(I am at 6 visits in 3 days and about to head out for what I dearly hope is the final trip. FML.)

@jacob@social.jacobian.org I think this misses the effect of persistence. After a while, you have all the tools. You're still bad at it. But man, this shed has half the inspirational glow as a Bunnings aisle, and that's something.

@jacob@social.jacobian.org oh pfft go to the hardware store as often as you need to to do a quality job and don't let anyone shame you for taking the time necessary to really get something sorted out properly it's your home and you deserve for it to be nice

@jacob@social.jacobian.org this math does get a little fuzzy as you accumulate leftovers and wrong parts from previous jobs. I saved a trip for hinges recently because I already had some from previously buying the wrong ones

@jacob@social.jacobian.org I did change my well pump in 1 visit! Record I think was 7 in one day. I definitely had the 1 day record for the local auto parts store I could walk.
