      praying is something you can do along with all those actions

      Spend time listening to your potential mates words. They are big clues to what he's all about. And if you want a Christian mate, make sure he's already established and involved in a good Christian church. Make sure he has a group of at least 2 good guy friends that attend church regularly also. So much to think about! But worth the time! How does he talk to and about his mom and sisters? Must have a steady job, vehicle or two. A house to live in.
      Ask a lot of questions. Find out his goals for life. And, pray, read a couple books, including the Bible about marriage. Stay pure. Do not settle! I'm praying for you!!

    Bill, I’d like to thank you for making this series. You have put a lot of careful thought into the design. I appreciate and value your detailed instructions.
    You’ve taken Elizabeth’s needs into account and customized it so that it functions well for her.
    What a wonderful labor of love for Elizabeth 💕 Your wife is just a lovely lady. Her smile just says it all 🥰 Bill you knocked it out of the park! One and done ✅

    Good innovative idea and good sense of humor! Thank you. Addition to your design to make it more simple is to let the cover go all the way down without chains so if there is a strong gust of wind, it will not close the cover.

    • @LiveSimpleLiveFree
      @LiveSimpleLiveFree  4 роки тому +1

      If we let it go all the way down, we would have had to leave a lot more space in between the beds to make room for that. We don't really expect to be out there working in the garden in strong wind anyway. It has never been a problem.

    I've had gardens up until about 5 years ago and my raised beds never looked that fancy!! Amazing! It will be fun to watch the progress of your garden plants through the summer. Elizabeth, my daughter and I both had horrific stabbing pains all over then I saw a video about foods that cause inflammatory pain. So we avoid peanuts, the entire night shade potatoes and rice to avoid that pain. I still do legumes occasionally, and tomatoes and green peppers once in awhile and seem to remain comfortable. We were missing our potato salad so much..so I tried an organic Asian sweet potato...deep red on the outside but almost white on the inside. It was delicious! Honestly I wouldn't have known the difference. If you can't find these Asian ones near you, I would think the whitish traditional sweet potatoes would work well. I never get arthritic pain from the Sweet Potato family. I know that you avoid them for other reasons but wanted to share if like us, you were missing potato salad. Love and blessings to you both!

      @@LiveSimpleLiveFree Be sure and take care with your trips to lowes and wear gloves and a mask and wash good. Elizabeth is at greater risk with inflammatory issues. Also I finally made the switch away from phillips head screws in favor of either the square head or the torx (also called star). Far easier to get lots of torque without having to press so hard with your driver. And years ago I bought a number of bar clamps to be my "assistant" and use them all the time to "hold" the other end of work pieces, etc. Finally, you may rethink your chain setup since the chain prevents sitting in about 1/2 or more of each side. You could probably get by with one in the middle going across the length to the middle of the opposite end. Regardless, another superb job by a real craftsman! It's a joy to watch you!

Compared to high fences and in some rural cases, wired fences, the one time cost investment seems reasonable.
