    Spencer, just a suggestion, whenever you’re going to climb the ladder to the roof & carry heavy items up, extend the ladder so that it is about 3 feet higher than the roof. This will allow you to hold onto the ladder and still step onto the roof while carrying the load.

    Hi Spencer, nice work. For a DIYer you've taught yourself a lot and much respect to your problem solving attitude. I thought of a couple things that might make your life easier in the future. In times where you have to install a heavy overhead item like that bump out box you could lay 2x4s perpendicular to the box wider than the box and push it up with the load control poles you already have, that way the box won't fall through and the wood should push the edge of the box flush with the ceiling. Next time you need to move lots of stuff onto a higher surface like the roof of the container you could put all your tools and machinery inside the bucket of your tractor and use the hydraulics to lift it to the same height as the roof deck.

    The way you transition into your closing music is so smooth. I’ve watched enough videos that I can tell the video is coming to an end when I hear the subtle change. I don’t know if you edit that or not, but it’s a nice touch. Love your videos, good luck with the cabin and feel better!

    Spencer, next time you are putting a box like that through the roof, weld some tabs to the lowest part of the box. Make the tabs from 1" pieces of angle iron. That makes the tabs "L" shaped and they will not only keep the box from going too far into the hole but give you a little extra to weld to the roof.

    I love watching how you guys work and troubleshoot. You always persevere and that’s the goal. When the bump out nearly fell through he could’ve said “my heart stopped!” Because mine did. But also, my butt puckered at the same time. 🤷‍♀️ Sooo, I think the response was an honest one. 😆
    Kensi, during my pregnancies I had to sleep propped up. Developing cough with compromised lung capacity required it. I was blessed to have a very comfortable recliner with my first and a very comfortable sectional with a chaise lounge with the last two. I now have an electrical lift bed that I wish I would’ve had back then. God bless and keep you all!!

    Best for your cough and kids can take it too is chop up an onion and add 4 tablespoons honey. Let it stand for a while it will draw a syrup and drink that syrup as cough syrup 3 to 4 times a day. To help when u have a bout of coughing swallow quarter teaspoon coconut oil it soothes the scratch in your throat. Hope u get well soon and nobody else gets sick❤

    Hey Mackenzie, try boiling some fresh Thyme leaves in a good size pot of water. When the water takes on the color of the leaves (greenish-brown - takes about 45 mins), put a load of honey into a Thermos and strain the Thyme water into the thermos.
    Drink sips throughout the day - this stuff is magical. My local Wholefoods and even Publix has the fresh Thyme. Give it a try - all my friends love it!

    Kenzie... chop up an onion, put it in a gallon zip lock bag, put your foot in the bag with the onion, zip it tight around your leg (as tight as it will go). Then throw on some socks to keep the baggies on your feet, then go to bed... I was told about this to help with coughs and it works so well!! It sounds kinda dumb, I know... but it works. Hopefully you can get some relief soon. Works for children too, if they need relief.

    I'm chuckling over the image of Mackenzie trying all the suggested cures for her cough and imagining the reaction from the children. "Can we try some too, mummy?" Here is an extra suggestion that helps me: a mucus clearance device. You blow into it and it creates gentle pressure vibrations in your lungs. They help remove the irritating mucus.
    Whatever you try, hopefully you will feel better soon.

    For coughing - if you can’t use an inhaler to open your air passage way - don’t know if you can take an antihistamine since you’re pregnant because that would help relieve the draining down the back of your throat when you’re laying down - some say eat a couple marshmallows before you go to bed and that’ll stop the coughing. Also good luck. Hope you feel better soon.

    Have you thought about adding a piece of 2x2 angle iron in the ceiling from side wall to side wall to support the roof at the AC units?
    If you had put a hand full of self drilling screws through the AC box from the inside they would keep the box from falling through the hole...once it was tacked in place, just remove the screws and weld the holes shut as you pass by them. Or just screw a piece of angle to each end as a temporary foot to keep it at the height you want and keep it from falling through.
    Also, not sure how many devices your putting in the electric box at the pocket door, but you have WAY to many cables in that shallow box...put a large 2-gang (or even a 3-gang) box with a blank finish plate on it in the ceiling as a junction box and only take one cable down for each device...you'll be happy you made this change.

    Looks great. You do really move work. Hmm, have you considered just temporarily welding metal tabs around the opening that would keep the box from falling in and allow it to line up perfect with the metal roof. Then just drop the box into the hold and weld enough of it in place to secure. Then inside and cut away the metal tabs. Then finish off the welding above. A lot easier than the floor to ceiling braces.

    As I stated before, 35 yr. member of union iromworkers. If you had a piece of 2X2X1/4 " angle iron and placed it between the roof joist under the jack, that would have leveled out the roof for you to weld in the new roof poop up without the flex since you already have the jacks. Same for the sides. Dont't go lower than 1/4 " thickness, to much flex. 3X3X1/4" gives more play room for the jack stand. We are only talking like 3 feet Max anyway. Something you can use over and over again, even if you have to just tack them up. Matabo them off. Buy the way, why are you not using a Matabo as your cutting tool. All we every use in ironwork, smaller, will hold a 6 inch blade and you can cut smaller circles with it. Not as cumbersome as the big grinder you have and a lot lighter. I have one at home and would not use anything but a Matabo. FYI !!!!

      Glad to see you switched to a Miller wire welder for flux-core. As a union ironworker, the only welders we used were Miller or Lincoln welders. So much smother.

    The best way to dress is in layers in the winter... You can save energy by keeping it cooler inside, and add or remove layers as you work and get hot, or add a layer as you sit and get colder. It beats being uncomfortable or trying to stay comfortable with a thermostat. Older military cargo planes have miles of unused wire in them, because when we wired a new system, we just cut the old wires if we couldn't use them and ran the new wire. Saved time, and often removing the old wire was impossible without major modifications. (I'm suggesting leaving the old wire alone and run the new one.)

    I enjoy hot water with lime, honey and ginger for any cough or sniffle. I usually slice the fresh ginger in my hot pot coffee press, then after it steeps, pour it in my cup with fresh squeezed lime and honey. Great for sore throats too. I also use menthol rub on my chest, sore muscles, nose, etc.. love the stuff.

    1:40 Dr. Oz had an episode discussing Neti Pots (nasal & sinus irrigation with saline solution or probiotics) and I tried it with just a sport water bottle. I'm not offering medical advice, just passing on advice from an actual Dr. I learned it from, and it works great!! It's weird at first, to be sure, but oh, so worth it, and there's no harm as it's like swimming in the ocean. My dentist always had us swish with salt water too, after dental work, because it's so healing. Especially when preggers! Also, they sell foam wedges (recliner works too) to keep your head elevated while you sleep.

      Neti-pots are awesome! Since I started using them, I haven’t had a sinus infection in years. My seasonal allergies and colds almost always turned into sinus infections before. I start out with the neti pot when I first feel it coming on to rinse my throat, then once it gets into my nasal area, I switch to the squirt bottle. I also found that if I squirt it up there, then bend over and put my head between my legs for about 30 seconds, then slowly stand back up straight, and blow it out, it clears out my upper sinus cavities which is where I always got infections.

    Spencer, I have seen you climb that ladder so many times and each time I ask myself, "why doesn't he extend the ladder higher and make it easier on himself?" Seriously, extend the ladder a few more rungs. This is easier and safer. It gives you something to hold on to getting on and off the roof.

    One thing to consider at this stage of the build, security. Build a shutter system to secure your windows from vandalism and entry by building boxes similar to the boxes on the roof. Make them removable for when you are there and then locked down when not. May find some ideas from hurricane country on how they protect from damage and looting. Love the build.

    Kenzie is showing a lot more now. Build a tall 4 to 6ft table for the welder, or get a 10 to 15 ft hd welder extension cable. At least the two a/c bumps are installed before the rain.

    I just decided what you two builders need . You need one or two thousand "Lego Blocks" . That will be sooooo much fun . You can make a scale model of your farm and then put the whole thing inside a nice clear plastic case . That will look so neet !
