Ep 3 - Progress over perfection, the best projects for a beginner, and what it's like to renovate a smokehouse w/ Dawson Hoppes (@dawson.diy)

Update: 2022-02-15

Description

On the show today, Dawson Hoppes and I have some laughs as we discuss his DIY journey with his starter home that he purchased that had been smoked in for decades. From full gut room renovations to small fun projects, Dawson does it all. He gives us insight on what he feels is the best way to start as a beginner DIYer as he preaches his mantra, progress over perfection. At the end, Dawson even asks me a few questions including what made me quit my job as an engineer to go full-time into being a DIY creator in this amazing community. Make sure you give Dawson a follow (@dawson.diy) and tell him I said hello and Go Terps!
