    It's not a mistake. It's a feature.

    I love your videos. It doesn't matter if you're blacksmithing, building a home, or scooting around Taiwan, they're all interesting. Being a detail oriented guy myself you left me wondering about that whole septic aeration pump problem. You said that the whole situation could have been avoided, I'm just wondering......how.
    I am wondering about your future plans. You mentioned installing the septic system three years ago and this summer building the house. Does that mean that you'll be moving to Washington state soon?
    For those that don't know, your tongs are absolutely top notch tongs! They are hefty, smooth, precisely made, and very clean. I bought eight pairs from you a few years back and although I have tongs from other makers, yours are the best. I am in a small amateur blacksmithing club of 12-15 guys and they are in agreement that you make some mighty fine tongs.

    I was around exposed aggregate sidewalks for many years. They are pretty but almost universally slippery.

    Seems like it never ends when building a house yourself. It will.

    Buen trabajo. Si le agregas óxido de hierro en polvo junto a las pequeñas piedras de río, consigues que el concreto tome un color bordeaux o borravino. Puedes hacer una prueba la próxima vez que hagas algo con concreto, queda más amigable con los colores de la naturaleza que el gris del cemento.

    I like the "inset" on the cement pad, Glen! Looks perfect, like a cement welcome mat! 😂👍😁

    Ugh oh you made a big mistake ! Rebar needs minimum of 3 cm concrete thickness from all sides ,othervise it rusts and as it rusts its gonna crack the concrete.Not a big deal in your case since you can just sledge hammer it and make a new one ,but thats the most common mistake people make.
    Its also good idea to use a brush and put rust remover on rebar and then coat it with a hydro insulating cement( Ceresite cr90 for example.) on it with a brush .That way +concrete thickness = no future problems.
