Karen, you are a joy to watch. I like the variety and your relaxing voice is also appreciated. You will hit 100k in no time. Just keep doing what you're doing! Oh, please don't ever let success change you. I had to drop a popular gardening channel last year. I just couldn't watch the monetary waste and "gardening " projects that were so incredibly expensive it seemed decadent and unrelatable. Thankfully they at least stopped opening gifts from viewers they didn't need or seem to appreciate, as most were donated anyway. They were sure to mention viewers could still send gifts, but they wouldn't show videos ... talk about a "rabbit hole"... I admire you work ethic and that you enjoy nice things but are not above wearing thrifted items and even Target! Your appreciation for your career and audience, among other things, makes you a great business role model!❤... now we also have a wedding to look forward to! Thank you for offering great, honest advice and thrifting tips!

I met a lady who was an Amazon reviewer. She said all was good but in the tiny print, you get a tax form at the end of the year for the retail amount of all the “free” items you review. She was in debt about $2500 for the tax she had to pay on it.

Oh you are probably getting tired of this Canadian carpenter offering his two cents. Acclimating the wood is just getting everything on the same page. If you dont acclimate your material or wood you can get gaps and pressure points. A lot of contractors don’t practice this but your contractor is TOP NOTCH! Actually they are so particular and professional it’s a treat to see their work. They keep the site clean, they exceed the codes and they truly care about their work. There is no way they are the cheapest contractor but I cant imagine there are too many contractors as good as they are.

For the hammock you can put 2- 4x4’s with hooks in the ground. Works nicely and looks nice if you stain and seal the wood. You could even put fence post caps on the top and really finish it off nicely.

Rope hammocks are WONDERFULLY comfortable!! I have a metal stand in Satsuma, FL that you can have if you can get it to PA, but it also needs to be sanded and painted or powder coated. Surely would not be worth it for you. I do however highly recommend a rope hammock. Think they were first made in Pawley's Island, SC On another note, I feel your pain seeing all of that good lumber hauled off for disposal but you are doing the right thing. We did a major remodel and addition and I couldn't bear to see the scraps of new lumber go into the dumpster so I saved much of it outside under the 4 foot eaves, up on leftover bricks so it stayed dry. We've used a few pieces and burned quite a bit in the outdoor fireplace but now have to slowly get it out with the trash 🙃 OMG!! Just looked back and heard you say that the hammock was $15!! You probably could have done very well with that on FB Marketplace

Strawbridge and Clothier was a mid to upper end quality store. Base store was at 8th and Market in Philadelphia. It was owned by the Strawbridge family who are Quakers and so very nice. They lived in the Philadelphia area. That box you found looks like it is one of their boxes from the 80’s. In the very early 80’s when the USA opened trade with China, Strawbridge’s had a huge display of items from China. I bought 4 water colors on silk for $45 (it cost $400 to have framed). I bring this up because the piece you bought in that box may have come from that time and display.
