5. Tearing out your old kitchen cupboards.

You'd be amazed how much aggression you can work off doing that.

8. Working out aggression doesn't sound tedious to me

sounds kinda fun, actually.

19. How about PAINTING the INSIDE of the kitchen cupboards?

I have that joyous task to look forward to soon.

7. Replacing the on off switch for a light

I just learned to do it last year and its kinda scary even though it isn't really that hard and should only take a few minutes.

10. Spent all day re-doing my $7.00 dollar chairs...

I bought two old swivel/rocking chairs for my patio at the Goodwill thrift store at $7.00 each. I spent $125.00 for material, and today I spent all day finishing my first chair. The style of the chairs is a little older and I updated the look to match the Mediterranean look of my enclosed patio. I love this room, and I love the hard work and watching how the room comes together for my family's enjoyment.

11. Tomorrow...

I have to build a new pen for my guineas (the one I built last week is too small), replace the bathroom spout, and figure out why my AC in my car isn't working. Oh, and I have some bills to pay. NOT a fun day.

12. Disconnecting my washing machine

moving it out from the wall - water mess everywhere - so I can clean out the sediment that gets on the screen where the cold water goes into the machine.
Big mess!

13. Wallpaper removal with a putty knife and warm water.

[Ellen Forradalom]

14. You win.

I did that this summer. Phoo! Thank God that room is replastered!

[Mizmoon]

15. The only people who put up wallpaper

are those who have never had to take it down.

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. Nowadays the adhesives are easier to remove

But in the old days--man oh man.

16. plaining doors

after awhile I just want to take the circular saw to the sucker and take 2" off of it. I have a door that I swear I have taken two doors worth of wood out of

20. Fixing the holes my parrot chews in walls.

She's too intelligent to keep locked up, but when she is out of her cage and unsupervised she can be very destructive.

Let this be a warning to anyone who thinks they might want a parrot.

21. Reglazing windows,

wish I was better at it.
