Mark Carroll's Journal

My previous experience with do-it-yourself is rather modest. I might do a little regrouting of tiles, filling and repainting minor damage to interior walls, a bit of drilling to route cables or reposition latches or whatever, but not much. Now that it is R. and I together then, between us, recent jobs have included replacing a failed ceiling light fixture and a broken front door lock. Money is tight so every saving on tradespeople is welcome and, with R.'s help and encouragement, it is good to feel able to do more simple jobs around the home.
