Many of us have rain barrel to collect water for gardening, but a lot of us don’t use the full potential of the rain barrel. In this article, I am going to show you how to use an old desktop power supply and transform your rain barrel. It’s GREEN to “upcycle” the junk electronics and…
In this article, I am showing you how to make a ground anchor using basic material from your local hardware store, it’s cheap to make and it only costs around $3.00 CAD each. There are many similar products such as “earth anchor” or “ring anchor”, but none of them are simple as this. It can…
In this video, I will show you couple of tricks and trade secret on handling recycle material such as IKEA cardboards. To bring it to the next level, I made a tool to help bundle the wood/cardboard without having to tie a knot. It’s pretty cool! My goal is to share my experience with all…
I bought a Honda Ridgeline. This project was inspired by many other DIY wooden snow plow (back hitch) projects on Internet, so I decided to make one myself using 3/4″ plywood, 2×4, 2×6, 4×4 and other basic materials found in local hardware store.

I built a cat condo for our cats using plywood and carpet 8 years ago, I think it is time to upgrade. As I noticed that modern cat furniture design doesn’t use carpet anymore (similar to modern houses that use hardwood floors), so I am going to do the same with cat condo version 2.0.…
We are planning to rent a car when travelling abroad, but I don’t want additional weight for the dashcam + huge suction cup. I do want to record everything in case of accident without adding weight to the luggage especially on a plane. So, why not make use of the (1) Phone and (2) Selfie…
I bought a box of 100 feet (30.5 m) 12 AWG cable (12/3) from Costco for other DIY projects, but I had a problem organizing the long and heavy cable. Looking up on the Internet, there are products out there to solve the exact problem (Reel-A-Pail/Quick Winder) but they are not cheap. Honestly speaking it’s…
I had these car audio components for 15-20 years and many have been sitting in the basement for over 10 years collecting dust. Well, due to life style change I couldn’t put the subwoofer in the car due to various reasons. Recently I bumped into “Romanian House Club Mix” on YouTube and it brought me…
