With the GrainHome Improvement Tips and Tricks

I don’t know about you, but my yard is in serious need of some landscaping this spring.  So, that is going to top my list of spring home improvements.  In addition to the excavation and drainage “fixing” we need to do, we have a lot of stumps to haul out and brush to burn.  It’s hard to believe we’ve been working on this land for so many years! 

Here’s what I’m researching about stump hauling:

• Tree Stump Removal
• This Old House: Removing Tree Stumps
• eHow: How to Remove Tree Stumps

It’s going to be a busy season around here for clean up, fixing things, moving things, and planting things.  This, of course, will give me numerous opportunities to continuously share information with you!  Speaking of that, With the Grain is in the process of building a huge library of informational articles, tips, and instructional how-to’s!  The menu on the left is broken down into the following categories for your surfing convenience:

• Appliances
• Climate Control
• Decorating/Design
• Electrical
• Flooring
• Gardening/Landscaping
• Interior/Exterior Painting
• Plumbing
• Room by Room
• Windows/Doors
