DIY Martin!

Last weekend we finally got down to business with sorting out our little apartment once and for all. Floors were cleaned, photo frames were filled and put up and all that was left for late Sunday afternoon was the menial little task of putting up the blind in the bedroom. Or so we thought....

We'd borrowed Rob and Adele's drill for the task, measured the distances required thrice over and were ready! But what happened? Something went horribly wrong....

Somehow we'd miscalculated distances and Martin was left getting thoroughly frustrated with the drill, the drill bits, the screws, the wall - just about anything really!!

But the good news is he managed it in the end... and now we have a beautiful blind to keep out the sun!!!


He gets ready with Rob's manly power drill...


The pose.


One successful drillage and screwage.


One "not-so-successful-how-on-earth-did-we-measure-it-wrong?" drillage.


Success!! He can hardly believe his eyes...
