About Me:
Retired homeowner who likes to work on household and garden projects.
Favorite area of home improvement:
Almost anything that I am able to tackle; I have in the past fixed my leaky roof, installed dimmers and fixtures, lots of painting and am good at prep work, have always fixed my own leaky toilets. Only age is beginning to curb my ambition!
