I can totally just tell.Well, OK, maybe not, but I hope you at least found something in here that will help you out with one of life’s little messes!

I know these little tricks come in handy to me every day!It was a pretty great year for DIY projects around these parts.We really did make a lot of progress on the house AND we shared some handy tips along the way too!Here are the top 5 favorites from this year, according to our readers.. How to paint absolutely perfect wall stripes (from September).

The no-brainer no math molding trick (from August).Our favorite speedy deck staining trick (from July).

How to paint old wall paneling (from September).

How to change out a light fixture (from June).The ground underfoot was spongy and soft, but the biggest of the snow drifts were still completely intact.. On one side of the creek, Winter.

On the other side, Spring.. Everything was just starting to get a little bit greener.. Green and Gray.. Buds and water droplets..I just had to grab my little camera and see how much of it I could capture and save for later.. Is it Spring yet where you are?Hey, wanna see something else we found in our garage attic?.

I’m not in love with these photos, but I am in love with this window.Chris was a little grossed out that I wanted to bring it inside, but how could I not?
