Thread: Diy sos chitty's big build nightmare!

Will the bed be lying on its side, or at an angle?

30 degrees at least, I reckon.

Zulu you slagggg!

Talk about triggers!!!

The flaming bed, luckily it is a flat pack cabin style with storage underneath.

There is about 30% walking space next to the bed which isn't ideal. However when he's older a single bed will provide about 40% walking space next to the bed.
There's a wardrobe in there also all care of IKEA and their amazing space saving ideals.

Dillinger, do you have a wheelie bin for that cat to drop into

David, the only insurance needed around these parts is a dog and a baseball bat.

My hands and head are hurting, time to get on the sauce.

Trip - Is that a wonderwall or a wonderworld?

Everyone's a chicken salsa

Coulda saved time and money had you put up frame and stapled wall paper on it.

It looks like it is coming along somewhat.. what a job you took on.
Proud of you! Almost done? Just think of the satisfaction when you are finished, even if it isn't exactly what you were going for.

That poster idea is pretty cool, saves buying expensive pictures or wallpaper.

Think i've broke the back of this job, on the home straight now...

A bodge a day or two...

That light fitting is still a thorn in my side?




Cheers for the tip with the tape Jack, worked a treat.

Haha. Good joke.
You know that tape won't paint well, don't you? And that the tape (proper plastering tape) runs along the joint?
Sorry if statng the obvious, but I'm starting to have my doubts as to whether you are joking or not. Just want you to have the best end result.
I note you didn't add a few extra nogs at strategic points on your diagonal strut frame....you will regret that.


Geez Chitty....mixing metric with imperial...no wonder there's a few little almost unnoticable tiny flaws.

Missed this thread until now.

Looks like too much hard work. We've just had the painters in - literally, inside and out - so I think you're fucking nuts for bothering to do it yourself.

Quite impressed though also, just quietly.

Every bit of old clothes / curtains/ etc in da house has been recycled.

Looks more like its padded with fire accelerant. You sure that's a good idea?

Fooker's got the place fire insured for 3 million quid.

Nearly there, you deserve a break here, my squeeze is always on the lookout for a handyman and has never met any of the British Hill tribes.
P.S. time the fire for November 5th, the loss adjuster will think that padding was just a passing Guy
