    When your husband thinks you are rad because you’ve generously sent him off to golf Wasatch for 7 hours, while you stay home and start the family project of painting the house interior by yourself. But you are really calculating that you can roll all the walls in short order, and then participate in the monthly bug off for Animal Crossing, leaving all the trim work for him.

      That's a good trade-off. My wife always screws up the trim work.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            Pretend you have a teenager. Go to the bathroom where your would-be teenager will shower and pour a gallon of water on the floor, every day, for 2-4 years. Return and report.

                Does anyone have any recommendations for a garage door repair company near Draper. One of the cables broke and the door is completely off track. Hopefully I won't have to replace it.

                  These guys are fantastic. Everyone i have referred to them has been thrilled.

                      So the kids overflowed the toilet upstairs and it leaked through. I'm being told that getting some killz paint and repainting it would fix it. I'm not sure. Should I replace the drywall?

                        I'm no expert, but I think you need to dry it out. Maybe open it up and let it dry out, then patch and paint. Drywall repair isn't that much.

                          as long as it is all dried out and the drywall isn't breaking down it should be fine as it is. I would start by painting as it looks to be just cosmetic at this point

                            Are those holes in the drwall? Or exposed screws? If there are holes, the damage might be worse than it looks.
