    We have the loveliest supporters and followers of our TH-cam channel 'It's a Wonderful Life'.
    We remain committed to provide our content regularly, and of late, to increase the frequency of our vlogs. We have and continue to receive, many kind requests, to send gifts, or in some way help us financially with our channel.
    We have given this a great deal of thought. Whilst 'Patreon' and 'go fund me' are out of the question for us, we feel the 'buy me a coffee platform' (or for us, a cup of tea!) would be a great way to do this, especially in light of its ease of use and non ongoing commitment.
    Any contribution towards maintaining and hopefully enhancing our channel is very much appreciated, but never expected.

    Peter you are a real craftsman, your attention to detail makes everything you create well thought out, hence the final finish is solid and truly fit for purpose. Congratulations to Anna for the idea in making your chickens a comfortable residence X

    Great job Peter. You make it look so effortless, I am under the (totally false) impression that I could do something like that too!!! It's the finishing touches and attention to detail which make all the difference. I'm going to show my husband how you countersink the screws - his version is to screw them down harder!! I try to explain, but ....... Keep up the good work. I also think not going down the Patreon route is a good idea in the sense that it always feels a bit like begging to me. I'll be buying you a coffee though to show how much I appreciate your channel!

    What an eye you have for architectural detail as you create fun, whimsical yet very practical outdoor creations. Could you make kits and sell them - perhaps through a local nursery /greenhouse? This would fit in well with your interests, talents and lifestyle.

    That looks very nice, but how about a gutter around the front of the roof so the critters don’t get their feet muddy, or even in lieu of the guttering, how about a French drain to catch the drips from the roof and carry the water away. Lol. You did a good job there plus you got rid of a lot of scrap wood. How many of the ends from the fake “just for show” beams actually made it into the garbage bin? I would also like to commend Anna on finding activities for you to do outside in the cold. Obviously to keep you out of her way in the house. Ha, ha.

    Was wondering if you took courses in carpentry or if it just was learnt over time. I really like that you both care for animals. It is something that I can relate to. We are having dangerously cold weather here in Canada. Its -35. Luckily it will warm up on Monday. Best.

    Is this a day bed for your chooks? It’s a gorgeous little sun trap. I hope your chooks don’t suffer from stage fright though while trying to lay eggs. You will end up with a wonderful little township for all the birds on your property. Is a residence for the coypu on the cards at all?
