This summer I had an AMAZING wedding that happened very much in part because of my dad – who also happens to be my source of inspiration for this post. Of course I wanted to thank my dad in a special way, so I decided to create a personalized scrapbook, cataloging all of his visits and of course, my wedding.

Large Floor Bookshelf Part 2
This is the second part in a two part series about how to design, build, and finish a simple woodworking project. Please read Part 1 for more info and background on the project. This section will mainly focus on finishing the bookshelf.
Staining wood projects is a hassle and you can quickly get in over your head. When I first started looking for methods to stain my projects, I was bombarded with choices:
- Oil or water based?
- Which color should I use?
- How long should the stain be left on the wood?
All of these variables left me confused on what I should do. With a good bit of research, I found the answers to my questions. My solution may not be best for everyone, but I do have justification for my choice.
Our Leopard Gecko’s Reptile Den
Gizmo had a funny feeling about his new reptile den!
Recently we purchased an Exo Terra Reptile Den (Size Large) for our Leopard Gecko, Gizmo. It was half price at a local pet store, so we couldn’t resist. The premise of this product is that it has one piece that provides a secluded den for your animal and it goes inside the cage; it has another piece that covers the den and it goes outside the cage. The pieces stay attached by extremely strong magnets. Upon opening the two pieces for the first time, Adam quickly smashed his fingers between the rocks (hehe, at least it wasn’t me!). Like I said, the magnets are strong! Here is our review of the product and how we modified it for our leopard gecko’s cage.
