I want to thank my Dad
This post is dedicated to my Dad. He’s pretty awesome. From a young age he instilled in me & my brother the value and satisfaction of DIY.
Burnout
OK, it has come to my attention that I haven’t posted ANYTHING in over 7 months. I also have done no projects worth mentioning. I think I’ve done 2, didn’t take any photos of the first, and haven’t posted about the 2nd, even though it’s been > month.
Upcoming Projects for 2021
I have 12 projects planned for 2021. But as you know, that is always subject to change!

Bin Cages for the Mice
Over the summer I came upon a website dedicated to building bin cages for hamsters and other small pets. I immediately wanted to build bin cages for the mice to double the room they have to run around and play at night.
DIY Folding 3-Panel Screen for < $40
This past summer, Jim challenged me to build a 3-panel folding screen for under $40. Actually, it started with him searching online for an affordable screen for the corner of the bedroom, but they all looked [to me] like discount store dressing rooms. He said “if you can build one for less than $40, then go for it!”. And I did 🙂
Replacing the Spider Arm on our Samsung Washer – Part 2
Part 1 took us up the point of removing the spider arm from the Samsung washer drum. It was nearly impossible. The bolts were completely fused to the spider arm and drum. I finally got the old spider arm off and the new one on, and everything is working perfectly!
Replacing the Spider Arm on our Samsung Washer – Part 1
OMG this was a PROJECT!!! One week to dismantle the washer, replace the spider arm, and put the washer back together. Another week to wait for a part we didn’t know needed replacing. But it works great now!
