Had this video recommended to me on YT and thought someone here would enjoy it. It's using straw to protect a wall you know is going to get hit by more wind and rain than the others. https://youtu.be/afix6HfLwvk?si=v9ypE98EK1uG_Scp

Hey all, I'm looking for some advice on how to gain hands-on Masonry and Carpentry experience without dedicating time to a school or full apprenticeship. Obviously, there is the YouTube and DIY option, but I'd like to network, have some mentoring, and constructive critiques on my practice. I am open to suggestions for your favorite basics YT channels too, though!
