Be Janet's profile

Hi fellow Be Jane'ers. My biggest DYI project was to remodel my 1930s bungalo during grad school. The physical demand was a great way to counter balance the mental drain!! My health has demanded a slow down though, both due to budget and ability. My current project is to remodel a travel trailer!! It is small and easier in some ways, but has its own set of challenges!! If any of you have not swung your hammer for Habitat for Humanity yet, you are missing out on something marvelous. You may learn some new skills and you definately would gain some pride. And a deserving family would gain a home! Its good to be part of such a talented group of women!! Just call me, Be Janet

Of course no one has come out with the faux finish yet (at least not that I can find in my little town). Do any of you Be Janes have any creative thoughts for me? I'd appreciate any help. ..."
