The Opening Hand

Hello again everyone. Just wanted to give you a quick update.
I still have not finished with the home repair project but I am making good progress now. I’ve got the back wall rebuilt, I rebuilt the water service to the house and just finished boxing out a new wall to protect the water service and meet code. Apparently code wants every surface under a stairway protected with sheet rock. Oof, I really hate taping and mudding.
I’m really itching to get back in the opening booth but I can’t take my eyes off this project yet or I my ADHD will squirrel me onto something else and I’ll never get it finished!

Well, when it rains it pours right?!
The repairs I’m having to do to the wall under the stairs now necessitate needing to modify the water service for the house! I’m trying to focus as much as possible on this repair so I can get the house put back into a normal state, but I promise I’ll be back to opening packs as soon as I can!

Hello everyone! I apologize for going dark the last week. I’ll try to get my openings back up and running as soon as I can but we’ve encountered a situation with the house that I needed to take care of. We had somewhat of an insect invasion that now has the house looking like a tornado hit. Hopefully I can get these repairs done quick and get the video booth up running again soon. Again, sorry for going dark but I should be back soon hopefully!

By the way, if you’re wondering about the gloves I wear in my videos, it’s because I’m also an airplane pilot

This has been quite a ride so far. I have spent many years uploading videos to my personal account but this is the first time I’ve tried to actually create content for others to enjoy with more effort. I did not realize the actual amount of effort it takes to create an engaging and nice looking video. I hope I can figure this out before I wind up boring everyone to tears with my content. Any recommendations are of course always welcome. Thanks again for watching! TOH
