Ever Start a Home Repair and then Regret It?  

I sure did.

I decided to change the kitchen faucets one day because the old ones were leaking and it turned into the job from Hell.

The old stuff had been on their so long, they were almost cememned together.

On top of it all, I did not have the proper tools.

I have learned that very often, starting a small home repair leads to much larger things.

Last year, I decided to replace the faucet valve in our tub / shower. One week later, I finally finished this "small project" which had resulted in totally gutting the bathroom, moving the toilet, tub / shower, and sink to other locations, removing a window and replacing with another, putting in a vent fan and new lights, and tiling the whole mess.

Beware the small home repair!!

It is just like a man to believe that in order for the dirt, which I would like to point out to you was post door installation, to be gotten out properly one needs to use a screwdriver and dismantle something when a simple scrub brush or toothbrush would have removed the dirt to your wife's delight. Look harder for the easy way there usually is one when your talking about dismantling something as opposed to just scrubbing it.

i dont do anything to our house except to sweep the floor and dust furnitures... but my MOM loves renovating the house, she would change the position of the fixture every other 2weeks!! and she loves doing it... dont know why... she just does

We decided to do some spring cleaning this weekend. We wanted to rearrange the kitchen cupboards. We took everything out and washed the cupboards,then the rearranging. I hate it. Theres more chaos in my kitchen now than there was before. And it took a lot longer than we expected. There are still things without a place.

LOL. I am not mechanically inclined so all I do is minor repairs around the house. My wife has been nagging at me to remove the old moldy caulking around the tub enclosure for months. I did one edge so far as I ran out of new caulk. I'm so lazy I have yet to buy anymore. LOL.

HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!

Yes, we women are different! We can spot a speck of dirt across the room. I have the perfect solution to your "problem". Lose the shower door & replace with a shower curtain. When it gets dirty, replace it or clean in the washing machine & believe it or not you can put them in the dryer for a short time. Presto! clean!!
REMEMBER: if mama ain't happy no ones happy.

Yes I think men and women are different.I do cleaning almost two weeks.

My husband decided it would be good to mend the leaking shower. So about 6 months ago he removed the tiles that were leaking and cleaned the adhesive of them all and prepared everything ready. He still hasn't stuck them back again. I would have thought that putting them back would have been easier than taking them down myself.

It was an urgent job as the water was dripping through the ceiling below. We have 2 showers so i expect that the job will not be finished until the other one starts to leak ad needs repairing....

I've never started a home repair and didn't finish it. But growing up, I saw my dad do that a couple times. Where he lives now, he decided to put in a whirlpool tub for my mom because she has fibromyalgia and arthritis. That was 4 years ago. Now I grant you, the tub is IN, but we currently have a plastic bag around where the faucet is supposed to be. He just has never got around to finishing it, or having someone else finish. Luckily, their house has TWO bathrooms. : )
