I too would be very interested in getting some pointers. I plan on redo-ing my bathroom and i have no experience whatsoever.

Antiques.

What are some other easy DIY stuff that can make your home nicer? Ive got a jones to do some work today.

Awesome, Charlie already has more drills than I do. Here is a pic of the guy that helps me with my projects:

How much did that run you?

Ok, got a good start on the house yesterday. 1) Weeded my front yard (which is about 10 feet by 8 feet ) and planted this years pepper garden. 2) Fixed the fridge, i think. Pulled it away from the wall and noticed a loose connection of one of the pipes behind it. Tightened that. Realized that i hadnt cleaned under my fridge since i bought my house. :puke: Needed a putty knife to get all the crap off the floor. Will monitor to make sure the leak doesnt come back. 3) Bleachified and scrubbed the mold off the wall in my upstairs bathroom. Worked pretty well. Going to have to paint that room. 4) Started to patch a hole in my ceilling in my downstairs hallways. About a month ago, the toilet in my upstairs bathroom was leaking onto the ceiling of my downstairs hallway. I fixed the toilet a month ago by replacing the wax ring and i had a plumber replace some piping. However, enough water had leaked to create a little damage, a hole about the size of 2 quarters side-by-side. I bought a self-adhesive mesh drywall patch and stuck it up there and spackled it. Need to sand it and re-spackle it 3 or 4 times. Going to have to paint that whole room too. 5) Picked out a new front door. Mines just old, time to replace it. Thought doors would be like $500-$800. Pleasently surprised to find they are like $250 and less. Still have about 10 things on my list. So I will continue to bump this thread periodically. Wondering if i should start another thread so this one can be for advise and the other one can be to show off your DIY prowess, because some of you guys are really good. :applause:

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I am going to try everything on Tuesday and report back here.

Damn Zoony. :notworthy:

Uh, how? Um, water is escaping from it. Not sure what you mean by "how?" Conveyed with the house, so i dont know. Probably 10 years or so. No. How do i go about doing that?

Its just spots. Bleach will work.

OK, this spring I plan on doing some serious fixing up of the homestead. Im pretty handy, but i dont have any specific training in most of the things I want to get done, besides painting. I know lots of people on ES either do this stuff for a living or have experience fixing up their own homes. Feel free to ask for advice in this thread. My first project: Fixing a leaky fridge. For some reason, about once a week, i find a puddle around my fridge. Anyone know what the deal is and how to fix it? Preferably without buying a new fridge. Also, I have some mold on the wall in my upstairs bathroom. What should I use to clean this off?

Try Sodom and Gahmorrah's on M street. Also from Sunnystones "boy i ****ed up" thread.

No comment. :no: Im a vegan thread.

I cant believe Rush lost to Serra. Wow, talk about an upset. I dont know the order of events to come in that class, but Serra wont have the belt for very long. This was the least exciting PPV that the UFC has done, ever.

Is UFC 68 on the internets yet? I cant find it.

I love this thread! :laugh:
