Hi this is my youtube channel. It expresses my interests in camping, woodworking and home repair. I own a Carpet cleaning firm and am often involved in construction trades so will sometimes focus on those but I want to have fun here. There are a number of woodworking projects I have done that I wish to spotlight such as desks dressers and cabinets but will need to make the videos I also love tools and will spotlight those as well. I am currently making my Minivan camper and will hope to include traveling with it. Please subscribe and comment on what you like thanks for following.
