Fitting doors

Post by ultimatehandyman »

I have 7/8 (can't remember how many exactly) doors to fit for the Bird.

It's snowing outside and the garage is detached and so I have to take each one outside to the garage in order to cut it or fit the hinges etc.


GOD- I hate DIY, it should be outlawed :cussing: :cussing: :cussing:

She is very well organised though, I have been here for an hour and she has still not arrived to make some room in the garage or help.

She never makes a drink anyway. The missus does not drink Tea,coffe or anything alcoholic or fizzy. I just drink beer or cider at her house as it saves me makng a brew for just myself :cb

Be careful what you wish for!!!

be out of a job :lol: , at least an internet job
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Well the deal was...you show me one or two and then I do the rest. But what happens....as soon as I go near the Dewalte you stress on me. Every time I pick up stanley you shout I might hurt myself. Im not a muppet who is about to slice her fingers off.....not with those expensive nails! You sweat when I even reach for the new chisels. Then I cant carry the doors cos they are 2 heavy for me and all you do is moan that I dont make a brew. The pink kettle is for display purposes only that way it lasts for ever! You love doing DIY here cos you get to take loads of photos and make pages for the webbie! I made you a nice ham butty what more do you want?
Anyway I told you Id buy you that jigger, router, door hinge template thingy for Xmas so that would do it all for you, but still you refuse. So you cant complain!!! :boxing:

The deal was I show you ONCE and then you fit the rest.

What happens- I end up fitting 5 of them and have another 4 still to fit ::b

I don't want a door hinge jig as I have never used my Router yet and can't see the point in the jig if you are only doing a handful of doors.
