Smoldering CFL Bulb Supposedly Normal, Safe
“Does this smell funny to you?” Normally I crack a smile when someone says this to me, but this time it sounded serious. Apparently one of the lamps in the dining room was blinking on and off, and the room smelled like melted plastic. I immediately unplugged the lamp. After waiting for the bulb to […]
How To Replace a Price Pfister Genesis Kitchen Faucet Cartridge
I have to be honest. I hate the Price Pfister Genesis faucet in my kitchen. The detachable sprayer hand nozzle has broken off in my hand twice. Then last week I noticed a pool of water on the kitchen counter. I thought one of our Brita pitchers was leaking, so I cleaned up the water […]
Umbra Solutions Bayview Flexible Bay Window Curtain Rod Review
My bay windows make it hard to install regular curtains. The bending curtain rod Bayview by Umbra Solutions was easy to install and did the trick perfectly. The flexible elbows allow the single rod to adapt to your window’s angles and requires no cutting, adapting, or swearing.

Homax spray paint can handle review
The Homax spray paint can handle from Lowes is supposed to keep your fingers clean and provide an even flow of paint. Wear latex gloves instead.
Another bug hunt
Yes, I know this is similar to the title I used when I wrote about the hardwood stump borers I find every now and then. But these bugs are just as damn scary, and this time they are inside the house. Tags: home improvement, mutant insects
Waste conservation for lazy people.
I loved living in southern Oregon. The weather was perfect for me, the way of life was slower without seeming backwater (unlike the South), and it symbolized a big tipping point in my career in Web junk. It also started my path towards self-sufficiency, and was a good cultural setting to learn about the three […]
