Efiwym, my wife and I have had conversations about getting rid of cable TV. As Efiwym sees the bills monthly, the idea of “cutting the cable” will be brought up.

The vanity faucet in the powder room was starting to show me it was time to replace it. The brushed nickel finish on the bottom edges were pitted and it was getting worse. The drain finish was also looking bad. There was really nothing I could do to repair it, so it was time to…

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…
