About Leroy

LeRoy was born into a long line of contractors/carpenters/missing links which maybe why he fell naturally into tools and fishing with his paws, errr, bare hands. He has since punctured, stabbed or electrocuted every appendage that can be discussed in mixed company. Given his natural fur vest, he has never been cold. In his parallel life he is a mild mannered environmental scientist where he builds, destroys and builds again. Which let’s face it is much cooler than Superman’s parallel life.

Pallet Shelves – Simple Rustic Storage

Pallet Shelves – Simple Rustic Storage

Leroy September 6, 2013 3 Comments

Blame it on Pinterest! Man that thing is a honey-do list extender. Anyway, there my wife was scrolling through the pins when she stumbled upon shelves made from recycled pallets (apparently they are all the rage on Etsy as well). And the next day there I was scrounging through old pallets at work to make pallet shelves. The nice thing is that they’re much more simple to make than the crib that I made that eventually my wife got rid of. Or, the refinished headboard that she didn’t like. Anyway, pallet shelves are aren’t rocket science, but here’s a look at how I made several simple shelves with minimal pain and anguish. Read More

Installing an Attic Fan – Blow the Hot Away

Installing an Attic Fan – Blow the Hot Away

Leroy August 27, 2013 2 Comments

As a preemptive strike against the days of Hades better known as summer I (with some help) decided to install an attic fan. This post is coming a bit late in the season, but even if it doesn’t save you this year, it might be motivation for next summer. It seems that during the summer, Satan vacationed in our ancient attic. Apparently the views are to die for… Get it to die for… Anyway, the attic fan is supposed to reduce costs of cooling up to 30 percent and reduce the temperature in your attic by nearly 50°F. So if we consider a monthly cooling cost of $150 USD during the summer, the savings could be as much of $45, or, buy 2 months get one month free AC. Attic fans also tout the ability to remove excess moisture from the attic, thus better preserving your roof. Not bad for what looks like an over-sized computer fan. Read More
