i can do most stuff to a reasonable (often better than the 'pros' i get in)
plastering is still beyond me, though im getting better. still have to sand back though.
main one though is to be able to plan / decide what to do quickly. often the reason i dont start a job is i cant decide what im doing. sadly my wife is only able to tell me what she doesnt want...
oh and be organised with my stuff so it doesnt take half a day to find all the bits i need
re. caulking i splashed out on a ryobi caulking gun. game changer, well for me anyways. still struggle with a perfect finish in a corner where vertical and horizontals meet
I've been getting more ambitious with the things I make out of wood since having a shed to do stuff in. I'd like to be able to make close fitting joints. I suspect pine and cheap tools may play a small role in the difficulty. I haven't gone to any effort to learn specific techniques. Started making some cross lap joints for some frame work but they'll be hidden and are nowhere near good enough to be on show. Also need to learn how to sharpen chisels.
