    I am a potter and it takes me all day to make handles for a baking dish, create a lid and secure everything so the top stays on, making sure there are no cracks all the while trying to keep symmetry and balance for the actual piece SO, all these years watching you build and build and build and build continues to inspire me to take my time, every piece of the puzzle is just as important as the one before and the one after🤗beautiful work on the outdoor to be screened in kitchen Shawn😎Happy Father’s Day💫

    Happy Father’s Day Shawn and to all the fathers. While watching the video, I realized you must spend more time planning, recording, processing etc the videos you post, than the time actual work takes. We appreciate your efforts sir. The level of quality videos you provide us is outstanding. I hope that you, your wife, daughter enjoy many years decades on this lovely property.

  • @skygerspacher6891
    @skygerspacher6891 ปีที่แล้ว +57

    One of the things I like is watching you solve different problems that initially seem insurmountable, at least to me. Like when you hooked up that cable over the top of the cabin to help you hoist those massive logs by yourself. I didn't know how the hell a person, alone, could manage that. Or now lifting that massive timber frame up into place. I like how you use your brain to figure out each issue and there always seems to be a way.

    This video was absolutely amazing. Your filming, hard work building with such detail, showing work on the cabin inside, fantastic canoe water trip, in your garden, the aerial moose and beaver, fantastic music. Beautiful combination of nature and your work. It conveyed a peace and appreciation of living in the wilderness. Loved every second. But then, I really have enjoyed your videos. Every video just seems to get better. And of course, Calli. Good dog 😊
