Dad It Yourself DIY

I'm working on a small drywall project. Contrary to popular belief, I actually know how to mud and tape drywall seams. Needed a "header" installed for a barn door railing, and here is the almost finished product. What do you think? do I still suck? #diy #drywall #mudding Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwC-x8paeu2FDi3ZZnZ_xLA/join

I recently added a robot lawn mower to my stable of lawn care equipment. I currently only use it in my backyard. This is an enclosed area, and the robot does an outstanding job! After unboxing it, getting it all set up, and laying down the perimeter wire, the robot took off. It took me a few days to dial it all in, moving the perimeter a little here and there, the cutting height, and how often. Now I barely even remember that it's out there doing its thing, day in and day out! **This post contains affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.** If you are interested in getting one for yourself, here are some links!

The ferry ride from Clinton on Whidbey Island to Mulkilteo on the mainland in Washington State is a regular trip for me. in most cases the loading and unloaded process takes longer than the actual trip. It was an amazing day to be out on Puget Sound. Thank you to the Washington State Ferries for an amazing ride!

After four months we connected with a buyer for the Price is Right Project Wheel that we built for the Maker Collab 2023! Irons Mill Farmstead in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania is now the new owner of the epic build! We took a few days to make repairs, and upgrades. After that the wheel was broken down and loaded onto a 15' U-Haul truck and driven across the country! This four day journey took me across over 2,500 miles of the most scenic part of the country. It was worth the journey! After arriving, the wheel was unloaded and reassembled. It will become the centerpiece of an amazing series of events at the farmstead during there fall festival. Be sure to visit @ironsmillfarmstead7329 here on YouTube and if you are in the area, go visit and take a chance at spinning the wheel!

I recently drove cross country to deliver the Price is Right Wheel to its new home in Pennsylvania. The easiest and most economical way was to rent a U-Haul truck. This is where its gets interesting. U-Haul reached out to me and made an offer. If I tow one of their U-Box trailers to a destination in Indiana they will pay me $650. I said yes! This would pay for nearly all of my gas on this trip and only be a few miles out of my way. The offer was upped to $850 if I agreed to deviate and drop the box off in southern Michigan. No problem! This was eventually canceled and I was rerouted back to Indiana for the original $650. The pick up was a nightmare. The box and trailer were not at the designated location. The customer service is helping me figure this out was terrible, and then after nearly an hour, the box was located at another location across town. I drove over to the new location and after they were able to locate the box, it took another hour to track down someone who could drive a forklift and load the trailer, etc. Then is was discovered the it was loaded incorrectly, and possibly would have to be reloaded, fortunately the crisis was averted and the box was labeled and I was sent on my way! Most of the employees I dealt with in these two locations were unfamiliar with the program and the processes adding to the confusion and delays. The manager of one location even admitted to me that this was his first load-share process and he didn't know what he was doing. All told nearly three additional hours, pushing me closer to down town, and right in the middle of the evening rush hour. After four days on the road, taking a scenic rout through the upper mid-west, I arrive in Indiana to drop the box off, the employee who greeted me knew exactly what to do, check the box in, detached it from my truck, and I was on the road in a couple of minutes! He had obviously received training and was experienced with the program. For my troubles, the $650 was upped to $750 and it was paid as a credit against my U-haul truck rental. Win for me! Would I do load share again? Of course! if they had a program where I could tow there trailer with my truck if I was driving cross country, I would jump on that as well! https://www.uhaul.com/Articles/About/U-Box-Load-Share-Named-Sustainability-Service-Of-The-Year-28084/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwC-x8paeu2FDi3ZZnZ_xLA/join #uhaul #ubox #moving

We built the Big Wheel! Mike from @WoodworkandWeld and I agree that The Price Is Right Wheel we did for the @themakercollab was one of the hardest projects either of us have ever done. The size, weight, and required tolerances added to the challenge. Thankfully, we each brought different skillsets to the table and learned new ones along the way. This project used an entire shop’s worth of tools: a @CNCThunder router, TIG welder, laser cutter, 3D printer, @CriCut vinyl cutter, electronics, fonts, @Sketchup, Vcarve, and carpentry. The build was not without its challenges. After the first wheel was cut on the CNC, the glue up did not go as planned, requiring another skeleton to be cut and assembled. Prototyping the numbers proved to another challenge as well. Finding the right materials and learning the painting technique was frustrating with many failed attempts. Finally, as we assembled everything, all of our lights stopped working! We overcame all of the challenges and obstacles, learned a bunch of new skills, and were able to complete the build! We hope our project brings back fond memories of childhood and nostalgia. We would like the wheel to find a home as a fundraising piece for a non-profit or with a party rental company. We assume that just like us, everyone else who has seen this wheel has wanted to spin it! Now they will have a chance!

I recently installed blackout shades in a room where small children sleep. Here in the Pacific Northwest as we get closer to Summer, the sun comes up very early, around 4am, and does not set until very late, around 10pm. NO ONE wants their kids waking up that early, or not going to sleep until that late. These blackout shades were the answer! They are inexpensive, easy to measure, cut and install. The neat part is, they are attached with Velcro, so you can pull them down, fold them up, and store then until next season in the handy reusable bag they come in.

If you haven;t heard about TEMU yet, supposedly it is the fastest online shopping site on the internet. That said, they have a lot of products for really really cheap. What they are not is AMAZON. A majority of these products are made in Chine, then drop shipped to a warehouse in California or New Jersey, then shipped to use via USPS. Well I wanted to try it out, so I bought a drone for $25. It came in about 12 days, and was packaged well. The instructions were what I expected. After a couple of quick steps I was able to get it flying with the included controller. It drifted a little, but with practice and a little more reading I was able to tune it. I downloaded the phone app to see if I could control it that way, I was never able to get the app to control the drone, other than turning the cameras on and off, and recording. Well after losing the drone once, I flew it for about an hour off an on. After a short time one of the propellers stopped working and after a inspection I could see that it melted. Done, after less than an hour. Disappointing. This is definitely a toy and nothing more. But had I given this to a child to play with, they would have been very upset for sure. Its headed back to China for a promised, full refund. Maybe I'll try another with my refund. 2 out of 5 stars. **This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.** Helpful/Affiliate Links: TEMU Shopping Site: https://www.temu.com/k/d04ad181 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwC-x8paeu2FDi3ZZnZ_xLA/join #Temu #Drone
