    I am now 75 yrs old, and can no longer do what you are doing. 20 yr ago I built my garage, 30ft x 40ft, 2 stories, mostly by myself. I used the same step-by-step engineering approach as you. I enjoy watching you solve your problems to reach your goals. If you don't have the big machines, you can still do the job. It just takes more time and more thinking. Bravo!

    Watching your videos has become my daily routine since the day one. There's something special in your videos. Its an eternal epiphany for me. I've been suffering from Chronic depression and feels lonely all the time. By watching u guys, I feel the love and care.. its like you're ma family.. Especially my little Cutie Pie 'Iver' makes my day 😘😘😘
    I love you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
    Best Wishes For Days Ahead 😘😘😘
    Love from US😍

      Oh, I have been watching this family from outside if Holland Michigan. Their son Iver is adorable. My son is 6 ft 8 now but I remember him as the "green eyed little blonde he is but all grown up. Good luck to these people in Northern Holland. I just had a house fire and burned most everything one cannot replace. It is okay though, things will turn around.

    I am quite impressed with your use of old techniques and your friends and wife who help you out so well. I know this vlog is a year old, but now I have to find how to do "binge" watching from the beginning. I wish I spoke Swedish --- your use of English is amazing----but by knowing Swedish, I could hear the inside jokes.

    You both (all) work so hard that it makes me feel guilty sitting here watching you from my warm home on the coast of Mexico. I love hearing the Swedish! I reminds me of my great-grandfather who immigrated from Jonkoping in 1894. He always called me, his first great-grandchild, his Svenska flicka.

    WOW...WHAT HEALTHY EATING! You seem gourmets! Perhaps a slice of 'dark Belgium/Swiss' chocolate to add a pound or two to your lean frames. You NEED it for alllllll the hard work you do. The both of you seem to be perfectionists...don't overdo it! You have done AMAZING work already...truly lovely workmanship...but it does not need to be done overnight. Steady, but easy does it! Isn't it a blessing to have LOTS of moisture rather than a dry, dusty climate. I sometimes get 'overwhelmed' by all the work I have to do as a widow, with a small character home in Canada, I find that doing a little, is better than nothing some days. God Bless!

I respect your efforts!! About the front room where you leave coats and shoes, I would call it the front entryway. A mudroom is usually not the main entrance.
