Always good when you can break out the tools.
There’s is nothing like a home repair done well to make you feel accomplished. Okay, there are lots of things that make you feel accomplished. However, since I am not a particularly handy man….or handy handyman…..whenever I get something done well and not half-assed duct tape MacGyver style well done, I feel really good.
Last night my parts from Amazon arrived and I could tackle the screen door. I really didn’t want to have to resort to Amazon. I wanted to visit my locally owned hardware store, but the truth of the matter is that they have all been forced to close. Also, I probably didn’t need to buy the whole set up, but that is what I could find online. Besides, the other one, while still functioning probably needed some TLC, rust removal and a new paint job.
The job itself was very easy, but I made sure to clean up and sand the area after filling in the old screw holes a few days ago. I really should have painted, but since the paint store is closed and the temperature is still not optimal, this will have to wait a month or more. I even read the instructions.
I got to break out my tools and apply some of my newly found patience. I feel good, and that’s what makes it Today’s Perfect Moment.
What DIY/home projects are you now tackling–assuming you have the time?
We’re cleaning up our yard and working on other home projects. We’re taking FULL advantage of our time off. Nice post, man… and I can’t believe they shut down the home improvement stores where you’re at! Ours are all open… that’s necessary infrastructure for keeping homes operational.
Well done! None of our home improvement or paint stores are open but this is a blessing in disguise. My beloved husband has many competencies but DIY is so not one of them. He therefore cannot be tempted…….
