The start of a new year has a way of making everyday annoyances stand out a little more. This month, we’re talking about the small home projects that make a big difference, along with a simple January plumbing reset to help your home work better all year long. You’ll also find our latest Fix It Funny, local events, and community recommendations we love. A fresh start doesn’t have to mean big projects.
