Russ (24 Hour Design & Design On A Dime) is a goofball with a hammer and Marcus (Hammerheads & Designed to Sell) is a gadget guru - together they are Team Two Times. The name was given them as a joke because they believe there is no better way to learn than to do it wrong the first time. They started this blog not only to share funny stories of thier mistakes, but to actually help other people who want to tackle home renovations and could value from those mistakes.

For years, Russ and Marcus have been demolishing and refurbishing properties in California where they own apartment buildings they've renovated together, and now, both are on HGTV. That amounts to a lot of hours of doing projects (and often re-doing them)! Although the joke behind Team Two Times name is that it usually takes them twice to get something right, they stress that the key to starting any project is taking your time and preparation. You’ll save both time and money by not just jumping in blindly. This may mean doing some internet searching, buying a do-it-yourself book at your local hardware or book store or having someone with experience help you. Please don't hesitate to contact us with your questions, we would be happy to answer them!
