DIY projects that are way more work than you thought!

[CountValentine]

Replacing the kitchen cabinets. You better be good at measuring, drywall and electric just to name a few. Way more work than I thought.

Putting up a succah -especially one with a shlak!

And cost way more too

And cost way more too

Actually it was less for this job. Expected to spend 10k and it was less.

Now for my daughters deck it was almost twice the cost we expected.

Retractable roof

Ha, a shlak is a tarp. What you are referring to is...a retractable roof.

Shlak?

A Shlak is an assistant or more like a slave what does every silly thing you ask them to do without asking questions.

A must for any small business owner...

Shlak?

A tarp used to cover a sukkah to protect it from the rain. People have all kinds of contraptions to be able to easily put it up when it rains and take it down when the rain stops.

ETA: The sukkah is not kosher when covered by the tarp, so it must be taken off after the rain. It just protects everything inside while it's raining.

Replacing struts. Thought it would be a lot simpler. Then the sway bar links wouldn't come off and the torch had to come out. Then you gotta be careful not ruin anything else. Them I had to run out and buy the links
Radiator was messier than expected but not really harder.

I had to access a screw head through a porcelain crown because the crown felt loose. Had to create a 10mm shaft. After an hour of struggling it turned out that the implant itself was loose.

Anything on cars can turn into a major project. Old plumbing the same thing.

I'm not touching my old plumbing. Even plumbers are afraid to touch it unless absolutely necessary. Hopefully going to have the whole house repiped soon
