I just bought a house about 8 months ago and was wondering if any of you ladies recently did the same. I watch alot of HGTV(Home & Garden TV) and do alot of projects myself.
I was hoping we could share some projects that we have done on our own or maybe some advice about home maintenace, low cost landscaping, painting or anything you've done yourself, saved money and didn't have to call a contractor.
For instance I saw on HGTV a show that suggest instead of using expense landscaping fabric why not use garbage bags to smother weeds and keep them from growing. Also, I learned how to change out a chandelier in my living room. An electrician in my area would have costed $50/hour.
Also any landladies out there? I need to rent my downstairs apt out and was wanting any pointers that you could give.
I was thinking about starting a group of females in my community that could get together and talk about these things. Not all of us have males around that we could call up to help out or want to spend the money for contractors in hope of them not taking advantage. You know like the mechanic that loves to see a female bring her car in. I would be great if we could learn from each others mistakes as well as accomplishments.![]()
