    I read somewhere that a Creator looked at his work and said, "It is good"------and here we have another creator who derives satisfaction after completing a job well devised and done. I don't know what your training and previous experience gave you this God granted skill, but I sit here quite impressed! Now, doesn't that just make your day? lol

    Absolutely beautiful. You are a master. After building for 42 years, it takes a lot to impress me, but I am truly impressed. At first, I wasn't sure about the chains, but after they were finished and painted, they look great. Had you farmed out the steelwork, you would be amazed at how much money you just saved, and you know it was done right. Beautiful job on everything, you and your crew are truly blessed.

      I second this. Years ago, I had really long hair and a wisp got snagged by my drill motor and ripped out of my scalp. I have a small scar where no hair will grow.

    I'm transported back to my childhood watching you cutting and welding. My father was a welder by trade and he created in his backyard shop.
    Watching you brings that all back for me.
    Thank you. 😊👍💗🇨🇦

    You two are simply amazing with your carpentry skills and ingenuity. You put new meaning into the ''hard'' of hard work and the results are stunning! So glad I found y'all back in the early stages of your build. I wore myself out helping you underpin the trailer, build your drive, build the solar system, the shop, and rocking it. 😂 I don't understand why you don't have a million subs. Best thing on You tube today!

    Pro tip, when you are drilling two pieces of metal to get the holes to align, tac weld around the perimeter of the piece and you can turn it, flip it do whatever you want and just grind the tacs off at the end to separate them. Keeps them perfectly aligned

    Jacob and Natalie, you both continually amaze and impress with your ingenuity and hard work. I love the chain look. It exemplifies a look that is relevant to medieval times when knights were bold and iron was in fashion for some things. It just reminds me somewhat of what I have seen in some castles in Europe.
    You certainly won't have any failures with this beam connection system.

    At first when you where explaining your chain idea I was not grasping it... then when you finished the first one the light bulb hit and I am very impressed with how cool it is... There is a Shaker Proverb that says something to the effect of, 'Don't make something unless it is both necessary and useful; but if it is both necessary and useful, don't hesitate to make it beautiful'... I will substitute the word "beautiful" with the word "Cool" here.

    If the purpose of the paint is to protect the wood from the weather make sure that the paint is waterproof. If it is not waterproof and it rains on it or snows on it it will pop right off of the subfloor. You should check this if it is water soluble just put another coat of oil-based paint or exterior paint.
    Love your channel you guys are fantastic.
