I’m so glad you feel the same as I do….every DIY project I do is… oh, so, NOT perfect. But for some reason I always try to achieve perfection. Making it very difficult to enjoy the project and the end result, cuz it’s never perfect enough to be finished. It’s a vicious cycle.

Thank goodness, my family thinks it’s perfect enough.

Any ideas on molding for a front door that has none? I’m trying to give my curb appeal a face lift. I need help.

I loved the last video! That was great- I found myself swaying with the camera/bird house…so I could keep from getting loopy!

I so appreciate your candor and your willingness to show us just ‘how simple’ making repairs and maintaining our homes really is; even if you’re not a video pro!

thanks.
