    Sam, you should not feel “ icky “ …. You & Angela are honest people, with morals . What you have addressed in this video is the reality of life : running a homestead, running your businesses, raising children and moving to a new property- with ALL that that entails. No one has a money tree 🌳! And your honesty is helpful to others who may want to make similar lifestyle choices . You are brave in your forthrightness and I admire you for it . May God bless your endeavors and your family. Because you have enriched OUR lives by sharing yours . 🙏❤️😘

    Sam, I never sold a tool I didn't regret selling. I understand the situation is what it is but try to keep everything you can even if it means stacking it in a corner until you build the bigger shop. They are always more expensive to buy again then what you got for them when sold.

      @denisewilson8367 3 роки тому

      Even your pieces & parts collections. Just sort & "box up" everything in totes and be as organized as possible. Stack these totes in a corner if need be. Replacement is hugely more costly. But I'm sure you also have a bunch of junk. The same as all of us that have been living in the same place for a good while (or your life time). That stuff should be hauled off to recycle or dump.
      Sort your lumber items and get rid of small pieces. Just keep the good wood, & you no what I mean.
      Then go thru your tools. Anything that doesn't do its job or is broken get rid of it.

Life can be funny sometimes but you do have something to look forward to and your property is so beautiful there’s so much that can be done with it. I live in Tennessee but I live in Memphis which is the city and I do not like it much so that helps me to watch your channel to see what your hopes and dreams are for now I’ve gotten stage of my life where it’s too late for me to do those kinds of things. God bless you both and your family and until next time see you on the Homestead

Sponsorships are nothing to be ashamed of. It's a win/win/win/win. Y'all get a little extra cash, a new tool to use, we know if it's worth it and a budding company gets a truthful review. (And if there's a way to improve y'all can help there too)
