I was worried too. He is so precious and so vulnerable to snakes, alligators, spiders. There is a saying that goes, Florida wants to kill you. I love it there but it demands some extra caution.
I’m 100% sure y’all are gonna restore that property better than it ever was. You run into issues, but you think outside any boxes and that’s what makes your channel so interesting! I love natural wood too, but painting it sometimes really makes a space look and feel better. I can’t wait to see what designs you all create there. It’s going to be perfect!
@@ratj4715 I am in so much awe of people who go to work every, single day and do jobs I could never do (and do it with integrity) and raise good kids. And love God.
@@txtrish No I understand am not taking anything away from them neither it working for them getting paid to fix up your home sounds like a good deal to me.
Not to be critical but please don't let Maverick around the pond without someone bigger, I know you haven't seen any alligators but they can show up unexpected and Maverick is small enough to be considered a food source to them, but Belle would discourage an attack... I love you too much not to mention it. I lived with a swampy pond for years and eventually it was full of alligators and other wildlife ! Love from Shreveport Louisiana 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 when I lived in St Pete FL not Louisiana !
I agree 100%. I was holding my breath all of the time that Maverick was by that pond. Alligators can move very fast and pull someone, especially a small child into the pond.
I "liked" this comment, but hasten to add that I believe that it is already the "rule". Our little ones are our treasure, and even when we are allowing them to explore the wilderness we have precautions in place. Last night I took our twin grandsons (14 months), and their 2 yo and 6 yo brothers on a walk. I planned every bit of their roaming time, even that I was in my comfortable clothes and shoes so that I could re-direct them. It may have looked casual to an observer, but I was on high alert :) I believe it is the same for Doug and Ashley.
I admire you both but please keep Maverick safe, didn't Ashley say the water flows in from a bigger body of water, even more reason to assume it could be dangerous with gators, don't mean to be interfering but I really would be concerned.
It can happen so quickly and unexpected. I remember hearing of a boy snatched from nearby the water at Disney World… DISNEY! You would never think that… you don’t think it’s too big of a deal, until it is, then it’s too late. I also don’t want to sound negative or punitive.
I hope y'all are planning on setting a a foundation and building a well house? If so, set some French drains around the base and build the building out of cinder blocks. Protect your well and pressure tank! Have y'all had a water quality test done? If not, you need to have one done. No amount of filters can help if you have a contaminated well, with the flooding y'all have, you need to know.
Don't touch the fuzzy caterpillars, almost all of them are toxic or venomous and can send you to the hospital. Rule of thumb, if its poky or fuzzy, let them well alone.
I actually laughed out loud when the concrete dropped and soaked you Doug! 😆 you left that part in and I’m glad you did - it’s part of the reason you’re so well liked here, you don’t take yourself too seriously and I think we all appreciate that. Great job as always 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You guys are so unflappable, always going with the flow, with out whining. That's why we all enjoy watch your Vids. You don't turn everything into drama!! Thank you for that !!!
I like the white. It’s looking more “southern”. I would go ahead and pant it all white. Look up pictures of southern coastal homes on the Internet... a lot of white walls with color accents with pictures and pillows...etc.
I love both of your attitudes. You guys are able to laugh at the water and not get super upset over set backs or changes. The world would be less stressed if more people had this outlook. By the way I miss your 45+ mintue videos.
Stephanie B - I 100% agree with you on everything you’ve said. Who knew home reno could be so interesting? I just love watching this lovely family and how hard they work.
Really, I found Mavericks picture fascinating. Those little birds he drew - gave the picture depth, way before his years. Those little birds are beautiful. And nothing that I would expect a youngster his age to paint - a panorama with depth - very cool.
I'm in TX and got hit hard last February from that freeze. The pipe between pump and tank cracked. I was staying in town as conditions at my place were unlivable, no power, no heat, no water, etc. for a week. When the power was turned on the well pumped water for over 12 hours and due to that broken pipe my place was flooded. Happy ducks and geese. You buying that tank before it actually was needed was a happy blessing.
@@jeffsanderson2737 I'm not West Texas but awfully close. In my county alone 2k power poles cracked in half. Love all those linemen who came to help get new poles up. No question Feb 2021 was the worse winter of my life. Farmer's Almanac says it could be another cold winter. I hope not but lots of signs suggesting it will be.
OMG people STOP...let them live. If you are nervous...stop watching. People have been talking about gators and snakes since they have moved there. THEY ARENT LIVING IN FEAR.
I lived in Louisiana in bayou country for 7 years and I saw less snakes there than I did in California. 🤷♀️ They’re there, but they won’t bother you if you don’t bother them.
Awesome. The paint just brightens up the room. In this case painting makes the wood look so much better. The dark walls an ceiling were depressing to me. You've got a lot done. Without working yourselves to death to get it done. Thanks for sharing..
From the 58 channels in my subscription list DIYfferent is one of my top three favorite channels. Doug, I always say men are natural born problem solvers. And you never fail to prove me right. I love watching your family mold life like putty in your hands.
Everything is looking good I would definitely get the drainage system put in and I noticed your little boy was next to the water back there please be careful if you have Gators around there
I couldn’t agree more, please keep Maverick away from the water’s edge, the potential for drowning or being attacked by gators seems all to real. Enjoyed the progress your making, this is going to be a fun and exciting journey!
You just never know what's going to pop up during renovations. Years ago when we were doing a home renovation we would tell our Daughter (6 yrs old at the time) whatever you do, don't flush the toilet, then we would say it's ok to flush the toilet, then we would spring another leak and say don't flush. This went on for days and she got to the point where she would ask if it was ok to flush today. It got to be a running joke in that house lol. All good memories though. You too will collect those stories as you go and they will bring smiles to your faces for years to come. Hugs to Y'all Ü
I love it Maverick is talking up a storm. Love watching the progress, I’m as excited as if I was doing it. I need to do so much but old age has taken its toll so it’s difficult
Doug, you constantly surprise me with your knowledge of all aspects of repairs! And I know having to explain your reasoning can be cumbersome, so I applaud you for that, too! Your property and house are going to be $$$ better than before…no doubt! Keep doing a fantastic job!
While watching Doug cut the bottom off the barrel , There was a shot of your little guy standing way back but, I noticed he was standing just like Doug does. I just started watching you guys. Been very nice to see a young couple do good. And your right about living up north the six months of cold does us all a disfavor. We move back up north 2 years ago because we are getting on in years and need to be closer to our children. Living in Florida for 15 years was good. But we are getting on in our years and will need help soon or later and our Kids are all still working. We can't be having them go back and forth between Minnesota and Florida. I love watching your family and I used to love the trampoline also. In fact when the grand children got theirs I was in there with them . I think I was 58 at the time fun.
I really look forward to your videos, your work ethic, and accomplishments are amazing for such a young family. Your videos are never boring, and always inspiring. We are also in Florida, and would love to have you as neighbors.
Ceiling looks great guys! You are so hardworking and thorough...I admire that so much👌. Keep safe and God bless your beautiful family🤲🌺. Looking forward to the next video💐
I like the white ceiling in the living room. I am anxious to see how it looks when you paint the walls. It will make the room brighter and seem larger. I don't like dark wood or colors.
I’m a MId Century Modern fan, so your last home was a perfect fit for my style. I’m following this remodel, wondering how things will come out. There is a huge difference between The two houses. After the flooding on your property, I think it would have gotten the best of me. You guys handle things better than I do.
Great use of all those broken cement blocks. It also gets rid of them from your yard without paying for it. But I am sorry you were forced to start the job before you were ready. The ceiling looks great and it only took 1 coat. The piers and the wooden beam is nice to have done. Now just getting the other sides finished and you will be set to get the interior started. This is all a lot of work and you are getting it done pretty fast. Can't wait to see what's next. Bye Ashley.
I can't get enough of your videos guys! You did a fantastic job with the side of the house, wow!! And Ashley, the barrel was a smart idea 👏👍 Can't wait for the next project! I hope you all have a great day ❤
I thought it rained and the ceiling leaked! It's a the way I read your title. Whew!! I've had to have my pressure tank repaired so many times in the last 20 years that I could have bought a new one easily, and mine was spraying harder than that in the basement.. talk about a mess. You're so lucky you're skilled enough to take care of this yourself. I also love the ceiling what a difference in there 👍😄❤️
The ceiling looks so fresh and does give the illusion of being more spacious than the dark low looking ceiling. I noticed that Ashley and Belle were careful of the spines on the cute caterpillar. Ashley is Belle still drawing dragons? Has she made Floridian dragons?
Great to see you addressing the well head area:) I like the barrel idea to use as a form and the way you have raised the tank base up, it’s always enjoyable to watch the way you guys attack problems:) And having the well head raised is a great idea, where we live our code requires a minimum of 12” above the ground, I don’t know what your code is for your area, maybe higher then possible flood waters? Anyhow I know you will figure it out and make it better then is needed. It’s amazing how you guys do the work and film it as you do it then edit it then upload it, just the video work alone is tedious, so thank you for sharing your world again and again with us:) And I like the way you add in the family having fun together, and Maverick’s drawing:)God Bless
Superb innovation. I have found that the Valspar Marque Primer/paint is worth the cost for my 93 year old house and my 70 year old body. Makes painting so much smoother with great results. I have heard that spraying a mixture of borax and water on wood can protect it from the elements and termites. Maverick is such a big help and his art is so creative. Belle is so precious.
Ashley, I so enjoy seeing you smile and having fun. The trampoline is cool for the whole family. Smart idea to elevate the tank and fix the wiring. 😊 Doug, you can get Quikrete self leveling sealant to seal the gap around the concrete in the barrel.
Old houses have many surprises, you two are handling it like pros. You have the right attitudes for this and you’re a blessing to watch. Thank you for sharing you good and bad that you encounter.
Doug and Ashley... the paint looks really good. I like the way the wood grains show thru here and there. I believe that it just adds character to the overall look. I wish I could hear what that sweet boy is saying. What a love he is and so so handsome. I got a big smile seeing Ashley out there having fun on the trampoline. This is good for ALL the family. Will keep you full of joy! Love from Camarillo Grammy.
Awesome idea to use those leftover broken cement bricks. I know you guys are going to find great uses for the rest of them as you get the property fixed up.
The painted ceiling looks great. Love that the texture of the wood shows through. Great use of the broken concrete in your new well platform. It's like hügelkultur for concrete (rather than a raised vegetable bed). Glad you were planning to replace the well/pressure tank anyway. Using the metal barrel as your concrete form was ingenuous. Great thinking Ashley. .. . . Doug: Do you think this'll fit in there? Ashley: Uhmmm. . . . Might JUST fit. . . Doug fits the big concrete block in. Ashley: No. . . Yes. . . No. Doug lets the big concrete block drop and gets splashed. Ashley: Hee hee hee. You two are a riot.
Enjoy your great attitude with everything you take on. Thanks for sharing your adventures, and DIY life with us all. Teaching patience one video at a time. So much better than TV. JUST Keep being you.
I really love that you think outside the box! It’s almost a necessary talent when you are renovating an old structure you have to be constantly on your toes and ready to spring into action on an unexpected and unpredictable situation! Great job! Your piers are looking awesome!
Hi Friends, I really like the color you got for the ceiling!!! I can't wait to see what color you will paint the walls!!! And WOW it really brightened up the room already!!! Where there's a well (will) there's a way . . . . just had to go there, lol. Great job Olive, I mean Doug, lol !!! Take care & stay safe. Hugs n love!!!
Wow you really amaze us with all you accomplish in every video. Looking forward to more. I do worry with Maverick playing so close to the pond. He is so inquisitive I hope he stays safe. Love that boy and his love for his DADA. The trampoline is real fun for all of you too. Be safe and happy.
When I read the title of this video before watching I became physically ill. I thought you had painted the ceiling and then had a roof leak! While I was so sorry to see you had a leak at your water source, the fact that you had planned to make repairs there and it was Not the new painted ceiling brought me such relief!!! I see in the comments that there are others like me that are amazed by your resourcefulness but I'm just going to say it again. Good on you Ashlie for thinking of the honey barrel as the perfect form for the well tank stand! What a caterpillar that was Bell! So beautiful in it's way. I wonder what it will turn into? Nature is just the absolute Greatest Thing! As always, know that you guys are my Favorite youtube family and I love you all.
I am thrilled at how calm you guys are. My husband is like you, calm and resourceful. I, on the other hand, am chicken little... the sky is falling, the sky is falling! It does no good and I don't feel better but I do it anyway. 😁 So glad you are prepared and take it all in stride. Well done you. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Love watching your program . You do such good work and I must say you all look so much happier down south so that's awesome and that's a big deal , being happy . Keep up the great work and cannot wait to see what you do next , A Canadian fan
I always keep an eye out on a daily basis for your video's . That colour vanilla looks terrific ....... Bit of a strain on the neck nothing a good massage won't fix 🙂 Looking amazing
What a great idea to put your tank on. What about building a flower box high enough to cover the drum? I hate to say I laughed out loud when you dropped that brick in the drum and the water splashed. If anything, a mud bath can be good for the skin. It’s great to see Ashley on the trampoline.
So good to see you twice a week , soldiering on , meeting challenges and overcoming them . The ground seems pretty good by the way , fairly well dried out by the look of things . That didn’t take on long at all . Some wood really does need painting , the ceiling looks very nice .
Being flexible and able to adjust to the unexpected are great traits and I think you have them in spades, Doug. I've always appreciated your ability to think outside the box, create new ways of doing things and simply putting into action things you dream up in your mind. You really have your hands full with this house but you are making great progress. I'm enjoying watching your children grow and explore, too.
There are caterpillars that sting in Louisiana, it was bad they would build huge nests up in trees and thousands of them would fall out and on top of you. You'll see trees with aluminum foil or a paint stripe across the tree so they don't climb past it.
Living around water...if they haven't been already, get your kids enrolled in water safety and swim classes❗ They need to know what to do around water, and if they get in trouble. 💙
Great job and love the ceiling color. I would probably do it with a brush also mainly because i love to paint. I did the whole outside of my doublewide with a brush. Maverick is becoming quite the artist😀Great work!
I stripped asphalt siding off my house pulled the nails, filled the holes, sanded the whole house then hand brushed the whole out side with primer, then hand brushed Sherman Williams paint with 2 coats. When I sold the house I got my asking price, no problem.
I really like the way the ceiling turned out! Looks like a great idea for the well pump.....things are coming along quite well! Excited for you guys! Peace and blessings!
When you were showing the old rotted out pad the water tank sits on, I felt so proud of myself when I immediately thought "concrete!" LOL. I have learned some stuff from you guys! I love seeing your creative use of materials: the old rubble and the burn barrel as a form. And the new piers and beam look perfect! When you had originally shown how bad that situation was, I thought it was a deal-breaker, yet you took care of it. Great job!
Doug and Ashley I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more resourceful and hard-working couple then you two are. ❤️
I agree 100%
Love this family. They are really great people. ❤️🥰
I was worried too. He is so precious and so vulnerable to snakes, alligators, spiders. There is a saying that goes, Florida wants to kill you. I love it there but it demands some extra caution.

I agree!
So true
Looking good! Doug and Ashley get some shorts, flip flops and tank tops! You will love Florida.
Love to see Maverick in his red wellies. He reminds me of Christopher Robin.
If everyone worked as hard as you guys, the world would be in better shape.
A lot of us do and maybe even harder this is there job
@@ratj4715 I know a lot of people also work hard. Was not trying to take away from them (or you) Please don’t take offense.

Maverick did an amazing job with his drawing for his age he is going to take after his sister

Got a chuckle seeing Maverick with his hand on his hip when he's watching dad. :) It was so cute!
I agree, I had to laugh at his stance, with his hand on his hip.
your son - such a boss! he supervises with his hands on his hip! just precious!
Maverick is already starting to become an artist like Belle!! That is very good for his age.
This is the first time I saw you paint something without gutting it.
While watching Doug cut the bottom off the barrel , There was a shot of your little guy standing way back but, I noticed he was standing just like Doug does. I just started watching you guys. Been very nice to see a young couple do good. And your right about living up north the six months of cold does us all a disfavor.

But we are getting on in our years and will need help soon or later and our Kids are all still working. We can't be having them go back and forth between Minnesota and Florida. I love watching your family and I used to love the trampoline also. In fact when the grand children got theirs I was in there with them . I think I was 58 at the time fun.

Loving that off white color with a pinch of sheen on it. Looking fabulous!!
Thanks for sharing your drawing, Maverick! I love your scarecrow with the creepy face and the birds flying far away.
I too have seen those big fuzzy caterpillars here in Michigan, but only smaller versions. I bet it is ready to form his cocoon, like Belle said.

Love that shade of white. It reminds me of a button mushroom. I think Ashley is having more fun on that trampoline 😂.
Hi Doug & Ashley plus Belle & Lit Mav, I think that paint is a great pic in lighting up that room👍Luv that picture Maverick.❤️

It’s amazing how you guys do the work and film it as you do it then edit it then upload it, just the video work alone is tedious, so thank you for sharing your world again and again with us:) And I like the way you add in the family having fun together, and Maverick’s drawing:)God Bless
Yep, we were told that new wells here have to extend at least 13" above ground. Thank you :)
Superb innovation. I have found that the Valspar Marque Primer/paint is worth the cost for my 93 year old
house and my 70 year old body. Makes painting so much smoother with great results. I have heard that
spraying a mixture of borax and water on wood can protect it from the elements and termites. Maverick
is such a big help and his art is so creative. Belle is so precious.
Ashley, I so enjoy seeing you smile and having fun. The trampoline is cool for the whole family. Smart idea to elevate the tank and fix the wiring. 😊
Doug, you can get Quikrete self leveling sealant to seal the gap around the concrete in the barrel.
Old houses have many surprises, you two are handling it like pros. You have the right attitudes for this and you’re a blessing to watch. Thank you for sharing you good and bad that you encounter.
Doug & Ash - Good video! I liked how you are hiding the broken blocks. Keep up the good work!
God Blessed you with ingenuity.
Great job again. Painting and barrel concrete stand. 👏👏👋👏🙏🙏
Wow! To be so very young Maverick is amazing at his art. Just like Belle. Love it! 🏆🏆
I like the glossy vanilla ceiling!
You take care to!
The paint vanilla steam is a nice color. Doug, you and Ashley are such a good team, perfected.
Doug and Ashley... the paint looks really good. I like the way the wood grains show thru here and there. I believe that it just adds character to the overall look. I wish I could hear what that sweet boy is saying. What a love he is and so so handsome. I got a big smile seeing Ashley out there having fun on the trampoline. This is good for ALL the family. Will keep you full of joy! Love from Camarillo Grammy.
Awesome idea to use those leftover broken cement bricks. I know you guys are going to find great uses for the rest of them as you get the property fixed up.
Good thing you had the tank on hand. Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches. Glad to see you are all in good spirits, and stay well.
The painted ceiling looks great. Love that the texture of the wood shows through. Great use of the broken concrete in your new well platform. It's like hügelkultur for concrete (rather than a raised vegetable bed). Glad you were planning to replace the well/pressure tank anyway. Using the metal barrel as your concrete form was ingenuous. Great thinking Ashley. .. . . Doug: Do you think this'll fit in there?
Ashley: Uhmmm. . . . Might JUST fit. . .
Doug fits the big concrete block in.
Ashley: No. . . Yes. . . No.
Doug lets the big concrete block drop and gets splashed.
Ashley: Hee hee hee.
You two are a riot.
Wow! What a great start you have made! That house is going to be amazing when its finished and you have many months of content for TH-cam.
You're so tidy when you paint!! I usually slop more paint around than I get on the walls!!
Enjoy your great attitude with everything you take on. Thanks for sharing your adventures, and DIY life with us all. Teaching patience one video at a time. So much better than TV. JUST Keep being you.
I really love that you think outside the box! It’s almost a necessary talent when you are renovating an old structure you have to be constantly on your toes and ready to spring into action on an unexpected and unpredictable situation! Great job! Your piers are looking awesome!
Hi Friends, I really like the color you got for the ceiling!!! I can't wait to see what color you will paint the walls!!! And WOW it really brightened up the room already!!! Where there's a well (will) there's a way . . . . just had to go there, lol. Great job Olive, I mean Doug, lol !!! Take care & stay safe. Hugs n love!!!
KER Splash !!! Hahahahaha always entertaining, glad you leave those parts in your videos, keeping it real !
Wow you really amaze us with all you accomplish in every video. Looking forward to more. I do worry with Maverick playing so close to the pond. He is so inquisitive I hope he stays safe. Love that boy and his love for his DADA. The trampoline is real fun for all of you too. Be safe and happy.
Everything is coming together. Its a good thing you already had that tank! The concrete base is a great idea. Have a great day! :)
When I read the title of this video before watching I became physically ill. I thought you had painted the ceiling and then had a roof leak! While I was so sorry to see you had a leak at your water source, the fact that you had planned to make repairs there and it was Not the new painted ceiling brought me such relief!!!
I see in the comments that there are others like me that are amazed by your resourcefulness but I'm just going to say it again. Good on you Ashlie for thinking of the honey barrel as the perfect form for the well tank stand!
What a caterpillar that was Bell! So beautiful in it's way. I wonder what it will turn into? Nature is just the absolute Greatest Thing!
As always, know that you guys are my Favorite youtube family and I love you all.
I am thrilled at how calm you guys are. My husband is like you, calm and resourceful. I, on the other hand, am chicken little... the sky is falling, the sky is falling! It does no good and I don't feel better but I do it anyway. 😁 So glad you are prepared and take it all in stride. Well done you. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Love watching your program . You do such good work and I must say you all look so much happier down south so that's awesome and that's a big deal , being happy . Keep up the great work and cannot wait to see what you do next , A Canadian fan
Thanks! And yep, we're loving it here in the south!
Canadian here, too! Though, I’m hoping to move down South at some point..so tired of dreary winters.
I always keep an eye out on a daily basis for your video's .
That colour vanilla looks terrific .......
Bit of a strain on the neck nothing a good massage won't fix 🙂
Looking amazing
Thankyou 💛
The ceiling looks great, a huge improvement to brighten everything up. The barrel was a great idea!
What a great idea to put your tank on. What about building a flower box high enough to cover the drum? I hate to say I laughed out loud when you dropped that brick in the drum and the water splashed. If anything, a mud bath can be good for the skin. It’s great to see Ashley on the trampoline.
Appreciate you all. Love waiting for your videos.
So good to see you twice a week , soldiering on , meeting challenges and overcoming them . The ground seems pretty good by the way , fairly well dried out by the look of things . That didn’t take on long at all . Some wood really does need painting , the ceiling looks very nice .
Maverick's crow is so, so cute. I'm amazed that he draws realistic pictures at his age.
Being flexible and able to adjust to the unexpected are great traits and I think you have them in spades, Doug. I've always appreciated your ability to think outside the box, create new ways of doing things and simply putting into action things you dream up in your mind. You really have your hands full with this house but you are making great progress. I'm enjoying watching your children grow and explore, too.
I love how you know what you’re talking about. You’re a real handyman 👍
There are caterpillars that sting in Louisiana, it was bad they would build huge nests up in trees and thousands of them would fall out and on top of you.
You'll see trees with aluminum foil or a paint stripe across the tree so they don't climb past it.
Love to see Ashley reliving old trampoline memories👍
What a yummy color! No wonder it’s called vanilla steam. It looks identical to cake batter 😋 goes on like a dream! Nice color
Great little splash of Life 🤣 Never Ever know what's going to happen day to day!! Great idea with the barrel Ms Ashley!! Great job Mr Doug!!
Living around water...if they haven't been already, get your kids enrolled in water safety and swim classes❗
They need to know what to do around water, and if they get in trouble. 💙
💖
That base ain't going no where!! 😆 I'm loving watching your guys progress on this new house, thanks for the great content 👍😊
Great idea, Ashley! Maverick really did a good job on that picture for his age. Cool caterpillar, too!
Great job and love the ceiling color. I would probably do it with a brush also mainly because i love to paint. I did the whole outside of my doublewide with a brush.
Maverick is becoming quite the
artist😀Great work!
I stripped asphalt siding off my house pulled the nails, filled the holes, sanded the whole house then hand brushed the whole out side with primer, then hand brushed Sherman Williams paint with 2 coats. When I sold the house I got my asking price, no problem.
I’m continually surprised at how innovative you are at addressing problems. Kudos to you and Ashley!
Looks like a good creamy leveling paint. Much brighter and cleaner appearance.
It's looking good--the concrete, the ceiling, the blocks--keep up the good work!
Y'all are making some awesome progress. I feel your pain, can't get one project done before needing to move on to another. For me it's farm life.
Love the ceiling color!
I really like the way the ceiling turned out! Looks like a great idea for the well pump.....things are coming along quite well! Excited for you guys! Peace and blessings!
When you were showing the old rotted out pad the water tank sits on, I felt so proud of myself when I immediately thought "concrete!" LOL. I have learned some stuff from you guys! I love seeing your creative use of materials: the old rubble and the burn barrel as a form. And the new piers and beam look perfect! When you had originally shown how bad that situation was, I thought it was a deal-breaker, yet you took care of it. Great job!
GREAT Job Guy's on the well and ceiling, the paint really brought life back to it
