Handyman at work

As our son approaches moving into another room to accommodate child #2, I have been conscripted to get a bed, mattress and paint his new room. My wife came home the other day with 6 spice racks from Ikea that she decided could be mounted on the wall to use as bookshelves for him. Today I was sent to Bunnings to get some screws and wall anchors to put them up. Here is the result:



I may have "accidently" misunderstood her and now he has inherited the "best of the best" of my fishing magazine collection, just to make sure he is indoctrinated early!

I also managed to pick up about 1m length of 1" PVC, a joiner and some gaffer tape to knock up this for my kayak light:


I just had to fit the joiner to the bottom and used a hacksaw to cut out a groove at the top for the light to fit in. It stayed together well, but used some tape for added security. The reason I added the joiner at the bottom is that it now fits perfectly into a vertical rod holder that is located just behind where I sit in the yak. It has 4 LEDs and I think you'll be able to see me for miles this snapper season!
