I remember when I first started thinking … Read more
It’s one of those household puzzles that can really drive you nuts: you notice a damp patch on your carpet, and you have no idea where it’s coming from. No spills recently, no leaky windows… just a mysterious wet spot. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. As someone who spends a lot of time tending … Read more

Okay, fellow homeowners, let’s talk about one of those less-than-glamorous DIY projects that often pops up in older houses: the dreaded toilet leak.

As someone who loves making my home work smarter, not harder, I’ve been playing with a new project: a DIY Family Command Board.
