Playgrounds are full of children, and you want your children to be protected in every way possible. One of the best ways to do this is by using rubber mulch instead of traditional mulch on your playground. Using shredded tires or other recycled ru...

So we talked with our project foreman this week, and it appears the great city I live in is requiring an ICC Engineering report for the product we are having installed in our basement. The company has reports for all of the materials separately th...
The demolition continues in this segment, with the jack-hammer getting the best of me. Although I rarely get the chance to rejoice during demo, this time I did. Usually I look at the job and think to myself, “It really doesn’t look THA...
so my cousin was kind enough to come up this past Saturday and help me complete 95% of the demo.All that is left is to finish taking up the linoleum and cutback adhesive (if I can), and apparently now my SO has added replacing the stair treads an...

I bought my Dust Deputy 3 years ago and have been using it regularly since then. Many of you have probably looked at the Dust Deputy and considered purchasing the plastic cyclone with some hesitation, unsure of how it really performs.

Children need open places to play, but a few structures and features can help them stay busy and get active. Since park playgrounds in large cities can be visited by hundreds of children each day, it’s crucial to streamline the maintenan...
Okay. So I was off by a few days. I was going to post this segment several days (week???) earlier, but life got in the way.
Back to the story.

SWMBO told me that the house was going on sale. That sentence translated into – we’re buying it. The house had belonged to her aunt and uncle, and it didn’t matter whether it was something worth buying. After walking through it (...
I grew up in an area about 3 hours north of New York City, and a lot of well-to-do New Yorkers had weekend homes in our rural area. My family lived in a farmhouse built in 1790 that lacked… well… there may have been plumbing in it, but...

Some of my favorite projects to do is turning photographs into wood art. Each piece is unique and has special characteristics that mean something special to the customer. Taking something that a customer loves and turning it into artwork preserves...

Hey everybody!
I have been very busy between working on my client’s projects, squeezing in a project for another contractor, and rebuilding my website.
As if that wasn’t enough, I decided to shoot a video to share with you what my favorite t...
In this video I share some tips and suggestions as I show how I handle and transport some of my projects without damaging them.

I ran into a situation where my clamping needs exceeded my clamp capacities. I did a quick video to share my solution because it might help someone else in their shop.
I hope you find it helpful.

I just finished up the video for applying edge banding to melamine. This video follows Part 1 on how to get clean cuts in melamine, which can be quite a challenge without the right blade and techniques. Once the melamine is cut, often it will need...

Hey Refurbers,
Sorry for skipping ahead but I have long since upholstered the couch I was stripping in the other post. I didn’t have a camera crew available (my 11 year old daughter) and I needed both hands for the work.

It’s been a while since my last update here, but work hasn’t stopped that much. I did get employed, which sucks, but you know, cash flow and all that.
Anyway, I was kinda stalled out so I called in a “final” inspection o...
So we got the plumbing in. Most of it done in a weekend, and it would have gone faster if I’d just sucked it up and bought a Sawzall and started pulling out the old plumbing with that, first.
I settled on the Upinor ProPEX system because ...
Melamine is great for making shelves or perhaps utility cabinets. But getting a cut without a lot of chipping can be a challenge. In this video I share my tools and techniques for creating clean cuts on both sides of melamine.
