Bob The Builder

Well.
I'm not much of a handyman although there are some things I've learned over the years through home renovations.
Those regular visitors know that I'm finishing a few bits and pieces of my house so I can sell it.
I've spent the last few days clear coating architraves.
I did the last coat on the skirting board last night with the last dribble left in the tin.
When I woke up this morning I discovered that the end of the tin was all tained and it looked like I'd been painting with glue.
I was not happy.
A quick sand an a repaint with clear coat was all it took to fix, but they will never look as nice as they did before I fucked them up.
I also did a tiny bit of painting.
It's remarkable really - give me a brush and a pile of colours and I'll whip you up something spectacular.
A blank wall...can I ever make it look good?....
I would never ask my builder to whip me up a commercial script or a mural would I, so why do I tackle these little things???
