    It was so tough watching Levi struggle on those stairs. What a great and loyal friend he is. Dogs remind us of our own mortality, because we can watch their whole lifespan in what feels like the blink of an eye. I hope to keep seeing him in these videos, but know it can't last forever 💔

      It's sad to say, but he did the right thing getting Kody while Levi is still with us, as it will lessen the blow of Levis eventual passing ever so slightly. It still makes me sad thinking about my dogs that died over the years, but they are a joy to have in your life, and that's the price you have to pay. I heard a story about a man who had black Labs. When one died he got anoth and gave it the same name treating it like the same dog. His way of coping I guess.

He doesn’t do a lot of outside work because he doesn’t have to because he is doing so well from his channel. I wasn’t putting him down in no way. Most of these guys that have channels wish they were doing as well so they could do the same thing as him. He getting paid to do his home how great is that.

      Deplorable Centrist I recently had to have a pet put to sleep....
      Eva was a wonderful wonderful dog.
      Smart, loving and polite.
      I miss her.
      I got her as a rescue, she was a pit bull that was abused, so I made damn sure the last 10 years of her life she was pampered and wanted for nothing.
      She never once offered to harm anyone, she loved to scare the local cats out of their minds, but she never harmed one, mostly because Pit bulls give cats super speed and wings!

We lost 3 pets in one year, because they were old or got sick, and it hurts everytime, but the love we got back from all of them helped ease that pain. Now we just have 4 dogs----three terriers and a chocolate lab. They're our furry kids.

      If the roof doesn't get painted, it will rust through or even de-laminate in time. I'd hate to try finding a pinhole rust point in all those welded seams to stop a small leak in years ahead. All that would take some years to happen though.

    • @roddypryce454
      @roddypryce454 4 года назад +19

      I think Andrew should paint the roof.
      If it was copper it would form a green patina and be stable but the iron will keep on rusting and pinholes will eventually appear on the surface over time.
      That’s why they paint cars and tractors etc.

LoL In Arizona they have a tourist attraction called “mystery castle”. A man was forced to leave his family behind and relocate to Arizona after being diagnosed with TB. At the time it was a death sentence, so he decided to spend his remaining time building his daughter a castle. The castles anything but ordinary, it’s definitely worth a visit if you get the chance. The backstories just as interesting as the castle itself.

To have watched them as they erected the steel framing for the roof was for me a knuckle knawing time.He and they deserve a design award in the calibre of the Pritzker. Plus a trophy from a national welding association. Andrew, many thanks to you for the many hours you put into the production of the build.and the pleasure it gave to me to watch it slowly take shape.

    Hey I watch every video and I believe you are doing a great job. Here’s an idea for your new roof. Instead of steel walls put up glass walls. Check out your local glass installation places and see if they have glass that was ordered for a project that changed and now they are stuck with the obsolete glass.
    It happens all the time.

      Also don't forget that a white roof will reflect sun energy back up into the atmosphere, helping avoid climate warming. An even more advanced solution could be to plant greenery on the roof because that will simulate having no building there at all. You may even attract bees and help your local biodiversity and lifecycles.

    • @adamgm84
      @adamgm84 4 года назад +3

      Period-correct castles used yellow or pink limestone, so if you wanted it to be more castle-like, you could use the yellowish limestone colour and get probably lots of the benefits of having a white roof.

      Mustie 1 has an oil mixture that keeps the colour but protects from further rusting. Jenolite is a phosphorus acid compound you just brush or spray on and leave. I have used it on steam railway engines left outside and its great.White vinegar is an eco alternative but not as long lasting.
