Default I've gone off the deep end....

I am replacing all the interior screws with new ones. Bought a screw kit and decided to replace all those ugly headed screws with new pristine ones. My family use to kid me about me being out in the garage tightening all the screws and nuts. Now I really am doing it! :crazy:

I am in the same boat. I just haven`t finished the project. So all my screws are still loose. I have admitted it. Isn`t that the first step to recovery.

I bought one of those interior screw kits also! It has been sitting in its bag in my basement for months! I might have to install some of these screws with paperclips (hole too big).... one of these days.... MJ

Confucius say...

I did that and replaced every light bulb in the dash. You are not even close to the deep end.

Did you get a good deal on the screw set? Or did you get "screwed over"? :lol:

Got screws left over. Did not replace all of them. Guess I am saving up for when I want to be screwed on a rainy day.

Probably paid too much, but then my time is valuable also and where can you get all the sizes at once - if you know what they are without taking all of them out?
