You're just starting your TH-cam journey! How exciting that I caught you early! I love watching homesteaders just starting their adventure and watching your channel grow. It makes me feel like a friend. You have a very nice presence and are enjoyable to watch!! Good luck!
Hi Rebekah and Brian Nice video !! The work on an acreage will never get completed ! Especially with a forest around you and wanting to do a fair bit of heating with wood ! I have a 18 ft fiberglass starcraft boat 175 hp it gets us around nicely and is big enough for the lakes that we go on !! A suggestion on covering your boat !!! Considering ...from what i could see or Rather not see ...the 2×4s on the windshield...some Americans call them windscreens ! LOL You don't have them supported to the floor !!! With the angle of the windshield it doesn't have a lot of strength ! With the amount of wet snow that you get you may be doing windshield work in spring !! Maybe make an effort to clear the snow off as it comes !! The plane that flew over ...was that about as big as they get at your place ?? Maybe it was kinda like a Dash 8 ???😊 I enjoy your videos ! Have a good day 😊
Hey Ken, So glad you’re enjoying our antics. I did support the center post to the floor, just probably didn’t document that as well. It’s always a balance of filming the experience of our activities and making a “how to” video. Sometimes I miss the mark. The boat is parked down in the valley for the winter so getting down to it to brush off the snow might be an issue. I’ll keep it in mind as the winter progresses. I don’t know much about planes short of the fact that the tundra tires make it hard for them to take off so we really head those motors working. We really do appreciate your watching and your feedback.
Thanks Riversbend, trust me, she’s not very good at typing. She is a herding dog but we don’t own any sheep so she has to herd us, the tractor, chickens and on one occasional the neighbor or kids.

Yes, we've got plans to shore up the deck. Planning to use the helical piles ....If you look at the week that "The Shop Is Sinking" you'll see the plan. The boat needs all new interior that we'll get to next spring but I do like the carpet on the corners idea. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks so much for the kind words, we’re happy to have you along and hope you enjoy our antics along the way.
enjoyed visiting again.............familiar territory. HI Izzy
Let's not tell Rebekah that Izzy gets more hellos than she does.....
Jan. 17, 2018 was the last picture of snow I had here in mid-Ga. LOLOLOL. Snow shovels aren't hot sellers down here. Really, snow removable anything.
I hope Georgia is treating you well these days. I get it, Wwe don’t have much need for air conditioners up here.
Hi Rebekah and Brian

A suggestion on covering your boat !!!
Considering ...from what i could see or Rather not see ...the 2×4s on the windshield...some Americans call them windscreens ! LOL

@FrontierFamilyAlaska Nice text ! Thanks 😁
That dog is bred to type. He is fine. He is a herding dog. You fail him when you do not train him.

Oh By the Way
ADVICE like Comments and Interactions of ALL kinds
MEANT to HELP Not ( P L E H )
its the Crystal ball of hindsight
coming back Full Circle
Like the 20/20 which was supposed to be a 50/50 balance
Never reaches 100% of the GOAL
Yet always will Fall short no matter how tall any person is
here on
earth
or with there head
up in the clouds
