The guys right about the mechanical but keep in mind, if your doing forced air, your going to need room for the 6 in. pipe. Please use solid pipe cover with insulation above the basement ceiling. Northern beans with ham and bean seasoning. Gary, your doing great.
Glad that you had a wonderful Christmas. I spent mine in the hospital as had a lung biopsy and my lung deflated so they put me on a inflated machine of which took awhile. But in the meantime I had the DT's missing youtube. An other words I missed my youtube families. I look forward to seeing what y'all get done next year on the mansion. Enjoyed watching and thanks. Love y'all
Mel I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your understanding on my sister and how I felt like God was telling me to spend time with her and explain to her that I know she was hurting and she was grieving for her husband and I told her that if she felt like crying then cry and to not hold it in because that would be the worst thing she could do and she knows that I am just a phone call away but she was gonna have to face it to be able to get through I love her and she knows I’ll be here anytime she feels like talking. Mel I love all of you guys and I hope that the kids are doing well
Usually, it’s plumbing first then AC heating and then your electric electric can go around harder fixtures or bigger fixtures where if you get it pulled in they’re tight the other things won’t move so remember that when you start doing your in wall appliance stuff

Mel I love all of you guys and I hope that the kids are doing well and tell Gary that I have missed hearing him say “later later” and Mel he is so sweet to me and I love it when I see him show his love for you and the kids
Mel, it's just the opposite. The small stuff on the inside usually takes a long time. My parents never got there walk in closet painted. They passed away and I couldn't bring myself to paint before we sold it.
Don't know about your area, but in my area, some roofers won't install metal they didn't order. You might want to check out that aspect when checking on hiring installers, and/or ordering metal.
Hi guys!! As far as getting a video out for us I say just relax!! Spend the time with your kids and family while they are on break. Time goes by so quickly and in a blink you can miss a lot. Take care!! 💜
Best Wishes for a Wonderful Holiday Time. Happy to hear you had such a Fantastic Christmas. Also glad to hear you Accomplished what you set out to do. Love and Many Blessings
Merry Merry! Nice hearing Gary enjoying family time! So exciting. I am putting ERV in my home now on all 4 floors & a full house dehumidifier. Glad Gary is putting these safe guards in place. Sent a gift on your last video🙏🙏🙏Blessings
Auntie Laura, Thank you so much for your kindness and your generosity! You didn't have to do that but we appreciate it so much. I hope your ERV system works very well! We are looking forward to getting a system like that for our whole house. Soon! One day at a time.
Trust me, when that time comes, you won't care, as a matter of fact, you will be telling them Don't wake us up until 7am. Lol that's what I told my 17 1/2 year old daughter, but she wasn't having it. Lol. But I did end up waking up before everyone and woke up the house because Christmas is my favorite holiday 🤗
Before ordering your metal, see what type of price you can get from a company that does roofs. They will have to carry a warranty on their work so if you buy the material, they may not warranty the product if you buy another type metal. I hope you can get it done for you. Big headache off yourselves. Thank You for allowing us to be a part of your family.🙂
🎄 Merry Christmas, Its so good that you all had a good Christmas..I have not seen the inside of the tree house .I guess I missed a video it might have been on ..please let me know where I can find it ..thanks
So glad to hear that y'all had a great Christmas. You guys are always so driven and focused, don't feel guilty for taking a break. Enjoy your family time. Happy new year!
Yeah your right humidity and moisture in atmosphere if it’s too damp it will Conversation under the roof It could be dripping on your drywall when you put drywall in And mess your drywall up when you put drywall in
I am so happy you all had a fantastic Christmas! I cannot wait until you year end in review, it is always fun to see where you were and where you are now. You do a fabulous job on those videos Mel. Happy New Year!🎉 Good Luck in the new year 2025!🍀
but business usually have good end of the sales this last week to get rid of merchadise to prevent them from being taxed on it at the first of the yr inventory
Merry Christmas. I’m so glad you took time for yourselves and enjoyed your holiday. Family time is the best time. Thank you for sharing today. One day at a time it will all come together. Have an awesome day. Take care from Cape Cod💚💚💚💚💚🎄
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁. Glad y’all had a great day. Ours was so nice and very peaceful. My daughter was back home after moving away five years ago. I am very blessed. 🙏 glad you made progress on the roof before the rain came! God bless!
Glad to see everything coming together for yall it’s lookin great. Thanks for the videos enjoy them very much even if I’m not part of them fam I enjoy all the content yall do. Have a wonderful holiday season and be careful. Again thank you, Kent
I personally hope that 25 is a better year. So much stress lately. Enjoy your kids while they are young. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you😊 and the whole family.
❤ JUST REMEMBER HEAT RISES. WHEN YOU CUT A HOLE IN THE BASEMENT FOR THE STAIRS ALL OF THE HEAT IN THE BASEMENT WILL GO UP INTO THE HOUSE AND MAKE IT COLDER IN THE BASEMENT. ❤
Hi, i am glad you had a great Christmas, my sister and nephew came over it was nice seeing her so happy. You really do need those stairs, always safety first but then you know that. Unlike you l take my tree down after new years day because that is my birthday. Thank you for letting us share your journey l really enjoy the videos. And l agree there is nothing like seeing your children's faces light up with happiness, have a great day see ya later. Love from the UK.
Your making great headway, stick to it. As I have read and it seemed so true, "Christmas is never the same after your mother passes away" We use to bring my mother to stay with us from Nov.1st -the end of March so she had the holidays and all the birthdays of the grandkids. She would wrap all the presents and bake Oh my Gosh. She also taught the girls how to quilt. We really miss her. I have done most all my drywall over the last 40 years, but as I'm older now and I have friends who own a drywall company, I hire them and what took me a week or two they did in 2 days. 1st day (hanging it and taping it and mudding), day 2 (sanding and touching it up and Texturing everything). Another friend owns a roofing company, and watching them work gives me goosebumps, They are so fast and the team work is amazing. Sounds like the Kiddos had a great time.
Gary if you are using the same type of roofing that Lumnah Acres used you might want to hire it done. 1) you would have some type of warranty. 2) They had a special tool that tightened up the seams I really appreciated the looks and the type of roof they put on. I always said if I built a house of my own I would have every room on a separate breaker that way if someone blew a breaker it would not put other areas out. As a bonus if you give a child a time out kick their breaker off and they would definitely have time to think of the errors of their ways LOL. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
I knew you would get it done! LOL You can rest this week right? Yeah right......don't think Gary can rest. LOL At any rate, hope ya have an awesome week, and a very Happy New Year, I hear there's a big party with a bonfire on C'mon Mountain! LOL. You are a blessing for me too! Love watching ya.
Merry Christmas, Mel and Gary, Julia, Scarlett, Abe. I'm happy to hear your family had a wonderful Christmas God bless , I also had a wonderful Christmas too! ❤🤗Jan
Hi you two hope you had a great Christmas with family and friends. I hope your kids enjoyed all the gifts they've receive from family and friends. I hope you picked up the package I sent the family from Me. Do you ever show what was received? I see Mike and Lyssa do that wasn't sure if you did. I didn't send them anything this time but will in tone. I hope the kids like what was sent including Wyatt. Thanks Cathie!
This was the first time for not waking us up early, too. Congratulations on getting the next few steps being done. Enjoy some downtime. The next few days are clean-up and put away. But enjoy the fruits of your work.
I play call of duty and counter strike am in my mid 50s my son who’s in his late 20s he has his son my grandson play call duty we have. A ball playing that game we have fun then watching football
I was the worse one at Christmas. I would wake my 3 girls and husband up at 4:00 am. They would get so mad at me. I just loved Christmas. Now they talk about it all the time. All of them are in their 50’s now.
@RealTalkwithSLR I'm not jealous, I have no need for that stuff. I jump in ice tubs in winter here in Colorado. I would never be able to wear heated jackets. I use a pitcher with a built-in filter for water. I probably paid 30 bucks for pitcher, and it works. It just seems as though you all get the same stuff, kinda interesting. Worked retail back breaking jobs for 40 years. Unfortunately, we didn't have luxury of your jobs. I'm not saying it's easy, but you are on your time not given a time.

Great news!! Your welcome!! We did it was small
Gary there's still much to do on the mud room. At least the major framing is finished.
Nice to hear your plans for the future guys . 💕😊

Did whole framily get one like the pergola and heated jackets.😂
Don't be jealous 🤣

Split Pea Soup with diced ham and dumplings !!!
I would think steps up first!
Make sure. You guys get a license contractor for your hvac I'm a contractor in Texas and Arkansas also has license contractor s
Mike from DD5 is the hvac man!! I'm sure he will show them the ropes.
Your talking stairs, don’t forget to consider low rise in the steep. I use 6” very comfortable dot older people. Your not always going to be young…..
And I haven't seen it yet The mudroom
I wish you have a wonderful 2025 year an God bless you 🙏
