Schedules for blog posts and videos / Pallet wood bathroom vanity update

Hello and welcome back!

Well after careful consideration, I've decided that every Wednesday I'll be posting a new post to my blog,  in which I'll relay the process of the current project I'm working on as well as any information that might be relevant to the current stage of the project or projects I'm working on.

On Sundays, I'll post the video from that particular week's portion of the project.

Please keep in mind, like most of you, I have an 8 to 5 job and have kids and a semi-supportive spouse. I also live in Florida so weather is always a factor when it comes to cure times for portions of the project.

So for this week's project, I'm working on building a vanity along with a counter-top from scratch using pallet wood. So far I've got the frame of the vanity completed as well as the bottom. The cabinet door frames are in place and I'm waiting on the hinges and other hardware I've ordered from Amazon to arrive.

I'm now using my GoPro, on an almost exclusive method. I'm learning how the camera works, and I'm trying to figure out the whole video editing software that comes along with it. The mount for tripods I ordered is in, I just have to dig out the tripod from my storage closet so I can use it at the shop. I've gotten a big kick from using the time lapse settings to create videos. I'm currently in the process of editing the first video from my sessions at the woodshop.

I'll be back later on to add the video.

Setting a schedule and upcoming projects

One of my biggest issues is time management skills, I spend a lot of my time looking for ways to better manage my time. So in order to keep juggling being a valuable employee, my personal life (fiancee and kids), my fledgling YouTube channel, and playing an occasional video game here and there.

Work: I'm grateful to  have an employer that allows me to handle my own time and allows me to function without being micromanaged to an extent. And allows me to doodle plans or ideas while waiting for the end of shift when I'm not particularly busy.

Home: Shared custody of my older kids, means my free weekends are premium time for my projects. And allows me to spend some much needed time doing my hobbies, and getting ready for a more structured schedule for posts such as this one.

YouTube: As I progress through this restructuring of my time, and by sheer luck of coming across an eBay auction for a slightly used GoPro + HD camera. With this I'll be able to step away from using my cell phone to create content and bask in the limelight that is the web from the front of the camera.

Games: I've decided to play my video games whenever the mood strikes or when I have a free period. Yes, I'm going to start using my time wisely and use it as a budgeted resource just like money.

So with this said, here's the link to my latest video, shot on my iPhone.

I will bring you along, any feedback is appreciated. Have a great day.
