Bloody DIY

 I started Sunday with the full intent of reattaching the hose reel to a wall, following the building of the garage. I took three trips to B&Q to get various wall fixings, but they were all absolute garbage.


How did I ensure the screws held the reel to the concrete blocks? The simple method we all used before these fancy rawl plugs and expanding cage fittings were invented. I split some kindling into matchsticks and hammered these into the drill holes.

Worked a treat - wish I'd done that first.
