Cat Scratcher
DIYI don't think I want to know the cat that doesn't want a tall kitty scratching post/condo thing to climb on and play in.
Privacy Wall
DIYAfter our home addition project a few years ago, our air conditioning unit was just left sitting exposed in the back of the house. Being so close to the pond and playing area it was kind of an eyesore, so I built this little privacy wall to hide it.
Outdoor Dining Table
DIYOur old outdoor dining table was an old, metal and glass hand-me-down - and it was falling apart. So I decided to build a new one. Seemed like a fun project, and it was!
Closet To Mudroom Conversion
DIYI converted a not-very-useful closet to a much-more-useful space by converting it into a mudroom area, with a bench, lots of storage, and coat hooks.

2018 Bike TourI'm writing this post a bit early today. It's only 3pm, and right now I'm occupying a little corner of the Dunkin' Donuts in Newark. Free wi-fi and awesome donuts! I wish we had these in Los Angeles - these donuts are delightful.

So Much Rain
2018 Bike TourAfter my last entry last night, I was all cuddled up and ready to fall asleep in my tent. I was the only person in the park at Lock 20. I was looking forward to a good night's rest. It didn't happen!

Dollhouse
DIYBack in 2015 I had the idea to create a dollhouse for Alice's 3rd birthday. I didn't really have a plan for it or anything, just had some extra plywood and the idea in my head for what I wanted it to look like.

The DIY projects are insane. This site saved my marriage.

I check this site regularly for new content and then I copy it and pass it off as my own.
