The #WalkThrew: Is it really a house trend or just hype?

Fire is a pretty amazing tool, and there are more uses than just lighting your fire pit. We're inviting you to talk with us about fire and DIY.

So you like DIYing with fire? Yeah, we do, too.

Even if you aren't into the torch arts yet, I know you're curious because you are still reading these words.

We'll be talking wall art, bending metal, solder, ropes, and a whole lot more cool stuff. It's time to show-and-share why fire and DIY mix.

We'd love to see you at the live MyFixitUpLife blab. You can ask questions or comment live, and we might just invite you into an open seat. You never know what might happen live on MyFixitUpLife.

Designers, remodelers, and product makers have been working hard to help create more adaptable approaches to creating and recreating spaces. We've evolved from being reactive as designers to the limits that aging brings, to being proactive with universal design and design for everyone concepts.

But are we doing enough? 

We've invited widely known expert designers and contractors to this discussion on blab.

Alison Victoria might be best known as the spunky powerhouse host of Kitchen Crashers, but she has been designing interiors for many more years than she's been on our TVs. Alison also is actively involved in donating her time to community non-profit organizations such as Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, PAWS Chicago, and a board member for Chicago Children’s Charities.

Matt Muenster is a designer by heart and degree, and hosts DIY Network's Bath Crashers. As a licensed contractor, Matt sees every house project as a chance to use his clever ideas to achieve great design while integrating earth-friendly elements.

Stephen Fanuka is host of Million Dollar Contractor, and has built himself an unsurpassed reputation among the leading decorators, architects and elite clientele in Manhattan as the go-to guy for high quality general contracting and luxury interior renovation. Fanuka has a personal passion for designing better aging-in-place spaces. Two of his grandparents died from Alzheimer's.

While aging-in-place has been a topic that both Mark and Theresa have great interest, Theresa has passionately focused on one special part of this puzzle, designing for Alzheimer's and dementia, which has been left outside of this aging-in-place discussion until she stirred the pot.

Tool loves may change, but not the desire to DIY or the desire to blab about tools. We're geeking out with Ty Pennington, Sara Bendrick, TaraDara, Timothy Dahl, Carley Eisenberg, and Justin DiPego about tools with us LIVE from our workshop. We show our black floor mount urinal, a plush pope, light a candle with a torch, share hammers, hatchets, saws, and more.

Setting up tools, building a project, and cleaning up can lead to some serious DIY fitness.

Mark & Theresa know first-hand how a DIY lifestyle keeps us healthy and trim. While Theresa keeps the piles of wood, paint cans, buckets, and hammers just to DIYing, Mark on-the-way-other-hand is DIY fitness extreme. Mark actually uses his hatchet, sledgehammer, buckets of rocks, pallets, wood as part of his morning fitness ritual. It’s how he gets ready for a Spartan Race.

Our guests are ready to share their DIY fitness tips.

This week we are blabbing with Jason Cameron, Matt Blashaw,  Sara Bendrick, John Colaneri, and Justin DiPego.

Bring your DIY up a notch or 90 with Mike Holmes Jr. from Fox's Home Free.

Mike joins us on the show to give us a behind the scenes peek at Home Free on Fox and rocks out some tips for crushing your next DIY project---safe and smart.

And we'll get into it from the ground up and ask Mike Holmes Jr. about learning his trade, taking on huge projects well outside his comfort zone and see if we can shake loose one of those rare moments where work reflects life and life reflects work.
