It’s hard to believe that there is yet another way to add a tool to a Leatherman®. I mean, look at that thing! It’s straight out of a James Bond movie.

Can You Fix This?2
March 30, 2011 – 4:59 pm
Admittedly, I am not the handiest FixItYourself-er. As a result, fix-it projects at my house take a long time. This past weekend, I got a burst of motivation. After all, a long-put-off -home-improvement project is still better than taxes. And, the in-laws are coming to visit next week. But, it didn’t take very long before we got [...]

Cast Iron Cookware0
March 28, 2011 – 10:44 am
I grew up on cast iron cooking. I can remember my parents picking up a great Dutch oven at a farm sale shortly after we moved to eastern Kansas in the mid-1960s. That Dutch oven cooked up the best spaghetti sauce and stews.

March 25, 2011 – 12:23 pm
I love beadboard. We’ve used it in a number of room renovations around the house including the bathroom, master bedroom and upstairs hallway. It’s a relatively quick way to cover a multitude of evils. And the end result is a nicely finished wall.
A Garden Tool That Works!0
March 21, 2011 – 10:42 am
Shoveling dirt is hard work, and while I don’t mind hard work, I confess that I am not opposed to finding ways of making difficult jobs a bit more pleasant. I’m guilty of trying the occasional shortcut, which usually fails miserably—and teaches me a lesson in the process. But I’m also an advocate of trying [...]
Free Pallet Wood0
March 20, 2011 – 9:44 am
The frugal woodworker has a keen eye for wood sources. If you are heading out for a Sunday drive, don’t pass by a stack of wood with “Free” next to it. Many times we’ve loaded up the trunk with scraps of pine bark slabs that make great rustic birdhouses. A heap of old cedar fence [...]
Home Improvement from Ivekt0
March 19, 2011 – 10:09 am
I don’t know exactly how to start this article. I suppose I’ll give you my perspective straight up: There’s a crazy guy from Moldova (Not Russia! He makes sure you know that!) who has a series of short videos on YouTube about various home maintenance and improvement. The guy’s name is Ivekt, and his lessons are titled “Domestic Home Hint.” Is [...]
