Nailed It!
A hilarious celebration of DIY disasters, domestic chaos, and the triumph of optimism over common sense.
Meet Ted Hill husband, hopeful handyman, and master of magnificent misadventures. Whether he’s rewiring the fuse box, battling a rebellious wallpaper, or turning a simple car repair into a full scale epic, Ted’s world proves one thing: if something can go wrong, it probably will and he’ll write about it afterwards.
With unshakable confidence, a loyal cat named Lucy, and the eternally patient Maggie by his side, Ted transforms everyday household catastrophes into laugh-out-loud tales of resilience and love. From the Luton living room to the B&Q aisles, his adventures capture the uniquely British spirit of “have a go,” even when the Allen key says otherwise.
Perfect for fans of James May, David Mitchell, and Tom Allen this warm, witty memoir turns the frustrations of DIY, motoring mishaps, and family life into pure comedy gold.
Inside you’ll find:
- Hysterical real life tales of DIY gone wrong and occasionally right
- Endearing reflections on marriage, optimism, and stubborn determination
- Classic British humour that finds light in life’s little disasters
