Kelly & Matt Stumbaugh
Kelly & Matt are young homeowners with a passion for DIY. We enjoy getting our hands dirty to build and fix things around the house, grow and make food, and create fun and useful things. We take on new projects armed with little experience, a bit of knowledge gleaned from a variety of resources, sometimes help from friends/neighbors, and always a desire to learn something new and accomplish something we weren't sure we could do.
