My brother has joined him in the business now. “Caulking and paint make a carpenter what he ain’t.” -A gem courtesy of my brother Ryanįor the record, my dad is a contractor and I grew up with him doing building projects. It’s not perfect, but that’s what caulking is for… What’s great is that my next project will be better (and faster) because of what I learned. I learned to use a JobPlus to remove baseboard, cut and applied trim for the first time, and yes, I made mistakes. This project pushed my limits and taught me a lot. I’m pretty new to woodworking and home renovation. The laundry room wouldn’t have been a high priority for him so it was a good option for my first big solo project. His work is awesome when HE wants to do the project, but he doesn’t really put his heart into projects that don’t matter to him. I’ll give him a little grace because neither of us are super chipper after a few weeks of our entry room being a hot mess. And I am usually the one dealing with contractors when we hire tasks out. He generally doesn’t even return things that don’t fit or that break. Him: “If I’d hired someone to do this job, I would have asked for some of my money back.”įirst of all, he would not do that. Me: “If you’re going to say that, you might as well say it.” Me: “What do you think?” (referring to the absolutely stunning backsplash) I thought my husband would happily hand over the task he is ALWAYS complaining about working on his days off. Not only that, but I hope to inspire other women to learn to DIY… not to just marry a guy who is handy (although that’s certainly convenient). I wanted to learn the woodworking piece, I have more time than him, and I am better about taking video and photos for the blog. My husband has done a lot of our home renovation projects, but I’ve begun to take over. Let me explain our family situation a little because this might be funny to some of you. Here’s the outline if you want to skip my funny little story/history below… The room has been driving me CRAZY and it was high priority to be updated. It’s fairly small considering it has to function as a laundry/mudroom/pantry. It’s the first room that you enter when you come in the house from the garage.
