I just find one that fits the job. Not that I do much, generally changing batteries, putting toys together and the odd IKEA stuff. Yes stuff's a great word. Covers a multitude of sins and has a great sound to it!<br /><br />Now tomorrow I'm having a go at replacing the stuff around the sink and the shower cabinet. Sick of waiting for the "hubsband" to get around to it so I asked Sonny Jim what I needed. Hope I do it OK and get it done before hubsband comes back or he'll be full of criticism. Makes you laugh doesn't it!

It's the one thing we women have to conquer. Feel the fear and do it right! Hell, Mike Holmes won't expect anything less.<br /><br />As for doing the drywall compound, yes it is a lot like icing a cake, only we don't get to eat it, but we will see the evidence for ever if it's not done right.<br /><br />I use the new low dust type and make sure you knead it a few times on the hod or bucket whatever you our using. This will get all the air bubbles out before you apply it to the wall.<br />If you don't do this you will have small air bubbles which may not be covered when you paint the wall. I just hate that look. For an extra 5 min. of time you can have perfection.<br /><br />Oh ya, if Mike Holmes reads your blog you know where to find me.The Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02021866057255311124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-18856294268965174582010-01-24T11:55:17.431-05:002010-01-24T11:55:17.431-05:00Anxious to see the doors when you finish.

Poor mum had fiberglass insulation up her nose. Awful. <br /><br />LizMyBulletinBoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961091298654325887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-53927211977799887422010-01-24T11:51:21.946-05:002010-01-24T11:51:21.946-05:00Putting mud down is NOT a piece of cake, let me te...Putting mud down is NOT a piece of cake, let me tell you. It's a tough job even though it looks easy. Just remember, the less mud you put on the less sanding you have to do. Ask me how I know!!!<br /><br />Love the quilt block.

Thats what I do, I don't remember what all the tools and gadgets are called, usually end up with names that represent the face that is pulled whilst they are being used or possibly the actions required to make them work!<br />Good luck with finishing off the cupboards, they look like they will be lovely, plenty of storage space!<br />Sarah xlandcuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539783011453017316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-33927311529129666442010-01-24T02:06:14.559-05:002010-01-24T02:06:14.559-05:00You made me laugh with the rant about the screwdri...You made me laugh with the rant about the screwdrivers. I'm exactly the same. DH will ask me to grab a certain screwdriver and I haven't a clue what he's asking for. I solved it by buying one of those ones with interchangeable heads and just hand that to him!Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531639422553980153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-74485543853116368982010-01-24T01:15:04.181-05:002010-01-24T01:15:04.181-05:00You sound just like a girl!!
