    stop watching Jeremy Kyle and fix that tap fatty

    Its a win win. Less time for them to pop out more feral kids and burgle their neighbours houses, more money for Carlsberg and Lambert and Butler, so they won’t have to do as much shoplifting. 😀

    Im sure the Sun article is entirely accurate. Should you not be reading The Daily Mail anyway?

    Imagine being the teacher of the basic DIY courses they are going to be offered.

    TBH I think it’s a good idea, my tenants expect me to change lightbulbs and to come round every time a trip switch goes..

    mmmmmm, having seen the quality of some tenants handywork, this ain’t going to work. Okay, some may be compentent but the majority will be hopeless and all it will do is delay the work being done a second time by somone more capable.

    NOOOOOOOOOO… we do a lot of work in ‘community housing’ and most of it is around repairing DIY attempts.

    i ve seen combi boilers with thier flues taken off to keep the warm air in.. flues dismantled in lofts because there noisy.. a boiler in a bedroom wrapped in a duvet because it hums.. ( the guy had tinitus) a bucket by every radiator as the guy said he wanted then to have fresh water in every day.. the number of radiators that we ve had to replace where tenants decide to move them ( without thinking that they might have water in them.. air vents essential for supplying air to a gas appliance stuffed with jumpers to get rid of the draught..

    I ve never seen DIY that has not cost the property manager/ owner more in the long run.

    Are ‘links to the super soar-away sun’ the new ‘links to the daily mail’?

    Based on totalshell’s stories, perhaps this is a thinly veiled experiment in population control and eugenics?

    It’s not just council tenants, I’m currently renovating the upstairs of my house, and was pleasantly surprised to find half decent and recent plaster in one of the rooms, the only problem being that they’ve plastered straight over the old, rotten wallpaper…
