Because A Little DIY Never Hurt Nobody!

A couple of weeks ago, my roomate of 4 months told me that he wasn’t going to be able to make rent anymore, and that he’ll have to move back home.  I can’t afford the place on my own, and with all my equiptment, I can’t get just any roomate. Unfortunately, I’ll have to be moving back as well. It wont be for long, just enough to save a lil money to find a nice, better place, on my own this time!

Since I gave up my room to my lil brother when I had originally moved out, I have to move back in to the the tiny 8”x 11″ room I lived in when I was a young whippersnapper. This small-ass room is ugly, green paint with yellow trim, staple and nail holes everywhere,  dent marks and peeled paint on the walls is what I have to fix. I have no experience with home improvement, and this is going to be quite a challange. I got a lil help from my dad, he patched up the holes, and I (hand)sanded them down. That took a while. Next up is primer the walls, then coat them with the two paints I got, White on three walls, and ceiling and one accent wall that will be Red.
