We hope all of our American friends had a safe and enjoyable Labor Day! Our weekend was filled with family visits and some much needed down time. Today we’re going to show you how we finished up our new garage outlet and how we added a workbench charging station. Let’s start with the garage outlet. […]
When we built our home back in 2010, we had the option of adding as many additional electrical outlets as we wanted among some other bells and whistles. Code requires a minimum number per so many feet, but any more than that bare requirement came out of our pocket. In retrospect we probably should’ve added […]
When we recently redesigned our blog theme, one of our goals was to have an index of all our DIY projects. Ideally, when readers and new visitors land on our site, they shouldn’t have to look very hard to find our project posts. To that end, we installed the Catablog Plugin after reading Taryn’s post […]
We’ve been slowly plugging away at our garage clean up effort. There are a couple projects I don’t think we mentioned yet that are post worthy. I just finished adding a compressed air system that allows me to relocate the 30 gallon compressor from the garage into the basement. I’m also adding an electrical outlet […]
Relax everyone. We didn’t sell our current house. We aren’t going anywhere. I’m talking about our first home. Lately, I’ve been a bit under the weather so we haven’t done a whole lot of home improvement work around here. I’ve been going through a lot of our old posts and noticed we never really discussed […]
Back to home improvement projects. One of the big goals we had in our Spring and Summer Plans post was to really straighten out our garage situation. When we started, it was cluttered, loaded with spiders and insects and needed to be cleaned as well as repainted. So far this summer, we managed only a […]
There are a number of projects that I wish I never put off after we moved in our new home three years ago. This is one of them. We’re talking about UV window film. To make matters worse, we bought the material for this project over a year ago. This thin, cellophane like plastic wrap […]
Hope everyone had an outstanding holiday weekend. We spent the last few days hanging out with family and hit up the shore for a little while. Other than some sunburn, we couldn’t have asked for a better time. Since we finished the built-in in our sitting room a few months ago, we’ve been spending a […]
This past weekend, between family reunions and thunderstorms, I was able to validate a new idea for keeping bugs out of my garage windows. As I mentioned in my last post on this topic, we get a good amount of bugs in the garage. We live in a rural area and are up against a […]
Summer is in full swing around here, which means just about every weekend we have some sort of family activity. Certainly not complaining. Given the choice between spending time with family or working on my house, I’ll choose hanging out with my family 100 times out of 100. Consequently, our DIY projects have been relegated […]
