Awwwwww yeah baby! Loving everything about this not-interesting snapshot! My sweet took two days off work. He helped me pick up five sheets of #cementboard for the #unintendedproject. That lil’ #egolf of his got us to #Menards #gasfree AND everything fit with no problem! #happyday #awesomesauce #dayoff #helpinghand #thanksbabe #progress #naptime #provedhisworth #keeper Come check out @flakybakers to see what I baked him for his generosity. #govw #ilovevolkswagen #diyforlife #diyer #homeimprovement

Over #ontheblog today, I made some wacky #wallart using some cool materials, 15 bucks and 15 minutes spent. Is it done? I dunno. Seems it’s missing something. Come on by and take a look! Plus, a great tip for sealing up rebar! #linkinbio #ilovefelt #diy #artsandcrafts #rebar #steel #homedecor #diydecor #diyhomedecor #coolfinds #diyblogger #homesweethome #diyer

Oh, Craigslist, you crazy cat, striking again! I gotta stay off that site. Lookie!! Free!! Isn’t it awesome?! It’s freakin’ huge and as if never used! And no, I have no idea where it’s going but I had to have it. #shrug #interiordesign #homedecor #freeisgood #craigslistfind #cb2 #iwin #thisisawesome #badphotosinsidemytrunk #tooexcited #loveit #yellowismyfavoritecolor #happiness

No doubt you can’t read this here so swing on by the blog for a fresh new post! It’s a new segment entitled “What I Learned” and it’s all about stencil painting a ceramic tile floor! And how some people should never do tiling. #linkinbio #newblogpost #interiordesign #interiordecor #stencil #stenciledfloor #painting #diy #homeimprovement #tilingblind #tilefloor #paintedfloor #lessonslearned #whatilearned #ouch #dogfur #whatswrongwiththispicture #wowthatsbad #diywoes #funnynotfunny #ididit #sanityisoverrated

One #leak found. Are there more? I dunno. What I do know is that #plumbing is best left to #trainedandlicensed actual #plumbers not hacks or people who say they can do plumbing. The damage these idiots can cause is #astronomical. So please, just spring for the cost of a real #plumber and save yourself thousands in damage. Mmk?
