    Pour a Perfect Concrete Slab

    The show returns with a topic near and dear to my heart: pouring a concrete slab, or driveway. I hail from a long line of brick masons and have poured many a driveway and basement. Whether helpful to aid in your sleep or DIY house needs, I hope you enjoy.    Follow along: http://www.copesandgravel.com/how-to-build-concrete-driveway.html https://www.familyhandyman.com/list/how-to-pour-a-perfect-slab/   With host Mike Shafer.  If you like the show, please subscribe, review, share, and send over requests for other product manuals to: Facebook Instagram

    Crosley Record Player

    I spent all day Saturday cleaning the house and listening to the sweet sounds coming from my Crosley Record Player. That's all the inspiration I needed for this week's episode. I hope you can find the time to put on your favorite music and relax and have fun like I did.

    Campfires and S'mores

    A recent trip to North Georgia led to a cold night, a warm fire, and tasty s'mores. Thus, an inspired look into building various types of campfires effectively and efficiently, and once the fire's going, cooking the perfect s'more.

    Balance Basic Body Composition Scale

    The calendar flips to 2021 and health resolutions abound. While I do believe in a year-long focus on health, I'm like plenty of others who slack from time to time during the year, notably from mid-November through December. Therefore, when I glanced down in my bathroom and thought of a recent attempt at capturing my goals for the year, I realized the perfect manual was staring back at me: my scale.
