Earlier in March, my parents and my son had been following my Wife’s choir tour to the Grand Canyon.  On our return home we decided to make a stop over at Oatman, Arizona. My wife and I have been there before on our waterskiing summers at Lake Mojave about 15 miles away north of Laughlin. ... »

Well, much to my surprise, I was roaming around the house after I put my son to bed and came upon a door, the door looked familiar yet somehow different.  Beyond the door I found my office. We have been using it as a storage room since our remodeling fiasco started. Improvements on the office... »

What’s up Mr. UPS driver man? I ordered a product from the Internet for my wife’s birthday, yeah, okay, her birthday’s in May but I thought I’d start early. I tracked the package yesterday, by the time I left work it said it was out for delivery. Great! When I got home... »

Okay, after about two years, I’ve finally decided to install dimmer switches in the family room. Throughout the house I had been installing dimmers that are X-10 compatible so that they will all be networked through the house’s power-lines and ultimately be controlled by my computer one day. Slowly I am progressing... »

Holy Crap! I didn’t realize how many pages I have that I need to up date and clean up. You’ve probably noticed the change in the website layout.  It’s a long story but I’ve got this up and running again… My ultimate plan is to have one comprehensive site that will link to all my... »

I’ve noticed, ever since having a baby, home projects have become harder to do in the waking hours of our 20 month old son. I have projects upon projects piled up and ready to go but in order for me to start them it is typically after 8:30pm. Lately, I’ve been too tired to... »

Upon installing the Thule Crossbar Rack, I was ready to install some sort of safari basket.  On the market the prices ranged from $60 to $1,800.  I needed something that was robust yet not too heavy and overkill.  Thule had a nice basket called the Moab, however, it sat way too high on the... »

It took me a while to find the right roof-top gear to install on my 2006 Hummer H3. I began searching the Internet only to find very little on racks for a Hummer H3 other than the OEM bars. Those where not what I wanted, I needed something more substantial so that I could... »
