I disagree with all these statements. While those things are certainly hard to do, with enough research and preparation, they are certainly within the scope of a good do-it-yourselfer.

This is pretty much the easiest DIY job with the biggest return. Throw a harness on.

Agreed! Yet the shows are fun to watch and give me tons of ideas. I do my own renovations and don’t spend near the amount of money spent on these shows! I also had renovations done by a contractor and it wasn’t cheap, but I was very involved and love the results. I don’t think it’s true that we hate the shows. They’re…

You are watching home renovation shows and daydreaming about renovating your own home.

After checking into how much a new one would cost, I used one of the refinishing kits on the old 1980's faux marble countertop and integral sinks in our master bathroom. The results were very good. I got a medium tan stone finish, and three years later it still looks about the same. As you mentioned, it requires a bit…

Found the guy fucking with Korey’s car.

Somebody in Philadelphia has a problem with the color orange? I know a guy.

Every Sunday, I wage a war on my fitted sheet as I attempt to put it on my mattress, struggling to fit it around one corner as it pops off another.

Correction, you must have missed the bright yellow button that allows you to "ADD TO CAR".

Are you allowed to repair one of those yourself?
