    Well placed and level deck floor. Have to do the jig on floor to see if it will stand up. The dogs now have a place to crash and wait 'till the goats find out what a nice new hide out.The farm animals will love you for such a nice deck out of the hot sun.

    to make the peeling of the sauna tubes easier, next time, wipe or spray, some vegi oil on the inside, just before pouring the concrete. Also, a knotted wire brush helps to take the paper off that does stick. The addition is gonna be awesome!

    Greg the best thing for safely working with rotary tools is watch for loose clothing and hanging strings or ties. Just always work and prep for safety. 🙏🏼. Great you’re healing fast.

    Plastic on the ground with a little sand to hold it down keeps moisture down and stops potential rot and warms the floor.

    It's amazing to look at your building projects and know that 2 young people have accomplished it. Your skill set has grown from build to build. As usual I can't wait to see it done. I want to see the finished home. I'm very spoiled from watching cable TV where the complete finish is done in an hour. 😅 Not real life. Be safe heal up carefully. 🥹

    Hello Karie and Greg. He says he's not over doing it, but I would disagree, but it's not my injury. Your weeks seem like my days. Using screws for the shirting will make it easier to remove when the plywood needs to be replaced. Have good days!

    Glad to see you are healing well. It could have taken much longer and been more painful.
    Building is getting easier isn't it? Good progress and nice shade.
    I'm sure that when you ordered the new grinder you went for the M18 Fuel. Any of their rotating tools are best ordered in the Fuel line. There is a huge difference in the circular saw in the speed it runs at.
    Waiting for the next installment.
    Take care, have fun,

Katie you are marvellous there’s not too many ladies that would get stuck into building the sub floor and floor as you did you well done I bet you’ll be doing some stud walls next and standing them up before you get on with doing the roof. You are one in a million Greg is a very lucky man don’t let him forget that.😂😂😂😂😂😂 till the mid week video bye. ❤xx

    If you don't want to use a grinder anymore , maybe you could try out a handheld " Bandsaw " . It probably doesn't do some jobs a Grinder does but it can cut through Rebar pretty slick . Don't overdo the arm because even though you don't feel any pain , it could still be doing other damage ! Happy Trails from Eastern Canada to Western Canada . ✌ out .L8R

    Wasn't sure how big that addition would be by the looks of the cement pillars but as the video progressed it started to really
    look like something huge. That's where our imagination kicks in. Something from an idea in our brain brought forth into reality.
    How cool is that!!! So is this an enclosure or a normal roofed porch that you are building??? Only time will tell I guess. It did
    look very tidy as you were constructing it. Good on you guys!!! Me, southern AZ. (USA)

    If you coat the inside of the form with old motor oil with a soaked rag, removing forms is much easier. Oil will reject the water and gives a nice finish to the concrete at the form/concrete interface.

    If you have some angst about using an angle grinder based on wheel explosions and possible injury, try using the metal diamond impregnated blades for metal cutting. They are a little slower but won't explode. They also last 50 times longer.

    Greg, don't give up on angle grinders they are one of the most versatile machines you can have. Go get a new one, but leave the guard and handle on it and you'll be fine.
    A suggestion as to what happened might be that as mentioned below, loose clothing wass a problem, but also look after the wheels, particularly the fine cutting discs, don't just drop the grinder on the ground when you're finished cutting, let it run down to a stop and place it carefully. Dropping the grinder on it's disc can crack it and when you go to use it, it can explode (I think that's what happened, no?) or when cutting try keep the disc cutting in a straight line, don't twist it, that can make the disc shatter too. Good luck buddy, glad to hear you're on the mend and take care .. we want to see many more episodes from you guys, you're my favorite off-gridders.
    Cheers TJ

    Hi Katie and Greg. It's good to see that Greg is healing very quickly and having no problems. As long as he continues to not overdo it, he should be 100% in a few weeks. You guys made good progress getting it framed up and the subfloor attached. I smiled when I saw you at the 16:30 mark. I am also left handed and learned to do everything right handed first - as a result I'm also ambidextrous like you 😉 It's a joy watching you when you switch hands to drive a nail etc because it reminds me of how I frustrated my father when I would do it and make things easier, while he had to strugle with only being able to do things with one hand 🤪. Have a productive week, be safe, and I'll see you both on the next one. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
