The Spice Rack

Not too sexy but…..

I know, this is nothing too sexy but when you have been living in a half completed kitchen for more than a year, it seems like a big deal!

So for Mother’s Day I asked my husband to make me a spice rack for the kitchen. I had all of these vintage canning jars with glass tops that cannot be used for canning but are great for storage. They aren’t exactly air tight but if I get…

Porter Cable Pocket Hole Quik Jig Review

So we have been using the Porter Cable Pocket Hole Jig for a bit over a year now. We used it first to make a crate to cover my AGA while we did renovations and now to build all of the kitchen cabinets. Here are some of the videos I made showing its capabilities, from the unboxing to the latest cabinet.

Fixing up my old MacBook Pro from 2011, why bother to fix it, just buy a new one???

I started building my new MacBook Pro on Apple’s website and I came to somewhere over the $3000 mark when I was deciding to get a 2 TB drive.

I thought that sounded like it was going to save me $1200 until I started watching video reviews on the new MacBooks from 2018!

The Truth about Apple

So as I…
