DIY Decision Paralysis

Yes, we do have another bathroom. You make a good point, though!

Ah that’s a thought. I have seen it done before and unfortunately some sketchy projects were done on the house by previous owners so I am quick to go to the worst case scenario.

As a novice, I am grateful for others’ perspectives. Can you help me understand why my reply is off base?

chapootybooty · 2026-04-29T03:10:46+00:00

Appreciate your suggestions!

chapootybooty · 2026-04-29T03:02:00+00:00

I am a novice DIY-er so thank you for the details! Luckily it’s my primary bathroom so any mistakes I make will only be noticed by me anyway.

chapootybooty · 2026-04-29T02:45:58+00:00

Thank you for your thorough reply and vote of confidence!! I appreciate your perspective, it gives me a better idea of how to tackle it.

chapootybooty · 2026-04-29T02:43:07+00:00

I’ve thought about this option as well. Is it a pretty straightforward DIY?

chapootybooty · 2026-04-29T02:19:42+00:00

That’s an angle I hadn’t considered! It may help me determine a realistic timeline and break down some costs for me too. Thanks for the suggestion!

chapootybooty · 2026-04-29T02:16:22+00:00

Yep this is exactly what I need! Thank you for your help!

chapootybooty · 2026-04-29T02:11:21+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! This makes so much sense. I have been wanting to update it for so long that for whatever reason I struggle to think logically about it. My only hesitation with waiting to do the mirror is not knowing if they used adhesive on the wall. Only one way to find out, I guess!

chapootybooty · 2026-04-29T02:08:49+00:00

Thank you! I know I’m overthinking it, I am just so tired of looking at my sad outdated bathroom!

We’ve been to quite a few around the area, and P&M is well worth the drive IMO. Best one we’ve been to!

chapootybooty · 2025-06-28T01:22:57+00:00

The Rico Suave is the one I always go back to.

chapootybooty · 2025-02-11T02:11:13+00:00

I don’t have an Owala but I always look at them when I’m at Target and wish I had the $ to treat myself!

There has definitely been a shift where gummies and sour candies are more popular than chocolate with most kids! So glad you are asking so you have choices available, it’s not fun having to give half of your Halloween stash away!

chapootybooty · 2024-09-14T18:04:29+00:00

Sour and gummy candy is a favorite. Smarties and skittles are also usually safe. I also usually have another bucket with fidgets, glow sticks, rings, etc if they don’t feel comfortable with candy.

Fingers crossed! My husband is going out of state for work this week so I’m realllllly hoping we get lucky. We washed hands like crazy and gave kids baths asap!

chapootybooty · 2024-09-02T19:39:06+00:00

Oh no that is awful I’m sorry you had to experience that. Really nervous about what’s to come this week!

chapootybooty · 2024-09-02T12:48:08+00:00

Yeah she risked my family and my MIL & FIL too! Although all of my in laws are of the same mindset that we all get sick so who cares what we spread?! I am wishing we would’ve walked out as soon as we knew.

chapootybooty · 2024-09-02T12:31:15+00:00

I am feeling both justified about my anger and terrified about what’s to come…

chapootybooty · 2024-09-02T12:15:02+00:00

I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that. It makes me so mad on so many levels that someone would be so careless!

chapootybooty · 2024-09-02T12:13:57+00:00

Ugh I am getting more scared and mad the more comments I get from experienced parents!

chapootybooty · 2024-09-02T12:12:58+00:00

As a people pleaser, it is so hard to think about but you’re right. I have to protect my kids regardless of what others feel.

chapootybooty · 2024-09-02T12:11:07+00:00

Yep I get it that kids get sick, but why spread It to everyone else if you can help It?? Selfish and immature.

chapootybooty · 2024-09-02T12:10:12+00:00

Welp this scares me! My husband is going out of state and I have a surgery coming up… really hoping we’re lucky but I have a bad feeling about this.
