All of these chores have been frustrating and time consuming. But finishing the job is the ultimately satisfying. And most importantly, $0 has gone towards manual labor. Take that "The Man"!!!!

Tool Time and Time Again
I think the greatest thing about being a first-time home owner is when something needs fixing there is a sudden urge to do-it-yourself. The easy way out is to call a professional. But why not give it a shot? Since moving in I have accomplished these three major tasks: fixed a leaky toilet, replaced electrical cords on the washing machine, and most recently (but not finished) installed a new faucet in the kitchen. I'm going to install one in the bathroom too, but I am one wrench size too small, so I've got to wait.

Having just replaced a kitchen faucet myself, I salute you!
Toliets aren't that bad (unless you have to pull it and replace the wax ring . . .nasty!).
The worst I've had to do was working in the fuse panel to replace a bad GFI circuit breaker. That scared the $#!T out of me.
I did have to replace the wax ring.
It was sticky. It was smelly. It was nasty.
And it's over and done with.
