All Access Pass {Random Fixes}

 Whether my chance or by choice

Millions of women are single

Sometimes we

Just need to do what we need to do...

 My hope this past weekend

Was to complete several small projects

The first one was super simple

I've had a hook in my bedroom ceiling for 18 years

I've never hug a thing from it

 

I purchased this small chandelier

Several months ago with the intention 

Of re-wiring it and hanging it in my closet

Well, I think it adds a touch of class to my bedroom

So, here is where it will stay

 

Next, I have always wanted to add something above my front door

Kind of boring

So...

I found a sign I really liked at Hobby Lobby 

50% off

 

I hung it over my door

Honestly, I Love the sign

I'm just not sure it works here

What are your thoughts, Please???

Here is where my list of quick fixes 

Became 

Not such a quick fix

My bathroom toilet has been leaking (inside) for several months

I needed to replace the fixings

As I gathered my tools and began to work

I soon realized it was not going to be such a quick fix

 

Because my home is 32 years old

Some of the hardware is beginning to wear out

I easily removed the working parts from the inside

And replaced them with new

 

 No Problem

I began putting everything back together

When...

The ancient copper supply line began to LEAK

Big Time

After going outside and turning off the water to the house

(I had turned the water off to the toilet - just not the house)

I made a quick trip to Ace Hardware

For some new parts

 

Then after making a few phone calls to family members

With questions like:

"Who is your plumber?"

And "How do I get this off?"

My brother talked me through the 

'Don't take that off!!!'

And...

 

Voila

I have a new supply line

And new inside fixings

No leaks, No drips, No hissing 

This job was NOT as easy as I had hoped

And when you are dealing with ancient parts

Be prepared for more work and trips to the hardware store than you had planned

Ladies, 

Don't be afraid to try new things

Just because you have never done it before 

Doesn't mean you Can't do it now

There are some things I will NOT tackle

But there are many things I will

The amount of confidence that fills your soul

When you accomplish something new

Far out weighs the fear of trying

Leave a comment and tell me what you are going to

Achieve this week!

I'd love to encourage you!!!
