Ingredients 4 cups of rhubarb 3 cups of strawberries (I used frozen, because I had them) 3/4 cup of sugar Juice of one lemon First – harvest your rhubarb, cut it…

Photos: Pacific Costal Highway

Project: Boler
This Canadian classic travel trailer is truly iconic. The Boler is a fiberglass trailer that is timeless – we got our first one in 2012. And, our 1972 trailer was 40. Yes, 40! Boler Done!

It took us hours and hours of sanding to get the body in great condition. Not to mention the homemade spray booth we…

Waterproofing is the most common reason, but I find it gives items, like bags or totes rigidity that helps them stay sturdy. This waxed cotton tutorial will walk you though all you need to know. In my pervious post I made a woodworking apron and I waxed the cotton. This is how I did it! What You Need mason jar 1/2 beeswax and paraffin wax small brush stove pot water…
