I would say you need more posts in the ground ads they are quite big spans

this may sound mean, the tree in the middle will be beautiful for a year or two but eventually you will come to hate it.

Another ground force video 😢...

excellent progress so far with the deck. Up here in West Scotland we also have got 3/4 nice days. Outside work is always perilous at this time or in fact at any time. Nowt ye can do about it . Up and at em. Later.

Great job. The dogs like it also 👍👍👍

Question: Is building the decking for a Cabin essential to getting your new house done? Should you not be concentrating on the house?

Im sure living in a mobile home is cramped and what your building next will be extra space for your family which you will be using for the foreseeable future,its all tied up together,i love to watch any progress as it's life ,and i can't understand why people think they can complain,you carry on just as you are the only people that need to change are the complainers

❤❤❤you are doing great work do not for listen ,,to what some folks may write, the station work is coming on very well never forget how far the project has moved on so please give yourselves a big pat on the back your are doing great honestly ❤❤❤

How are your daughters liking your new home?

the deck seems to be a huge one... okay there is a beautiful tree too, and very nice that you spared this one, but it looks just like a soccer field sized deck in some angles...

Great progress and I love how the dogs just interact no matter the work load!!!

All coming together nicely. 👍😀

Looks great. The new deck will look great. I'm just now having to replace the wood treads of the 5 year old porch steps of our Boston home with Trex -- the wood has rotted and failed after exposure to the harsh climate here. We did our best to keep it painted and it wasn't enough. I know wood is gorgeous. Perhaps you might consider a composite for your new deck.

Shoot 4k 😊

I love watching Gil working in fast forward, reminds me of a Looney Tunes cartoon! How does it feel to not only be living in a trailer, but also building a deck where, 60 years ago, trains ran thru? I'd bet it would be interesting 😂😂❤❤ I really enjoy these videos, please keep making them!

I agree with all the comments replying to Angela's post. This channel is Laura & Gil's and the content is theirs. Please Laura & Gil create your own videos, knowing that you've got a huge number of satisfied subscribers. Everything is looking fantastic! 👍💗😊🇨🇦

What was Gil putting on the ends of the boards?

What is going to happen to the tree?

Every job goes faster with the right tools. Skill saw is so much better for what you’re doing.

I don't know how you're gonna keep that tree! It won't be fun building around it.

Fantastic job, well done. It's almost a shame that you will be covering it all up. Looking forward to the next phase.😀

In Ontario Canada that deck is illegal. Nails must be used on the joists and hangers. Screws do not have the sheer strength of nails. Thats our building code.

You’ll should put a bench around the tree

I would put a three sided bench around the tree, to sit relax and throw some balls to the dogs

Why are you building the cabin?? What is the purpose of it?? Wouldn’t your time be better spent on the station??

I’m definitely asking Santa for a Gil for Christmas…….. I know I know… a Gil is for life not just for Christmas 🥰😂😂

You’ll have to put some of that garden fabric down somewhere for the pups.

Just sometimes you need to stop to drink your mug of Tea! It looks like it went cold!

Am I the only one thinking to take a swimming pool right where the original train line used to be and use original retaining walls as a decorative future?

What kind of wood is that? In my part of the world the structural wood is predominantly Douglas fir, which has a much more yellowish color to it than the one used to frame the deck.

How to frame-up to kill one previously healthy large tree. Cover the roots with plastic and cover the lot with decking so no water can get through to nourish the previously healthy tree.

If you need a gift idea for Gil, maybe a circular saw or a miter saw. So much easier than a jig saw. Also I love how playful your dogs are. If I had left a cup of any drink out like that, my dog would have come, taken a drink and then she’d want her ball thrown. Like your dogs mine will have me throw the ball hundreds of times a day. You are doing a great job.

Super craftsmanship! ❤😊

Great job !!! 😮

I have a thought about the Caravan but someone may have already pitched the idea. Create a simple exterior facade overlay and paint it to look like a traditional mid-century Railroad passenger car and then rent it out as an AirB+B at the Old Station.

I kept expecting to see the dogs knock over the drink cups at least once.

Hi Guys, that deck is looking absolutely fantastic, it certainly is going to be superb when it is finished, now did I see your daughters helping out? So I assume they had no school work to do? As for your two dogs they need something meaningful to do😃😃 best regards from to you all, from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

7:17 Noggin the last Nogg …. In 😂. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💨💨💨….. Choooo Choo Cherwoooo😳😳😳😳😳

Looks very nice.

Gil is really rocking those power tools! And his Measure Twice, Cut Once technique is a thing of beauty.

Gill is rocking that tool belt...phwoar!..we need to see more of this!...just saying! 💪👍

Too bad your videos are not alittle longer, say 30 minutes or so. Tootles😊.

Not meant as a criticism, but initially in your series, the time lapse feature was interesting. However, this time it dragged on. Small snippets would be preferable. You are doing a marvellous job.

OK on your review for this video I’m going to give you a thumbs up but be cautious. The video is supposed to be about you guys refurbishing the train station the old railroad station for your home. I understand that you have land work that you want to do and other buildings that you wanna add to the land we get that but when you stop showing us what’s going on with the railroad station then we have to wonder what what is this channel really about so on the side of caution try to add more about what work is being done to the station as well as what work you’re doing to the other parts of the grounds around the station too.

And the dogs want to have some playing time. But with this teamwork there's not always time to through a ball in to the bushes. 🙂

Coming on a treat call me thick the tree will it get water from underneath the ground ❤

Bless Gil, he always stops what he's doing to give Winston and Buddie the attention they require, haha. I honestly don't know if I watch this channel for the station reno OR the dogs - only teasing ya'. Fantastic progress - rain gives a needed break. See you next time.

That's a pretty good sized deck, certainly looks very sturdy. Will be a nice addition to your property.

Buddy and Winston proving once again that any job can take twice as long when they "supervise". 🤣🤣Thanks for sharing.
