Great bear story. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you were safe
Looking beautiful
Norm, you blow my mind with your growing skills as you create your paradise 😊
Hi Folks, KIM, Kim Bear spray God bless 🙂
The doors were driving me nuts so much better👏😊
Haha, we knew we were going to do something. The white is just how they came.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Hi norm an kim lots going on that wall you are building looks good norm and nice to see your wiring up the solar panels. I know what you are saying norm it's all the components you think you have but find out you forgot to order but you both are making it all come together. Kim seeing a big black bear not far away will get the adrenaline going. It's a very good idea to keep the wee dog on the lead don't want the bear getting her or you for that matter . Painting the 2 doors and frames looks really good at matching your windows good choice thank you for this video much appreciated
Thanks so much!
Such a beautiful day there. Kim hopefully you start carrying bear spray now if you haven’t before. That would definitely get your heart rate up! Take care and have a great day!
Good job
Thanks Tim
Great bear story! I've had a similar experience on my property too; once with a bear and a half dozen times with mooses. So glad you had Jazz on the leash for that!
Absolutely.
I usually carry bear spray with me whenever I walk around my property up there. Good luck with all your plans!
Been a framer for years if you want 16" on centre in a wall take the tape measure to 15 1/4 to 16 3/4 and put the stud in the middle now you have 16 on centre for 4 foot and 8 foot walls but keep up the great work your doing wonderful job
Thanks for the video, I am so glad you are ok. Bears are not the warm and fuzzy critters we should play with. glad you both are safe.
You guys do a great job capturing the beauty of the land and nuances we often take for granted. Love the black floors. Cans are just hard to get even unless you have lots of practice. A Bruce or roller with a flow aid really helps me.
Black Bears are very skittish usually and are more scared of us than we are them typically. Wolves, coyotes, bobcats and foxes however would look at Jazzy as a quick meal. Please be aware
😊
Can’t imagine your heart rate when you saw that bear! 😳
Wonder what meals that big black bear has been eating?!?! Good thing he/she wasn’t hungry! YIKES 😱! All your hard work is sure paying off; isn’t it? It is looking beautiful! ❤
Luckily Black bears are normally not aggressive and would rather just be left alone. Grizzley on the other hand are very aggressive. The bear population in our area is dominated by Black bear but Grizzley do roam this mountains in small numbers.
@jolenecreech7648 it's berry season, too. The bears are far more interested in beries than in hunting this time of year. In the fall, it could have been a different story. Bear spray, and a side arm.. I carry both on my own property.
@@tobyatencio6698 we do now!
You were lucky that bears in your area don't want anything to do with humans, yet! Living in the Cascades we deal with bear human interface the every year. Some times the bears run and other times, well things are not good for the bear or the human.
Please arm yourself with appropriate tools and bear spray. 😊
Great progress on your solar systems😉
Black is good
I have followed you for a long time Thinking back to when you two were building your shed there on your property. You have come a LONG way congratulations! Hope you get the barndo the way you want it for the winter!
Greatful for your updates. Kim you should consider carrying bear/ wasp spray( shoots 20 feet) Lowe’s or HD carry them. Glad you’re getting friends to help.
Bear! Bear! Bear! Love it!😂
I painted my garage doors with self prime and self leveling paint from sherwin Williams and rolled them and they came out perfect.
I've had good results spraying metal doors. If you use a brush, get a PURDY brand
We ended up using a roller and it looks so much better.
Great to see your updates & progress! Bet Kim is thrilled with her mother's day present of the washer/dryer combo. Do you/will you have 220V for the dryer?
She is thrilled. The dryer is gas so it doesn’t need 240v but yes our solar system will produce it.
You need to get some bear spray to take with you on your walks.
Good Morning Sweet Couple ☕️ 🦋⚘️
Bear spray on your hip on your next walk be safe. Great job on the walls
Yes, thanks
The doors look good black.my brother-in-law and his sister and I were up hiking in big bear,and I saw a big brown bear and my brother-in-laws sister screamed and the bear stood up and started running after us.we ran as fast as we could down the hill to where we were camping, as we were running we were yelling get in your cars we were in a old school bus converted into a RV.a bunch of other people jumped in the bus with us and the bear came up to the side of the bus and was looking in at us and pushing on the windows.
Yikes!
Might be a good idea to take some bear spray with you on your walks😳
You should have gotten a German Shepard!
But we didn’t want one 🤷🏻♂️
Did you see a red door before you wanted to paint it black?
We’ve seen the red door that Lumnah acres has on their shop and we’re not a fan.
@@MountainBeaches I was thinking of the Rolling Stones!
I forgot to ask your eta to completion?
😂😂😂 I wish we knew.
But did ya change your panties asap?! Lol Super super scary! Super different outcome if Jazzy was off leash maybe? 😱. Carry concel, bearspray and small canned air horn . I'd carry all. Horn for coyoto, dogs,small bobcats. Bear spray ,conceal carry for cougar and bears ,wolverine. Space aware continued dog training in emergency response. Keep your head on a swival out there. Thank God above you are both safe and okay.
🤭
You have become too erratic with posting videos, so I won't be watching anymore. But wish you well on your journey too of grid living.
John, not sure why you felt the need to say that but ok. We don’t do YT for the fame or money, we do it for us and hope that viewers enjoy. If/when we continue it will still be on our schedule. Thanks.
