I let my wife, Efiwym, aware that the dresser was ready for painting. We talked about color and decided on a matte black finish. We believed the color black would work well in my grandson’s room. The matte finish was necessary as the dresser had its share of nicks and dents. We were not agreeable…

I reassembled the drawers that were broken. The dovetail joints were still tight, but I was not satisfied with just glue. I put a nail in each dovetail on both sides of the joint with my pneumatic nailer. I had some ¼” x ¾” wood that I used to put blocking on all four corners…

One of my daughters needed a dresser. Efiwym, my wife, told her we had a five-drawer dresser in the basement. We knew that it had seen its days. But Efiwym said she would check it out and see if it could be repaired. We did not know where this dresser originally came from. We had…

Efiwym, my wife, was out doing something she loves to do, bargain shopping. I decided this would be a perfect time to get the shelf in the laundry room cabinet. This should be an easy and fast DIY project. Install some shelf pins, cut a shelf and install. But first I needed to clear out…

Our house has a laundry chute. The chute is located off the floor in the back bedroom. The bedroom room is located above the laundry room. It seems that would be the only appropriate place to put it. It was not the most convenient location, but we used it when the kids were at home.…

DIY Project- Someone Else’s Project – The Patio Door – Finishing Up After a debacle of a day installing the patio door, I headed back to my brother-in-law’s, Evad, to finish up the project. The place looked like someone dropped all their tools and left without finishing the project. Oh yeah, that was me. I…
