Do you have pitted floors in your garage? The most common place to see damaged concrete is on the edge of the slab, right under the garage door. If you’ve ever seen water or pests creeping in under the door, you probably have the same problem as we did!
Time to patch those pesky holes? Smooth walls or textured walls- I’ve got you covered! (Heh, see what I did there?) Supplies View this post on Instagram A post shared by Meg | homeowner tips and DIYs (@grovehousereno)
A quick solution is to grab a plastic downspout extension from any Home Depot or Lowes and direct the flow away from your house. But if your doers like us and you want to get your hands a little dirty, then let me introduce you to the pop up drainage emitter…
They say April showers bring May flowers, but it seemed for us that April showers just brought more May showers. Our old house was surrounded by tall trees and our gutters would constantly get clogged with leaves and forest gunk until we installed EasyOn Gutter Guard.

We finished insulating and framing most of the outside walls before we ran out of lumber and decided we should wait…
I cannot tell you how GOOD it feels so good to be back with another easy DIY! So much has happened since January, but also not a whole lot has been accomplished. My fellow parents will understand- we’re mostly just staying afloat around here. I’ve been sharing updates here and there on our basement renovation…
This DIY project has been a long time coming. We ordered this patio door for our basement (along with the lumber for our mini shed and new basement windows) back in April. It was one of our “bored and in quarantine” impulse buys. Some people buy clothes and gadgets- we buy doors! I should also…
We officially celebrated our 1 year “blog-iversary” this month! Hard to believe we’ve been documenting our house projects for a whole year, but at the same time it feels like a decade’s worth of things of changed since July 2019.
