    That Porter truly is a good guy. His overall knowledge of the Hands-On trades that he's been teaching y'all along the way is just another wonderful part of your videos. So happy y'all found each other. 🙂

      I agree, I'd love to follow him and his business/life, he is kewl. HOWEVER, video edit skills take time to develop, even with help....and very stressful, fun stress - but not for everyone. He seems pretty laid back, it would be interesting to see how he would even tackle all that.

    As a couple of content creators who are trying to make "feel good" videos, this channel has been 24k gold for us. Its very very very difficult to keep your videos fast-paced/casual and yet make them this feel good/ Happy. But you guys do this time and again. We have learnt so much by just decoding your edits. It feels great to be living in times where we can see such good content made by regular ppl. You know...Ppl you could randomly run into and be friends with on a normal day. Big hugs from India ❤❤❤❤❤

    When you are ready to pull wires through the conduit do the shop vac trick. Tie a small part (amount depends on size of conduit) of a plastic bag to a string line. Use the vac to suck the string through the conduit. Then attach a rope strong enough to pull the wire and bring it through the conduit. Attach a wire pulling basket to the rope and pull the wire through.

    We ran all of our utilities underground in conduit as well. When we fished to run the cable, we added a piece of nylon rope in each conduit and left it in place. The rope is 2x the length of the run, so if we ever want to run another line we already have the fish line in place. Makes life so much easier in the future. Keep up the good work!

    Congrats on your new Delta Ecoflow (and everything else that just came in!). You're probably already aware, but those expensive portable solar panels that you mounted to the roof aren't meant to stay out in the weather - they'll degrade faster and shouldn't be left out in the rain. You can get some cheaper rigid glass panels and put them up there and they'll do a much better job and last a good 25 years or so. Best of luck to you all and a big hello to Porter too!

I love how at the end, this was like a Marvel Superhero mashup with everyone celebrating the end of summer. How much fun was had? Love your videos and love the progress from last year when the property was abandoned and had so much brush. Now you’ve made it into a home for you and the dogs plus you can entertain any time you like! Love you both!!!

    Hi Guys, quite an adventure with the driveway access but of course you succeeded. This reminds me of when I got transferred from Montreal to Port Hastings on Cape Breton. The house we bought needed some gravel for the driveway so I ordered it and was promissed delivery real soon.
    However, weeks went by and several phone calls ;after a moth it arrived and. while discussing with the contractor where we had moves from, he replied with some sage advice. "I Recommend you throw away your watch and get a real good calendar" .We loved our 4 year stay in Cape Briton and found the people wonderful once you sorted out which Macdonald was which and why they all had at least two names plus Macdonald.
    Greatvlog ladies and friends,you continue to amaze me, well done.
    Take care have fun ...though I don't really have to tell you that as you always do.
    Lots of love from your Maritime neighbour XX

    I clapped when the building hit the ground! Priorities! Porter is a great friend. We could all use a Porter! So smart to add extra underground conduit. I would put the pull rope in now because fishing a long length can be a huge PITA, especially if you have a few tight turns (ran over a million feet of cable when I stopped counting). Great to meet Tal & Mads. Great to see Tyler and Todd!
    What a great vlog today! Love you, pack!

    Great seeing Tal and Mads out there. I just bet you guys had so much fun! And Porter is the sweetest guy ever. You guys are so lucky to have found him. What a great friend to have. I am heading out solo with my 4 dogs in only 2 weeks away now to the west. I have never driven my rv out of NY yet so driving west across the rockies is making me nervous but I am going to be brave and you girls are my inspiration ! I will be documenting and journaling the trip.

      Hey Shelty6 you are so right. We had so much fun but we did just as much work.. it is the balance of life. We believe you can do it, we are sure it will be life changing for you! 💛💛
      We are so thankful that we found Porter.

    Hi Porter. As usual your skills are so good. It’s good to see your smiling face and I agree with a comment I seen that you could start your own channel with your mad skills. It’s mesmerizing to watch.
    Exciting times ladies 😍 you’re channel is my absolute favorite and makes Mondays (I’m in Australia) awesome. I just love your content and your dogs and your property and your van and of course you both 😍

    I love Porter so much that when you called him I got all verklempt. My eyes are leaky. I'm sure all the beer only has a little to do with it. He's great, right? Like I don't just mean to y'all which would be enough to make me love him but he's _such an awesome human being!_

  • @hoosierladyus48

    Every weekend I think my husband looks forward to watching your videos as much as I do! Out of all the u-tube videos I watch you guess are my favorite! You just make THE BEST videos! My husband always comes up behind me and watches ....he says he loves looking at you both because you are both so beautiful! aaaawwww But he always says he loves watching cause you guys are "bad asses!" He just keeps remarking how you guys just "go and get it done".....you guys show up a lot of men he knows. So thanks to a couple of beautiful ladies who know how to get things done! We don't need no man to do the heavy lifting (except for Porter) we can do it ourselves! hee hee love you guys.....looking forward to next week!
