It never ends, and it’s always something… but it’s the challenges that make life worth it. Right? This was said by someone who is rationalizing a mess. I find myself grateful for being a homeowner in the digital age. We have the internet which single handedly micromanages how we live our lives.

Most times, I learn the hard way and there has been a crushing cost that comes when things are beyond my realm of knowledge for repair, and it’s been annoyingly consistent. So, to find a way to do it myself is an incredible accomplishment. BUT. As much as this feeling of accomplishment is satisfying so is the reality of learning our first lesson; knowing your skills and, knowing when to wave the white flag and call your guy. I still cannot lift or install a hot water heater, and I’m fine with it
