Besides my beautiful wife and babies, doing projects is one of my most favorite passions. I can get lost in a project for hours, sometimes days.....much to the displeasure of my wife. But she loves it when we she can get wrapped into a project with me. Pretty much most of the projects that you see on here she definitely helped me with in some sort of fashion.
The purpose of this blog is to help others conquer their fear of DIY projects. Just start and go, the best way to learn something new is to try it, be prepared to fail....its OK, I have and I try again, so when you succeed it is so gratifying knowing what you have accomplished and how much money you have saved. Many of these projects I didn't know how to do. So what did I do? I researched, researched.....and researched, then I just started. I probably should admit I am pretty handy in most areas anyway, which helps me in my projects, but most of it I have just learned from reading and putting into practice.
I will always try to put step by step process of how I did the project, cost and materials used. I will rate the DIY level and cost. I will label the cost by $ - $$$$ which means how much the cost is compared to having a professional do it. So just because there might only be 1 $ doesn't mean that it will only cost a couple of dollars but it means that it will save you a bunch.
I encourage you to do some of the projects I post or all of them, but just remember there is always a solution to any problem, you just have to find it.....its out there.
