    Andrew, it has taken me almost 77 years of my life, and, at last found you a couple of years ago, and your videos, I know that I can now relax and enjoyment the years I have left to me. Just knowing that there are people like you around, makes me feel and breathe easier and with more hope. An entire segment of people will now be safe because people like you exist in the world. I'm sure you don't feel about yourself the same as many other feel about you (e.g. see all the wonderful, heartfelt comments below), but I would call you a "human being 3, that is human being cubed....no airs of pretension, no need to insist how much better you are than others....just kind, talented, ready to help others. I agree with one of the commenters, after 77 years of life, I hope I can be somewhat like you when I grow up. Thank you so much, Andrew !!! I realize, too, that these words fall so far short of what is in my heart, and what would like to say.....but so be it. I hope you know what I'm trying to say

      @phillipchambers8487 5 лет назад +7

      Yes this IS the American Spirit! This is how this Country was built into what it is, by Men just like Andrew. That's what made our Country, and our Society so great. That's how we won 2 World Wars. However, I am saddened to say that this type of Man & Personality is fading fast in the good ol' USA. Especially in Andrew's generation, and the ones even younger than him.
      I told him in another message that it was so amazing to see someone in his age group that wasn't sitting on their ass playing Video Games all day, still living with their Mommy, eating Tide Pods, and thinking the world owes them everything for free. Let alone have all the different skill sets it takes to build everything that he has.
      This is how I grew up (53 years old). We never hired anyone to do anything when I was a kid. My Dad and I built, and or repaired everything on our Farm. By the time I was 10 - 11 years old, I was operating every piece of Farm Equipment we owned, as well as Heavy Equipment, Dozers, Excavators, etc. I could drive a Tractor Trailer by the time I was 12, and actually drove them out on the Road at 14, my Uncle would let me drive empty, and he would drive loaded, when he would take me hauling Coal in Eastern Ky.
      Andrew evidently was raised in this same manner, that is the only way you can be proficient in that many different Skilled Trades by that age.

    Andrew - new sub via Scott the Essential Craftsman. Have been binge watching now for a couple days. I’m Scott’s age and thought I had lots of energy (and ideas) when I was younger but now see I was a tree sloth by comparison to your force of nature. *You need kids*. Lots of kids. Not to slow you down, but because your kids will have the coolest dad and the most fun childhood imaginable. So take that young lady I see from time to time and make some kids. I guarantee you there are souls lining up like it’s Black Friday at Best Buy to jump down into those little bodies and grow up in AndrewLand. Plus kids are a blast, they’re good additions to dogs. And in 10-12 years you’ll have the start of one helluva crew. I started running stuff and building stuff that young, and your kids will too. So have kids. Do it soon. God bless.

      Those are merely a few of many verses of salvation by faith alone. Read Hebrews 11; the "hero's" chapter [all saved by faith alone].

    I watched about 20 videos and finally subscribed! I don't believe there is anything you can't do. Given your start cutting grass to where you are now is incredible! Plus you don't blow your money on new equipment and $70k pickups! If kids today had half the gumption fearlessness you started with it would be a different country! I started going to work with my father in the masonry business when I was 4 or 5 in the late 60s early 70s and never looked back myself. My dad passed 11 years ago in February, we were best friends. When you mixed that concrete on a ledge, with a loader in the back of a truck I almost cried when I couldn't call my dad and show him that! Slow down a little and spend more time in that hot tub and never take for granted those you love and learned from!

    It would look amazing if you incorporated the natural stone to help it blend in and look more organic with its surroundings. Adding more colored rock/gemstone bits to the ceiling and inside on the side surfaces to give it a more magical feel and of course a water/waterfall feature would perfectly finish it up. You are creating an amazing oasis for your and your family.
