This week on You Got This!, we discuss the challenges and DIY solutions for when you just don’t have the right tool, or when the project starts to head south.

These are good, but we wanted to share even more.

(Wish my Dad would have thought of it back in the day).

In this episode Andrew will share his tricks for getting the most out of Cheater Bars and making carrying plywood seem like a breeze.  For the full list, and our inspiration for sharing DIY hacks, check out a varied list put together by the Family Handy Man website.
