Lets Fix It Right
США
Добавлен 3 янв 2020
Let’s Fix It Right is all about helping you fix it right the first time you attempt a home project to save money and give you the personal satisfaction of doing it yourself. This means that you will not have to hire expensive contractors, rebuild your projects, spend additional money buying your material and hardware again, and waste a lot of time. Most important of all, my videos help ensure that you will not to go down the road to failure, get discouraged, and quit.
In support of my RUclips Channel, I have more than 55 years of practical experience fixing it right dating back to my dad’s coaching and my teenage woodworking experience. With engineering degrees from West Point and Texas A&M University, I also leverage this technical expertise. Combining this with my film making “know how” I acquired from working at the Boeing Company, I have learned how to develop efficient and easy-to-understand videos that will empower you to “fix it right” the first time you attempt a project.

Stamped Concrete
In this episode, I am working with an accomplished contractor to remove and replace my outdated and deteriorating epoxy resin covered concrete patio.

So, I recommend that you go the contractor route for anything similar to this patio job. Most importantly, this video will guide you through the decorative concrete process to ensure success on your job.
With that in mind, I recommend that you use this video for the following items:
• Use this video to develop questions for contractor interviews
• Show it to potential contractors to define your requirements...
