If you have a passion for woodworking, it likely doesn’t stop when you’re on vacation. For those of you who love this hobby or career to a point of near obsession, we have some wood-related books you’ll love to read on the beach – and not a single one is a how-to! [click to continue…]
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…]
As much as someone who makes her living writing hates to admit it, sometimes a video is much more helpful than a manual. While manuals are certainly useful and should be consulted with for the little details, we like that more and more, companies are developing clips to show their products in action.

I freakin’ love Discovery’s Mythbusters. That show is pretty awesome. They get to build stuff, blow up stuff, make robots, and have a super huge shop with pretty much every tool imaginable. They have even gotten drunk on some episodes. Pretty sweet setup. If you could get past the fact that Jaime seems sometimes…er…gruff–I think it would be a pretty cool gig. It kind of got me thinking…I need to start a bit of DIY busting. You know–test all the myths of home building so you don’t have to. (Plus, they lack a decent carpenter on the show. Some of the buildings they construct–just to blow up could use a bit of pro. HINT).
