My wife jokes that I consider my house more of a "project playground" than a home, because I am always working on a DIY venture. My first DIY project was making a simple set of shelves for my son's bedroom, and I was immediately hooked on working with my hands. I moved onto bigger projects, and I recently finished one where I needed a piece of heavy construction equipment to complete the job.

I plan to post often, so I hope you can find something here that helps you!
