You know renovation has become routine when...

The dog doesn't even flinch at sawing, banging, clanking, or hammering.

In Awe of DIY Senseis

So obviously our TV is constantly set to either HGTV or the DIY Network.  At some point this weekend, there was a show on DIY where a homeowner was installing his own heater.  And I'm not talking just about the heater itself, I'm talking about the whole venting system that goes along with the heater.  For a very pregnant minute, I thought to myself, "Woooow, that's DIY on steroids.  I'm in total awe."  I have such an appreciation for this man, whoever he was, but also feel quite liberated in knowing that the pressure to do our own venting / heating is a non-issue.  We would never attempt to do that.  Never.  Instead, we have 2 guys here all week installing our new heating / venting for a sum of money that I'm positive the DIY Sensei did not spend.  But well done to the gurus out there who have far more courage and skills than I could ever hope or dream to possess.
