Personally, I’ve been on Twitter for over two years.  This blog, however, has been on Twitter for two days.

Twitter is an extraordinarily awesome communication tool that lets us connect on a more real-time level.  Right now, you come here via search, bookmark, RSS or habit to read posts.  On Twitter, we can take that dialog to a whole new level.  I’ll be posting photos of the projects I undertake, home improvement tips, and, of course, cool things I find while searching around on Pricegrabber.  Readers of this blog can ask me for product recommendations, advice, and resources to help finish projects.  I’ll be glad to help!

If you’re on Twitter, consider following @FixItUpDIY.  You’ll see a lot of stuff tweeted that’s not posted here.

If you’re not on Twitter and want to learn more about it, I’ve found some books for you to reference (don’t worry - it’s super easy!):

• Twitter Tips, Tricks, and Tweets
• Twitter for Dummies (not that you’re a dummy!)
• The Twitter Book

I look forward to following you back and helping you with your home improvement questions in as real-time as I can be!

After a brief hiatus for the holidays, a hectic work travel schedule and some roadbumps along the way, we’re back - and just in time for the New Year and everything it brings.

In our tough economic times, it’s really important to look to save money in every way possible.  Hiring contractors can be expensive, and, in most situations, is an unnecessary move that will put you further in the red.  We’re here to help.

Santa delivered me a pint-sized video camera, so look for video tutorials on how to solve some common household problems, more in-depth features on home maintenance, and, of course, great product reviews for tools I think everyone should own.

I look forward to helping everyone out in 2009!
