Are you beginning to go stir crazy with the cold weather? Has cabin fever set in? What you need are some DIY projects for the New Year and Ace of Gray has the tools and building materials to help.
Your first project could be those cedar lined drawers your wife has been after you to make. All it takes are some cedar boards, sandpaper, wood glue, and wood screws. You’ll also need a chop saw and cordless drill. Don’t have those? Don’t worry, Ace of Gray has got you covered.
Ready to look forward to Summer and those backyard cookouts? Why not turn your attentions toward building a cooler cart? Remember the old adage: measure twice, cut once. There’s nothing worse than finishing a project like this one, only to realize that your cooler won’t fit!
Maybe you’ve never had to be the one doing it all before. That’s okay too. Here is a list of 5 home improvement skills that everyone should have.
1. How to hang a picture – You’re no longer hanging posters in your dorm room. You’re in the big leagues now and sticky tack just won’t cut it.
2. How to install a hanging shelf – Make sure that you locate the studs so that your shelf and its contents stay put.
3. How to stain wood – Even the greatest project can stumble at the finish line if it isn’t stained and finished properly.
4. How to reseal a window – A faulty seal on a window can mean higher heating and cooling costs, not to mention water damage to your sills.
5. How to replace a shower head – This one really couldn’t be easier. Just buy a new shower head, unscrew the old one, and replace the Teflon tape before screwing on the new shower head.
