Date: February 21st, 2018 12:03 PM Author: sickened selfie I'm not talking about redoing a bathroom or installing hardwood flooring or anything that's extremely labor intensive. I'm talking about shit like installing a dimmer switch, a ceiling fan, a new shower head, a new toilet, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3899426&forum_id=2#35452130) |

Date: February 21st, 2018 12:11 PM Author: sickened selfie exactly. The only stuff I won't do is install drywall (because it's a pain in the ass), install bricks/tiling (because I'm not skilled enough to make it look perfect), or wire a generator into my breaker (because I don't want the liability) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3899426&forum_id=2#35452197) |

Date: February 21st, 2018 12:22 PM Author: sickened selfie I'm referring to full walls & ceilings (like finishing a basement). Patches are simple. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3899426&forum_id=2#35452263) |

Although the hard part for me has been determining my limitations - I have a couple exterior doors that have been driving me insane trying to get them to open and close properly. Whenever I fuck with them they end up getting too tight or don't latch. Aside from that though I've rewired and replumbed bathrooms, done a ton of drywall and windows, etc. |
