169 DIY Home Project: Painting The Garage

We took on a new project recently: painting the interior of the garage.

This episode is a fun report on how it’s going.

Which turned into some fun inspiration – that’s also realistic and takes the pressure off – when it comes to home maintenance and improvement projects.

Topics we cover are:

  • the right tools make a difference

  • doing research beforehand can help save money and time

  • unexpected issues will probably crop up anyway

  • so make room for unexpected issues (mistakes) in your psychology, calendar, and energy levels

  • 90+% of the work can feel like just preparing to do the work, and cleaning up after the work

  • satisfaction and fulfillment in doing a job as well as you can

  • cheering each other on

In this ep, you’ll hear us refer to a previous episode, and it’s this one: 136 Actually…Maybe You CAN Do It! – from October 2022.

And here is the 6-in-1 painter’s tool that made Siena feel like a "real lesbian." 😆
