Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

Is it sold?

I am so confused.

Even I've thought about it from time to time, I bought my GTT for 11k. If I went and dropped a second hand motor in the thing I could palm it off for what now days seems to be double what I originally paid for. Then sell the rest of the parts I have lying around and go buy a c63, m series or 370. Hell even go find a buck80 shell and drop the built motor in that for lulz.

One can only wish for an insane person like yourself or myself to buy an incomplete project!

Would love a 335i F30 or even M3/4 F80 but yeah money doesn't grow on trees and I don't even have a job at the moment  (my position got made redundant, so did 50 others).

I didn't wanna bring it up as I'm sure it is a shit thing to talk about.

Taking some time before you hunt for work again?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Yeah, started renovating the laundry, nothing better than spending money when you're not making money lol

 

[Silverhks]

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

At least with the laundry you have something to keep you occupied.

@WantGTR more reno pics as requested, tile on tile for the floor.

Prep & Prime on and a mock of how the tiles might look.

[WantGTR]

Looks crazy. What boost?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Wait till it comes, haven't bought the washing machine yet, but will be German and throw check machine lights lol

Doing the reno yourself? Man of many talents.

Everything but the tiling, didn't want to buy more tools and cook up job lol

I only do everything myself because I can't afford some sex spec business to come do it for me, so I DIY lol

[No Crust Racing]

I like to try and do as much as I can, but there are some jobs I don't attempt.

I put tiling in that basket, but a mate of mine had a go using youtube clips when he did his bathroom and I have to say it came up as good as I'd expect a tradie to do. 

I've got kitchen/bathroom/laundry to do in this place and I'm considering outsourcing the whole lot lol

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Haha mate house plumbing is easier than plumbing up cars, especially with the PEX stuff!

Electrical is a piece of piss too, you need to be massively retarded to cook up house wiring!

But yeah I would have preferred to outsource the lot, but I'm an Asian and I'm a tight arse.

Cabinets were all custom ordered and cut to my dimensions then flag packed. Picking them up next week, will be a good surprise lol

[No Crust Racing]

Oh that stuff I do, that's not a reno though. I just see that stuff as basic maintenance work and I do all that. First year apprentice work for a tradie. When I was helping my mate put in our new ducted ac/heater he told me I would make a good TA lo f**k him

I was more talking bench tops, cabinets, tiling etc but the flat pack is a good idea.

Dad bought a Bosch front loader washing machine, it died after 5 years (electronics). The LG one I bought is still going hard after 5 years. Heavy use (6 people in the house).

[No Crust Racing]

Samsung 7kg front loader here, we've had it 8yrs so far, 6 of which has been with kids... 

I have replaced one water valve (leaking) and I suspect the shocks that hold the barrel are getting tired. 

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

oooft, eBay codes haha, just ordered a new washer

Exciting!!

[niZmO_Man]

3 years warranty? You know what will happen at 3.1 years

[No Crust Racing]

Only 3yrs? pathetic. 

8kg washer for 2 people? 

Is this your way of telling us you're expecting twins? 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Future proof

Same way I got a Tiguan 162 as a daily.

[No Crust Racing]

You heard it here first.

Twins on the way.
