Americans took a survey and the #1 project on their list is De-Clutter. This is a great idea because so many products in our home have unsightly cables that mess up the space. I have a quick and easy solution to remitting that: It’s cutting out the back of your base molding to hide all those unsightly cords.

To conceal your cords within your base molding, you need to get your Dremel 4000. Remove the nose cap and insert it into the router base attachment with straight-edge guide. Once it’s secure, put it down on your work piece, power it up, and punch down. Now you’re ready to slip your cord right in and attach the base molding.

Instead of having all the wires run across the floor and up the walls, its time to conceal them behind your base board. All you have to do is run your wire, pull it taut, now it’s time to install your base board with your notch slot.

So many people have a to-do list of home improvement projects they would like to complete, but without the right directions and materials, people can become discouraged and let these tasks fall by the wayside. I’m happy to be partnering with Dremel to provide Americans with the tool solutions, project ideas and expert advice they need to successfully cross projects off their lists for an accomplished 2011.

While my ‘Tackling America’s To-Do List’ video series will live primarily on the Dremel Facebook page, videos will also be available on the Dremel brand’s YouTube channel. Project steps highlighted in the videos will be available for download on www.Dremel.com as an easy reference for consumers seeking to start their own home improvement projects. I’ve also had a great time giving advice to DIYers on the Dremel Facebook page and hosting live chats on Twitter.

I love this ‘Tackling America’s To Do List’ stat: Men and women are motivated by different goals when approaching DIY projects. Women select projects that organize clutter (24%) while men focus on fixing broken items (14%). Dremel has tons of great info like this and project steps to help Americans tackle their top home improvement projects.

And as it’s almost fall, an ideal time to tackle a DIY project, everyone should check out the videos and more. Head here for step-by-step project instructions
