I've been living with damaged hardwood in the kitchen for two years...the shame...

I think we better stay away from each other to avoid affirmation of our negligence.

How about a new thread...DIY..stuff you never did

Projects that are optional (personal preference, like wainscoting instead of tile) rather than crucial. Those stress me out!

I hate any caulking where the neatness of the bead matters.

And any plumbing. With plumbing there always seems to be more problems there than you can see on the surface, and it always involves some cartridge or fitting or connector that isn't readily available anymore, meaning I lose use of the fixture for longer than I thought or have to replace more parts than I planned on to make it work. The stuff never seems to go smoothly.

I think Murphy (of Murphy's Law) may have been a plumber.
