Hi Max & Occy, What an amazing deck! Looking forward to seeing the completion your your beautiful deck design. I love all of your videos and of course your best mate Occy. God speed in all of your ambitious endeavors. You are very inspiring. All my best, Regina B.
Max! You mentioned in your last vid that you're happier than you've been in a long time, buddy IT SHOWS! This was such a fun, happy video to watch, great to see your Mum at the end too, she's such a beauty.
That is all awesome, and to see you and your Mom is absolutely wonderful. As a Mom, I know she is incredibly proud of you and all you have accomplished! Enjoy your visit!!
What a beautiful deck! Simon, you did a wonderful job helping Max. How a follower becomes a helping friend. Wish you a very good time with your mom! Lots of hugs to Occy ❤
I am singularly impressed with your vision, your tenacity, and your love of life. Your project will stun even you when you are done. Making solid new friendships along the way is leading to a better life for you and Occy going forward. Your Mom has an amazing son.
I've been a silent watcher for a very very very long time, and your video's just bring me so so much joy, have a constant smile on my face watching your adventures and projects. What an amazing life you have built for yourself... thanks for bringing such happiness and peace to your viewers screens!
Such a special video, Max. Well done to you and your new friend Simon for creating an original deck. Your mum’s arrival had me in tears. This is so special. Two thumbs up.
Thank you Simon! Helping Max on this phenomenal project as he develops his dream home is greatly appreciated! This is an exciting improvement to quality of life and gives you so much more flexibility while you renovate! Much love from Florida - Nana Rock ⭐️
I actually teared up with joy when your Mom arrived. A huge big up to Simon for helping out. Fabulous video Max, thank you for sharing. XO from Colorado
Epic deck! We are intersecting projects again Max. All of my deck materials were ordered on Friday and work begins tomorrow! The only difference is mine will be portable (no concrete in the ground) because I don't want to pay to pull a permit when I haven't decided where I want it to be permanently located. Post covid brought out all of the inspectors! so I kissed a bunch of cash goodbye and hired an architect in June so everything will be expensively legal by next year. I also have a "barbie" lol did I spell that right? ready bcz I love to grill and will be putting out my van's solar/waterproof bluetooth speakers and lights. Dance party preparations.
Love that Rixanne! And I actually initially was going to go with more 'portable' footings too. Which are you going with? Did you look at Tuff Blocks? They seem interesting and an easy alternative. Shit yeah! Dance party with a barbie on the side sounds great! May have to steal some inspo from you ; ) 💛
I'm hope you won't give up on the cabin, but you always had the van to lean on. Great deck 👏 here is to tiny home living 🥳 And the best part, seeing the love between you and your mom, made my eyes a bit watery
All your hard work, under Occy’s supervision, is paying off. The deck is beautiful. Take some time to relax and enjoy itwith Occy, knowing you are lucky to have friends willing to help you out.
Bless your big heart Simon. You & Max look like you've known each other all your lives. And Big shoutout to Jack too. Jake is too cute but a lil too hyper for big bro Occy 😂 So excited for you and your sweet mum. Enjoy the visit ❤
22:20 The concrete makes such an awesome sound here. ☺ You and Simon have done an incredible job and I'm so impressed at your "over-engineering". It's a great idea! Occy is the most beautiful boy. You couldn't ask for a better companion. Welcome Max's Mum. ♥
Van cleaning short cuts: Open all of the doors so the breeze can blow the fuzzy things out. Drape the bedding over the backdoors & put all of the dirty dishes on the ground so the dogs will wash them.
What a great bloke Simon is helping you out like that, it restores your faith in humanity., nice work Simon👍 Great progress Max, the decking looks fabulous! 🙂👍👏💕💕
You're one of a kind! The deck build (design, and how fast it was completed) blew me away, and then to learn it was all for your mom at the end was just so sweet. Looking forward to seeing more progress with this build and your house! 😊
What a great park up deck for when you have van life friends visit in the future. It's awesome. Can't wait to see the meditation deck complete. Love your beautiful mum. She was part of the inspiration for me to stop dyeing my hair and go natural during lockdown and I am now a very happy silver sister thanks to her. 😊
Simon is a champion and a great friend to have. Occy' new nick name should be Jungle Boy. Thanks for being such a promoter of caring for your mental health.... it's so important and the loss of it makes almost every aspect of your life seem so much harder. Deck is looking pretty spiffy! Hi Mum.
This is a very timely video for me. I am just finishing my ambulance build and am about to begin my search for a piece of property. Plan to steal a lot of ideas from you. Enjoy your mom, I just lost mine in March and the world is just less beautiful without her in it.
Simon is such a blessing to getting your deck build going. What a good person! Absolutely loving the deck and the view. Beautiful! So happy to see Occy supervising from his very cozy jungle bed. 🤣 Have an amazing visit with your mum and enjoy every moment!
Max I’ve been following you for six years. You bring light to my darkness because I have clinical depression. Do me a favor, cut the mullet. It doesn’t become you.
You sure don’t do anything half assed! Your mom must be so proud of you. What an awesome place for her to visit you, and wake up to having her coffee on that deck with that view and peace. ❤
Amazing Max. It is so beautiful and your jungle boy will love having his deck. Once the shower is in place it will be easier to give Occy a wonderful shower after a hard day being a jungle boy. Enjoy you time with your mom. Simon you are the best to help Max and Occy out. Enjoyed meeting Jake too.
Downloaded Headspace yesterday, started today. Although I have been meditating fir years, I can already feel the benefits of this platform. As a certified Gestalt practitioner, I look forward to sharing this with my clients. Thank you 😊
Wow, Max, what a job you’ve done on the deck. And, how great is Simon, he’s a star 🌟. The deck with the view over the property is stunning. I love how much energy you’re putting in to make your home comfortable and sustainable. Even though you’re tired, how fit are you now with all this physical activity. ❤
Well done Simon. Thank you much for helping Max. Great job. Yes you definitely are a legend. Awesome deck , Max. Occy is going to love it. Thank you for thinking of him getting good access to it..Looks incredible. Your Mum is Beautiful.
WOW ! It’s a masterpiece and you mom!! Oh my gosh, little droplets of water coming from my eyes haha ❤ love to see your mama. I’ll be catching up on the newest video tomorrow. So glad for you Max. It’s coming together so impeccably beautiful and your craftsmanship really shows.
Simon is a rockstar too! I love that you two have connected. You know Max, I believe all of your viewers would be just like Simon and we would all connect. Unfortunately, I am in another country. However, we are there in spirit sitting under the big beautiful fig. The deck is amazing, I love it. Is your outdoor shower going to be like Tyler & Todd's? Theirs is amazing. I knew when you said a you had a special lady coming... I knew it was your mum. For some reason I could see the love coming from you. AND sure enough it was your mum. Nothing like a mother's love. Have fun and give Occy a big hug and kiss.
Indeed OUR most special person. I love Mum as much as you do, well, nearly. From when i first met her in S. America on the Max and Lee channel. Goody, goody. Love you, Mum. Great job on the deck you guys. Awesome.
The decking looks awesome Max , Occy is enjoying it for sure. Huge thank you to Simon for helping you out. So great to see you and your Mom , what a beautiful smile she has when she seen you at the airport. Paws Up 🐾🐾 to you and Occy .. Catch ya on the flip side .. Cheers☕☕☕☕
How do you spell OCD? M.A.X. Love it. You have the knack of climbing into everyone's head and heart Max. The friends who have appeared and assisted you with menial labour during their vac time are incredible keepers. Thanks for your help Simon, another legend appears on the Max and Occy channel! The two of you have made building your deck effortless, and fun. Dig here, dig there, and I don't mean holes. The dawgs are amazing. So well socialized. Occy just proved his superiority over Jake. If something gets to a dog they usually just piss on it, kick up some dust and walk away! Well done Occy. Don't get mad, get even!!! So good to have your mom visiting you. Mothers are the most precious commodity in life!
Thank you to Simon and your neighbor for helping you with your project. Big hello to your mom, too.
Incredible top blokes Simon and your neighbor Max, many riches abound and arrive to you.
❤❤❤❤
The decking came out beautiful!

Max that deck is one of the best idea’s you’ve had and you and Simon took it to another level. Hugs to Occy ❤ Loved seeing your mom again.
Max there is no doubt that the concrete will hold soooo much better since you leveled the top 🤠❤️
😂 I would have troweled them off too! 💖
Your mum must be so proud and what a beautiful place to be able to come to
Such a special video, Max. Well done to you and your new friend Simon for creating an original deck. Your mum’s arrival had me in tears. This is so special. Two thumbs up.

Thank you Simon! Helping Max on this phenomenal project as he develops his dream home is greatly appreciated! This is an exciting improvement to quality of life and gives you so much more flexibility while you renovate! Much love from Florida - Nana Rock ⭐️
I love how Occy takes the stick and chews it to pieces, the elder teaching the young one respect, to be careful.
Amazing!!!!!! Simon you’re awesome for helping Max 🙌🏾 So glad to see Mom ❤
my sentiments exactly.
I actually teared up with joy when your Mom arrived. A huge big up to Simon for helping out. Fabulous video Max, thank you for sharing. XO from Colorado
Thanks Simon for helping our friend. ❤
06:46 Classic Big Brother move, hey Occy? "My stick!" he says. Chomp chomp! That's okay, Jake ... there's plenty to go around. 😊❤

Thanks for the update! It’s so evident that you’re in a great space mentally, emotionally and habitat wise. Well done, so happy for you🤗👏🏻
Thank you so much 💛
Good grief, I’m insomniac, it is 3:02 am on the big island, hawaaian islands, adore your updates...
Max and his Mom are such nice people. It’s great seeing your Mom on the property and with her 2 boys!
I'm hope you won't give up on the cabin, but you always had the van to lean on.
Great deck 👏
here is to tiny home living 🥳
And the best part, seeing the love between you and your mom, made my eyes a bit watery
💛💛
I was hoping it would be your beautiful mom. I see where you get your smile from.
All your hard work, under Occy’s supervision, is paying off. The deck is beautiful. Take some time to relax and enjoy itwith Occy, knowing you are lucky to have friends willing to help you out.
Bless your big heart Simon. You & Max look like you've known each other all your lives. And Big shoutout to Jack too.

3:16 "We're building this deck for Occy." As you should! The real show stealer Love that Occy is finally getting a deck, 100% worth it!
I love your new build and it was such a sweet surprise that it was your mama coming for her first visit to your piece of paradise 💙
Van cleaning short cuts: Open all of the doors so the breeze can blow the fuzzy things out. Drape the bedding over the backdoors & put all of the dirty dishes on the ground so the dogs will wash them.
Wow you both did pretty good at the wood work, your mate did a fantastic job it’s getting there 👍
I love the smell of fresh concrete in the morning! Awesome deck - great job by everyone!
What a great bloke Simon is helping you out like that, it restores your faith in humanity., nice work Simon👍
Great progress Max, the decking looks fabulous! 🙂👍👏💕💕
Max, your mom is as beautiful as your heart is. I hope you enjoy your time together.

Enough now Max, we need some more footage…..holiday time is over we miss you and Occy
Kudos to Simon and your neighbor for help you, and to your mom for providing the impetus for speed!
Hurrah! Your Mom is there! Enjoy every minute of having her there with you, so special.

A bloody strong ‘deck’ LMAO!! You work so hard Max…And new friend Simon IS a LEGEND! Way to go! Nice supervising Occy 🐾🐾
The Aussie accent makes certain words sound... funny. It looks like a strong deck for sure.
Not only the smoothing of the concrete but the whole deck build is extremely satisfying. Do it right and its built for life ❤
Simon is a champion and a great friend to have. Occy' new nick name should be Jungle Boy. Thanks for being such a promoter of caring for your mental health.... it's so important and the loss of it makes almost every aspect of your life seem so much harder. Deck is looking pretty spiffy! Hi Mum.
