Getting ‘smart’ about garden storage

How to install a smart lock

This post is a paid partnership with Lowe’s Home Improvement, but I’m responsible for all of the opinions expressed here as well as the horrific state of my garage when this all started.

It’s always interesting to look back at the successes and failures (and everything in between) of the […]

ORC WEEK 5: MORE TIME, PLEASE!

This is the part of this six-week challenge where I’ve come to the full realization that there will be no major reveal in a week. Not a complete one anyway. This has been a frustrating project in that regard because nothing is seeming to come easily. I would guess this is more typical of most […]
