In this video, I’m sharing how learning to do my own repairs completely changed my life. From working on my 4Runners and building out our school bus (skoolie life!) to DIY home repairs and maintenance, I’ll break down how picking up these skills saved us money, boosted my confidence, and gave me real freedom.

I’ll walk you through my journey — starting from building toys, to simple car maintenance, to learning 12v and 110v electrical systems, solar power setups, plumbing, framing, flooring, and everything in between.

If you’re thinking about doing your own car repairs, home DIY projects, or even tackling bigger builds like a bus conversion or off-grid solar system, this video is for you.
I also talk about the honest reality of DIYing: the money you save vs. the time you spend.

🔧 Topics I cover in this video:
How learning DIY repairs changed my life
How I learned car maintenance and vehicle repairs
How building a skoolie taught me electrical, plumbing, and construction
The truth about saving money with DIY vs paying contractors
My real experience

🔩 Whether you're starting with basic auto repairs, home improvement projects, or dreaming of your own off-grid bus build, it all starts with learning and taking that first step.

If you like working on your car, truck, or home — or if you want to learn how to start — this video will show you how DIY projects can change your life too.
