But where the shelves are actually stocked and where (in our closest one anyway) the staff are visible and actually know what they're talking about. Can't speak for other branches but the one at Burleigh is excellent, even if I do have to go by the sausage sizzle on the way for hubby or tiddler

If their busy maybe it means people are skint and are doing things themselves instead of getting tradies in. Just a thought.

Not in our house. I'm the one who does the projects. When we renovated our kitchen to sell our house it was me who installed the timber flooring, wall tiling and new counter tops. The OH did help with the heavy lifting, but otherwise it was my project. I've just been online to rent a brick saw for when I finish laying the driveway at our new build. (The man of the family will be working inside hanging electric fixtures etc)

To be fair, you both sound very similar. My wife can render, tile, pave etc, but she cannot use a hammer or screwdriver without creating more work for me to fix. She puts more work into the projects than myself because I have to work 5 1/2 days a week, and she has the time. But she should still be banned from Bunnings !!!!

I used to like going....dreaming of possible improvements/projects I could do and the tools that I could buy to do them!
Now, my wife comes .....we have just bought a property and she has already looked at timber for a three level deck, bathroom suites for the on suite I am going to build, and fencing for the garden!!!!!!!!!
The dream is now over.....every visit is now a nightmare........ I am going to have to start using the power tools it has taken me many years to collect.

On the other hand, she ordered about 10 tons of crushed rock for the garden 2 days before jetting off to Holland with the kids for a holiday, and left me the task of moving it with the wheelbarrow before our new lodgers in our unit arrive in a fortnight.

not to mention plastering, wallpapering, painting, mosaic walls etc etc

Its bloody dark out there now 
I just spent the last 4 hours breaking my back. Last Friday about 3 hours in between the showers, and i'm just over half way.
I must admit, going out all day last Sunday on the bike didnt speed matters up
