My husbands a contractor yet I do all the fixing around the house. While he went to visit his parents in Europe over Christmas, I repainted all the house, changed all the mouldings, install a dishwater in the kitchen, fixed the deck, and kept the car going. He comes home and complains that I did all the work because anyway he has to rebuild the house why did I spend all this time and money?

Life would have been easier. What does Brad Pitt really have to do except lie if front of a camera. Easy street from genetics.

Pretty good at it, skills developed from a lifetime of being too cheap to pay someone what seemed outrageous rates for something I could do myself

So true--plus you end up doing a better job and save money.

reply
David H... to Maxine 2012/05/11 06:40:58

Most of the time anyways. I can remember a few instances where my 'do it myself' thinking ended up costing me more than just having a 'pro' do it. But I always learn and if I ever have to do it again I wont make the same mistakes.

reply
Maxine to David H... 2012/05/12 01:17:32

Yes--I had a couple of those happen to me too. The washer came off of the hot water faucet in the bathroom and hot water went everywhere.

reply
David H... to Maxine 2012/05/12 03:12:48

Bummer! I hope nothing got water damaged in the learning experience

reply
Maxine to David H... 2012/05/13 02:40:04

Yes one of our other bathroom walls did--not the one i worked on. I had it taken out and the bathroom enlarged. bad wall gone and I now have a fairly large bathroom.
