What’s going on guys and gals! If you haven’t noticed from the many different posts in the last week, I am getting married! I had the idea a few months back that it would be a great idea to build a DIY wedding arch for our ceremony. It would be a unique meaningful piece, that could then be repurposed in…
Welcome back to Tool School! In Episode 1, I discussed the must have tools for DIY projects: Power tool edition, where I dove into my favourite power tools, what they are used for, and which particular brand/model is in my shop! I received a few emails about how last weeks article was too focused on tools for the DIYer, or someone…
I am always asked, “What are the must have DIY tools?” There really is no simple answer to this basic question.

It’s been a busy few days at the Beige bungalow and it’s time for an update. We tore down the wall between the kitchen and living room and have been hard at work finishing the main/guest bathroom. I’ve also decided to go a bit crazy and tackle a DIY I’ve never attempted before- I’m going to complete a ceiling repair on…
The time has officially come! Today is the day we remove the wall separating the kitchen and the family room. We have been looking forward to this day ever since we removed the drywall on Day 2. However, if you are lost and don’t even know what house we are working in, head back and meet the Beige bungalow HERE. To…
