The coolest part is how much we all believe you can do anything now.

[@lisasimpson8732]

Why didn't you set the bases in concrete so they wouldn't move or sink down. You will have to redo later because it's gonna be in mud. I do admire you that you can do all this stuff alone. Your one of my favorites to watch when I can find your videos

[@Audion]

Hilarious construction methodology 😂

[@juno2013]

The dancing chipmunk 🐿️ just made my day.

[@lrpcreations4016]

Guys! This isn't a chimpmunk! Its a squirrel! Big difference!

[@annseiler6071]

Chipmunk was first creature with stripe. The dancing creature was a squirrel.

[@realgoodartist]

Yeah she’s got a chipmunk and a little red squirrel. Red squirrels can do a lot of damage, chewing holes in things etc. They are cute. 😊

[@virginiacreager4331]

Tap dancing! To be specific 😂

[@amywert8088]

They both do a ton of damage!

[@sigridsrheim1501]

What I love about your channel is that I can never predict what you are going to build next!! A briiidge?? I mean lets goo, i love it all

[@rosefintaoatao]

Hhaahhaahhaa

[@amywert8088]

Cut to lovely dresses, tall grass, view, swing, picnic, bubbly, strawberries, chess, and the jewelry! Wowza!

[@sammikeiko8860]

I have a feeling what she does next is gonna be a real surprise, she’s every woman in the world 💗

[@circleofleaves2676]

Hannah glancing at the instructions, saying "I'm gonna read that later" and shoving them back in the box is the whole vibe of this video. Wake up, choose chaos, use your instinct, win in the end, repeat.

[@heksedansd.2919]

Your ability to think: I'm gonna do it!! Instead of: will I be able to do this?....is fantastic!! I so much admire you for your "drive" and positive thinking, Hanna!! There is nothing you can't do with that way of thinking! 👍👍👍 Love your videos!❤🙂👍

[@gomeara2703]

Hannah building a bridge seems so symbolic to her life… What an incredible woman she is.

[@karenolson5556]

I'm 69 years old and YOU, Hannah ...INSPIRE me to my bones!!!!! Nothing Stops you!!! Luv it!!!!

[@Britbabe53]

I'm 71 and same!

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

For future reference, All building projects start with solid level foundation and build from there up. 😊

[@PreciousRubi]

That’s what I was saying to Hannah through the screen…. Build the foundation first… But seriously, Hannah! You can do anything your mind can envision. You go girl!

[@TB-qy1et]

That tapping little guy made my day 😂 ! He’s the personified self-confidence. And the bridge is really amazing. A very poetic thing to do, building bridges in this world.

[@graygeorge7219]

i’ve been watching your channel for years and you inspired me to build out my SUV after college and travel alone, which changed my life forever. you and your sister are a CONSTANT reminder in my life that i am capable of anything and can achieve all of my dreams!! love you immensely!!!

[@flatworm00]

Probably not the most conventional way to build a bridge, but you got it done! I admire your ability to see it through to this point. I am sure it will be fine when you finish.

[@elisebrown5157]

You said something a couple videos back which should really go on a t-shirt, since it applies to most of your projects (and mine as well, it seems): "It's never just the project you're doing." In case Lupine Lane wants to get into t-shirts or stickers, lol. I LOVE that you took on a bridge project! So many guys think we women would just never build anything if it wasn't for them - and here you are, weighing all of 100 lbs, showing them who's who. Have I told you I've made Sunday my "get shit done" day just because there's usually a Hannah video to inspire and motivate me? Loved the little chipmunk so indignant that he'd been caught in your stash, loved the little frog just supervising the bridge project. You truly are living a charmed and blessed life, so surrounded by the calm of nature, the adventures of travel, and with youth and health to enjoy it all. And best yet is that I don't think you take this for granted. You clearly worked hard to get where you are, but I also see your gratitude for the gifts you've been given. Thank you for sharing it all with us.

[@Alog74]

Can I just say, with the squirrel moment, that that was THE BEST JACKERY plug I've ever encountered on HLD video. ❤ ❤ 👍

[@lindseyowen4550]

The fact that you do these things barefoot freaks me OUT. Love your videos, Hannah! I watch on Sundays while prepping dinner. 🫶🏼

[@witteney3334]

I’m just cringing all the time thinking she’s gonna drop something on a foot or cut her foot. Hopefully not but my momma anxiety is on full alert!

[@jenniferbeverley]

She is definitely more brave than me with the circular saw! Big old advocate of safety glasses after two of my friends went partially blind this year during construction projects 😑

[@sahanjay]

Watching you and your sister build the bridge was inspiring, even though it didn’t work out at first. It’s amazing to see your determination to start again the next day. Your resilience is truly admirable. Also, congratulations on launching the new jewelry pieces. They look stunning, especially the dressier earrings! It's great to see your mom and Taylor helping out. You have such a supportive family and friends! I loved the picture you shared of your childhood in IG. Seeing your dad teach you to ride a bike was so heartwarming. I’d love to see more videos from your childhood to get a glimpse of what you were like as a child.

[@fionasimagination]

You are living my dream, girl! I'm disabled, chronically ill and have been bedridden since I turned 17. I'm living vicariously through you😉 Thank you, for sharing your adventures in such a beautiful way!❤

[@reesemorgan2259]

I think a lot of us live vicariously through Hannah ha ha! I know I do..

[@sahanjay]

@@fionasimagination Sorry to hear that. Life works in mysterious ways, hope you'll get the chance to go on adventures like that someday.🍀

[@fionasimagination]

@@sahanjay thank you, unfortunately my diseases will only get worse with time. But I'm trying to enjoy what is given as much as possible 🙂

[@sahanjay]

@@fionasimagination Just remember that even the hardest winters are followed by the warmth of summer, and there’s always sunshine after the storm. I don’t know if you believe in God, but from my own experience, I’ve come to realize there is a higher intelligence beyond what we understand. Science has advanced so much, but it still has its limits, and sometimes faith can make a real difference. Maybe, as a small experiment, you could try praying once a day for seven months and see what happens. Keep your heart open, miracles do happen.🍀

[@fionasimagination]

@sahanjay I am Christian and already pray. That is something that helps me mentally but physically it hasn't made much of a difference. Although maybe if I didn't it would be even worse.

[@jenny-hamel]

Came for the bridge, stayed for the tap dancing

[@hwaynes]

Oh the times I've wished I could be there to help you with this stuff... then I think it's the struggles and challenges of doing it yourself and your way that bring you the joy of doing it all.

[@LifeWithKayMarie777]

These are my favorite chill weekend watches 🫶🏻

[@clarissasteier5951]

I knew you could do it, but was totally confused during your bridge build haha. I was like.. why doesn’t she set the structural posts in first, frame it and the angle will naturally sort itself out? But dang, I applaud you sticking with it & all of the hard work ❤

[@mindyedwards2699]

I was thinking the same.

[@LS-um3zq]

Why did it have to be so long to go over that little spit of a creek? You sound like you know your stuff so if you see this, could you explain? Tnx

[@robsnewt]

@@LS-um3zqi’m pretty sure the creek gets a lot wider in the winter months if i’m remembering Hannah’s older videos correctly

[@LS-um3zq]

@@robsnewt Thank you! That makes perfect sense!

[@tduenchan]

I think if Hannah plans to move anything heavy on it, she should set both ends on the bridge into concrete piers so the bridge doesn’t shift but if she is just walking on it and doesn’t try to drive her riding lawn mower over it yet then it is an impressive piece of impromptu engineering.

[@karenortega2046]

Im 56 years old and just ran across your bridge build… i love your channel. I hope one day to have my own little homestead.. i lived in the gamut of homes and currently in a custom built home on an acrea. I live with the ex. As a friend its his house not mine and he is not at all interested in a homestead or earth based things like me. One thing i will say though is my life has been interesting.. lots of trauma , generational abuse and i can honestly say that even in a beautiful home with the wrong person doesnt make a home❤ its high maintenance and not at all cost effective. What i find is I’m dreaming of a place that is cozy , beautiful and low maintenance. Maybe a cabin in the woods , maybe its a gothic victorian all i know is so far i haven’t found the home where i feel at home and know its where i wNt to be. Where o can make the best decisions for me , paint colors, bridges, gardens, animal friends and the like. Sometimes it seems like being alone instead of being someone who halts your constructive growth is the best thing you can do for yourself. Maybe its self growth that will precipitate one day someone who will align with you. In the meantime watching your videos gives me the inspiration i need today❤

[@br_itt]

I love your comment. I hope you can find your perfect place that feels like home to be yourself in one day :)

[@wtfxlawlz]

Sending you lots of love. ❤

[@enns5366]

I am literally in a similar position. Except I'm moving out on my own. I moving onto a sailboat to be by myself and get that piece of mind. I've been with the same man for over 25 yrs and realize that even though we dream of the same things he is constantly self sabotaging our ability to get there and in turn it's making me resentful and angry. I feel like I have a child instead of a partner. I'm 48 and don't want to keep waiting for him to figure it out. He always just thinks things are gonna work out instead of understanding you have to make things work out.

[@Alseide4]

@@enns5366so many inspiring women in the comments. you got this ladies, go get your happiness 🫶🏼

[@therunawaycamper]

I love waking up on a Sunday morning getting a hot cup of cocoa or tea or coffee and coming here to watch what it is that you were up to. I love the bridge. I am concerned about the boards that are in the ground because they will eventually rot away as they lay into the Earth. But cheese what a great job you're doing

[@ivyarianrhod]

Concrete footings would have been a good idea.

[@nataliemorrison5876]

I used to think Hannah's projects were attainable until this one 😂 You, my friend, are a BADASS ✊️

Thanks for keeping us so close. You really are the best KZbinr I’m subscribed to. Have a good Sunday!!

[@deborahbryant7530]

That dancing little chipmunk 🐿️ was so precious & it made me laugh !!! I love how you never back down from any project or give up !!! I think you are a genius to be able to come up with the design of that bridge off the top of your head & then actually putting it together !!! I wouldn't even know how to go about doing something like that !!! It's ok needing help from your friend Taylor cause you deserved help after lifting those heavy boards !!! Love seeing you & Molly doing things together, yall make a good team !!! Bridge is going to be beautiful. ❤️🙂🏍️🐿️

[@ciaraellis1061]

Imagine your future relatives/friends (or kids if you want kids) watching this back and seeing how cool you were building this on your own!!! THIS IS SO COOL! you have made me into a do it woman!!!!

I found you and your channel this year, and looked back at a couple of your old videos in the past days. I just wanted to say that you inspire me and make me smile in every single video. You are incredible and I'm so happy that we get to take part of your life.

[@Meelameels]

Sweety, when I watch your videos (esp. The building ones) they make me feel like I can do anything. I love that feeling. Please don’t stop! Soon, I will be submitting an order for your lovely jewelry. In the meantime, I watch your videos. Can’t wait to see your finished bridge. Way to go, girl!

[@tomfl58]

Usually a bridge is built from the ground up and you start with a foundation. 😁

[@tomfl58]

Put four post in the ground , two in each side on each bank . Get a post hole digger , dig four holes and put four post in the ground 4x4 x ? And built across like a table with four legs .

[@lorilei3991]

I wish you were my daughter.... you're so much like me. I love your "I can do it myself" outlook on every task you take on.

[@JohnWhite-z5s]

"Hannah-fied" You did such a good job on your bridge! You figured out things that engineers go to school for years to learn. That bracing you were doing will shore it up and make it more stable, and the treads themselves are structural, even as a finish element they tie the structure together. A floor system isn't finished and stable until the actual flooring goes in whether it's sheet material or tread design. Great work, good job, way to "Hannafy" it.

[@jillongley7543]

I really admire your tenacity! When you decide to do something, you actually DO it! I probably would have just done a simple flat footbridge.

[@audreylove7]

Hannah you’re like a modern day Disney princess 👑 You’re so amazing!

[@waitingonmarc]

I have seen sheds, houses, roads, decks and ramps but I think this is a first to see a bridge being built.

[@amandaknows100]

I’m 55 and bought a 150cc scooter about a month ago. I’m not ambitious enough for all that shifting of gears….but man I have had the best time on it….Thanks Hannah for the inspiration…it has freed my creativity and everything!!!

[@1976LFonseca]

I have never been so stressed, watching you and your projects as I was watching the bridge build 😅😅😅

[@autumndaniels1888]

Loved the dancing chipmunk. Adorable.

[@nikedoesthings]

This build is so relatable to me. From fully focused Dad Mode TM to, ooh a frog!, to dancing, to taking a break haha

[@roxannefarris1465]

You are amazing and I love your can-do attitude! Here's some unsolicited advice. 😉 You already know how to build a deck, so start with that. You'll have a secure, and level platform above the stream. Then build the ramps from it. That way, you can adjust for the uneven ground, without losing the strength and integrity of the span over the bridge. Also if the ground heaves when everything freezes over, the platform part is secure. Just a thought. 😊

[@gails8950]

When I was younger we had built a bridge over a small river and first good rain washed it away. Not sure how high yours becomes but you may want to put anchors up on shore further away in case of a good flood. Great job by the way.

[@lucylocket5262]

Your construction videos are by far my most favourite. I love that you show the whole process along with any set backs. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result of this project. Take care xx

[@littlerivercottage8558]

This whole episode was satisfying. The filming, narrative. Also, it's one of the best bridge building vids I've seen. 😁 Bravo! Gives me far too many ideas for when I build my own.

[@kimbanyc]

You are fearless and just let your process flow from some basic structural premise. Working from some square and plumb base is the right direction, but you learn more the way you did it. More than a little worried about the weight of things. you had me on edge, Hannah!

[@GoblinKingg]

Hannah darling, will you ever so some jewelry for different types of body piercings? Id love a nose ring/stud in your ethereal styles! I also think you would love designing something for an industrial as well. Since it’s just a straight bar, I have a feeling it would be a good challenge to add your whimsical magic to it!

[@barbarawyner2599]

Makes warping my loom today for the first time look like a piece of cake! I admire your persistence and knowing when to step away (step away from the bridge, step away from the loom) and just chill out a bit. Compassion for self and renewed focus always follows. Keep going! And I love red squirrels! They can be soooo feisty! Barbara

[@kickliquid]

I think you get a medal for being the first to build a complex structure like a bridge starting with the bridge first and then adding the foundation and supports later LOL, kidding aside I always admire your attempt and determination and doing these types of projects are always a learning experiences. Hope to see its completion in the future.

[@madtownangler]

It's too late now but you could have used those metal connectors plates that they use to hold roof pieces together instead of drilling holes and using bolts to connect your board pieces

[@robinbrown7953]

and it seems like they should have started out with a support base on each side if the creek that were level to each other than they could have run the boards that would be the walkway/bridge, and then added the ramp part that connected the bridge to the ground…looks like they tried to build all the top before there was anything to hold it all up….i guess it all worked out and the end…but keep thinking of the phrase “work smarter, not harder”

[@ivyarianrhod]

@@robinbrown7953 And footings! Where are the footings?

[@smileymel07]

Hannah, I'm so impressed by your ability to create a bridge basically all by yourself even though there were struggles you're not giving up! 🤗After watching you for the last several years I've wanted to learn how to use a circular saw. So that I can make a couple of counter like tables with storage and maybe a built in shelf someday for my art studio... the urge to build things out of wood gets stronger everyday! 😅

[@GGFan]

Finding the solution to build a bridge by just doing it and never give up, amazes me. I'm planning first, may be calculating the static requirements and what profiles I then need ... Hanna you're like a scout just going forward in the wild and coming through it. Wow 👏👏😃

[@StarshineInTHEnorth]

Well alright☺️ nice. As you may know Hannah we can have swamp land in the Northwoods🌲so for one of my future projects I learned a few things good and bad from watching your build. It is an opportunity! In life there will be many🪶we humans need to choose to see things as such. At times on the daily. Glad to see you follow through with a specific build overall. Doing it one project at a time for your videos. It was more calming. Less chaotic. Keep it up 👍🏼

[@gusbracewell3856]

Hannah also add some crisscross bracing on the underside side of the bridge for strength some in the center and on each approach under side good luck with the build,Godspeed.

[@realmister7]

Hannah I look forward to your vids every week. I have the utmost respect for how you throw yourself into these things and I know in the end it will be great. I'm sure though that I won't be the only one to suggest that if you had worked out where your 2 or 4 main supports needed to go and gotten those in first you would have saved yourself an awful lot of lifting and balancing as everything could have been supported by those as you went along. I think initially your idea was not to have uprights perhaps which is definitely a more complex design. This is not a criticism though - I love what you do - I just really wanted to come help you on this one but I have no doubt you will make it work in the end x

[@theresarogers5002]

Glad to see your sister on your channel again and she’s a helper!
