Admittedly, yesterday's success was ultimately possible because I spent a little cash, but I think the sentiment was more about getting things done around the house.
I'm really not a handy fella... much to my chagrin. Though she doesn't mention it much, I'm sure she'd appreciate it if I would get off my derier and get some crap done. The fact is... we live in a nice house where.. if something gets broke... it stays broke for a long time... months, even years sometime.
I wish I were more handy... i'm just not. About two years ago, I tried to be. I got creative with a Sawzall and made a huge whole in my wall... without finishing the job. There was no trim, and generally, it looked like a half done job. But honestly... I was too ambitious with my skillset. I needed a pro.
So, I hired one while she was out to work. Not only did he do that, but I also had him install recessed lighting in the master bedroom, fix a broken fan, and caulk some things that needed some caulk...
Anyway, that's it. I told her that I hired the dude and she was happy. The lights look wonderful, and now I kind of look like I know what i'm doing, even though some other dude did it. I feel more like a man knowing that at least that part of my house/life isn't broken...
So, that was my sweet 100...
Always looking for more ideas...
