Fix It Yourself

Quick!!

If you’re reading this post on  Friday, head on over to Young House Love. There’s an amazingly detailed and useful review of a lawn care book, and there is a giveaway that ends TODAY!! 

In other news of what he said and she said in blogland this week, bedbugs seem to be a popular topic.  I wonder why?  Are they more active in the summer?  Charles and Hudson has an interesting lead on how to sniff out whether you have any between the sheets at your house. 

In the mood for a totally simple, completely cheap, remarkably clever do-it-yourself project for the weekend?  Check out The Frosted Gardner.  The project has nothing to do with gardens.   

But speaking of gardens, if yours is overflowing with zuchinni, No Ordinary Homestead has a good looking recipe for blueberry zuchinni bread.  I’m definitely going to give it a try. 

And maybe I’ll send some over to the folks at One Lucky Couple.  They’ve been reporting daily on the renovation of their kitchen. Yesterday was Day 22 and you can go all the way to Day 1 and feel like you are living it with them!  A great read for the home improvement junkie who thrives on every bump in the road, the faucet model numbers, and the electrical plan!

Happy weekend!
