DIY (Do It Yourself)

We can't resist a good DIY project.

In fact, our entire lifestyle revolves around one home improvement do-it-yourself project after another.

Here is a collection of our recent DIY experiences.

Be your own contractor. Start with raw land and build your dream house. This was our California adventure.	Cover a deck. It may not seem like much, but it helps extend the outdoor season by allowing you to play outside when it rains.		Save a stream. If you have a drainage ditch on your property, consider restoring it instead of throwing in a culvert and burying it. The environment will thank you for it.
Buy a fixer-upper ("diamond in the rough"). Here's the story of our Oregon Adventure.	Curb Appeal It took 2 years, but the exterior is finally finished.	Indoor/Outdoor Room We finally finished something! YEE-HAH! This room took 9 months, working part time.	Saltillo tile This was probably a mistake--very high maintenance--but we love it.
	Garage workshop Since we were living in the 5th wheel, parked out front, Bob had the luxury of turning the garage into a workshop before tackling the house projects.	Lay a patio.
	Flower Bed	Build a porch. Can't have too many porches when you live near the Oregon coast.	Restore a wood stove.
