Once tried to paint my front door and fucked it up so badly that a professional had to sand it down. Cost me more than a workman would have done in the first place.

    I’ve built a 50m^2 (550 ft^2 ) greenhouse from polycarbonate I bought online and timber I bought from a local sawmill.

    I’ve had no prior carpentry experience and neither my education or work experience (software engineering) was any help. The design and how to was a result of several weeks of evenings spent watching YouTube.

    On the other hand the 5 step long staircase I’ve added to the porch because I was feeling cocky is so bad I’ll be fixing it the 4th time next weekend…
