I love to watch home remodeling television shows. They give me confidence that I really could remodel a kitchen, build a shed, or even install new windows all by myself. Usually, the feeling passes quickly, but I find myself feeling comfortable around power tools, and I do enjoy a good home improvement store.
Recently, the host of one of the more extreme house “rescue” shows said something so profound, I wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget how he phrased it. There he was on the roof of a house, totally exasperated by one problem after another created by previous homeowners or contractors—problems he would have to rectify before the job could move forward.
