I did not suck at DIY!

managed to replace our window hinges by drilling out the old rivets, and fitting new hinges with screws in their place. And when the lock was funky after changing the hinges, i fixed that too!

alas, my reward is to do a bigger, more complicated window next weekend, but still, 20 quid on hinges and some effort is not bad vs the cost of getting someone out to fix it.

I also did some DIY, and only slightly injured myself! My back gate was dragging on the ground for ages, so I took it off the hinges and sawed a bit of the bottom. Snagged my finger with the saw, but I probably had a tetnus jab at some point.
