@Former-Member Grems, it was either the pool or the horse trough.

I didn’t much care which.

Shite I got to water the orchard 🍎 💨 👋🏼

@Ru-bee thankyou ❤️

@Glisten i guess a swim is a swim regardless of where it is 😂.

Have fun watering the orchard.

G’day Rubes @Ru-bee Yes I go alright 👍🏼

I can patch and render walls and doors. Remove or add skirting boards.

Fix a leaking tap, mount blinds, build furniture from scratch.
Woodturn pens 🖊️ and bowls. I haven’t tried whittling wood 🪵 I’d like to make my own cooking spoons 🥄 out of olive 🫒 wood. Olive wood doesn’t fluff when you wash it.

My son taught me how to landscape.

Make a compost bin from pallets. Make liquid fertiliser from horse manure.

I can chop wood with both hands and shovel. Reminds me that I need to fill in some rabbit holes.

My son said I was the only person who could keep up with him on a pick and shovel 😁

Really want to try concrete polishing 🤔

@Ru-bee what are your interests?

[Ru-bee]

Wow, I really admire those with such practical skills @Glisten 

Recently my biggest interests have been knitting and sewing - I just spent the weekend mending and altering clothes for myself and family members and it's such a great feeling to learn a new skill which is so useful.

I'd love to learn some of the skills you've mentioned. I can be a bit handy with minor things like patching up a hole in the wall but I'd loooove to be able to do things like fix a leaky tap. Maybe those things will come a bit more when (or if) I live in a place of own rather than renting. I'd also love a garden space to landscape myself....one day...

Nice @Glisten ! That bench seat looks like a day bed. Love it! So amazing.

I want to do up an old bench seat and put it around our fire pit

[tyme]

That's a great idea @ArraDreaming  🙂
