If budget isn’t top of mind when planning most home improvement projects, you might be in for a bumpy ride. The bigger the project, the more you have to have a sense for how great it’ll make your home—and how much it’ll cost to get there. This is especially true if you plan to [...]
“What’s more American than fixing things and inventing things and doing it yourself?” Said Ty Pennington on CNN announcing the Craftsman Make A Difference Truck Tour, which kicks off on National Rebuilding Day in Moonachie, NJ with Rebuilding Together. And Craftsman is teaming up with another iconic American brand—Harley-Davidson—to build some bad a++ tool boxes to do [...]
Warm weather means hose season: Washing, watering, cleaning, Slip ‘N Slide-ing. But your hose has been jammed in your garage/shed/under the porch all winter and it’s a tangled, knotted mess.

When I enter a kitchen—especially a new one—the cabinets are among the last things I look at. Reason is, I want to savor them. And when they deliver an unexpected experience, I’m happy.

One of my fave ways to combat weeds and enjoy my lawn is to get the grass on track for long term health, and I’m glad Pennington has asked me to share some of my tips for getting healthy lawn growing.

Elio Motors‘ new Elio (eel-ee-oh) innovation machine (that’s what I’m calling it) has my attention. First, it’s cool looking…Actually, forget about cool for a minute. If you can. This 84 mpg, 3-wheel, grocery-carting, made in the USA, passenger-hauling bad-boy costs less than some CEOs’ watches—$6,800. Heck, my last tank of gas cost almost that [...]
