How I work

Twenty years of working in other people's homes teaches you what actually holds up. Every system or method I write about is something I've either installed, repaired, or maintained myself across dozens of different households. I test storage solutions by living with them through a full seasonal cycle to see whether they stay organized or quietly fall apart by month three. For maintenance advice I pull from real repair jobs: what broke, why it broke, and what would have prevented it. When I cover DIY techniques I run through them the way a first-timer would, not the way someone with a truck full of tools would, because that's who most of my readers are. If it needs a workaround or a caveat, I say so.
