Steph built a trailer!

When I bought a new car three years ago, we had a hitch installed with the idea that at some point we'd buy a utility trailer to tow. That way, we could easily bring home sheets of plywood and lumber. 

Steph happened to see a folding utility trailer in her friend's garage and was instantly interested. A folding trailer would solve the storage problem associated with trailers. 

She did the research and off to Harbor Freight we went to buy the trailer and accessories.

I would suggest watching the video of the build as this tutorial will only touch on the highlights.

Steph's backyard is small and is totally shaded by large oak trees thus no grass grows back there. The ground is covered with pea gravel in lieu of grass which creates a problem when you try to rake leaves. 

Steph researched a solution and decided this Ryobi battery powered leaf vacuum/mulcher would be a good choice to deal with the leaf cleanup problem in the backyard.

When doing projects that require caulk or construction adhesive, we rarely use up an entire tube. We've tried various means of storage in the hope that we can use the tube for another project. Our efforts to keep the product from drying out have failed time and time again, which led Steph to search out a better option. 

Read on or watch the video to see what we tried and what we ultimately discovered really worked to keep the contents of the tube from drying out!

Both Steph and I don't take care of our yards in any meaningful way. Although we both would like a less weed filled and green yard, we've never tried to sort out the options on how to do that. 

When we were offered the opportunity to work with The Home Depot and Scotts® using just two products, it was an easy 'yes!' We are both looking forward to improvements in our yards this season. 

​Take a look at how you can become your "neighborhood lawn pioneer!"

This custom TV stand was planned with two goals in mind:

1. Hide all the tech including cables and cords
2. Provide storage for all the things previously stored in the coffee table

This build does both, plus it reduces the light from the tech "on" lights! That's a bonus for anyone who has ever spent the night in someone's home office!
