Looking Through and Looking Back
In my fours years here, there have been several short threads dealing with stuff we do in the
home,yard, and Vehicles.
There are quite a few skilled and talented members here, so I am looking to see if there would
be interest in a new Forum called "Household Hints and Repairs". That way some of these things
we post here can stay in one catalog.
Please reply here. Thanks!

I think it is a great idea my friend. I know we have had some here that are fantastic as repair guru's.. etc..
Myself not so much, but I can do some carpentry, plumbing, roofing, painting and brick, block and rock mason work too!
As in my youth have worked with crews , doing all of those ...
Loved it, as it kept me in great shape- especially the hard and heavy lifting involved in mason work..--Tyr

Personally, I think this is a great idea!
I'm often doing little tidbits as a homeowner, and most of it wrong and a learning experience!! I can share, but may ask more questions than sharing!! Let's see how a few others may feel about this one...

I find that the less I show my wife just how handy I am, the more likely she is to hire someone to do the work for us...
Sadly, I think I have shown my skills to often over the years...

I've learned over the years to be QUITE handy! Little things I fix, and the tougher ones - I wait for the woman to go to work, then call in a pro and pay them to do it for me.
I've shown off my skills over the years too, and that's exactly why my wife doesn't get too angry with the spent money, as she knows the alternative.

If we add it, what shall we call it potentially that makes the most sense?
"Household Hints, Tips & Repairs"
"post your fixes and tips, ask for help..." sub header underneath?
Other ideas? Your suggestion on those 2 Elessar?

Well, here's an idea.
As you know, the Lady and I live in Florida. The house has a stucco finish and paint is required every couple of years (even tho we use a good paint). This time, we're giving an elastomeric paint a try.
We have to special order it as it's not a common use paint, but things are looking good so far.
Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
