Hi! We are Daniel and Aaron: artists, designers, builders and content creators. We live and work in Los Angeles, CA. In 2020 we decided to tackle our first big DIY project together. It was the beginning of summer and the world had just shutdown thanks to a global pandemic. We were trapped in our house, like so many others, without air conditioning. It was after getting a quote for over ten thousand dollars to setup an HVAC system that we decided to take matters into our own hands. With only some previous experience installing a simple, one room mini-split system we endeavored to setup a whole-house HVAC system—a ducted mini-split setup, to be precise. Being that it was a huge undertaking and that there was little-to-no help online regarding a DIY install of this kind at the time we felt the need to document our process in the hopes that it might help others down the line who might be in a similar situation. That led to the beginning of our YouTube journey.

Of course, like most project warriors, once the A/C was done we got bored. With both of us working from home in a tiny spare bedroom of our 500 sqft house we decided we needed more space. In 2021, we were lucky enough to find a fixer upper that would afford us more space and years worth of DIY projects. That began the remodeling journey we are still currently in and is the basis for most of the content on our channel.

Over the years we have acquired new skills and passions and we look forward to sharing all our new endeavors with you via our YouTube channel, and right here on our website.

One new chapter for us is the opening of the 40Figs Online Store. Head over to the SHOP section of the site if you haven’t already to check out our carefully curated selection of art, home decor and of course 40Figs swag.
