My first SOLO cabin build! Join me for the fun, food, fire, and HARD WORK as I build a remote, off-grid, A-Frame cabin in 23 days. My building site was only accessible by ATV and while building I lived in a tent. My trusty dog Maysie/Daisy, an 8 year-old collie, was my only help and companion. (AKA Da WOOF!)
Was it worth it?
Oh yeah. AND I got Rumours on the record player.

I love that you do not edit out your errors, missteps or the other little occurrences that come with such a project. It would be so easy to put out an edited "See, wasn't that easy" video, rather than a realistic example of just how projects go sometimes. No matter how well planned your probably going to ride the struggle bus here and there. Great content.

I was a rigger. Your door problem is because the lift point has to be directly above the door or back some from the front point. As you lift the door higher with your system, your pulling it forward not vertical. Two poles mounted into deck with cross beam above it would work and eliminate the poles in the view. I used to fabricate equipment etc. I do everything twice was one motto

Actually I do know at great deal about it. I know it's as a symbol with a number of meanings, depending on the region and time period, far older than the later gnostics (before and after Jesus came) and other religions in that area co-opted it and used it to hide behind at certain points. Somewhat like "accepted" organizations, clubs, etc. today hide behind claiming one religion, but actually behind close doors have the same old gnostic rites and beliefs that never really left. The inverted symbol conflated with a goat is fairly new in the historical record and traced back to a particular artist during the medieval reign of the roman church, who combined various concepts as part of a larger body of work at the time. Later people snagged it to use in newer groups. Early Christians in some regions once used the original five pointed star also, (five wounds of Christ) but the fish symbol, which had many meanings at the time, some tied to other religions, is the only one that suited the people who had control over all education, artifacts, ancient texts, and unfortunately all believers chose to write about. They were the new greco/roman face hiding behind Jesus but whose actions were the same as always. I'm not wiccan and do not worship satan. Evil doesn't own anything, not stars, colors, shapes, even itself. I worship no created being, thing or institution, that includes humans; nor do I accept in any way, shape or form another created being's control, judgment or interference with my faith in the Creator. My relationship with Jesus is not up for debate, I only pray to God and concern myself with what God thinks. I understand concern and deeply appreciate true concern, but it's misplaced and unwarranted with the star and my personal choices. If someone is playing God, then that's for God to deal with.

@@aevalk8369 Deception comes in many forms, hence the Bible teaches discernment. The coming if Christ to the earth wasn't the beginning of Chrtianity, it is the fulfilment thereof. Anything and everything that is not of God is of the devil/evil. There are no shadows in God , as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Symbolism is the downfall of those who choose to try to explain their understanding and knowledge that only reveals the opposite. These are 2 totally different concepts:Praying to God, and living with Jesus as your personal Saviour and Lord, as explained by Jesus to Nicodemus in John chapter 3. I pray you too will accept this most glorious gift from God the Father of His Only begotten beloved Son Jesus and the out pouring of the Comforter the Holy Spirit the manifest power of God on earth. The anointing will break the yoke of darkness and deception and sets all captives free. It is , of course, your choice, as to whom you will serve.....be it God or not. My only hope is all humanity chooses God and thus a transformed life in the Spirit for now and eternity. 🤗💞🙏🤗✝️
