I got a little emo at the end there, Matt. I had a similar life event with our first house that my kids came home to from the hospital. My oldest was 18 when we sold it. We had a closet door that we measured the kids on the inside as they grew. On my last walk through I saw it, went out to my truck, got a hammer and screw driver, took it off the hinges and took it with me to our new house. I installed a new door for the new owner. 😊

That is truly one tough birdfeeder. Survived the felling of the tree, a run through the sawmill and now the transport to it's new home. Great fun to see it hanging from the forklift.

Man! To think I watched you saw and stack virtually every one of those slabs in the years gone by! I don't know if you intended it as such, but this video is a testimony to where perseverance, hard work, and a great deal of bloody-mindedness can get you. I remember how so many times in years gone by we guys would badger you about handling all those back-breaking slabs by hand... Now look at you! A forklift with every load shifting, fork spreading option on it except a washroom and the kitchen sink! A telehandler that can unload a truck box with at trailer still attached, or unload at the back of the field while parked at the front! lol! and then your serious, direct culmination clip at the end... Cripes, Matt, you nearly sprung me a leak! Stop it! Dammit! ;-) A stellar video. I enjoyed all 40 minutes of it! Congrats, Matt & Lindsey, on the all of it! I hope your new home brings you even more joy and satisfaction as the first one did...

I am so jealous watching you as you move to the next big phase of your life. I have my own shop I started when I was young. I am now at the stage of my life where I am thinking of clearing out the equipment. However, I have a large building that needs maintenance, a huge pile of steel, and a woodlot. So, of course I am building a sawmill. The saw head is nearly finished. I have to build the track next. I have been inspired by the build of your mill. Mine is not as pretty as yours. I am using the steel I have on hand. I can't wait to see what you present to us next.

All the best Matt with the move. I moved about 19 times during my lifetime of 55 years, which included moving between provinces here in South Africa, so I can relate to the stress of moving. I reckon moving is much more stressful than getting married. I enjoyed getting married. I hate moving. Looking forward to more videos of the new place. I like to see people prospering and moving up.

I learned 2 things about future forklift purchases... Buy one that has an automatic for width adjustment and buy one that can move the forks sideways. Congrats on the move Matt and Lindsey!!! It has been exciting to follow you up to this point and see your business and family grow. It will be awesome to see what you do with your new homestead.

@jpkalishek4586 3 жыл бұрын

use one without side shift and you learn to hate a lot of people who have side shift ("I'll just shift this over behind this pole and give us a bit more space to pack something right next to it") and stacking stuff on uneven surfaces is about impossible. Width adjustment is nice, but does block your view of the forks, so there are some uses that it is not necessary, but over all and for Matt's kind of use, definitely a nice addition.
