Still believing in Santa Claus...um....what's your underlying health condition and what were you doing before ending up in the hospital...i.e. wearing a mask for the past year maybe? Think logical...they haven't even isolated this planned virus yet, and using the PCR research tool is adjustable...not a diagnostic tool. Just saying...you probably made yourself sick by suffocating your respiratory system. Smh...can't believe people are buying this brainwashing by corrupt CDC, media and government regarding a flu bug that is 99.8% recoverable. Big pharma is paying for all the marketing and advertising...FEAR FEAR FEAR. Stop watching TV, ingesting fluoride and junk food.

[@victoriaegan6476]

You might think about a pocket door into the bathroom. We have a pocket door leading from our walk in closet into our master bath. We gain additional space in our closet. Another pocket door into the toilet room may also be an option. Melissa, you could be a director for videos. You have a talent there.

[@Jaynes-Path]

Wow, a 7'X16' walk in closet is a dream come true for me! That's a Master suite not a bedroom area! Very nice! Black bears usually scare easily with noise. Air horns, fireworks and shooting blanks for a couple days usually encourages Momma to move her cubs to a safer location. If you find a lost baby turkey you can raise it up for a holiday dinner. Sometimes mom can't keep track of them all and with a few slight changes in food turkeys can be raised with the chickens. Keep those eyes open out there.

[@tommyetaylor]

How about pocket doors. Hide those chocolate 🍫, my favorite also. You have a way with words, bring tears to my eyes. I still remember my late husband and the first new home we ever had. We loved there , he died there in my arms after 45 years. Remember everything it will stay in your heart for years.

[@LinrudOwiee]

After living in a National Forest for 8 years my advice is to make noise. When you see a bear, talk to it. “Go away bear.” Honestly, for the most part black bears don’t want to hang about with you. You do have some draws with the chickens and sheep but as you say, the humans are the number one priority. Have bear spray handy. There are bears that develop nuisance behavior if someone is feeding them, and that is not something you can control beyond your property. They are lots of fun to watch and take pictures of though. Just know they are drawn to even bird feeders so minimize that draw. House is looking great!

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Living on acreage we had our 2 beautiful Maremma LGD girls who looked out for the whole family but especially the kids when they were outside playing. We don’t have bears but they patrolled the property and all the local wildlife knew it was their territory. One would sit by the youngest while she was playing and the other would take a higher view point and watch. We always kept an eye out but to have that extra layer of security was incredibly helpful especially as we had a lot of snakes. They will train you and the kids and we all knew the snake bark!

Have you guys considered pocket doors to save on space as well? Be good for the closet and bathroom. Just a suggestion.

[@richardross7219]

Congratulations on the finished framing. Save as much of the scrap pile as you can. When I was a kid, my grandfather would make toys for me from some of the scraps. Later, I did the same for my son. The scraps will come in handy in the shop. While you are framing, consider building one of the small rooms into a safe room too. You need to scare the bear off before your garden and livestock become too tempting for her. I figure the chickens are most at risk. BTW a grizzly bear recently attacked a hiker in Yellowstone. Good Luck, Rick
