Things you never tackle yourself

The Cowboy · January 22, 2015

Anything car-related. I'll change a tyre, but that's my limit. Would never dream of doing an oil change myself.

Electrics. I've changed a few ceiling light pendants, but that's it.

Plumbing. I am not going anywhere near that. I have no idea where the mains tap is!

Wall papering, I hate it.

Gardening. Any aspect of it. Hate it. More than Phil Neville.

I will have a go at anything really......with varying dregrees of success.

I remember changing the oil in my car one time, years ago....but I was on a tight schedule and rushing it. Drained off the oil, changed the filter. Tipped in the new oil and checked the dipstick. Nothing. I had tipped it straight through the engine without refitting the drain plug.

Gutted.

Toilet.

I'll buy Mrs M a bog brush but that's my limit

The cat's litter tray. That's all up to the missus to sort out seeing as she wanted the damn thing!

Did you enjoy your time in the Bullingdon club?

Ha ha, I'm only talking about the £4.99 white plastic ones from Homebase, not Swarovski crystal chandeliers!

Car/van. Wheel, battery and screen wash. Beyond that not a clue.

@Kurt's mar. Shoulders on her like Frank Bruno, face like Mike Tyson.
Proper wrong'un.

Anything else, let me at it.

I'm ok with construction with the house, rebuilt the finish walls in the basement. I'm ok with electrical, rewired about 80% of my house.

I will not touch plumbing. Water is magic and it's an evil magic. It'll happily disobey the laws of physics to ruin parts of your house so I'll gladly pay someone to do it for me.

Seriously though, anything water related I wouldnt touch, I've had enough bad experiences with water boilers in the past.

Car repairs, i have my dream car (old c class mercedes) that i treat like a baby. If i break anything on it then it goes straight in the garage, even if im skint for the rest of the month.

Gardening is mainly machine based so its not that bad.
Cooking i am really poor at, my attitude is burn it until its black then i assume its cooked.

I'm lucky to have a boiler that's only a few years old, so <touch wood> no dramas yet. Had all manner of trouble in our old house, and I am still not convinced the plumber really knew what he was doing - I think he was just changing stuff and hoping for the best.
