As seen on the Vanguard Online this morning, the municipality has broken ground on site of the new 4.89 million dollar building. Despite all the opposition from the taxpayers they have decided to not listen and not wait any longer to investigate other solutions. So, this project that started as a $2m plan has ballooned [...]

Even if you don’t work in the construction industry, it’s still a good idea to own a pair of steel toe boots. Just doing work around the house can be dangerous enough to warrant the extra protection provided by good work boots. Spend over $100 at Met Boots and they’ll ship ‘em to [...]

Even though our house was new when we moved in, the kitchen is very basic. Not enough counter space, not enough cupboards and no place to install a dishwasher. I have some ideas for an addition that would solve most of our current kitchen problems but even that pales in comparison to the [...]

One of our semi-regular customers has built a home theater in his house, complete with home theater furniture, a screen and projector, along with a nice sound system. He comes in maybe once a month to browse through the used DVDs and picks up a handful at a time.
He claims it isn’t just for himself [...]

The basement is getting pretty cluttered here, it’s time to grab some wood and cabinet hardware and get some new shelves up so I can keep things a little more organized. Especially the work area, I’m getting a decent collection of dead game consoles built up and I’ve soon got to try them [...]

When I was building my shelves a few years back I had started out doing most of it by hand. Of course this takes more effort, and being the somewhat lazy guy that I am, I went out and bought some power tools. I find that Makita tools tend to be pretty reliable, [...]

A few years ago I built some new display cabinets for the store since I had run out of room for all the video games we were carrying. I never did get around to putting lights in them but I think I’m going to have to take a little time this summer to finally [...]
