DIY Project.. Oh the Things I Have Learned

Beautiful black shower. Big and best tip… Prime, Prime, Prime. Spend the money buy great polyurethane.
Paint let dry and seal before sanding and doing other things.
I had no idea that when I sanded my concrete counter tops that the dust would adhere to the paint in the tub and tile and create pits and mars throughout. Yes I had to redo the entire tub.

My thoughts… oh it has to be easy to replace a faucet….

Reality. Not always. Look at your fittings underneath the sink. Mine were old and corroded and did not come off easy. Two days after using a sledgehammer, a regular hammer, WD 40 and a hack saw and reading every tip online I bought a dremel and a pipe cutter to get the old faucet off. Tears and frustration do not work.. I was lucky I didn’t damage any of the lines in my desperation to get the old lines off.
