I'm thinking I should start a Web site called "last10percent" where guys can trade off on the last 10 percent of their projects. When you're just doing the grout on someone else's tile job - no big deal. After all, you've made the million trips to the hardware store, pulled the old floor up, laid the new subfloor, put on the leveling compound, set the tile - by this time you're sick of the project. I've found that trading the last 10 percent of big jobs with friends works really well and makes the wife happy.

I know you're in the UK. I'm also an optimist and think cardboard templates sent in the mail might actually work. In the real world, you kind of need to have the car.

Sorry to hear about your cat. I had to take my 16 year old cat in not long ago.
