Weekend Projects

Weekend projects are just that - projects that can usually be completed in a couple of days. Build a raised garden bed, install a pet door, or go BIG and build a backyard BBQ Bar!

Learning how to fix things around your home yourself can either be a real blessing or an infernal hindrance! We all want to be able to say we did something ourselves, but let's be realistic folks - we rarely do anything all by ourselves! There's always mom and dad, neighbor Tom, and cousin Jimmy (who happens to be a fantastic plumber) helping when we need it.

And when we really need it, out comes the Yellow Pages or Service Magic...or perhaps HGTV. Do-it-yourself projects should really be called "do-it-ourselves" projects! Nonetheless, these projects get us learning, and that's what's really important...aside from getting the toilet to stop leaking.
