Only one more trip I swear…
Just getting the job done…
Okay so here is the actual progress! It doesn’t look like much but it’s the base the big changes are going to rapidly grow from. Working today on the final day which is day 4, the goal is to finish it ALL by 2pm… it’s 6am now, so let’s goooooo

I'm tired just watching, lol

Diggin' the overalls.

I thought the bi-fold latch was on the wrong part of the gate, at first.
Then thinking it through, does it matter at all? No, not really.
In fact, having it on the moving gate means you're less likely to catch on it walking through, than if it was on the vertical stationary post.
Thank you for showing me something different.

Oh Ashley, you know what you're doing to everyone with that outfit.

Just HOW do you get the energy and motivation to do these things, AND finish them?!
Kavrae
My usual motivation is "If I don't finish this before the next storm, it's gonna get SO much harder and more expensive." Unfortunately the weather has a sense of humor. Which is how I found myself installing ground anchors and saddling steel cables in the freezing rain.
Prunest
girl, I know the sun has been showing its face to us lately, but it's still a shy smile. It's too cold and yucky in the mornjng/night for dyi.
You're far braver than me v_v

Every damn project: Three trips!

the awkward moment the hardware store employees start recognizing you...
Treestroyer
#1 Just wait until you need to do a minor home repair and you find out the previous home owner who repaired it previously did a super cheap repair and you need to go to the hardware store for a single screw and washer only to get home and realize you now need two for some reason.
LDRcycles
Omg I was in tears over #1 🤣
HonHomes
#1 yes, the old "ah, we need to just nip out and get..."
Been there!
LateNightBunnyParty
What ya building?
LeekofLegend
That looks like such a fun project!

Can you get decent wood at hardware stores on your side of the pond? In Germany it's basically impossible to get wood that's usable for anything, everything you can buy is warped and covered in knots. Super frustrating, but getting it from a sawmill is prohibitively expensive :(

Final day is day 4? HAHAHA! My young padawan, its never done. You always want to add something, take something out, just "Well I can make that a little nicer." You will know the Lowes people by first name.
Alsoashley
You have striken the fear in me 😂

Also remember, when you own a house you are NEVER done! My parents have live in the same house since 1986 and they are still doing shit xD
WorkingHard
Always check the weather forecast before doing things like this. And for those who live in Ireland: consult the local witch because forecast is 100% wrong 50% of the time -.-
Somebody721
How wrong is it the rest of the time? 50%?
drewfusmpls
Question. Will a vengeful sea hag work for weather forecasting as well? Our local witch is on a 2 week cruise atm.
DimwitF
Basically the same weather there as it is here in the PNW, yeah. In the spring especially, if you don't like the weather, just wait a couple hours!
Type17
Hours? In Ireland, the saying is: If you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute. Another good one is about the three states of weather in Ireland 1. Raining 2. Just stopped raining 3. Just about to rain.
MisterBrahanovich
If you dont make 3 extra trips in o Lowes are you even DIYing?
kayleigh2shy
You also have to spend more time looking for the tools you need for the job than actual time spent doing the job
Yellowchopsticks
only 3? looks like we have a seasoned DIYer here
Aefinn
We don't have Lowes in my country so I can't ever know how it feels to DIY 😭
fillerbunny9
We won’t discus how many trips it took to get everything we needed to install an 8’ privacy fence last summer…..

We know Jesus was divine because he once finished a carpentry project without going back to Home Depot.

Hopefully that time estimate is double of what you first thought, because otherwise... double it. Shit always take longer than you think.
Isorikk
I always double and it still takes longer, I'm terrible at predicting how long things take
graehall
It always takes longer than you think because no matter how much you plan once you start doing a thing you find there's always more to it
dogfavoriter
Hofstadter's law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's law.
dohcohv
Sometimes, it's just much shorter. I had to replace my dishwasher and it took me an hour. Nothing went wrong. I removed the old one, cleaned up, installed, leveled, and set up the new one. It was cool that you could adjust the rear height from the front. I also like that it opens when it is done.
Quebeker
My rule of thumb is estimate time x 2 + 1. Whatever the unit of time estimate.
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
At work I like to joke it takes welders 30 minutes to put their hood on and 30 minutes to take their hood off. That's where the +1 comes in, sorting and cleanup and finding where the f'ing 10mm went.

Moving house, renovating... there's always something!

And she has HUUUUGEEE... tracts of land
Pilgrymm
I know, but I want the-- the girl that I marry to have... a certain,... special... something!
morningxafter
Ashley has that too.
What? I’m obviously talking about her sparkling personality. What were you perverts thinking about?
TheEvenPrez
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond. I wanna girl who knows what's best
Pilgrymm
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like, cigarettes
CycloneSP
I want a girl worth fighting for!
Doismellbacon
I want a girl with the right allocations
