Agree that Longoven is the only one BUT...they don't quite get a Michelin star. When they're on their game, yes, but they have too many misses. For the star you need a stellar experience every time. I've had a few amazing experiences there and a few good-to-great ones.

I was too... But I figured if I need to fix it, it's already broken anyway. Worst case scenario I need to fix it a little more.

Nobody would have ever called me handy before I learned to do the stuff. There's no natural skill involved. You just have to start. You'll make mistakes, but there is very little in home improvement that can't be fixed by trying again.

Another great tool rental place is “the shed” out in goochland. They don’t have as many tools but they are in newer shape than Home Depot. And a bit cheaper I have found as well.

Someone mentioned this and I didn’t know about them so I’ll be checking that out, thanks!!!

I’d love to help out and learn if you really don’t mind. I will be a bit useless at first but I’m a quick learn, detail oriented, and great at following instructions. Please dm me details, really appreciate the offer!

Thanks for the suggestions!

I have already patched small holes! It was very exciting and I think I did a good job! I particularly enjoyed the sanding part for some reason LOL

Thanks!

I wish I was as handy as you but I’m scared of doing things wrong or messing up on my own 😭

Didn’t know about this, thanks!

Thanks!

I want to definitely start slow! Thanks!

Thanks!

I’ll check this out, thanks!

Those would have been so helpful!

Unfortunately they don’t even know when they might restart those, if ever.

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll check them out!

I have watched lots of videos but some stuff (wood cutting for example) I’m a bit scared to do on my own.

I didn’t know you could rent tools! Thanks!

Im hoping to start low budget and thrifty lol

Thanks for the suggestions! I am trying to start from very easy diy and slowly work myself up to slightly more difficult tasks. I don’t want to go in over my head tho!

Yeah shame him for being a fucking hypocrite instead.

So many people have linked all the links in other comments but here is one since you don't want to read thru those https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/flsa/tips

Volunteer with Habitat For Humanity! I have some experience with home improvements but I volunteered with a bunch of other people that know nothing. They'll teach you how to use tools, techniques, etc. It's really a great experience and in the end you'll have built a house for someone!

What if kink-shaming Jerry Falwell Jr is my kink?
