We'll only let them put makeup on us if they can catch us first!

There's more fun going on here at our "This Old House." Heath has been teaching us kids how some of the tools work, and now we might be ready to build our own secret compartment if we measure carefully.

We love to pick out colors and paint the house.

And no one seems to be noticing how many brownies we are having.

We know the grownups are working hard, but for us, renovation is just child's play!

Now this is ridiculous

Not to pass judgment or anything, but—seriously—is it really necessary to bulldoze this outstanding Spanish Gothic masterpiece by famed Florida resort architect Addison Mizner, just so someone can build what will basically be a ho-hum McMansion on the same land? I think not. Still, it turns out that the anonymous owners of the La Ronda mansion, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, have pulled a demolition permit to do just that. The primary reason? Because it doesn't have air conditioning. Seriously?

Careful with weedy container plants

Now, I usually think of container plants as a quick way to add color and a new pop of variety to a garden. Unfortunately, it seems like they may also be adding weeds, according to a recent study done by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service. After buying and examining more than two dozen container plants, they found more than 54 (!) weeds or invasive plants that had been transplanted with the containers.
