Over the years, we've used Wet & Forget on the siding at Steph's house. We've used a variety of applications methods with varying success. In this video, we try another method that we think is the best, most efficient way to apply Wet & Forget. Check out what we used and the results six months later.

So, here we are, five year later in the same space where we started! Five years ago we posted our first video on March 28, where we shared how to re-screen Steph's porch. This time around, we are cleaning those screens, which since it's been five years, are REALLY dirty!

Follow along as we share the simple method we used, as well as the star of this episode, our new multi-positional ladder!

The beautiful spring weather and the CDC advice to stay home has us working in Steph's yard to make some much needed improvements. 

With the addition of Mac the greyhound a year ago, Steph has needed a more permanent solution to fencing her backyard, which included the need for a backyard gate.

For the gate, we decided to use PVC pipe since there is already a PVC privacy screen on the other side of her house and it would mirror that look. Take a look at how we put it together. (We'll tell you about the fencing in an upcoming post.)

​Take a few minutes to check out the video. This one includes an epilogue.

Sometimes you just NEED to call in a professional!

That's just what we did when we needed all the tile cleaned at my house. The tile has been down eight years and the thing I like about it is also what makes it so difficult to clean. This tile, which I would NEVER, EVER recommend has a lot of texture and that texture traps a lot of dirt that only comes clean with a lot of tedious cleaning. I don't know if you've notice, but I'm at an age where getting down on the floor to clean is just not going to happen!

About six months ago someone I follow on Facebook recommended his brother-in-law's new carpet/tile cleaning business. I tucked that information away and when we needed to find a cleaner for carpets at my son's house, I called Silver Lining Carpet Care and Restoration, which was the recommendation.

Robert Johnson, the owner, did such a great job on the carpets, that I scheduled an appointment to clean the floors at my house.

Since we've been with The Home Depot ProSpective campaign, we've had the opportunity to try many different tools. Some have been different brands of the same tool like drills, others are tools we've never tried before like the scroll saw. 

With this Husky Tap and Die set, we're totally starting from scratch! Not only did we need to research what you can do with it, but how it works! It's been fun to research the possibilities and learning how to use it.

We had a plan to use it, but in the meantime, we found an actual real-life application for it. Follow along as we share how we SUCCESSFULLY used it!
