I too am a made in Canada Tilley hat man. I lost one on a bar room floor in Hanoi. I too use dish soap to wash my Tilley. They clean up really nicely. I don’t let it get too grungy before cleaning. I've never scrubbed too much, just gentle mushing around and rinsing. Currently I have two Tilley hats. One white and one brown similar to yours. 😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Yes, pull out the plastic shape holder to clean

That was great! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Non-morning person...Best way to get going is a mug of coffee while sitting with the sun...kinda like a lizard on a rock...😂

Ha I have similar hat. It looks like a Tilly

Cool Dude! I'm hoping to begin similar in a few moons. However, frostline is 5 feet so, ughh, much more foundation work. I may follow Boss of the Swamp advice for that.

Hi Don, Cathy here from Surprise AZ. Hope you are doing well. Sorry to hear about all the storms in your area. I can only feel your frustration to get the roof on. Thinking of you every time it rains.😢..❤

Hey Don how is this holding up after 2 years?

John 3:16

How are the Paulownia trees.

Rocky road! 🍦

He’s Sure not afraid of hard work.

Great job Don! I so proud of you!

Great job!

The humming bird in the background at the end of the video was pretty nice catch. Enjoying the videos. I have aplace in the west Texas desert and been working on it a little at a time as its 8 hours from my home. I like to call it a little better than a tent. :)

That's pretty cool. I really want to do a vaulted ceiling for my build, so I'm debating doing a stick-built roof versus something like a scissor truss.

Hello Don is there an email I can write you on

I’m curious if you have taken any precautions to protect your new building against possible fires. I’m starting my build in a few months and I am trying to decide on a foundation like yours or a slab and also siding options. Natural builds are great but take forever and like you I’m building mostly alone. I’m also near Palominas. Your an inspiration. I’ve followed from the beginning and watch how you do everything carefully. It helps me feel like if Don can do it then so can I :) The fires really really scare me though.

🙌 Can’t wait to sit in your living room one day, and admire the beautiful views. 😊

Don, you are an inspiration to all us old people out there Thanks for showing us how it's done correctly.

I love seeing your house progress and your kind face. Keep up the great work!

Love all those level bubbles. Those window frames are square, level and plumb, and wow what a view they frame!

you were having trouble cutting the rebar because the bar was sagging and pitching the blade. If you were to move it to the end to cut the bar will fall away from the blade instead of pitching it 😁

Love your videos and kudos to you for your getting it done work ethic! This is not the way I understand about how to place the header. I thought it needed to be longer than the window and resting on posts on either side of the window frame. Seems to me that the way you’ve done it, the window framing will be supporting the roof.

It's almost painful to watch you try to move those trusses by yourself. I'm glad you didn't break your butt. Do you often see snakes?

Your methods are excruciatingly painful to watch. You're obviously getting the job done but, Lordy...! Maybe watch a few more framing videos on UA-cam?

Your views will be magnificent!

14:23 lightning in the clouds. Storm coming

Let's get Don a small 🛻 pickup truck. He could really use it.

Cutting with the circular saw "above your head" not a good plan.

Don I liked the way you constructed your window frames. Makes it easier for you to do it by yourself. My father was a contractor and my mother and I would help when ever we could. At 50 I went to trade school and have a diploma in carpentry so I love watching building your big house. I wanted to tell you something that my mother had my dad do in every house he built. On either side of the header above the window she would have my dad and a board the width of the header so that when the owner was ready to hang curtains there would be a board to attach the rods too. Much better than just the paneling or Sheetrock to hang from. Love the views from your windows!!!

It's always a good day when I see your video in my feed. 🇨🇦

Never seen windows framed this way on a new build, byt totally makes sense if you wanted to pick where they went after the walls were framed up. Great work! Loved seeing the lightning in the distance. I think the thunderstorms are one of the things i miss most from living in AZ... and the sun haha.

Those are definitely "picture windows" you've installed my friend! ... with the beauty of nature your changing image within! 😍

Beautiful views

Thank you for collecting and sharing this info.

You are going to have the best views

I like your hat! The Roof should be first, protect your floors. Don cover the big House, then you can take your time with all the rest!

Your view through the window frame was beautiful! as you say 'looked like a painting'. (minute 14:40)....I enjoy your videos, quite an accomplishment to be building your own home.🌵💚

Hey Dom... since you like to save money use "Titebond Wood Glue" next time. it has been used for years never a problem. Gorilla glue about 5 dollars more same amount.

Great work! It looks great.

❤❤❤

Looking great Don, you definatly are a man of detail

Bravo on the method of framing your windows! I have a gorilla cart! Love it. However, l got tired of the pneumatic wheels going flat, so l ordered solid rubber ones. Cheers. Have a blessed week.

I might place windows so while sitting, I see the view. Yours seem to be placed while standing, you see the view.

Hi Don l am loving the work you are doing on your home it’s truly beautiful there keep the videos coming , how lovely it would be to sit on that porch and watch the sunset. Have an awesome summer. It is cold here in Johannesburg

Nice Don you doing good job alot better than what i did on my shack and my shed only two things i have put together

Cripples under the ends of the window sill plates. Hopefully the scraps you cut out can make these cripples.

It's a valid way to do it. Reminiscent of cutting in a window after the wall has been in place for a few years... But easier. And it gets the result you want.
