Ground Control to Major Tim: DIY in Space!

Space is so topical at the moment! With the untimely death of David Bowie fresh in our minds, we have also been following the progress of British astronaut Tim Peake as he attempted to spacewalk from the International Space Station.  The first attempt was aborted on the orders of Ground Control after a water bubble was noticed in the helmet of Tim’s colleague Tim Kopra.

But what emerged amongst the press reporting of this was the fact that The International Space Station has needed rather a lot of DIY during its lifetime! Since being put into orbit in 1998, there have been over 180 space walks to fix problems including an air leak, systems shutdown, broken solar panel and failed power unit.

As homeowners know only too well, there is a constant demand for upkeep and maintenance around the home, and DIY skills are continually being put to good use! But isn’t it good to be able to use these proactively as well as to sort out glitches?

Have you considered using your DIY skills to do something new and creative in your home rather than just fix things that have gone wrong? With DIY furniture you can organise and see through your own kitchen refurbishment or bedroom makeover.  No need to rely on – or pay for – tradesmen to do the work for you, YOU are Ground Control!

Be brave during 2016!  We’re not suggesting that you walk in space but do plan that long overdue kitchen refurbishment or bedroom makeover and get things moving!  Why not have a browse through our website to see some images of finished projects and also see our ranges of kitchen and bedroom DIY furniture.

All our products are excellent quality and easy to install.  You could be sitting in that new kitchen or bedroom within a few weeks – perhaps even before Major Tim returns to planet earth!
