Grease under your fingernails? I’d say that’s Grease under your fingernails? I’d say that’s a good way to spend a Wednesday! 😉 Today was a beautiful and super busy day to take care of some things on my to-do list! My John Deere Lawn Tractor is heading to a new home- surreal being my first big tool purchase after we bought our property- but before we say goodbye, I had a few things that needed servicing. Switched the deck belt, filter change and tightened up a few rattling bolts as well as repaired the deck relay switch. It got a bath too- that was much needed! All in- a successful day with a little engine grease! I got a chance to use my new @gearwrenchtools Ratcheting Wrenches too- and y’all- those 90 teeth make a world of difference! The 4-degree swing arc also is a big improvement, and is really helpful in tight spaces! Since I primarily use tools like this for engine work or tool repair- I’m pumped to have these in the collection! The 18-piece set is on sale at @homedepot right now for $69.97- so check them out if you’re in the market! I’m grateful to join @homedepot #thdprospective program this year and will keep sharing some seriously cool tools with y’all! #thehomedepot #homedepot #mechanic #tools #handtools #wrenches #bolts #enginework #gearwrench #toolsofthetrade #ratchet #ratchetingwrenches #doers #enginerepair #johndeere #tractor #womenmechanics
New tool- who is this?! 😍 okay- it’s kind of New tool- who is this?! 😍 okay- it’s kind of a toy too! 😉 Yesterday I got a super special delivery- a Polaris Ranger UTV! I’ll be playing around with this for a few months- it’s a loan to help with some of the bigger projects on the property, but let’s be real- I’ll definitely be buying one for sure! My kids were instantly obsessed but truth be told- It came off the truck and went right to work! I’ve look at these a few times over the years, so I am extra excited to put this through its paces! It’s like a truck and a mower had a baby! Spent a chunk of the day finishing the framing on the Raised beds- used my @sencobrands Framing Nailer and a few @besseytools_northamerica Clamps and my @skilpowertools Miter Saw. @polarisorv #polarisranger #polaris #utv #offroad #mobilework #mobileworkshop #offroading #offroadnation #property #propertyowner #propertyinvestment #toolsofthetrade
That’s a wrap on these stools y’all! What do y That’s a wrap on these stools y’all! What do you think?! Can we all just admire this pecan? In case you didn’t know- pecan is my favorite wood, and lord does it shine on these stools! I love all the details in the small plugs and the mix of mahogany. It was a challenging build, but one I’m super proud of! So glad to be on the @makerschallengecentral Build Team! Season 12 has been a blast! Makes sure to check out some of my fellow build teams entry, and follow #tbc12final for all of the amazing work from competitors too! You guys always amaze and inspire me! @desertwoodwrks @twomoosedesign @3x3custom @creevesmakes @lazyguydiy #build #handmade #craft #trades #tradielady #stools #hardwood #womenwoodworkers #womenwoodworkersofig #womanwoodworker #tradieladyclub #maker #makersofig #skilledtrades #woodworking
What is it about products like foam or adhesives t What is it about products like foam or adhesives that are so dang fun to use?! What’s normally a tough job is made super simple with @sikausa Post Fix! This was one product that more than lives up to its hype- and makes installing posts for fences super quick and easy. Do y’all have any products that you were obsessed with immediately?! Sika’s Post Fix is an absolute game changer! Roll the bag to break the seal, mix the content of the bag, cut a corner of the bag and pour it in. 3 minutes or so later- you’re done! Once it’s cured I used a reciprocating saw to trim the excess. One bag is equivalent to 2 50 pound bags of concrete making it exponentially easier physically. Plus- watching that foam rise is one of the coolest things ever! @make_it_right has sworn by @sikausa Post Fix and I couldn’t agree more! Glad to partner with @holmesapprovedhomes to share some of their tried and true products with you! #sika #sikausa #postfix #post #fence #holmesapproved #tradielady #tradieladyclub #womeninconstruction #womeninthetrades #install #outdoor #toolsofthetrades #post #foam #twopartysystem #concrete #concretelife
Assembly on these stools is finally wrapped! If yo Assembly on these stools is finally wrapped! If you’re looking for me- I’ll be sanding and finishing! I am rarely the person to really push a deadline but I’ll be honest that being sick most of October totally threw me for a loop, and I’m still playing catch up! Now we’re in the midst of the holidays and lord, there’s a lot happening! How do y’all handle the ride of running a small business and life interruptions? I feel like this is always what does me in, and stress is definitely not productive! Let’s hear your tips! Pulled out the Domino to tackle these angled joints today. This is a tool that always makes a complicated job easier. Takes a bit to set it up just right, but it’s well worth the effort because it’s super fast when you’re actually making the mortises! @festool_usa Domino @truewerk Hoodie- quickly becoming a favorite! @flexpowertoolsna extractor @rockler_woodworking Track Table #festool #festoolfriday #joints #joinery #tools #shoptools #woodworkingtools #domino #mortiseandtenon #mortise #festooldomino #womenwoodworkers #womenwoodworkersofig #womanwoodworker #tbc12progress #tbc12
You’re never too old to look up to your Dad- fac You’re never too old to look up to your Dad- fact! Soak up every little tip, story and words of wisdom to save for a time you need it! What are some of your favorite Dad stories- or your favorite tips or tricks you’ve learned from watching others? I was lucky to have my Dad offer a helping hand the last couple of days and it’s always fun to spend time with him, especially when tools are involved! One of the best things you can do to push your skill set is to work along side another person- experience is a part of it, but often I just find it fascinating to listen to how others approach things. All our brains work different, and it’s important to humble ourselves to be open to others approach. One of the most valuable qualities you can have in construction and woodworking is to be able to adapt. By listening to other perspectives you may find yourself thinking of a new way to tackle a problem- even unrelated ones. There are a lot of basic building principles that you can apply to others and build on, so take all of the opportunities you can to learn from others. #build #dad #raisedplanter #buildit #construction #framing #tools #dadsonduty #dadsofinstagram #dadslove❤️ #toolgirlsgarage #toolgirl #makersofinstagram #femalemaker #femalemakers #womeninconstruction #rockthetrades @ryobitoolsusa @kaprotools @skilpowertools @keenutility @truewerk
