I often get asked how I afford my tools. So I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I don't buy all of them/spend big bucks for them!

I found an amazingly gorgeous piece of wormy maple wood at a local lumber yard. I got it for my mom because she needs a new table over her washer and dryer. The last one ended up being, unfortunately, destroyed when we had to swap out her washer and dryer due to some poor decision making not on my part. So, I'm going to take you along with me while I turn this into a laundry room table.

We have a very awkward, narrow, and long side yard. I've talked before about my plans for it and how I want to change up the mulch and the mud and just add more space for us to be able to hang out here. Another thing that I wanted to do was to add a shed. I wanted a place to put our bikes and get stuff off of the patio that we have at the moment and be able to utilize that space.

I'm back again with another tool tutorial. Today we are talking about the Ryobi 15 AMP, 12.5 inch Corded Thickness Planer.

We've had our tile mat for over three years. Every time that I make a new tile mat design I get lots of questions about it. So I thought I would answer the FAQ for you here!

My daughter's current hyper-fixation is birds. She informed me about a month before her birthday party that she wanted to have a phoenix costume for her birthday party. So I decided that since we were doing spring break at home this year, we would gather supplies and work on it during spring break. Let me show you what we did.
