My Son Wanted to Earn Some Money. He Knows What To Do!
We were running low on firewood so we made a trip to the mountains on Friday. Now we have a full cache and it's time to go to work...for my kids haha. (Yes, they split all of it so they can sell it locally as firewood) 😁 How's your weekend been so far?

@Charlene Atkins Yup those are all the basics! What if we covered it on one of our live calls coming up? Not tomorrows but maybe the next one on 10/6? Would you be able to attend?

Another Use for My Modl Infinity Tools
I added a backup battery to our solar powered bird bath but there was no easy way for me to "mount" the battery: no clips, no screws, no bracket, nothing! Luckily our solar panel is on our cucumber trellis so there are lot of places to secure it BUT the battery is a smooth box so string or paracord won't hold it very well; it would just slip out. 15 seconds later, it is now securely mounted with a Modl Infinity strap which can be easily tightened and it's grippy. Love how much these products solve everyday problems in a pinch! Grab some here. You won't regret it! https://modl.com/UCANBUILDTHIS

@David Fiel For sure. I definitely hear you. Usually the best tools aren't cheap. They're also the ones you take better care of and don't have to replace as well. That being said, the Modl Infinity Tools are better bought in bulk and when they go on sale. I've had mine for 2 years now and have since thrown away all my bungee cords.

@Charlene Atkins oh cool. I haven’t heard of those before. I need to check them out. The other sea to summit stuff I have a great quality. Thanks for the recommendation

Screen door headaches
I watched Dan's video on home repairs (Aug '26) specifically, the section about replacing screen in a screen door to see if I could learn any tips and tricks. I've done this a few times, but I have a wooden screen door with vertical slats on the bottom and I like to use PET screen in mine because I have furballs. Pet screen in a wooden screen door with vertical slats is unfairly setting myself up for failure, but here we are. I have had issues with the screen popping out and have tried smaller spline, stapling the corners, etc. I can't always blame the furballs for the screen and spline popping out. Anyone with thoughts/ideas?

Hey Charlene. Great questions! Sorry it’s a pain though. Typically every time I’ve had the screen pop out it’s because I used too thick of a spline. Did you use the spline diameter it lists on the package? Other tricky thing is the pet screen is definitely thicker so I wonder if it’s not allowing it to sit down in the groove of your screen door. I’m not sure your skill level or if you have a router but you might be able to route your grooves deeper so you give your screen mesh more of a slot to sit in. Option 2 you could attach with brad nails, a thin piece of trim around the perimeter of the spline material to try and hold it in after you stuff it down. Option 3, what if you treated your screen like upholstery and stapled it down (without going into the groove at all) every inch? The only problem is, whenever you have to repair it, you’re going to need to remove all those staples.

What's Your Favorite Tool?
Mine is a Chainsaw. I don't know, maybe it's the raw power knowing I can cut down a tree in minutes when it used to take hours with an axe or saw. Maybe it's the smell of gasoline and oil. Maybe it's spending time in the mountains with my family and friends. Maybe it's knowing this tools helps us cut firewood my kids split and sell. Maybe it's coming home absolutely exhausted knowing I put in a hard days work. There are so many reasons why I love this tool and I'm grateful someone invented it because it has helped my family so much! What's your favorite tool?

What do you do before starting a project?
What's the first thing you to do before starting a new DIY project? - If I'm building something from scratch, I first try to picture it in my mind or draw/model it to see what it's really going to take to accomplish it. - If I'm fixing something that broke, first I have a little crying session and then I think about all the steps needed to fix it. This helps me evaluate how long it might take and helps me determine when I should attempt the fix. I'd love to know how you start.

@Maria Millan Very cool and you made me laugh with "I do all the options" haha. I like your thought process though. YouTube is so helpful and I like you don't copy it exactly but use it to then add your own creative process. Thanks for sharing!
