How many DIY projects have you started at your home?

How many have you completed?
Initially mine wasn't so much DIY as MEHSW (My ex-husband sure wouldn't!)

Then I got into the swing and before we divorced I had installed wrought-iron railings on 1st & 2nd floor porches, remodeled the powder room, including a drop-ceiling, torn up the indoor-outdoor living room carpet, sanded and varnished the pine floors underneath, tore up decades of linoleum and put down tile in the kitchen, stripped the paint off pine cupboards and varnished them, stripped wallpaper and painted...and hand-carved an oak threshold for the kitchen/living room doorway.

@Mamapolo2016 people tend to appreciate things more when it's their own hard work, sweat, tears and money
@Mamapolo2016 Impressive -- you've been busy!
@DreamyCrush Nearly every one of those projects were only begun because I had no idea what I was getting into.

I've refurbished some furniture... a desk and a dresser. It's fun for me, and I love bringing purpose back to old, unappreciated things with a little TLC!

Knees replaced in December so nothing is being done by me
Ive lost count & I completed all. I like diy.

None yet because we haven't settled anywhere. My husband is about to forbid me watching DIY videos though because I keep asking for power tools.

I couldn't tell you how many I have completed or how many I still have to complete. I do a lot of things myself instead of hiring someone to do them including an additional I built.

OMG - More than I can count.

Kind of find them rewarding.
