As an owner of four houses, for over thirty-two years, one either comes to enjoy all DIY tasks that come with the same, or spends a fortune on low quality, unreliable repair people. I opted for the former.

We built this big joint and hub is 6'4"...didn't bend that well, so even though he did all of his own plumbing for this 6 bathroom menopause manor, he never learned to enjoy it. Glad we got "Darrell and his other brother Darrell" now to remodel when needed...lol. Good for you, accepting the inevitable and adapting so well.

Well, if you listen to my hub tell you why we have 6 bathrooms...like one in the garage, 2 in the upstairs two bedroom apt. and then only 3 in the main house, it sounds more "normal" doesn't it...lol. We do have 12 acres and there is a "retreat" house on the road already so a B & B wouldn't be out of the question. Got a good friend that calls this place "the resort". We did have two "moms" living here with us though. With 4 adults, we didn't get in each other's hair. And lots of family, extended family and friends visiting. Its a very nice open floor plan. Had a wedding here with over a hundred folks and lots of employee functions. Never want to have another wedding though. That was a trip!

Did have movie studio facilities that wanted to rent it for movie staging. Long story there. The back two bedrooms are "open" with only 3 walls - lots of big windows make it easy for shooting. Hub had a fit...lol. Cops/ firemen do come to "site in". Hub is a Fire Commissioner.

Thanks! I thought there must be more to the story, and you totally cleared me up on it. I sincerely, and greatly, appreciate it.

I had visions of some Tara with one couple living there, running from bathroom to bathroom, doing odd stuff, and sleeping in six different bedrooms, depending on the day of the week!

Nope, just 3 folks that had a curious combination of skill (husband is an EE), strength, ignorance and stupidity...throw in a big big handful of determination, consistency and persistency. Never had a mortgage...just had "sweat equity" and it was a blast that took 3 years...lol.

Laughingly told husband about it and he said "you told wrong, we have 7 bathrooms...oh yeah, forgot the downstairs powder room in the main house. Sorry!

I have ZERO ability to Knit and Chrochet with the needles!
What is a knitting machine?
I use a small knitting Spool and Loom but, as you know, the shapes and sizes I can make with these are very limited. And very slow to make anything.

As arthritis does a number on my hands, some of my skills have slipped. I'm curtailing some hobbies as they become more difficult to do well.
 
I used to play jazz cornet and guitar but eventually the arthritis in my hands and fingers made it impossible for me to play at the level I wanted. I thought I had dealt with that loss pretty well but several nights ago I was watching a video of a group knocking out a tune I used to love to play. As I got caught up in the video, I was surprised to feel tears running down my cheeks. Guess I miss it more than I realized.

I don't really have any hobbies these days. I tried to get back into Amateur Radio last year but it is boring now with computers eliminating the skill that used to be involved in building equipment and making international contacts.
