Channel Update

Although it has been a while since my last DIY Video (with the exception of my pool cleaner rebuild), I have been capturing some events over the past 2 1/2 years. As you'll see in the video, my Mother's illness, our fight to get her well, and her passing...was the most difficult thing I've ever had to deal with in my life and now, two years later, it still weighs heavily on my thoughts and my heart.
But, like I said, things are getting better...I'm getting better...and I'm trying to learn to not dwell in the past, for there's nothing I can do about it now and I know Mom would not want me to feel this way.
In this video, I very quickly, via a video montage, go over some of the big DIY projects that I've worked on over the past couple of years to bring you up to speed. As you can tell, we've moved to the country. We wanted a little more privacy, a little less noise, and a lot more space! We love our new home and have really enjoyed getting into our "country" vibe...although my wife has evidently gone "All In!" with her cowgirl boots, hats, started horseback riding lessons, and even got a horse...Luke!
My new DIY Shop space is a major upgrade from the two-car garage in our previous home and I have a lot of ideas on the design and layout that will maximize the space and provide the best work flow...so stay tuned and check back often, the frequency and quality of the videos is about to increase!!

Sorry to hear about your loss. I went through my own horror recently as my wife died young unexpectedly. I ended up bankrupt from her cancer and lost everything and almost myself. I'm on the upswing and starting over from ending up on welfare and have my own homestead now so I will be able to get by. As a new subscriber, I'm looking forward to observing your journey.

[@TomsDIYShop]

@MakeitZUPER, Thank you for your kind words my friend. I am so sorry to hear about your wife and cannot imagine the struggle and hardships you have had the strength to fight through. Although my Mother passed away two years ago, there are times I’m caught off guard and I’m overcome with emotions. The projects and the channel are a great distraction, so I try to keep busy as much as possible! I’m very happy to hear you’re on the upswing and wish you all the best! Thank you again for your comments and for supporting the channel…let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see!
Thanks,
Tom

Hey Tom, I recently visited your UA-cam channel and noticed is that your content is very good but your video has no view & subscriber. However, I identified a number of areas for development. The optimization of your tags and tag volume is one important SEO-related issue. It appears that you did not give them enough thought or did not finish them well. This can affect the visibility and discoverability of your content. In addition, there might be other areas that also need attention. I can fix this.
