The stair gate is fitted!
I have struggled with manly things today: saws, and electric drills and something called a power screw. Even the names of these tools are enough to send a frisson of sensual pleasure through me, and to spend the afternoon handling them has sent my testosterone levels through the roof. After the gate was fitted, it was all I could do to avoid letting out a primal scream of pleasure. Indeed, I am considering dragging my Significant Other off to the garage by her hair shortly.
The one down side of today's DIY escapade was that I had to venture into my garage. It is a bit of a mess in there. In fact, on the Miller Homes map of the estate there is a little skull and cross bones where the garage should be and a Gothic inscription reading "Here Be Dragons". In fact there are no dragons in there. There however roughly 103 cardboard boxes full of books.
I fear I will need to tackle it soon. The thought is already sapping my testosterone levels.
