I'm so proud of me, I like to do home repairs... yesterday & today I worked on these steps! The steps were rotten in places, so I replaced them. Tearing the old boards off was the hard part. (they're not crooked, I just can't take a straight picture.

)
People are always shocked when they learn it is me who does alot of this stuff around the house and not "the husband"!

He hates doing stuff like this and would sooner hire someone! Where I'm the thrifty one who likes to save money and also feels pride when a job is completed.

Why, I own a Craftsman drill I picked out myself and I love it. LOL!
Thats my Abbie supervising the work in the "before" pic.
