Truly such a heartwarming channel! I’m currently away from home for a year and it reminds me of the good days back home! Love the honesty you show of a simple life!

When you wire your shop, you should put a light in the cupola.

[@NewsChannel-y4g]

like a little light house on a hill :)

[@NewsChannel-y4g]

that type of light couldnt ever get hid but would shine for all to see. Let it shine.

I love the way you drop everything and take care of Cedar’s needs and the boy’s needs!!! Was she surprised?

[@davedavis662]

Seen it done before and you are correct it looks amazing. I agree a nice white light led would do the trick and not need replaced for some time.

The difference between wanting and having is doing....and you and Cedar sure do alot!!!!

Dance like no one knows who you are and speak like everyone does. You have the right attitude about all of this. Respect, even those people you disagree with and we are halfway there. Your attitude is infectious and without having ever met you I know you are setting a good example for your kids. Keep on and don't lose heart because your example is heartwarming to many.

[@nolanbrown84]

Wise words from my father that he shared with me about the time I started challenging him... "By the time you're big enough and old enough to whoop me, you won't want to." I feel so fortunate to be able to appreciate the words now, that I didn't understand then. I try to cherish every moment I have with him.

[@silverfox9303]

nolanbrown84 Very similar to what my Dad said to me on the same circumstance, his line was " when you're big enough you will be to old" at first didn't make sense, then I grew up and understood, we still have similar values in the UK and the USA.

[@nolanbrown84]

@@silverfox9303 it's funny how dad's seem to know this stuff ahead of time, isn't it?! Almost as though they've already been through it before when they were younger. Cheers from the Midwest of the US!

[@silverfox9303]

Nolan Brown I’m 79 years old myself, but I still remember when I was taking my Dad on in a wrestling or sparring sense, as ever the small boy found that he couldn’t match Dad and would get frustrated. This was usually the point where Dad put his arms round me , held me close so that I couldn’t lash out and quite calmly say “OK that’s enough for today” it’s sad but all too often we only recognise just how good our parents were much later. Best wishes from North West England, take care, stay safe,

Possibly the best commentary you have ever posted! I pray that people heard what you said. Bless you all!

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

I noticed something about Cedar. When she was talking to you on the front porch about cleaning up all of that stuff, she went about it in a way that was not demanding or domineering. She did it with finesse and was very courteous in asking to clean up the mess. Asking to do things in a manner like that makes one really want to do that task. You have you a good woman for sure 👍👍

[@topnotchpiperdad]

Fantastic Cupola, Heath. You have to duplicate it on the house now. It sure adds ambience to your property. absolutely a great job!

[@ROSEMARY1925]

Beautiful family life and I was so amazed of your tiny little son drive that little car up to the shop so great to see that, you have given them so much, they will forever learn everything and pass it down to their own children. Many Blessings to you and your whole Family.👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@benryan9466]

Excellent addition to the shop, in our days “keep on talking” meant “ your about to feel the thunder” up until dad got home, and all that nonsense had better not been while your mother or sister were at home. Many times my brother and I took it to the barn, when he felt tough. It never worked out well for him. I sure miss those times he passed away 5 years ago. Your right some people on social media don’t understand how hurtful their comments can be.Rule of communication: Reply as if you were talking to your Mother or Grandma. Just be Kind to each other. Stay safe 🇺🇸

[@ronhanson9581]

Wow! You’ve accomplished more in four years than I have in 73! Congratulations

[@SVTRANGER91]

I didn't always get along with my father growing up but he is my best friend now. He taught me so much about repairing stuff that most millennial adults don't know how to do. I hated helping my dad with projects growing up but I'm thankful now. It warms my soul to see other fathers like my own.

[@averageschmo963]

Get you a nice tool box...... you deserve it..... thank you for sharing your life with us. God bless

[@Genesis--me8ud]

People here in the city constantly threw away their metal filing cabinets and I use those to store my tools etc and/kept them in the metal shed backyard

[@susanmarsh4351]

Oh the fall has come on fast. Many thanks for the drone footage. Gives a whole lot of perspective to the property and the latest additions. And the shop....well there are plenty of hours coming where you can plan, adapt and build the storage you need. Like everything......take it in small bites along with your projects.and it will get done. Congrats Heath and Cedar you have made the seemingly impossible happen snd succeed.

[@Mcorpmike]

Really like the way you think about raising kids and how your vision is about social media. I think about the same i rather have the old days, ppl overthink way to much and lose all normal ways of communication. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@brettoberry3586]

That skateboard ramp is placed precariously in front of a window. I HATE offering unsolicited advice, or observations but I remember the kinds of chances I took when I was young. Love what you and the family are accomplishing.

[@maryblaylock6545]

Tin looks great as does the porch. It would be great to have a bench and a nice swing on the garden end of the porch. Shop looks great too. One or two of those rolling tool boxes would help keep things off the work bench when you build it. A peg board to hang up stuff that you use very often right in front of you as you work. Hope to do that this winter myself. I'm so glad everyone helped clean up. What a difference it makes! Blessings to you and your family and friends and any livestock you might have wandering around the house and yard. Hope your visit goes well and that you build pleasant memories. 🐱👩‍🌾🌱🙏🕊

[@nettie3485]

You seem to have a very loving and healthy relationship with your sons, as well as all your family. I appreciate the respectful way you speak of and to your wife and giving your daughters a model for how a man should treat his partner. I liked how when Rhett came to you upset that you got down on his level and also when Reed hugged you and then he hugged Rhett.

[@vc3382]

I have to say I believe we all need a woman like Cedar to kinda motivate us guys from time to time to organize and clean up. Thanks Cedar......you're an awesome example of a mom and wife.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

What a nice compliment, thank you! 😊

[@zukgod]

You You're a very good father to your children and husband to Cedar. I didn't have a father around growing up, but I was blessed with a grandfather whom I called Dad. He was the best man I ever knew, and can only pray to be 1/4th the man he was. It makes me happy to see how your children react to you, with love and respect. My wife and I are unable to have children, and are now past the age to do so, but are considering adoption, and now living here in Idaho it seems the place to do so. I was telling my wife yesterday it feels like we've moved back into the 70s or 80s compared to the area of Washington we lived in, and those were some wonderful times to grow up. I'm rambling here, but your video made me think of so many things, your son driving off when it seemed just last week he was 11 or 12 in some of your early videos. Oh by the way you should toss a an old looking light in the copala sp, it would look really good lit up. Take care, and thank you for having such a wholesome video that reminds me of my own life. Take care, and I look forward to seeing the next one.

I have two sons and am 46yo, so I have some experience and can appreciate your insight into being a parent. Thanks for you’re honesty in the narration of you videos. Not everyone is so real. I appreciate it. My father was quite abusive towards me and so I chose to use minimal corporal punishment when raising my boys. They are the most precious things to me and it seems to have worked out fine as I’m sure your children will also be. Nice work

[@davidvansickle563]

The opening of your Ariel scenery is gorgeous. If I was 20 years younger and healthier I would move there in a second. Your comments regarding social media was so accurate yet sad that it’s true.

[@rrelampago1]

Your story about wrestling with Dad and your brothers brought a grin to my face. My brother does the same with his two boys.

Clean up challenge's a lot of us out here for sure. Being a quilter here well sometimes the worst room in my house is my quilting room LOL One day I decided to get organized and that was pretty scary but in the end I now know where pretty much everything is and also rearranged my sewing and serger machine's. Wow it's so nice to walk by that room and say "now doesn't that look good" lolol and it makes me want to go in sit down and create. Amazing that taking just a little time in the beginning of creating various work stations in a room or a garage can do especially when you need a particular tool. I love the new garage/shop and the topper on the roof is beautiful. God's blessings to you all.

Brings back memories of my dad teaching me to change an oil filter so I’d never be dependent on a man, then rewarding me with one of his “kitchen messes” while we watched The Virginian or Bonanza in our old black & white Zenith that lasted right up until they stopped making replacement tubes for it. Mom would come home from visiting kin & light into us for the state of the house, but the father/daughter time was the best as we could talk about anything while we pottered & I learned to do things that have saved me a lot of money over the years.
