[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3832360, member: 45773"] Hell... I'd never done a lot of the things I'm doing here. YouTube is your friend...at least it was my friend. I'll watch videos of 2 or 3 guys doing what I want to do...maybe a few more if it seems complicated or I want to learn some of the tricks. I find if I can just get myself to start a project I can do it. For me it's the apprehension of not knowing the ins and outs that keeps me from doing some things. Once I get started I can kind of get into a rhythm and generally get it done. Some things, like plumbing, has become so much easier than it was in the past due to some of the technical advances...like SharkBite fittings. None of the sinks in the bathroom or kitchen had shutoff valves in this house. But the water lines are all PEX. Buy a SharkBite valve, cut water line in half, push SharkBite valve on each end of cut pipe, done. It literally took me longer to shut the water off at the pump house than it did to install the valves. [/QUOTE]
