Do a DIY home repair.

“The one that I've done a dozen times. Everything else takes way longer than it's supposed to. I dunno, maybe I just have bad DIY repair karma, or something. Something always goes wrong. For example, last month I replaced the springs and cartridges on my kitchen faucet last month. Every damn video shows them using an allen wrench to loosen the handle and then just easily pulling it off. I had to use a goddamn crowbar and a hammer (as a fulcrum) to literally pry it off, and it still took a good ten minutes at that point. And then it turned out the shutoff valve on the cold water supply line didn't quite shut off all the way. So I ended up fiddling with it for 20 minutes, trying to get the cartridge to remain fully seated until I got the retaining nut tightened down... which it simply would not. Finally I went down to the basement to turn off the whole house water shuttoff, went back upstairs, put it back together, went back down to the basement and turned the water back on.”

“For me, this was a 100-year-old house. I recently patched some small holes in the wall, and even after painting, it was pretty clear that the color and texture weren't a perfect match. This has been the case for a few DIY things so far. It clearly isn't done by a professional since I'm brand new to this. Against the rest of the house though, this just looked like one repair out of tons of others that were made throughout its existence. Here, the repairs add charm and character imo.”
