Introduction
if a retard like me can fix his house, you can too.
1
Tiling Floors and Kitchen Walls
Tiling always seemed like such an "art" to me. It's not. It's like putting together a juzzle where all the piece fit together. This is seriously the easiest project and very rewarding.
2
Refinishing Wood Floors
Rent a U-Sand unit and you'll avoid any damage. Use water based finishes. Easy peezey.

This one isn't fun. It's heavy and messy. The mudding and taping take a bit of getting used to. Just watch some This Old House and you'll get it.

Just practice coping joints and you're there. A compound miter saw is a nice tool to have.
I have had a compound miter saw in my trunk for the last month. Great tool. Every girl needs one.

Are you nuts? Have you been sniffing floor stripper? If by easy you mean any redneck with more time than good sense can do it, you are correct. But "can" and "should" are very different concepts. Twenty-five years ago, my wife and I bought an old arts and crafts style house, and redid it form the ground up. By the time we were half way through, I spent each night praying for the sweet release of death. When we were finished, I couldn't sell the place fast enough. I vowed then to never, ever, under any circumstances, do anything in the way of manual labor that I could hire illegal aliens to do.
hey hippie, the high from floor stripper is killer. much better than that stinky skunk weed you got in your bong! yes, hard work is hard and we all know how much hippies can't stand working.
I was going to respond, but I believe I'll fire up the hookah and smoke a little ganja instead. Maybe I can hire someone to respond.
Yo, Mr. King,
What do you know about installing new pots? not the Mr. Hippie kind of pot; the bathroom kind. Well, I guess you can do the Mr. Hippie kind in the bathroom...uck

My mother, who was raised in Ozark, MO, always insisted on calling our toilet "the pot." No relavence, just reminded me of my mom.
if by pot you mean "the shitter" i can tell you this. i pulled an old one out and put a new one in and it was retardedly easy. just buy like 2 or 3 or the wax rings so incase you mess up the first one you aren't without a place to go. but on the other hand, just having a hole in the flood is very european.
