I've botched my share of DIY jobs, but this...this is really something.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeImprovemen ... urce=share

i could easily see myself f'ing up that badly...i wouldn't even try

I could definitely see myself fucking up the first couple of rows, getting mad and quitting. No way I'd get that far into it though.

I think it's time to build a small patio in my back yard. This project doesn't seem too challenging for my skill level. Anyone do anything similar to this recently? Ruddo?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I hung a pegboard in the garage yesterday. 1 hour project turned into 4 hours and 3 trips to the hardware store.

I’ll be tackling this in a few weeks

It was 100% worth it. I smile every time I walk past my perfectly organized garden tools.

Electrician here today. 10 can lights, new/relocated fixtures in kitchen and dining room, couple new receptacles so I can finally plug in my record player where I want it, dimmer switches everywhere.

He sounds like a giant rat crawling around the attic.

This was a bust. Apparently our ceilings and walls are made of some weird concrete board that dulled his blades and wrecked his drill. Round 2 next week.

Hung two more pegboards today. I won't stop until all of my earthly possessions hang from pegs.

What does it mean to wake up in the middle of the night and smell plastic? Not burning, more like a nail polish smell.

My wife smelled it too so I'm not having a stroke (or we're having a conjugal stroke)
