MyFixitUpLife home improvement
What's Best in Home Improvement Entertainment: Radio, Video, Print, Online
I spend a lot of my time on a home improvement project trying to be efficient, trying to save steps so I can do my best work in the time we have allotted. It’s sometimes boring to clean up a small mess than to keep walking over it and kicking it around, but at the [...]
Mark & Theresa are rolling back with a MyFixitUpLife Rewind to share interviews with three of their most-asked-about guests from 2011: Ty Pennington, Mike Holmes, and Norm Abram. So gather your thoughts, grab your megaphones, and step into your bib overalls. It’s time to take it down, go over to the mortising jig, and to [...]
You’re going to love this. Here is a tool review of a brand new tool that I’ve had in my pouch for XX years…I mean xx years…since high school, how’s that? I bought my first tape along with my first tool apron and hammer at Town Paint and Supply—a place that was old then. (And [...]
I still have sap on my hands from making the MyFixitUpLife “tree.” I borrowed an idea from timberframers who nail a tree branch to the frame as they build it, in honor of the trees that supplied the wood for the home. In some ways it is emblematic of those who won’t be with us [...]
We love our new front door and the energy-upfitted room is keeping us warmer than ever this winter. But without molding, the story is only halfway done. Molding is, in some regards, the bow on the package, the S on Superman’s chest. It’s often the first thing you see. Yet, at the same time, it [...]

I’m addicted to making candy wreaths. For this year’s holiday edition of delicious-looking joy, I’ve opted for Spice Drops. Here’s how I made this sweet-looking celebration of sugar. I used a styrofoam ring, hot glue, ribbon, and a bag of spice drops in red, green, and white. – Glue the spice drops to the ring. [...]
Here is a space heater that looks really, really cool. Made by Prestyl USA this is more flat-panel-TV-Meets-High-Art than a utilitarian plug-in heat-hydrant. The technology, according to Prestyle USA is a highly efficient and maintenance-free “far-infrared, thin-film technology.” I don’t know what this means, but it has been used in aircraft, ships, trains, homes and [...]
