BC Make Do Mend

Another day.....another gate! This time for a Didsbury homeowner wanting to secure the side of his house.

Been busy lately so not had time to post.
Seem to be replacing lots of garden gates and here’s one of them I did for local Didsbury business. The old gate was falling off and rotten But owner wanted a similar style gate. Therefore bespoke gate made and I’m pleased with result....mortice lock added for convenience and security.

I'm still here!! Been busy with lots of 'mend' jobs that are not worthy of a pic! But last week enjoyed getting out in a clients garden replacing a rotten screen whilst staying true to original design ..... happy with result 😁

Always great to know your client likes the job you've done for them.....
"absolutely love the front fence and thank you so much for helping us with getting the (new furniture) in the house, there's no way we would have got that in without you! Let us know when you're next available for more jobs"

Been in Chorlton this week mainly spent making and fitting this small fence for front wall of terraced house and boxed in the gas meter in living room.

Last week spent a couple of days replacing a very tired, old cellar door at a social club in Didsbury with this beauty!

Today I've been busy making and fitting a side gate for a client who is going away on holiday and therefore wanted to make property secure..... really enjoyed this one!

Been a bit quiet on here lately but that's because been pretty busy 'doing, making, mending', but sadly didn't manage to get photos of all the jobs!

So, in the last few weeks I've;
* chopped trees down
* replaced 5 internal doors
* renovated an old mantelpiece and given it a new lease of life
* fixed some external security lights
* replaced sealant around a leaking shower
* made a new bath panel and painted in F&B strong white
* sanded and repainted front door in F&B brasssica
* cleared gutting and repaired/ replaced wood cladding on front of house
* fitted a new toilet seat
* fitted out under-stairs cupboard making it a great extra storage area

So, if you've got something you need me to 'Make, Do, Mend' please get in touch.......

Been busy the last 2 days making a fitted wardrobe in a bedroom alcove. Designed the internal storage with the client to suit her requirements and got a text tonight saying 'thanks, it's fab!' .....job done!

Didsbury shed finished! Had to do quite a bit of ground work, clearing space, replacing missing fence panels, laying new base, but then the fun bit .... constructing the metal shed, always loved Meccano as a kid!
And got to give credit to pal Mike C for help with run to the tip and french pastries!

Starting Monday I'm building a shed in Didsbury.....hope the good weather lasts a bit longer!

Made 'hole in wall' and floating mantle on previously blank chimney breast flat wall to create a feature in large living room.
