    Just sharing my two cents...when I was a kid, Dad bought a mobile home that was the same size as the one we lived in at the time. He had it positioned twenty feet apart from the original home. Had it leveled and started a porch of cedar planks to connect the two homes. That porch was solid! Later on he added a roof over the porch and connected it by design to look like part of the two home roofs. The following month he build the walls, and had two glass sliding doors for the front and back of the middle addition. The middle part finally became the huge family room, with the other mobile home being the new kitchen, pantry, and walk in refrigerator, extra large closets and master bedroom with bathroom. The original home became all bedrooms and a extra bathroom for my brother and guests. There were ten of us at the time! The family room was the best! We had a small baby grand piano and other musical instruments, a lot of comfortable sitting areas for reading, popcorn machine and projector for movie nights. When we would have sleepovers with our cousins, the pillow fights were awesome, lol. One of my cousins bought the homestead 20 years ago! What good memories we all had. Have fun building yours. Much love and blessings from south Texas.

    Brother, we love you and your family. We haven't meet but we are equally yoked. Wisdom and counsel is vital to prosperity in the endeavor we pursue. Please, please remove the stumps and the root system before putting in the footers and building. This will save headache and future unforseen problems. We dearly care and know you are like us, no short cuts or half done endeavors, you always amaze us with your caring intelligence and personality. Rent a piece of equipment and get those trees out of there. Peace of mind is vital. Terminates and the root structure under that area will have great amounts of settling as the wood is consumed. Trees can survive also and lead to problems. Thank you for sharing your experiences and family life. We love you and hope to sow one day into your family. Cheers

      @@SteffieWeffy1 thanks for that! I fondly watch Buggy and remember my daughter imitating everything I did in those years, just like Buggy imitating and helping Meg. When I had my son, my daughter took to her younger brother in a big way. She wanted to hold him, feed him, play with him, etc. I would imagine that we will see likewise when this new baby is born. My two remain tightly bonded to this day and have the closest most supportive relationship and friendship two siblings can enjoy though they are in their middle years and living many states away from one another now.

    We did the same thing to our single wide mobile home 40 years ago. My husband built it all himself with help from our small kids. Then over the years added a two car garage on one side and a greenhouse on the front and a porch out back. We raised our three kids in it and now our son and his wife and five kids live in it. We now live behind that house in a double wide and added five acres to our original 2 1/2 and we all raise our food and animals on 7 acres. We added an Airbnb to our property also. So all that to say…..”hang on for the ride!” We love our lifestyle and often say to each other that your life looks a ton like ours. From northwest New Mexico… Enjoy! We love watching your family btw.

    For fixing broken handles, start with a small drill bit, maybe around 1/8 inch and drill several holes spread out in the wood stuck in the head. Then go up in drill bit to maybe 3/8 to 1/2 inch and drill in center of head opening and you should be able to break off and pull out whats left easily. Good luck on everything!

    Sitting in my little but homy kitchen after a day's of remote working in my little but homy bedrood/living room... dealing with annuitant's deaths and their pensions... in french speaking Quebec Canada... you would not know how much I loved the part of the axe with the inertia thing! OMG! :D ...so now you know!! ;) ... and Oh I just started my sourdough adventure this week as I got my starter... After rising I got a second one going..one is called Amen and the other one Hallelujah! :D ... Thank You and G.od Bless You All! :)

      @@JulieonUA-cam Awe! That sounds like fun! You have made MY day as you are a Kiddo to me LOL! My youngest just turned 50 in December. Now I need to pray about what to name my starter when it comes. 😂 For they will all "rise up" and bring praise to the Lord! (I am am in the middle of my Jubilee Year - 75 years young! PTL!) And very blessed to be so active... gardening and on the go a lot. Absolutely many blessings over you Kiddo!. 🌻🐛💕Carolyn in Ohio

    I am so excited! I can’t wait to watch the progress! I feel like I’m getting the new addition! You all got this! I love that the kids get to be a part of it! They will grow into very productive adults with valuable experience and all the memories!! ps…. and doing it barefoot makes even better!

    You’re right. I did cringe at those bare feet! But what a great team of workers for this project. And they’ll learn so much. If you want to prevent those stumps from sprouting anything, bore several 1” holes in the tops and fill with cheap salt. It’ll kill them for sure.

      I think they already have 2 bathrooms. It will be a lot easier if there is no plumbing in the addition.

    And six inch frost depth.

    This is were neck deep in right now. Started buikding a 14x60 foot addition to our 12x55 single wide. We are now roofed, closed in, rooms are framed. We're running electric and starting insulating this week. Been a long process but such a blessing building debt free.

    Marjory Wildcraft digs barefoot also. She says it is grounding and her feet are used to it, much like the Hollar boys. We could all use a bit of grounding! lol

      I’d be scared to go barefoot around sharp tools though, or tools in general really ..
