Ask the Blog Squad

I have had the privilege of being a member of the True Value DIY Blog Squad this year.  I’ve tested out some great products and tools, have become friends with the folks at my local True Value…

 

 

…and I’ve gotten a lot of projects done including painting my kitchen cabinets and family room…

 

 

…and making some progress on my bathroom.

 

 

Now it’s my week to be the “DIY Blog Squad-er” who answers the questions on the Ask the DIY Blog Squad Facebook Page.  Just visit the True Value Facebook page, click the DIY Blog Squad button on the left side bar and then click the “Ask the Blog Squad” tab.  Enter your question and I’ll do my best to answer it!

 

It’s worth the trip over there just to look at the archives.  There are lots of great questions and answers from some of your favorites bloggers, including The Bowers, The Palmers, Roeshel, Kate and Sarah.

This week started with the loss of power from a storm.  It wasn’t really the storm that knocked out the power, but the wall of wind that came right before the rain.  It took out trees, limbs, power poles, and made a general mess of our yard and pool.  Jeff

Visiting Clarkson’s Farm

June 10, 2026

When Julia (my English friend and host when visiting the UK) and I discussed what we should do with our time in the Cotswolds, we frequently kicked around the possibility of visiting Jeremy Clarkson’s concerns – The Farmer’s Dog Pub and Diddly Squat Farm Shop.  Both of us are fans
