Car Parking Skills

Gerald from Hoon Hay

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

Carpet vinyl layers

Thomas from Spreydon

Hi guys I'm doing a bit of diy flooring which has worked out great but not so confident putting in a transition strip from the vinyl to the carpet. Is there any one or know of any one looking for a little cash job to put one in for me? The strip is about 3m and has a 45degree angle corner.
