96 Land Cruiser Seat Organizers

9/2023- I made another set of these for our new Rav4 Prime UPDATE 5/27/19: We just got back from the 2019 Overland EXPO 10 year anniversary and testing out the seat organizers and other various upgrades recently made. By far I loved having the organizers and additional attic space. It greatly reduced the amount of [...]

Single Pane Window Insulation and More

I will explore making my own Window and door Draft Stoppers, thermal insulated curtains, ½ in EMT conduit curtain rods and finials, and no drill options for hanging the curtain rod and hardware. Our 100 year old historic home has very drafty single pane windows, over 48 windows to be exact. I love the way [...]

Customized Textiles

This method can be used to make table runners, place mats, curtains, or any number of other household textile items. For me this started because I wanted a small rug in front of my coffee table. The problem was that no store bought rug seemed to fit the 15 inch space between the couch and [...]

½ in EMT Curtain Rod and Finials

Since my windows are 11ft wide I needed a viable option for a curtain rod that can span the distance, be strong, and light weight. This left me looking at using ½ inch EMT Conduit. I can’t express how excited I was to save money on making my own curtain rods and seeing the finished [...]

Locked out of Word Press

I consider myself very new to online blogging and with that comes some growing pains. One of my more recent issues was locking myself out of my Word Press (WP) site after trying to change my primary domain name. I made the mistake of logging into the WP-admin, going to settings and changing the domain [...]

Metal Privacy Fence Panels

There are a lot of great fence building tutorials out there so I am not going to spend a lot of time covering how to build a fence. Instead I want to share with you the helpful steps that I discovered while building our metal panel privacy fence. I will discuss the building differences worth paying [...]

Raised Gabion Garden Bed

Gabion Garden Wall I worked on building this wall during Cody’s end stage cancer, which helped to give my mind something to focus on other than facing the inevitable loss.
