Our friend Marc Lyman has expanded his online presence. He is the founder of the respected HomeFixated and one of the few home improvement and tool bloggers on the West Coast.
Not content with a single blog and a growing family, Marc recently launched two additional sites—HomeHacks and HomeFail—while also welcoming another child (congratulations; anyone who’s juggled both knows how challenging that can be).
Where HomeFixated concentrates on tools, woodworking, and detailed how-to projects, Marc’s new sites take a lighter tone. HomeHacks offers clever, practical tips and simple tricks for everyday problems—like using a piece of spaghetti to light a candle—while HomeFail highlights the humorous and sometimes jaw-dropping side of DIY, showcasing construction mishaps and project disasters.
Both sites are easy to browse and designed for quick inspiration: HomeHacks is full of handy, approachable solutions for homeowners and renters, and HomeFail curates entertaining examples of what can go wrong so readers can learn from others’ mistakes.
If you’re interested in simple fixes, creative shortcuts, or a laugh at some spectacular DIY fails, take a look at Marc’s new projects. You can leave your own tips, share a fail, or just enjoy the content—both sites are great complements to his long-running HomeFixated blog and will appeal to anyone who spends time on home projects.
