Step 0: Before you begin, draw up a plan! ✍🏼 Weekend Warriors are notoriously good at diving head-first into new projects, without a course of action, proper tools, or materials to get the job done right. But the most successful and experienced Weekend Warriors are always going to tell you that patience is critical, and before you start tearing down walls, map it out, gather resources, and never never be afraid to consult experts! #weekendwarrior #parrlumber

The Weekend Warriors Home Improvement show comes to you every weekend offering inspirational and informative entertainment. With over thirty years of combined experience in the building industry, Tony and Corey are true weekend warriors, working on their own projects and solving problems around their homes every day. If they can’t answer your questions, they definitely won’t have any trouble finding someone who can! Tony and Corey bring in professionals from nearly every aspect of the building industry to talk about new products and trends, as well as offering new perspectives and providing the motivation you need to bring those ideas to life. It’s an interactive show, so feel free to visit us on Facebook to ask questions, make comments or share renovation stories. Listen, laugh and be inspired!
