To expand on Max's comment, it appears from your floor plan that you may be able to cut a niche into the storage room, rather like a closet. If so, you could frame a box there open to the kitchen a...

What's on my coffee table depends on what I've grabbed from the oversize shelves at the library this week. Most people don't know about the oversize shelves and sometimes they are sort of hidden in...

We have an IKEA platform bed mounted on casters from Harbor Freight. 3.5" I think, maybe 4" casters. The bottom of the frame clears the hardwood floor by an half inch or so. That's an option for th...

StickMop.com. Cheap.

For equality around the household, everyone should lower the lid. Then everyone has to raise and lower something every visit.

I repaired nailed T&G oak floors and refinished one (those drum sanders can be tricky). And I've done a floating kit floor, and most recently floated bamboo planks with glued T&G. It's all relative...

Perhaps someone could update me on teak. Perhaps it's ok for a marine use, but it doesn't seem suitable (in the green sense) for a typical home. I understand that this couple recycled...

Rather igly.

I've toured Rowan Oak a few times and it's a treat. Note that the scribbled walls are in a back room that he used as his office. I forget the sequence set out in the Fable (the story o...

I lived in snow country for a long time and got used to no shoes indoors. I usually went barefoot most of the time. After I got older and started having painful heel cracks, I read up on all the ho...

Your photo choices are telling. Nary a book or computer terminal or magazine rack in evidence anywhere. I'm afraid I'm one of those who found the building disjointed and would have pr...

I put my Malm on Harbor Freight casters.

Instead of sauce, mine are mostly gathered from binging on three packs of "fancy" cling peaches and I use them for flour, sugars, coffee beans, etc. When I accumulate a dozen or so, I ...

Like Laura above, my wife and I pared down to a 3x5' closet full of stuff during a move almost a decade ago. Once we resettled, it took about 6 months to fill the house and garage up with crap again.

I use white terry towels, often sold as car rags. Cheaper than buying them labeled as "bar" rags, and they are a bit thicker than most bar rags. They work good on my StickMop too. The...

I have an old snowboard mounted on a shelf bracket. However, it's been put to utilitarian use in the garage. In the house, the width would perhaps be more appropriate to...

I put a TV in my fireplace a couple of houses ago. The fireplace was about 18" off the floor and the elevation worked well (and no, I didn't have a VCR tape of a roaring fire for it). ...

A friend hung a carport off the side of one and now has car shelter and lockable storage. It works, but isn't very attractive. I understand that most of these have insecticide impregna...

Sweet - I made a man door out of one half of a futon frame for my garage door leading to a porch.

Sandpoint would be even better if it was in MT or WA (ID is still good ol' boy country politically if you get my drift, even compared to rural WA or MT). But Sandpoint is in a banana belt compared ...
