Owwwwww
Oh my god, the pain.
I was clearly not designed with DIY in mind. Or maybe I'm just monstrously unfit. Possibly both. Either way, after two days of hard work, I'm aching quite a bit.
The first task - good news everybody - my shower, formerly busted, now works. It was indeed the solenoid, so full marks to me for being a plumbing genius. If I haven't been electrocuted by the end of the week, then bonus points to me for fixing the shower and not killing myself.
Meanwhile, my long-running decorating project is nearing completion (started as a result of a boiler breakdown in March last year, but in my defense I'd been out of the country for most of 2006). I'm on the final stretch. Please don't quote anything along the lines of 80% of the work only takes 20% of the time. The floor is three quarters laid, and the room should be complete next weekend. Now all I need to do is buy the new furniture ...
