This is not a pretty sight!
Two little people in our home (I’m not mentioning names here!) are to blame!!
It has been a while now and that hole caused during a simple game of tag, has been gnawing the life out of me.
I’ve honestly thought I’d have to live with this for a good long while, till I stumbled upon a video on how to repair walls.
So guess what Hubs and I will be doing right after Christmas?
This instructional DIY video is one of several on Walmart’s Projects Made Simple site.
The site is a treasure chest of resources with great step-by-step videos on how to repair what needs to be fixed and/or how to add great add-ons to your home.
I have my heart set on organizing our organized but cluttered garage.
The video honestly assures me that this is a project I can take up without Hubby’s help. Perhaps I can surprise him for his birthday with a garage makeover?
With the New Year a few days away, I’m sure you have lots of ideas in your head but it isn’t always easy to put it into action. Perhaps the Projects Made Simple videos will encourage you to actually carry you some of those projects.
Tell me…
Have you found a Projects Made Simple project you know you will take up this New Year?

Win it:
FIVE readers will win a 50$ Walmart Gift Card to help buy supplies for the project in mind!
