Your never going to believe what my wife came up with this weekend. Were sitting quietly watching television and out of the blue she tells me she wants new kitchen cabinets. ARRRR I hate remodeling and dread the idea of replacing my kitchen cabinets or refinishing the existing ones. However, being the sweet husband that I am I told her we’d go looking and see what was available at Lowe’s and Menards. I was quite surprised and the look of the modern kitchen cabinets that are available these days and couldn’t get over how many different choices there were to choose from. This browsing through the kitchen cabinets department of the store actually got me to agree with my wife and we decided to purchase a new set of cabinets. Now i’m not much for paying someone else to do simple carpentry and other household repairs so I decided I would install them myself. They should be arriving at the house this week and guess what I’ll be doing all weekend, yep ripping out kitchen cabinets and replacing them. Oh Joy this should definitely be a test for our marriage. I just know the next thing she’ll want to do is replace the kitchen tile and repaint the kitchen walls, sigh. What did I get myself into!!!

April 24, 2008Now that the weather is getting nice its time to start tackeling those home repairs you put off all winter. Maybe its a leaky faucet or running toilet. Perhaps you have some cupboard doors that are having problems staying closed. For me the big summer project will be installing a new patio door. This is going to be a huge project fro me but we’ve been wanting one added for years. The down side is once I get that done, I’ll have to build a back patio or deck to go with it. I’m not a carpenter and dont keep tons of tools around so I did some research on what I’ll need to have on hand. Since I probably wont use some of these tools ever again I decided to buy used power tools instead of buying brand new ones. There isnt any since spending tons of money on new tools when there are plenty of people selling used or reconditioned tools online. Heck maybe I can even find a used patio door.
