About Me:
I'm a tinkerer... there's nothing, really, that I won't take apart and try to put back together! In 2006 my wife and I bought a 1974 home that (I thought) just needed some cosmetic enhancements. Turns out that was way wrong! By the time we're done, almost every room in the house will get some kind of renovation. Stay tuned for all the project updates!
Favorite area of home improvement:
I'm learning it all! So far, I've learned that I can't stand hanging drywall. That includes finishing it! I like doing trim (even if I'm not great at it) because I get to play with saws. I've also really enjoyed electrical!

Gardening: I have this thing growing up through an azelia. I know it has to go, but (esp. @Walter Reeves) what IS it? Anybody?
It looks kind of like a holly of some sort, but the leaves are more broad than any holly I've seen! Also, if you know what it is, just what are those berries going to do? Flower? Change color? Stain my clothes?
