Bare bones project tracker!

I need a way to track my projects and know what I’m working on.

I have home projects

DIY craft projects

I’m building a website

Using a cheap dry erase board, some markets and lots of sticky notes. Simple!!!

An electric mower means no oil, no gas just pop in the battery and go! It’s pretty easy to maintain, keep the battery charged and swap out/sharpen the blade underneath.

Would you tackle mowing the lawn?

#LTKvlog #LTKHome

Sure one can help with these things but until then I can DIY or hire out! Then sometimes when you hire out they won’t even do all the things you need them to

Squeak deaf: Not noticing your door scream for help

Come shop with me for an easy fix for those squeaky doors

The WD-40 precision pen is great for tight spots and for dispersing just the right amount for those squeaky hinges

It also means no mess so you can have quiet doors with no drips

I nearly unsliced when I saw a snake in my garage. The next week I was determined to make sure it didn’t have a nest in there by cleaning my garage 😭

Paver walkway all done!!!

Several neighbors walked by and asked me about my project and commented on the progress! Their reaction to the final product has been in awe!

It was hard work and it was HOT out here in the Florida heat.

Totally doable solo but always better with some help.

Recommendations for durable work legging?

With pockets?

Is that even a thing?

These purple leopard 🐆 print leggings had side pockets!

I did so much with them—they got paint, thinset, grout, and dirt all over them and sadly it’s now time to retire them. 😭🥲

Found this nautical dress with pockets!!! Hello summer!!!

Fountain to get one!

+1 year review of the @petlibro dockstream cat fountain.

One I’ve had 11 months and another that’s 2 years old. Both are still the quietest fountains I’ve ever had.

They’re super easy to clean, they don’t get grimey like others and there aren’t weird nooks that are hard to clean.

If you pre better than I did, in the 5 mins in takes to soak the cartridge filter…you can clean the fountain + all the parts in time to out in the clean one in.

I’m thinking of getting their new smart fountain, which with an rfid can track which cats are drinking and for how long….HOW COOL IS THAT!!???

Share this tip with your DIY besties!

I do feel dumb that I was putting it wrong this whole time.

After a while the strap would dig in to the back of my knee!

The solution: put on the knee pad with your knees bent

1) you’re putting them in the position you’ll be working
2) you knees are fully supported
3) the strap is in the right spot

I figured this out while working in my pavers and after hours with them on NO PAIN, NO NUMBNESS.

As I was reminiscing this week about a fun event happening I found this amazing photo that was professionally taken years ago!

I was doing a mermaid/ Audrey Hepburn style Disney bound with crown and everything!

Replacing the boring casing

Adding thicker casing modernizes your home and it looks nice!

I’m going for a craftsman style casing as it what I’ve been doing all over my home!

Score the caulk
Remove old trim
Cut and attach new trim!

Easy!

I’m using
two sizes of trim pullers by @zenithbydanco
Nail puller to remove finish and Brad nails
Oscillating tool to cut through base board
Brad nailer to attach

Lets fix my fave Halloween mug 🎃

I accidentally broke an ear off my favorite Disney Halloween mug and wasn’t going to pay $45 to replace some thing I thrifted for $10

A lot of glue, mild panic when I couldn’t clamp it down…and it looks good enough.

It lives to see another Halloween!

Paint those ceilings!

I decided to go bold with the ceiling. It might not be what everyone would go for but I think it’s cool

It’s the 5th wall and why does it “have to” be white?

#boldcolors #boldceiling #statementceiling #goboldorgohome

Anyone else hate that feeling?

It’s just the vibrations going through your hands..for so long..so hard 🤭

All innuendo aside…I finally have all the grout out and the tiles pulled out!

Next up cleaning up thinset and taking out the adhesive layer before leveling the floors.

Would you have hired this out?

It was never meant to be

I’ll get back to it this weekend though!!

Just living my life wearing my fave Halloween top and Christmas dinosaur pjs, making bread.

Imagine hating someone you don’t know

It’s weird

Get a life

I’m living mine one lot of bread, a DIY project and one day at a time

Checkerboard pattern or gray?

A transfer shovel (yes there’s different types)
A 4cu @gorillamadeproducts dump cart
I got both years ago from @loweshomeimprovement

PLUS Several hours of time

Leaves me with a dug pathway

I still need to tamp down, level and do some more prep before I can lay any pavers.

But the first step is done
#paverwalkway #paverwalkways #lowesfinds

I love this checkerboard pacer idea…but at 20x20, my back and arms will hate me?

I built the cutest egg chair, only took me 20mins!

Sadly it gets claimed everyday as it is the comfiest seat in the patio

#LTKPets #LTKHome

This will give you muscles without the gym! Lol. On a whim I decided to finally tackle adding a paved pathway to my front door.

It’ll make going to the mailbox easier and a shorter distance for delivery drivers to walk.

#LTKHome #LTKActive

Keeping my car running for years to come with Chevron Techron

#LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50

Spring is coming which means this egg chair will be back in stock at Lowe’s soon!!! Save this post and keep an eye out before it sells out!!

Making macarons has always been a mystery to me. This macaron kit from target though took out the guess work

Though you do have to fold the dough (like what even is that lol)

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Ever abandon a project once you realize how much work it’s going to be?

That was me in July, on a whim I decided to remove the kitchen island I hated

But the previous owners didn’t add the new tile under it!

Instead it was some old 90s tile, so I didn’t want to deal with it.

I put some rugs down, moved my kitchen table over it and moved on

Until now…?

Also shout out to Monica @house.of.esperanza for reminding me this audio exists lol

Would you have hired this out?

It was never meant to be

I’ll get back to it this weekend though!!
