This is the kind of idea you have when you’re having a few garage beers with your buddies and something clicks. “What if you could use air hockey technology to move furniture” 💡 Then, somebody actually took the idea to market. Bravo.

I got my first born this little pink tundra power wheel 2 summers ago. She was hesitant at first but then learned how to drive it and it became her favorite toy. She rode it into the ground and the batteries were dying and motors burned up so I upgraded to a larger 24v power wheel. I waiting until she went to sleep and assembled it to surprise her the next morning. No birthday or holiday, just a random Wednesday “I love you present”. Her face lit up when she saw it. Made it all worth it. Now with her little sister in the mix, it’s been a ton of fun to watch them bond over power wheel road trips around the yard. I would have killed to have 2 power wheels before my 4th bday and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t living vicariously through my daughters.

House flipping culture has gotten out of hand. “Let’s come in at 200k, cover the kitchen with stickers and sell for $500k.” Lipstick on a pig big time.

Client: “Yeah, I think we want to go labor only to save a few bucks, we can grab material” Contractor: “No problem. While you’re out can you basically start your own business to provide everything else we need to get your job done since we’re labor only?” Client: “Uhhhhh…”

These golf sim kits are pretty slick. If you knew what you were doing you could probably get this built in a long weekend. Full blown golf cabin in your back yard.

If CAT sold tickets to their live demos I bet wives would be without husbands and children would be without fathers. All men would just go hit the CAT demo for happy hour every night. It’s probably better this way.

If you own a Home Services business and you’re pricing by the hour STOP. In home services there is a pricing paradox that occurs when quoting a job for a customer. Customers want the work performed to high quality standards and also done in a timely manner. Often as quickly as possible. Signaling that they value time. However, the second a plumber, electrician, HVAC contractor, etc gets the work done in less time that the customer anticipated, they have a problem with the price. Assuming they should be charged less because it took less time. That’s now how things work. You’re paying for experience and craftsmanship not an hourly rate. Contractors should be incentivized to maximize adding value to their customers. Not drag things out (or cut corners) because they need to hit a labor target. You’re holding back your talented team who could get the job done more efficiently if they were incentivized properly. You’re also backing yourself into a corner with customers by anchoring them with a labor allowance. Price by the job not the hour.

The crawler-transporter might be equally as impressive as the rocket itself. Each track pad is 2,000 lbs and it gets 32 feet per gallon of diesel. Incredible piece of equipment.

Amish guys will find any way to “Amish-ify” a piece of equipment to enjoy the conveniences of modern machinery without breaking the rule of the church. Very kind, smart, and fascinating people.

Make cars analog again. I want knobs, switches, latches, catches, and the sounds and enjoyment that go with it. I want less screens in my life and more buttons. How do we make this happen?

Build furniture from oak. Stick it in an ammonia chamber. Give it a few hours. The tannins in the wood react with the ammonia and the longer you leave it in there can take the color from brown, to grey, to black. Finish it with some wax and you’re good to go.

This guy is an absolute wizard with transmissions. It’s fun to watch his tear down videos and explanations. I can’t help but wonder if he’s under charging at $1,000 for a total rebuild. What does the business side of you think and what does the customer side of you think?

What’s stopping you from getting a heard of goats and charging people to feed them? It’s impressive how much they can clear in a short period of time. They even eat poison ivy.

I only have a couple pairs of dress shoes so I’ve never once thought about how custom shoes are made. Or in this case, dyed and polished. I came across Mr. Dapper Shoes on IG and his videos do not disappoint. Smooth as butter.

Looking at a new house to buy? Follow the cracks in the street, up the driveway, through the garage, and into the home to tell the story of how the ground moves throughout the property. It may manage your expectations or reveal major red flags before making an offer.
