Build, Bark & Grow
Build, Bark & Grow is where sawdust meets soil, and every project comes with a little dog hair. I’m Michael—a builder, tinkerer, and suburban homesteader—sharing my journey of building sheds, crafting furniture, remodeling spaces, and experimenting in the garden, all while raising a pack of spirited pups.
This channel is about more than just DIY—it’s about learning by doing, laughing at the mistakes, and finding joy in creating something with your own two hands. Whether I’m upgrading tools, tackling new builds, or showcasing life with my dogs, you’ll always find a mix of craftsmanship, chaos, and growth.
👉 Hit subscribe, and let’s build something—together.
Building smarter, barking louder, growing stronger.
