In this weeks video, I am tackling those odd jobs that we all have around the house. I am doing some house maintenance, from resealing my sink to replacing my lightbulbs. We all have those odd jobs that we put off in our home, I would love to hear that is yours?
In this video, I tackle painting my concrete greenhouse base, patch up my fence, I fix the sealer in my bathroom, replace my toilet seat and more.

You are so efficient and I admire you for the things you get done. 2 of my sisters and I started helping each other once a week with odd jobs. We have been doing it for about a month. We meet at one of our houses, work a couple of hours, then go to lunch and/or shopping. We are accomplishing so much. We are all in our mid-70s and our energy levels aren’t what they used to be so this is a great solution for us. We are lucky to have each other.

@DaintyDiaries 3 года назад

That is such a kind thing to do with each other and I’d say you have loads of fun doing it together

@bossanova2846 3 года назад

Great idea! :)

@oceanbrzzz 3 года назад

@janetbyrne7765 3 года назад

Wonderful idea. If you don’t have sisters you can do it with other single girlfriends. So I will see what my single girlfriend has to say about the idea. She’s not as old as I am, but I have the skills and tools!

@josimpson7999 3 года назад

Hey Catherine, I don’t know if you know, but a little tip for you when replacing bathroom sealant - If you put a strip of masking tape either side of the crack to be sealed, it allows you to apply your sealant in a very straight line and only as wide as the separated tape. Remove the tape before sealant dries. Works a treat! 😊🇬🇧

@CatCaretakerID 3 года назад

Great tip -I'm about to reseal around the base of my tub and this will protect the floor tiles.

@kimonaNo1 3 года назад

You can also cut off a corner of a loyalty card (not your bank card!) to an angle and use that to smooth off the sealant, it gives it a nice slanted finish, and the water will just run off it.

@MCombs57 3 года назад

You are a “hard labor working girl” and I admire you immensely. It all looks great!

@emmawakley5487 3 года назад

I loved this video!! An incredible, strong woman who does things for herself. I would love to see a series of you showing how to do odd jobs. Like filling holes, using a drill to hang pictures, how to tile, changing a washer in an outdoor tap (this is currently on my to do list). Giving people the confidence to give things a go themselves. Xx

@lilmorningglory 3 года назад

I was just changing the washers outside. Not too hard. If you just get a variety pack...you'll have every size you need. 🤍

I'm 5' & hate getting on the ladder so lightbulbs burnt out in my house? Oh yeah, there are to many of those I need to get to this week. The other thing is cleaning out the roof gutters! Miserable grimy job but has to be done before fall arrives. I just freshened up all the caulking & cleaned/filled in all the grout so that's a annual summer job ticked off the list. The other summer job is thoroughly cleaning the fireplace/woodburners & getting the chimneys all cleaned out before fall arrives when I'm back to using them. Lastly is checking all the weatherstripping & replacing where needed then I think I'm done.. for now anyway. Maintenance, as any homeowner knows, is never ending.

A suggestion for a light bulb broken in socket, cut A potato and stick it in socket and turn to remove broken bit . It works all the time and you don't risk electrocution. Easy-Peasy🤔

@karenrickard8237 3 года назад

Love this video. Mine are: sewing on buttons or repairing a dropped hem. Washing and vacuuming the car (in the summer when it's just too hot), oh and sorting out "The drawer", you know the one you put everything in until you can be bothered to find a permanent place or file/archive it. Getting rid of bed linen you no longer use because it might come in handy if someone stays. I'll stop now as just realised I have more than I'm comfortable admitting too 😬. Well done Catherine and live to you and yours xxx

@DaintyDiaries 3 года назад

@lesley-annmaggs15 3 года назад

Entertaining as always. Don't do yourself done girl! You may not know the words for things BUT you certainly know how to fix the thingy & when to call the experts in. You're also very clued up about safety around the house & your wonderful Irish way ( a compliment) of explaining makes things so easy to understand. My house is full of thingys, whatsits, oogits, doofs... you get the idea! We love you here in our house. My granddaughter who lives with us follows you too, she adores you and loves wearing feminine dresses like yourself! What I'm trying to say is don't stop being you!! You really are an inspiration!!! Love, light, truth & hugs. LxX

To get the piece from the bulb out of the socket - cut a piece of potato and put inside, twist around - ‘lefty loosey’, righty tighty, and the piece will come out with the potato.

My outstanding jobs are: painting a mark on the ceiling made by water leakage which was fixed two years ago, hanging a picture which has been propped up against the wall for over two years, and tidying that drawer in the kitchen which ends up full of junk and won't close properly. Well done for getting your jobs done, and a great idea using the fencing like that. That is another job which I need to do actually...

@neweverymorningmercy3491 3 года назад

Catherine...the paint roller that you used should have a threaded hole at the end of the handle that will screw into any broom handle...which you can unscrew from your broom. I don't know if it's the same in Ireland but here in Canada...they make paint rollers to fit any standard size broom handle.

@carolmiller8811 3 года назад

I need to paint the concrete floor of both my front and back porches. My number one procrastinated job is to finish painting my kitchen cabinet doors, have my hubby install the refurbished hinges, and get the doors back on my cabinets! Uggghhh.... I wish you were here to motivate me and cheer me on! Can't wait for your greenhouse! ❤

I did buy new packs of furnace filters today and replaced the old one. I usually do this once a month, but that is an easy peasy job!! I buy the new LED light bulbs and they last so much better than those older kinds do. Hardly ever have to change a bulb now! I do need to put new sealer around the bottom of my bath tub. Thanks for the reminder! You are a handy person around the house Catherine!! Well done!

@dorothymarquis7529 3 года назад

I am intrigued what you are willing and able to tackle in fixing and maintaining your property. You are an example to all of us. I always take the light bulb to the hardware store when I need to replace them. In South Africa we may only use the new LED light bulbs. These last a long time, slowly getting dimmer before all charge disappears. Because of this it is pointless laying in a store of light bulbs ahead of time. My light fittings and lamps use different shapes and sizes, some screw-in, others pronged, which adds to the confusion. We also have very hot weather here in summer but I have not thought of gardening in my PJ's. I think I am just too old.

@thatswhatisaid8908 2 года назад

Admiring the way you unscrewed that broken light fitting. If it was me, i would have howled and rung one of my kids. Standing on a ladder is bad enough, let alone knowing which way to unscrew, things seem back to front to me unless they are at eyelevel. I don't know why. Good on you. I am ignoring house jobs as busy in the garden and doing some sort of carpentering things.

I call them faff jobs. Yes I'm the same but I'm managing to tick loads off my list, mostly because I'm getting married in 12 days time & were having a garden party. I've got to pull out the sofa, repaint the steps by the front & back door, cement in the kids new garden swings, find homes for random bits of clutter across the house & sort out my airing cupboard - I think you Irish call it something else.

@leonor9379 3 года назад

Salutations Catherine, The odd job I did recently was re-doing my sun-damaged Stainless steel grill. I removed all the rust spots with Bar Keepers Friend. This is a cleaner and polish. It works like magic! Once I was done, I washed the whole grill with Dawn soap and let it dry. I then took a wired brush and removed all the rust from frame that holds the grill together and also where the gas is located. Prep the areas to be painted and gave them two coat of Black Rust-Oleum spray paint. The grill looks brand new again!

The switch for our immersion heater was in the hotpress in the bathroom. My brothers would turn it on but never remembered to turn it off. Dad added another switch in the kitchen which had to be turned on first. That way it was easier to see when it was left on. They are so expensive to run.

I just bought some willow fencing for my patio. I have put a cattle panel arched over the concrete, secured with t-bars, like yours and now I'm putting the willow over the top so it will be a little cooler. I'm in Texas and it's 9am and the temperature is already 83 degrees, 28C. It's supposed to be 98 degrees this afternoon. And 101 tomorrow. That may be one reason we are all addicted to ice cubes! Good videos, thanks,

A motivating video! I've been putting off painting the laundry room...for about 2 years! 😊 I don't have air conditioning, either. I have fans, wear shorts and tank tops to stay cool. Have a good day, Catherine!

Any time someone starts looking at buying a house, I try to explain how many expenses (regular and unexpected) there are to owning a home. We have a service that charges monthly, but will check our heat/air/electrical/plumbing etc. throughout the year. If we need to call them, we don't have to pay for the service fee, just the cost of parts and labor. We have come out way ahead every year!!

@DaintyDiaries 3 года назад

That's brilliant! Always the best when you can cut costs some way or another delighted for you ❤️

I replaced lightbulbs all over the house just today! Some had just died, and some 3ways had stopped working except for one way. I really need to take down all of my window coverings to wash, clean my ceiling fans, and sand and refinish the entry way doors - they look terrible on the outside! Big task ... remodel my bathroom. You are always an inspiration!

I need to pressure wash mold that gets on the garage trim and a small part of the house gable. Thankfully the handyman is coming next month once my kitchen faucet comes in from backorder to replace it and patch a leak in my metal roof. Have a blessed weekend ahead!

Ha ha, I never would have guessed you're in your pyjamas but then I live in Australia and am very accustomed to seeing (and wearing) tiny tops in hot weather. Catherine you are an absolute inspiration and really prompt me to just get on with lots of jobs around my home. Thank you for your channel ♥

@nancyring8104 3 года назад

I have a long, long list!! Unfortunately, I am very lazy, so it’s slow going!! I could use some of your energy!❤️

@DaintyDiaries 3 года назад

I hope you get through it all ❤️thanks for watching xx

Mine is cleaning the gutters. It needs it. I know it does. I just don’t want to get on a three story ladder to do it.

@DaintyDiaries 3 года назад

Oooh, I hear ya, now last year I paid someone to do mine. They have special tools to get up high, wasn’t too expensive either x

I've had my twisty bulb part break off before. I did what you did. Turn the breaker off and use needle nose pliers. It feels good when we fix things!! ❤️

Thank you so much Catherine for motivating me to sort my odd jobs. Mine is the drawer off doom that contains everything! In fact I have two of them🤣 I’m off to sort them out now . Take care.
