    While my windows were trimmed with drywall to finish them off, they were bare and boring. Plus, I wanted a larger window ledge for displaying plants and other window decor. With some inexpensive $1.00/ft MDF primed trim, I was able to turn these windows from bare to amazing! See how it can be done in just one weekend or less on 6 windows! :)

    This is the only video out of like 20 that was detailed, and not overly intimidating. I like that there was no scary table saw lol. I feel like I can actually do this with these tools.

    I am a female in construction. My dad always want my sister and I to be independent! Our trick for trim with mitered corners is getting a small block and rabbit-ing the reveal of the casing. Less measuring and a consistent reveal. Works for everything including doors. Miters are tough but that tool makes it easier. Love your videos and your passion btw!!

    Serena, your workshop is looking awesome! I'm interested in seeing how you fix those leaks around the doors.
    My husband passed away over 25 years ago, and just last fall I discovered a brand-new pneumatic brad nailer he had purchased. Unfortunately, he never got a chance to use it. It's time for me to do a little trial and error research, and figure out how to use that tool, along with a whole bunch of his other tools.

      @@ThriftDiving I guess I'm interested in what the basic set of tools you need and what to generally use them for. Like what's the bare minimum you can get by with and still do a lot a projects. I know just jumping in and using them will help me get over my nervousness but also, there just seems to be a different tool for every little thing. It's a little overwhelming. Thanks for the link!

      @ThriftDiving  Před 2 lety +2

      Thank you!!! ❤️ I know, right. The biggest rush is that I'm ready to start using the shed. The electrician came and connected the rest of the circuits but I still need to install the devices into the receptacles. I also need seating, so I can bring my computer to work in there. So I'm still not as "done" done as I need to be to start using the space more. That's the real rush!

      @@ThriftDiving It will definitely happen. It’s always Awesome to see the outcome of your own projects. I brought a Ryobi brad nailer and drill yesterday. I brought the drill for the battery. It was a less expensive option. I already have a trusty drill but I’ll definitely make use of it. Keep up the great work. Thanks for your feedback also.

    Question for the day? Does that Ryobi jig saw really cut that smooth. I can't seem to find a jig, or saber saw, that cuts smooth. I remember you said a while back about getting smooth cutting blades. I did but my jig saws still do not cut without splitting. BTW, your shop is looking great. Look forward to when it is complete.

    Hey Serena! You did an interview maybe a year ago with a lady who was discussing a book that everyone needed to have and write down wishes to do in your parents last days. I dont see the interview on your page could your tell me the name of the book? I thought it was a great interview maybe not a topic we want to discuss but need too. Anyway, if you can link the interview and name of book it would be great.
