They say that laughter is the best medicine.
Funny DIY home fix-it videos always seem to make me laugh the most because I can relate. Commercials with a homeowner theme can be downright hilarious, as well.
I know I’m not alone because there is video footage out there to prove it.
Who hasn’t stepped on a metal rake and gotten ‘beaned’ at least once? Funny to watch…not funny to have it happen to you.

Must see!… Here are most of the Bud Light Presents – Real Men of Genius radio spots for hours of laughs.
I started as a home-stalker… visiting brand new homes under construction in the neighborhoods near my house. That inspired me to write about home building and home renovation projects — chronicling homes during different phases of construction from a consumer's point-of-view.
