I remember the 1st time I tried to do home improvement and paint the interiors to my home myself! What a disaster and my wife took away my priviledges of “doing myself” ha ha

Thank goodness for the HGTV or home improvement channels to watch and try to learn even though it’s harder than the people on those channels make it look!

I learned much over the years. And I had my own database of knowledge to help me out as well.

I remember that painting project. I’m almost positive that there was no Do it yourself. com, back then. But I’m glad you learned from that.

“Wish me luck. Send cash.” Hilarious. You totally crack me up.

Your DIY project sounds like what mine would have been if I did any plumbing myself, since I have no clue what to do. My Dad and I see things like this. Me watching him type is like him watching me pound nails.

It is very good to be friends with a plumber.

Oh I need that site. Amy replaced my kitchen faucet. But I didn’t like the stuff in that hole in the sink part on the bottom of the sink. So a friend replaced those and used putty stuff. The next day I washed dishes and the whole hole in the sink came apart. So we had to replace pipes. Then the pipes fell apart. Then the plumber came.

Luckily the plumber had just married the friend of a woman I teach with so I didn’t have to pay a zillion dollars.

Next project is wallpaper and paint and floors upstairs in this 105 year old house. Wish me luck. Send cash.
