    I continue the budget renovation on the cabin by fixing mistakes and utilising the space available to make much more storage! But really this is the first step of a 3 stage transformation for this space. The step I am most excited about is still to come 🤓📚

    Welllll a bit to unpack on this one 😅 So what project should I tackle next??
    Also, I can't say enough how much I love this new merch line. These are top quality, sustainably made and something I would legit buy straight away if I saw it in a store. I want Kind Co. to be a symbol. If you see someone out there wearing it, stop and have a chat, build connections, ask how they're doing 💛 Very excited for what's to come.

      Love the beanie. Definitly will get one. Keep up the work. FYI please do some investigation about betterhelp. Saw some videos about them and and then the company no longer looked so good. Just take a look and then decide whether you want to continue recommending them to your followers. The decision is ultimately up to you

Everyday we're 2 happy women learning and enjoying this precious life. We're stewarding and building in the cloud forest of Southern Mexico, we've had roof issues, too much rain issues (tho grateful), no termites thankfully, building with stone and adobe, super fun. Some days we're carpenters, other days plumbers, gardeners, masons...We took a month off to travel. Today we're traveling in the Amazon basin (climate change impacts are devastating btw :( ) Thanks for being YOU!

      Nice you feel confident enough to let us all in on the secret girl friend. Everybody is entitled to feel loved, so pleased you have that someone special.❤
      I’m in uk, we’re just coming into late spring, some days it’s very spring like others not so much. Everyone who knows me also knows that whenever the weather is good I’ll be outside. Don’t expect the house to be polished to within an inch of it life! I have no problem with visitors as long as they are prepared to check the weather on the days prior to their visit! Good weather days are meant to be spent outside enjoying the day, definitely not inside!
      Don’t stress over getting a video out so often that it takes the pleasure out of the job you’re doing. We all know sometimes “life just gets in the way” life is for living in the moment, have a down day, turnoff the camera! Live for that moment. I suspect I’m not the only one out there who will still be out there more than happy to know you are less stressed and enjoying picking up the camera just slightly more. As they say, “ less is more” Don’t forget to be kind to yourself.❤

    The 'built ins' look great. The best part about getting things second hand, apart from the cost savings, is knowing they are saved from landfill. I just picked up some wardrobe inserts for free from my local buy swap sell yesterday, and after having no wardrobes for about 20 months, I'm looking forward to installing them.

    Hi Max and Occy ❤ I can't wait to see the next video. Once you've taken the storage items and moved those the bathroom would be good to do next. With the kitchen you could build a small wall beside the fridge and then keep the U shape. Just make the bench/return a little longer. Then use shelves on the wall to give it an open feel rather than cupboards. As this will make it appear larger also and not closed in. You could even put a shelf above all the windows in the kitchen and the seating/dining area. To provide you with more space to place items you use often. The little cupboard currently on the wall in the kitchen would serve well in the bathroom. You've done a fantastic job with the house. Banana bread and cake are always good options too. I wish you all the best 💜

    Max the bedroom looks great and the living room does too, and will be even better when you manage to get what you need to finish it off. Never underestimate the need for storage, it makes perfect sense to create the space for storage so you can work on the next project. I think that will probably be the bathroom, as the wall impacts on the kitchen. Pleased to see you are taking care of yourself. Occy is so cute and funny, the look on his face when you started taking the wall apart lol. I never knew that about banana trees dying once they produced the fruit x

    LOVE the head gear! About the sun, when it comes out and it's been a while since you've seen it, it feels like seeing an old friend. Glad you're old friend made an appearance. I did a similar thing at my house (assembling a wardrobe -- we call it a closet here -- around some prefab shelving). Made the closet SO much easier. Nice to see you were able to reuse so much of the previous finish material -- phenomenal! It looks so good and will be great to have that space. My vote for next project is the bathroom. There have certainly got to be times when you don't really want to go outside to take care of business, ahem. . . BUT when nature calls, you don't really have a choice. How nice will it be to be able to walk around the corner INSIDE and "pay the water bill?!" The end of the video just made me think of "Here Comes the Sun." Give it a listen, it's a good one!

    Maybe a good next project (to make the most of the rain) is to create some rainwater channels from the gutters? Chains will help control / distribute the flow of water, and you could use the water for the gardens or grey water use.

    Max a banana suggestion
    Try slicing up the bananas and frying them in some butter until caramelised.
    Goes well on some yoghurt, ice cream or with some french toast!
    BTW home grown bananas are the best!

He was just as particular about the finished product as you are. It's important to feel good when you look at what you've made, so it will always bring you pleasure. Thank you for the heartwarming sentimental vibe. The cabin is turning into a work of art. You should be very proud! Hugs to Occy from Canada.

    To preserve that nice lawn, you may want to think about gravelling a landing area for drop-off, of supplies from the trailer/car/truck etc. etc. with the colder weather well on it’s way you are going to get more rain. Just a thought … love the wardrobe, great job Occy keep Max on track. 😀

    Girlfriend - did I hear you say girlfriend???? I think that would be marvelous - simply brilliant that you would have a woman in your life.
    Okay, next project. Since you do have a nice bathroom, albeit outside, it will work for now. You might want to think about your kitchen. It would be nice for you to have a place to prepare a good, nutritious meal for yourself and friends. It's nice that you have fresh bananas to eat, but you can overdo it on bananas, you know. Too much potassium if you're not careful. Once the rainy season is over, you'll be able to get your vegetables growing so you can eat some nice veggies. And, oh my - roasted veggies in the oven with a little salt and pepper and olive oil - yum!!!! So, that's just my suggestion. You might want to check with your special guest this weekend. Much love, Max! You did a smashing job with the new wall and bedroom buildins. xoxoxoxoxoxo Suzi
