By DIY Maven

I want a new workbench
By tmgeorgoI'd like to get a new workbench for my garage. The bench I've been using for the past four years is a leftover from the previous owner of my house and is a fairly sturdy DIY version but with limited storage and power. He/she took three particle board vanities and screwed them together, then fastened a thick sheet of MDF across the top of all three.
I'd like to have one with a nice wood top, an open shelf and some drawers underneath, and a pe » READ MORE

Glass garage, anyone?
By DIY Maven
The T-Bone House, designed by COAST, is located near the German town of Waiblingen. It has all those earth-friendly features, like geothermal heating and a rain water recycling system. It also has great views of the surrounding countryside. So, if it’s so environmental, why does the home have a glass garage that draws the focus to an antiquated form of energy consumption? Because the car in that particular garage is a 1974 Porsche Targa, the homeowner’s pride and joy. V » READ MORE

This is a garage
Are you reading me? It's a GARAGE!
And some guy's wife went and made the floor all checkerboard and installed sissy-white cabinets and put everything all anal-retentively neat. He must be so ashamed.
Now see, I would pretend not to notice if I went to their house. Because this is just so wrong.

Find Extra Storage Space for Bulk Items.
By ChrisjobA few weeks ago, we won a one-year membership to a discount club at a charity event. (Thankfully, not the one owned by WalMart.) So, to be appreciative of our 'luck', we redeemed the membership, got some fancy photo IDs, and made a few purchases. With only two people in our home, we haven't much use for perishable products, like a five gallon jug of mayonnaise or a gross of Bubbletape, but we did pick up some paper products, cause there's nothing » READ MORE

How to have a yard sale (and make a few bucks, too!)
By badbadivyI was reading this post, and I realized people might benefit from a "how to have a yard sale" post. As the post says, yard sales are not for getting rich from. They're a good way to get rid of your excess crap. But with some good merchandising, you can generally make a little money from your yard sale, too.
- Set up your yard sale in advance. Yard salers start shopping at the crack of dawn, and are usually finished shopping by noon, so having it a » READ MORE
Garage Envy
By DIY Maven
Apparently one of the fastest growing segments of home remodeling concerns the part of home in which we don’t actually live: the garage.
Oftentimes the first ‘room’ greeted by guests, the underutilized, forlorn garage is having it’s day in the sun. Companies devoted strictly to the beautification of garages are springing up everywhere. They offer kitchen-quality cabinetry with European hinges, specialty organizers–including grid walls and bike h » READ MORE
