Household repair tasks you hate the most
I was installing new blinds in the window of a bathroom in my house this weekend (which I hate to do) and got to thinking about other household repair tasks that suck.
I hate:
Installing window blinds
Painting woodwork (baseboards, doorframes, etc)
Installing ceiling light fixtures
Hanging Christmas lights outside
What tasks do you hate?

chaning the filters for the 2 stage water filter, i have to shut off the main water supply, then drain the pipes, then change the filters, then turn on the water and wait for all of the damn air to leave the lines.
leaves, everything about them, even though i have a leaf blower i hate dealing with them.
hanging lights - i always swear that i'm going to just buy new lights every year, but every year, the boss always gets out the old ones and asks me to hang them.

That would be mine...painting in general frustrates the hell out of me. Also, stripping pain from the side of my girlfriend's house using an industrial heating lamp and something like a putty knife...that sucked ass this past summer when it was already hot outside and it took FOREVER. There must have been at least 30 coats of paint on that house that had to come off so we could sand blast it and paint it properly. |

Anything that involves working on the floor around the toilet, like fixing a leaky commode or cutting tile around a toilet base.
Toddler pee and grease rings. Fun stuff.
