    Hi Mel and Gary. So nice to see Gary back up working on the mud room. I hope you at least get it closed in before more rain and possibly snow. Don't want the floor to get ruined, Mel I made those flour ornaments with my kids and still have a bunch. Now they are doing it with their kids. It's a fun project. Love how everything is looking. Keep doing you!

    Find your good soffit board length. Mark one side end then mark the roof line side. Stretch a chalk line between the sides and pop it. Now cut off the extra and set the cuts aside for blocking.

    Gary, I wish my brain worked like yours. I don’t understand most of what you say but you do and that’s what matters. I could listen to you talking numbers all day!!!
    I did salt dough as a kid! Really fun!

I remember you making cookies in the RV & I thought what an amazing Mom & Aunt w/ no room & all 4 kids in the RV making Xmas cookies❤🙏🙏🙏Blessings

    My how time flys the kiddos are growing like weeds. It only seems like yesterday they were smaller. It's hard for me to believe that my oldest granddaughter will be graduating high school next year and how all my grandkids has grown so much. Well like they say the older ya get the more that time flys by faster. The kiddos did a good 👍👍👍 job making the Christmas ornaments.

    Dude, stop delaying and cut in the valley rafters...it's pretty simple...chalk a valley line...compound cut the rafter bottoms (set original house roof pitch angle on your saw, mark pitch cut at 90deg from top rafter cut). It helps to do rafter lay-out on the valley chalk line using a sheet of plywood set square with the ridge to determine chalk line layout OC. Get the damned thing done and weathered in!

    Good morning Mel and Gary, weather and building, the memories of my first build in the early ‘70’s. This is coming along great despite the rain. Now that you have set up early in this video, you answer my curious questions in my last comment in the previous video. Hey Mel, I have never done the decoration dough craft. It certainly looks easy enough compared to paper mache. It’s great to see your children getting into it.

    Very good video great family interaction. Gary I love you dearly man, but you would get a lot more done if you didn't over think it so much lol. those rafters do not need bracing I'm from Eastern Ontario we get tons of snow and we have 24 and 36 inch over hangs with out bracing any snow you get down there will not stay on too long before it melts. Merry Christmas and God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

    Trying to be respectful but I am having a hard time listening to all the chatter. Way too much explaining and not enough just getting it done. Yesterday it was actually explained that Gary was going up the ladder and..... Seeing Gary go up the ladder should be self explanatory guys.

    • @SimpleLifeReclaimed

      We hear you! It's a delicate balance of explanation and action. 😉
      If we don't explain every single step.. we get way too many questions. We're kinda tired of over explaining as well, but trying to please everyone despite it being an impossible task.. so we're just gonna keep being us an doing what we're doing. Hope you're enjoying the ride! Later later

    • @SimpleLifeReclaimed
      @SimpleLifeReclaimed  8 часов назад

      You can't put a roof on an unfinished structure. Your comment is very confusing indeed

    • @jaw1180
      @jaw1180 8 часов назад +3

      Sorry but that’s not correct at all, I have put roofs on many unfinished structures, you can dry in the house with a roof long before you do anything else. One more point, many contractor who build homes have the “roof on” as a release point for construction funds from the bank, so they will put the roof on as soon as framing is complete to get a pay day. That’s nothing new.
