**Adult Language Alert!** - Even though this video is over a year old...lately we have had a few people concerned with the language I use in this video. Even though this video includes a Warning at the beginning...For for those of you who may be easily offended...I use 10 curse words throughout this 25 minute video. The word B---h is used twice, S--t is used 5 times, F--k is used once, H--l is used once, and D--n is used once. If the use of these words offends you, Do Not watch this video. And if you do end up watching this video...you have been warned and I don't want to hear about my use of foul language in the comments below. Thank you.
Sometimes the price we pay for a FREE RUclips video tutorial is a few cuss words.
I can not believe you even have to warn grown adults geese. Stop watching if it affends you the viewer.
😂😂
Oh my goodness girl, you are awesome. Do do not change what you do, how you do it, and what words you use. I can't wait to watch more of your videos.. Thank You!!
Love it & you being YOU!!!
As soon as u dropped the F bomb I immediately subscribed. ❤
Martine Mikita - YES...THANK YOU! My job here is done :) I cannot tell you how many people have been commenting on the use of my "fowl" language in this video. Funny thing is...I've been cussing in all of my videos since day one and I'm certainly not going to stop now. Not to mention....the F word is the best word :)
@@ThisisRealLifeWithSheri Fu*k is my favorite by a long shot. Thank you for being real as Fu*k. 😉
Sheri - I just found your videos. I love you! You crack me up with "don't want to sweat my balls off" LOL. . . you are hilarious and very talented. I love that you don't use alot of tools and make it more complicated like so many men do! Thanks!
Hilarious, informative, creative, and practical. Mom, I love you. ❤️ This was a great idea and the results are proof.
I totally DETEST those battery packs that won't come off the drill unless you're Hercules! Love your video!
Bev Jensen - Oh my gosh...tell me about it. Why's it gotta be so hard? If I ever have the opportunity to make a drill, you know I'm going to have a quick release battery button :) Or wait! I just had an idea...the clapper drill! Clap on clap off the battery! I'm brilliant!!
I can relate… projects are always so easy in my mind when starting.
Halfway through..mission impossible!😂
I like you! Good for you in helping her out!

Pamela Wolfe - I'm so glad you found the channel too! And jinx...I did a majority of things by myself when I was married :) I love free palette wood and have made quite a few things out of palettes...This privacy screen, a full length mirror, a wall hanging mirror and a garage organizer. There are a lot of people out there that don't like palette projects...but I love them. You can't beat free wood! Can't wait to hear about all of the things you make out of palette wood!

New subscriber here. This was the first video I've watched of yours(so far). You sold me. Instantly subscribed.
I absolutely loved how the project turned out. I can't wait to check out more of your content.
Keep up the great work!
DITTO‼️👍
Pretty cool! Tell you what - I don't want your drill at all!
Love your energy and personality!
That is awesome! and so are you! So glad Jen loved it!
Hi I have never seen your videos before. I subscribed and liked, more like Loved! At first I didn't really get it. Once you put that stain on you would never know it was pallet wood. Looks really Great, and I like the irregular boards. Next time I see a Pallet on the side of the road I will pick up. GREAT RESULT!
anne green - YAY! So happy you found the channel!! Thank you so much for subscribing...it means more than you can imagine. While not the best quality wood ever on the planet...pallets are free (if you can find them near a dumpster or on the side of the road) and you can make some pretty great things out of them. I've made this privacy screen, a yard tool organizer and a couple of mirrors...all for free! You have got to let me know if you end up find a pallet and creating something amazing.
You are so smart and funny! Love it.😂
I luv watching your videos!!! Your sooo funny and real!!!
Great video,, I love drilling and screwing..
Tommy_G - Get your mind out of the gutter :) But I know what you mean...I love drilling and screwing too :) So glad you liked the video. Thank you for leaving a comment...it means a lot.
@@ThisisRealLifeWithSheri I liked it so much, I am now a subscriber..
And my mind has been stuck in the gutter for a long time now,, no getting it out😏
absolutely genius! you are hilarious! looking forward to binge watching your channel! :)
your great!! awesome
Love you Sheri, you're so "Cool"I love your videos, they're the best, funny as heck, I'd love to have you as a neighbor!
first time seeing your video! loved it! girl if you were my roommate, we would be doing a better homes and garden photo in my yard love, love your ideas!
Tina Hines - Hell yeah we would! I love spending time in my backyard...it's like my happy place. I have tons of ideas for my new back yard...so stay tuned.
Me too! ....was trying to come up with cheap ways I could build some privacy because yeah..dont want to look at my neighbors...thank you! 💞 You rock and you're so funny!
That looks really nice! I bet teacher Jen would love for you to stay.
Wow you are good🌹I couldn't even begin to do that🌷Looks fabulous, I love it, beautiful job🌺 Teacher Jen is not going to want you to leave!!!💓
Love the way your creative mind works.
You are about as crazy as I am. Love it.
Awesome job and cheap. Your are amazing
What a nice screen! And, even though you had some glitches, you did a wonderful job! Nice Job!
Genius! New Subbie.
B. Chaney - YAY! Thank you so much!!!
A new bench is $600- to $900- , the rope to replace it is under $75- . It worked out great for me .
Michaela Maestas - OMG! You actually completed what I tried starting?! I'm super impressed! So happy it worked out for you. In the end, Jen and I were able to find a new outdoor sofa on sale at our local At Home. While it wasn't $75 it did save me a lot of time. :)
I just came across your video and stopped by to see what you're all about. Oh my goodness! What a great video! You are very talented and I thoroughly enjoyed watching your creativity! Keep up the good work. Thumbs up, and I subscribed.
Good Monday morning Sheri. Excellent video with superb production values. Lovely craftsmanship. I'm definitely going to build one of these. 😉😉👍👍
Sheri you are clever. Love the way you stay on budget with your projects. Looks nice. Well done girly.
I live close to the road. I got tired of having to consider which direction I was pointing my ass every time I bent over. I dump shopped one of those gagebo and used ttook it all apart. corners give two narrow trellises. Top rails gave me a long top rain. Added some conduit. Sewed simple black and white striped shade cloth top pocket to go over conduit. Used some hose clamps to clamp the conduit to the top rail of the narrow tellis pieces and Woo Hoo. I have a 35 foot privacy screen. Not total privacy but it feels so much more private when I am on the other side of it. I LOVE it. A couple sticks of coundite under 10.00. Hose clampscome free to me from friend that Well never mind they are free and no she is not stealing them. Have shit to do here but can't wait to come back and watch somemore of your videos later.
beautiful
Nice that you can also plant another plant on the other side of the screen. It would have been cool to put some wheels underneath to move when ever you need it moved or to change the side whenever one side of plant needed more sun. You could also make a crate type box surrounding only the bottom of the screen to store some misc. items.
so fun
I love you ! You made my day! I'm going to do this ! It's really beautiful! Thanks so much ! Blessings!🕊️🤍
Love your wit !! My kind of lady. Just subscribed. From Connecticut, 84yo.
Well done!
Rosa Fodor - Thank you so much!
A beautiful indigo blue songbird crashed into my back patio window today and died as a result. I read online that it is helpful to place barriers in front of windows to help birds not crash like that. This project fills the bill, thank you so much!
Omgggoshhh!!!
I want to be YOU when I grow up!
Wow ...really! Doesn't look cheep & definitely doesn't look like it's a screen... Looks more like a wood lattice... But what ever you call it, it's a good job but not what I'm looking for!😮
you did an awsome job!!!! its looks great and keeps your nosy neighbors away!!!!
So awesome! ☺️
It looks great. Love your energy
I would use pool noodle on arms and legs, supportive fence of some kind, zip ties for the seats. Pretty cushions.
If all else fails it's a planter
I really really wanted to see pictures of the cushions at 1st. Enjoyed your video
UH-MAZING!!! Love it!
That's beautiful!
@theathea3064 - Thank you so much. This one did turn out pretty good if I do say so myself :)
@@ThisisRealLifeWithSheri Wow!! I wish I was like you all handy and stuff since I'm all by myself. How did you learn?
Great job! It looks very nice.
Wow! What an awesome project! Turned out great
Awesome
What a very interesting idea, very good.
@realbeautifulbeauty1556 - Thank you.
Great work Sheri!👏🏻👍👍
That’s gorgeous.
Beautiful Privacy fence...Great job!!!!!
I know your tools werei storage. I use a large C clamp to push the tabs on the screw gun battery to get it out. Short arthritic fingers. I got tired of asking neighbor to pull battery for me. Great video.
Awesomeness 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I love it!! You are funny with that mouth of yours 😅😂😂😂
Oh you almost had me go DIY a privacy fence cause of your double dare. I realized there isn’t a yard here 😂
@MissDragonflies - You are too funny! I love it! 😂
That is so spot on exactly what I need to keep my nosy buggers out lol xx
Hi Sheri, brand new viewer here, love your work and ideas. I had to share that another source of nice free wood is at Home Depot or Lowes, the packing wood they use. They have these really sturdy boards with a ridge down one side. No nails and Home Depot just throws them away if they do not reuse them. I go in, scope out what I can find and then ask a friendly associate if it is okay for me to take them with me. Figure I would share the idea, I'm always on the hunt for free wood to use and ideas like this privacy screen. Love it.
Awesome job
It is BIG😂
Barbara Beckley - Thank you. It is super big...but since I made it out entirely out of pallet wood...it was free!
late to this party but you gotta new sub just for the proper use of swear words
Melinda Perkins - Oh Melinda...I honestly can't thank you enough for your comment. I'll tell you what...this video has been getting a lot of traction lately and man have the easily offended come out of the woodwork. Thank you for letting me speak like the adult that I am...that we all are, for that matter. I mean seriously...could I really call the channel "This is Real Life" and not swear while building a giant privacy screen out of palette wood? I think not :)
@@ThisisRealLifeWithSheri well, we ladies are too busy building cool shit with loud power tools to hear complaints from those with delicate ears and they can go get effed by their fiddlesticks😂
Love your video! I connect! When I do DIY Projects I tend to let a wirty dord or two slip too….lol. Keep up your work! You make it very practical!
YOU GO GIRL!
Love it!!!
😂👍🏿🤣👍🏿 great video!
Love it
Beth Johnson - Thank you so much.
The scissors tapping your temples 😂
Awesome video! Love it!
Kansas winds would blow this right over 😟
Great job!!
love it all - thank you for sharing!
You are hilarious and I loved this video! Looks great!
Project begins at 11:50
Sandi Newton - Thanks for noting the time stamp :)
Love the new privacy sceen. I need one for my garden to block my nosy child neighbours with their balls that keep coming over the fence. Q: What is the cheapest way to make a long 10 foot wide fence, higher (ie 5ft to 6ft)? Thanks.
Jackie Ruffoni - Without seeing exactly what you are talking about and assuming that you already have the 10' wide fence in place (and you are not removing it to build a new fence)...it sounds to me like you might just need a topper to make your current fence taller. I would run over to your local home improvement store and purchase a 1/8-in x 48-in x 8-ft piece of Traditional Lattice for about $40. Cut the lattice in half lengthwise so you have two pieces that are 1/8-in x 24-in x 8-ft. Then grab some 1-in x 2-in wood and build a frame around your lattice for stability and then mount your framed lattice to the top of your fence. This will gain you 2' in height and cost around $50/$60. It should end up looking something like this: www.lowes.com/pd/Actual-5-708-ft-x-8-ft-Western-Red-Cedar-Lattice-Top-Wood-Fence-Panel/1000241459
Hope that helps...or at least gives you some inspiration :)
Looks so good 👍🏽
Lol so I’m on here looking for privacy from those “NOSEY NEIGHBORS” similar to your jungle gym climbing kids 😂😂 thank you for the tip. Definitely going to try this! 🥰
Awesome job!!
Earned a follower 😍
First time viewer. You are so funny, intelligent, and super talented. WOW Excellent job on the privacy screen. I wish you were my friend. I'm tired of my DIY projects looking way better in my head. The finished product usually looks like a child did it. I will be visiting again.
Karen Hurd - Thank you so much for saying so. I can't tell you how much it means to me that you took the time to, not only watch my video, but to comment on it. Not joking...one of the sweetest comment I have read all day. And believe me...most of my DIY ideas turn out way better in my head and half the time...I'm just like, "Just go with it...it's fine". Honestly, I think we are our own worst critics. While you think your DIY looks like a child did it, everybody else probably think it looks amazing.
Love this!!!
Mermaid DIYArtist - Thank you so much!
