What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

[kalimon]

Treated my car to a new driveway, not quite finished but nearly there
 

Very smart Kalimon, driveway and car

Thanks Watts, it's a shame I've got to park my Transit on it as well but needs must.

That looks really well Kalimon.

Did you have a couple of manholes on your old drive that you had to move or work around?

Your neighbor looks like they have just the right amount of room for a transit

I have 2 large rectangular manhole covers at the front of my drive and 2 smaller round inspection covers nearer the edges.
I am having steel cover installed right now actually, the guys are outside doing a fantastic job.
The are £150 per cover but worth the extra to hide old concrete covers.
I can't recommend the company doing the drive highly enough. They are 'Manchester Driveways' for anyone interested and they lay the blocks on about 6 inces of concrete, no danger of sinking. Not the cheapest by any stretch but you get what you pay for in the end.
The blocks are Marshall Tegula in traditional with a border in Pennant grey.

That's a mighty fine driveway.
Did you do it yourself?

Thanks mate. I certainly didn't do it myself as I wanted it be flat and ready to use this decade
They are finishing it off today and then I have to pay them unfortunately

That makes me feel a bit better.
My feelings of total inadequacy have now returned to the more usual slightly above moderate inadequacy.
I used to be able to claim "I can at least wire a plug" but even they come welded to the cables nowadays. Probably to protect the world from people like me. 

I have acute driveway envy now.
You do realise you'll spend every Sunday now digging out weeds with a butter knife?!

I used to think I was quite handy at diy until a few of my latest attempts convinced me otherwise
Much easier to get a man in for tasks that need doing properly.
Hopefully my wife doesn't ask them to take over other jobs in the house that she claims I perform poorly at 
PS
Do yourself a favour and watch 'Curb Your Enthusuasm'.  Awesome show!!

Ran a duster round the rancid interior.

I'm not going to click through the link until "after hours" but I wouldn't mind betting that there was a few more tools involved than a Poundland duster Ms B! 
Nice to see the piano black looking dust free though. Wonder how long it'll stay like that? Bloomin' stuff.

I'm going to look that up over the weekend.
I'll be able to brush up on my technique!

Well I will reach the half way point of my lease at the end of the month. And I've taken the big decision to give her back and buy my own car. So today I put down a deposit on a 2nd hand BMW 330d Touring. A slightly sad day, but it's time I knocked the leasing on the head. Looking forward to actually owning my own car. A remap on the Beemer will be next!
