Slooooowly but surely haha.

LOL. Yeah I should have just set up a real mattress. Figured I might need the flexibility during construction.

Ha thanks Kim! Yeah I have too many hobbies lol. Although to be fair, soy candles are pretty easy to make. Get some a fragrance, a container, some wicks, soy wax, melt it all together, and pour away! I tried it a few years back to save money because I was going through a candle phase. Not sure how well the saving money part worked haha 🤔

Thanks Kim! We're pretty lucky to have so many mountains in Colorado for sure. Ha and thanks, I'm not always an idiot, but when I am, I learn from my mistakes haha.

Thanks!!

That would be awesome Belin. I don't need rave levels of control but even a color gradient across a wall would look nice. I built these in such a way that they can easily be swapped out so perhaps down the road I'll look into addressable LEDs. Thanks for the tip!

I know you enjoy hacking together your own software solutions, so you might enjoy building a controller that hosts a web server which allows you to control it all with your phone / computer. ESP32 controllers are cheap and I've found them to be fun. They have built in wifi radios.

@@BelinFieldson That sounds right up my alley! And hey, if those wifi radios work even marginally better than some of the "smart" lights out there now, I'm *sold*.

Hey Matt, pretty much! Feel free to stop by sometime - Sarah should have my cell phone if you need to get ahold of me.

I did get it. I'll be texting soon@@adambuilds

Hey Matt, I should be finished finished early in the new year, happy to have you over, I'll be in touch!

Thanks Joe! Hoping to get back to regular updates now. Always appreciate your comments.

Thanks Kim!! 😊

Haha good eye

Thank you sir! Haha lucky 128 indeed :D Really appreciate the thoughts on the TV and the cheers! We'll have to organize a get together sometime soon, I still want to hear about your CT trip!

Thanks Joe. I've been thinking about it and I think you are right, the 65" seems too big. Thanks for your feedback! Especially from another user who has The Frame. Can't wait to set one up!

@@adambuilds FYI, got mine from Costco and it came with two years of art

@@Gantry0w Oh shoot, can't beat that, thanks for the heads up.

Good eye, I am admittedly quite behind on the KZbin front. As of today: - Painting is done - Flooring is in - Lighting is complete - Finishing electrical is 1/2 done - Cabinets are 1/2 done - A few dozen small projects like speaker wiring, porch siding, and yard work have been underway Things are happening faster these days so I am trying to catch up on YT. Thanks for watching Schwab family!

Thank you!!

Thanks Merlyn!

Hey Spencer! Really good question. My texturing company recommended USG Total (the red box) for all applications. It's harder to sand than a lighter mud but it's also stronger. For taping, I do mix the mud wetter since the paper tape is very "thirsty". From what I've read, mud that is too dry for taping will blister (i.e. if you use mud right out of the box). Cheers!

Thank you Joe! It is taking much longer than I ever expected but one piece at a time it is getting done. Thank you again for your note and your encouragement!

Joe thank you for your kind note! I've been wanting to go to KSC for years and it did not disappoint! I could have easily spent a week there!

LOL 🤣

Thank you sir! The race is on to have this complete by your next American journey.

LOL - made me double-check my spelling. Thank you!
