It looks nice, and for the right space it could work (like a pool house or seasonal room), but it's not efficient. Garage doors are not well insulated. The Shutter House project desig...

Nice job. Looks like a great weekend get-away. $3,600 is hard to swallow though.

I think my grandmother's cornbread is the best I've ever had. Being from Abilene, Texas it was never meant to be moist or sweet, but it is meant to be buttered. I don't think she made it from scrat...

It looks great, I love it.

I'm looking for interior glass doors. I definitely agree - I think this can make a nice upgrade. Any good sources? I've seen the Jeld-Wen doors at HD, but are there other affordable options?...

This isn't the best method, but it works for me and my wife. At the beginning of each year I schedule out all income and expenses by major category, by month, using credit card summary info ...

That is a great quote, and I think it's a direct result of the disposable culture America has created over the last several decades. Our society is more about quantity than quality. That's one thin...

Great place, thanks for sharing! Where did you get or how did you do the floating shelves in the kitchen? I want to do an 8' span like that in your kitchen, but don't know what would be sturdy enou...

Karl - (or anyone else) Where are those white floating shelves from? I want some like that for my kitchen. I need something strong enough to hold heavy loads of plates, glasses, etc. at 8' long. (s...
