This is an oak chest I made for my boy to keep his toys in. It's extremely sturdy and durable. You can climb on top and jump up and down with no fear of it breaking. He likes to climb inside and shut the lid with a flashlight to read a book or play a game. Pretty sure he spends more time in it than his toys do. Anyone else find peace in building and working with your hands?

Knowing your limits with tile is a good thing. Kitchen back splashes or small for sections are really easy.

My dad used to say know your limits because you can cause a lot more work for the next guy when you realize you need to hire someone to fix it. I've always kept that in mind. I can build a house from digging the basement up. I don't do electric or plumbing. I know the basics of each, but I'm not comfortable enough to confidently swear by my work in either. Similar to tile, it looks easier than it is. One of these days I may try my hand at it on a small project. Who knows, maybe it'll be easier than I've convinced myself it will be.
