I’m pretty handy at most things, having spent most of my working life in construction, but my Achilles heels are plastering and electrics which, if anything other than an absolute necessity, I invariably leave to the experts! 
I reckon that unless your nuts are well secured, your screws could become loose;-)
Before you consider any kind of filling-in, what about planting some spring bulbs for a small but pleasant display after what could be a cold winter:-D
I reckon that, if your a bloke, if you don’t check your nuts regularly, you’re a right spanner.
an idea did think of as well, just got to go to garden centre to measure up a trough first that is slim . Same as we’ve strawberry plants in
Is it AF - Metric - BSP or Whitworth Besoeker…?
I think that family passing on of DIY skills should be as important as Potty training or learning to read & write.
The youngsters should be involved in every task.
I know people who are happy even though they have to get someone in to change a plug fuse!
:shock:
I’m not much good at plastering either. I have had a go and can get it to a reasonable finish for tiling over or perhaps in a cupboard but I take my hat off to the experts. The plasterer I used to give work to was an absolute genius.
I’m happy to try my hand at some things, though I’m not an expert at anything.
Electrical work - to an extent, probably limited to simple connections and fittings, etc.
Building - I did once build a lean-to garage which is still standing and looks reasonably straight!
Woodwork - I put together a set of bookshelves filling the whole side of a room and a couple of cabinets. Certainly not professional carpentry, though.
Roofing - I have replaced our guttering, but that’s about it (and admittedly we are in a bungalow - I’m afraid of heights).
Gardening - Marge’s department.
Plumbing - not a chance, though I once replaced a washer!
Painting - hate it. If I really have to do it, Marge has to do the edges.
Plastering - What’s that?
