That was too funny! I actually saw the gripper on DIY's Cool Tools a month or so ago and thought "Where the hell was that thing a few months ago when I was carting piles of beadboard around?"
I was probably among the minority watching for the product in the commercial, too. :-)
(it may need more paint, some trim, and the wrought iron fence installed, but it's no longer "Home Sweet Derelict")
We've been happily married since 2003, together since 2000, and we thought to ourselves, "Hey, let's test the limits of our relationship!" So we're in the process of renovating a 1868 brick home in Covington Kentucky, for better or for worse, richer or poorer, until one of us kills the other one -- or the renovation project gets finished, of course.
This is our chronicle of our journey into renovation. This blog will hopefully prove to be a resource or even a DIY "renovators' manual" for those who come after us.
Our backgrounds:
She is a creative MBA who got the entrepreneurial bug in 2000, and joined her yet-to-be husband in business. While she has always been handy and crafty, Wife has no professional experience in any of the building trades, nor did any of her immediate family.
He is a long time entrepreneur and newsletter publisher. Not particularly crafty, Husband is reasonably handy and has had some experience doing stone work, repairing and rebuilding decks and doing smaller repair projects around the house.
In other words, we're rank amateurs figuring this stuff out as we go along.
