I started this channel to document all of the things that I do around the house and garage to save money. Contractor pricing has gotten outrageous during the pandemic and you can do most things yourself with a few tools and some DIY enthusiasm.
Things you will find on this channel include: Cars, home improvements, tool reviews, things like that. Consider subscribing and follow along, hopefully you will find something in my videos that can help you out. Trust me, you can do this yourself.
There are many factors when people do projects for themselves most times people learn something new and save themselves a bunch of money, but other times things happen beyond the control of I'll do it Myself. I assume no liability for property damage or injury incurred as a result of any of the information contained in these videos. Use this information at your own risk, but have fun, learn something and save yourself your hard earned cash!

It's that time of the season again. I purchased this Worx leaf mulcher to cut down on how many bags I was having to use when clearing yard debris. This was a great investment and helped save me time and effort in leaning up my yard.

It was annoying to have to rake it and it always worried me having that much water pool so close to the foundation. I found a solution...
