THe only DIY job I've ever done myself. We had a open plan kitchen diner in the previous house and the father-out-law offered to lay the flooring for us; I offered to pay in beer not for a moment thinking the beer would be consumed on the job. He layed the floor with about an inch stagger so as not to generate waste (?), except for in the middle of the kitchen where he managed to line things up perfectly. I had a shit floor with what looked like a trap door.
It took me a week to lift it all and then put it down again. He never noticed and commented for years how good it looked.
LOL
Now that I would have loved to have seen a picture of.
