[@MaxandOccy]

Soooo that snake was a bit of a shock for me too 😅 what a beauty though. Loving living in this paradise 🙌🏼

[@VOIDYT198]

🫢 i might be hearing things but im sure you missed a word to bleep! i did rewind a couple of times 😂at about 3.00😂

[@Beaut_Beau]

If you ever need help with a more deadly snake like a brown, then in that beautiful part of the world, just look up George The Snake Man :)

[@SamNgatia-707]

It's funny how u actually touched a snake yet if I see a lizard, just a fucking lizard imma go nuts 😂

[@AlikiRocks]

I love that you took care to not harm the snake. Well done!🙌🐍

[@tada8092]

Snake needs a Better Help session for PTSD. 😊

[@mazaiah_]

Every Sunday that there is a Max and Occy video is a great Sunday

[@laracloud593]

I couldn't agree more!!!

[@cqbarnieify]

Your home is lovely, and the addition of an indoor bathroom is awesome. Not having to walk through the rain to use the toilet is priceless. Thank you for another great video.

[@pamjames6873]

Coming along great! Love your friends . Love love occy ! Glad to see you happy! Cant wait to neet your new partner!

[@angelabobanna7774]

Snakes go into buckets! 😳 get a 5gal bucket with lid, drop into bucket to transport to release area. Drop and dash until snake slithers away!

[@caroladams7868]

Your new neighborss are awesome. Glad to see that you’ve got folks close by in case of emergency and for their good help.

[@barbaraerlank8029]

Lovely video. Keep well. I love that Occy has a friend. Your bathroom is coming along. ❤ from South Africa

[@S_S-WHYT]

Bathrooms are such a big project when you’re rebuilding walls/changing windows! You’re making such great progress on your property!!

[@andyw8558]

Integral 🥑 toast, sitting on the porch with my feet on the fence watching Max & Occy (especially Occy, sorry Max 😅) after a good morning "session 😏😉"... girlfriend is making coffee 🥰... Sunday morning can't be more relaxing... Cheers mates 🫡

[@bigblue1287]

Just escaped a nasty hurricane down in South Florida mate. Your vlog is just what I needed on a gorgeous Saturday 💙🌊🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@nuthouse2385]

I don't know what it says about us getting so much joy out of watching you grind, but man do we enjoy it 😁 Thanks for a few good chuckles and our dose of Occy and your little piece of paradise 😊

[@mumzee7680]

Hi love, can i just say i think you handled the snake situation very well lol and I'm happy to see you and Occy back, 😊sending love and hugs your way xx

[@PawLet_144]

Occy's goodbye dance is epic🎉

[@Bea_Sowul]

🎉🎉❤❤

[@tinamccarthy6379]

Sunday isn't Sunday without a max and occy vid ... The bathroom is gonna look amazing when it's finished !! Oh and hello pretty lady ! ❤ xxx

[@troymaiden7274]

A good idea is a recessed shelf in the shower. They are great for storing shampoo etc, they don’t stick out either where you can belt your Elbows. Great job 👏

[@froglover7967]

I was thinking the same thing. Under the window would be a great spot I reckon.

[@cherriemater]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="743">12:23</a> Just a suggestion from experience ... take pictures of your puddles! It makes a great frame of reference for when you're trying to figure out where to reconfigure your land/patio for proper drainage. It will help to know where the puddles "were" unless you plan to do all your measuring and marking in the rain. (Works well when the poop pumper comes to drain your septic, too, which we did so we know where to dig to find the opening in four years.)

[@neutonrenda2303]

Occy is such a character, and always so happy. Great job with the window and wall, looking forward to seeing the rest of the build. I do still love the outhouse though.❤️

[@highvibe4839]

So good you have some help and good company on your property now Max.

[@ChrisMiller34-tn2nc]

I saw a window sticker the other day that said "tell your dog I said hi". I thought Max and Occy!

[@AmbersHouseDIY]

I love all the work you are doing on the property! I'm stoked to see this bathroom reno. That snake would have terrified me. Good on you for staying calm and safely removing it.

[@noppppe1314]

Can't wait to see the end result of the bathroom when it's all finished.

[@lgrindrod3474]

I like the little dinner dance. 💜 Congratulations on getting this phase of the bathroom done.

[@willbe939]

I love following your life’s journey! The new bathroom will add a lot to your home. You’ve come a long way for sure!

[@lansleyc]

Oh I got completely lost in this latest screening , what a beautiful place you live . The bathroom will have a great view, the inside toilet should be for the ladies 😂. Have a great week, looking forward to the bathroom reveal .

[@nicothenatural]

Yes I love waking up to a new video from you, Occy + Co 🥰

[@tamarpeters8237]

Great job all round! Nice to see you guys doing so well. Keep those videos coming as always excited to see what's happening next 😊❤ x

[@rcheeks8963]

How ironic, I was thinking I'd want that indoor loo because the outside one would be attractive to snakes and spiders!

[@cherriemater]

🤣😂🤣 🐍 🚿

[@samb12z96]

It's coming along nicely. I love how captain Occy is overseeing things.

[@cherylownbey9573]

Thanks for your joyful, kind videos. I loved that you treated the snake so well and didn't harm it, or allow it to harm others. So often panic brings on stupidity in critter care. Youve been through so much. We all miss Lees presence and hold her in our hearts. Love your Chi and you and Occy share such beautiful joy in life.😊❤❤

[@nicothenatural]

It's wonderful to see him healing and moving forward from that trauma. It sounds like he has a partner, who I'm sure is just as wonderful as he is. 💖

[@janeboudreaux3015]

I miss you and Occy! Love watching home improvements. So proud of you!❤

[@kathyl5610]

I’m always so happy to see a notification about a video from you. I live in Florida and have been watching from the very beginning. Lee was a beautiful young soul. Thanks for sharing Occy with us. Your home is coming along beautifully. You should be very proud. Take care and stay safe, ie. away from snakes.

[@jodilyle7418]

💛

[@AdinaShoshanaSturman-os6tk]

BRAVO!!! Great move! Though - nothing beats an outdoor shower or bath on a hot summer day!!!

[@karlamaynor5544]

Have you thought about doing a dutch door for the outside bathroom? Both the top and bottom open independently. This would give different levels of privacy for people that need it.

[@Riverview12313]

Occys dinner dance he's so cute!!❤😊

[@LCurtyyy]

you did an amazing job with the bathroom window 💯

[@nan----]

I absolutely made it to the end!! Great video!! 👍

[@joybochsler7160]

My favorite is occy dancing

[@mindyedwards2699]

Well Done Max on handling the snake. Like the new window just hope you've not robbed yourself of too much light with such a small window. Also when you check back on the video there was a clink of light on the right hand side of the wall, you don't want the bugs getting in again.

[@paulaunger3061]

Indoor bathroom yay! I can see why you were putting it off, but think how great it's going to feel when it's done! Good luck! (and big hugs to Occy and his new friend. Gorgeous doggies!)

[@titalinda8515]

Great job, best wishes from Chile. 😊

[@royconnell2506]

Thanks Max for bringing me along on your adventures.🤘🤘🤘

[@annierae6355]

I’ve been following for several years, appreciate you and your soulful sharing. I must have missed something? Did I hear the word partner today? Sending love. Those of us that have been here since the beginning remember Lee, and I think I can speak for many when I say I understand keeping things private but if there is a newer love in your life, there will be many many people, myself included that will send you all the love and support and wishes for a very happy life.

[@rew3737]

Thanks for the video! I watched the whole thing. How could I not? lol Looking forward to seeing the bathroom done.

[@shw_1957]

Finding the snake reminded me of the only thing I didn't like about living in Australia. I can't wait to see the finished bathroom!

[@omavicmcmurray2893]

It’s always a wonderful Sunday when it includes Max and Occy! 💙

[@dianegenx]

Occy's Dinner Dance! 🥰

[@junerodriguez1938]

Boy the wall looks so good. You definitely can't tell that's a new wall great job!

[@lorimontcalm9086]

Looking good, amazing at reclaiming the lumber and making it look seamless. Well done! Hugs from 🇨🇦

[@Creating22]

Love the dinner dance 😂

[@kereendawkins1034]

Congratulations on your new bathroom from us in Jamaica 🇯🇲. Love watching the progress ❤️

[@OG_Bearcat]

Great job as always!!! Good to see you

[@maryantosz6195]

Love how your new bathroom is coming along! The snake gave me the willys! Good to see you and Occy!! ❤

[@betheurich7790]

Love your videos, love the puppies sleeping and thank you for sharing ❤

[@PeggyForrest-o9k]

Great video as usual thanks max

[@bearitraeb]

I was going to another channel because I saw a notification for them and you & Occy was sitting there right next to them with that little blue dot 🔵 saying there was a new episode…. 😢Joa, Max & Occy for the first view. ❤ you Occy and your owner ain’t half bad either

[@deloresbradner8928]

Good to see you again your friends 😊

[@101doreen]

Great work! It's not easy switching out a smaller window. You are inspiring me to finish a few projects with that last 10% left to do. 💛❤️💛

[@time4paws]

Hi Max, get a squeegee for your glass, use it every time you shower & less washing & NEVER have water spots to scrub away. 24 years of professional cleaning, trust me.

[@rubydarlene]

I use it on my shower walls too. :)

[@jenniferpruden4059]

Oh wow Max finding that snake was a shock. Well done in dealing with it, but if you have something with a lid it would of helped you both move it across your property. Glad your friends are back, are they going to build a tiny home there? Your bathroom should look nice when finished. You have it under control, well done. Look forward to seeing the finished article. You mention again 'your Partner'. Are we likely to see them soon? You deserve to be happy🎉🎉❤. Take care and stay safe🙋🏡👍🐾🐾🐕🐕

[@N-A-uw5fp]

I have watched hours of videos of homesteaders in Western North Carolina, who have been greatly affected by the hurricane Helene. They definitely are taking advantage of taking note of which way water flows on the property and really preparing for the worst for the future. Storms around the world are definitely increasingly becoming worse and more frequent. Better to prepare that now than as an afterthought and there’s so much damage.

[@petervandergugten]

Looking smoot Max Have FUN and be SAFE

[@marktitus8516]

I'm sure it will look great once finished and you'll love the chance to bathe inside year round. Although it's so much more rewarding to bathe outdoors

[@Nhaeddy]

Yay ! Thanks Max & Occy for sharing your piece of paradise. Happy Sunday. 🐶💛🐍

[@louiseclifford5184]

Wow the place is looking great. All your hard work is paying off.

[@LubaAlanna]

It’s all coming together so well Max!

[@bordercolliepupopvoedenont924]

Loved your work in your bathroom Max, good luck finding a new editor. Love your video's and Occy's diner dance❤❤😂

[@davidpope-u7w]

I enjoyed this video. Well done.

[@brandymcgrath9386]

You have the perfect yard for a homemade slipe in slide 🛝… with all the rain. Tons of fun. Lol.. love your videos…. For Lee ❤❤❤

[@Apoetandanisland]

Whole time you were doing bathroom floor I was at panic mode 😂

[@leticiabeanguido]

Is there anything you can’t do?!? You’re amazing Max ❤

[@kimnelligan9820]

You did a wonderful job. Can’t wait to see it all done.❤❤

[@mdoubleyewsviews]

Such a good vid. Thanks for what you do. It really makes my Sunday great. Can’t wait to see you finish. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻

[@JeanetteDavis-z7h]

Loved Occy’s dinner dance!!

[@michelegrice4938]

Using your clamps that way is great for decking when you have a bowed board.

[@flaviamendes6211]

The snake looks like a Brown Tree Snake a.k.a Night Tiger. Mildly venomous

[@lisatanksley5317]

I grew up in Hawaii, and we always put ours in a dark room to ripen them. We kept them in the butlers pantry where there were no windows.

[@QuadrupedsInParadise]

I love your channel!! Keep it up, love too, Occy!!! ❤

[@marileigh9913]

Great neighbors 😊

[@Em_Chester_]

Thanks for looking after snakey….beautiful.

[@acdallas6356]

"Are you happy with the level of ppe you're in?" to a guy in essentially a loin cloth. I have laughed all morning!!!😹😹😹

[@Bea_Sowul]

Occy y Leo juntos, acompañando en la restauración son absolutamente adorables 😍 🐕 ❤🐶 No puedo esperar a ver ese hermoso baño terminado, pero tomalo con calma Max! Abrazos desde Buenos Aires 😊

[@mochibear8933]

Don’t worry, it’s only a python! 😂 🐍

[@georgeattig8088]

I bet you’re really glad to have Glenn around. Now, if you could just find some land for Kev and Kimmy in your area, you would be all set 😅.

[@LazyManJoe]

Good going mate!😁 LOVE Occy's dance!!!!

[@marysellers56]

Looks great Max ! ❤ 😊

[@Sharon-tp9mf]

Hard worker you are. Take care. Xx

[@jeffreynelson2946]

Really enjoy watching you create this beautiful life in the rain forest. Once the bathroom is complete what about moving the washer & dryer off the front porch? Before starting any major projects, you might want to take some time and tidy up all the loose ends. When you were standing in the hall above the door behind you daylight was shining through to the left of the picture - why not fill that in. Also, the peninsula that houses the stove the back is exposed - why not put a board there to finish it off, maybe with some cool tile or wood treatment. Also, many of the trees had a lot of dead wood - best to trim those up so they don't do any damage when it storms. Not meant to be critical, you have this amazing property it deserves to look the best it can.

[@marthaboal5818]

Great progress.....be well

[@LalaWest]

I just love hearing Max say alu-mi-ni-um. Had me questioning how to spell it after 61 years😂.

[@mocarra100]

Good job, you!

[@chewar7537]

Oh my, yes would HAVE to have an indoor bathroom!! And the snake...NOPE, no, noooooo.

[@elainedegoede6276]

Great job. Have missed you guys.

[@karenrouth2056]

Great video as always Max! Well done with all you achieved yet again! 👏👏👏❤️

[@lauraC1082]

No problem we will just go in and move the snake bare foot and all love it!!! Keeping real Max & friends love from California

[@kathykraut4491]

Probably a Keelback snake. Would love a snake Ed video. Love your Reno work.

[@isabelfaye3052]

I love that outdoor bathroom lol out house, that would be classy on a Rez lol. Back in the late 80s they had those lol , heheh

[@colinmclaughlin9258]

Good job Max, got it in the end hey, like a pro

[@shelleymalone4427]

Well, I certainly made it to the end, but I can’t help you with editing 😳, so I will show my dedication by simply watching, liking and commenting on every video.

[@angiewood3870]

Watching from The Lake District,UK and I am flabbergasted that people would question which way your toilet gate would open. I think it's hilarious.... Just for the record, I couldn't give two hoots which way your gate opens ha ha ha Keep the vids coming, we love watching and educating ourselves and our young children . JOB WELL 👍

[@jenniewilson6246]

Max, we are so excited to see your new bathroom is on the way, you are doing an awesome job! We had a visit from Jai and his beautiful boys, it was great to spend some time with them.

[@MaxandOccy]

Must mean you and Steve will be able to visit soon Jen! And love that 💛💛
