List of things that I will NEVER DO AGAIN!

Well, I've got an ongoing list of projects that I've got lined up or am currently working on, so I thought I'd make up a page of things that I have done and WILL NEVER do again!

Install wax seal on toilet.

#1 - In order to 'fix' the seal, the toilet must have NO WATER in either the tank or toilet. It is a CHORE getting all the water out!
#2 - The toilet needs to be unscrewed from the floor and moved to the side. Um. Exactly WHERE to?!?!
#3 - Once the toilet is moved, you'd BETTER have VENTILATION because IT STINKS UNDER THERE!
#4 - The toilet is HEAVY

Installing a door.

#1 - The door frame, if using the existing one, will have settled with the house. It will NOT be 'square'. The new door will have to have a BUNCH of weather stripping around it to seal properly.
#2 - If you don't get a 'pre-hung' door, it does NOT have the spaces for the hinges carved out ... You have to do that on your OWN.

Installing a screen door.

Do NOT let them fool you. It is NOT an easy job!
The 'frame' that you 'presume' is attached to the screen door ... IS NOT ATTACHED! You have to attach the frame (top, then sides, individually) of the screen door to the wooden door frame of your house.

Erecting a 'premade' shed.

#1 - It just does NOT line up!
#2 - It takes two people, and around here, help is SCARCE!
#3 - There are a LOT of pieces.
#4 - NO where, and i do mean NO WHERE (!!!) does it say, that it is going to take an ENTIRE WEEKEND!
