DIY How to Install iPhone XR Screen Protector-Basic Step by Step Tutorial

A good idea to protect your investment is to install a screen protector. Up above is a step by step tutorial on installing one. It's a good idea to install these before you install your iPhone case. One of the major keys to success in this task is to make sure your screen is completely clean. By clean, I mean really clean. The kit comes with a wipe and adhesive strips in order to accomplish this so at a minimum use those. If you fail to completely clean the screen it will show up once you apply the screen protector itself. 

After completely cleaning the screen, it's now time to apply the screen protector. There is typically an alignment template that comes with the kit so place this on the phone if you have it. Remove the outer plastic from the screen protector without touching it or letting it touch anything. Place it (adhesive side down) on the phone. Press your index finger in the center and work out any air pocket from the center towards the edges until all are removed. Remove alignment template and you are all set.

How to Remove a Nissan Frontier Tailgate

It is nice to know how to remove and reinstall tailgates on trucks. I figured I'd do a demo on this one since it was available. They are fairly easy to remove which is good and bad. The good part is that you can get them off fairly quickly but the bad part is dirt bag thieves and tweezers like to steal them. There are some measures you can take to make it a little harder to steal your tailgate.

DIY IKEA Brand "OMAR" Model Wire Storage Racks-Basic Assembly Directions

As much as I despise setting foot in IKEA having to deal with the crowds and  navigate through the habit trail of items that we can live without but must have, these wire rack shelves are actually pretty nice. The model style or type is called "OMAR". Assembly time is less than 15 minutes or so per section of shelf. The nice thing about these is that you assemble them and purchase them one section at a time which lends to their versatility. They have engineered these wire racks to not be too cumbersome and to hug the wall as much as possibly without any wasted space. They are a most efficient use of space. Practically anyone can put this thing together with zero tools. The only thing you will potentially need a few tools for is securing this to the wall. Securing it to the wall is important and probably overlooked many times but once you start assembling and stacking more than one section of these shelves they can become top heavy and a safety hazard. So I do recommend you secure these to the wall especially if you have young ones around who would find shelving units such as these a perfect structure for climbing.

Out of all of the shelving units I've assembled in my life, these are probably the easiest. I have some experience with these in the past as Costco used to sell them and maybe they still do. They were a little more costly than these but they were also more robust. One thing I did like was that they give you an extra shelf clamp as part of each kit just in case one doesn't snap in perfectly (which would result in the shelf being useless) or if one breaks for becomes lost. Anything extra in kits of any kind of item these days is a rarity so this is appreciated and even more so if needed to be used. You will also find yourself with an extra set of adjustable feet if you decide to stack your shelves. I set these aside in case I wanted to ever use the units separately in the future. Truth be told, I will probably lose the adjustable feet by the time I ever re-realize that the shelves come back apart in two pieces and can be used separately. 

How to make a Pallet Wood Trash Can

This pallet wood trashcan project was super fun to make. The beauty of making pallet projects is that you can totally goof them up, which I have, and you aren't out of a bunch of money. It really puts the fun fun factor back into wood working and takes the pressure off. Not only are these great from a practical standpoint but they make really good gifts as well. Each one is guaranteed to turn out unique.
In order to properly obtain your raw materials you will need a simple set of tools for pulling the boards apart and extracting the nails. My favorite two tools to use is a hammer and a crow bar. I use a Cobalt brand one. Here's a link to the type of hammer and crow bar I use for this task.

I also used a brad nailer and compressor. This makes it nice you can "tack" your pieces together with one hand while holding them with the other. The drawback is that you need to make sure you are shooting your brad nails nice and straight so they don't go through your thumb and also so they don't protrude from the wood.
