I am endlessly doing something myself that is probably best left to a professional but why spend good money when I think im amazing lol. I find that such comedies fulfill my life with humility.
I recently decided to paint a cheap truck that i bought on craigslist in a fantastic satin poop brown rustoleum. I cleaned out every local hardware store in 5-6 can quantities of nutmeg colored spray paint. That process, I'm sure, costed half as much as the paint.
It takes quite a while to spray 16 cans of paint, and even though I started early my poor digits could barely spray the can anymore by sunset. Besides being overconfident in diy, i am also unwilling to give up. I switched into survival mode which never turns out well; "must spray can to live!" Into the dark i sprayed, and the next day i owned a zebra textured piece of turd brown junk! I bet it costed more than the actual truck to waste my time on it.
Tell me in reply about your recent failures in DiY for some fun :)
Oh and the truck, well after about 2 more depleted hardware stores, 12 more cans, it was decent enough to find other projects to hammer.
