26 - Doggy Bought a House!

The guys catch up after a busy week! Doggy buys a house that has a 25’x30’ detached shop – he talks about his plans to install a slop sink and 220v power in his shop before he starts making anything serious. Ty is getting his office updated to be a full-fledged packing and shipping station!

The guys chat about how bad Doggy is at patching drywall and how much fun he has with troll comments from the keyboard warriors.

They also go in-depth with how they deal with being ghosted by potential clients after putting their heart into quotes on fun projects. Sometimes it is best to stay emotionally distant from your quotes...

28 - Doggy Gets Trolled

The guys both started revamping their Etsy storefronts based on some of the tips and tricks from @Ptreesworkshop !
Doggy wired 220V power for his shop all by himself; he hung up the outlets, ran the conduit and wires, and plugged the wire/breakers into his panel! He is pumped to start making stuff again! Ty is gearing up for a big charcuterie board order... 46 walnut boards are on deck!
Ty deals with some difficulties in getting paid on time by a large wholesaler on a big template
order - the guys discuss further options on including a late payment clause if clients don’t pay up when they are supposed to!
The guys have noticed a solid uptick in engagement and growth recently. Doggy hits 40,000
followers and Ty nears 30,000! Doggy posted a gnarly drywall patch a few weeks ago and got
clobbered by troll comments – the guys read some of the best and funniest comments!
Doggy takes a few minutes to nerd out about his job and why he’s in Florida this week!
