Dearest current & future DIY’ers,

Hello. I'm Rick! Stay at home daddy by day, DIY'er by night.

Five homes, three kids and five states later, I've become the DIY hero no one ever wanted or needed. But since I'm here, I may as well build something!

Please enjoy a cup of coffee while you read my project logs, plans and posts. I find that even the worst writing is made mildly spectacular by drinking a hot cup of joe.
