Today is a day off from work, so I decided to work on my roof. It was leaking every time it rained, and even though it was my first time, I did a great job. I'm proud of what I accomplished. Someone with no experience like me in this kind of work—that's what builders are for—but I felt like no one would put in the effort and dedication I did. No one would take better care of my things than myself, so I got up early, barefoot, with music playing, and whatever I could find to fix it: some cement, lime put on, a little bottle of whiskey, and the desire to get it 100%. I still have a bit to do, but I'm getting closer. With perseverance, anything is possible. I didn't lose hope, and it turned out better than I expected. I just wanted to share it with you all.

My dad's a builder. He shouldn't be anymore because he's 73, had a liver transplant several years ago, had a cancer scare earlier this year (thankfully it was fine) and various other health issues. He said he was retired at the start of last year. This week he has four jobs in four different places. He's insane.

Anyway, I'm not a chip off the old block. If I tried to fix my roof I would get halfway up the ladder, have a panic attack and ring my dad. You did a great job.
 
That’s cool stuff mate... enjoy it : )

DIY is one of the best things to do, especially when trying to get some time off the PC and engage your mind in something completely unrelated to screens
 
I wanted to share a pic of my before vs after but height of the picture is too high and the forum doesn't allow me to upload the photo and also I don't want someone doxxing me so this gave me an idea , I'll make an edit with my friend photoshop or Canva , maybe both since i'm not Good editing photos and share a collage . Before vs After, this is good and Will remind me in only one picture what I have done, without experience only watching others work if you try everything is possible, guys.

Just, do it.

Nice work bro! I use canva to simply upload image and then download as jpg and it usually small enough to show it on BHW. But if not, crop it first. Maybe we can see it soon!

Nice - you're working, fixing the internet, fixing the roof. I know you feel beat up now but honestly in your situation you're doing really good and you're enriching, not leeching out your household. Don't worry, think through what went wrong with your hustle last time (since you had clients, so you had something going, not everything was wrong) and try again (or slightly different one) in the future. Good luck.
 
That's cool, I feel happy and excited when I see someone do what i cannot do.
 
Working and fixing stuff around the house is the most satisfying thing there is. It just gives me an excuse to buy more tools with the money I saved!

Sounds like you're about to start a local roofing business.
 
I look at it this way: it’s my stuff I have to fix it. If I want it done right.

Git er dun and congratulations
 
I think that occasionally stepping away from mental work and doing some physical work that lets you enter a state of flow is a form of rest. I completely understand the sense of enjoyment and fulfillment you’re describing. I haven’t had an experience like that for a long time.

Nah dude you got to vacuum the roof with one foot while standing on your hands first. Don’t forget about lawn mowing the carpet either.
