      He said a lot of cherry wood and my first thought was that I will be so jealous of Meg's cherry table once it's built

    • @kathleenoverton3263
      @kathleenoverton3263 Год назад +1

      @@heatherannekennedy9368 - their space, right now, is tiny. The table they currently use is moveable. Until they build new or build onto their existing home it doesn’t make sense to build a table. It would have to be a small vs a big table for family and company. One day. Good thing that, if kept dry, clean and out of direct sun, this wood will still be around when that day comes.

    What an incredible blessing! It will be fun to see what you and the boys will do with the lumber. You can never have too much bricks either. Endless possibilities. One of those boards alone could cost $50. Happy for you. Meg did well too. Congratulations!

    @hardenmama1800 Год назад +40

    Wow! You guys really scored at the estate sale! The wood is amazing. I can’t even imagine the retail value of all of that lumber. That huge stock pot will be so useful when processing meat. I’m sure Meg will have many uses for those bricks.

    What beautiful lumber, Ben!! Could a deck or addition to the mobile home be in it's future?!! Little Buggie is definitely a daddy's girl!!❤ Reminds me of me and my dad. I was the baby of 4, and I had daddy wrapped around my little finger! Meg, your dinner looked so delicious! Meatloaf and mashed taters are a favorite at my house too. Makes the yummiest leftovers😘.

    “Bless me father for I have sinned” is how we start Confession - you got such a good deal on the wood and bricks that you practically “stole” it. Kudos. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 5/9/2023.

    Omg that wood is gorgeous, congrats. So many possibilities. If the boys make anything feel free to share.

  • @deirdre444
    @deirdre444 Год назад +2

    Could I just make a suggestion? I've been acquiring wood of all kinds for several years and have found that leaving wood outside--even under something with a roof--and wrapping it with tarps sounds like protection in theory, but what actually happens is the tarp holds in moisture, whether from rain or humidity or both, and causes a hugely regrettable mold/mildew situation on and in the wood. Your best solution would be to get it inside somehow: in a barn, in a pole building, etc, and leave it exposed to the air. Tarps trap moisture and ruin the wood. By the way, we love your channel. :)

  • @anchorageprepper9008

    My grandpa grew fig trees in NY, he used to wrap them in burlap over the winter to protect them for years. When he couldn’t anymore they still lived and produced an abundance of figs. You may want to try it.

    @Scipiogirl Год назад +1

    My grandfather made each one of his children a bed. About 85 years ago he had made my dads bed with burlwood. He polished it with glass, no finish, just glass burnished. It’s absolutely beautiful. My older sister has it right now. It’s a wonderful heirloom to remember our family by.
    I am eager to see what becomes of all the beautiful pieces that you can construct from your new stash.

    That's furniture making wood! Love that you got all that for such a good price Ben. Meg did great getting all those bricks too. I'm so glad you found a good place to keep the wood. It's great that the boys are helping. So great you could use some of those exotic woods for knife handles. Meatloaf, potatoes, and casserole for dinner. Whoa, gravy too! Meg, I sure hope you have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. T wood posts with cattle panels for a trellis, such a clever idea. That should look great with all the cucuzzi squash hanging down. I like how you got the cattle panels tighter and less sagged. Nice to see your fig come up. Thanks for this video Hollar family!

  • @thaliahelene
    @thaliahelene Год назад +11
