      I think he's most likely referring to the Advantech subfloor adhesive. I'm sure they keep it somewhat indoors but it will work in pretty cold weather, it just slows down the flow. We use a converted yeti cooler with a heating pad to keep all of our adhesives caulk and batteries warm in sub-zero weather.

The past four days were spent replacing the roof on a complex of buildings, 22 X 29 and 12 X 29, finished coverage last night minutes before the rain began. Hope you guys had a great time during your break. Stay safe, warm, and well.

    I lived in Kodiak Alaska for 4 years. The folks up there and in Finland, Iceland, etc..... use saunas. You build a small building for the fire burning oven and put rocks on top. Then you pour water over the rocks and you get hot steam. You sit on a bench and sweat. It is wonderful. All you need to do is collect firewood and mop the inside for cleanliness. It can get real hot. Takes a little while to get used to it. But it is soo healthy to sweat. And anyone in your family can do it together. You use cedar wood for the inside.

      Don't forget that saunas originated in Finland, a cold northern climate, and are great for health. They don't have to be basement closets as they so often seem to be in north America. They help with cardiac health, high blood pressure and other conditions. Nothing stopping anyone building both the tub and the sauna, Outdoors! And with Windows. 😉

    Allie, you are such a great videographer and editor. I know I’ve told you that many times, but seriously, you have improved so so soooooo much, you are a Pro now. I know because I’ve seen your videos for years! I’m so proud of you Allie.

My only hope is that Trent & Allie are mindful of takinf the necessary measures to ensure this deck does not become a home to ‘unwelcome critters’. I don’t know what material they chose for the deck the boards, but most importantly is securing the perimeter. I thought Trent mentioned their intention for ‘wood storage’, and not sure if he was referring to under the deck, but if so, that may not be an ideal plan (?) Secure that deck, as a priority, even it it means having to for go some storage space. Can always build a simple wood shed. I trust they’ve thought of everything and know what they’re doing better than I do, am only an ‘observer’. Love seeing them back at it, in 2021! Go Team Trent&Allie. Will be watching as more is revealed.

    @carloknuwer1026 3 роки тому

    Hi Trent and Allie
    From our perspective you should chose the sauna over the hot tub.
    Motivation: the hot tub needs to be heated throughout almost the whole year therefore producing a lot of CO2
    An the other hand a sauna only needs to be heated on the occasion that you want to enjoy it.
    Having a sauna or hot tub is best when you have a few friends who are also into the lifestyle because we have experienced that after a while you won't fire up the sauna for just the two of you.
    Having the thing is no warranty for using it.
    When you really want to enjoy a spa-experience without using to much resources, and at the same time be able to use it as much as possible, consider buying a luxurious shower with everything build in.
    You won't break the bank but be able to heat up and cool down without having to go outside to cool down in nudity in the right way.
    Hope we gave you some good advise from a European and naturist point of view.
    Greetings Carlo & Mascha, the Netherlands
    By the way, we love the way your house is coming together. ❤

      Syn M, do you live in the mountains? I think a lot of us are tossing around ideas of where the best place to live will be. It does look like a great idea. I spent time in Fort Collins, driving up to Estes Park. My aunt and uncle used to be park rangers there. They actually had a van built out for them. I am considering other states and countries right now...... But reality says that borders are closed to Americans, and it's not a buyers market at the moment, so I will probably just stay put. But it is so nice to dream, and live vicariously through Trent and Allie! Maybe one day in the future.

    The Hot tub is more enjoyable lounging in cold weather, but requires more maintenance with cleaning and getting the chemicals right. The sauna is warm if you don’t mind sweating, but is practically maintenance free. We’ve had both and love the hot tub hands down!
