I went back to the home improvement store, where I could save big money, to return the adhesive and get the right one that I found on their website. Also, Efiwym, my wife, suggested I get a new dryer vent. The store had the exact same dryer vent we had before. I headed home with…

The next morning, I knew I was not as far along on this project as I wanted to be, but I still had plenty of time to wrap it up. The mold issue seemed to be resolved, but I needed to find out where the water was coming from when I put the laundry tub…

When I replaced the flooring many years ago, I put in a drain. It was a drain that was not plumbed. It was basically a hole in the floor with a floor drain cover under the laundry tub cabinet. It was designed to have any overflow of the washer or laundry tub to go into…

After Efiwym, my wife, finished with Thursday’s wash, the time clock was set to get the flooring done in the laundry room. I had until Tuesday morning to complete the project. I had a good three days to finish, so I thought I could easily get it done. The first thing that needed to be…

Efiwym, my wife, had been pressuring me to replace the fluorescent under cabinet light by the desk in the dinette. It was difficult to turn it on. Hence, we did not use it much. The under-cabinet light was one of the projects I wanted to tackle when we first bought the house. I am not…

The following morning, I headed out to get the kitchen faucet. I had a list of items that I needed. The faucet, (obviously), the air gap cover, 2 new hoses to connect to the water supply, a tube of silicone and a work light. I was tired of using my phone as a flashlight. When…

Efiwym, my wife, and I discussed getting new countertops in the kitchen. I even got pricing from the place where you can save big money, but it never materialized. We decided it would be best to spend the money now to fix a clogged drain tile, install a new stamped concrete patio and regrade the…

I think of the times I have used my Craftsman® screwdrivers for other purposes besides screwing things. I used both the flat head and the Phillips head screwdrivers when I was too lazy to get the right tool. Or I would use the screwdriver for something else, because I viewed a video that showed that…
