    I am impressed. You built the curved staircase in the round house in just under 29 minutes. This really nice clothes line in under 25 minutes. Just call it AMISH and extra workers that we have not seen appear and viola........ It's built.............😊. Another wonderful job and video done. As always, thanks for sharing...

    Great job helping the neighbors, mine had to finish prepping the floor of a kitchen and dining area with tiles in the weekend and i was buttering tiles at 3am with them 😂 got the thing finished on time though 😃👍 they run a campground nextdoor and got caught out trying to finish before the new fruit pickers from Vanuatu arrived for the fruit season 😂 being a good neighbor is it's own reward👍👋

    That is amazing! I was very impressed with the square holes too. I have become fond of using a bulb plugger on a cordless drill to help break the bottom of my post holes when ground is hard. I use the root bar too but i am 60 years old and both of my shoulders have pins and straps from torn rotator cuffs. This makes me limited on how long I can drive a root bar. We enjoy the videos. You and the young McGie men are good builders.

    I remember during the winter my momma walking that clothes line taking in those frozen shirts and pants, that were as straight as an arrow. She would hang them up by the wood heater so them would thow out.

    Good morning Brother Micah. When I saw this on story time Saturday, I commented about me worrying about my 80 year old mother still carrying baskets of clothes out to the clothesline and that she might fall. I said I liked this concept and it would be great for her, but she wouldn’t have it. I found several examples online and showed it to her. And I was right. “she ain’t having it”. 🤦🏽‍♂️ 🤷🏽😂😂😂 Have a beautiful, blessed and fruitful day. 👋🏽

    Awesome, most of us down here on the Hurricane Coast know the importance of a good clothes line, hey , I even have two sets of wringers with the the square tubs. Being weeks without electricity for the washer and dryer would mean dirty clothes without that setup.I bet your Neighbors could make some awesome Homesteading How too videos. Seen her in action, she definitely got some knowledge for the masses. Two awesome UA-cam channels next to each other would definitely complement each other.

    Great job, boys!!! Those track bars are heavy and take a hearty back and strong arms to lift, weild and keep working for some time. I used one working turbines and compressors to move a 50t rotor to line up in the bearings before we built out the top half. Even used one to clock the shaft and check the travel of a million foot pounds of torque generator. Those things are stout! Great job and I love how y'all come together to help each other. That's how God intended us to be. Not reliant on the big institutions of gov't. Fellowship with our brothers and sisters however you can. ❤

    Hey brother Micah , it’s Jeff that’s cool with a platform. I never seen that before a lot of the Amish or Mennonite faith here they hook the wheel up right up to their house and then they’ll run the wire or the line all the way around to another pulley wheel I seen them use a car rim also bicycle wheels and that was about 150 feet away on the pole that way around here never seen it. That’s coolWork, you’re awesome and your boys are great I forget the ladies name that you’re building that for but I could see why she needs a platform and she’s very short and I’m not making fun of her so I hope she don’t read this and get offended. I don’t mean nothing by it but again beautiful craftsmanship I hope you have a great day and I’ll see you on the next video.
