Fun Project:
I just wrapped up a small project for a remote control aircraft hobbyist. He has a 4-1/2' RC aircraft and wanted a truck box slider built to safely transport his plane around. This truck box slider is custom built to fit his truck box... finished with two coats of Varathane. He's a happy camper.

Here's a pro tip that is a bit less obvious. This project is an RV enclosure I built for a customer in May 2023. The white fence is the old one I was replacing. The new fence is more obvious.
The pro tip is that if you are cementing in the 4x4 treated posts, wrap the lower 2' of each post in plastic, and staple the plastic temporarily. The reason is that once you pour your concrete and tamp it, you won't splash concrete onto the exposed portion of the posts. This results in a professional look.

If you are considering freshening up a few walls in your home, a mistake that is often made is not doing the ceiling first. You might think... nah... it looks fine! Then once you do your cutting in and paint part of it and step back and look... you get that big ah ha moment! Pro tip: When painting your ceiling, whether using a roller or a spayer, always do it twice... once with your strokes going in one direction, and after this dries, do the second coat in the opposite direction. It will look great. Tip #2. Sometimes a primer/sealer is required before doing your two top coats of ceiling paint.
