the last lady to live in my house painted my bathroom cabinets purple. they're on the list of things to do. but not even close to the top. haha
I feel you.
My ex wife decorated the bathroom in black and purple, with a bunch of crap from Hot Topic. She had a thing for Jack Skelington that bordered on obsessive. Go ahead and ask me where I met her. My house was like living in emo hell, but with way more Invader Zim and passive aggressiveness.
I got term for what this is, wife tax. It's all the useless crap she has to have that you have to buy to keep her happy. It's like "I had no idea we needed new curtains. I thought the ones we had blocks out the sunlight pretty well, but apparently they don't go with anything." Every woman has a wife or girlfriend tax, some can be cheap as stockings or as expensive as designer shoes and purses. And if you don't pay your wife tax on time things can get very expensive.

I came into a little money, not much but enough to get my books for college and I had a little left over for repairs, and I finally replaced my kitchen light. It's been bugging me for months. The starter was going and I had to flip the damn thing off and on a hundred times, or else leave it on and wait for it to start.
I have had a new light fixture waiting for months for me to put it up. My land lord just gave me a new one and said it was cheaper to replace. But I didn't have the time or equipment to do the job. Took me forever to pull it down too, it was freaken held into some metal structure with wood screws. I tore the old one down, put in the new one with butterfly nuts, connected white wore to white wire, black to black, green to brass, flipped on the breaker and VOILA!
No I just have to worry about the broken dish washer, four broken outlets, the thermostat cover that fell off the wall, and replacing the two fire detectors. This place is a fucking money pit!

Showed my son how to rebuild the starter in his pickup today. That was the latest thing.
Being a mechanic by trade and also being a homeowner usually means doing "manly" things every day so no biggie here.
It's important to teach them life skills like that. The knowledge gained from even basic mechanical repairs allows them to be more comfortable with that sort of thing in the future.

I put air in my car tyres. I did have help from a man with the machine. I didn't ask for help, he just came over.
I've killed about three spiders rather than scream! I'm not at the stage of catching them and putting them outside yet.
Painted my son's room and hung curtains.

New bearings in an LG washing machine, which means stripping it down to get the drum out then change the bearings put in new seals. then remember how it all goes back, but you can cheat like me with digital camera, take a few pics as to do it, and there if you get stuck you have a second brain, works wonders.

Lmao! Does help to put air in your tyres every now and again!
Was it one of those really complicated machines with a gauge and numbers on it, or was it the really, really, really complicated machine where you set the pressure first and wait for a ding?
It was one of those machines and initially I was taken air out of my tyres as it hadn't started!!
They say we are moving toward eating bugs all over the world. I can't wait for that day as I feel they need a culling. There's loads around at the moment.

That day may come sooner than you think.... Like in the next 20-30 years.
