If only I weren't so cheap....

... I'd just pay someone to do this for me.

I began a new home improvement project yesterday. A partial kitchen remodel. The crummy old flooring is gone along with some other unsightly features. It's a rather involved project, given my limited skill set with general contracting work.

I'm documenting it all on video though, so when the job is finished be sure and watch for it. I promise it won't be as tacky as "Extreme Makeover" or as boring as "This Old House."

Really... I'm wearing bedroom slippers on a nail-covered floor. Something good is bound to happen. Stay tuned!

Good luck. Right now, I don't even recognize that kitchen.

Saving money is good when you own a house, but a tetanus shot at the ER may balance out the savings. Don't be like some people I know, get worn out on the demolition and leave it that way for a couple months.

Good luck! Can't wait to see the finished project. And then maybe we'll hire you to do ours!
