    I know that everyone’s AC unit location/surroundings are going to be different but I feel like this is one can easily be altered to fit any space. I cannot believe I made this for less that $40! Now I want to see what I can do with the ugly two units we have in our own backyard! Would you want a second version? Let me know!

    Happy Sunday! You guys asked for it so I decided to put out a little weekend DIY project. Total side note: I am testing out a new microphone so please let me know what you think about the audio/I am sorry if it is terrible. Stay tuned for a giveaway coming out in Wednesday's tutorial xx.

      Sounds great! What mic? I'm using just a cheap lapel mic I got on Amazon and I'm looking to upgrade soon.

      I need to find the link but it was definitely a bigger investment from my $25 haha.

      Lol it's always something right? I'm just getting started and I've already spent a ton and as soon as I get used to something I'm ready to upgrade already. I basically work so I can create at this point lol.

    The A/C unit cover is too close to the unit. There should be at least 12" clearance around the unit for proper air flow.

    I have a DeWalt miter saw but I'm thinking of selling it to get a sliding miter saw. I have a Milwaukee drill so maybe this one would work for me. I'll have to check the voltage on the battery my drill uses. Rach, I adore you.
