Home Improvement & DIY

DIY’s not just about saving cash—it’s about owning your space. Around 50, I’ve tackled enough projects in my Connecticut home to know what’s worth your sweat. This section’s for guys 30 to 65 who want to fix, build, or renovate without losing their sanity. Expect practical tips: patching drywall like a pro, choosing tools that last, or planning a bathroom upgrade that won’t tank your budget. It’s not about being Bob Vila—it’s about small wins that feel big. I’ll share my wins (and epic fails) from shelving to deck staining. My Detroit days taught me to roll up my sleeves, so let’s get to work. Whether you’re fixing a leak or building a fire pit, this is your guide to making your home yours, one project at a time.
