Extreme Makeover: The Kyle Hill House Edition

Ok, so I have been doing some home improvement projects, inspired by Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Tool Time, and the Lowe's and Home Depot commercials I've been seeing. Needless to say Kyle's house (my current home as well) could use a bit of a face life. As I am going through the color schemes at Home Depot the color "Beach Sand" catches my eye. I thought to myself, "since the carpet is blue I could paint the walls this beach sand color and create a beach ambiance. I bought a small can to test it out on a wall, some rollers and brushes, put on my painting clothes and went to town on the wall. The color turned out great! I'm not gonna lie I was pretty impressed with myself. I finished one room and then did another cuz I was feeling very ambitious. The next thing I know the sink faucet is shooting water OVER the sink instead of IN the sink. It was too hard to clean off the hard water build-up around the faucet so I was back at Home Depot looking for sink fixtures. The hard part was removing the old faucet! We shut off the water in the house and climbed under the sink to remove the screws that attached the faucet. They were corroded stiff but after a long battle and a few wrenches later I got the faucet off; however, water started shooting out everywhere and all over me! I yell at Beej, "I thought you turned the water off!" he said he did and told me to just plug the holes with my finger while he puts in the new faucet. We got the faucet in, turned the water back on, twisted the faucet knob and Wala! water flowing like rain from above! Slowly but surely this house is becoming a home! Now move that bus!! That's when everyone gets all teary-eyed.

My conclusion to this is that home improvement projects can be fun and they teach me skills like team work and problem solving; just like college! I'm jus sayin'!
