Dad Advice From Bo on Instagram: "Some of the most commonly asked questions I get are around simple things that you just need a quick explanation for. Who better than a Dad like me that is a thousand years old and has tried a bunch of different ways to solve the problem? Remember that January is for resting too. Spring will come faster than you think. You can just watch a show tonight. Love, Dad"

Home Building Checklist

Dennis Comstock - Builder Brigade on Instagram: "👇All the tips and ideas from my videos are organized in here: ✅The Ultimate Home Building Checklist at BuilderBrigade.com Currently on Day 6 with NO Power! The ability to plug into the house has been such a luxury. I cycle the generator on and off to conserve gas. No need to pull out appliances to plug in extension cords. This is a must-have if your budget is tight and can’t do the fixed @generac generator. You can roll out the portable Genny and get going 👍. I never thought we’d be running off this thing as long as we have but so grateful our damage was minimal and family is safe. My thoughts to those who were not so lucky. #BuilderBrigade #homebuildingtips #homebuilding #customHome #HomeBuildingChecklist"

Dad Advice From Bo on Instagram: "It’s the time of year where we have to do all the tasks we said we would wait until spring to do 😬 I wanted to share this one again because house fires can be prevented by doing this even just once every few years. Emmy’s still recovering, getting a little bit stronger each day. She went from being up all night when we first got home to being up 3x a time so we’re trending in the right direction but she’s very tired. Is it spring weather where you are? What can I help you learn as we head into spring? Love, Dad"

Thanksgiving Challenge

Dad Advice From Bo on Instagram: "How I change an outlet. In the past I’ve shared how I change an outlet using the wrap method and that’s more tedious but I have felt like the snap products were flimsy. Finally found one that snaps firm so wanted to show you an easier method. I got this at the hardware store… I’m sure you can get them anywhere. Hope you are having a good week. I sliced my finger open this weekend and got some stitches but I was able to come right home and keep on my projects. After work this week, I’m going to write down my Feastivus family Thanksgiving challenge. It’s a family competition for Thanksgiving… we used to go big but since my daughter has been sick, I’ve tried to make them indoor activities. I’ll share with you soon. Love, Dad"

Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips

Molly Miller | DIY Home Improvement on Instagram: "Home Maintenance Tasks that are easy to miss ⬇️ 1. Lubricating the garage door hinges, spring and rollers - I really like the 3 in 1 product shown in the video. Linked in my LTK. 2. Dryer vent clean out - They make a tool now that attaches to your drill and makes the job so much easier 🙌 If you have an older home and have never cleaned your vent, it might be worth it to hire a professional. 3. Swapping furnace filters - Recommended every 6 months to keep your system running smoothly. Check the size of the previous filter before ordering new. 4. Cleaning fridge coils - If your fridge hasn’t been staying cold or isn’t running as well as it used to, it’s probably the coils! I used an old toothbrush to clean mine but they do make a coil clean
