    David, you were not cheated outta happiness, you were spared from what obviously was to be a life of hell. We don't know what really lies ahead for us but God does. Trust him, he has got bigger & better in store for you, C'mon! You are an amazing inspiration to tens-of-thousands of us that watch & call you a friend. You are the most positive man I have EVER known. I could see your broken heart...I guess that's a Momma thing, since my son Michael is your age, lol. Momma's just know stuff. Stay positive Bubba.

    I do hope you heal soon and please know the tiny house is coming along wonderfully. You are doing a good job. I would hope in the future you might consider adding onto the tiny house, you do have plumbing, shower and toilet, a washer dryer hookup ..extra space is all you would need for any upcoming children and grandchildren and other company you have to live comfortably..You are doing a great job ..❤❤❤

    David, my husband and I generally just watch the videos and don't comment, but I wanted to pass along our empathy. For what it is worth, we each went through very difficult ends of our previous relationships before finding each other 7 years ago. And now we are so blessed to be building our lives together. Something (and someone) better for you is out there. God will be there through your walk. Wishing you the best.

    Like the background and the way you did this video. The narration and story telling is a great change for you. You could do this method every once in a while to change it up. This is one of your best videos ever!!!!
    You did a great job on the mudding and taping. Good job fixing the ceiling gaps in the drywall. That is a nice generator. I hope it works better for you. I like the goat pen fix and Eclipse having a job. Unfortunate for the rabbit but it happens. You are doing what you can. Ryder is so loving!! You need that! Have a great Sunday! Looking forward to your dreams coming true!!

    For your rabbits - freeze water in pop bottles and put in the pen with them. Switch them out twice a day. It helps them keep cool and will reduce your heat-related deaths.

      I've been watching the channel for a good while, and I'm so sorry you are going through this on your breakup. Don't get disheartened in this. It's very rough, but what doesn't break us makes us stronger and wiser. You're not alone either. You have family and friends that think the world of you. Also, I'm proud of the fact that you have Rider and that you think the world of him. Rider has really has been a big help to you. Rider is a lot like our black cat that we have, plus the one we had for 17 years thats no longer with us. You have shown how these beautiful black cats have such loving personalities and make wonderful additions to the family. Youre a good ambassador for for black cats. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos of your life on your mountain.

    Mini splits come precharged for 25 feet of line set. No soldering is required since it’s a self contained unit. You shouldn’t have needed to draw a vacuum since the system want opened. Adding that suction line wasn’t necessary unless it needs recharged in the future because it only comes with high side connection is the liquid side. That’s A/C101

    Look David, first-time viewer here. Folks have been saying you have dodged a bullet. Indeed. I will add this; You were 100% in this for the "we" of your homestead plans, goals and objectives. Homesteading, off-grid type living is not for the faint of heart. It requires teamwork and commitment (as you already know). Someone on any team that is more about the "me" than the "we" is not just dodging a bullet, its a lifelong win.

I am glad you are sticking to the off grid living and living tiny. Taking one step forward and three steps back seem to happen a lot in life. I am hoping life will take a change that allows me to live my dream. Love the looking at the positive and finding a positive everyday.
    Good luck, We never know what god has for us around the corner. Most times it was not what we wanted but is 10 times better for us in the long run. Our biggest issue as people is getting past the disappoint of not getting what we thought we wanted or needed. :) stay positive and everything will work out for you. :)

    I'm so very proud of you David and the way you are handling all the things from last week. I always say, if there's nothing you can do about a thing or a situation, just forget about it and leave it for God. Takes a hole load of bs off the mind. Can't wait to see what's next.

    I feel sorry for Eclipse though. Dog needs to either get it’s amazing fun life back like she had it with you David, like Ryder still has it or at least be around other dogs not goats. 😂
    She just doesn’t seem as happy anymore and she’d probably bring you a lot of comfort again. Praying for you David , love ur show.

      Omg. I am so glad that I am not the only one that sees Eclipse's spirit is crushed. She looks terrible in that goats pin. She's not a damn goat and could be hurt with those horns. He got her spayed and then locked her up. 😡😡

    Every day you need to change bunny water otherwise they will be left with warm water during a heat wave. They need COLD CLEAN water. AND you should also be giving them fresh clover or greens every day.

    About your rabbits. That metal roof has got to be like being boiled in an oven. Maybe this would be a simple solution. A thick piece of Styrofoam on top of the existing roof and a larger piece of metal on top with more overhang all screwed together. Oreo cookie roof. You wouldn't have to modify what you have. It should keep them much cooler IMO.

    Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. Sometimes the Lord shuts the door, but then he opens a window. So wait for that window to open. Continue on with your positive attitude and setting up your Homestead. I’m so happy you have family right down the road from you.

    Keep your chin up David. I was told this after having my first heartbreak. The right person will appear when you less expect it too. 2 months after that break up I met my husband we have been together for 29 years and married for 21. Life throws you curve balls sometimes we have to learn how to bob and weave.

    Thank goodness for Rider. If you could guarantee me getting a cat just like Rider I’d get a cat in a second!
    I hope Solar panels are coming up soon on the to do list. I know, I know, everything costs money, but it would be a blessing to have two good sources of power. Simple living Alaska recently upgraded their solar and did it on top of a container. They have a unique sun and weather situation out there, where the best sun of the day means their panels are almost straight up and down. That also eliminates most of the problems of any snow accumulating. I know you don’t get much snow but you do have tall trees which give you only a certain time for sun. You should look at their build.
    I’ve had many struggles in life. Like you I try to handle them with grace. Someone once said, don’t you just want to kill him for breaking your heart? I said, no one is worth going to prison and it’s been him and God now.
    They were puzzled by my sincere ability to let it go but I figure I’ve only got a set amount of years on this earth and I’d rather not sit around being bitter. So I really appreciate seeing you trying to find your happiness in a challenging time which would beat a lesser man down.
    Keep busy, it helps. Winter is coming! ❤

    My daughter's rabbit died of having large teeth. Many rabbits's teeth grow and grow. They need a block to grind their teeth on to keep them filed. Yea, our other rabbit died of a heart attack because our neighbor's dog jumped over our fence to try to get at it. Anyway, so heartbreaking for the breakup. All the hardships you are going through, makes my hardships fade away. Oh and, all that salt and sugar in your mixed drink you got there, ain't good for high blood pressure, just saying. Thanks for sharing this video and doing your best to be positive through it all. Gives others hope to move on in life with all the lifes ups and unexpected downs.

    Hey Dave, it is a hard knock, given the other issues going on. I have been through this but much more complicated. It’s ok to get emotional and express them. I also agree that knocking and ripping the other a new one just isn’t any good for anyone, that would load more emotion into the situation and make the grieving longer. Lovin Ryder, take care.

The move in situation may not have worked but better to find out now. Not everyone wants their lives on display on TH-cam. Your person will come to you. When you least expect it.😊 You can't keep a good man down.
