And then you get slow and sloppy and distracted.

You’ll realize that you’re saving a ton by not heating all that extra space for no reason!I’ll definitely be keeping all of my closet doors closed this Winter.OK, so you know how much I love DIY.

And you know how much I love to encourage and empower people to try things out for themselves and expand their home improvement capabilities.I definitely go all “DIY cheerleader” on you around here from time to time.Sometimes though, you really need to know your comfort level and where your limitations are.

Like with electrical work!Sure, changing out a basic light fixture is really simple and a great DIY if you follow safety procedures, but let’s not all go trying to re-wire our entire homes without a little help.. Not only will you probably end up making a mess of it, a big job like that can be downright dangerous!

Plus, I just like you so much when you’re alive and breathing.

We’ve done some simple electrical work around here like changing out some light fixtures..There’s just a whole lot of ugly going on in terms of old finishes, damaged walls and floors, half started projects and things that just need love.

The fact is though, when you’re renovating, you’re going to have to live with all kinds of ugly when you run out of time to get something done right away.If you learn which state of ugly you’re most comfortable with, you can plan a little bit for where you can stop and take a brake without losing your mind and feeling like you need to give up sleeping to get a project done.

I’ve discovered that I’m really comfortable with walls ripped back to the bare studs, or even just plain drywall and plywood floors.Some might find that they can live with the old ugly finishes for a long time as long as a space feels “done”.
