What’s here is general information

My videos, this site, my printable guides and my emails share what I’ve learned, in good faith. I’m a homeowner, not a licensed contractor, and none of it is professional advice. Every house is different, so what worked for me may not work for yours. I try to get things right, but I can’t promise anything here is complete, current or free of mistakes, and products, prices and codes change. If you spot a mistake, tell me.

Your safety and your project

If you take on a project, you do it at your own risk and you’re responsible for the result. Shut off the power, water or gas before you start, test before you touch anything, wear the right protection and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Codes, permits and licensing rules depend on where you live, so check yours first. As far as the law allows, I’m not liable for any injury, damage or loss that comes from using what’s here.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site and in my video descriptions are affiliate links. If you buy through one, I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Products and brands

What I say about a product is my opinion. Check specs and safety information with the manufacturer before you rely on them. Mentioning or linking to a brand doesn’t mean it sponsors or endorses me.

Other websites

I link to other sites when they’re useful, but I don’t control them, and they can change. Once you leave this site, their own terms and privacy policies apply.

Copying my work

My videos, photos, writing and printable guides are mine. You’re welcome to link to them, but please don’t copy, repost or sell them without asking.

Using this site

By using this site, you accept this disclaimer. If your use of anything here leads to a claim against me, you agree to cover my costs. I may update this page from time to time.
