I love tackling DIY property improvement projects… Over the years, I have accumulated a fairly impressive collection of pools.
I own everything from a split saw, miter saw and circular saw to a cordless drill and nail gun.
I’ve learned how to substitute windows, hang drywall, split trim boards, hang a door and install light fixtures and power outlets. I have no problem gutting a room down to the bare studs, updating the wiring, adding insulation and finishing the walls and ceilings. I love refinishing hardwood floors, building shelves and painting, the only projects I avoid are anything to do with plumbing. I have had entirely little success and a lot of frustration in my every attempt to substitute, service or substitute the plumbing, however at one time, I bought a brand new, touchless family room sink faucet. I watched videos on how to install it and the process seemed quite straight-forward, however, I couldn’t remove the outdated faucet; Everything was totally rusted. I bought special tools and still could not manage it. It was impossible to get any leverage in my awkward position under the sink. I eventually had no choice but to hire a licensed plumber and spend a small luck on a job I should have been able to handle myself. When there was a leaky pipe under the lavatory sink, I maintained it for hours. I was not capable of stopping the leak. I once again called a licensed plumber to complete the job. Because everything plumbing related is so potentially damaging, I would rather spend my money more and have the job done right. Even a minor leak can add up to major waste and expense.
