I am looking for some good inexpensive modern tile for my bathroom. I love the ann sacks stuff, but would love it even beter if it was a little bit cheaper. I would love to do something on the walls with a funky proportion like 3"x12" or 3"x9".

Last week I posted on how I moved the breaker panel so that I could tear down the last wall. Well this Monday, I finally had a chance to get to it. This was probably some of the scariest demo I have done on this house. The wall was a load bearing wall, and a fairly complicated one too. It supported the original roof of the house (a shed roof which has more recently been buried under your standard double pitch roof) a ledger that the ceilin

Well I finally decided to do the drywall myself. Our bedroom/livingroom has had exposed insulation on the ceiling and upper walls for almost a year now. I kept waiting to have enough money to pay someone else to do the drywall, but it never happened.

Just when you thought I was out of walls to knock down. I finally got around to installing our Milgard window in our bathroom. It (like many of our projects) has been sitting in our living room for almost a month now. I didn't really plan on making hole quite that big, but some of the old sheathing was water damaged from the poor installation of the previous window. I ended up just ripping it all out, framing in a new wall and installing t

Lets face it, land lines are on their way out. Most of my friends, and family don't have land lines, they just rely on their cell phones for everything. Since my wife and I have been married, we have never had a landline. Unfortunately that can make for some expensive cell phone bills. So in an effort to save some minutes, especially with the holidays coming up, we got a Skype phone. For those who don't know

I got this arc lamp (knock-off) for my wife for her birthday. It arches over our Poang chair, and makes a happy little spot to relax and read a book.
