Did you know that this was my 3rd attempt at create a coffee station of some sort?

My coffee supplies first lived in my kitchen, then I attempted a coffee station in my living room. But that turned out to be too much space and too far from the kitchen to truly serve its purpose.

Let me know in the comments if you you have an impact driver or not. If you do, let everyone know how you use it 👇🏿

Checking for square, without a square! Swipe to learn about the 3-4-5 math-less method.

I'm building a storage cabinet with drawers this week, and for drawers to function correctly, my piece needs to be square. Except my speed square was in my basement and after 5000 trips up and down the stairs I didn't want another. So i was able to use the 3-4-5 method in a pinch.

After you read about, give it a try and let me know in the comments if it worked for you!
