My DIY /Home Improvement Story

One of my first “DIY” projects was completed with my Mom. We were living in a very old duplex in my hometown and I remember wanting to build a go cart. I found some plans in a book at the library. My resourceful Mom had the lumber yard cut the parts for us. We used a hand operated drill to drill holes needed and with some effort constructed said go-cart. Little did I know that years later I would finish a futon, paint rooms, refinish furniture, stain decks, build/repair kitchen cabinets and many other projects.

I hope you enjoy my adventures in DIY as we research, hire and/or complete projects ourselves.

I am a fan of Mike Holmes and the DIY Network.
