    Am I the only woman who line drys cloths thinking that would make a great winter cloths drying area 🤣 I would leave the tin roof just paint it black

      Yes nothing wrong with that roof Bruce, the plastic gets very dirty and then another job to do,to clean it..
      I feel you and Annie have enough to be doing 👍
      The girl's are growing up so beautiful. I hope they are enjoying their new bedrooms

      I hate clothes driers, the strange soft and „used“ feel of the clothes. For me wind dried clothes are a must.

    Fantastic job, we have gotten some second windows and have another project lined for a little sun room, wont be till next spring tho. And you picked a great spot, Clare lived nearby and used to work in that restaurant. Fantastic beach right there also ;) Miss your frequent videos You were the OG in this space and I think we need you back for balance ;)

      I do intend on making more regular vids I’m just finding it hard to get my vid making mojo back. I have some beautiful hardwood windows for our lean to green house for the south side of the house. That’s probably next year though I reckon

    It looks great! I'm a very symmetrical person though so I would have tried to make the fronts match on both sides. I would have had a tall window in each section, a square one with the lines in each section with one of the mid sized ones you have on the side and I like the 3 slotted windows you did so I would do those in from both sides and fill from there. I think I would have needed more wood pieces between the windows though to fill in. But it works and it was cheap so even better :)

    Might want to look at scrap yard or marketplace for oil drilling pipe for your pasture fence posts!
    Last a lot longer! You can use fencing materials or whatever for rails!
    Yes! Everything is expensive! There gouging the heck out of all of us!

      That will work! I’m sure you will make a nice fence! Your in a very damp environment so if you going to bury them too charcoal the bottom!
      In the long term the drill pipes will last most of your life!
      There very long 35 feet so you can get more cheeper!
      Nothing is cheep!
      Near future it will get better!
