We’re HomeFixated, so it’s fitting one of our newest advertisers is eReplacementParts.com, a real instigator of fixing things. We’re excited! No, not just because they are paying us to be excited (although that doesn’t dampen our enthusiasm). We’re excited because eReplacementParts.com represents a trend we’ve been noticing in recent years. That trend is in fixing stuff, rather than throwing it away. And many people are doing these fixes themselves. DIY, fixing, power tools. It just doesn’t get much more Home Fixated! [click to continue…]

That got us thinking about natural gas BBQ’s, and in particular, the highly regarded Weber Genesis E-320. Weber graciously agreed to send us the E-320 to review. We’ve been barbecuing like maniacs since and have learned quite a few tasty things in the process. [click to continue…]
Picture this:
Imagine you actually like the people you work with (gasp?). You’ve invited the boss, some colleagues and their spouses over for a weekend barbecue where it’s your mission to dazzle them with your meat cooking prowess. [click to continue…]
