2010 will hopefully see a rise is all those lovely DIY projects we love so much! And hopefully a decrease in the vehicle “panic” maintenance i.e. when it brakes down and you have to attempt a repair!

This blog is being set up in conjunction with the other Salaric blogs, Salaric Art and Craft, Salaric Wildlife and Gardening and Salaric Cooking and Entertaining. Living in a 600 year old cottage in the cotswolds we tend to have a lot of DIY projects and running on a budget that is really far to low to cope we often have to fix our own vehicles and the like too! This blog seemed like a natural extention to the family of blogs especially as we were flooded in the 2007 Great Gloucestershire Floods – it was in 2008 when our home started to be put back together again thankfully by the insurance that the idea of a DIY blog came into beign – why it took us so long to get round to starting it I can not say other than we had a year of dodgy internets after moving back in and many and varied adventures on the way!

Still he we are at the beginning of the shiny new 2010 and we hope to produce a nice useful and sometimes funny blog to help with all you out there who are “doing it for themselves!”
