MOST important lesson I learned was NEVER start a project without proper tools.

Lol. As the famous saying goes - if your only tool is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail.

I'll browse through my photo collection to see if I have some (this is my Toronto house which is rented right now).

MOST important lesson I learned was NEVER start a project without proper tools. I had to make lots of Home Depot trips which slowed down the progress.

Secondly, nail gun comes real handy when you are building something permanent. It sped up my work

Same with me, I had to visit Home Depot to buy some tools after realizing the need in the middle of something of that back splash project and that is why it took me whole weekend to complete my project.

Let me ask you "handymen" a serious question: what if there is a non-handymany who wants to jump in and wana start doing things on his own, wuts yr suggestion on where to start and how to start??

You do not have to be handyman , you have to be practical man/woman.( do not want to start another equality fight)

@Mirch, @**DECENT**6chora and all

I think it would be a great idea if we can start threads about the specific DIY projects that you guys worked on. For instance, I would love to know more about the backsplash project of Mirch

Great idea. Will do.

Since this house we bought is smaller than our previous house we did not have enough hanging rods to accommodate all the clothes we have, so I had to add one in our laundry room and one more in our master bedroom closet.
Now I am hero of my wife one more time.
Another project is to hide all the wiring of my wall mounted TV and related gadgets.
Since I have all of this week off to use my unused vacation time I would start and finish some of the projects still on my list.

Another project is to hide all the wiring of my wall mounted TV and related gadgets.

That reminded me of my mini project to hook up my home theater system, and running the wires from the front of the room to the back for the surround sound speakers. At the end, running the wires through the room’s perimeter, under the carpet, along the baseboards was not as difficult as I thought it would be.

My media room is pre-wired no issues there but I have put up a wall mounted TV in living room therefore I need to hide all those ugly wire. Once done I will post before and after photos.
