I just bought this damn thing, and after only a few minutes of use, it started oozing scalding hot grease out of the motor. Not only did it burn my fingers, but it made an extra difficult mess that I got to clean up.

I don’t know if I’ve written about the hole in my bathroom floor and wall in this blog, but I’ve had a hole in my bathroom floor and wall for over a year. I’ve been putting off repairing it because I don’t have money to remodel a bathroom and buy new flooring for the bathroom, bedroom, and living room – all of which were affected by the initial flood – and I just don’t know where to start. I’ve never done tile work before, and I don’t have enough tiles to replace the ones I broke when I opened up the wall. So, that poses a big problem, too.

Today, I used the multitool to remove the grout so I could pop out seven tiles. I managed to save three of them. I cut the hardboard and drywall back to a stud, so I can patch the hole in the wall. I feel like I moved the needle on this project slightly, but I still feel like I’m way over my head.
