Meg, I am an old retired construction worker. I love watching young people learning by doing. Great work so far for a newbie. A note about the hole saw, in case you are not aware. There are special bits ( pilot bit ) to fit the mandrel. A proper pilot bit will have a flat section, some have multiple flats so it sort of looks like teeth. This done to hold the bit more stable as the set screw should rest on the flat. You should think about getting an 8 foot or taller ladder. Those little ones are going to get you hurt.
Thank you for the tips! And thanks for watching!
I loved her jig-saw enthusiasm and how quickly she learned that cutting the hole near the edge would have been easier. It all turned out really nice and she figured it out on her own. Her confidence will take her places!
Thank you Tim!
Meg, you remind me of my wife when we were rebuilding our first house 46 years ago. Nicely done!
That's so great! Thank you!
Absolutely love your positive attitude and how excited you get when you’re working! Glad I found your channel. 🍺
Thanks so much!
So I bet all of your farmer neighbors get together and sit at the top of the hill overlooking your place, eating popcorn and watching your antics all day. Your John Deere lawn mower saga was probably the most fun they had all year! Keep up the good work!
lol!!! I sure hope so hahaha!
I myself enjoyed the whole saga, lol. @Meg.August
@@mikenkfalls Same here. Iol so many times. Real DIY is entertaining.
Hahahaha😂kewl
@@m9j16 Ture. Meg gets it done, that's all that matter. Ours is a 40 foot HC too, bright yellow, which is growing on me. We haven't done much to it yet. It takes time. This one is looking good.
I love all your adventures Meg and you are doing a great job. But if nobody has mentioned it the drill bit in your hole saw is your pilot bit so you don't have to pre drill it. That will save you a step. Also caulk the screws you put through the ceiling so water won't get into the shop. Your shop is amazing too. I love your doorway into the shop.
Thank you Scott!
Meg it so much fun watching you installing the door ,ac, wiring and siding. .What a great job. On to your next project,
Thank you so much!
Hi Meg So I tend to comment before I finish watching the entire Video. On My 40 foot high cube I drilled through the wooden floor and ran my 1" schedule 40 underground 18 inches over to my power breaker box. I know you don't have a "Power Breaker box" to run to . But that information might be for later on. Maybe you can use a 30 amp water proof RV plug Metal box mounted outside the connex and drill a 3/4 " hole to the outside and use waterproof conduit with waterproof fitting to go through the wall.
Inside the Connex I use the rigid 1" to go to the plugs. I also bought a 12 plug power bar and metal cutting screws used on metal roof installation to help seal the holes, ( I also mastic the outside where I cut thought the Connex) I was drilling to mount the 12 plug heavy duty power bar to the wall above the work bench.
Hey Meg
Glad you took my suggestion for the air conditioner. Sea cans are like ovens in the summer. Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you Joe!!
I am continually impressed by what you have accomplished. You have learned so much. I’m sure you can call yourself a jack of all trades, master of none. I have heard it said that when you continue to learn you never get old.
Thank you so much Don! Appreciate that! Have a great week!
Experience is what you get when you were expecting something else.
Your construction techniques are - interesting - but I really admire your go-get-it-done approach.
lol! Thank you!
Garage/workshop 3.5 looking good!! Can't wait to see what the 4.0 workshop will turn out as hehe
Thank you!! Oh yes, me too! Very stoked for 4.0 lol!
you are such a smart/clever young lady.the 1 hour 32 mins flew by,when you started cutting the table legs down i thought it was disaster time!!
Thank you David!! Lol yes, it was a little sketchy cutting those legs down haha! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching!
I found that filling a small container with dish soap and dipping your finger in it and running it over your caulk bead is a good way to smooth out the caulk and it makes it nice and smooth. It also helps keep the caulk off your fingers and makes it easier to clean your hands.
I use a rag with paint thinner and dampen the rag and use that to wipe my finger when it needs to be cleaned and it make the caulking nice and smooth too.
Great job, Meg. The table for the A/C unit and the hanging of the light fixtures: If your methods work for you and you are happy with them, then those are the right methods. Here is how I might have done those two projects: When building tables or shelves or anything that I expect to bear weight, I have never been a fan of screwing or nailing the legs to the side of the top. By doing this, one is counting on the shear strength of the fasteners to hold up the table top and anything on it (in your case, the A/C unit). A safer way (in my opinion) is to place the table top on top of the legs. Fasten the top to the legs by driving screws through the top into the tops of the legs. This way, all weight rests upon the legs and is transferred to the ground. No chance of fasteners failing and allowing the A/C unit to crash to the ground. Hanging the light fixtures: A metal container is the perfect place for the use of rare earth magnets. I recently got some rare earth magnet hooks from Amazon and I love them. The LED light fixtures are very light and can easily hang from rare earth magnet hooks. The best part is that if you don't like the placement of the fixture, simply move the magnets to a new spot. Again, your method seemed to work for you. So, don't fix what isn't broke. Just a few suggestions. Great video! I am looking forward to the next one. Peace!!
Appreciate the tips, thank you! Great suggestions! And so glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
You're good at communicating constructive criticism in a polite, non-confrontational way. I grew up with hard men and it's refreshing to see kind folks give kind, effective input.
The weight of the table she made is directly on the legs. The table top was right on top of the legs, the screws are just holding the legs horizontally to the side boards. She could have added a couple braces between the legs under the table top, but I think that's overkill to hold a small ac unit when the legs already had braces on the bottom. That's a good idea about the magnets for the lights.
Takes me back to my youth. My mentor, my grandfather, was a master plumber and pipe fitter, master welder, and carpenter/cabinet maker.
Phrases like "Well, I guess that's one way of doing it." And "Well, that's not how I'da done it." And "There's a fine line between fast and half fast." come to mind.😊❤
* measure twice cut once .. words to live by :)
lol I hear these sayings from Mike often too!
@@mattcan69 But, I've cut it three times and it's still too short!
🤣 So true!!
@@Meg.Augustwho is Mike,?? Thanks BigAl California
Meg, seeing your process, tiny victories, tiny falls, and your meticulous isms are truly captivating! As a dude who takes on projects and helps my friends/ family, I can truly say that your attention to many details has me talking out loud to my screen, "it's fine!!" "close enough!!" "nobody'll notice that!!" lol! But on the other hand, my fiancee pays the same amount of attention to those little things as you, so I definitely appreciate and admire the subtleties between how "men and women approach things!" How you haven't been picked up by a network for a show of your own boggles my mind, but your channel certainly feels like you're well on your way!! I'm new to your content, but I'm anxious to show your stuff to my fiancee because she has the desire but lacks the time and fearlessness to go into it! She does like working with me on most projects, but your relentlessness and positive spirit will be an effective motivation!! Huge kudos and I personally relish in your celebration when you succeed!! Keep up the power and positivity!!
Mike & Ivana
Mike & Ivana, thank you so much for the super sweet comment! It honestly made my day to read this! I hope you continue to enjoy the videos, and I'm so glad to hear Ivana is interested in taking on projects as well. I started the same way - shadowing my partner (Mike) with his projects, then gradually building up confidence to tackle bits and pieces myself, and now on to my own projects! The fear is still there, but it truly is such a great feeling to push through the doubts and make/create something yourself! Thank you again for the support and encouragement! Hope you both have a wonderful week!
The positivity, and the determination is awesome....even when she makes a mistake she doesnt' get down on herself, just keeps going. And for the love of all that is holy, someone get this carpenter a table saw....lol
lol thank you!
And a chop saw.
Easy, she's just beginning to create on her own, she'll get there for sure, if not before, then when they start a house build, which will be looooots of cutting and choping. =)
This young lady is not only drop dead gorgeous she is one awesome Carpenter
Meg, a hole saw hack, get a 1/4" bolt that is as longer than the drill bit and cut the head off. The bolt will replace the drill bit, drill the pilot hole then drill the hole, the bolt is harder than the drill and will take more force to break.
good idea
Meg this process would make a great television show. You are one of the most entertaining channels on RUclips. I binged out on all your other videos. Fantastic young lady keep it up. Thank you for sharing.👍
Wow thank you so much Dennis!! Really appreciate that, and glad you're enjoying the videos!
Your really good with the caulk. And the licking your finger to push it in the crack is a classic.
Really enjoyed watching! You're getting better with all your tools the more you use them. Thanks, Meg : )
Thank you Darryl!
Great Idea for a Workshop! Needs a Staircase to Access the Roof, with a Deck, Canopy, Hot Tub, Bar, and of Course A Telescope! 😊. Such a Beautiful Place! Keep On Keeping On! Cheers from The Armpit of Texas!
Thank you! 😊
Great job Meg it came outstanding! Hard work does pay off... time to start the project. Thanks for Sharing...
Thanks so much! 😊
DIY is true happiness, Meg!
I love the way you say "out" by the way, like "aut"
Thank you!!
Solid ten Meg!!! That's for your hard work, creativity and the quality of your video!
Thank you so much! Appreciate that!
Another delightful video - you're coming on in leaps and bounds! 🥰
Thank you Bernard!! So glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you have a great week! See you soon!
Wanted to make sure nobody else mentioned it before commenting if you had already seen it, but don't forget to caulk up the holes on the roof where the screws from the light brackets are placed. Especially since they are in the valleys from the outside, just that much easier for water to get in. I really like the color choice for the siding, definitely easy on the eyes - not one of those bright vivid colors that hurts to look at in the sun haha. The inside is looking great too. It's crazy how accomplishing things that might seem so small to others can change your mood and perspective for the better. Just getting better organized can really go a long way. Excited to see what the next build will be!
Yeah, I just assumed she was gonna avoid putting holes in the roof altogether. But...nope.
If you watched the video, she did that already 1:25:38
@@HolographicOne oh excuse me for missing the 30 second part in an hour and a half video where she briefly did it. It was probably at that point of the video where I was typing part of the comment below to remind myself because my memory is so shit. pardon me for wanting to help her not get leaks and missed .5% of the video. "if you watched the video...."
LOL, down boys, she's got it!
@@jamesgorsh5752 I was a little pissy that day, NGL. Just comments like that get on my nerves, the condescension behind it. Like dude, 30 seconds out of an hour and a half I and I missed it. If that person had just said "She did, check the timestamp" cool, my bad and would've gave it a like. That Other part drove me F'n nuts though. Whether they intended it to sound that way, Idk. But that's how I took it. Not enough context in simple text, but enough subtext for me to see that sounded smug. Like I said, was a little pissy that day and snapped back.
Nice setup, Bigger workshop than I've got.Awesome job Meg!
Thanks! 😊
Great job Meg. I really enjoying watching your videos.
That's great to hear, thank you Glenn!
Second video I've watched of yours and I believe the one I saw was maybe from 2 weeks ago? Unreal how much for comfortable and confident you are with the circular saw. Your confidence and skill in general is growing greatly in as you find little nuanced ways to fix unforeseen issues. Great work!
Thanks so much!
@@Meg.August Of course!
If you hold your square against the back side of the lumber, you can use it as a guide for the circular saw.
Meg.... You're awesome. Like how you perform task that don't work with one's that do. Definitely a hit show keep up the good work. A wife to behold!!! Can see conversation now darn it!! The international broke don't worry honey I fix it! You just sit on couch kick your feet up and enjoy your beer..😂
lol thank you Jermaine!
@@Meg.August your certainly welcomed.
You are amazing. Your smart your creative .and your witty. Keep up the great work. You're doing excellent . I like all your videos. Have a great week. . peace .
Thank you so much! Have a great week too!
This was awesome. Good job. So much fun watching you learn. Pretty soon you'll be teaching us old dogs how to do it...😅
Aw thank you!
I love the progress you've made. Everything turned out great. Your determination is inspiring. On a side note, don't forget your drain hole for you a/c. Just don't want you to have water leaking everywhere inside.
Thanks so much! Yes, you know what, I totally ran out of time and didn't get to the drain plug but I will! Thanks for looking out 😊
You accomplished a lot in this video, Meg! You did a nice job on the wiring and installation of that RV hook up plug. I think that's what it's called. I'm looking forward to the future project surprise!
Thank you so much!
Nice work! Great attitude!
Tips: 1) Temporarily screw scrap wood to the sheathing so the door frame or window can't fall out through the rough opening. 2) For blocking on the vent louvers, cut a piece of siding a little wider than the vent and turn it upside down. Match the thickness to your trim, cut out the hole, pre drill the screw holes. 3) For easier caulking cut the tip off square, chamfer and round off the outer edge of the cut tip with sandpaper, aim the nozzle 45 degrees towards the direction of travel so you are pushing a little round bead ahead of the tip. The tip does the smoothing. 4) Magnets!
Wow. I’m more impressed by the fact that you’re doing this by yourself. It all looks amazing.
Thanks so much!
Good to see you.
I need to get out and cut some grass but it's hot and humid so i'm going to see if it rains first! Ha.
Portable work shop looking good.
Thanks so much!
I enjoy your content. It reminds me of certain times in my life where I struggled/learned to spoon a tire, frame lumber, etc. Good for you for gettin’ after it!
Thank you!!
You Did an Awesome job. You Totally Rock Girl... Keep up the Great work. Looking forward to seeing more of your Videos 👍👍💪💪💪
Thanks so much!
Great finishes both outside and in. Be proud of your self Meg, you have enthusiasm and drive with the beautiful smile. See you soon xx 💖
absolutely love your drive and willingness to take on the big jobs, cars or storage containers....well done
Thanks so much!
The most effective I've ever been with a hole saw on my drill is to run it as fast as possible on middling torque and barely put any pressure on what I'm cutting, just let it chip away at the material. The speed helps keep me straight and keeps my touch light .
Meg, if you happen to end up needing to cut holes through the roof I've seen shipping container tiny home builders realize that the roof steel is much thicker than the side steel!
Thank you Sean!
Great to see you tackling these projects and succeeding. One tip for hole saws: When I use a hole saw I predrill the hole to 1/4" (pilot size) and fit a 1/4" piece of steel rod to the hole saw to centre it. Should the saw skip the shaft is much less likely to fail and should it bend is far more easily replaced.
You're really enjoyable to watch as you learn and teach yourself all the new things that you do and you're not scared to try anything thank you for all the videos
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos, that's awesome!
@@Meg.August I have a 4 year old nephew who is addicted to the phone and he is going to RUclips University about weather phenomenon for some reason he has a thing for thunderstorms and tornadoes because we get a lot of pretty good and violent storms south of St Louis Missouri I wish I had RUclips as a kid because the stuff I've learned from it as a 52-year-old comes all the time and there's a lot of stuff I sit and watch and think they got to learn the hard way and it is enjoyable watching somebody go to the learning process a lot of things that you are doing I started learning when I was 10 or 11 only because I'm a boy but don't let anything discourage you you got this and you're very welcome
Love that the videos are long unlike most YT videos that are much shorter. I am learning and getting ideas from this myself but I can't help but find myself saying "Why she do it that way? I would do it this way instead." 😋
Good work. 👍👍 Now it's time to make a beautiful terrace on your shipping container. 🙂🙂
thank you! lol that would be awesome!
With the amount of times (and probably $ spent) at Canadian Tire, you really should reach out and ask if they would be interested in some sort of sponsorship or collab. Best of luck with your ventures 😄
Lol! That would be awesome! Thank you!
I love your videos, they make me laugh so hard! You are so funny and seemingly uncaring about your mistakes!
lol thank you! I'm glad you got a good laugh 😊
@@Meg.August I love your little music things that go with it too. I hope you didn’t take it the wrong way, I guess I see myself in you and the way you do things, I always laughed at myself though. They always say measure twice and cut once, for me it’s measured ten times and still cut twenty. Besides your stuff always turns out and fits better than mine. So you must be doing something right, and your husband must be proud of you.
Great work Meg! 👊🏻👍🏻 Stay safe and take care my friends 🫶🏻 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you always 👍🏻 Have a wonderful day 🌞
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful day and week as well!!
Great vid again meg! My favorite so far. I do hate to be a downer but that sure looks like a 5k btu ac unit. Sadly those in the room units are woefully inefficient in the worst way for your install location. In order to cool they have to expel air from the space they are in. This causes negative pressure that gets balanced with air infiltrating the space from every nook and crack it has available. So in short order they are expelling conditioned air and replacing it with the same volume of unconditioned air from outside. In a home or larger building they are bringing slightly less conditioned air in from adjacent rooms and they can keep up well enough even if very inefficient. In your installation the only air to replace whats expellled is completely unconditioned. And also, even if you had a standard window unit (which would be far far better) it would struggle to do much in that volume of space without some insulation. Again, hate to be a downer but like ya too much to not be honest. 😊 A solar roof ventilator would probably keep the container at ambient temp as well or better than that setup.
That's so great to hear @mrpbright!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Lol this air conditioning unit is definitely not the most powerful out there, but it does the trick! I actually got it during a heat wave a few years ago and it was the very last a/c unit they had anywhere in my home town haha! It's the first A/C unit i've ever had - never grew up with A/C because we never needed it! Wasn't until a few years ago we started getting heat waves every year, now it's a summer essential! For the main house/shop I'll be doing a proper heat pump/a/c set up and this unit can get retired lol! I would also love to do solar but it's currently not in the budget - but hopefully one day!! Hope you have an amazing week!
You're the best, Meg, such an inspiration! Love from Scotland!
Thanks so much!!
An absolute work horse, a true Clydesdale! ❤
As a horse girl, I very much appreciate that lol!!

@Meg.August , lol Meg. That's a really compliment. Great horses have all their strength in their hind quarters. Like you! Seriously, you're going to do great at everything and thank you for your hard work.
Am I the only one that was relieved when she put the factory edge out on the door trim after she ripped it down? LMAO! Jokes aside, you should be proud of what you've built, Meg. All of my early work was so crude, but as I picked up on the tricks and the math started mathin' I found the confidence to try new stuff that turned out amazing :) Nice work ma'am
DIY and nice Scenery is always good! Thanks for Sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I love your attitude, you make a lot of mistakes but you don’t throw the towel in, some of them make me laugh but like you say you learn by your mistakes, your so cool Meg

Great project.
I love those lights I'm going to have to find some for my shop
Congrats on finally having a shop to tinker in. Considering all the work you have been doing it is well earned. Looking forward to all that comes next. Thanks Meg.
Thank you, Jeremy! That's very kind!

What about her partner,Mike? Meg wants to do "it" (keep watching) by herself?! @@BrandyMcgrogan-kh4rl
Your amazing and great work you do on everything you do 😊❤❤
Meg there is a lot of pretty girls on youtube trying to get attention with tight clothes and beauty filters, doing all kind of DIY stuff . But you stand out above all of them because you are 100% genuine, we can see your frustration when things don't goes well and the happiness when you complete your projects. you are funny and a little goofie sometimes 🙂 but what we appreciate most of your videos is that you are a real intelligent, beautiful and amazing women. as always I wish both of you the best and greetings from Sweden.
Wow thank you so much for the kind comment! Really appreciate that! Hope you have a wonderful week and all the best to you as well!
I gave you thumbs-up for all your efforts!
she did
I cringe each time she drills holes in the roof. I think 2 sided automotive trim tape would have been better. But that's just me.
Much appreciated @tubeDude48!
i always look forward to seeing a megs video ❤ keep it up
That's so great! thank you!
Hi Meg. Another fun video. Thankyou!😅
Thank you!!
Hi Meg, thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I hope this would empower anyone to do things they once doubted they were capable of ;). As for your movies, I think it's enough I said that there was no other video I waited since Monday morning. All the best!

Absolutely amazing Meg,lol ,many talents you have and patience 👋👋👍👍
Thank you!
You NAILed it again MAGnificent Meg! At 54:37 Even your voice became more enthusiastic! It's so nice to see how familiar you're becoming with the different tools. Naturally, I'm curious about the next project. But what's under the blue tarp? I suspect it's part of the foundation of your new house. I heard and saw on the news that there are serious wildfires due to the ongoing heatwave. Fortunately, Mother Nature is lending a hand from above. Let's hope it's not just a drop in the ocean. Until the next one. Keep the saw spinning!!
Thank you so much Roy! Good guess on the foundation materials but it's for something else very exciting! I'll have a video on that in a few weeks!! Yes, there are very serious wildfires here but thankfully, our area has been ok so far. Very grateful for the rain when we get it. Hope you have a great week!
Nice work once again! :D Loved seeing you make the container a more habitable space for your future endeavors! :) My only real concern is the daisy-chaining of power bars which isn't ideal, but if you make sure not to exceed any safety ratings of the respective power bars you should be OK. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for the tips! Yes, absolutely, don't want to overload the extension cords - I'll be careful!
Nice job Meg. I am enjoying watching your all's progress on the property..
Thanks so much!
Excellent job, very nice workshop! 👍
I was going to watch the last dvd disc from MacGyver season 6 (the original tv -series), but noticed you just released this video, so watched your video first :) Now, going to watch the MacGyver, love how he builds things too, and solve problems :)
Maybe we rename her: MEGyver🧰
@@Jurornumber5 The thought crossed in my mind too :)

I have those same lights in my shed and they are awesome.
They're so great!
Hi meg Vaughan from Australia again it's so nice to see you again the only way to learn is to have a go and learn by your mistakes take care my friend
Hi Vaughan! Thanks for watching, and have a great week!
Good job. Although you may want to increase the vent outlet for the AC. By using a smaller outlet you can create some extra backpressure in the AC, reducing its cooling ability and efficiency. For lifting the can, you can use a small bottle jack, like 5-10ton and lift the low side and shim it pretty easy.
Hi Meg I just installed one of these portable A/C units and I bought a extra 8 foot 6" insulated exhaust tube and a connector for the two tubes. That way the A/C unit is on the floor.
Great video Meg
Thank you!!
What I did for lights in my container is used those tie down hooks already welded inside the top of the walls. You can see them on the wall when you drilled into the roof. I ran a ratchet strap from wall loop across to opposite wall, then hooked my shop light to the strap. This way the cord is already close to the wall and easy to hook to an extension cord.
Love the work in the flops and socks I’m so about it haha
lol thank you!
Hello Meg Thank you for the great video
You are so welcome! and thanks for watching!!
Just a little tip ,if you put a air tool fitting on your drill and the aposing handle you can quickly connect and disconnect the handle as needed 😉
thanks!
Given what Forest fires are like in BC in the summer I think you’re right to be super careful about sparks.
The side grip for the drill is a good choice - I damaged the nerves in my wrist last summer because I put too much torque on it using a power driver at a bad angle.
If it was me, I might be tempted to run cross beams to carry the lights rather than puncturing the “roof” in a valley, where water will sit. You could fasten them to the square tube in the can corners. At the end of the day it’s a sea can, so it’s all good 😊
Lubricating the hole saw is a good practice, I should be more diligent with that.
Even though I’ve been making mistakes much longer than you have, I find your positive energy really inspiring, and hope to bring it to my upcoming projects myself!
Thanks so much Kev! Appreciate the nice comment 😊 Hope you have a great day!
Wow it's coming along It makes you feel good when you've done something all by yourself I am happy for you keep up the great work and all the videos that you show us you are very entertaining you got me hooked

@@Meg.August You're so welcome :).
I was just thinking to ask you, why you didn't frame the entire entrance of your shed?
It just makes things easier... :).
Great job Meg
Thank you!!
Welll done! You get the job done by the " what can possibly go wrong approach" 👻
nice work Meg, I admire your attention to detail. just one suggestion from a firefighter, the A/C unit needs its own plug without the power bar. Those power bars will overheat when powering an appliance and sometimes catch fire.
Thank you! Appreciate the tip
@@Meg.August He is correct, I had a small 1500 watt space heater plugged into a good surge protector because the cord on the heater couldn't reach the outlet. I thought it could handle it and it worked fine. The other day I was relocating all my networking equipment into a closet by that surge protector and found the surge protector outlet the heater was plugged into was fried black and the power plug on the surge protector was starting to fry. If you're going to plug an AC unit or heater or any high amp appliance into a surge protector or power strip you need to make sure it can handle 2-3 times the amps of the rating on your appliance. When your AC unit compressor kicks on it draws a lot more amps than it's normal amp rating.
@@badcrczthis excellent advice and nicely explained without "mansplaining".
A good rule of thumb is if it has a motor or a heating element in it then it should get it's own socket, if it's an electronic device it can go in a power bar. Or you can think of it like this; if it's for the kitchen, the workshop or outdoors it gets it's own socket and if it's for the bedroom, the front room or a study then it can go in a power bar, except for heaters and A/C.
I drilled my first hole. Love it
all looks good, great progress - if you run out of fingers to lick while caulking .. I have found soapy water on the finger works very well, and the caulk cleans off your finger with a rag really easy too.
Love your videos Great job! 😀👍
Thanks so much!
Love that the videos are long unlike most YT videos that are much shorter. I am learning and getting ideas from this myself but I can't help but find myself saying "Why she do it that way? I would do it this way instead.

Thank you!
Lucky you can use those for building. Here we get cold weather. And then mold builds up if the structure isn't breathable. That's why modern roofs use a breathable cloth like Tyvek for insulation and also have roof vents.
