After buying a plot of land in Idaho to escape California, I turned to STIHL, like always, to maintain and improve my land. This is how I used my new STIHL auger to complete four essential projects for our new homestead.

A couple years ago, I shared plans for a laundry she shed with a Speed Queen washer, and it went kinda viral on the web and resulted in a kajillion questions.
We all crave our own space. A place to get away. A place that isn’t invaded by others, by other issues, other memories.
