Want to share some wins (big or small)? What have you learned and DIYed lately?

Just feel like sometimes I come across the high stress or disaster posts often which is understandable. I don't know about you, but it can inadvertently keep me in a worried state. I thought I'd ask folks to share some wins (big or small!) in true DIY spirit and for encouragement. On my end, moved to a new (old) house this year and a few things to share include: Gutter management Learning to open and close a pool for the winter and summer months A lot of caulking Flushing hot water tank Oil change on my car Sump pump stuff! It hasn't been smooth sailing for each project but hand on heart it has been a huge learning experience. Would love to hear your list! submitted by /u/TwistedScience [link] [comments]

Just feel like sometimes I come across the high stress or disaster posts often which is understandable. I don't know about you, but it can inadvertently keep me in a worried state.

I thought I'd ask folks to share some wins (big or small!) in true DIY spirit and for encouragement.

On my end, moved to a new (old) house this year and a few things to share include:

  • Gutter management
  • Learning to open and close a pool for the winter and summer months
  • A lot of caulking
  • Flushing hot water tank
  • Oil change on my car
  • Sump pump stuff!

It hasn't been smooth sailing for each project but hand on heart it has been a huge learning experience.

Would love to hear your list!
