This is probably the first blower review that doesn’t show any blowing! Ha! Well the specs are virtually the same on these two blowers, and I wanted to “feel” each of them out. I took a good look at the Makita and DeWalt blowers and after some thought, I decided to keep the Makita. I […]

Our garage/workshop floor was NASTY! I have always wanted to do an epoxy floor coating in the garage but honestly, it seemed way to hard to pull off. I finally decided to make it happen and I am excited to say that it worked! I saved a TON of money doing it myself and we […]

Keeping the Nintendo Switch on the floor was too cluttered so I made this floating shelf out of a piece of walnut that I have had sitting around for years! Now the components are neatly stored under the TV on the wall. Using a “Keyhole Router Bit” I was able to make this project happen […]
