After a bit of downtime on our home improvement, I figured tonight was a good time to continue work on our bathroom project. In particular, we need to paint the ceiling. I prepped the area, then went to the garage to get the big bucket o' paint. I picked it up, and realized that there was a leak and that goopy white paint was now on my concrete garage floor. Thanks a lot, Home Depot.
Undeterred, I figured that, instead of painting, I would continue removing the trim from the baseboard. I went to go pry off a small piece in the corner, and in all the pulling, twisting, and bending, my 3" putty knife--probably my second-favorite home improvement tool behind my 1.5" putty knife--snapped in half.*
*Yes, not only do I have a favorite home improvement tool, but a top 5 list regarding same. The order: 5. Lineman's pliers, 4. Rotary sander, 3. Circular saw, 2. See above, 1. Ditto. I love me a good putty knife. I can't believe I'm actually saying (writing?) this out loud.
To top it all off, as I write this Kendra is outside trying to fix a leaking hose in our hand-pump sprayer-thingy to spray the weeds in our gravel driveway and patio. This is one of those days when I think I should rename the blog, "F*ck This Old House." Cocktail, anyone?

Is it wrong for me to want to "like" this post? I often feel the same way about my plce...and I don't even do home improvement projects.
Great post i must say and thanks for the information. Education is definitely a sticky subject. However, is still among the leading topics of our time. I appreciate your post and look forward to more. Garage Door Repair Miami FL
