One project down, 57 more to go.

I am convinced that DIY is a home improvement Utopia. They describe a project in a perfect world given no unexpected variables leaving you with the delusion that you can indeed do-it-yourself in half a day. After some plumbing alterations and some additional flooring, this simple task took a day and a half complete with multiple trips to the hardware store. Oh DIY, you won't fool me so easily next time!

Ugliness before...

Prettiness after.
