Ooh, that reminds me. I need to sort out a battery for my circular saw still. Hrm. Not that I need it for anything, you understand, but it's a circular saw. Clearly it needs to have a new battery. Yes. Mmm.
As for structural stuff, my problem is I'm not very good at brick laying*. And pretty much everything in the UK is made of bricks. We have the odd bit of timber framing internally, but in our house everything except the infill under the stairs is solid brick. It does make the house feel nice, but it means I'm not touching any of it!
*Indeed, if I'm being honest, I'm pretty awful at it. The bricks under the sink look 'okay' but only in the sense of 'I'm going to paint them white when I get around to it and they're more or less out of sight, but really, they're pretty terrible. Also, it took me *aaaages* and I'm not convinced I was any better at laying them at the end of the job than at the beginning. Mind you, we've a wall that's trying to fall down at the bottom of the garden, so I may get to do some more with that.
