One-Man Ping-Pong
We have had so much fun with our one-man ping-pong that I had to share the build so you could have fun with your family as well. First off I want to say that I am the reigning champion of mini ping-pong / one-man ping-pong. I only built our game last Monday, so I’m sure […]
Wood Book Rest / Wood Bookmark
Are you ready to get your summer reading on? In my world, there is nothing better than parking yourself on the patio with a tea (hot or iced) and a good book while the kids run rampant in the yard. It doesn’t happen nearly as often as I’d like, but those few stolen moments on […]
Championship Beer Pong (with or without beer)
We went over to our dear friends’ house the other night and I was (very belatedly) introduced to beer pong. Why have I never played this before? I went to College (and University) and I don’t remember missing any parties when I was there – but the wonder that is beer pong was never introduced […]
Building plans for a table saw stand

I found several raised planters on Pinterest but they were either too low, not long enough or didn’t come with building plans, so […]
Central Vac Hose Reel
I wasn’t going to post this article, it’s just TOO simple. The fact that I haven’t thought of it before today certainly ranks as one of my bigger “Duh!” moments, so there’s also the embarrassment factor. BUT, since I hadn’t thought of it in 13 years of living in our home, perhaps there are others […]
