Home repairs



<--- With buying our own place, especially one of the older, non-cookie-cutter variety, there comes some special challanges. For instance, when your friends are over helping you clean and paint before moving in, one of the more helpful lads might volunteer, "Do you want me to take off your kitchen cupboard doors? They'll be a lot easier to paint that way." You might think this is a bad idea, but your wife might really be enamoured at the idea of newly painted cupboard doors. You would, of course, give in to this desire, and probably wouldn't say "I told you so" when you do not have cupboard doors for the next 9 months. You'd probably even hire your brother to take a drill to them on a January holiday at which point you would discover that each of the doors is custom build. While you may enjoy solving puzzles, and your wife might have recently gotten addicted to Sudoku, you might also have planned to use your day off to take care of the approximate 7 trillion projects you have going. You might also get most of the way through before discovering that you don't have enough screws, but still, you'd be glad to at least have half your cupboard doors up. Oh, and another friend might give you a new fridge free too! (leading to your blog post picture of the cupboard dooring event to showcase some of the extra food as it was transitioned from one fridge to another).
