The final weekend of the Summer 2016 movie season is upon us and it will be the lowest grossing weekend of the year so far. No surprise there, Labor Day weekend is the calm before the awards season storm, and not typically known for its blockbuster performances. Nevertheless, this weekend should once again be an improvement over the same weekend last year as Fox's sci-fi feature Morgan ventures into 2,020 theaters while Dreamworks will deliver The Light Between Oceans into 1,500 theaters, t...

How to: Make this Rustic Storage Box From an Old Pallet
A rustic storage box is frankly good for just about anything. Storing tools, carrying picnic supplies, or even piling up in a corner for decoration, you can do just about anything with them. And if you build them with enough quality and intention you can always sell them if they're in your way (honestly, I once saw legitimately janky old crates being sold in Brooklyn for $45 apiece). … Continue reading on ManMadeDIY.com

How To: Customize Your Apartment without Angering Your Landlords
As you might imagine, I'm sorta of lease-limit pusher. I mean, I do read them. I do take their advice to heart, and sometimes, when I'm breaking it, I do recall, "Oh, yeah. I think I'm specifically not supposed to do this."
But those moments are rare. See, I try to find ways to customize my space that aren't direct violations of my lease. Whereas it does say, "Don't paint," it does NOT say "Don't Mod Podge hundreds of little paint samples to the wall." So, I did. (See above)
See, what my landlord's don't seem to understand (they're an elderly retired couple, not a corporation) is that this is my home. It's an investment to you, but I live here. I work here. I entertain here, have holidays here. And while it might be funny to you that I had to pull everything two feet from the wall so you could "treat for pests," [read: have a 6.5 ft tall 80-year-old man spray some Raid around] and then tell me you'd do it again two weeks later, only to change your mind and not come for 13 more days, my entire life was shrunk by 65% for nearly a month...
What was I saying? Oh, right. There are lots of things you can do to customize your rented space without violating your lease. Except, ingnore the holes in the wall thing. All can be fixed. Email me if you don't know how. … Continue reading on ManMadeDIY.com

How to: Tame Household Clutter with a DIY Home Landing Strip
We don't like to admit it, but it's beginning to be that time of year when the things we bring into the house start to get bigger and bulkier. In the warm months, it's a bag or briefcase, your phone, and a few essentials for work, but in the cooler months, enter the coats, boots, hats, gloves, snow shovels, in addition to the magazines, mail, your keys and all the other things that come inside with you. … Continue reading on ManMadeDIY.com
