My channel is dedicated to those things close to my heart: DIY and outdoor pursuits.
The DIY series will cover subjects, such as, plastering, carpentry, plumbing, tiling and basic electrics, etc. I am not an expert in these areas. However, by sharing my experiences (good and bad) I hope to inspire others to have a go and invest in a few basic tools which will save them lots of cash and minimize their reliance on so-called experts who offer meaningless guarantees and little if any redress for poor workmanship. My aim is to become more self-reliant and better able to support my family in these difficult and uncertain times.
My series on outdoor activities will cover my favourite hobbies including, bushcraft, camping, hiking and cycling amongst others. These activities enable me to enjoy nature and offer respite from the stresses and frustrations of living in a world marred by conflict, political deceit, consumerism, greed and the ever spiralling decline in moral values.

I would of had the door open outwards
Cleaning the socket box out like a real plasterer should do. As an electrician I have no issues with smashing all the muck out with my claw hammer to make sure the plasterer needs to return if he fouls my work by leaving back boxes full of muck. 👍🏻
Pretty decent I think I’ll copy you if you don’t mind
Feel free my friend. Enjoy. Des
I understand a coat of PVA is necessary on the bonding if multi finish plaster is used. Is it really needed when filler is used?
Yes, unless you're filling joints on plasterboard. ATB, Des
you can't mig weld with that. only stick welding or basic tig welding
You're correct. Thanks for clarifying. Des
Stopped for M&S Foodhall, I thought they ate raw roadkill
No Lidl there mate.
I am preparing myself for a DIY job to lay a new carpet and watched quite a number of videos how to do it. But here I like the fact that you are yourself not a professional and show your mistakes so for DIY person it is good to know them and keep in mind. Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful! Really appreciate you dropping by mate. Des
Des pre 1990 they put asbestos in Lino tiles flooring and mixed it with cement just but a few things it was in Great video as usual and love your work 👍
Thanks very much for your continued support. Appreciated. Des
A longer pry bar will make light work
I'm marking the route of cables on the boards so it will be obvious in future as some are in cut channels in the top of the joists immediately covered by the floorboards.
Great idea buddy. I do exactly the same thing. ATB, Des
Same thing would happen if this is the first time you bleed a car brake
I would love to hear your commentary while reviewing your purchases. I recall enjoying your enthusiasm when checking out that tripped up van or that scooter ride. Thanks for providing an excursion from the news & politics. ❤
i love pigeons as pets, why do you have to kill them😢😭
Hi there, I personally don't kill pigeons or any living creature. I'm an animal lover like yourself. Just debating the subject that's all my friend. ATB, Des
Des get yourself a 1000volt jackery Great video mate 👍
Cheers buddy - appreciated. I'm actually currently looking for a power station. I'm considering a Jackery alongside an Eco-flow and a Bluetti. Appreciate your input buddy. Thanks, Des
That looks lovely and relaxing Des. Great work
It was! Thanks very much buddy. Best wishes, Des
Great clip, thank you. Can I ask what electric heaters you installed as looking to remove the old storage heaters in my new flat. Thanks
Tilley should send you a free hat for loving the hat so much. I think the reason for destruction of the old hat is to prevent someone else to claim warranty with that hat. Because they also said Tilley will not ask you how you get the hat. They will be smater by just asking you to mail the old one back. Well, after all, they still honored their warranty.
Thanks for the OCD video.
many thanks, you made that look very easy, I will try some of your tips tomorrow as we've a whole house to rewire and scim,
Good luck with that. Just follow the steps, read my response to any comments and you should be fine buddy. Des
B&Q do a 5ltr pressure sprayer for £26, made in EU not China, much better quality! Goes under their brand name Verve.
Hi there and thanks for dropping by. Note that the title includes the words 'Best Value'. These spray bottles are currently £14.99 from Screwfix and still represent superb value for money - probably the best out there. I have 3 of these. 1 for spraying water, another for weed killer and a third for cleaning stuff. Just because it's made in China it doesn't mean that it's cr@p quality. Far from it actually. I therefore can't see how a sprayer almost double the price is preferrable just because it's made in the EU? Each to their own though. Best wishes, Des
@@21stcenturycaveman33 Yes, I know. I have had TWO from of these from Screwfix, one bought and one replaced under warranty after using it TWICE. The plastic securing nut on the outlet hose split both times. Replacements are not available. So my point was, not best value if they go faulty half way through the job. I think people would agree that China DO have a reputation for manufacturing cr@p, but they get away with it because they make returns impossible. 👍
I have a T4m0 hikers hat by Tilley. the original was made in Canada. It was an awesome hat for about 8 years. The fabric started breaking down so filed claim. Tilley done great on that part . You do have to destroy old hat and. Pay a 20.00 shipping fee. Once I got new hat the color the brim even material is off it looks like a seconds hat or knockoff off looked closer it was. Made in China. Not Canada anymore. The quality you can plainly see the difference. Very disappointing. The original was awesome but the replacement is not. I reached out to Tilley about being unsatisfied. They said oh our hats are made in China and other manufacturers to strict standards and quality. That I am wrong my hat isn’t defective and they only sell the highest quality. Not great customer service so I put a 1 star review and uploaded pictures side by side the destroyed hat still looked better than the new one! I never post a bad review on anything without first seeing if company will make it right ! In this case the customer is wrong and they’re right. So buyers beware I highly suggest check local stores if they have the Canada made hats there you might find a great hat. But these new Chinese made ones aren’t worth 120.00 not even close!
Would you buy these chairs if you knew they would be left outside in all weathers. Strange question but where did you buy the shorts from because i'm looking to buy 3/4 shorts but they don't sell them in my town.
Hi there. I wouldn't leave them out in all weathers on purpose unless they were covered with waterproof tarp, etc. Thy are actually mountain biking shorts which can be bought with or without the padded liner. The comfiest I've ever had. I'll see if I can get a name for you or where I got them from on-line. They're expensive though. Will get back yo you. Des
Afternoon Des, watched your video yesterday and I meant to ask, how is the roof holding up 4 years on? I’ve got a flat brick shed roof that needs new wooden beams due to rotting plus certain areas the roof panels need replacing plus obviously the felt. Oh and a new door frame, I’m not too bad at DIY but I’m a bit nervous about doing it
Hiya buddy. The roof is absolutely fine mate. Still going strong and as good as the day I laid it. Best wishes, Des
How to put it back
Great video, not just of the device, but tge applications too. Very useful! Would love to see or understand why it wasn't hooked up to hoover
Good point for sure. I personally don't bother with the hook up as I find it makes things too cumbersome. Shoulod work a treat though. ATB, Des
Was is it comfortable? I have fond memories of sleeping on army cots while platform tenting with the family back in the 60's. There were 8 of us. Fun times.
Hi there. Yes, it is comfortable for sure. Different from sleeping on a conventional mattress but no bars sticking into your body when trying to rest. All good. ATB, Des
Is there a reason for no dialogue, missed your opening greeting?
Hi there. Sometimes, less is more. I just like to try different formats once in a while. Really appreciate your support. Best wishes, Des
Can you put a link up please 👍🏼
So sorry - done! ATB, Des
Would be cool to see how edc fits into the proteus. Great kit
I would have done a rabbit and internal bead. If the window needs replacing, it will be easier to do.
Hiya buddy, this is merely a DIY job using basic tools. Nothing fancy here matey. Appreciate you dropping by. Des
@21stcenturycaveman33 yeh, I get that. That's my level. It wasn't a criticism mate.
Thank you, a very detailed demonstration! Now, any old pie-brained dickhead with a wallet full of condoms way past the sell-by date, like me, can do it...
Sir, as a fellow veteran with vast experience of action in the field, I can confirm that the ordnance contained within your wallet should no longer be used. Yours, Master Gunner 'Boom Boom' Harris (Ret'd)
Given the stale date of your wallet's contents, I doubt it.
Brilliant video, thanks! I just saw it too late , already got an Harris roller, already failed to find any instructions on the site, already realised that the blocking mechanism doesn't work.
No problem 👍 Des
the saw cuts a few mm so you shouldnt measure all cuts pre cut. otherwise great work!😀
Thanks for the tip! ATB, Des
Thank you! Off to cut the grass now!
Have fun! Best wishes, Des
Love those ceiling "Jack's",, 👍👍
Can't believe this two ton shed is resting on a few breeze blocks and a handful of gravel, straight onto soil,, 😂😱🤣
Hiya buddy. Yes, you're right, it is pretty amazing isn't it mate? Who'd have thought that 4 yrs later it was still as solid as the day it, was constructed, eh?
Is this a "how not to video",,?? 🤣🤣,
Brilliant, great help, and used to build horizontal fence. Thank You
You're most welcome! Des
It’s first come first served on the pumps
Never expose your inner legs and center part of your body to the angle grinder cutting line. You have huge arteries running on inner side of your upper leg. Always have your body on the left or right side of the grinder cutting line. Use a full face shield or motorbike helmet or what ever you have. The proper tool for this would be a skill saw 7.25 inch, the blade can cut 2x deeper and would cut this in 2 cuts.
So strong and brave blocking all the fuel pumps on purpose
They're not blocking anything
Thank you. This video just helped me put my machine together appreciated
Glad it helped. ATB, Des
I just got one today also. Do you run it off a 13amp plug or use the blue plug?
How did you do the corner trimming?
Would u need to wait for the pva to dry
Not dry, just tacky. This will give a stronger bond. ATB, Des
Maybe if you had kept the cardboard boxes from the chips and used that to heat the log it may have caught!
You're right. With all that grease that log would have lit up like a Christmas tree. ATB, Des
@@21stcenturycaveman33That was a good scene. The tension got dialled up to 11!
Wow I didn't realise how strong and brave they are !
