Dude the kentankerous comments...:or however you spell that....hilarious. Paul’s a genius, Michelle’s laugh is contagious, your kids are angels and your friends are lifelong. Screw the haters. Love you guys.
Michelle in southeast Idaho our seasons go like this.. summer 1, fall 1, summer 2, fall 2, (sometimes summer 3), winter 1, fall 3, winter 2, etc. You guys are great keep up the good work!
Love watching Paul, but also LOVE Michelle's laugh and do not mind a bit when she talks and gets in on the video. Just let the haters hate, they are just sad they don't have a life... LOL
Paul....can't wait to see what you do with Ed's "Golden Nugget". You and Matt are awesome people going out of your way to restore Ed's ride. Can't wait for the final reveal.
@@marktrowbridge9770 I hope you're right, but out living me is beside the point. At the rate Paul's taking on pet projects, I don't know that any of us will be around when Paul "reveals" the final version of "The Golden Nugget!"
As an engineer it impresses me that guys like Paul can eyeball a design, trace and cut the parts, and install it faster than I could try to design it! Great craftsmanship and artistry at work.
You really need to get out of the office and DO THINGS. Not being hateful or mean. You have to get out there and get your hands dirty. I was an engineering student once. Came from farm and automotive performance life. I got seriously pissed at my instructors and peers for being basically idiots and morons for having not a dang bit of practical experience and got kicked out of school for questioning their assumptions. So yeah, what once was a field made of people who did things is a field of people who have no experience DOING THINGS.
@@baronclime6423 As an engineer who prefers hands-on work, and was once a tech: I need to give this a lot more thumbs up than one. Seriously. An engineer with no practical experience is an engineer who better listen to the bloody techs before the techs become bloody and explain to management that they're bloody because the engineer was totally ignorant about what they were asking.
I love Michelle's laugh and commentary, you can tell Paul feels the same and feeds off of it. These kentankerous people are a very small minority of your viewers that apparently have nothing better to do then complain. Keep up the laughs and Paul's dry humor...love it!
Thanks for airing the "Cantankerous Comments". Makes me appreciate you all all the more. Showing your foibles, mistakes and screw-ups makes you real and relatable. Michele you just keep showing up and being your funny, fun loving & kinda loud self. It blesses me to know Paul has a good women supporting him. KEEP IT UP!
I just love this channel all together. Paul and Michelle's attitude on life and values, Paul's skill is amaizing and if Michelle is not featured in a video with her nice laughter its just not the same. Love you guys!!
Love Paul's "if at first you don't succeed" attitude, love Michelle's laugh and everything else. Awesome, genuine friends and family. You're family is rich beyond measure. I just wish you were my neighbor. Enjoy it and please keep laughing and making fun of the haters. Peace!!!
I totally love when Michelle is in the videos. It always adds another aspect to everything. As I said before, I'd like a video centered around her and what she does. You guys are great. Don't change anything.
As a long time viewer, i say don't ever change! Your all genuine, honist people thats why your subscribers love yeah..! Ps. Can't wait for the nugget vid(s). ✌❤✊
This has to be the best "cantankerous comments" ever, tears rolling down my cheeks. AND the project starting to work out, not that I would expect anything less. Keep laughing Michelle :-)
Paul, I'm relatively new to you're channel. I've watched quite a few though in the past few weeks. Being a guy who understands a bit of fabrication and building things from scratch. I was surprised to listen to the segment of people hating on you and your sweet wife. Keep doing what you do. Love you're content! Hopefully we'll see you on the trails around Sandhollow one of these days!
The way you guys responded to the negative comments is why I love watching this channel, y'all and Matts off-road ate great people, it feels like we're all hanging out with friends!
I'm glad you guys can laugh off the trolls. I love watching the channel, idiosyncratic personalities, mistakes, and other weirdness especially. You guys make my shop shenanigans feel like I'm normal. Keep up the great work, and thanks as always for sharing!
@@YoungSandyGray I love the fact that this channel nicely and humorously refers to the trolls as "cantankerous". That just shows how outstanding and morally classy this family is. 🙂
Amy and I LOVE the cantankerous comments! The series of builds and working with Matt on his projects is awesome. We enjoy your videos, keep them coming!
I have over 200 TH-cam channels and Fab Rats is number one in my book!!! Don’t change a thing and keep up the good work!! Any way great show, beautiful family and you guys are awesome!!!
I have quite the list of favorite channels , fab rats , Matt's off road , precision transmission , south main auto , and I do cars ( and several more , " Corporals Corner and the outdoor gear review )
It consistently blows me away how y'all manage to make every single one of these videos so dang entertaining and fun to watch. Just gets better, and better, and BETTER. Absolutely love it 🙌
I'm in Australia and love your channel, your folksy life and attitudes and also your editing. You combine the right amount of fabricating with family stuff, friends interactions, thankfully very little music; I can't wait till each vid comes out. Thanks for sharing your lives, PS absolutely loved your honesty about your dyslexia. You are a gold star mentor
I never leave comments, but wanted to say I appreciate that you show your mistakes and how you come up with ways to fix them. You channel is more realistic than the professional car shows where everything goes perfect and they rarely show you a mess up.
Watching you and Matt recover the golden nugget was awesome! And now you get to rebuild it. You Sir are the perfect person to rebuild Ed's beloved Golden nugget 💛
That Cantankerous bit was hilarious, thanks for that little “behind the scenes” look. You folks are a treat and thanks for putting up with all of us *most* appreciate it.
Paul, keep reflecting on what's important in life, and Michelle, keep cackling (or whatever they say you do)! There are way more lovers of your channel than haters. Thank you, guys!
I was an engineer in real heavy oil engineering. The reason we went to computer aided design in a big part was to find all the errors before we built the stuff. Running the computer to find where stuff would not fit was fun, it was called the 'clash check'. When I started though in 74 we had paper and it was always a worry when the stuff turned up that it would fit. Working on vehicles though people don't realize is not easy. Anyone who can fix a car can fix most things.
I worked in a business that installed factory built fireplaces, and one of the contractors we installed for, built their first computer designed home. Hopefully things went better after that one. The corner chase didn't line up for each floor, so we used 18 adjustable 45° elbows to exit at the cap.
When I worked for Caterpillar, I pulled the transmission out of an articulated dump truck. It was soooo tight that it scraped the paint off of both sides of the trans as it came out of the hole. In fact it was so tight that after it was halfway out I had to tip it at a different angle to clear things, when I backed off with the crane, it stuck right there. This thing weighed about 1500 pounds! Could they have made the frame 1/2" wider? I think so. I had to grease up the sides of the trans to slide it back in place. I think that I was just LUCKY that it was able to come out without frame modification. The part of the frame that would have had to be modified was the Roll-Over-Protection mount. That would have created a whole new bunch of problems.
@@Rat-Builder Designs (bad ones) like that can happen when the person doing the design has never had to work on a machine. One service I provided was 'maintainability' for a new design. It was amazing how impossible some stuff would have been to fix without a redesign.
To those that hate themselves so much they feel the need to tear down those that are genuine. If there is ever a day the sh** hits the fan these folks will be invaluable. The world has been built by folks like these and the people they chose to be in their circle. Keep up the good work always look forward to the vids.
for those of us like me who have no idea what they are doing when working on (in my case) my Jeep, I love watching someone else who also has no idea what they are doing, it's just that you are doing it better. Love the the videos.
In the last 60 years I too have reversed the last two numbers in any series of numbers I have come across. It's been a chore as a heavy duty mechanic but like you I have compensated and got her done! Keep your family close because the laughter make's it all worthwhile. I like your show!
As a dislexic carpenter who's being watching you for a long time I've often thought you were dislexic, I sometimes measure things 3 times and still get it wrong I've learnt to use tick sticks and story poles that don't lie. Keep up the great work.
Back when I was in school, they just figured you needed to get with it and quit writing your letter backwards! I outgrew it for the most part, but I still have major difficulties transposing numbers.
@@azpapa9347 Doesn't help that in English you say for instance sixty nine while in a lot of other languages you would say nine and sixty. I often get confused because not all languages count in the same order.
Cantankerous commenters don't matter. Y'all are doin stuff most people can't do. I really enjoy your videos so keep it coming. Love to see fabrication unfold into working machines.
Don't listen to the haters they're unhappy people and nothing will ever make them happy. I love this channel because it's a good clean family oriented channel so never stop being yourselves and what you are doing. Great job on the buggy build.
For sure DON'T change a thing about how you guys put your stuff together. The imperfections are what makes it perfect ... I'm not even a motorhead or fab person and I look forward to every vid. The contankerous folks can go contankerous themselves!!!
I love the cantankerous comments. I'm sad I will never be a part of that segment because I enjoy your content from start to finish. Even old Papa Darr!
Doing as much fabrication as you do Paul, a CNC Plasma Table could be a game changer. Maybe a manufacturer that watches this channel could help out? Great video. Love how you and Michelle deal with "Negative" "A--Holes"!
I love the little segments that we all go on 🤣 ill never understand why people feel like their negative opinion means anything to anyone else... besides, the banter you guys have makes the video more relatable.
Love the show, the laugh and the real life family values.. Keep up the good work, ‘trolls’ will always be around spreading their hate because it makes them feel ‘powerful’ in their little minds….
It's funny that you said "if you don't like Utah weather wait 5 minutes" we say "if Oregon weather isn't your thing wait ten minutes. And don't forget an umbrella. You are living the dream! I love watching your videos and learning new tricks and things I had no clue about! The whole family is entertaining!
Glad Paul is making progress on the FJ, and it's great seeing the thought process, mistakes and all, and y'all's awesome attitude throughout. Can't wait to see him putting it through it's paces with the Morrvair!
Probably one of my favorite videos that you e guys have done. It was long and with lots of various things floating around. Love how you call out the trolls by name. Absolutely love it. Love watching your process of how you visualize things and how they come together. Plus how Michelle brings you food and then hangs out and how you guys laugh and giggle and still have fun together. My wife does the same thing and I know how enjoyable it is when she shows up with a snack or cold drink when I’m frustrated by whatever I’m doing in the shop. Great to see it all.
Paul and Michelle, thank you for being genuine and down to Earth. I'm glad you don't let the goofy comments bug you and I'm glad you have a segment on them to show their silliness. Love the channel, keep sharing with us and you all are fabulous! Fabrats fan forever! F³!
Paul and Michelle, you handled the negative comment's really well, remember , the majority of us love the both of you and enjoy the quality of your channel. Best wishes from the U.K.
Omg I was just telling myself that Paul was dyslexic. Check into the dyslexic advantage. It's the reason he is so good at what he does. It changed my life
I Love watching Paul and his family. Paul is a very knowledgeable person and Michelle is very funny person. You are always going to have those people who are hater’s just keep doing what you are doing and enjoy LIFE. Paul I would like to see you demo again you were fun to watch!
thanks for coming clean on the "numbers dyslexia", it's real. I had learning issues with math as a child, and spent a year+ working through it, to accommodate the errors I was building in consistently. Fortunately, as a woodworker, I can read tapes right.
honestly i like the hoop. i think it added an unusual style to his jeep so now it stands out as "his jeep" and the golden nugget save run was Awesome. man that was some Wheeling ya'll had to do! i commend you on getting in there and out safe as ya'll did! cannot wait to see her fixed up and running once more after 40 years!
READING THE COMMENTS WAS THE BEST THING EVER! Y’all leave Gary’s XJ alone!! And y’all are the best! Would love to meet you guys when we come down to see Matt in about 10 months. ❤️🐞
Michelle this is just a special shout out to you. I love your contribution to this channel and thought you know. As a total contributor to the whole I want you to continue with your contribution, keeping this character (Paul) in line, and providing a different line in understanding this family business and personal interactions with friends and family. Women always have the ability to knock us down a notch and help us in explaining our decisions and actions. Plus we like you and your laugh.
Despite what some viewers don't like about your crew is exactly what I love about you guys. Super informative, super entertaining. Thanks for sharing dyslexia issues. Dealt with lots of times in the machining world. Looks like you figured it out. You make me feel like I am part of your family. As I am just over the mountain in Hurricane, can't wait to meet.
I love everyone on your channel. And believe me, I’ve seen hacks, Paul ain’t one! It’s sad there is so much negativity in the world. Let’s stay positive peeps! Michelle, keep laughing!
I think this channel has peaked. Two of the coolest freakin’ rigs in the same shop at the same time and I’m fully invested in seeing them complete. This is great!!
I grew up with dyslexia as well, only held me back as a kid... Now that I'm a grown man I'm experienced home builder, and fabricator... I agree with you just got to work with what you've got, appreciate you taking a second to actually talk about dyslexia...
Fabrats (Paul), I love your videos and the fabrication. I'm an old (+70yrs) outdoorish guy and think you guy's are awesome. Keep the fabrication rolling and continue with your recoveries. Love you all. Regards Ben Viljoen from South Africa. ❤
I enjoy y’all’s stuff every time I watch it and learn something new every time, the world is full of unhappy people that want others to feel the same way. Misery loves company. Keep it up fab rat family y’all are the true definition of American grit and wholesomeness
I love this channel. It makes me realise that sometimes to do a difficult job, all you need to do is take the first step and let the rest just happen. As for being dyslexic, I have dyslexia. I could barely write a sentence at school. I was told I would never amount to anything yet here I am, a Paramedic, able to turn my hand to anything that interests me.
I am impressed by how you can understand inches at all Paul, your my hero. Here in Norway we use the metric system, inches is way to complicated for a Norwegian brain. 😂
You want to try Australia, we changed to metric, but us old buggers stuck to imperial, to be taught one thing then suddenly change to another was not easy. Btw, my parents came from Norway.
You are not alone with your affliction . Been dealing with it all my life and I'm now 73 . Been a mechanic of one sort or another and feel your pain . But as you we learn to live with it ...
THANKS for your channel. Comment: I'm amazed that people who get to watch your videos FOR FREE would make all these negative comments. If they don't like the channel, change it. There is no requirement to watch. I enjoy watching what you do, & all the info you provide. Much appreciated, & thanks for sharing your work & your knowledge.
Love the haters y’all 😂😂 Their life is unfulfilled, they have to spew their self disappointments on other’s 😳 Y’all are fun to watch, the love you have for your family & friends, entertaining and always positive…..more of what this world needs👍 The FJ is coming along nicely!!!
The fab rats family doesn't need to change a thing, like Paul said I'm a realist not a mathemusican ❤ cantankerous comments are always gonna come your way, these people live in a world looking through rose coloured glasses, Paul when you said get Dave Chapelle's phone#,I just thought what a great compilation that would be to have him as a guest on the channel, he is a great personality and builds the same stuff you like, it just don't get any better, you 2 would have some great laughs, collaboration is part of what makes life great, and with the golden nugget coming into the shop now, I read up on the LJ 20 SUZUKI'S and there's all kinds of info on them, 3cyl,2 stroke engines and from my understanding robust also, you'll have fun and a interesting time with it, looking forward to those videos to ❤
Haters gonna hate they have no life so they complain. Your channel is my first to watch for videos than Matt's off road recovery. I'd rather hear a laughing woman than a wining bitching one don't change a thing. Having the family involved is what makes the channel great. Keep it up. Love y'all from Tennessee
Yall rock!! So glad yall have got to the point yall can laugh at the haters. When the haters come out that's when you know you are at the top! Keep killing it guys!!
I love this show. Paul you are what I would have been had I not become a nurse. Jack of all trades! Michelle, you add a little light to the show. Love your laugh.
Paul, I have it too. When I went to school they did not understand it (60's and 70's. It was maddening but I adjusted my learning on my own to deal with it. Many Dyslexic people are very very creative. I have met many like you and I. We can do anything, but we have to do it our way!
Love that you can laugh at the idiots! You know what they say about opinions....... I personally love watching this channel. Paul, your skills are amazing, and Michelle your laugh is great. Nice to see a truly happy couple.

You guys are great. Thanks for sharing these projects inspires me to build my Jeep my way.
For sure DON'T change a thing about how you guys put your stuff together. The imperfections are what makes it perfect ... I'm not even a motorhead or fab person and I look forward to every vid. The contankerous folks can go contankerous themselves!!!
I love the cantankerous comments. I'm sad I will never be a part of that segment because I enjoy your content from start to finish. Even old Papa Darr!
👍
Doing as much fabrication as you do Paul, a CNC Plasma Table could be a game changer. Maybe a manufacturer that watches this channel could help out? Great video. Love how you and Michelle deal with "Negative" "A--Holes"!
I love the little segments that we all go on 🤣 ill never understand why people feel like their negative opinion means anything to anyone else... besides, the banter you guys have makes the video more relatable.
Love the show, the laugh and the real life family values.. Keep up the good work, ‘trolls’ will always be around spreading their hate because it makes them feel ‘powerful’ in their little minds….
It's funny that you said "if you don't like Utah weather wait 5 minutes" we say "if Oregon weather isn't your thing wait ten minutes. And don't forget an umbrella. You are living the dream! I love watching your videos and learning new tricks and things I had no clue about! The whole family is entertaining!
Glad Paul is making progress on the FJ, and it's great seeing the thought process, mistakes and all, and y'all's awesome attitude throughout. Can't wait to see him putting it through it's paces with the Morrvair!
The thought process on projects are 90% of the fun👍
Probably one of my favorite videos that you e guys have done. It was long and with lots of various things floating around. Love how you call out the trolls by name. Absolutely love it.
Love watching your process of how you visualize things and how they come together. Plus how Michelle brings you food and then hangs out and how you guys laugh and giggle and still have fun together. My wife does the same thing and I know how enjoyable it is when she shows up with a snack or cold drink when I’m frustrated by whatever I’m doing in the shop. Great to see it all.
Paul and Michelle, thank you for being genuine and down to Earth. I'm glad you don't let the goofy comments bug you and I'm glad you have a segment on them to show their silliness. Love the channel, keep sharing with us and you all are fabulous! Fabrats fan forever! F³!
Paul and Michelle, you handled the negative comment's really well, remember , the majority of us love the both of you and enjoy the quality of your channel. Best wishes from the U.K.
Omg I was just telling myself that Paul was dyslexic. Check into the dyslexic advantage. It's the reason he is so good at what he does. It changed my life
Man I love seeing the custom built from scratch. This is looking good, I can’t wait to see the USS golden nugget in the shop
👍
I Love watching Paul and his family. Paul is a very knowledgeable person and Michelle is very funny person. You are always going to have those people who are hater’s just keep doing what you are doing and enjoy LIFE. Paul I would like to see you demo again you were fun to watch!
thanks for coming clean on the "numbers dyslexia", it's real. I had learning issues with math as a child, and spent a year+ working through it, to accommodate the errors I was building in consistently. Fortunately, as a woodworker, I can read tapes right.
I Love the fact that the family is involved. Keep your show the way it is. Don't change a thing.
honestly i like the hoop. i think it added an unusual style to his jeep so now it stands out as "his jeep" and the golden nugget save run was Awesome. man that was some Wheeling ya'll had to do! i commend you on getting in there and out safe as ya'll did! cannot wait to see her fixed up and running once more after 40 years!
READING THE COMMENTS WAS THE BEST THING EVER! Y’all leave Gary’s XJ alone!! And y’all are the best! Would love to meet you guys when we come down to see Matt in about 10 months. ❤️🐞
Would love to meet you as well. 👌
Cantankerous comments they will always be there, just like Capris. I enjoyed it and I enjoy all the builds!
Golden Nugget!
Don't change a thing. You guys are the best family I never met ❤. Just keep being you and let the world eat.
Your mechanical skills and fabricating is remarkable. NEVER feel down about dealing with dyslexia. You are aware and deal with it. PROPS to you.
Do not change a thing. Michelle is part of what makes the channel great. Keep up the good work!!
Loved the longer video this time! I know it takes a ton of work but we absolutely appreciate it!
Paul's comments about dyslexia and his view on it was amazing!! Totally agree and a great way to put it!!! Makes me love this channel even more!!
The main thing you gotta remember about dyslexia is;
" 2 wrongs don't make a right,
but 3 rights make a left!"

Michelle this is just a special shout out to you. I love your contribution to this channel and thought you know. As a total contributor to the whole I want you to continue with your contribution, keeping this character (Paul) in line, and providing a different line in understanding this family business and personal interactions with friends and family. Women always have the ability to knock us down a notch and help us in explaining our decisions and actions. Plus we like you and your laugh.
I've been a Weldor/Fabricator for 45 yrs, I think you do excellent work and I like all the family input.
Despite what some viewers don't like about your crew is exactly what I love about you guys. Super informative, super entertaining. Thanks for sharing dyslexia issues. Dealt with lots of times in the machining world. Looks like you figured it out. You make me feel like I am part of your family. As I am just over the mountain in Hurricane, can't wait to meet.
I love everyone on your channel. And believe me, I’ve seen hacks, Paul ain’t one! It’s sad there is so much negativity in the world. Let’s stay positive peeps! Michelle, keep laughing!
I will bet that the idiot that commented that could not repair a lawnmower, let alone anything important.
You all are awesome, don’t change, and tell Michelle to keep right on laughing. Paul is a very lucky man. Great channel folks.
I think this channel has peaked. Two of the coolest freakin’ rigs in the same shop at the same time and I’m fully invested in seeing them complete. This is great!!
I grew up with dyslexia as well, only held me back as a kid... Now that I'm a grown man I'm experienced home builder, and fabricator... I agree with you just got to work with what you've got, appreciate you taking a second to actually talk about dyslexia...
Fabrats (Paul), I love your videos and the fabrication. I'm an old (+70yrs) outdoorish guy and think you guy's are awesome. Keep the fabrication rolling and continue with your recoveries. Love you all. Regards Ben Viljoen from South Africa. ❤
I enjoy y’all’s stuff every time I watch it and learn something new every time, the world is full of unhappy people that want others to feel the same way. Misery loves company. Keep it up fab rat family y’all are the true definition of American grit and wholesomeness
Never, ever, grow up! Love you guys. Never change.
I love this channel. It makes me realise that sometimes to do a difficult job, all you need to do is take the first step and let the rest just happen. As for being dyslexic, I have dyslexia. I could barely write a sentence at school. I was told I would never amount to anything yet here I am, a Paramedic, able to turn my hand to anything that interests me.
Really looking forward to the Golden Nugget! I pretty sure that Paul going to do an amazing job on it!
I like the mouth bumper . Y'all are awesome . Don't stop being yourself
I am impressed by how you can understand inches at all Paul, your my hero. Here in Norway we use the metric system, inches is way to complicated for a Norwegian brain. 😂
You want to try Australia, we changed to metric, but us old buggers stuck to imperial,
to be taught one thing then suddenly change to another was not easy.
Btw, my parents came from Norway.
@@ivanolsen8596 Imperial is still quite common in the marine industry in Aus.
I'm constantly swapping between both systems.
Michelle, I love your laugh and consider it a bonus every time you show up, keep it up!
I love everything about your channel, from Paul’s growing tool shed to Michelle’s giggle and her wardrobe choices. Keep doing what you’re doing!
YES! AMERICAN'S FAVORITE HELICOPTER PILOT RULES! Paul is so much happier when guys are together! Keep up the awesome work
You are not alone with your affliction . Been dealing with it all my life and I'm now 73 . Been a mechanic of one sort or another and feel your pain . But as you we learn to live with it ...
Sunday is now officially complete. A cool build and Michelle’s laughter. 👍👍. And the Suzuki!
The hoop is alright. It certainly looks better than all the Jeeps running around with angry eyes grille
I think when its filled up with all the other stuff mounted on like the lights and whatnot it'll look real good
Y’all are awesome. The naysayers have their heads up their butts.
We love you guys. You inspire me to get out in my shop and work on projects.we also love name that part with Michelle..
THANKS for your channel. Comment: I'm amazed that people who get to watch your videos FOR FREE would make all these negative comments. If they don't like the channel, change it. There is no requirement to watch.
I enjoy watching what you do, & all the info you provide. Much appreciated, & thanks for sharing your work & your knowledge.
I also enjoy "What's that part" with Michelle. Funny and down to earth.
Love the haters y’all 😂😂
Their life is unfulfilled, they have to spew their self disappointments on other’s 😳
Y’all are fun to watch, the love you have for your family & friends, entertaining and always positive…..more of what this world needs👍
The FJ is coming along nicely!!!
Very well said!
👍
@@remorrey Thank you sir
The fab rats family doesn't need to change a thing, like Paul said I'm a realist not a mathemusican ❤ cantankerous comments are always gonna come your way, these people live in a world looking through rose coloured glasses, Paul when you said get Dave Chapelle's phone#,I just thought what a great compilation that would be to have him as a guest on the channel, he is a great personality and builds the same stuff you like, it just don't get any better, you 2 would have some great laughs, collaboration is part of what makes life great, and with the golden nugget coming into the shop now, I read up on the LJ 20 SUZUKI'S and there's all kinds of info on them, 3cyl,2 stroke engines and from my understanding robust also, you'll have fun and a interesting time with it, looking forward to those videos to ❤
How can anyone be negative towards Paul and especially Michelle? You all are such great people and treat your viewers as if they're family!
Love y'all!! Michelle, keep doing all that you do!! Love the fab work, but love all the banter too!!
Heck yeah! I was hoping The Nugget's rebuild would be documented! Even better that you're the one doing it!
👍
Haters gonna hate they have no life so they complain. Your channel is my first to watch for videos than Matt's off road recovery. I'd rather hear a laughing woman than a wining bitching one don't change a thing. Having the family involved is what makes the channel great. Keep it up. Love y'all from Tennessee
Yall rock!! So glad yall have got to the point yall can laugh at the haters. When the haters come out that's when you know you are at the top! Keep killing it guys!!
I love this show. Paul you are what I would have been had I not become a nurse. Jack of all trades! Michelle, you add a little light to the show. Love your laugh.
Paul, I have it too. When I went to school they did not understand it (60's and 70's. It was maddening but I adjusted my learning on my own to deal with it. Many Dyslexic people are very very creative. I have met many like you and I. We can do anything, but we have to do it our way!
Was waiting patiently this morning for this🤘🏻🇺🇸
Dude travels fast. I swear I just saw him recovering Ed's Zuki in California like 5 minutes ago. Lol
Can't wait to see Ed's Suzuki that's going to be interesting.. just finished watching the Matt's recovery
Michelle, I like that you and Paul are a team. Keep on talking all you want.
Love that you can laugh at the idiots! You know what they say about opinions.......
I personally love watching this channel. Paul, your skills are amazing, and Michelle your laugh is great. Nice to see a truly happy couple.
