I just did some plumbing repair at home, and all I can say is that it'sthe messiest and the worst home repair I've ever done. But what can ido? it has to be done. I hope I did a good job, I wouldn't want to do itagain any time soon. How about you? what's the worst home repair you've ever done, and what'sthe lesson you learned after?

It's called a "learning curve".Every time you do something new, you acquire something as a result;whether it be tools, knowledge about products, knowledge in knowing whatto expect the next time you do something similar, contacts you can go tofor help or advice, etc. And, all of those things help you do a betterjob the next time around.

What the worst home repair you've ever encountered?

Years later, one spring let loose. I could not even budge the double wooden door. Scary.

I did finally replace it with a steel/foam door.

Sounds like that poor guy had tension springs on his garage door and didn't have safety cables inside them. Bad move...

Sears (for one) sells them, cheap insurance against you, a loved one, or your vehicle getting whacked:
