Coming Soon

By Samantha DeRose

In honor of Women's Equality Week, I did a few typically unorthodox chores (for women) around the homestead.

As my four-legged son, Nunzio took it upon himself to create his own doggie door (3 years ago) in the sliding door screen, which I had been patching (for 3 years) with packaging tape, I decided that I would finally have the door fixed.

When I mentioned to a friend that I'd be taking the door to a local hardware store to have it repaired, she promptly told me how she had repaired her own screen door for mere pennies.  

Not to be one-upped by anyone, I watched a youtube video on repairing screen doors and marched myself to Home Depot to buy the necessary tools to DIM (Do It Myself).

iPad and iPhone in tow, I managed to capture the entire escapade, shopping extravaganza and repair job, in digital format.

I had very good intentions of editing the footage for today's blog, but alas, poor planning is everything when it comes to me, and the editing process didn't go as expected.

Please stay tuned until later this week (Wednesday or Friday) for my very own How-to video.  

Yes, I was successful*, in case you were wondering, and yes, I have been humming this song for 2 days.

(*Success does not mean that I did not make a total buffoon out of myself... you'll see)
