[@bl300zxx]

Good luck with the move looking forward to see the new sop setup. All the best

[@MightyMiniWorkshop]

Currently packing up my shop and moving it across town to a smaller less nice area but I’m sure we will both make it work! Good luck with the move!

[@elenamakes]

Thank you :) best of luck with your move! Hope it goes smoothly.

[@p.a.u.l.555]

Good luck on the move Elena, just think the next workshop will be even better , take care 😊

[@Hog-g2z]

Ps I have been moving to France from the Uk , since 2019, in now 2024, I am still not settled in yet, my work shop is to small, been trying to build a 6x6 mt garage on the side, with only a small amount of money each month coming in as I am retired,

[@efraimlouisegolicruz795]

wishing the best luck on your new journey! God Bless Elena! ☺❤

[@rickhammer1905]

Wishing you the best in your new area!!!

[@ULJoshmg2011]

Hi Elena, we were missing a new video 😮 thank you .. new changes, all the best for you and ur family

[@elenamakes]

Thank you!

[@diytiff]

The otters ❤🥹 was definitely my fav part of this video. I love kayaking but I haven’t done it in years, now I want to again lol. This was very enjoyable to watch and good luck with all the unpacking! I look forward to your next project or adventure :)

[@elenamakes]

Thanks! I would 100% recommend getting out on a kayak in the early morning. It’s very peaceful 😌 and yeah the otters were so adorable.

[@bryankienow5563]

Is that Elkhorn slough? My son had an elementary school field trip there last year and it looks so familiar.

[@elenamakes]

@@bryankienow5563 Yes, it is. Nice area.

[@galvandavis]

Yes, I want to see the new wshop set up. 😊

[@jimmcnett]

Good luck with the move. I think you will make the new space work for you. I can't wait to see what you do next.

[@andrewvaldez5340]

I can relate to moving to an area isolated. We moved from California to Washington state which turned out to be a live changing mistake after retiring. We were able to move back to California with all my woodworking past skills that helped give us what we have today. Good luck on your move and hope to see you back on line. Just remember that the light at the end of the tunnel, may be a short or long distance, but you will get there.👍👍👍

[@elenamakes]

Happy to hear you were able to make it back to a place you are happy :) thanks!

[@Vinny-i8o]

Good morning my friend God bless you 😊

[@danielcgomez]

All the best at the new place!

[@Wingman115]

We made the choice to move about a year ago. Best thing that ever happened to us. It also gave me the chance to redesign my workshop and work space. Congrats on new beginnings.

[@elenamakes]

Good perspective :) I’ll see it as an opportunity to improve my configuration.

[@michaelhancock5606]

Wishing you and Kyle all the best on your move and getting yourselves established. It is definitely a lot of work but sitting back and reflecting on where you have been and where you are headed should make you very proud and happy. I look forward to more of your videos and adventures. I enjoyed the kayak ride. Originally being from Northern California, it looked like you were in the Monterey coastal area, so peaceful and serene. May happiness follow you wherever you might be 😊

[@elenamakes]

Thank you! Moving is always more work and more tiresome than I think it’ll be but we’re over the hump now :)

[@marcusdavis8650]

Hey, I’m sorry you guys had to move again but it’s all about making yourself happy and I totally understand that I hope all things go well and I look forward to seeing you make your new workshop and start on some new projects by the way I like bike riding And I love what you did with your bike in the last video

[@elenamakes]

Yeah it’s a pain to move, but the right choice if it’ll make you happier :) which this move did.

[@marcusdavis8650]

@@elenamakes happy for you

[@barryhamm3414]

Moving is one of the worst things a person can do, fully agree that putting heavy tools on wheels is a good idea, some tools however eg a lathe are best not put on wheels as they need a solid level base. As regards space saving ideas have you ever considered a flip top stand? There are lots of plans available and easy to build out of 15mm ply.

[@GabrielMazzeiAlejandro]

Good luck with the new start⭐!🎉

[@elenamakes]

Thank you!!

[@joes20]

I wish you and your family all the best as you move to your new home. May it bring you much happiness and joy.

[@Hog-g2z]

Good morning 🌅, Elena and partner, 👥🦮 😂, amazing scenery, shame to lose all your trials, and I wish you all the best in your new location, success the future, ❤from France.

[@elenamakes]

Thank you 😊

[@brokenbarbespoke]

Speaking from personal experience, make sure to write "SHARP!" on all the boxes where there are saw blades... ask my finger tips how I know to do this XD. A very good luck to you in the move and I look forward to following along in your new space!

[@elenamakes]

oh no! Luckily for us no finger tips were hurt in this move.

[@stevepiechock9234]

We wise you all the best the world has to offer in your new location. Moving is always stressful and chaotic I hope your new location is everything you both hoped it will be. Just remember to stop and give yourselves a break occasionally. In the past we had to move a number of times. I remembered the shed you had for a brief time and the upgrade to the garage. You put this together as though we were experiencing it with you. That is another thing I enjoy about you. You invite your viewers to experience what you are doing with you. Be kind to yourselves. I look forward to seeing you again!

[@Hisham_HMA]

hate the life of moving all the time, but i understand sometimes you are forced to. Good luck to you

[@MalekM]

I wish you a happy life in your new home 🫶🏼🌿🤍🤍🤍🤲🏼

[@elenamakes]

Thank you so much!

[@12stormy13]

Me and my wife kayak, and I think she would love all that wildlife on your ride. Do you mind sharing where your kayaked?

[@elenamakes]

Elkhorn Slough. I would recommend it!

[@paulsiess5551]

Hi Elena. We really enjoy your channel. What were the dimensions of your shed workshop?

[@elenamakes]

Inside space was ~9.5ft x 7.5ft

[@paulsiess5551]

@@elenamakes Awesome thanks. I'm thinking of setting up in my shed.

[@m.rei85]

Do you plan to someday own a place you could call your own, to have a permanent shop space, really worth investing into? I totally the need to be closer to friends and family, especially when you're very dependent on that social energy. I hope your move goes smooth and the new garage will make a decent shop space when finished.

[@elenamakes]

Yes! Home ownership is a big goal for us, but California homes are expensive 😅

[@chrisott9129]

The box monster cracked me up

[@elenamakes]

An apex (or abox?) predator indeed lol

[@barryhamm3414]

Should you ever start getting really heavy tools an engine hoist might prove to be a good investment, even the less expensive ones will lift a 1,000kg easiy.

[@bigburlymikesmswoodworking]

Moving almost always sucks. I think it took us a couple of years to finish unpacking some of our stuff when we moved to our new house almost 7 years ago. Good luck with your new space!!

[@elenamakes]

Oh wow that is a long unpacking period. I tried to power through the unpacking because it’s taken months for us in the past lol

[@johnvnuk5650]

All the best you guys… family and friends can never be replaced or satisfied, even through Zoom! Looking forward to what’s next!!!

[@elenamakes]

Agreed ☺️

[@Chrispy9393]

Moving is the worst. I've only moved twice in my 31 years on this planet and my wife and I never intend upon doing it again. I'll put an addition on my house before I move, lol. Amazing how you've done it so many times. It'll be interesting to see how you setup your next workshop space though.

[@elenamakes]

Yeah I wouldn't recommend moving every year 3 years in a row, it's no fun. We would love to settle in and buy a home to be in long term eventually.

[@sigurdt9994]

hoow'd you manage the two fish tanks

[@elenamakes]

It's a bit challenging, but I take out the fish and put them in smaller individual containers with holes in the lid for transportation, then I take out most of the water and cover the top of the tanks in plastic so the plants don't dry out and the tanks are light enough we can carry them. Then we transported them in our car and try to immediately set them back up when we get to the new place.

[@p8prslar]

Is there away to make your workshop into modules. Say something like a table saw on its own base w/wheels. Ready to move, place the lid….wheel it out. New place, wheel into place, lock wheels, remove lid and ready to use.

[@elenamakes]

It’s already mostly setup in modules with each tool on its own rolling base and my latching system :) definitely helps during moves like these.

[@MarcelnicolaeBadau]

Păcat că vă mutați în altă parte❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AndyCallaway]

It sucks when you spend so much time setting up, only to find you have to move again. I hope the new place works out for you. 🤞

[@elenamakes]

I agree. Thanks!

[@joelroberts1581]

Noooooo! You guys have had to move so often during the time I’ve followed you on KZbin. I’m sad that you have to give up another workshop.

[@elenamakes]

Yeah it’s a bit sad, but overall it’s for the best :)

[@cf5914]

😍😍😍

[@fritz4345]

Hiring movers is always the way to go. Good luck at the new place!

[@elenamakes]

It was so worth it! Can’t believe all our previous moves we just did it ourselves with the help of some friends 😅

[@m3ntal_c0re]

Meanwhile im to lazy to even clean up my cellar 😅

[@SaurabhSingh-lr8tt]

I found your chanel searching for a good dewalt drill review lol and now am here. If I were you, I'd do the opposite. I am gonna do the opposite, I am in the process to, I am shifting from city area into the forest and backcountry. I will still keep your talk in mind, about isolating oneself too much, So I will find an area between isolation and city. All the best to your journey! Keep posting, your content is very very satisfying, also the way you're calm and composed has me follow you always!

[@elenamakes]

I think it’s really dependent on you as a person. As much as Kyle and I wanted to thrive in a more rural area because we love a lot about that life, we are pretty social and we struggled with that lack of social connection in that area. That said, we’re not moving to a big city either! We’re very much small to medium town folk :)

[@davidstewart1153]

The paid movers often weigh your stuff, so if you get 2 or 3 of those moves, you can track this disturbing household weight gain trend.

[@優さん-n7m]

Moving on to OnlyFans?

[@elenamakes]

What because I’m a woman? So sad that you feel the need to leave comments like these.
