Dig deep. Build smart. Enjoy the process.
Our Story
BlogBurrow launched in 2025 as a solo endeavor focused on replacing click-bait and jargon with clear, trustworthy remodeling guidance. From day one, the mission has been simple: deliver hands-on, engaging how-tos that help anyone tackle home projects with confidence.
Why the Gopher?
Meet our mascot, the Gopher—equal parts curious, meticulous, and a little dirt-speckled. Like any good gopher, we dig until we hit facts. Every tutorial, product roundup, and cost calculator is researched, tested, or demo-built in our own workshop so you can tackle projects with confidence instead of crossed fingers.
What We Cover
- Remodeling & Renovation – From budgeting for a down-to-the-studs kitchen gut to swapping builder-grade trim without breaking a sweat.
- Paint & Finishes – Color psychology, coverage calculators, and pro-level tricks for walls, cabinets, and exteriors (no painter’s remorse here).
- Energy Savers – Weather-stripping, insulation hacks, and smart-home upgrades that cut utility bills—not comfort.
- Outdoor Projects – Deck refreshes, fence staining, and curb appeal ideas that make the neighbors rubber-neck in a good way.
- Tool School – Hands-on reviews, safety primers, and maintenance tips so your gear works as hard as you do.
If a project can level-up your space—or save you a trip to the hardware store we’ll cover it.
Our Editorial Promise
- Accuracy Over Algorithms – We cite building codes, manufacturer specs, and real-world test results before we ever press publish.
- Plain-English Clarity – If a gopher (or your Uncle Bob) can’t follow the steps, we rewrite them.
- Budget Respect – Champagne taste is great, but we always include wallet-friendly options that still look top-shelf.
- Transparency – If we earn a commission on a product link, you’ll know. If a technique didn’t work, we’ll show the blooper pics too.
The Team (Tunnel Dwellers)
- Heather & Michael Schiebel – Founders, serial remodelers, and champions of “measure twice, caffeinate thrice.”
