Together, we have amassed countless hours of blood (yes, true blood from my dad and myself—we can never seem to make it through a remodel without some bumped knuckles), sweat (many, many sizzling hours) and tears (a few sad, but most happy) along the way. Both of my parents have helped me in rehabbing my home. It has been a family affair! My mom being the painter, cleaner and forever organizer in the family and my dad, the genius behind the scenes helping me make all of my dreams a reality.Our first remodel was the half bath off of the kitchen. We decide to start with a smaller remodel to get our feet wet, and to find out what the house was truly made of.

I struck gold with a used swing set. The top beam and most of the decking was too rotten to be used and I decided to go a step further and get all new cedar wood and redesign the swing set configuration. I had a fun weekend of building and a summer full of my daughters playing on my great-looking swing set, all for a lot less money than buying new. On top of that, I used the old cedar 4x4s and some scrap plywood to build a workbench in my garden shed.' — Ben

I attached it to my oak chair with lag screws, and now I have an adjustable vintage chair.' — Carla
  • Slide 82 of 100: Eyebrow EntryThere were a lot of interesting architectural details on this house, but the entry was probably the most challenging. The ledger, ribbon and drop beam were all made from laminated layers of plywood, and the joists were all LVLs. We sheathed the roof with two layers of 3/8-in. sheets of plywood. The whole thing was held up with four 6x6 posts, which we boxed in for the stone guys. To complicate matters, the structure needed to be held several inches away from the wall so the stone could run behind it.A woodshop milled the cove and the cantilevered fascia, and we trimmed the rest in cedar. All the flashing was copper as was the entire roof (installed by others). From start to finish, the entry took about 140 hours. I love projects like this, ones that require more than just a framing gun and a level. Luckily, I get to work on a bunch of them. — Tyler Ferguson. Plus: 16 more hand-selected reader projects you need to see.

  • Slide 86 of 100: Reader Frank Smola asked his grandson if he would rather have a playhouse or a pretend jail to have fun with when he visits.

  • Slide 87 of 100: Like-New ArmoireHarold Gibbons made this armoire from dumpster finds in California and from the original Dreyer's Ice Cream factory in Berkeley, California, during the 1980's. The crown molding was bought at a garage sale, but everything else was free. He made the doors with shelving from the Dreyer's workshop. The knobs were from an old 1880's drug store in Elmer, Oklahoma. The Latin word on the knob was the name of the drug, which was stored in a common wooden drawer for filling prescriptions.
  • Slide 88 of 100: Perfect for chilly fall nights, reader Ed Merkle constructed this Fabulous Fire Table using plans from the April 2017 issue of The Family Handyman.

He would use his trailer to take his refuse to the county dump.'I am always trying to get my sons to help me, to no avail. On one occasion, my oldest son, to my amazement, decided to take a break from his music to tag along with me to the dump. When we got to the dump, we saw one of the workers removing two guitars from the trash heap. We jokingly asked if there were any more guitars where those came from. To our amazement, the worker pulled another discarded guitar from the trash heap. While the guitar looked to be in good shape, the pickups were not working. We decided to make the guitar into a lighted wall piece for the kids' playroom, using a rope light attached with clips to the back of the guitar.' — Andrew

  • Slide 95 of 100: When you can’t find what you want at the right price, you do make it yourself—at least that’s what reader Glenn Galbraith does. And along with the gorgeous shutters that he built for his house comes a sense of pride.
  • Slide 96 of 100: Reader John Rubino may get the coolest-dad-ever award for this play set that he built for his two sons in his backyard. Click here to find out what he used to construct this creative fort for his kids.
  • Slide 97 of 100: Slick Miter Saw Stand AccessoryI mounted a little picture frame hanger as a holder for my tape measure. I simply clip my tape measure on to the holder with the clip mounted on the back of the tape measure. Now, it's always at hand and in the same spot, so that I don't have to look around for it. These hacks have made my shop time easier and more enjoyable.' — Steve Christakis. Click here to see a second workshop hack Steve created.
  • Slide 98 of 100: Cedar Garden ShedReader, Kurt Schmatzhagen, sent us photos of his shed he built in his backyard. He used the plans from the Ultimate Garden Shed, which was published in our July/August 2014 issue of The Family Handyman. Click here to see the fire pit Kurt added next to this garden shed.
  • Slide 99 of 100: Faux Stone Accent WallReader Chris Galiyas, an elementary art teacher in West Mifflin, PA, created this faux stone accent wall in his living room. The wood pieces that frames the fire place are old floor joists that he got from a salvage yard. First he sanded down the wood, applied a faux finish and than finished the wood off with a clear coat. 'I love to see the wood come back to life in a new way.' — Chris
  • Slide 100 of 100: Kitchen UpgradeReader David Smith and his wife bought a house in an adult community that needed some upgrades. Being a retired general contractor, David's first project to tackle was the kitchen.'I did all the work myself, from 20 in. diagonal tile on the floor to new lighting. My wife helped with the design and the granite countertops. The 'bridge' above the sink has gotten a lot of compliments. Now I am handyman for a lot of residents in our community.' — David Smith.

Slide 1 of 100: Backyard OasisFamily time is important to Juan Zetino. He has served our country with numerous deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq and Japan. So he wanted to build an oasis to reconnect with his family. 'My inspiration came from reading The Family Handyman and other publications. It took me about six to eight months to complete this project, with planning being the most important aspect.' — Juan. Click here to check out more amazing photos of this backyard transformation.
