Hey guys been following you from almost the very beginning. I mean I think Erin was still using her cell! Love your life style, family, dedication, humor.... Just thought I would give you guys a heads up! Professional painter here, To make your deck stain easier next time, spray it on then back roll it with a roller/roller handle and a 3/8ths nap roller cover. Just finished doing a deck with multi layers and 8000 sqft. Team of 4 guys staining took a total of 10 hrs to stain. Doing the way you guys did it it would have taken a week. Love all you guys do. Keep up the super quality work. Its rare.

At a minimum Adam Weishaupt was a Jesuit coadjutor… but he could have also been an actual Jesuit priest who took the highest Jesuit oath of induction.

Chuck knows where he wants to be in front of the fire. He has confidence in Leon to take over outside supervision. Good thing he didn’t see you guys goofing off with the pumpkin bomb lol. Deck looks great! Team Chuck!

[@charlesreece5350]

Keep in mind even when the bucket is empty, you still have about a quart of product in the hose. You just need to add some water to the bucket to help push the remaining product out through the sprayer. A trick a painter taught me about 20 years ago. Love the show!

That's an epic way to light up a pumpkin and also to end an episode. It's so cool to follow what you all are doing with the property. I've been following you guys since a couple of months into building the house, I generally wait until there are multiple video's as so many begin with uploading and then you get interested in seeing where they take it and nothing.

[@wendyhenschel.]

I agree

[@Aldeezy209]

Absolutely. The education system is set up to keep you a slave to the system. More than half of what is learned you don’t end up using in life or putting into practical application. Homeschooling is the way. Teach them useful things they will need to know.

[@WestExplainsBest]

Homeschooling has a lot of key educational ingredients: small class size, relevant problems, flexible schedule, and invested role models (Erin and Josh sre great examples). Additionally, most schools these days are catering 'learning' to standardized tests instead of real-life skills.

[@daviddunne8483]

As a former teacher I often said that what you were in school for was.. . To Learn how to learn.

[@TacTechMic]

Back when I was doing custom painting and finishes, I would use a bug sprayer to do simple tasks like this on decks, fences, etc. It's nice and disposable, and it puts on plenty of product on very quickly, no real need for anything more than a shield, and you can have someone dry brushing or rolling it out if need be. Bug sprayers are great for laying on a protective finish, like we used to use CWF as it was the best at the time. You guys have a work of art there. peace and love

[@sherryshannonhouse7527]

House and large deck looks great. My husband said need another coat of stain. After I watched the second time. I don't think need another coat of stain. After the touch ups on the deck. What is next the Rallings put around the deck. Or is it the siding with the stones. Then last project finished up the putting the fence on the post. Erin I think you should write a children's cute story of Leon the Ram lamb and Chukie the dog and Hens laying eggs everywhere. Your daughter little Ellie founding eggs around the farm and your sons and Josh doing the building projects. Everyone keep up the good work. 😃😊🙂

Your home is looking so beautiful! The love that you have put into your home sure shows.💞 I do, however have a question for you Josh & Erin. It’s been several episodes since we’ve seen “Bruce, the Steer”. You had mentioned that he was a family pet and as such, I’m assuming that he was not, as some good folks have mentioned, been put in your freezer. What has happened to him? Was there an issue of him using the solar panels and/or stanchions as a rubbing post and as such, you had to re-home him elsewhere?

@@Coyote-tc1ww He was a comedian in the 60's, 70's and 80's and 90's who was famous for (at some point) putting a pumpkin or watermelon on a bar stool at the edge of the stage and smashing it with a huge sledge hammer. It exploded from the force. Bits and pieces went in every direction for quite a distance. The people in the first ten rows learned to wear raincoats and bring umbrellas. He was pretty funny. You can probably find him on KZbin.
