This coming week is the week to build a porch, and I am quite unsure about how it will go. In this weeks episode I talk through the process I am going to through. Some of the materials and tools I that are needed, and overall what needs to be done.
It isn’t a long episode as I have put most of my attention into prepping to do this project, but there is an update on the hydroponics system.
Next weeks episode should be very interesting as it will be a discussion of the work I do this week.
Getting children involved in making, farming, chores etc is something I am unaccustomed to. This weeks episode focuses on 5 things I have put into action over the last few months, and seems to be working, at least a little bit.

Trailering a truck can be super nerve wracking if you have never done it before. This wek was my first time. So lets talk about it.

I also discuss the upcoming porch project, and give one of the last updates on the hydroponics project as it is winding down.
This week is short, but packed with information.
Search Engine Optimization is important, but it isn’t as hard as a lot of people make it out to be. There are some key principles that if you can follow will go a long way before you need to get to the advanced and intricate stuff.

This week it is short and simple with a couple of lessons to take away along the way.

This week I walk through the steps to the project to lay the groundwork for upcoming work and projects.
I also update on a few things that happened this week towards making more 3D printed products to sell.
If you have ever wanted to sell something on ebay and been intimidated by it, well you are not alone. I was super nervous to sell something on ebay because of all of the unknowns, and not wanting disappoint a customer.
Well I finally sucked it up, posted something on ebay and it was purchased. The process had some hiccups, but that was because the customer wanted to buy a bit of a different way than I posted.
Other than that selling on Ebay was a breeze.
So join me in this episode where I tell you about the process of listing, selling, customer interaction, shipping and results. All things I wish I could find information on in one place before
