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?

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.

What's Something You Do Often You Thought Everyone Does? I'll go first... Budgeting each month and planning your month...financially. I didn't use to do this but ever since I started doing it, it's changed my life. - I'm not stressed as much. - There are less "shocker" moments when an unexpected expense pops up. - That big bill is planned for. - When you swipe your credit or debit card, you know you're going to be able to actually pay for it. What about you? We'd love to hear something you do often!

I shared a post a couple weeks ago about installing wood fence posts. Wanted to share a video that explains it in more detail. I'm getting a lot of mixed feedback in the comments section in Facebook about pressure treated posts lasting 15+ years. I'm still of the opinion if wood is put in the ground where there is any moisture, eventually it will rot, but what do you think?

My son asked if he could help on our project today. We removed an old rotted fence post and dug down 36” so we can install a new one. Here’s my son helping me. He can barely lift our post hole digger. I couldn’t be more proud!
