Quickly before we talk about DIY advice, we’ve just completed our first year in the Charity Challenge, and I want to thank everyone for contributing and coming out and supporting us. I also want to thank all of my sponsors for supporting us, although I’m sure you weren’t exactly aware of what you’re getting yourself into. I saw a lot of opportunities for improvement and I’m excited to continue on into next year.

But now for our topic….

Those of you that know me probably realize that I’m not the craftiest person. However, we had a ceiling fan that was in need of a little modern touch. It worked well, it just didn’t match the look of the home. I found a great article on Pinterest that showed me how to repaint a ceiling fan, so I took it down, painted it, and it looked great.

However, when I put the ceiling fan back on it wobbled quite a bit. It turns out that when I took it off or when I put it back on, I broke a very expensive piece on the fan that made it wobble.

The moral of the story is that I now have to buy a new ceiling fan, so an inexpensive repair turned into a very expensive one. Be careful with your DIY repairs!

In the future, I would love to hear about your DIY successes so I can talk about them on this blog. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about real estate in Salt Lake.
