I hope you got to the point where when he approached your completed handy work you just snarled at him "if you are not here to compliment me on a job well done, then be quiet & go away" Karms!
Or.. when he said his smarty arsed comment you just replied with a big fat "eff off"
Thing about my Dad is.. not only is he not always (in fact, rarely) right with the advice he gives.. if I do let him in to a project, within ten minutes he will have totally changed the bloody project.
Like when I wanted to sort my garden out.. a few years ago, when I had zilch gardening experience. At the time I said I didn't want to do anything with the lawn.. I wanted to sort everything else out first.. 2 days later my dad had decided that the lawn was the main project! I laughed it off altogether then for another year.. then I did what I am gonna do now with the bathroom.. I began the project in secret.. I ignored ALL advice given & learned by my own mistakes. I broke all the rules.. and found out that some of the rules were a load of old bollocks..
The girl & I are determined.. WE are gonna do the bathroom
(the girl has more experience than me.. she did her 2 weeks work experience with a property developer.. & has laid laminate & tiled walls )
& just in case anyone was wondering. MrD is shit at stuff like this. He thinks he's good at it... but he is shit. He even balls up putting together a flat back chest of drawers!
