    BBQ: Beginner’s Guide to the Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker

    October 1, 2020 /

    My brother in law is passionate about smoking meat and everything he makes tastes amazing, which spurred my interest in BBQ. I also follow a lot of BBQers on Instagram like grillin_with_dad, heygrillhey, darksideofthegrill. Sidebar, I am obsessed with Mel from DarkSide of the Grill and have hair envy (he has a wicked mullet). Motivated by family and inspiring Pitmasters, I decided it was time to start my own smoking adventure. My gut was to drop $3,000 on a bad-ass smoker but my better half, aka my smokin’ wife, “encouraged” me to try a cheaper option ‘til I prove I stick with it. Spoiler alert, I’m hooked! This post covers…

    How to Install Double Barn Doors

    September 22, 2020 /

    Why Barn Doors – We have an extra room in our basement with a large, 5’x7’ opening without a door. Occasionally we use this area as a spare bedroom for guests and wanted to add privacy with a door. We chose barn doors to add style and function to our space. This is a supplemental guide to provided instructions – Single barn doors are popular, but double barn doors are slightly more complex and most “how to” videos only cover a single door. The opening for our space required a double barn door due to its size. I am sharing my experience because the instructions lacked detail and there are…

    How to unclog a bathroom sink without chemicals

    August 3, 2020 /

    This is a fast, easy and cheap (under $3) way to unclog a bathroom sink without chemicals.  How to: 4 easy steps Figure out cause of the clog. After a 30 second Google search, I found The Home Depot’s recommendation on How to Unclog a Bathroom Sink excessive for my needs (lots of steps). But, it did help me learn to first think through what’s causing the issue before jumping to a seemingly easy fix using chemicals that may not be needed. My Cause – I knew it was hair because I am the only owner of my home (wasn’t a previous owner/tenant clogging) and my wife has a lot…
