You have a wonderful personality, and I love your sense of humor. I'm so glad to have stumbled across your channel and am excited to see where you go on your road trips.

@@davidmrule I agree with you, wise choice. I just found you today & am watching all your videos, you are an inspiration. Of course I subscribed & hit notification bell. I was thinking, it could be cool to have a fold down counter on the outside under each window, for various purposes. Maybe even a little fold down table on the inside of your upper hatch of your door or at least a stashable little folding table, for your laptop. It will be fun to see what piece of land you end up getting & what you will do on it. It would be cool if it had an old fixer upper cabin on it, would make for great ongoing content.

Double Dutch doors originated in the Netherlands in the 17th century. They were used in the farmlands and were designed to keep animals out, children inside and let in fresh air and natural light. Eventually Dutch settlers brought the style to the U.S. I'm Dutch and never heard of those doors and went to Google it out of interest. I leave it here for anyone that's interested.

He did get over 8 Million Views on just one part of his Tiny Home Build Time Lapse. He said the ad revenue paid for his Tiny Home's full cost. It looks like he has the formula figured out.
