A few posts ago (here) I listed some of the Eternal Laws of DIY that I've discovered during a long career of exercising what I laughingly call my craft skills. This is not an exhaustive list..! Carrying on from where I left off last time, here we go:
15. Never start a job on a Sunday afternoon. 16. You can never find the thing you need until you don't need it. 17. Someone will have used the last bandage/band aid the day before you do involuntary finger surgery. 18. The only known supplier of the part you need closed down last weekend. 19. The most useless tool in your tool box is the wrong size Allen Key! 20. Superglue is a must for many DIY tasks - it is guaranteed to rapidly and permanently stick objects to anything other than that intended. 21. Despite clearing up after a job and putting everything back on the right hook, in the right box, in the right place on the right shelf - things disappear.
