No time to "reflect" on last week! We are on to a new project! This week follow along as I disassemble this mirror, build a new wooden frame from scratch, and match it to my classic farmhouse style😉 I'll be giving you guys a little sneak peak into what Episode 1 of my new @oftv TV show "Erin Builds" will be all about😘😘 @erinbuilds
2022-04-04 15:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostAnother week, another project ✅️ Thanks for following this week's dry wall repair! Check out the process from start to finish! Any guesses on what I'll be doing next??
2022-04-02 22:00:25 +0000 UTC View PostIf you have textured walls you will need to match the repaired sections with a spray texture. Remember to shake the can (alot), read the instructions to determine the distance you need to hold it away from the wall to get the desired effect, and spray away! Pro Tip: Spray around the repaired sections so you have a seamless transition from old texture to new😘
2022-03-31 17:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostThings got a little messy with the spray texture😏😘
2022-03-30 22:30:09 +0000 UTC View PostHow do you fix a hole in the drywall?? Spackle! Spackle covers and seals holes or damage on drywall to provide fast repairs that will not crack or flake off! Make sure the surface of the wall is clean, dry and free of any excess materials. I like to use the dry time indicator (pink😊) so I don't have to guess when it's ready to be sanded and painted! The color turns from pink to white when it's dry! (Usually within 1-3 hours)

Want to know my plans for the week? Thanks to this silly Golden Retriever I'll be fixing my living room wall! Follow along as I spackle patches of (chewed) drywall, sand, texture to match and finally paint for a like new finish!

Coming soon to @oftv I'll be starting a show called "Erin Builds". Watch as I walk you through the amazing projects I'm working on, share tips and tricks around the workshop and give you a sneak peak into my life here in sunny Florida.
2022-03-24 17:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostToday I'm really excited for two reasons 🤗 First, how this butcher block coffee bar turned out, thanks you guys for following along. I love the look and how smooth it is! And second... I will be revealed tomorrow! Can you guess what it's going to be?? 🤫

Isn't someone supposed to be holding the ladder😬 Always have someone support you while climbing, accidents in the shop when alone can one of the most dangerous parts of home improvement. Safety First!! @erinbuilds

Poppin the top!! Stain is messy, it's important to wear latex gloves when handling stain, its EXTREMELY hard to get off your hands if you get it on you. @erinbulids
2022-03-21 22:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostJust a girl and her power tools👷♀️🛠 This project consisted of sanding the old top down to a new finish using my orbital power sander (sanding made easy), a dark stain to match a farm house theme, and multiple coats of clear Polyurethane which helps protect the wood from wear and tear!

Finally done with the latest project!! Complete video of the process coming tonight!! Don't miss out🤭😘
2022-03-19 17:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostTrying not to make a mess ....it isn't working 🤭🤭 To be honest having a little fun while working on the tedious tasks keeps me sane. Tip of the day: Make sure to apply the poly evenly and don't let the drips pool or set on the wood! Remember to enjoy the process not just the end result :) @erinbuilds

Getting started! I like to set up my work station prior to starting a project. It helps me stay organized and keeps me from scrambling to find things when I need them! Today's items on the bench, poly coat, paint brush, gloves and safety glasses.

Last step of the coffee top project! The polyurethane. This step is the most important when working with wood that you want to last. A coat of poly will protect the wood from water and stains, giving it a perfect finish! Can't wait to show you all!

Finishing touches with the 100 grit sandpaper. These easy projects are the ones where you can learn the skills to tackle more challenging projects around the house!

Ready to tackle another Monday!! What are your plans for the week? I plan on fixing the wall that my golden retriever decided to chew on🙄 I'll be prepping the damaged areas, spackling the dry wall and painting to match:) @erinbuilds
2022-03-14 17:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostNice and Smooth😊 Let's get this finished!! I started off by sanding the wood on both sides. I used 80 grit then 100 for a smooth surface. Next is the stain. @erinbulids
2022-03-13 22:01:27 +0000 UTC View Post
Starting the coffee bar top today! It's a simple Sunday project. First step in the process is to sand this butcher block down so I can prep it for the stain! Wish me luck!

Trying to keep a "level" head? Spirit levels are a great way to make sure your projects are perfectly straight, vertical or horizontal 😏

Ready for the Weekend 🛠⚒️ What projects are you working on?

Going to need a bigger tool belt😏 When you’ve got a lot of tools in use during your project, a tool belt is a great way to keep them close and organized. @erinbulids

Nothing like having your own little space in the garage. Just me and my work bench📏📏
2022-03-11 18:01:33 +0000 UTC View PostProject for the weekend! I'll be refinishing my butcher block coffee bar to match a farm house style decor. Nothing but sanding, staining and sealing in my future! I'll be posting the process and finished product soon so make sure to follow along for updates😚 @erinbulids
2022-03-10 18:01:39 +0000 UTC View PostApril 2022, EDM Festival "Thunderbeats" is coming to Florida! Music is a passion of mine and nothing puts me in a better mood than a great song and dancing the night away! Have you ever been to a festival?? @erinbulids

2022-03-09 18:01:56 +0000 UTC View PostSneak peek into my work day😊 Today I had to do a roof inspection for a potential client. This can include taking photos with a drone, climbing on the roof itself, or documenting damages caused by a storm. Off to the next one!!
