Kickin' it with home improvement

I saw a new Home Depot commercial on TV last night that implored viewers to "kick your excuses to the curb" and finally finish those home projects they've been meaning to get to (I'm paraphrasing; it was late).

That got me thinking about my excuses for not getting to the projects I have either in-progress or on THE LIST. What I came up with is: time, not having the right tools, inconvenience (tools and supplies live in my basement storage unit and I do all my cutting down there) and a lack of knowledge of exactly what I'm doing.

Of course, time is the biggest of these. I can deal with all the others, but without the time to commit to projects, nothing else matters. As I thought about time, that seemed too generic, so I've broke it down into segments: work, family (in general and watching my daughter during the day) and basic household chores.

So if I were to kick my excuses to the curb, I'd be unemployed and wolves would be raising my daughter. I think I'll just deal with my tortoise-like DIY pace.
