Spring Lawn Care Tips
Everyone loves a beautiful green lawn. Spring is the time to start the process if you want to enjoy a lawn like the one pictured above. Several of the key items to having a healthy lawn include: soil testing, fertilizing, mowing, aerating and overseeding. While this sounds like a lot of work the payoff can be really great and it's not as hard as you think.
Keeping up with home maintenance is an important process necessary to protect your investment. Spring time is the perfect time to look over the house and make repairs like painting, replacing old trim, and fixing a leaking gutter. Regular home maintenance can help prevent very costly repairs in the future. I've created a list of suggested home maintenance
repairs that should be reviewed on a regular basis. Read more and learn how you can keep up with your house!
Titebond Fast Set Polyurethane Adhesive - Build A Sand Box for the Kids!
While we generally focus on tools we'd be remiss if we didn't spend some time on fasteners and adhesives as they play a big role in what we make. I recently had the opportunity to build a project using Titebond Fast Set Polyurethane Construction Adhesive while building a new sandbox for the kids.
A wise man
once told me glue it and screw it and never worry! Well I put that to the test on this project and thought it would be fun to share with all you DIY mom and dads looking for a fun family project. By the way....the Titebond worked great! Read on and learn how I built this simple sand box!
Milwaukee Introduces Next Generation of Fastback Utility Knives!
Over 5 years ago, the first Milwaukee Fastback utility knife was introduced. I bought a one soon after it was released and I’ve used a Fastback for my every day carry (EDC) ever since. It fits so well in the hand, is very fast to deploy, and has tool-less blade change. The first knife only held one blade, the next iteration held two blades, and now the soon released third iteration holds 5 blades.
Milwaukee assures me that the additional storage doesn’t make the knife any wider than the Fastback 2.
We're pretty excited about this new lineup and think you should as well. Keep on reading to learn all about the new line.
