Dremel 3000 multi function hand tool

So I decided to do a bit of diy in the house last weekend, got myself a Titan combi drill from Screwfix and thought myself how to use. Don’t laugh I never used anything like this hat before, I used to have a man in the house....Now I have to learn everything and thank god for YouTube.
I also needed to change the toilet seat, I thought it would take me 5 minutes...10maximum, except that I did not count on the bolt,holding the seat, to be steel and rusted beyond the point of being unscrewed.


I tried to drill them and that did not work, tried WD40 not even going to talk about that. Then though about a grinder but the space is to small for a normal grinder. I went on google and found the Dremel multi function hand tool. Screwfix sells one for around £70, it comes with an extension, the corded Dremel and 25 attachments.



 I used it tonight and it made it easier, just grinded the top of the bolt to nothing, the rest fell 


I have to say I’m very proud of myself. I installed the new toilet seat

My fur family

One of the reason why I want to stop using chemicals in the house is my fur family. I share the house with 2 kittens, there are nice enough to let me share their space, and sometimes some cat houseguests. So let me introduce you to Piper. She loves playing fetch with hair band and crocheting. And Max, he likes food, preferably human food, and smelling flowers.

The washing machine episode

Image
It all started in December when my washing machine decided that it was going to back up in the sink. In itself there is nothing major but the washing powder, full of chemicals, and the conditioner, full of chemicals and animal fat (did not know about that one until I did some research), were swirling in the sink. Did I forget to mention that my 2 fur kids like to play with water in the sink. I found them paws in the water, needless to say that I wash their paws as thouroughly as I could. I then googled what was in the washing powder and conditioner and like any parents I got scared. To start with I looked at the plumbing and there was nothing there. I also talked to a pumbler and he said I should get a pipe just for the washing machine running next to the sink pipe. Sounds like a lot of work and it is, it’s also pretty expensive. I thought I found the solution by putting a wash bowl in the sink except that little cats paws where still able to play with the water on the side of th...

A different conditioner

As I tackled the washing powder, I was still left with the problem of the clothing conditioner. Did some research, thanks Google, and found the wonders of distilled white vinegar. Tried it a few times and it worked. I got more adventurous and I added some lemon essential oil. There was a nice lemony smell when the washing machine was on but it did not last on the clothes. I used: 568ml of distilled white vinegar (Tesco’s own is 39p/bottle) 30-40 drops of essential oil Give it a good mix each time before using it, pour as much as you want in the conditioner draw. So I started to pour some essential oil on a wet rag and added it to the dryer and that worked better. At the minute I use lavender oil and it smells so nice in the house.
