[@BusHuxley]

Hey hey! Thanks a lot. Yes, that is how it feels

[@kjterz]

looking great.......props to your passions and labors

[@BusHuxley]

Thank you very muxh

[@gregorybondi5220]

Bus, painting really sucks when all b yourself. Youve done a great job, and I love watching your videos. Keep them coming...

[@BusHuxley]

Thank you!

[@JunkerChief]

Bus, my wife and I have spent the past few months catching up to you in Season 8. Thanks for sharing your journey! We've been laughing along to your antics and appreciate the humility and honesty of your production. We'll be starting our own timber frame build soonish... we're at the milling trees and digging a foundation stage. You've shown us (and our skeptical family members) what's possible. Glad you weathered the last storm alright! Your friends in the Granite State, Aaron & Colleen

[@BusHuxley]

Well thank you very much for this comment! If you'd like to come by and see the place sometime let me know. [e-mail]

[@b_rob26]

The white paint makes the wood stand out really well. It looks so good! Can't wait to see that ceiling change colors as well...

[@curtissmith3498]

The visions through your windows...WOW!! Imagine the shades of green as your spring and summer play out.

[@BusHuxley]

Yes, its exiting to imagine the seasons through those.

[@OldIndyRacer]

It is looking so good. I go back and look at the earlier videos again, just to see all the details for the house. Wonderful work. Beautiful home. Just first class ! Peace for you holiday and stay warm... That ceiling will be something once it is finished.... Indy

[@BusHuxley]

Thank you so much!

Hi Bus Huxley, I always look forward to seeing your videos and seeing what you are up to. I usually don’t comment but I wanted to let you know that you bought the best portable planer on the market. An excellent addition as you will use it for years to come. Best Regards and a happy new year. Fred Thomas in Skokie IL

[@BusHuxley]

Well thanks a lot! I am glad to have you watching !

[@carolwaldeier1558]

One tree cut down 8 years ago to this now…..I’m in awe.

[@BusHuxley]

Thank you!

[@dangoras9152]

Looking awesome bus.... Keep it up brother

[@BusHuxley]

Thank you!

[@dougstewart6288]

Glad to see you well. Now the last 10 % of the house takes 50% of the total time. 😀 Really love your videos and content. Been following you for several years. Took the shoes off my horses the last week in Oct. Had great fall weather for two months. Then winter hit the first week in Nov and has been non-stop since. This has been the longest coldest early winter since I moved to the PNW 10 years ago. Reminds me of my childhood in northern New England. Thanks for the Maine fix. Best of luck as you finish the house.

[@BusHuxley]

Yes, it is such slow going!

[@billroberts3864]

Bus, you are still an inspiration for plugging along on your house build. The walls look great and really look good with the beams showing their magnificent color. Blessings to you.

[@BusHuxley]

Thank you kindly!

[@HaroldReece]

Looking good. It'll be move in time before you know it. Thanks for sharing.

[@BusHuxley]

[@karenedge7039]

Bus, that looks amazing! You have done a terrific job! That tamarack is beautiful! Yes, you did get a bunch or a ton of snow. I just loved all the content. I mostly love how you fast forward everything, that brings us to see the before and after. Great job!

[@BusHuxley]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@badgerholefarm2656]

Glad you are okay!! Thanks for sharing as always

[@BusHuxley]

Thank you very much!

[@glennreach6930]

Your home is looking so beautiful. You have come a long way since you sawed your first tree down!

[@BusHuxley]

Man alive. It has been so long!

[@nena4215]

What a house, absolutely gorgeous!

[@BusHuxley]

Thank you!

[@thomasgomez6755]

Nice work, Bus. Your height is a real asset. I’d be spending most of my time on the ladder!

[@BusHuxley]

Ha! Yes, i probably should spend more time on a ladder, my neck and shoulders take a beating.

[@matswilliams1058]

Good to see the progress since the last minute… congrats!!

[@BusHuxley]

Thanks!

[@charlie7057]

Looking good Bus

[@BusHuxley]

Thanks a lot.

[@pup734]

wow the house has come along ways looks great . I would have trimmed the windows out with wood, just me . Looks great.

[@BusHuxley]

Thanks!

[@tomdale1313]

tanks for sharing...

[@BusHuxley]

Youre welcome!

[@Grunt49]

Going to be a fine house

[@BusHuxley]

Thanks a lot.

[@dmj1170]

I have missed the updates on your place. Its looking awesome on the inside. Hope you had a wonderful Xmas. The storm last week at first for Indiana called for 18 inches then when it hit we had 5 inches. Would love to see you look to go off grid to avoid those power outages.

[@BusHuxley]

Yeah, the wood heat kept it cozy. I'm just not in a great location for solar. Maybe someday as tech improves. I got a genny. Thanks a lot! I hope yours was good too.

[@juliamason8393]

It looks great. I am mourning the loss of my oldest son Todd to complications of dialysis and the cyst in his stomach putting pressure on his diaphragm preventing his lungs from expanding for breathing. He passed away on Dec 10 at 7:42 am. He was just 46 years old.

[@BusHuxley]

Well I am incredibly sorry to hear this. I hope that you can find peace in time with this. That is far too young.

[@Tomhohenadel]

Bus, what did put on the inside of the windows. Vinyl or drywall moulding. House looks amazing. Painted drywall is perfect.

[@BusHuxley]

Good question. I did MDF returns with paper corners and mudded in. It looks sharp. Ill show that soon. Thanks!

[@10Briguy]

Do you have any footage of the tape/.mud/sand process? Did you subcontract that out or do it yourself? I love the progress! Thanks for sharing. I love following your journey whether it's catering, gardening, helping people with other projects, building your timber frame, interior finishing, plowing, saw milling lumber, tractor fixes, etc. Wondering if you do any art(painting/drawing/sculpting of any sort?)I love it all and appreciate that fact you take the time to share it with us strangers.

[@BusHuxley]

I dont have any footage of that, I subbed that out almost entirely. It would take me months alone and not look nearly as good as it does. Thank you for the really kind note. I very much appreciate it.

[@_Us.A]

💪👍⛄

[@coolwheelz5190]

Looking good! I assume you will or have milled your own trim? What's the plan for kitchen cabinets? Always great to see your progress!

[@BusHuxley]

I dont know about milling the trim. Maybe. I have a dwindling supply of dry pine which ive cut. I am working out the cab detail currently

[@dmj1170]

At least you didnt get what Buffalo got

[@BusHuxley]

madness

[@dmj1170]

Im looking for a good planer to purchase soon now that my LT15 mobile sawmill finally arrived. Let me know if the DeWalt you were using is something you would recommend

[@BusHuxley]

I would recommend It. Its a beast and works really intuitively.

[@armennederderian6873]

I still want to know what you do in your spare time....whenever that is!!!

[@BusHuxley]

I ice skate on thin ice! Its great to see your note!

[@meandnature6452]

when do you plan to move in?

[@derrick1964]

No apologies needed Bro. Raw and real content has it’s place on YT. Truth be told, many channels are over produced to cover up the content or lack there of. Nobody can touch what you’re doing. You’re a dude that’s building a freaking house from trees!!! Unbelievable!!!

[@BusHuxley]

Well this is a wonderful note. Thank you so much man. I really appreciate this.

[@diosayudame3021]

As far as your comment on not wanting to be a carpenter !! In retrospect I think you're a little too late for that !! It would be like Larry Bird or Michael Jordan not wanting to be a basketball player . 🤓

[@BusHuxley]

Hyperbole to be sure!
