Minor home repairs

[mtbc]

My previous experience with do-it-yourself is rather modest. I might do a little regrouting of tiles, filling and repainting minor damage to interior walls, a bit of drilling to route cables or reposition latches or whatever, but not much. Now that it is R. and I together then, between us, recent jobs have included replacing a failed ceiling light fixture and a broken front door lock. Money is tight so every saving on tradespeople is welcome and, with R.'s help and encouragement, it is good to feel able to do more simple jobs around the home.

That is cool.

I will admit that I'm mediocre at repairs myself, but Pat has always been handy with tools. It makes a huge difference.

And YouTube is definitely your friend!

It really does feel good to be able to do things you didn't think you could. Once you start, you just keep going. lol
