Home Maintenance: Hardware for Doors

Two maintenance items in our home that we—I mean, me—I have let slip in our house due to busy life. I’m sharing them with you so you can feel better about yourself.

This is my daughter’s bathroom, and you see how the drawers are missing pulls on them? Well, I’ll tell you what happened here. It’s something you can chuckle and laugh about.

The pulls that I picked… yeah, the screws that came with them to install them were not the right size. And because I ordered them cheaply off of the place or something, maybe I had to get a metric size. I don’t even know.

All I know is that they’re just a tad too short. Therefore, the pulls get pulled off. So she’s got them stored in one of these drawers, and one day I’ll get the screws that are long enough, and then we can fix those.

But until that happens, probably until we sell our house, it’s probably going to stay like that.

I’m sorry. Sorry, I keep promising you we’re going to fix this. But you know what? Maybe when you leave, sweetheart, in a year and a half.

Again, the point of these videos is so you can feel better about yourself because, if you were buying a home, buyers, don’t be so judgy. Judgy. People live in their houses.

Again, if I was selling my house, I would be fixing these things. Give yourself some grace, homeowners. Give yourself some grace. Not everything has to be perfect. I mean, I would love it to be, but it’s not realistic.
