Hello Slim , thanks for the great upload. It was very interesting watching you build your extension. The fireflies brought back memories of visiting my sister in Ohio in 1980 when she lived there , had never seen anything like them having flown over from Liverpool England. The area looks amazing with all the wildlife. I look forward to your next video , well done so far, and it looks sturdy.

When I was a little girl living in Georgia, I loved when the firefly’s came out in the evening. I would put a few in a mason jar to enjoy them prior to letting them fly away into the night. I have never seen any here in South Florida. Could you believe that the bear walked right by the cabin? 🐻 What a great build!

The firefly segment was unlike anything I have seen before. Also it must be real nice to have a yard covered in deer salad. Nothing wins their hearts quicker than a bowl of fresh greens. The addition looks well thought out and stout, not at all like those scenes in "The Unforgiven" where the sheriff is building his own house. You've really nailed this one!

Your cabin remodel video''s have been my absolute favorite on your channel. Having said that, I also enjoy your traveling video's too. I'm hoping that one day this cabin will become a permanent home for you. I know in the last video you talked about certain things that have to happen, in order for this to become a permanent living space for you. That Black Bear was looking for Poo's stash of honey. I can tell he's a teen bear, because no adult bear is going to risk getting themselves shot within an human encampment.

You did good building this little addition by yourself. One suggestion if you do something like this again. Sheet the walls before you stand them up. Little walls like this could be raised with one person. Usually laying your sheeting horizontal and staggering the joints is more structural but the end result is you got it done.

It was rather thrilling watching you do the roof and your creativity! It looks so good!

I enjoy these videos and can identify with your challenges as I am a five-foot tall woman and built my own home. I skidded the roof decking sheets up along 2x4x16 boards, using my 4-wheeler to do the hauling. It worked well and made it safe. There's always a way - as you have proven over and over.
