This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Notes -
Whenever I go on trips I see other people's houses. Sometimes they're nice. So it makes me self conscious about my own house.
This week I finally broke down and recaulked a bunch of sloppy caulk jobs in my bathroom. I just watched like 5 YouTube videos and asked ChatGPT and the end result ended up being pretty good. It did take me about... 4 hours to dig out the old caulk though since it was just caulk on top of older caulk.
Today I replaced this old Bosch dishwasher that works fine but it's white and part of it oxidized into beige ancient desktop computer yellow so I ordered a stainless steel Bosch instead. I'm running it now and am impressed that I have no leaks.
These two jobs have been more fulfilling than most computer work that I've done. Maybe I should've gone into general contracting 🤔
Would it be as satisfying if you were doing that work for someone else though?
