I fired my pest control company years ago, and you should too!  I DIY pest control and have saved THOUSANDS!  All the pesticides I use and link to in this post are pro-grade that you can legally buy online and use on your property.  In this how-to-do-your-own-pest-control tutorial I’ll tell you exactly what to get, the mix ratio, how to apply it, and how often it should be done.  Do-it-yourself pest control is one of the easiest homeowner tasks out there.  It’s also a fantastic way to cut your monthly budget.

What’s the best battery for a minivan?  The Optima YellowTop!  Our 2012 Toyota Sienna had recently been slow to crank.  It was especially slow after the power doors were opened/closed a few times with the car off.  We’re going on vacation soon, so I thought it’d be a good time for a preemptive battery replacement.  

This post shows how I built a DIY loft bed for my son’s room.  It utilizes basic framing and structural pipe fittings for support.
