    @shortmeister4321 Рік тому +1

    This is great! I love the "can-do", "make-do" spirit. This is what comes from our family values and knowing you can do anything if you put your mind to it. We grew up making the best of what we had and being thankful for our blessings. I am almost 65yrs and had the best childhood learning and making things with my dear grandparents from Iowa. It has served me well through the years and somehow, I suspect Kenny had a similar upbringing in Kansas. Way to go Kenny! Thank you for inviting us to your home. God bless and Safe travels! 💗🙏💗

    One of the most creative minds I've listened to in ages...I liked very few TV programs in years past, but I remember McGyver, who could, seemingly, conger up whatever the emergency required out of thin air. Fascinating...and so was this gentleman. Thank both of you so very much for raising the level of TV for a few wonderful moments 😊.

    This rig is by far the best piece of functional art I've ever seen. And considering that it is almost entirely made by reusing/repurposing things, makes it even more fantastique.
    Once Kenny doesn't need it anymore, one has to exhibit this home on wheels as a masterpiece in the MoMA. This is simply a must.

    I've probably seen hundreds of these vids but this one had me in stitches, probably because the owner/builder guy was so humorous in his delivery. When he said the box truck was held together with foam boards and glue it had me rolling! He is so inspiring. Kudos to him for such a neat setup.
