I like it. Yes we do.
It’s not just one book, as he explained it I think it will end up a DIY forum. As a relatively poor person I DIY a lot. And help and advice giving and taking will come in handy.
No we don’t.
Glad to see you got the point. :rolleyes:

Why, just this morning I D.I.Y.'d my kitchen, and I’d like to share the tips I’ve learned.
You see, for years my stove has had a utensil rack hanging above it, ladel, big spoon, spaghetti twaddler, you know. On the top of my stove, above the dials, are where my spices live. Well, a few months ago I got a lemon-pepper mill, and unfortunately it stands about 10 inches high and is constantly getting knocked over by the spoons and ladels hanging above. Every time I touch a stove dial or take down the twaddler, crash, the pepper mill falls over.
So last night while making chili, I turned a dial from warm to medium, and crash! The excessively phallic lemon-pepper mill fell right in my chili pot. I threw the bastard in the garbage.
I hope your kitchen renovation can benefit from what I’ve shared, so every “Do It Yourself” becomes a “Love It Yourself”. Until next week, happy renovating!
One of the drawbacks to this condo is the small kitchen, and one of the biggest aggravations is storage. Digging for pots and pans enrages me beyond all reason. The first thing I did in this kitchen was to lag a nice-looking piece of finished 2x4 to the only empty wall, up near the ceiling, and screw seven large pothooks to it. I bought hooks that are big enough to hold two pots each, or a multitude of strainers, mandolines, etc. Saves me aggravation, back strain, and pinched fingers. Not to mention saving the cat a good kicking.
Since that time, we (via a contractor) did a complete kitchen renovation and installed oversized cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling. This increased storage area and eliminated that dead space that collects dust and grease. I still use the pothooks, however.
Hilarious pun intended?
