  • Pour a Perfect Concrete Slab
    The show returns with a topic near and dear to my heart: pouring a concrete slab, or driveway. I hail from a long line of brick masons and have poured many a driveway and basement. Whether helpful to aid in your sleep or DIY house needs, I hope you enjoy.

    Whether you're binging another TV series, catching up on old movies, or watching the NFL playoffs, it's a joy to do it on a mounted TV. I mounted my TV a few months back and have been meaning to feature the manual from my Sanus Full-Motion Wall Mount. The time has come. Enjoy!

  • Balance Basic Body Composition Scale
    The calendar flips to 2021 and health resolutions abound. While I do believe in a year-long focus on health, I'm like plenty of others who slack from time to time during the year, notably from mid-November through December. Therefore, when I glanced down in my bathroom and thought of a recent attempt at capturing my goals for the year, I realized the perfect manual was staring back at me: my scale. Enjoy!

  • Sorry! (FLASHBACK)
    As I return from time spent home for the holidays, I smile at instant memories of playing Sorry! (and coming in 2nd place :) ) with my family. There's nothing better than laughs and cherished time with all of them. So, due to travels, I bring to you the intsructions of still one of my favorite board games of all time. Happy holidays!
    Flashback description!
    The game has started. You've moved your blue pawn across the majority of the board of play. You're 2 spots from the safe zone. Your turn is up next and all it will take is one card pull to get you in. Then your friend pulls a card, smirks, flips it over, and says "Sorry!" while she swaps out a red pawn from her start area with your oh-so-close to home blue pawn. You grumble and continue on, hoping the luck turns in your favorite next time around. 
    Sorry!, the game of sweet revenge, is featured.
