Roasting coffee in winter is pretty challenging, when the temperature drops below 0c (32F) it is extremely hard to reach 500F for 2nd crack (at least for my Fresh Roast SR700). You would NOT want to do it in your kitchen, trust me. So this is an alternative way to contain the roaster and divert…
Android box is awesome but it cannot replace live TV on Antenna in my opinion. Watching live shows, Olympics/World cup and local news/weather are so convenient, also there is no way Android box can beat the respond speed of channel hopping, especially when you want to channel surf but you don’t exactly know what to…
This project was done 2 years ago indeed, but I just recently realized I did not blog about this. Here we go.. I guess I don’t have to go into details, everything was really simple. Anyone can do this as a weekend project if you have some basic tools like brad nailer, wood filler, sander…
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.…
I bought a 12″ Aqua dynamic Frost free wall hydrant (with Anti-Siphon vacuum breaker) from local Home Depot and it took an afternoon on the weekend to do it. It was easy but I was stupid enough to buy the wrong parts (plumbing thread types), so in order to save time and not to drive…
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…
This DIY project wasn’t that difficult compare to other projects I did in the past, the result is pretty impressive if you compare the before and after photos. I want to share this information with other people who want to DIY their powder room. The Makeover My wife was the one who decided what sink…
By far, this is the most dangerous DIY project I have ever attempted, it’s done, I am still alive. Installing Sub Panel is something you should hire a licensed electrician to do it, but it is so easy and I strongly recommend and encourage serious DIY people to do it. Well, can it pass inspection…
