from How To Handyma’am | A Home Improvement Comedy Podcast · host Samantha Pearl|Lic. Builder, Emily Pearl Reist|Lic. Builder, and Arly Streed
Welcome to How to Handyma'am! We are kicking off Episode 16 with a little singing, a sweet dedication to Samantha's sister, Sandy, and a recap of our live TV debut on New Day Cleveland! Fun fact: Samantha and Sandy both have golden retrievers (including Samantha's dog, Winnie the Pearl) and the dogs are actually sisters! We also got to teach an amazing troop of Girl Scouts how to build their own toolboxes this week.For our main topic, we are talking about exactly what to expect when you take on a new DIY project. Whether you are a "Type A" planner who maps out every single screw, or a "Type B" chaos gremlin who just starts ripping things apart (looking at you, Arly), we are sharing our professional process for getting things done. We cover how to define your project scope, why you need to watch tutorial videos just to build your materials list, and why you should always add a buffer to your budget.Plus, we answer a listener question about how to properly repair torn drywall paper from a Command Strip!Join The Community!Sign up for early event access & submit listener questions: howtohandymaam.comAll our links in one place: linktr.ee/howtohandymaam
