I always get such comfort from watching you and Elizabeth. Thank you for sharing this with us. God Bless you both.💖
Absolutely love your new intro! Love seeing Pop and Leo in there as well. Under the new shed roof that you are building you could add a window that will also help keep the shed nice and cool in the summer. May Yahweh continue to bless the both of you. Thank you for being a blessing to us and for sharing your wisdom with us. Love you guys! ❤
It's probably too late to tell you now, even though the French Doors are expensive, Steel Rollup Doors are pretty cheap priced at about $150. They are readily available on Craigslist. They aren't a bad idea, because leaving the mower outside in the weather can shorten its life dramatically... 😷😷😷😷
It’s good you finally got to work on your shed. The vents are a neat addition! The riding lawn mower is cool, a great investment to cut your large yard. It will definitely save you time and energy. Can’t wait to see you build the roof for the lawnmower! Happiness, Teresa
Enjoyed watching you work on your shed today Bill...THOSE garden beds are AMAZING! You have some awfully good 'thoughts/smarts' in that noggin' of yours. I thank-you for sharing your time/talents with us and pray for health and God to continue to Bless you n' yours. Hi to Elizabeth = Beautiful wife!
I like how you can use available materials when needed and it comes out very nice.
Good work! Man, you stay busy! One day I want to see a whole video of all you guys just sitting on your front porch twittiling your thumbs and enjoying all you have accomplished.
Have a wonderful week!
Coming along nicely Bill, looking forward to the next project.💕
Thanks, Bill. Everytime I see something being built by you, I'm emboldened to DIY. Those events are a wonder & seeing how you installed them so easily & the ventilation process with your roofing beams, has me thinkin' of other places to use them & how I now believe, is the proper way to build a shed, here in the very humid South. 🤗's 💞👵
Wow Remote control on your garden beds, you do amazing work!
😁👍
Just like Elizabeth, I enjoy the video's you do too, my dad would do all the things you do and I learned so much from watching him work and handing him tools, I think it's important for people to have these skills to be more independent. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I love when you guys share cooking recipes with us from Thrive.
Take care of your equipment and they'll take care of you. Or said my grandpa. 😀 Shed looks good.
My great-grandma used to say the same thing about your feet! 😂
@@SLP8041 smart woman. 😀
Great idea for lawnmower. Shed looks awesome. Vents will really make it cooler.
Oh Bill I’m so glad you got the JohnDeere. I’m 72 years old and don’t know how I would manage without mine. I truly truly love it. It is worth every penny she cost me. I even do all the maintenance myself. I keep her in the garage to prolong her life and never put her away wet so the deck won’t rust out. I should wash her and wax her ha ha!
If you find the venting needs help, you could install a solar vent fan. They have their own solar panel to run the fan.
Great video Bill. Can’t wait to see the next part of the shed project.
Me too.. they are good projects too.
I opted to add vents in my small wooden shed because it was only 50 dollars extra to add them. If not it would be so hot inside. I still insulated the shed and in the winter I designed something that covers the vents from the inside so it doesn’t get freezing cold inside the shed overnight. Maybe I’ll install a small heater in there too.
I like your new intro. Well done. I hope you all are doing OK. As always love your videos so much. I have learned so much. Have a blessed week.
hahaaa.. That rapid fire nailing was pretty good!!
I enjoyed that, too, & thought of a human woodpecker 🤣
@@mspat8195 Just the sound effects was enough but the thing was fun!
@@cheycasters, LOL
@@mspat8195 i have to agree... neat!
Riding Lawnmower - Working Smarter, Not Harder. Put your energy into the projects you have lined up.
Liking your idea of a side shed for the riding lawnmower. If you are making the shed to just fit the lawnmower, consider designing so you can easily remove the outside wall, should you decide to expand the shed. You could still leave your support post and then add on to that. Dang... your place is looking nice and I am so loving how you are making a home for your family. Looking forward to the projects on your to-do-list.
Thanks for sharing Bill ! I’m excited to see the shed when its all finished . God bless and have a great day !
Bill you are a man of many hats! Awesome job my friend and I enjoyed this video as always!
ONce again I have to say - thank you for a clear explanation that actually says WHY we should do something (same with the cooking videos). It helps so much to understand the reason for doing something that may seem 'extra' otherwise. :)
PS love how the editing has evolved over the years and how you can do simply but cool effects without taking away from the content. :)
Bill, you do such a good job on everything you undertake! You do it to please Elizabeth, yourself, and the Lord and that's exactly as it should be.
Carry on!!
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Colossians 3:23
I've been watching your channel for a day and I hope you keep making great videos and I wish you the best.
Oh wow you just reminded me about the vent in my husband's shed that he always turned on this time of year. It has one of those shutter exhaust fans from Amazon and it works so well for the upper part of the gambrel roof. Your place is getting so spiffy! Hard to believe you've only been there since Christmas :)
Great job as always, you have accomplished so much on your new homestead. Hope all. Is well, blessings from VA.

Enjoyed your video, good size, excited to see finished product. Enjoy your day 🌈
Moooving along with all those projects. Keep well.
Everything is coming along nicely! 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great job. I always wondered which side was the other side, now I know.
Lol....me too.
Love your new intro so interesting. That is interesting of the placement of the vents. I really like your she'd. Take care.😁 Hubby and I have a John Deere lawn mower and love it. Nothing runs like a Deere. Lol 😂🤣 🤗. Cub cadet is also good. 😀
Bill you are so talented and so is your Beautiful Elizabeth!! What a great team you make as you complement one another! Blessings! Susan from Ontario Canada! Have a wonderful day!!!! PS: the shed looks amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍👍

Really like your new intro! It was time for an update with new home, pop, etc. ! 😀
that's cool I can't wait to see the finished product
I agree. The weather will do a number on the mower. I built a small ‘lean to’ addition on my shed. Wanted to save my investment (tractor) and use it as long as possible
No matter what you build it will be awesome. God Bless
Thanks. Looks good.
Looking good! There is always something to do around a home. With the shed roof you can also create a water catchment system for your garden, than you do not have to use too much of your well water. Check first if you are aloud to do the system, there are some county’s that do not permit this.
Wow, Arches National Park made the intro. I'm from Utah 💖💕💖💕💖💕 Thanks!
We love Utah! We go to American Fork, UT every year for Thrive Life conventions and training. That’s where they are located. So we went to Arches on one of our trips. We LOVED it,
Nice tractor! I just bought a battery operated lawn mower myself. Got tired of that reel mower. Too much work. Its been a True Blessing and frees up more time. Enjoy your new toy!
Nice editing! Enjoyed the video! I love seeing all your projects!
Good idea for vents as things are going to warm up.
Nice new introduction!
Lookibg good. Great skills. There is nothing better than doing to help learn a skill.
Yes!! I say do it 8ft, that way you can hang your ladders horizontal either on the shed wall or a bracket set up between the lean to posts. I am currently adding something similar to my pond arbor, to have a covered sitting area, so I can leave cushioned chairs out there and they stay dry! I wish I could have scrounged roofing but had to buy expensive clear pvc corrigated roofing, which I guess is ok cuz it will look nice at a feature area. I also noticed that your shed is about the size my Girl Cave will be😂🤣, just so I have a compost toilet/bucket in the back 40😂🤣😂so why not call it a "Girl Cave" and add a campstove and chairs/table and have a tea station!?!😍 the "back 40" is only a steep incline of 1/4acre, that's tiered, but it's my land and I'm claiming it!! Got a whole fruit orchard and flower beds, My Secret Garden!!!🌸🏵🌹🌺🌳🌱⚘🌿🌼🌻🍁
Jane Bray, I might have to borrow your idea about a “Girl Cave” plus my 3 granddaughters would love it! I really like your idea!
I love to watch you work!
Are those Army/SSGT Class A's yours? If so wow!! Thank you for your service.
24 years. 😊
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree oh wow!!! I love your channel! You and Elizabeth are wonderful people.
"I need to do A, but first I have to do B - oh, but wait! C has to be done before anything else. And the list goes on. Welcome to owning property! But you'll get it done!! Best wishes from Virginia!!
Your new Intro is great! I'm sure the vents will help. Your new tractor looks nice, definitely nice to have a riding mower. If you get busy and don't get to the shed siding, just add some in with CGI if the shed is in the background of your videos.. 😁 Could make it brick, etc..LOL
Thats an interesting idea!..
Good job, Bill. God Bless.
Your videos are awesome!
Thank you. :)
Whirly birds are an old fashioned but affordable way to get some good active ventilation in a shed.
Love, love, love your new intro!
Thanks!
When adding the extra roof to cover the lawnmower, why not put at least one side up to protect is from the elements. That way you can just pull it in one way and have some shelter for it during rains. Just a thought and you are so creative and knowledgeable in building that I know you can figure it out :) Thanks for sharing
Good going Bill.
I am not Neil , Those John deer trackers are great my Dad had one , Dad had a small trailer that could be attached that he took the grand children for rides with when they where small they loved it , good investment .
Nice work
Love the shed and the videos. How about using those solar fans 🤔?
I just wanted to come here and make this statement. It is June 2 in Beaufort South Carolina 11 o’clock and 80° out humidity hardly not at all. This is unheard of. I’ve been here 36 years and back in the past we were suffering on St. Patrick’s Day out on the beach at 82 high humidity. I’ve never seen a we don’t have spring I’ve never seen a spring here we don’t have spring or fall. What we have is Gnat season
Bill, cover that uniform with a garment bag that blocks the light or it will fade from the sun.
Hope that mortgage is going down or does not exist on the VA home. Best wishes in your endeavors. Praise God.
Yeah I agree check FB MARKETPLACE or the FB yardsale groups in your area... it’s AMAZING what I have found from contractors purging and at 1/8 the cost! Granite sinks, vanity mirrors, wheel barrows you name it! Sometimes rich people buy a new house and renovate out the builders choices as soon as they move in, so brand new stuff cheap! Even grills, lawn stuff, new clothes. It’s a great resource.
Nice.
Great that you are building an addition, because that rider will take up a lot of room and it might be a hassle to get in and out all the time.
Great idea for the John Deere. Very good.
Thank you.
I think you could have went with a wider door, a roll up door isn't too much. Also intake vents are normally installed on the side that gets the most shade after about noon.
You could put in a solar powered fan to help the air flow, and use some of that green fabric shade cloth to reduce the sunlight coming in the roof. You still have plenty of light, and much less heat, though you might have to replace it every few years.
I have that exact set of China. I bought it years and years ago at big lots when I worked there. Oh my goodness it is like 25 30 years old or older
Enjoyed. Going to be nice.
Could you enclose the addition? It would protect the lawnmower better and give you additional storage. You can never have too much storage.
At this point, I have no plans to enclose the roof.
My husband & I enjoyed this video. Nice job!! So just how long is your to-do list?!! Lol We're enjoying y'all taking us on your journey. Thank you!! 👍
I can’t wait till the projects are done! It’s getting close.👍
I love your new opening segment! I assume it's Leo endorsed & approved.
Just an FYI- when I start to search for your channel in the YT search bar, after I plunk in 'Live Simple, L' what comes up is 'Live Simple, LIFE free' not live free, but life free. It still brings up your channel and vids, as if I completely typed your channel's name (obviously correctly) so I don't know if it helps you get more views or not.
As for the doors, I like the roll door idea, but what about habitat for humanity or other recycle places that might have ER or Hospital Doors? Sturdy, have a wire-mesh window, would fit your tractor....
I have no idea why it would say Life Free. Our name is clearly Live Free. 😧
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree I know. I agree.
you are such an inspiration
You could paint the roof and leave a smaller skylight.
You are fighting 2 problems: greenhouse roof which provides great for daylight but which is impractical for a shed roof. It's too hot and will fade the contents of the shed. My advice is change it out with a plywood roof. Problem two: put a larger door on the shed so you will not have to put a lean to on the door or two doors that open out. Look for a used door. Keep that beautiful mower in the shed. Outside storage is not practical from a prepping standpoint.
I love the new intro! Nice. :)
Um, an open sided shed roof addition will keep it dry so long as the rain is coming straight down, so, gotta ask how you will protect from blowing rain? Or might you get a cover you can pop on the rider mower in the event of rain? Also, during the winter, how will you keep snow from blowing in? Or, do we just have to wait and see? :0( Oh, and it just occurred to me, once you have the back area under a roof providing some shade, you could also pop a vent or two into the bottom of the back wall and pull in some yet "cooler" air. Or was that the plan all along? Love to watch your projects ...... I get movitivated to do stuff. (I just made up that word by accident, but it sounds good.)
The mower is on the lee side of the shed, away from the direction of the rain. Not much will blow in.
I'd do the siding first. Also make your roof for the mower a bit larger to give more UV protection. The seat especially will suffer if you don't
The mower is completely under cover and gets very little sun.
If you ever happen to want to do water catchment, those two shed roofs will provide a significant amount of water and it might be easier to set up water catchment there than on the house. You will want to think about what happens to the ground where the water falls off the roof anyway.
Could you use reflective material, inside the shed, up by the roof during the summer months to reduce heat?
Yes, but that would block the light. These vents seem to be working quite well. 👍
If you look on OfferUp you could be able to find cheap French doors
Hi Bill, keep the Deere out of the direct elements if you can, it will serve you well for a long time! Great job on the new place!!
I’ve built a shed roof for it. The video about that is coming tomorrow. 😀👍
Is it safe to assume you aren't putting any windows in the shed. One by the door to open to create a cross draft from the vents. Things are looking good.
No. No windows. :-)
if the cool air breeze rises up the slope of the hill, then that's the right spot for the intake.
Yeah, like someone else said, wouldn't at least one wall help protect the mower from the weather... maybe a little shed of it's own. ..
the tyvek home wrap paper from dupont is that vapor barriar ?
Yes.
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree can i use one of those when insulating the side walls with fiber glass insualtion?
@@akanesoratobu8889 sure. It helps keep the moisture out. Just make sure that the vapor barrier is on the outside against the cold and the insulation is against the warm side.
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree got it thank you
Is there anything you can't do? If you build an open carport type structure for the tractor what happens in a snowstorm? Will the snow get blown in the wind and pile up inside?
Yes, that’s possible. But we don’t tend to have many big snow storms like that here in Virginia.
I was just wondering are you going to get some chickens great video take care
No. No animals. We travel too much, and also Elizabeth can't eat eggs, so there's no purpose.
Oh sorry to hear that I was just wondering.
So did the vents help?
Yes. It’s still hot, but at least there is circulation now.
Your going to find that having a lean too is going to be so useful make it bigger than you think you want though
Is there anything this Bill cannot do?? Elizabeth, if you don’t mind we are going to borrow him, lots needs doing here so he can bring his camera to vid and we promise to treat him well and bring him back to you🥰
Any future plans for a chicken coop? If so, I bet it'll be nice!
No, we have no plans for any animals.
Do you have to pay extra taxes.. when you add.. a shed on to your property.... And if you add pavement.. on.. 😊
If there was a side that stays shaded i would put those bottom vents on that side!!! Maybe cooler air all the time then maybe cover in winter with plastic or something.💞💞💞💞😸😸 love the idea of greenhouse sheetin for light!!! May do that on my shed!!!!
Just put another 1/2 a door in Or 3/4 and why build an small shed like that ????
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good job.
I love♥️these kind of projects.
Can't wait for the next. ☺️

How about an add on wood shed/That would also cover the lawnmower?
I’ll be putting a wood shed up closer to the house, but it won’t be big enough for the mower too.
But does hear rise??? I thought they needed to be up high?
They ARE up high. Two at the top and two at the bottom.
