How to Make a Bug Box

Though gazing at insects and other creepy crawlies might not be too high on the to-do list of an adult, there is nothing more intriguing to a child than examining local wildlife and figuring out just why they do the things they do. It might be a bit difficult to catch a butterfly, and maybe not so appealing to collect a stink bug, but with this month’s HomTooling project, these bugs can be examined and observed from relative comfort and safety. This project will leave you with a stable and unique insect enclosure that will both protect the critter that your child is fascinated with, and keep your house safe from unruly escape artists. We’re joined by Sue today to help walk you through how to make this bug box.

How to Install a Fence in Flagstaff, Arizona

Do you need something to keep out those pesky rabbits and rodents that constantly bug your flower beds? Is your yard just too open? Do you have no opportunity for shade or landscaping? How about you DIY an aesthetically pleasing fence to not only keep your plants safe, but provide shade, protection, privacy, and a sense of accomplishment? Fencing can be utilized for both your general yard and your specified garden plots in Flagstaff. Not only can you craft it according to your specific lifestyle needs, but you can do it yourself for a low cost. This post will go over some key notes for doing your own fencing, and the materials that you can utilize. Some can even be found here at HomCo Lumber and Hardware.

How to Use Hollow Wall Anchors

When hanging objects on your walls, it is important to be aware of what sort of nail or screw is required to support the weight. For most smaller objects, like pictures and hanging ornaments, just a normal nail is fine. Hollow wall anchors, also known as drywall anchors, are meant to carry heavier pictures, some lightweight shelves, and other similar objects. Once you go over twenty pounds, a hollow wall anchor is required to bear the weight. This prevents the drywall from flaking apart and causing the nail to fall from the wall. Drywall is by its very nature weak, so we must rely on the hollow wall anchors to, well, anchor themselves to the wall so that anything hung on the attached screw won’t fall down and cause damage.
