What a beautiful video. I’m so happy for your family. All you hard work is simply humbling. I was smiling throughout the entire video . The landscape of winter is so majestic. I’d have to commend you on the ending . Music was inspiring along with the visuals of fire burning in the winter backdrop. I’m just in awe of your journey .God bless your family .🙏🏽

The rectangular carpenter's pencils don't freeze and don't roll away when you set them down. Sharpen them with the small blade (pen blade) on your pocket knife.
@robertjones7023 3 жыл бұрын
Fun fact: Carpenters pencils are also used as measurement short cuts, ¼ inch thick x ½ inch wide. I once watched a documentary on carpenters pencils... Don't ask.

After Hurricane Katrina. I arrived home to find that there had been 18 inches of sewer water in the house. My home was under insured so I learned and bout 20 giant totes and a how to book at the Home Depot and met a dear man who had purchased a chain saw and needed work. I used fiberglass tape on the sheetrock seams and learned at 60 how to tape and float it. I learned that when it is dried a bit to use a damp large sponge to smooth it instead of sandpaper. Less dust for my Asthma. I also was advised to get the sheetrock coated with fiberglass instead of paper which is food for termites. I was also saved from Chinese Drywall which in Louisiana destroyed copper pipes. The Lord protected me from the crooks as I worked as a civilian at the police dept and saw many folks cheated. I am loving your channel and watching your family. Blessings to you and yours.

You need to get yourself a snowmobile suit. They are AMAZING in the bitter cold... I practically lived in mine, in Michigan. Don't have a ton of use for it here in Tennessee..thank The Lord!, but it's nice for getting used to sudden dips in temperature before the Winter sets in.

You could take those piles and mix it with your sheep poop/nearby farms manure in one spot, and turn it into great material for your garden next year with a tarp over it. Would maybe take a day moving your piles and if you get your poop delivered no time at all to get it going 😅 Better than burning valuable nutrients given your soil is very hard and pale.

One of the most important lessons in life to learn is that everything is temporary...including life itself. So difficult times, bad weather, slowed progress, or having to live under difficult conditions is all temporary. It lasts only for a while until you find a way to overcome the problems or until something changes. So when you find yourself in a status that you aren't too happy about, just go with it and make the best of it as you work to overcome it. It truly wouldn't be all that bad to just "hunker down" for the winter months and take a bit of break from your constant construction. I understand that needs to happen after the bath is done but that will happen soon enough. Please give some though to relaxing by a warm fire, helping the kids with home school, and maybe doing something you enjoy during the indoors time you will be spending together during the winter. I have confidence you will be 100% better off come spring!

Getting so close! I noticed that the taping mud was actually too firm, try stirring in a little bit of water, in the tappers box and it will flow much easier! And they carry 20minute mud for quick projects: which is easier most of the time, but it really means 20minutes of work time. And then you can apply another coat. Another tip if you use a tapping sponge, you can feather the edges, as well as smoothing, without the worry of the dust. Keep up the good work God bless amen.
