DIY Bathroom Projects

I love diynetwork.com. There are so many creative and inexpensive ideas that just about anybody with a small amount of mechanical abilities can tackle. Take for instance this article at:  https://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/rooms-and-spaces/bathroom/the-10-best-diy-bathroom-projects-pictures .
