Cheap or Quality | Home Edition | When to Save on Your Materials (Ep 11)

Subscribe to join The Village and fund trade education for women! 🛠️✨ We are coming full circle! Our very first episode was a deep dive into Cheap vs. Quality tools, and today we are returning to that concept to tackle home products and DIY materials. From the "science" of top-shelf paint to the nightmare of peel-and-stick wallpaper, we’re breaking down where to invest and where you can actually afford to save. The reno industry is flooded with "beginner-friendly" products that are actually designed to fail. We discuss why your "bargain" flooring might be unclicking itself as you speak and why Arly almost lost a finger trying to use a miter saw as a handheld tool. BIG NEWS! 🏆 We officially won the Saint Johns Business Incubator Challenge! We’re sharing the "Shark Tank" style presentation experience and how this win is funding our upcoming in-person DIY classes. What you’ll learn in this video: Paint Science: Why Sherwin Williams is the "top-shelf vodka" of the paint world and why cheap "barn paint" is a trap. Flooring & Levelers: Why "liquid floor leveler" is a marketing gimmick that can end up leaking into your basement. Wallpaper Wisdom: Why we emphatically say NO to peel-and-stick or pre-pasted wallpaper. Lumber 101: How to tell the difference between "wet" and "dry" lumber using a moisture meter. The "Cheek Test": Our secret trick for picking the perfect paintbrush at the hardware store. The Village Vision: We are officially partnering with a local Girl Scout troop to teach young girls how to build! We are also dreaming up a weekend-long "Handyma’am Intensive" for Fall 2026.
