I hear ya! Not a great caulker myself

Looks so simple when I see others do it, but I always end up with too much in some places & thin spots in other places, then I try to smooth it with a wet finger & make a bigger mess.

My DH has re-plastered all the walls, refinished the hardwood floors, on his hands and knees, and had done everything else except the bathrooms and kitchen. Those were done on a time table and even though he did do all the work, he did some of it. So...this could be called the house that Tom rebuilt. I have helped out as well. Hanging wall paper, painting trim on the 2nd floor, tearing out carpet, and oh yes, I designed everything that was done, including the kitchen and bathrooms. AND, you know you've done a good job when the contractor stands back when it's all done and smiles really big and tells you, "This is really something. Nothing we've ever done before and wasn't sure how it would come out but it really is great!"
What would you like to know? |
Huge Victorian...sounds lovely!
You totally lost me with the "done on a time table". What's that mean?
All my weekend projects are going on 2-3 years...isn't that normal?
