The Cuban Redneck DIY Channel Blog

Hello there, and thank you for visiting our blog! This blog (website) is meant to go side by side with our YouTube channel. Although we put considerable effort into the information we provide in our videos. However, every so often, a product, a service, or even the way we do things may change. Because YouTube doesn’t allow the editing of a video once published without losing all of your rankings, views, share, etc. we use this blog to keep the information we publish as accurately as possible. We are humans, so we don’t blame us for this if we fall behind a little! After all, this is a hobby, not a job. Life tends to throw a monkey wrench or two along the way every once in a while. With that said, know that I would greatly appreciate it if you brought any errors, misinformation, or suggestions to my attention via this page!
