desertskyz Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Until now some of the home repairs I ventured into came out like Cause my ex wouldn't do chit. Since I now own my own home and live alone, except for my 2 large dogs that are the cause of some damage, I am again forced to do home repairs myself . I recently had to repair and large hole in my wall due to the previous owners putting a dog door in the side of the wall. I did a lot of web searching trying to find some help. I finally found http://www.bobvila.com/ There are loads of instructional videos on How To....... what ever you need to do. It is the best web site I have ever been to, besides It was great and FREE. I fixed the hole and Damn! I did a good job. I did have basic knowledge and tools on how to Get 'er done, but this web site made things very clear. It has even shown me how to fix the outside of the wall too. Thank goodness that part is in a shed type enclosure so I haven't started that yet. So ladies, if you are like me, or have a partner who would rather watch TV then take care of simple home repairs this web site is for you. I need go buy a construction belt so I'll look cool too. :hungry: Oh! Oh! Oh! and a hard hat, yeah thats what I'm talkin' about.

desertskyz Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'll be nice and not say anything!!! WHAT! No way! Tiff. something is wrong with wingy. Your just mad cause you can't do it! j/k You should be proud of me. Most chicks wouldn't even think of pulling something of like this. They would just called someone and pay to have it done. Danny would have done it, but he would have just come in, take over, and I wouldn't have learned chit. So I did it my self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have taken some at the beginning of the project. Now, it's just a flat wall. Not to exciting. Since I do it all of the time any catch chit about it............ ummmmm. check your signature.
