Evenin Woods, I’ve taken Mick’s advice and approached my home improvement tasks one step at a time. Three weeks later, I can see the light ar the end of the tunnel. The kitchen backsplash tile work is done ( awaiting grout). The patio door is stained and sealed with polyurethane. I can now begin to remove the deck off the back of the house in preparation for installing the patio door. I’m working outside my comfort zone, I would much rather do a brake job or change a transmission but I’m managing to struggle by.
You go, Chuck!

When my counter top was being installed, they told my they install the sink, but not the plumbing.
When I asked why, I was told- "We're not licensed plumbers."
I told them I wasn't either but had been doing it for 30 years!

been there done that, Trish ordered quartz counter tops ,the contractor installed them and the sink. I had to mount the disposal and re-do all the plumbing to accommodate the new configuration.

I hear that Greg. I've never hired anyone to work on my house. But mostly that's because I couldn't afford it. Now when we have the kitchen done most of that will be hired out.

We've hired a few things out, like the addition, and a few others, but I do a lot around here.
In fact, a project I loathe has reared its ugly head- replacing a fence post that is in a real tight spot. Gonna be a bitch and a half.

Evening gents! The concours was pretty awesome. Some amazing cars. It was too crowded to take pics but holy cow, vintage Ferraris, Cobras, Jags......the list goes on. They had one of 2 made Ferrari F40 Competizione Le Mans race cars there. Estimated worth near 20 million. My favorite was a D type Lemans Jag. Also saw the new Ford GT at 1.1 million. Nice car. But not 1.1 mil nice.

Agreed. At least it's a proper V8. I'll take one in Gulf livery please.
