DIY projects are my passion. But I wimped out of pavers or concrete and opted for this decorative rock pathway. I used mulch glue and grid patterns to stabilize the tiny gravel and it made for the BEST sidewalk ever. Hats ⬇️ designsbydonnie.com/product/i-dont-know-i-just-work-here-hat/

Have ever wondered how robotic lawn mowers work? Or if they work? Well, I got one for me and made this video for you!

fence
I am looking at a 10x8 metal shed that in total cost less than it would cost me to sheet a DYI build. The metal alone for the siding and roof at 3.60 a linear foor for 3 foot wide panels would cost 475 bucks vs the shed I could buy complete for 400 bucks. Only cost me making the floor. No framing costs or anything else. There is a place for DIY but with the cost of materials in 2024 from say home depot forget about it. Heck for that price I could buy 2, join them together and have a 10x16 shed for under 900 bucks. lol Edit: Not to mention throw a 3 foot pony wall under them for hardly nothing and have an 8 foot entrance and ceiling.
link please
Very nice!!! Love it!
The voiceover with your testimony is refreshing I enjoy it and is what draws me to your videos
Do you have the plans for this project on your website? I can't find them.
I hoped that you called the sewer and gas company before you used that pole auger. Otherwise it would cost you a lot more money…
THAT’S beautiful!! Your mitered-corners are spot-on!! Your project proves it’s the details that make the difference! You asked about rodent/snake deterrent ideas. This is slightly labor intensive, but it’s something that has worked for me EVERY time (it kept coyotes and bobcats out of my chicken coop!): Use a long spade and make a “trench” right next to the bottom edge of the deck. Make it at least 8” to 10” deep and go all the way around your deck. Using a roll of hardware clothe -a very puncture resistant metal “mesh” - cut 16” to 18” strips. Save yourself massive amounts of time and pain by investing in a shear attachment to cut this hardware clothe. DeWalt makes one for about $60!! Tap these strips of hardware cloth down into the trench the ground. Since this will be an after-build install, you’ll have to pop off that bottom “skirt” trim so you can staple the hardware clothe to your bottom deck skirt. The mesh is very hard. Rodents cannot chew through it and it is painful on the paws and claws of larger animals.
You wouldnt want a neighbor with pink pokadots? Im gone.
It looks amazing
Very Well Done!!! / many thanks to your wife for her Service 🇺🇸
This is great. Just wish I had a planer and sander like your's.
Anyone saying 401k is a waste of money is trying to make money out of you
I have a piece that I need to fill huge cracks. What is the quickest and fastest way that I can use for this project?
Awesome, I will be sharing your story with my kids. Great work and Great motivation.
That looks so great! Very creative! Love it! I had no idea there was mulch glue!
OH HELL YEAH.
back at it again my man, great job and came out looking awesome. cant wait for the next 👍
Challenging but definitely super appreciated project!
I lived in an HOA place once. I’ll never do it again. Most of the rules are ridiculous and make zero sense

No rocks or roots not like where i live we almost need dynamite 🧨 to get a hole in the ground
You went to the ER for a splinter? That’s on you bud. What do you think ER stands for? Emergency Room. The fact that you considered a splinter an “emergency” is your own fault. Next time go to an urgent care and you would probably have spent under $200.
I totally agree with you. And I went to the urgent care and they turned me away and said they only see patients with colds, fevers, flu’s… basically a sickness. They said anything other than that need to go to an ER. But instead of going to the ER, I called my family doctor to squeeze me in for an appointment and after I saw the doctor he told me the exact same thing that the urgent care said. So… just like you said, that’s how I thought and I explained that to my doctor and he said “no” that’s not how the healthcare system works. He was nice and respectful but he said always go to the ER for everything other than being sick. With that being said, I went home and tried to have my wife take it out and she couldn’t get it and it was causing tremendous pain so I went to the ER. I learned a bunch from this experience and since then I have had several discussions with my doctor about this out of fun and learning. Basically the healthcare system is not what we all think. The joke is on us! But I find it funny that you would think that I would get a splinter and just rush off to the ER lol 😂
I really like what you did for the entire pergola. I would like to purchase 10’ x 13’ one. It would be great you could send the discount code. Thanks! 🎉
Busy Bee way better than Buckees
Of course its cheaper to DIY. I was quoted 10k for my deck. The material cost was $2000. Did it myself, saved 8k.
My install quote (split with neighbor) was $9,000, so $18,000 I DIY'd it myself and just charged the neighbor for supplies (there 1/2). Excluding my labor cost total bill was $4,000 - 1/2 = $2,000 my material cost. And? I know for a fact my quality is far superior to the contractors.
Why did you have to add wallboard when there was existing drywall there already? Does the Evo stone require a depth that was thicker than your current drywall? Also - what kind of wallboard do you put up? It looks great and I’m interested in using this kind of stone facade in a project of mine.
Where did you get your sofa seats from ? Any link ?
i want to DIY but army messed up my back. since its under 100ft long ,1 straight away, i'll get someone to do it.
I noticed at the end you changed the outlets in your kitchen splash to something more pronounced, because the brick veneer sunk them in really deep. Which product did you choose for that? Awesome job brother. Happy wife, happy life.
😳why 5
probably the nicest diy sheds ive seen lol
Any material be it rock, soil, mulch is going to be at least twice as much at Lowe's, Home Depot, or Ace as it is from your local yard. However, if you don't have a truck or trailer to haul away yourself, the delivery fee will eat you alive on these small projects. At my local yard, they charge a flat $50 for the first ten miles, then a per-mile rate. So obviously for a dozen bags worth of material you'll win at Lowe's versus Yard + Delivery
Looks really nice-- Pls send me a link.
I think the best part about this video is your positive attitude. The project looks great but hearing you overcome criticism while busting your ass is inspiring. Keep up the hard work 👍
I don't understand the reason for having 5 sheds. Seems like 2 sheds with larger dimensions would be more practical.
My first home was a pre-construction and had an HOA. My current forever house no HOA thank GOD! HOA would have been a complete deal-breaker for me this second time around ❤ anyway, I have some diying to do on my backyard without anyone's approval but my own 😊
The happiest moment of a trip is coming home and lying on your couch
The only place where I disagree with you is not everyone has the tools todo it
Nicely done, but why 5 small sheds? It is unusual
Thx Donnie, i go in dirt too. All i found i do self. Lern from every project and go bigger. U do fantastic. Thx
Youre going to regret that stone as a back splash the first time you have to clean it.
Pecky cypress is the best
Looks great! One advantage of doing it yourself is that you put in some quality where some contractors are just there to get it done and move to the next job.
Where did you get the wall mount plate holder?
Ummm... ya left out the cost for all tools & equipment. Your table saw... that's $5k easy (SawStop cabinet, right?). Big Grizzle bandsaw, $2k? Tools & equipment make up a big portion of what trades are charging you for. Labour is labour. If you're playing a person to do a job, that person deserves a living wage at min. Craftsmanship is extra.
I agree with you and I’m not saying that the contractors are charging too much but I am saying if you want to save a crap ton of money then you need to DIY it. The tools needed are so minimal. One doesn’t need my tools to accomplish this project. The better the tools the easier it will be but totally not necessary. You could use a jig saw or circular saw and a Brad nailer. But if you want to give a fortune away for this type of work to a contractor then it’s alright by me but I think saving the money and doing it yourself is the way to go.
I want the discount
Well here in Australia I have been quoted $30,000 to replace our deck boards. I priced up materials and they came to $4500 for composite boards including railings. 8m x 2.7m deck and was told 3 days work for the contractor. No trades person is worth $8500 a day for their time. I’ll be doing it myself.
Great job. I really enjoyed your video.
