Hey Tim, great hacks, especially the affordable Leveling Blocks. The only problem is, burning anything (especially Pressure Treated Lumber) on a Construction site is illegal anymore...at least it is in Wa. State. It all goes into a Recycle dumpster now. My suggestion would be to check the Big Box Stores, they usually have a cart full of "Boat Lumber" {twisted beyond usefulness} at a greatly discounted price.

@@goldeneddie Believe it or not, audio (not video) is one of the more challenging things to get right when making videos like this. (and I'm learning that audio levels should never be edited with headphones on - they're way too forgiving and don't let you dial in acceptable levels) So I don't use headphones for the final edit any more. But I really appreciate your feedback so I can make adjustments, rather than having you just click thumbs down and leaving. This way I can improve which is good for both of us. Thank you again! 🥰

I have noticed the issue on other videos when it comes to 'equalising' the volume, so I appreciate your technical efforts as well as your great content.

Useful tips, but a few of them are misleading, or there’s simply a better way. The torpedo level could be replaced with a cross level, or a ball level . Then you don’t have to manually spin it around etc while you’re trying to park. You should NOT drink water out of random fountains! Water filters do not remove chemicals. If the fountain is over chlorinated (which it likely is) then you’re getting a gut full of toxic chemicals. It’s also unknown if the water is extremely acidic from inexperienced pool guys or fountain maintenance techs adjusting the PH. If you’re pregnant, and the PH is extremely acidic it could harm your unborn child.
