    Hey guys. Good morning. Great to see all of the progress you are making on your house. Thanks for sharing. Say, if I could share something with you. When you are filming, try having whatever light you have behind the camera so we can see your face, or whatever you are focusing on. That's all. No criticism meant, just want to better enjoy your content.

The bug screen is a tricky job but important to keep the critters out. That insulation is a different way but you say it will work. See ya next week.

    You only needed to just cut the nails on the stud then reinstall it in the new place then cut off the bottom plate. Now you will need to scab in another 2x4 next to the frame because your door frame is now too thin to use.
