    Pine Needle tea would help the sniffles and cold congestion. Nice kitchen and is well organized. Can't start the day without a good hot cup of home-brewed coffee served on your new Corian countertop.

    Hay y'all, What a difference a week makes. I am so Happy you tank is fixed and not leaking. With winter just starting that is the last problem you need. Getting the apron buttoned up before the snow piles up is another key.
    I think the emotional and mental keys are getting the ability to use the shower now big big mental boost. The other one is the Kitchen counter tops installed. Having a kitchen that can function as a kitchen is very important mentally just seeing these four big accomplishments has to feel so good and a giant relief. Take a moment to congratulate yourselves and acknowledge you are overcoming some big obstacles in the face of the struggle just to keep going and did it well. Great job y'all !!

    Hello Katie and Greg. You did not show it, but if the fire did not work on the stump, drill some holes as far down as you can and fill it with diesel or mix with gasoline. This will burn it from the inside. Please remember to drill some vent holes in the side to allow air inside. If you keep up the work with picking up the extra wood, soon you will have none left except for the current cuttings and a larger wood stack. Have good days!

    @aspendell209 2 роки тому +22

    When you install the house wrap around the skirting, cut them 2 ft wider than you need and extend that on the ground away from the house. That should prevent water penetration near the wall until you can sculpt and slope the ground away from the house.

    • @russellwatters5891
      @russellwatters5891 2 роки тому +1

      They've been doing that, only with rubber material covering the house wrap, and then covering it with earth. Sloping the material was possible before, the ground is frozen now

    Katie & Greg I hope you really enjoy your new counter tops, they are beautiful and have many advantages over stone. We have the same kind. One thing to be aware of, in case the installers did not tell you, don't put anything HOT on your counter tops. It could cause them to crack.

    I like the Corium. I actually turned down some pieces on my lathe and made ink pens with it. Made a mess as the shavings stick to everything and the static caused by the vacuum repels the shavings so I ended up picking them up by hand.
    Your kitchen looks really nice and tacos sound really good even though it is breakfast time here. Potatoes and sausage for me.
    No snow in The Valley of the Sun, Arizona though.
    Take care,
    jack

    Glad to see you guy's managing to pull through the 'tough' times (being sick ultimately that's not helped by the chilly winter moving in). Funny also, that everyday things we take for granted like a counter top, yep a counter top becomes a thing of real beauty (liked your hostess with the mostess movements around the kitchen, made me chuckle 😃) as it really does begin to pull together your'home'. .... And of course, no way are you having a pub dinner (some would call that heresy Greg), taco's at home the best meal of many you'll have .... keep going keep em comin. 🙏

    That’s a nice worktop you’ve got fitted but then I’m biased as we have the exact same one in our kitchen and even after 12 years it still looks like new except for beside the oven were it has cracked with the wife pulling things out of the oven and sitting it the worktop to check it’s cooked through then moving it to a rack to stand or back in oven for a few minutes.

    4:35 Otherwise, for tree stumps, I discovered a very interesting technique:
    Simply cut the stump with the chainsaw, like a cake (from top to bottom), into 4 parts, and going down as low as possible (below the level of the earth in the middle). Then, we insert corner to split into it, which we push in until the tree stump bursts into 4 parts. Each of these parts become much easier to extract with an excavator (or tractor - excavator)
