   Do you have any such projects in the works? Write about them in this week’s Weekly Topic Inspiration round! Our theme Easy Home Improvement Projects.

      I wrote about 5 Bathroom Decorating Ideas on a Budget, because too frequently I've ran into bland tiny bathrooms and their owners have given up the idea of making them look good because they are so small. My url didn't come out right because I changed the title in the middle and am unsure how to change it but here ya go.  http://tamsr.hubpages.com/hub/5-Practic … sign-Ideas

   I’m looking forward to reading these, not sure if I’ll get one done - it could be a worthwhile challenge though!
   I have written a hub about the WTI, what it is and why to take part, as several people don’t know about it and it took me a while to give it a go. Since it’s not the WTI, I can’t post it here, but Simone I’d be glad if you’d check it over and let me know if you are happy with it, or would like any changes. (I’ll check tomorrow as it’s time for bed in the UK.)

   I have a question--I have a hub that kind of fits this week's theme--partially written and as yet unpublished.  Is there any way to get it to fit into or submit it as part of this week's topic, or not?
   
   I'm guessing not, as it would have had to go through the links...and since I already started writing it, ... ... ...  Hmmmmm....
   
   Well...when I do finish it up, is it still ok to post it in here anyway, or is that "against the rules?"
   
   Oh, and a "P.S." question--if I am writing for the 30-in-30, can that overlap with WTI, and post in both forums?

          I guess I never thought about taking pictures while doing it, just wanted to get the job done. 
          Like to have people use their own mind to picture what it is like, that way it makes them think and focus about what they are doing.
          Guess that's why I don't have an avatar.  Want people to imagine me however they want in their own mind, rather than have a preconceived notion based on an avatar.

             Thanks! It has been fun writting these. We have had each other in stiches for days now coming up with ideas. Must have been too many years hunting, fishing and camping. This wouldn't have been near as funny without my siblings and mom. Hmm, I forgot to ask my brothers for their redneck tips. Oh well, I'll save that for another hub.

    OK - here is my second (and probably last) submission on this WTI:
    
    http://stephhicks68.hubpages.com/hub/Bu … -Beginners
    
    I wrote this from my perspective as the one in the family that does the cleaning and laundry, but not home improvement projects.  I would feel comfortable attempting any of these projects and they are all pretty affordable for new homeowners.

       Hi another great Hub, I always forget to buy spares of things like handles and knobs and am frustrated to find they are no longer sold when i need more. Must remember to buy more. Good job on the hub.

          Thanks - and yes, we learned that tip the hard way (buy extra of what you need).  For that matter, stock up on lightbulbs, batteries and more when they go on sale.  I'm so practical.  I must be a mom.

    Hi everyone!
    
    I've written two topics about kitchen improvement before this WIT came out. So I thought of making another one to complement the hubs I've made previously. Here is the link: http://cliffmendrez.hubpages.com/hub/Ma … ll-Kitchen
    
    I grew up in a relatively small house with a small kitchen. I thought making a hub about maximizing space in a small kitchen would be of help to other people in the same situation as I am. I hope you find time to read and enjoy my hub.
