What I have accomplished the past week-
Throughout this week I have uploaded 2 new videos to my YouTube channel with hopes that the third will upload. I am not sure why but the third video is slow to upload and keeps failing to upload. I did not get to the fourth video I had planned on about how to properly strap down a car. I couldn't get to it because there were always workers blocking the trailers and on top of that i didn't have enough room to move things around with all their vehicles in the driveway.
What have I learned this week-
I learned that there are somethings i ended up learning about my car and how to do things like for instance when i changed my car tire my jack wasn't big enough because I got new tiers so i had to get a bigger one so I could lift it up enough.
Whats next-
With this week being the end of the project there wont be anything new comming for the next 2 weeks because I will be out of town. There might be some new videos comming when I get back it just depends on easy new projects I can find.

Hey fellow bloggers, this week we have updated the you tube channel with 3 new videos. These videos are focused around trailers and how hook up and load them. they They show you how to load a car on to the trailer properly and how to strap it down to be sure it stays put. while these seem like simple tasks many do it wrong and mess up their car or have an axle slip off while they are on the highway which can cause a big mess. Although this might not have much to do with car maintenance it is an important skill to know because if and when you need to get your truck and trailer borrow a friends to move it shows you how to do it with out bringing any harm to the car on the trailer, the truck, or the trailer. the biggest mistake people make is thinking one ball size fits all for the casual bumper hitch trailer, and the effect of that is the trailer might fall off while driving. Another mistake is they will have a load that exceeds the weight limits and snap either the trailer axles or the truck axles. That is about the worst thing that can go wrong but if were being honest, you have to be an idiot to break your axles because of a heavy trailer load. Thanks for reading fellow bloggers. See yall next week!

So far this week I have recorded 4 videos around simple problems that can be a quick fix on your car. The videos are based around how to take off the grill in case you need to access the horn, how to remove the battery as well as how to hook it up properly, how to jump start the car if the other car is not providing enough power to do so, how to put a rack on and secure it to the cross bars, and How to properly attach the wires for additional lights to your car. The importance of knowing all this is because it can save you tons of money and time rather than having someone take double the time and charge you extra. The hardest part of this will be properly wiring the the lights so that nothing interferes with the engine. While some of these tasks are a bit confusing to complete however,once you know how to do it they wont take anytime and wont cost you anymore that the product you are replacing.

This past week I have edited and posted five videos on the basics of car maintenance, the videos include how to lower the spare tire, how to take off a tire and put it back on, how to remove windshield wipers and put them on, how to hook up a bumper pull trailer on a car, how to check the oil properly, and how to put wiper fluid in the engine. The next upcoming videos will consist of how to put a rack on the car, how to take a battery out and how to lock the HUBS. The most difficult part of this project is making sure I put it all back together correctly and where to put the camera for a good angle so I can be in the right spot for the task but not be blocking the camera at the same time. The videos have been posted to YouTube as well as Blog spot.
