On April Fool’s Day, I showed you some of the things I wanted to accomplish in my outdoor space this spring. You may well have thought me a fool to try and tackle as much as I planned by myself, but I’ve managed to make some pretty good progress in the past 4 weeks….
Refinishing a table can be an easy DIY project, that is both quick and inexpensive, especially if your main problem is the table top. I refinished the tops of my side tables one evening and they were ready for regular use the next day. I would like to note that I would be very reluctant [...]

Did you know, you can use common bubble wrap as insulation for windows? I had heard of this trick to save energy before, but had never actually gotten around to trying it. While most of the windows in my old Victorian era home have been replaced, with more energy efficient double pane windows, there are [...]

We live in an old Victorian home. It has lots of unique style that I love, but like most houses from the era, can be a bit of an energy pig. Most of the windows have been changed out to energy efficient ones and insulation was blown in a couple years ago. Over the last [...]
About a week ago, as I was folding laundry in the basement, water began to drip through the floor above me. I was running a dishwasher load at the time, so this was a rather bad sign. I went upstairs and sure enough, the dishwasher was leaking water all over the floor… ugh. Spewing a [...]
