    You did such a nice job on the steps for Kate's tree house. It looks so sturdy & safe now. I enjoy watching your projects and how you figure out all the steps necessary to get the projects done. You make things look so simple, which I know are not as simple as they appear. I can tell you have so much experience doing these types of projects. I would love to be able to build things like you do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us viewers.

    Good morning Ant, I have been watching Kate go up and down those steps to hang her beautiful quilts for a while. And i feared she would fall or they would break. You did a wonderful job. You and Kate are so lucky to have your friendship. And to give it to grandchildren is so special. It was nice for for Kate to pop in also. You and yours have a great day.

    Ant. Midwestern America Female carpenter here 🙂 I use my drill as a hammer occasionally too !! Lol.
    I am a fan of Kates as well and can appreciate the need for sturdiness as we get long in the years !
    I’m anticipating a video of Kates grandchildren climbing on the stairs and exploring another room in the garden.
    As one who has filled a need for others, I am grateful for your willing hands to be a builder and part of the solution. Our world needs more like you to be an example for mankind. Yes. We’re all fallible but you seem to be a humble man and a good neighbor. Yeah that ground is way squishier than the clay we have here !!!!!🫣

    Great job once again! It's amazing that you two always figure out the best way to do a project. I know Kate wanted those steps replaced asap so the grandkids can play there. It looks pretty muddy in that area but there should be some nice days for fun up in the sky! Kate also hangs finished quilts over the railing so we can see the full thing and get a picture. 😊

    PS- I am trying to decide if you are left or right handed. You use your tools with equal strength and skill in both hands. Certainly do not see that very often.

    We have a very similar clubhouse that my husband built for our daughter and son about 36 years ago. He made the exact same change when the grandkids came along...from a ladder attached to the side to regular steps. Our kids used to hoist things up in a bucket with a rope because carrying things up a ladder was difficult 😂 Nice job, Ant!

    I’m sure you thought of this; but just in case you didn’t, I’m wondering: if the old steps and posts were rotted out, what about the other posts that are holding up the treehouse? Have they been checked for safety? If it’s been there so long that Kate’s kids used it when they were small, could they need replacement too? Just checking bc we don’t want the treehouse to come tumbling down. 😬 TFS. 🌷
