Aeons later, I\u2019ve finally got around to it. I\u2019ve been sat at home for approaching two hours now, in the front lounge area, keeping an eye out, to make sure nobody nicks my clamps, whilst it glues up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another wee jobbie that needed attending to was the back door. It was practically falling off; the top hinge had mysteriously lost two screws. And the two that remained, were loose. All of this added up to making it not close properly, unsurprisingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fully screwed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Closes much better now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are hundreds more similar jobs that need to be done, throughout our dear ol\u2019 home. The next on my list is the \u2018orrible manky mouldy trim, etc, around the bath. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
