How to hang something heavy on your Walls without using Drywall Anchors!
I wanted to share one of my best tips: How to hang anything heavy on your wall WITHOUT using drywall anchors. Check out our short video to see how we do it. Once you try it, we guarantee you'll never use sheetrock anchors again to hang up your towel rods or curtains! This method ensures nothing will ever fall off your walls again and you'll never need to patch massive holes from your failed drywall anchors!

@Ryan Morency pretty sweet huh? I learned it a few years ago from some carpenters. My mind was blown!

@Ryan Morency haha. Totally. Thanks for the idea.
End of 2025...
It has been such a great and crazy year. Personally, I feel like it's been a "refining" year for me with personal struggles and trials trying to teach me patience. It's been extremely hard...a lot of things I do not hope to have repeated...but I know I've become better for having gone through them. Unfortunately, I'm not out of my trials yet but nothing I can do but keep pushing. Just wanted to say thank you for your support in our community. It really means the world to us. This is brand new to us so we are grateful for you taking this journey of DIY growth with us. Wishing you each a Happy New Year! I hope you can look back on 2025 with fondness and gratitude and see the growth you experienced amongst your struggles and trials. Wishing you the best to come in 2026 from UCanBuildThis!

Wow the Iron Man suit sounds amazing! I've never coded before but want to get into it. Very cool of you to spend so much time with your son and teaching him. I fear construction and repairs is slowing becoming a lost art. I would love to buy a fixer-upper too. Keep up the great work!
What DIY Project have you been working on this weekend?
Would love to see and hear about any DIY project you've been working on lately. Any successes, failures, or problems run into.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES(2026)
⚠️ Common Challenges in Government Contract Bidding Many businesses struggle with government contracts not because they lack capability, but because the process is complex. Common challenges include understanding solicitation requirements, meeting strict compliance rules, preparing clear documentation, and standing out in a highly competitive field. Success often comes down to preparation, accuracy, and patience.Which part of the bidding process has been the most challenging for you so far?

For any government work I have been a part of, the most difficult part is all the "red tape". There were always substantially more "hoops" to jump through which were never experienced on non-government work. One example was a small project we did with my previous employer on a new data center. Our contract was $140,000 but it was just as much work as a million dollar contract for a private company. I couldn't believe it. Everything was micromanaged and scrutinized. Needless to say we weren't profitable on our $140k project. Maybe it was because we didn't do government work a lot so we didn't know how to appropriately bid it but there just always seems to be substantially more restrictions with government work from my experience.
