Today we are kicking off episode 1 of my 5-part Ultimate Curb Appeal Series. In this episode, we are going to cover how I created this super modern concrete and wood bench.

There were a few ups and downs and disasters along the way, but in the end, we reached the beautiful outcome of the bench.

This has to be my most ambitious project to date, and I’m honestly blown away how it turned out.

At first, it seemed I was going overboard with my bracing, but when you watch the video below, you will see why!

How To Build A Modern Concrete And Wood Bench

Having lived through this build I can honestly say it was a lot of work. A lot of ups and downs but well worth it.

It was a lot of work and I’m grateful for the help that I got from my good friend Dustin (Dirty D).

I also feel due to the awesome curb appeal my house now has, my property value has increased drastically. If were to give any advice it would be to brace and brace again.

Materials Used:

  • Deck Stain
  • Pre Oiled 3/4″ Form Ply
  • Portland Cement
  • Dewalt Drills
  • Dewalt Laser Level
  • Dewalt Impact Driver
  • Festool Track Saw
  • Festool Shop Vac

Tech Stuff

  • Sony A6400
  • Memory Card
  • Camera Mic 1

Today I’ll be showing you how to install a ceiling fan, as part of Wolfe’s “Bedroom Makeover.” We are installing a brand new fan from Hunter.

Hunter is setting the standard in ceiling fans and lighting. With their Innovative, inspiring designs they have many different styles from modern to traditional to suit any space whether it's residential, commercial, indoor and outdoor.

I personally selected the “Gilmor Indoor/outdoor ceiling fan in matt black“. The reason for this choice was mostly based on the design of the ceiling fan. I love how modern and clean it looked, especially in matt black.
We are fortunate enough to get the opportunity to install one of their new designs in our very own space. Fan Linked Below
