We are coming full circle! Our very first episode was a deep dive into Cheap vs. Quality tools, and today we are returning to that concept to tackle home products and DIY materials. From the "science" of top-shelf paint to the nightmare of peel-and-stick wallpaper, we’re breaking down where to invest and where you can actually afford to save.
The reno industry is flooded with "beginner-friendly" products that are actually designed to fail. We discuss why your "bargain" flooring might be unclicking itself as you speak and why Arly almost lost a finger trying to use a miter saw as a handheld tool.
BIG NEWS! 🏆
We officially won the Saint Johns Business Incubator Challenge! We’re sharing the "Shark Tank" style presentation experience and how this win is funding our upcoming in-person DIY classes.
What you’ll learn in this video:
Paint Science: Why Sherwin Williams is the "top-shelf vodka" of the paint world and why cheap "barn paint" is a trap.
Flooring & Levelers: Why "liquid floor leveler" is a marketing gimmick that can end up leaking into your basement.
Wallpaper Wisdom: Why we emphatically say NO to peel-and-stick or pre-pasted wallpaper.
Lumber 101: How to tell the difference between "wet" and "dry" lumber using a moisture meter.
The "Cheek Test": Our secret trick for picking the perfect paintbrush at the hardware store.
The Village Vision:
We are officially partnering with a local Girl Scout troop to teach young girls how to build! We are also dreaming up a weekend-long "Handyma’am Intensive" for Fall 2026.
