A DIY blog for the rest of us. So you saw a neat photo on Pinterest or were inspired by a show on HGTV. Can you really do it yourself? Maybe, but it's going to be tougher than it looks. This blog is a journal of my DIY projects: the good, the bad and the ugly. Hopefully you can avoid some of my mistakes and frustration.

If in doubt, prime

My wife painted the doors on her studio. The manufacturer told us they were painted "primer white." Well that must be a color as it sure as heck wasn't primer. When in doubt, use primer. Even if you don't need it for adhesion purposes, it can reduce the number of color coats you'll need. Better to spend a little more time up front than having to redo the whole project.
