Some People Should Not DIY - How our kitchen recovered from bad DIY.

Nearly a year ago, I walked into the kitchen and found water oozing up between the tiles on the floor. That was from a poorly installed floor, a broken supply line to a dishwasher, a dishwasher that was installed in a really bad location to begin with, and a lot of spray foam. Basically, a former homeowner's DIY projects had added up to disaster. It took six months of cooking all of our meals in a microwave before we got any of our kitchen back together, and now a year later, we finally have a beautiful new kitchen with some updates. Well, mostly, we are still waiting on some cabinet doors. But other than that, it is beautiful.

The moral of the story is: DIY can be fun, and can sometimes be cheaper, but when it comes to important things like plumbing, electrical, or structural projects, make sure you know how to do your DIY correctly, or you might suffer later. Or another person will suffer from your DIY mistakes.
