When you’re working away and the dog decides to help. In actuality, someone set off some fireworks and #captainweenie came to me for reassurance. #poorguy #scaredycat #toomuchhelp #fireworkssuck #mypoordog #feelsobadforhim #diywithdogs #homeimprovementwithdogs #homeimprovement #diy #diydifficulties #moveyourbutt #dogsofinstagram #helperboy #dogsofdiy #trustyfurryassistant #finn #gsd #gsdofinstagram

Ah Finn, ever the helpful furry assistant. Why do dogs always lay on whatever project materials are on the floor? It’s like a magnet. #sofunny #goofydog #captainweirdo #finn #sewingproject #homedecor #helpfuldog #diydog #paperweightdog #holdthisplease #seeme #dogsareweird #gsd #gsdofinstagram

Normally I snap a photo of this tree every year in the park but this post-storm collection of fallen petals caught my attention this year. Saw this after hearing about the loss of a supremely incredible person I worked with. It seemed fitting, both sad, of loss, yet of a beautiful life at the same time. #nofilterneeded #pensivemood #beautifultree #springawakening #humboldtparkchicago #thingsyouseewalkingthedog #flowerpetals #hotpink #afewtears #sadheart #lifesometimes

It’s always amazing how #instagram can make a mundane, boring, not pretty image kinda interesting. Anyway, #captainright er the #plumber comes back by sometime this evening to #fixthis but no doubt #notwithoutafight first. Really looking forward to that. #sarcasmfont #notexcited #luckyme “Who’s the plumber here, me or you? It’s perfect!” #poorchoiceofwords #dontgothere #lippy #jerk #ugh #thisiswhyidiy #smh #diywoes #homeimprovement #letswrapthisup

I’m not crazy, right? About this anyway. Right? My tile is 1/4” thick...I’m not putting 3/4” thick layer of mortar on to get the mixer flush with the wall, right? Plumber says it’s perfect and I’m wrong. #help #plumber #plumbinghelp #crowdsourcehelp #plumbing #imnotcrazy

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 #menardsmoment #savebigmoneyatmenards

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!
