This video needs a backstory. Let’s start at the beginning. We’ve always dreamed of having a space where we could workout together as a family, and so the plan to create a “garage gym” started about 3 years ago. Over the past 3 years I have diligently collected everything you see in this video for way under actual cost, if not free in a lot of cases. Like all the blue and black mats you saw I got for FREE. My local gym had them piled up outside and they were going to throw them out because they got new ones, so I scooped them up, sanitized them and they were good as used. Then the dumbbell set I got for $100 from an estate sale last year. I built the ball pit from scratch. That’s our old tv from our first house 8 years ago. I got the mirrors discounted because they were returns due to chips in the corners. And the list goes on. So with all that said, if you dream of having a garage gym, just start looking for good deals, and over time, you may too collect an entire home gym for a fraction of the cost. Now we have a place where while the adults workout, the kids get to be kids and have a blast! #DIY #garagegym

Now that our garage is officially a gym, we needed a place to park our cars, so I called my buddy who owns a construction company, and we got to work. Of course somehow we ended up doing this during the rainiest week of the year, but I’m not complaining. Thankfully I have friends in just about all trades, so we got the gutters up quick, everything painted and then had another buddy who’s an electrician came out to install the lights. I learned a ton throughout this project and most of all I had a blast doing it with some of my best friends! I even stained the beams to match my front door, so hopefully it all ties together. I’d love to know, do you like it before or after? #DIY #parkinglean #shed

Was it perfect? No. Did I forget to order the cake until the last minute and have to make it myself? Yes. Did it take longer than what I thought? Way longer. Did it taste good? Yes. But most importantly, Did she love it? Absolutely. Drop a tip or trick in the comments to how I could improve my baking skills! 🙏🙌 #baking #cake #unicorncake #birthdaycake

Have I ever wrapped a wall before? No. Was it harder than I expected? Yes. But more importantly, was it worth it? Absolutely. I asked one of my county’s elementary schools if there was anything I could do to help, and since the weather prevented us to do anything outdoors, we decided to focus on something indoors. They initially asked if I could do a painted mural on the wall, but I didn’t trust my artistic abilities to span 50 feet across a wall, so I learned how to vinyl wrap. Thankful to have a friend who helped me design and print this wrap out that I got to donate to the school to help bring this cafeteria back to life. Thankful for the opportunity to help and can’t wait for the next project. #DIY #wallwrap #donation

Yes, this will be anchored to the wall when not in mobile use. But the real question is, why do we have 4 kid’s cars? Apparently we are the place where people donate their old Power Wheels to hopefully have another life. So be expecting some more projects coming soon. I was going to just build a simple rack, but you know me, I can’t just build a basic stackable rack. I had to make it look like a mini hydraulic parking garage, because well…. Why not? #DIY #powerwheel #parkinggarage #powerwheelparkinggarage

#ad “These are the good old days” has been mine and my wife’s motto since we started dating. So what better Valentine’s Day gift than using my @Cricut to bring our motto to life. #ad I changed up the saying for our kids hoodies and went with “every day is a good day”. Because kids always seem to find the good in each day, no matter what. I hope everyone that reads this posts is having a good day and feels loved, and if no one’s told you yet today, you are incredible, and you are loved. #happyvalentinesday #cricutmade

I’ve done a handful of DIY projects in my life, but this might actually be the most useful one I’ve ever done. Does it always stay organized? No. Does it still help? Absolutely! Especially with the chargers where we can charge our phones and watches and know where all our items are at all times. If you have a little closet by your door, I’d for sure encourage an extra way shoe closet addition!! #DIY #shoecloset

Who votes that I open a pancake house where I make character shaped pancakes for kids all day?! #pancakeart #breakfast #pancakes

#ad #BabyJergensPartner Saturdays are for the girls! My wife has a workout and coffee date with her friends and I get to hang with our girls. We have been absolutely loving @Baby Jergens new products for bath time, bed time, and all the time. You can get the entire Baby Jergens line now on Amazon!

I mean, what did she expect to happen? 😉 I made this last year, think I should try to build a better one this year? #snackstadium #SuperBowl

Raise your hand if your kid has ever had a rainbow and unicorn themed party! I think we’ve been to three in the past year, that’s why I built that photo wall for other people to use also. And to answer your question, yes, those unicorn balloons are still floating around our house. #birthdayparty #decorations #birthday

Could I have made these inside? Maybe. Would my kids have as much fun watching me from the window? Absolutely not. Plus I don’t even think I own a big enough pan to make these inside. What pancake character should I try to do next for my kids? #pancakes #pancakeart

As you know, we love having family movie nights and my wife mentioned how cool it would be to have a little candy wall for special occasions, so I got to work! $16 in wood, $20 in plexiglass and a few bags of candy and we have our own candy dispenser for our movie nights. And yes, I mounted it high enough on the wall that the kids can’t reach it without our help, hence the sticker on the front. What do you think, would you hang this on your wall? #DIY #candymachine

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that by posting on social media I’d meet some of my best friends, get to do projects to improve my local community, and be invited on the @Kelly Clarkson Show. Thank you to everyone to follows along and supports this page, you all make this possible for me and my family and I’m forever grateful for each one of you. Can’t wait to share what we have in store for this year! #DIY #thankful

Is it a pergola or a gazebo? I have no clue. Everyone tell my mother-in-law happy birthday because she’s incredible and she deserves all the love!! She’s been wanting this to be taken down for years now, so today was the day. I’m trying to convince her we should pull out the deck and replace it with concrete and grass, but we will see. Let me know what you think of this style video!! #DIY #teardown #gazebo #pergola

#ad First one to guess what game I’m building wins a digital high-five!!! Who knew that a few cans of @Rust-Oleum and a sheet of plywood could make such a cool party centerpiece. #ad #RustOleumPartner I’m a big fan of Rust-Oleum’s new Low Odor spray paint because it made the painting process more enjoyable and saved me time with no wait time between coats. #FreshWayToPaint Be sure to check it out next time you’re doing a project. Link in bio to find where to get it!

Someday they won’t be so excited about macaroni and cheese, sparkling apple juice and date night with dad, but for now, I’m going to soak it in. Thankful for the opportunity I get to spend these nights with my daughters, and equally as thankful for my wife who is the most incredible mother to our little girls. I hope everyone has a great day today and calls someone they love just to let them know. #datenight #ValentinesDay #dad

I was trying to do a cool 360 at the beginning… ended up not being cool. A friend of ours had outgrown this quad, and then it was left in the rain for a year and didn’t work anymore, so they were giving it away for free. If you know me, you know I’m all about bringing things back to life, and this one seemed like a simple one! So first up was obviously a good cleaning, then a fresh coat of my daughter’s favorite paint color, followed up with all new wiring, batteries, and even some headlights, taillights, and underglow. Next, I wrapped the tires in some bike tires to give them more traction and make it quieter on the road, and finished it off with some custom graphics that my daughters helped me pick out. I think it turned out pretty cool, and I always love extending the life of these kids cars, but I’d love to know, what should I do next?!? #DIY #powerwheel #kidsquad

Never in a million years did I think posting videos on the internet would lead to countless core memories with my family, meeting some of my best friends, and getting to do projects like this in my local community for free. I have so much in store for the coming year and all I can say is THANK YOU. I couldn’t do it without you. 🫶 #DIY #basketball
