I just wanted to take a moment to welcome @Susan Padley to the group. Glad to have you with us! Feel free to drop a post or comment and let me know if there is anything specific you'd like to explore. If it's something we can do I'll do my best to cover it.

Happy Friday, all! ( Well it's Friday morning here in Canada) I hope the week has been treating you all well. I missed posting yesterday. I had a wee hiccup on Thursday that kept me away from the computer. I'll be spending today and the weekend putting together a filming list to create a roadmap of topics to cover. My goal is to have a list ready by Monday or Tuesday of next week. With winter setting in here in Alberta, I am focusing on indoor-centered content for now. With that, I do need to ask, using the poll, which of the following topics would you like me to focus on? Feel free to offer suggestions in the comments. I look forward to reading them.

Happy Wednesday! Welcome to @Jamie Clemens I hope the week is treating you well so far. It's been a tad crazy over here. I've been sussing out potential content topics for the winter. Thanks to the crazy Alberta weather, filming content outside is a bit off the table for now. With that, I'm going to use most of December to focus on getting to know members and compiling a list of things that people want to know. If there is an indoor skill that you want to explore, feel free to leave a comment, and we can look at how to do that. Game plan for today is to take the girlfriend's van in for a repair assessment. While i can do most common repairs myself, this particular repair is one I cannot do myself safely, so I have to defer to the experts. After that we are off to the second hand stores looking for items for retasking projects. What do you have on the agenda this Wednesday?

Hi there, and welcome to the PinchPenny DIY'er! I’m Roy, and I’m a medically retired Gen Xer living out in west-central Alberta, Canada. Over the years, I’ve taught myself the basics of a wide range of hands-on skills such as woodworking, stick welding, and blacksmithing/ironwork to gardening, cooking, and preserving. I’m always on the lookout for practical ways to save money, and I love helping others do the same by sharing how I make, repair, or repurpose items. I’ve decided it’s time to bring what I do to the wider world. I’m excited to build a helpful, supportive community here on Skool where we can learn, create, share ideas and grow together. I'm looking forward to connecting with each of you soon! Now that winter is setting in here in Alberta, Canada, and there is currently no adequate workshop access for more complex project content until spring, I am going to ask: What would you like to explore? Recipes? Kitchen hacks? General guides on basic home repairs? My goal is to make this an interactive community through feedback and conversation. I'm looking forward to batting around some ideas to add to my current list of topics.
