Can the Brother P-Touch Ambassador Program help Mojo’s garage?

At one point in my life I was a messy, disaster of a man.  I’ve written here how I once had to clean my house with a leaf blower.  One would think that such a public (and noisy) display of messiness would convince me to clean up my act and to an extent that is correct.  On the positive side, I’ve never had to clean the house with a leaf blower again, but certain areas of the house, namely the garage and office, are in constant need of organization and a clean-up.

DIY a stay at home dad can do-install a new roof

‘I didn’t know Mojo was a roofer’, some of you may be pondering.  Well, I’m not and roofing is a big time home repair that you will not attempt, unless you have a roofing company.  Instead this is a cautionary tale of what to look for in a roofing company and the story of a good roof gone bad.  Continue reading DIY a stay at home dad can do-install a new roof

The dirty little secret of a stay at home dad

My wife and I used to try to do it once a week.  That was the goal.  However, as with any family with an infant or toddler can attest, sometimes the time just gets away from you.  Now we’re lucky if we get around to it twice a month.  When we finally get down to business, it sometimes smells and you need a brush to clean the surface.  We just have to clean our toilet more often.

DIY a stay at home dad can do-Unclog a disposal

Earlier this year we had the disposal replaced.   One of Toddler Mojos metal spoons had gotten jammed under the blades and had subsequently broken it.  Recently we had a bit of a panic attack when we tried to turn on our almost new disposal and it didn’t dispose of anything.

DIY a SAHD can do-refinish a tub, tile or sink

A bathtub that is chipping paint is not a good thing.  Structurally the tub is sound, but its outward appearance is screaming for a makeover.  If only chipped paint tasted like popcorn and weren’t somewhat of a hazard then there would be no problem.  However, in reality, chipped paint exposes the surface which can then honestly degrade the quality of the tub.

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Install a toilet paper holder

The chimpanzees faced the monolith in 2001 A Space Odyssey.  They spent 20 minutes figuring out society, and then the monolith appears which rapidly increases the learning powers of the apes.  Next thing you know Roddy McDowell is wearing a monkey suit, Marky Mark does a bad remake and Rise of the Apes hits in August.

DIY a Stay at Home Dad can do-Replace a bathroom faucet

In our bathroom we have his and her sinks.   Each sink has its own accoutrements, soap stains and levels of dirt that happen naturally.  While I clean the sink area once I week, I’ll fess up that my side usually has a tooth paste glob on it, in addition to shave droppings.  That mess pales in comparison to the slippery funk that was in the drain area of my wife’s sink though.
