Some things just aren’t meant to wobble around.

For example, something you (hopefully) use every day, but never think about:

Your showerhead.

If you have a wobbly showerhead, or even some wobbly pipes – here a tip for you:

The secret to success is expanding foam.

Tape up the area surrounding where the pipe enters the wall to protect it from the foam. Then, simply spray the foam into the empty space between the pipe and the wall, and watch it work its magic!

That's it – your family and friends will see you as the most handy person around, and you barely had to lift a finger!

We won't tell them how easy it was, promise ;)

Working on your backyard is a labor of love.

The smell of the fresh cut grass, the satisfaction of perfectly trimming the bushes, smelling the flowers as you tend the garden… For us it’s almost meditative.

Which backyard task do you find most relaxing?

I’m trying to insulate the house asbestos I can!

Ok… Sorry about that.

You’ve heard of asbestos, the carcinogenic material commonly used as insulation – at least until they discovered its adverse effects in the 1970s [x over eyes emoji]

Thankfully, it was phased out and we’ve switched to a much safer option – fiberglass.

But, before that, what were people using to insulate their homes?

Both the ancient Egyptians and the Vikings used to stuff mud bricks in their walls to trap in the heat.

In the middle ages, many houses used a mixture of mud and straw – they had leveled up in the insulation game.

But, interestingly enough, it was the ancient Greeks who first started using a more modern form of insulation, the infamous asbestos.

Asbestos actually translates to “inextinguishable” – they were fascinated by its resistance to fire.

So before you start making mud bricks for your house, consider buying some batts of fiberglass insulation – and keep your family warm and safe through the winter months!

We don’t recommend this at home, kids…
