It's all coming together nice and steady Stephen and April. It's already a fine Cabin but the finish line will be spectacular. One day at a time, one step at a time. We understand, you have a Farm to run, lots going on. Hoping for a December move in, that would be fantastic! Be safe Y'all, blessings!

    Hey. Definitely not trying to give you grief but check it out from our side of the screen. We see you doing something that looks somewhat 'omg' and although we still want to watch the video we are on edge because if something does go wrong we are pretty helpless. I'm in Australia and couldn't reach you quickly - and a lot of us seem to be older. That railing - fabulous, love the idea of the lighting.

  • @dandaniels4558
    @dandaniels4558 2 года назад +1

    Love the big thick posts for the railings.Its going to look so nice.
    Like the your idea of the LED soft lighting for the balcony and stairs at night too.Smart idea.
    Yeah the truck and the pigs are throwing you a little curve ball but not as bad as the Alaska,covid and surgery curve ball that had you down for awhile.
    Always something to get in your way of the build progress but your getting there and I don't think Christmas is out of the question but I guess it depends on how many more curve balls get thrown at ya.
    It's going to be a beautiful home when you complete it that's for sure.
    The goats are funding practicing there ramming with there heads and that male goat learned his lesson right quick,don't touch the fence LOL .I like when you can add in little things like the goat tour maybe the pigs best time LOL .
    Hang in there Stephan God's on your side .God Bless you and your family.

    As one allergy sufferer to another a few tips to help you out. You can use a medi pot and rinse out your sinuses. I don't because it feels like I am water boarding myself. I use warm salt water in a tablespoon, plug one side if your nose and snort it up into your sinuses, repeat on other side. Sounds gross but works. Rinse your eyes out with saline solution. Use Ayr cream in your nostrals or a thin layer of vasoline. Wear a mask when working outside. These things keep the allergens out of your sinuses. Or take antihistamine daily. It gets worse as you get older. You are a hard working man Steven, take care of yourself. I get really sick from allergies and it takes me down. 5 minutes a day, I have 20 years on you, you have to take care of yourself first. I see you suffering and do hope you try these remedies. The 1st one is to make it better. The rest is preventative. I hope you don't take offense, my intention is to help. Your home will be beautiful.

I'm enjoying watching you build as it brings back so many memories of hubby and me building...figuring out ways to do repeative jobs with a template or something to help do the job easier.

Amazing how it seemed we'd never get it done but we kept plugging along and then, bam, it was done. You're doing great and it'll be done before you know it.
