      <description>&lt;P&gt;I consider myself fairly handy, but there are times when nothing goes right. I'm a glutton for punishment, so never give up until I get it right.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't work a full day, but recently I took 2 days to fit a new toilet seat, &amp;amp; most of a morning fitting a showerhead. : (&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It's not all doom &amp;amp; gloom, I have great days where I surprise myself at how well a jobs gone. When Tania is surprised that it's finished already, I tell her "it doesn't take me long to do a 5 minute job", or "ah, it's noth'n, it was a shiela job". : P&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Have just taken the poll and find that I am one of the 80%. That is great as I always start at least three different jobs at once so I have the money and ability to finish at least one and the others get finished later. Not a great way of doing things but they still all get done it's just a case of when.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Great to see so many Workshop members rate themselves experts. We're in good hands when seeking advice!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Workshop members&amp;nbsp;have a wide range of D.I.Y. skills according to our latest poll.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;27 per cent of the community rated their skills as beginner level, while 13 per cent considered themselves experts. The majority of Workshop members - 60 per cent - rated their D.I.Y. skills as intermediate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks to all members who participated in the poll.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;As it's been a year since we ran this poll and we've had many more members join, we decided to run it again over the past week. The results suggest we still have a healthy mix of community members with a wide range of D.I.Y. skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks again to everyone who participated by adding their vote.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It's been a while since we last ran this poll.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For all those newer members out there, let us know how you rate your D.I.Y. skill level.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Do you rate yourself a beginner, intermediate, or expert?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let us know by replying below.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Well I have a little name tag that says I'm an expert in several areas, if that means anything. One thing I learnt early on in my career at Bunnings, was to pay attention to people that know their trade and/or are very good at what they do.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I always thought that the information I can learn from them would one day pay off, whether that be when I build my own house or have to answer peoples questions on the subject.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am reasonably humble about my skill-set but I'd have to go Expert in "D.I.Y", some-what lacking in specific areas, though I am very confident in the majority of D.I.Y applications.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Although I'll rate myself an expert, I will never stop listening and absorbing any information someone is willing to give to me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am also very happy to be corrected and told I am doing/sayin something wrong, so feel free to pull me up anytime.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>I'm an absolute beginner with most manual DIY tasks, although I'm pretty good at electronics.  &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I can slap paint on a wall or cupboard, and yes, repair a cupboard that was coming off the wall (used an angle bracket and it turned out nice)&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I recently learned how to fix holes in plaster and have become quite adept and happy I learned something I wouldn't even try to do in the past &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I can't even begin to build shelves,but give me a flat pack and I'm going to be fine. I recently put up a load of "bit boxes" in my electronics workshop, and actually got it all straight! but heck that's not difficult.&lt;BR /&gt;I can grow roses that look nice, and I'm good at plants (green thumb)&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I work with a friend who is good at building what I design - my letter box is shaped like a Newtonian telescope (picture coming). I designed it, he built it, and my next project is.......&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;We have had some trees chopped down, and we are using the stumps as decorative pedestals instead of stump grinding.  One of them may end up as a table. Yes, the stumps are that big.  That's the plan anyway. It all depends on how good I get, but If I design it well, my friend can do the making.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>I rate myself lucky! Me and my brother were clearing bush one day and a wild swing from my brothers machete landed on the bony top part of right foot! I will go with adequate but always open to learning more! The answer to the question was yes it was just a flesh wound and my brother never heared the end of it from my mom! Your never too old to DIY!</description>

      <description>I'm pretty good at most things, for those which are new to me I look up on the internet and based on that sometimes I decide that a tradie is a better option. Often when I use a tradie though, I make all the preparation work myself, like digging or gathering information going into the roof cavity measuring and making sketches for example; then I do the final plastering or gap filling or just painting. Often the job requires a new tool which might be more expensive to buy or rent, considering the risk of first time use.&lt;BR /&gt;I also try to be around when tradies do work so I can soak up some knowledge and make sure they do a good job, given some bad and shonky experiences in the past. Of course electrical and plumbing work I get done by a tradie, and sometimes chase them for the certificate of compliance! I do design a lot of my projects, to optimise the materials and make sure I buy all that I need. Often I also build mock-ups of shelves or cabinets or other with cardboard, to get a feel on the right size and/or discuss with my wife the proper placement.&lt;BR /&gt;Often I start doing a job and discover some shonky older work, so I have to extend the scope of the project!</description>
