Let the madness begin!

Hello! First of all, let me say thank you for reading my blog. I know you got lots of other things you can do with your time, and I appreciate you spending some of it with me. I am so excited. Out of all the blogs, you chose mine. It is kind of like going back to high school and getting to be popular. Or not. Either way, I am glad you decided to stop by.

You must be wondering what makes me a mad DIYer? Well, it all started with a leaky water heater. No, I did not fix the water heater, but the water heater did mess up the carpet. No, I did not install new carpet, but the new carpet is next to the hallway bath, in there I did a lot! What does the hallway bath have to do with the water heater? Other than warm showers, not much. But getting the water heater replaced was the catalyst for fixing all sorts of stuff around the house. And since I spent most of the money on the water heater (and a new kitchen but that is a different post), the only way the hallway bath was gonna get done was if I did it myself. And now that that is done, i am working on my master bath.

So why the need to blog about it? For one, I hope sharing my experiences and successes (and failures too) will help inspire others to DIY. It is immensely satisfying to bring your vision to reality using your own two hands. And I would love to share what I have learned with others and hear great tips, so I can learn more too. Plus I have taken to carrying photos of my work like they were my children, showing them to any random stranger I can find. And where better to find random strangers than the internet. (But I hope we won't be random strangers for long.)

Speaking of pictures, I will be posting some soon, of my past projects and the current one, my master bath. The bath is small but my plans are big. Have I bitten off more than I can chew? Oh I hope so. Let the madness begin.
