  • Hey, My name is Tom. I don't know about you but I find myself wanting to DO everything myself. I consider myself a Jack Of All Trades. Master of none. What you'll find here will be anything from building or fixing cars or trucks, building or remodeling projects and everything in between. I get myself into some pretty interesting situations.
    I'd love it if you subscribed so we can stay in touch... You might even learn something. I know I will!
    Thank you for watching!!

    Honestly, a series of what every young person needs to know before moving out on their own. What you would want your kids to know. Changing a tire. Fuse box. Hanging a picture. Caulking. Changing a light fixture. Swapping out a faucet. Toilet repair. Basic home and car maintenance. And a playlist for these things too!

    • @slcspomer
      @slcspomer Год назад +9

      Yes! This is a great idea! I actually did this for my kids a couple years ago. We always pick a different themed project to do in the summer and that year we had a "summer of life skills". Each day during our 60+ days of summer break we showed our girls how to do something. They were 8 and 11 at the time and still remember many of the things we taught them but we'll probably need to go over some of the things again!

    Congratulations on reaching 40K!! I am looking forward to watching your videos! It's so hard to find anyone to do work around my house for me. I need to put a dead bolt on my front door, it only has a single door knob. Yes, not very safe! Metal door, just need to know how to drill the whole for the dead bolt, and then setting the plate on the door jam. Thank you, Tom! God bless you all!

    A few ideas - 1) replace weatherstripping on the bottom of a front door 2) replace weatherstripping on the bottom of the garage door 3) Landscaping - we have what I consider is an area between our garage and the front walk that would be a good place for a flower bed. We live in the Cascade foothills (pacific northwest) and have been advised to not put mulch or such close to the house due to the wildfire danger. I'd love to get advice on how to get rid of the weeds, then how to put down a weed barrier and how to choose rock to go over the area -- I then plan to do big flower pots with flowers in them. 4) Measuring for window blinds and hanging blinds (or should we hire this? LOL). 5) Patching holes in walls. Thanks in advance for the videos! I'm excited to watch them. Have fun!

    I know you said it was boring, but I'd love more instructions on installing, fixing and moving pex water lines. Whoever installed ours did a horrible job and there is just a mess of lines in our basement and under our sinks. Also, I'd love to see a video of installing a garbage disposal where there wasn't one.
    Really, I will watch pretty much anything you post, but include what you keep saying is the boring stuff 😂. It's not boring to all of us, and you have a way of simplifying things to an understandable level.

    Hanging curtains over a wide window. Changing a thermostat to a programmable one. Installing tip proof brackets on furniture. Changing a bathroom fan. Recaulking around sinks/tubs. Sealing grout on floor tiles. Anything on home maintenance that people might not think of. I feel like we get a house and nobody tells us little things we can do to keep it in top shape BEFORE there is a problem. Converting stairs from carpet to literally any other flooring option. I could go on and on. I can't wait to watch this series!

    How about what tools you need for day to day maintenance on houses and the same for a toolbox for working on vehicles? Easy to get carried away with gadgets but you have the experience to know what you really need for both types of jobs. Helpful info for people starting out.

I'm an extreme introvert so even writing these comments is A LOT for me.

    Hi Tom. I think this is a wonderful idea. It should bring in lots of new subscribers. I have a very old house, and I could probably keep you busy for over 2 1/2 weeks by myself. Currently, my biggest problem is my screen doors no longer fit, they don't close properly. Last year my son-in-law replaced one, he reframed it and put in a new metal door. but within 2 weeks it already didn't close tightly, and it gets a little worse all the time. it's gapping at the top and bottom. He tried adjusting the hinges, which didn't help. Any ideas? My next project is painting my kitchen cabinets. I don't know where to begin. The doors are wood, and the drawer fronts are plastic. Thanks for all the help you've already provided on your channel.
