If you have been looking for a video about a weird girl in the desert building a replica of her abandoned house for her squirrel friend then... DUDE, this is SO the video for you. It's basically a love story for Gary. I know y'all think he's a chipmunk but he is, in fact, a white-tailed antelope ground squirrel and he is SO HANDSOME. As I am slowly clearing away all the garbage on my property, I am slowly removing all the hiding places that make Gary feel safe whilst traversing the otherwise barren wasteland. So, I will be periodically producing Gary house videos. Is this useful to anyone? Undoubtedly, no. I'm doing these builds for me... also gary, obviously. This is the first time that I actually enjoyed the process of building something. For realsies, after six years and 50+ videos.... THIS was fun. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Anyways... Gary was a complete diva and refused to help.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the Verse.

10:34 okey it turns out that no matter where you are in the world what language you speak, you use the same noise to call our animal friends😂

[@ijessup]

haha! right?!!!

And... we are all brothers and sisters under God. Regardless of our ethnicities, we are one huge human family. We all want the same things, have the same basic needs. I so wish we could stop trying to destroy one another.

No wall done in the house and already a piano inside. That's what I call having priorities...😎...! I love, what you're doing there - keep up with your great work!

[@ginadelsasso288]

I feel so bad for that piano. It gets super hot in there during the day and desserts get cold at night so i am not sure how long the sound board will last living in those conditions, not to mention how many chipmunks are going to make a home in there while she is gone from the house. I dont get it, when there is so much to be done, why would you waste money on a piano or movers for that matter when nothing in the home is finished and the piano will just be ruined?

[@MrDonkrypton]

@@ginadelsasso288 Yeah, you're right. But I have to mention, that the chipmunks have their own piano!

[@heatherthomas7821]

I like that Gary's House is a duplicate of your house. I'm interested in what the movers thought of bringing in a baby grand in a bare house.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

I love EVERYTHING about this! And the fact that the first thing you put in the poop house is a grand piano maybe be my favorite thing ever! I'll start making a Gary sized cello this weekend so you guys can duet no matter what instrument each of you are feeling that day!

Great job Garies Mom!! I’m always so impressed with how you approach, well, everything. On your terms, with your goals, and always with a tongue in cheek and a peanut (or hammer) in hand.

[@topsecretbear9918]

@@ijessup I get it. I was suppose to build a crawl space door yesterday but instead decided to teach myself how to rebuild the front suspension on a classic truck. It happens.. just go with it and learn all you can.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Squirrels are interesting to watch after they take food. They bury it for later. However there's often a thief squirrel who follows the 1st one from a distance. It will dig up the buried food and take it away for their own. The fun part is watching a squirrel fake-bury food and then run off. The thief stops following the 1st squirrel and looks for the buried food. Meanwhile the 1st squirrel runs off and buries the food with no thief to dig it up.

[@kallienielsen3898]

can i just say that i love this video. It was a much need creative break for the home. plus it gives all the Garys a place to hang out. lol

[@ositagordita8550]

In case a predator corners them in their house, they may need an escape hatch at th back 😁✌🐾🐾 Maybe a sundeck on the roof or a picnic table outside with a kiddie pool.

[@ijessup]

these are excellent ideas

[@heczone]

Lol well she can build some more for all the acreage Jess owns! They can have multiple designed houses

[@ositagordita8550]

@@heczone A drip water bottle would be nice on th inside of the house when the local water supply is low or they have company 😁 Also, maybe a slide for the kiddie pool.

Gary content is good content 👍 🐿️🥰

[@ijessup]

i concur

[@Arionlappy]

The befores and afters are shocking! The space feels so trendy but it's a very classic timeless style. Industrial but rustic. Cottagecore meets desertcore. And really smart having so much storage space for peanuts.

[@midlife_minimalist]

So many great things about this video including you being a pianist on top of all your other talents. I’m still waiting for the day you find their peanut stash - I can only imagine how big it is at this point. Love the tiny Gary house.
