Plumber, Tiler and Raising the Kids
Plumber, tiling, clogged drains and raising the kids.
Is that what my life boils down to?
I went to college thinking I’ll make lots of money and hire someone to do home improvements and home repair when I’m older, but I have come to find great joy in doing some of the work around the house!
You may have read my articles on “killing your carpet”. Carpets are really bad for your health. When they are new the chemical off-gassing is enough to fry your brain, but over time they collect ever germ, dust ball, food spill in your house.
I ripped out every carpet in my house and installed tile and wood flooring. My allergies and chemical sensitivities improved more than they’ve ever improved in my life!
So last month, I moved to a few house and ripped all the carpets out. This time I decided I was going to learn how to tile. It was hard work but not that difficult to learn. The best part is that I get constant gratification walking on these floors, knowing I took part in the creation. So be it tiling or a plumbing repair job, take heart, you can learn new skills! Here’s another one of my favorite websites for home repair. http://www.louisvilleplumbingandheating.com/
