Love that you guys do these 'man talk' videos. I'm a 85lb. 70yr. old grandma doing this postage stamp homesteading thing pretty much on my own. I learn so much from you guys and your wives as well. Then I just have to scale things down and find work arounds. So don't ever cut out or not film the fails. I glean the most info from them. Please ignore the push back from the masters of nothing. The days you just set the camera up and go do your thing are some of my favorites. By the way thanks for letting yourselves and families be vulnerable to the public scrutiny, it has to be tough. Blessings to all of you.
Very well said! Good luck to all your endeavours.
Shirley, me too!!
Thanks Shirley
Well said! ❤
AMEN!!
All three of you are stand-up gentlemen, hard working to take care of your families with healthy food and lifestyles.
Jason, are you saying if it weren’t for Lorraine you would not have anything to read? 😊
Grandpa had three milk cows. He was out at the barn by five am to milk, while granny fired up the wood burning stove, rolled out biscuits and started the bacon. By six am they were sitting down to bacon, eggs and biscuits every day. Then the milk went through the separator and the milk cans were filled for pick up and the extra milk and cream were put into the house for use. They drove to mass at the local church seven days a week. Then the daily chores were started. Feed the pigs in the pen, check the cattle on pasture, take care of the corn on the lower forty for feed, check hay fields as needed. This was a thousand acre farm (one third in timber crop) ran by the two of them. Granny had the garden for home vegetables, chicken coup, and collecting and dealing with the wild berries and nuts on the land. Blackberry, goose berry, walnut, and hickory. Weekends kids and grand kids pitched in. Down to bed shortly after dark once the cows were back in the barn.
Sounds like a wonderful life!!!
Dream life.
Also sound like a hard life. But they still must have liked it, because how would you keep that up if you didn’t
@@Norunormii It was a hard life. They married as teen immigrants from France and had a mess of kids to feed and it was hard scrabble for a long time. The house and barn were built off the land of rough sawn timber. They did not have indoor plumbing until the sixties. But they were wealthy for their area with that much acreage. They knew no other life. The whole valley was relatives or one other large French family. Everyone helped each other on the big projects so they had support. One fact was they did not even notice the Great Depression being about sixty miles or more south of St. Louis, as they had their own food and nothing much changed with their income. Maybe hog, cattle or milk prices dropped a little but they would not miss a meal. Pretty well insulated and self sufficient. As the kids moved away for High School or marriage they had enough to buy machinery and make the labor easier. And with rural electrification their later years were easier. The life was simple really. Work, church, and sleep. And I would guess some mattress fun with that many kids. Radio was big but I do not ever remember a TV since they were out of range for over the air signal. I do remember some various wines in the root cellar. Dandelion, cherry, and blackberry with likely some others. Just do not think they knew any better. I am sure he has some education as he read the bible daily but I doubt it went beyond local grade school. The kids had to move to St. Louis if they wanted more than eighth grade at the catholic school near home. Many of the boys did do that, though some of the older ones went to war underage.
I remember the folded flag on a shelf with more than one gold star from WWII
Could you three ask your wives if they could do a podcast like yours? It would be a good addition to the total homestead experience.
Getting their point of view about Their Projects would be wonderful!
I hate that y’all have to endure trolls! Those of us who are inspired my your builds should out rank the trolls. I appreciate the build fails as well as your successes! ❤❤❤
Agreed!
Just some thoughts... I grew up on a homestead back when homesteading was just trying to survive, not a choice. I love to watch all of your videos because they bring back some of the nostalgia and remind me of why that childhood was a MUCH better childhood than many of my peers had, and the majority of children have today. I would LOVE to see more just updates on how the garden's doing, garden tours or pests you're battling, updates on the orchard, the pigs, etc. I love watching Jason take us around and just watch the animals. I love the projects, but every video doesn't need to be a project. It can just be life. I LOVE to watch preparing the meals, but how about also just talking about things like taking store of what we have left from last year, what we need to plant more of next year, what things we grew that we didn't really care for so we won't grow again, etc. And don't let people's negative comments get to you... my father worked on cars for 50 years and could fix anything, but he still had armchair quarterbacks telling him how to play his game. Also, I agree with someone's comment that the failures are a VALUABLE thing for those people watching who are maybe wanting to homestead... a reminder that you don't have to have all the answers before you start, that you CAN find your way through things, that sometimes failure is going to come and that's OK, etc. Maybe you guys can help each other tackle some of those projects you've been putting off? My father used to have bees and we always had so many bees, much more honey than we could ever use. He'd give honey to my aunt for eggs and beef, to my uncle for pork. My aunt would trade beef to my uncle for pork, etc. We'd all go to my grandparents' house for fruit from the orchard. Having community and trading, helping each other... "many hands make light work" is a very old saying from hundreds of years ago, but I think it still applies just as much today.
I'm an 85 yr old Great Grandma and I love watching all 3 of your channels! My husband and I farmed from the day were married (in 1953) for 48 yrs until we sold our farm and spent the next 11 years traveling and "workamping" before settling in the country once more. All of your stories are so interesting and I never miss any of your videos if possible. Keep up the good job and stay happy and Blessed. Amazing how you all handle the daily problems and keep a smile on your faces. Little "Buggie" is a hoot!! Love, Love this podcast!!
Hi, Al, Ben, and Jason! These behind the scene podcasts are a great change of pace from the other videos. We get to know all of you better. Please keep them coming.
You are all great! I have watched Lumnah Acres since Al filled up 5 gal water bottles with his outside hot water and carried it to his chickens who were surrounded by hay to keep them warm. I say to all of you just film what you are doing. Don't try to get fancy. We all seem to love to just watching what you do and how you solve you life problems.
Yeah ! I agree, and maybe just make it clear that it ISN'T a "how to" , instruction video on bow to build something, step by step w plans or anything. Obviously, you'll apparently still get those critiques of where u put your screws, or worse. I myself would be HIGHLY tempted to shut of comments or never read them.. I can't imagine how hard this is ! But most of your actual fan-families I think will totally understand AND appreciate you just filming your day, putsing w materials and attempting to create something. If it doesn't work, hey - you may have just saved me an afternoon of trying the same thing ! Now I know what doesn't work, thanks !
You guys are real farmers now for sure!
"Hi, how are you?"
"Gives weather report..."
We love your time lapses Al
Thanks
Yes! I say film the start of the pasture work going over the why and the plans like you usually do. Then add a video here and there of the progress. It will show how long it takes and what hard work you put in.
When someone films a whole project in one episode it feeds to the Instant gratification entertainment culture we already have.
Stop caring what people think of how you did something. You are creators and you have many subscribers no matter how stupid you have been feeling when a few critise you. We watch because we enjoy your company, period. You make us comfortable. Maybe not all of us, but some people just should not matter to you. I just started watching Jason and Ben and thoroughly enjoy their families and videos. I started watching the Lumnahs when they got the goat Hope and have been there ever since no matter how dizzy I might get when one of them puts the camera on their face and then spins around thinking they are showing me the background behind them. You all are fun for us. Trust me in this. I am old and I know....
I think showing the workshops, whatever the animal being butchered, is so important! And you are teaching others how to do it. I grew up in the 50's and 60's helping to take care of animals, participating in whatever needed to be done. Kids tok need to learn where their food comes from, how it gets to the table. Keep it up.
600 gallons of rain water per 1000 square feet of roof per inch of rain. It's just a math equation to figure how many square feet you need for 110 gallons of rain water collection.
And how fast you want to collect the water 💦 just math 🧮
Thanks!
On the rain water it’s also flow ratio, so too much flow through the wrong size funnel it sheds out over edges. In the south it comes down so fast that your funnel size might be off.
Good thought
Jason, at least you have Randy for help. Also, go to a big box store and get a kitchen designer.plan.
A day in your lives is probably my favorite video to watch. It doesn't have to be complicated, it can be super simple. Seeing Zeke and Elvira thousands of times is perfectly ok. Keeping track of what Meg is cooking or canning never gets old. Just keep doing what you are doing and ignore the people that arent happy with something in their lives that has to interject into yours ❤
Thank you all for just sharing with all of us
We are Blessed by you all sharing and showing things.
❤
Really glad to hear Ben’s adding on…those boys are getting BIG!
@Hollar Homestead Maybe im wrong, but I think Ben's hesitation is wondering if the trailer's structure is strong enough to hold up a different roof line. The trailer roof is flat, and a pitched roof puts more outward pressure on the walls. One way around that is to do a metal structure around the front and back deck, trailer and the new addition. This could carry the load of a bigger roof encompassing the front and back decks, trailer, and new addition. I hope that makes sense. Kind of like a pole barn, built over it all, but using steel. Then its all anchored together under a strong structure.
Would love to see “Homestead Kitchen Talk Podcast” that details the garden, butchering, preserving, and cooking.
Good job guys! Another good talk on the books.👏👍💪
Much appreciated!
Ben, I'd like to see how Meg's bees are progressing next time you video
There is always something that will make you jump from one project to another. Weather, lack of supplies available, time, etc. I can completely understand. It can become overwhelming with several projects on the burner and not many completed. Those that have creative minds will always be coming up with new ideas for other things or the project currently in progress, while working on one. Especially being on undeveloped land, trying to figure out what to put where can add to being overwhelming.
I watch all of your channels. You guys are doing great! You are only human, do you and ignore the bad comments.
Ever day we search for the three of you because your stories are so endearing and full of real family life. Projects are always interesting and seeing all of your progress and meet goals is so fulfilling.
Hey my favorite homesteader’s…..we need episode with the wives and get woman’s perspectives
Yes please
Their wives are all great in the kitchen and managing their gardens. I'd love to listen their podcast.
That’s a great idea ❤
Maybe schedule them for an occasional podcast.
Yes! I’d love to see the wives “takeover” the podcast once in awhile. Hearing their perspectives on some of these topics as well
I'm loving watching you guys talk like this
Jason, you could move your kitchen appliances to the mud room while you’re remodeling the kitchen. That way Lorraine would have a semi-functional kitchen space.
Speak up Ben. Don’t be shy! Would love to hear more from you! You’ve got a lot going on by what I see so fill us in about your and Meghan’s dreams. Speak up Al. If not, Jason could handle this by himself.
Took the words out of my mouth, Al,.
You are doing it.
End of discussion. You three men are out there manifesting immaterial ideas into product of your own labor. The most practical and meaningful.
I've heard that it helps to have elephant skin to put up YT videos lol. It's hard I'm sure, to put yourself out there. Just know that 99% love you and dont care about boo boos, infact we love to get a chuckle about your mishaps, knowing that we couldn't do any better.
I love the time lapse videos! Looking back as a project comes together is interesting. Must just be me! Lol! So good to see you gentlemen. I am really enjoying these talks also! Take care!
I do too. It just makes good business sense. It also reaches way more nonsubscribers plus you get to use the same content twice. When I'm searching for projects I just want to get to the build and not get into daily, family life story. Those videos end up going viral in the long run.
Jason, our house was built in 1939, when we did kitchen remodel, i was so thankful for all our canned foods. Just did dump and go meals, heated up on our propane grill burner. My fridge was in our bedroom (closest to kitchen) for 4 months!
Took so long because of lead pipes, electric upgraded, new gas lines.. waiting on windows..
The things you aren't sure of how to do or you don't enjoy, ask a friend over to help, bring his family, then you have more hands, more ideas and fun!
loved your discussion about milk cows! Years ago, we bought a milk cow with our neighbors and they milked in the morning and we milked in the evening and shared if one of us wanted to go out of town or was sick or had other reasons to not be able to milk. Worked out great!
Yet another great one! QUESTION: Will your children pick up the baton when they are older OR is a different lifestyle in their thoughts? The children are so helpful to you and your spouses.....
PS…I keep having to remind myself that summer is what I dreamed of coming all last winter so I could work in my yard & my gardens, dit on my deck & drink coffee & enjoying the 3 chickens my neighbor & I share. Now, it’s too hot & buggy to sit on the deck, we’ve lost two of our hens to the heat & humidity & I catch myself dreaming of winter. Guess I’m a Spring & Autumn Grand & GREAT Grandma! 😂
End of the day , rite or wrong ,its my project and serves my purpose.
These podcasts are amazing, and I think you probably would have to admit that it’s nice to share with friends problems that arise ! It seems it can be therapeutic for you all. I’m old enough to be all of your mothers, so listen when I tell you - there will always be someone that thinks they know better than you, as I watch your videos,, you are the families that don’t just talk the talk, you actually WALK the WALK ! “some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths !,” may God keep you and bless you .
I think some people try to give information that is helpful to you guys. You may or may not want that information.
You guys are doing awesome!!!! Ignore haters, they gotta live inside their lonely lives and that’s sad. All you guys have families and people that love you!!!!
I miss your 4 days a week Ben, and Al’s 6 or 7 a week. I understand you have lives outside of videos, but it was fun while it lasted.
We call it "hey buddy" work.... Working together at each other's homes in trade for time. 1+1+1=5 manpower units! Multiple it by accountant partners... You're be unstoppable!
Have all three of you seen Heath’s (Red Poppy) ‘shop’. It has taken him 6 years to complete the ‘shop’ and ‘organise’ to present stage. Very interesting!! Don’t be so hard on yourselves. Love the three of you together.
I like watching butchering days different people do it various ways so it is educational to view the different ways to do it, especially since now days their is specialized equipment that can be used.
Love what you all are doing! Let’s us see you relaxed and laughing. Keep it up!
I love this podcast. ❤😮I
You're not just stirring ideas in your heads but in ours, too.
Ben, where do you intend on placing the addition for both the added bedrooms, as well as the deck???
I'm imagining your planning to put the deck up for the sliding glass door area. Can that be tied also to the added bedroom????
I can hardly wait.
You did such a great job on the total remodel/build. I'm sure this add-on will turn out fantastic, too. You are so good and thorough in all the work you do and have done. I can certainly understand the added consideration of enlarging the pantry area, as well. Currently, the kitchen area is just getting smaller and smaller due to all the items you have to store in there. Hanging items on the walls is very helpful, but I'm sure you're needing more shelf space, for all the canning that is occupying so much time from everyone, right now.🎉
I'm so anxious to see every bit of it.
All of you have great content, on your RUclips channels and I follow you all.
Thank you to all 3 of you for all you all do to bring us great
That's why I like watching because you are figuring things out as you go. And don't claim claim to be right. Those people probably don't know how to do anything for themselves. Keep up the good work.
Jason, you have a beautiful smile! ❤❤❤
All those know-it-alls who whine at you are not worth bothering about. They are jealous that you are getting stuff done.
I call those oopses "paying stupid tax" I've paid plenty.
Great video guys. Ben, nothing lazy about you, don't lett the negative comments get to you. Some people are just nasty.
Enjoying your podcasts! 👍🏻 On the topic of each podcast, perhaps ask YT watchers to comment on same subject. Like tonight’s was what projects are we putting on hold. Or what projects have we just completed or failed on.
If you’d asked, I would have said I finally figured out how to safely put a lightweight hook in the kitchen ceiling without the plasterboard crashing down! 😳😃
Meanwhile, Al. Your character is sooooo like my brother’s. (Mentioned this before). Same humour and kindness. May I ask (rhetorically), do you also have a sister who you relentlessly tease? 😂
Please, pay no mind to those that beat you up. Your content is very entertaining, humorous and wholesome. This shoptalk idea is fun, keep ‘‘em coming.😊
Thank GOD for all you guy's , your the future of the country, the one that will survive.
Al, plan a trip to go help Ben & Jason with Bens addition. I'd LOVE to see that. Go when you're weather is iky! Even better. Put Olivia in charge of feeding the animals. I'd love to see that one as well!❤❤ lol, Great video. BTW, haters, give it a rest. Us lovers are sick of you! Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister PRAYERS FOR YOU ALL 🙏🏻 ❤️ ♥️
I love this show I want you guys here on RUclips and then it's I'm driving I listen to your podcast because when I watch you I'm thinking about five hundred other things I need to be doing and when I'm listening to you I'm driving and I can concentrate more on what you're saying and I love all your just wish I had to steam to do it all
Could you all discuss the work and Prep involved with SETTING UP a homestead... VS .. The everyday actual homesteading itself once you've got everything in place.
Watching Al and Gina get all the basics in place.. that's just overwhelming. Once the basics are in place however...THEN things become a bit more easeful.
At any rate.. ignore the trolls... That you have the courage to even attempt this stuff.. that's just beautiful to watch. God Bless you All. 🙏
We, I enjoy your content and posting. Your filming is a job, and work that equals your income. I’m okay 👌 with your work high point or low and where you put the screw. It’s the job, community you’re doing and I get to see your progress. So thank you. Go out and do😎
P. S. Don’t forget to note on your home channel this new episode ✅
You guys rock! Love the shop talk! and the longer videos too! Seeing start to finish helps answer questions and things one might have missed!!!👍♥️
Thank you gents for sharing another aspect of what it means to be a successful homesteader. It shows us all that there is more than just weeding and feeding going on, but that real life has a habit of intervening. Thanks for taking the time out and talking about the woulda, shoulda and couldas. See you all on your next videos. Stay safe.
I'm ok with you guys making mistakes on camera. That way I learn too. And your all human
For cut a log wall, use a chainsaw. Just use a stud finder, or Walbot, to find out where the stabilizing spikes were put. You DO NOT want to hit a spike with the chainsaw...I speak from experience. Lol
Enjoy your podcast. I started watching Al from following Hope and her new home. Found Ben and Jason soon after. Enjoy all your daily adventures.
Yea!! No college! Way to go.
Ben, we had a friend back in the late 1970’s that built on to their mobile home and he passed away at the age of 33 from cancer. They were homesteading you might say back then but keeping their full time jobs as well. If I remember well he just built right up next to the back door of the mobile home and used that back door to go into like a hallway that lead into more larger bedrooms and laundry room with extra bath. I wished I could remember how he did it. I cannot remember how he did the roof but he almost had as much square footage as he did in the mobile. It was very nice and inside you couldn’t tell it wasn’t actually like a regular home. It flowed nicely as if a regular home. I know he did have a master suite bedroom with their own bath and they gave their children the actual bedrooms in the mobile but his children was quite young when he passed away. Good luck with your build.
I do have one thing to say to y'all .... make a sign that reads, "Only God is perfect, this is homestead good". How you construct something isn't a one way only path. Just like some who have to blast though rock to build a foundation, others are going to say, man a pick and shovel is all I needed...why did you go to that expense. Thanks for sharing your upcoming project ideas, I will be looking forward to watching them come to fruition. And to all those who are watching these fine men building a homestead for their families...cut them some slack, if you can't say something nice, don't say it. We all know hindsight is 20 20. Everyone, have a Blessed day.
Frame up the roof like you're putting both decks on...framing for a single metal roof. Once, and done...😎😘
You guys have lit a fire under my husband's butt. The addition and roof thing has been stalling, since 2016. Lol
I’m loving this channel I’ve watched Al for over 4 years and last year I found Jason,Ben and Justin in the same night watched all you’ve done in NC brilliant 👍💚
Always enjoy these! I would like to see more work parties- so much gets done and everyone enjoys it - sometimes it is daunting watching you all do so much by yourselves. I am surprised you pay so much attention to the critics when there are so many who really appreciate what you are doing- why waste your time trying to appease them- you never will!!! Just focus on US who respect you and appreciate the encouragement we get in listening to you being honest with your problems and working out solutions
I think you are all doing a great job and that’s why we watch you keep it up
Jason, you don’t want to do the back door now because it’s hot & buggy. In the winter it is cold & snowy. Will that be better? 😂. I’m an young 76 Y/O woman & love watching your regular shows & this podcast. You guys are waaaay too hard on yourselves though. Life happens, hang in there! 😊❤️
Ben I like it when you and Meg did the daily blog for 1monh
Jason, I’m feeling you in the back door. Our sliding door has broken and it has been nonfunctional except as a large window for over a year.
Ben, have a work party. Make your plans, buy supplies, then invite people over, tell them what you want, build and then eat together. Another idea is to look for a second single wide, join it up and have a double wide?
Ben. When building where a mobile home is involved
Build so that if the mobile home is not there what structure is left
So build an addition can stand on its own and attach to a future stick built home
Amen Al, you guys and your families are doing it! Everyone else is the peanut gallery! No one is perfect no matter what they think! I agree with Ben anything you put on a schedule at least gives you focus to see the things that are happening around you! ✅ Jason smiled really big when you mentioned that Al! Looking forward to seeing your projects come to fruition guys! Blessings and take care! 👍👍👍
Ben you are blessed with 4 big lads that can help you dig and build, be sure to involve them some.
Jayson on building the door on timber frame, you might want to build an internal frame to stabilize the wall first. Including a jack to hold roof up and stable. Loving this format, it's great hearing from all 3 of you at once
I'm glad I'm not the only person who puts projects. Really need to help my brother to fixing the pigs fences! There's nothing like the Kunes taking a walk about!
I used to have the same problem, being scattered and unsure as to what to do and when to do it. I don't film for RUclips so that's an element of the problem I can't address. However, I learned that sitting down, thinking all things through and putting pen to paper was the best way for me to get things done. Just start writing down, in any order, every project, idea and goals you want to reach. Then read over that list multiple times with your spouse. Start to prioritize and organize your list. Once you get that accomplished, put an estimated amount of time you believe it will take for each thing on your list. After that, start setting dates for when you plan to start each project and the date you believe you can complete said project. Add 2 days to the planned completion date. Add 10% to estimated costs, if any, for projects. Determine who can be available to help you if needed and put a schedule on a dedicated calendar for your "to-do" list. Pray about all things and be determined. The Father will lead you if you just take His Hand! I love watching the podcast and your respective channels!
Thanks !
“Project Paralyses” perfect description for my procrastination. I can envision a starting point but if I can’t see the ending it discourages me. Or I could just be lazy😅.
I love this podcast with my three favorite homestead guys. 🥰🥰🥰
I think filming the whole process is very interesting. I know RUclips doesn’t like it but this is help. Kids learn where their meat comes from.
Hey fellas - thank you for taking the time to record and upload your thoughts and challenges. I’ve been a subscriber to each of your channels for a few years. I honestly can’t understand how folks feel the need to put you all down for your efforts. Keep up the great work. Blessings.
We are enjoying this new channel!
Just wanted to say THANKS to you amazing Gentlemen. You are changing lives and bringing Awareness to the important topic of food quality.
I sure wish I had all this information earlier on. You are a true inspiration to many.
As for SHOWING the harvest process... I for one think that is extremely helpful. 👍
PS to Al... Just get Figaro to do an occasional cameo and you'll be famous. 🐈⬛️
I have a question for Al, and he can answer it as much as he wants. With the lumbering taking place on his 500 plus acres how much does the income from the lumber and pulp help out with the homestead? TY
You're probably right, it's a tiny little rain collection surface. If you get an inch of rain, with say a 4' x 4' surface, that's 1/12' deep x 4' x 4' which is just 1 1/3 cubic feet. A gallon is 0.13368 cubic feet, so if you divide that into the 1 1/3 you get the gallons, about 10 gallons. That's if you capture every bit of run off and the rain was really 1". A lot of the water that hits the surface splashes and doesn't get to the rain gutter. With such a small collection surface a lot of the splashes are going to hit the ground, not back onto the roof. Then there's the wind. If the wind is blowing the water off of the roof before it gets down the gutter, or if you have a free fall from the gutter which blows away you won't get hardly any water at all. Things to think about in a redesign. Might want short walls to keep rain from blowing off as much and have the spout sealed to a pipe that goes down into the collecting container. The surface could be soft to minimize the bounce. You can read about all this.
Silvio pasture. You can put your pigs into the woods. They root and stir up the grass seed. Then thin out the trees, and only keep the ones you want.
we enjoy it and who cares what you tube thinks. show it all
I can't believe you all have any haters . . . for crying out loud it's free entertainment, video on demand of real folks doing real work. You also inspire aimless folks to take hold of life and live it. Great work guys, cheers.
Al…your hilarious! Love your personality…love all 3 of you guys..like many of the other commenters it would be great to see the wives perspective’s on your new podcast every now and then. Blessings guys! 🙏
Good evening guys glad to see you.
Perfect topic that is on all of our minds. Keep it up boys! Thank you
Do a video of a making of a video. You guys are awesome! That’s a lot of hard work!!! 😮 I believe process is such a beautiful thing and needs to be respected and appreciated.
We appreciate all of your hard work guys! Thanks so much for making the massive effort to share with us :-)
Thanks for watching!
Ben should let his fans help with the cost of his build.
Great idea, Give, Send, Go for Buggies bedroom and More Meg's Pantry space. We certainly learn a ton from what Meg offers. Ben, maybe HIRE YOUR BIG BOYS TO BUILD? PART OF HOMESCHOOLING.
I just discovered today that the Hollars have Patreon. They never talk about it! That could be a good way to send a donation/show your support.
Ben, when you were talking about your home it reminded us of this young couple who do amazing work on homes like yours. Their channel is DIYfferent. Maybe he can help you with ideas for your addition. Hope this helps you out. GOD bless you all and thank you for being sooooo real. Love to all.
Yes, Doug @ DIYfferent really know trailers. They are stripping one right now from end to end & have done others in the past. Doug & Ashley say they love remodeling trailers. Maybe Doug would be a great guy to help you with how to build your deck & addition safely. He studies any project he is going to do from all angles and then chooses his best option.
Doug & Ashley are great people. Willing to help others, they drove to BOBBLEHEAD HOMESTEAD to physically work to help him get set up on his first property in Arkansas after leaving Chicago, ILL.
Maybe Jason could add a temp kitchen in the basement apartment.
Ben, could you build a carport above your trailer house then fill in the gaps?
Al, well, you're a machine!
Al! You have haters? How dare they make negative comments!
Hope you can ignore that.
Al, about the time laps. I enjoy the project summary at the end, or the year in review videos. A reminder that it really took days, weeks, months, to complete & you can link the original videos or Playlist of the project to encourage folks to revisit the how to's & don't happened.
Roof is to small for sure. Good idea though hope you get it figured out.
