    I'm so sorry to hear about Clyde. He was my favorite out of all your dogs. He loved his life! He loved to wander & explore. He always knew you'd come find him. You & Steve are beautiful people for taking in the seniors that most wouldn't. I'll miss all his barking & howling. My condolences to you, Steve & the rest of the pack ❤ 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

    Another wonderful Sunday morning with Michelle!
    I'm a little hesitant to admit that I have 140+ subscriptions on RUclips. Michygoss is at the very top. My absolute favorite! The sound of your voice has a very calming effect, especially when you do the voice-overs.
    Thank you for sharing a bit of your world with us every Sunday morning Michelle. You're an amazing woman. 🍁❤🍁

    LOL, I did the same thing in the mid 80's with a piece of a crate wood. I worked at a motorcycle dealership which sold Yamaha and Honda motorcycles from Japan, and one piece of the crate smelt so good I had to taste it. My co worker yelled at me and said don't do that the crates are probably sprayed with pesticides. LOL

    I bet, but could be wrong, that we’ll see more of Steve now that his back is better. One caveat though, you’ll need to get a tv and stream Hogan’s Hero’s.
    Almost lost it when he asked you not to burn the house down. Too funny!!😂

Maybe it’s not right for some but it’s your way and that’s what great about you doing it your way. Good seeing a flash of Steve and him giving you his wisdom of don’t burn the house down. Lol. Thanks for sharing your adventures

We had to say goodbye to our Henley, nearly 15 yr old working Cocker Spaniel two weeks ago and it is absolutely gut wrenching, my wife and I were distraught and would burst into tears thinking about him. We feel your pain and hope that it passes soon, love and hugs to you and Steve from UK.

    I watched this as the sun rose in background here in Minnesota. You my lady inspire me to go get my projects finished . Clyde is hanging out with my tuffy . It's been almost 50 yrs next . You never forget all the memories. Your fort is comin along fine . I built 4 mini homes for the homless this past summer . Temps are dropping fast indian summer is over . I m stuck on how to saftey heat them. Staying dry out of wind helps but some warmth is a blessing . Lil children are amongst the homless to no fault of their own . Inspiration

    That's more than a fort; it's a fortress; all the boards are thick. It's lookin' good. If it were me, I'd kind of wish I had gone bigger, maybe another cabin. It looks like it might be done just in time for the snowfall.

      I chose that size simply because the slabs and scraps I had were 16’ long, so cutting them in half gave me all my subfloor material, and my slabs material. (Not all the slabs, but a lot of them)

    Hey Michygoss,
    You see how easy it got after you put the floor and the roof on first.
    This is exactly how my husband and I built our house. Everybody thought it was a platform of a stage until we got it finished with the walls and the windows.
    You simply amaze me with your building ability.

    Paint stripping tip, I always start with a heat gun and putty knife which gets the bulk of it off and no goopy mess to deal with at that point. Then use the chemicals and course steel wool/scraper.

    Hi Michelle, your humorous comments/actions are always welcome in your videos, and today I laughed out loud when you reached into your pocket for some screws, and had a handful of dogs treats too, and you said screws or dog treats...that is one of the many things I enjoy about watching you. When I saw 71K views, I was trying to imagine a stadium with 71K people in it, and believe so many of us enjoy your tenacity, the way you share your thought pro-cesses when doing things, your ability to do so many things that a lot of women don't have the interest/knowledge in doing, and your caringness that comes through loud and clear! You and Steve are blessed to have each other, and I can only imagine how possibly Steve's life in that environment might be a whole lot more difficult, if you didn't possess the ability/skills to do so many of the things you do, that some might consider men's work, to continuously help and improve things around the property. I'm curious about the game plan/timeframe for getting the boat over this way? Irish Spring; "manly yes, but Michelle likes it too"! You all stay safe, and "clean as a whistle"!😘😘

  • @couerl
    @couerl 22 дня назад +1

    You got a lot done. I might consider roughly framing in a small bed or couch (like an RV) with 3-4" strips and a cabinet or counter space while you still have the open access. After the walls and doors and windows are all up it can be a more challenging workspace to navigate, especially in a smaller space. A little wood stove in there will be cool, but it will also get hot and dry quick I bet. Keep a pot of water going with the wood stove on so you don't dry the interior out too much while the exterior is wet.. This will help to keep the wood from checking over time. FWIW I kind of liked the green door and would probably just have painted some flowers on it. :p
