I'm so glad you have each other to do the work, but man, such hard work! I admire both of you, so very much. And, was that you singing with the harp?!? So lovely, mesmerizing!

      @@Lazydaisy646 It wasn't, but it hadn't housed chickens for years, and I cleaned it really well. It had been a truly deluxe chicken house in it's day - one you you stand up in. It had a little wood stove and an old cast iron bed, and a good roof, so I was dry and warm if I needed to be. It was summer - it never would have been habitable in cold weather. That fall I moved to Colorado. Ah, my itinerant youth!

    That bit at 6:27 was unexpectedly magical. I love it when stuff works. Also, I keep loving how this channel works. It feels like hanging out with friends doing some good hard work and poking at each other. Add the requisite Monty Python and it's very near my friend group's dynamic. And, my goodness, I wanted to be there to help get the stove inside. Hard to watch and not feel I'm supposed to pitch in, even on UA-cam.
