The whole house from top to bottom. Not done anything since we bought the place.

Erm, tap washer on it's way out and the bath needs re-sealing. Keep meaning to sort both of them, neither are a long job but I always seem to have some excuse!
 
The only job i keep doing is unblocking the wc as its a crappy 2 push button and people only seem to press the wee wee side. Ensuring things dont get flushed through enough !!
 
Some bloody bathroom specialist me, I've been doing mine for 8 months now and she's not happy.
 
took me a year to fix the loo, now the basin tap needs a new cartridge,
could do it this weekend...........or not......
 
She often asks me how i get paid, as all the jobs i do at home are nearly always late and done to a very poor standard, she just doesn't understand the game 🙂
 
To be honest, i have a dozen jobs to finish in the house. I get the notion that something needs doing and just do it. Finishing it is another matter. I get it "nearly done then always seem to leave something to catch later.
Some of my outstanding things are
My bathroom needs a foot of paneling fitted above the mirror. I got a 10ft x 3ft mirror special cut to inlay above the tiles and decor board to match above the other wall. Because of the size of it i reconned it would be better with a couple of screws to hold it back rather than glue it and have to smash it to get it down in the future (superstitious). Fitted the mirror up and next morning it had a ping across the corner of one of the screws. Never quite got around to getting a new one cut so the panelling is off until the bathroom gets done again.
My boiler prv is passing so i've temporarily stuck a speedfit end on it. I'll fix that the next time i swap the boiler.
My kitchen has 4 tiles needing grouted to finish it but i ran out of grout at the time so it will probably be like that until i rip the lot out again.
I have a dropped neutral somewhere on my upstairs lights....but they still work so i'll find it when i get time. (i should really do that one)+
 
Tons.... and a misses that won't let me forget them either!

-Bathroom (horrible awkward shaped small one!)
-Decorate stairwell (awkward and tall)
-New roof on garage
-Decorate back bedroom and turn into office (to get my paperwork out of the way!).
-The garden... All of the garden....
-hundreds of other still waiting too

Oh joy, can't wait to get home now.
