DIY Metal and Wood Gazebo Kit from Amazon
This is a great Ikea-Style DIY Metal and Wood Gazebo Kit. It comes in a few boxes and you put it together. amzn.to/4fjHvRn
Everything is already cut to fit and labeled. It took four people four hours to put this together.
Welcome to our backyard! 🌳 In this video, I'm excited to share our experience with assembling and enjoying our new 10x12 gazebo.
🏠 **Gazebo Details:**
- **Material:** Mostly wood and metal, minimal plastic.
- **Roof:** Sturdy metal roof (Note: can get loud when it rains!).
- **Size:** 10x12 roof, comfortably fits a table and chairs for up to four people.
🛠️ **Assembly:**
- We hired a team of four people who took about 4 hours to set everything up.
- Assembly Tip: One person dedicated their time to reading instructions and directing the team, which helped significantly.
🌟 **Features:**
- Metal roof and durable wooden structure.
- Includes a rod across the back for fabric closure (though not the best quality).
- We added our own curtains with shower rods for a stronger and cozier feel.
🚫 **What We Didn’t Like:**
- The rod at the back for holding fabric isn't of great quality.
🍷 **How We Use It:**
- Perfect for hosting friends for a cozy fire pit night and wine gatherings.
- Plenty of open space as we opted not to install the provided shelves.
👍 Verdict: We give it two thumbs up! It's been a fantastic addition to our backyard, providing a great space to relax and entertain. Just be prepared to dedicate some time to the assembly process.

This was a great video, this helped me in the same situation. I suggest one more thing, post your own video and link to that video as well. I also created a quick 40 second video that talked about the interview I did, pointed out a particularly good nugget and the timestamp for it and a link to the video in the description.
What mic did you use
Great video! Do you have an instruction video for wiring with a 3-way switch?
I am so sorry you had this experience :(. I have just signed up to be a sitter on Rover and committ to never having a review any thing close to this..only the best for your home and fur babies.
Hi mate.. great video. So i bought this locker stetup the code, which is a super easy process. I put the locker on my sed and tested a few times with the new code that worked fine.. After a few hours went, I stopped opening ..any advice? Thank you
Thanks for the excellent introduction to this useful item. I got one, and it works well - except for one issue. If the wall switch is ON, and I have Alexa turn the light OFF, then I unplug Alexa, (as I do at night), then when I plug Alexa back in and try the wall switch, nothing happens - even as you noted, you have to flip the switch off and on. I have to ask Alexa to turn the light on, then everything is fine. I have tried all sorts of settings, but no luck. If the light is ON when I unplug Alexa it works fine when I plug Alexa back in. Also, I didn't think that you mentioned, and I didn't see it anyplace else, that the pieces of wire that you add should be 16-20 gauge stranded. Since the house wire coming in was 14 solid, I figured that the wire I added should be as well, and that made it very difficult to push the excess into the wall box.
That's an interesting issue you have! I have multiple Alexa devices (and I'm not currently in the house where I have this set up, so I cannot test it.) As to wire sizes, I think that 14 gauge is pretty common - and I think that's what I have in my house. And I think my wiring is solid too. Luckily, this box was a bit oversized to make it easy to fit.
@@BrightonsReviewsandMore Thanks for the reply. In regard to the wire, I did some more research. It turns out that #14 is NOT a good idea because their devices are not designed to hold it. They explain that because (1) the wire that you are using with their device is so short, and (2) the load that it is going to carry is low, and (3) you run the risk of #14 solid not being held well by the bolts in their device as you squeeze everything into the wall box, you are better off (and it makes fitting everything in the wall box much easier) if you use #16 or #18. Who wudda thunk? As for my minor annoyance, I just have to make sure that I leave the light ON if I unplug Alexa at night. Thanks again.
that was very helpful
Thankkkkkkkkk youuuuuuuuuuuu Thought I was going MAD!! 🤪🙏🏻
DUDE awesome. . I am stuck in 15 degree weather at SUGARLO MOUNTAINM in Maine. My car is running , but hit locked me out !!! Thank you for this solution
Thank you
What about the audio? Can we record both audio and video? Thanks!
Thank you!!!!! I've been going crazy over this for years.
And I know I keep on leaving a lot of comments but the naked hot tub party is the one that really got me I mean oh my God lol yeah I definitely do not bring anybody in the house without the owners permission and pretty much I don’t bring even my son inside the house at all and I never even asked to bring in the end just me and the animals no one else one of the people that I’ve posted for he told me horror stories of all few of them what they did one of them did bring in people because he has a pool Florida so I was kind of having people over at the pool like a little pool party another one is he comes home and he has two guys sitting on his couch she never even asked about having anybody over and she said she was bored and she wanted company besides the animals so that really was something and the other incident is that one of them he smelled the marijuana they were smoking that stuff in his house so horror stories put on the upside he didn’t get any of those from Rover I don’t know where he got those from but they aren’t from Rover I was the first one that he got off of Rover and I think he liked me so he used me several time off Rover he paid me through Cash App the other two times but he kept using me and he wanted me again but the more reviews I get and it seems like I’m getting booked more and more and more with people and I’m getting a lot of drop in visits a lot of housesitting you know good reviews do you make a big plus I’m telling you so I couldn’t do it for him but I haven’t heard from him again after that because I said I couldn’t do it but you can only do one house sitting thing each time you can’t do two houses sit that’s feasible purpose of house so and I feel bad about it because his dog I love his little dog it’s a terrier Shih Tzu and he’s blind it’s no elderly dog but that’s the whole thing with on Rover and also taking others off Rover is that you gotta make sure you put in the Rover calendar that you’re unavailable on these dates sometimes you can forget to do that and you end up over booking and also I learned how to do that too with Rover so I don’t get another house sitting situation like that but now it’s like I’m doing great on Rover and I get repeat business and stuff like that too and even though it shows in my app I only have one repeat business because the other ones that I had I took off of Rover and they pay me through Cash App so they don’t have the Rover fee of course but now it works out good
Also part of house sitting is making sure that the house is cleaned especially before the owners come home and I have left left their house just the way when they left it or sometimes even better depending I clean up after myself I clean up after the animals and I took out the garbage when it was supposed to go out I pick up the mail I even watered their plants so I did a multitask so I’ve been raised with animals on my life and I’m the main caregiver and all of them and Rover does do background checks mine is an enhanced background check so I can’t imagine how these people got into doing Rover if they don’t seem like they really know how to take care of them I mean it’s not just coming in and just watching now you have to actually be active with them that means they throw up or vomit you have to clean it up all the pain in the house and 10 times most of them don’t do that if you let them out enough and when they need to go out in my experience I let them out a lot plus I walked them sometimes three times a day depending on the weather so they don’t have an opportunity to really do anything inside the house
Hi Brighton sorry that happened to you I do Rover myself and I have all the reviews I got is outstanding my whole life has been about animals taking care of them cats dogs other things so I can imagine people becoming a pet sitter and not taking care and loving these pets like it’s your own I’m not sure where you live might be too far from me who knows I’m in Florida Lehigh acres Fort Myers area for housesitting I might be able to travel it’s always fun to travel to different areas but I am outstanding with animals the animals love me I take very good care of them I clean up their poo and I always let them out and I walk him about three times a day if possible depending on the weather so keep me in mind for housesitting my name in Rover is Regina Davis in my banner with my picture I have two little tiny small dogs in there that are like terriers so you can’t really miss me
Thank you! that really solved my problem

I was looking for Gmail help and I found you here! Now I know your side hustle (or one of them). I can't find on my laptop where it says "add another account" on my Gmail page. I have watched your video on this three times. Also, I want to keep my aol as my primary email as I've had it forever and if I sign into gmail is says it will make aol my secondary one. Really do need help.
Welcome!! I thought I recognized your username. I just tested this on my computer and the screen looks a tiny bit different, but I still have "add another account" listed in the same spot. You may need to click "show other accounts" first. I don't know any other reason it would be missing. Sorry (BTW - I don't check the comments on this channel that often...)
Thanks, super easy to follow and do.

Hi, I rarely comment, but while I was trying to get behind the idea of manually moving two years of videos from one account to another, I found this video and it was the greatest idea. I'm genuine amazed how simple but how effective it was, thanks a lot !
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you again. I appreciate your input on my problem: Why is it I cannot find my channel (this channel)only my topic channel?
It looks like you don't have any original content to link to. Maybe that's the problem. The videos on your channel can be linked from their original source.
You are a life saver. Thank You SOooo Much. I searched high and low but YOU are the only one to make sense.
