Your shocks for your door need to be moved in word more to where the black part is about a half inch inside the cabin.They’re closing all the way but they are not pivoting downward to allow the wall to close all the way.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks i'll try again

[@Darth_Nihilus_Sith_Lord]

Adam is right on point here. It’s not the shocks it’s the placement. They are compacting straight inward and can’t rotate as they should. Do some research on where they need to be placed and they will work. Great video! ❤️

[@normalowery3669]

I read comments to make sure someone suggested this before I did. I love your videos.

[@lindaSee89]

Oh my--we didn’t notice the rope either.

[@RobertJLessard]

Yep came to say the same. Think about how long the shocks are when compressed. That's how far apart the mounts need to be when the wall is closed. Same as on a truck cap etc. The way you had it the shock would have to compress to be 1 inch long which is impossible and why it kept breaking off. 👍

DON'T RESPOND! 2) The water is that color because of tannins 3) Maysie is fine- she's in retirement. I have to be careful where I take her so it's not too hard on her, especially in summer. 4) Glad you all are enjoying my moment with the rope :) 5) The shocks cannot be installed in the closed position- you can't close them by hand. It even warns not to try on the package. 6) Does is surprise any of you that geometry isn't my spirit animal? I WILL get them right! (someday. maybe. if. i'm. lucky.)

Those gas assisted struts need to be fully closed and in a 'locked' position to be installed correctly. From the factory, these types of supports are sent sealed and in a compressed ( not extended ) position. Door to be shut and tightly closed, then the struts are attached to your framing and to your door. After attaching same , slowly open door and release the ' keeper' that has been holding the strut closed, while you are pushing open the door for the first time. This should do it for an initial installation. If the door does not fully open as you would like , then longer struts may have to be used. The ones you have now might not give you the desired amount of ' opening ' in the door as you once had, using only the wood pole for your prop. Bill S.

[@kevinknight470]

Adam Nitro got it perfect when he mentioned the pivoting action. The way you mounted the struts they push directly against the door at a 90 degree angle. You need the struts to move away from the door as it closes. Watch a hatch back vehicle door close that has struts, you will probably say "of course" The principle is simple once you see it. God bless.😃

[@NGinuity]

Hey Brooke, for that hinged wall, consider a garage door spring system rated for that weight. They're not as cheap as gas struts but not terrible in price. Wind it reverse of a garage door. Instead of pulling a door up causing the cable to spool in. your wall would move out causing the cable to spool out as well. You can counter wind that wall with a spring to the point where you can open the wall with two fingers. Along the same manner, mount a handle on both sides and have a frame to frame latch to keep it from opening unintentionally. I think the gas struts are too short for that wall. Typically to achieve mechanical advantage they'd need to be about half the length of the wall, the base mounted all the way up on the frame and the piston mounted at the location of the wall with it shut. I think they're as strong as they should be and you're running into binding because the uncompressed angle is too drastic. Source: Former Transam owner who hates gas struts 🙂

Hi Brooke, try installing the spring shocks from the inside with the wall closed, then you can figure out the adjustment needed for the height. Should be installed first in the close position? Love your channel!

[@typewriter6885]

Looking closer, perhaps the absorbers are installed the wrong way, should they be flipped ... black on top/silver on the bottom?

[@judithwilber2540]

@@typewriter6885 i think they need to be in closed position and the door/wall closed at install so they are all the way in...thats why it wasnt closing cuz they were halfway sticking out

[@garywood702]

Exactly my thought. Close the door and then install for that position. Might not give you the opening Brooke is looking for though...

[@craigthode615]

Another thing to take into consideration, the orientation of the gas strut. There is a seal that holds the gas inside the shock, and around 50mls of oil inside the cylinder which keeps this seal lubricated,...... only if the orientation is correct. When the cylinder is closed it should have the chrome spear lower than the black cylinder, so the oil inside the cylinder is lubricating the seal. All gas struts have this same principle. More often than not, when gas struts fail, they are mounted upside-down , or , at least, in a manner that the oil inside the cylinder, isn't lubricating the seal. Eventually the gas leaks past the seal, if it's dry.

That steak with mushrooms and onions had me practically salivating! I so enjoy your adventures. I retired last August 2021, that with my wife of 21+ years of marriage passing to heaven with respiratory issues and finally diagnosed with Covid in 2020, there now is much more time available to sit back and relax, watching your KZbin entries. The outdoors that God provides bring special comfort to life these days and at 64 your excursions still allow me to travel along in the slower pace of retirement. You motivate me to once again to break out the tent again. But as I have learned now alone, the joys of simple pleasures have lost much of their luster without my spouse by my side to love. Lately the heat in the south has been way too much in Alabama but we know cooler days in later months are ahead which I'm looking forward to. Maybe I can seek out the peaceful tranquility of a forest soon. I too have been known to fragrance the woods cooking a mean steak with bell peppers and onions and a side order of baked potato. Thank you so much for your videos, inviting love of the outdoors, simple prayers for tasty morsels and a thankful heart for God's amazing creation of nature. Your videos are something of great value which are very rare these days. God's speed and safety to you and yours throughout your future journeys ahead. P.S. I also enjoyed the series ALONE with you as well as your husband. Your adventures allow people to travel along and that is truly a gift to give. What a great purpose you have to serve! Happy Trails my friend!

I truly appreciate it! I'm so sorry for your loss. Hopefully you can find that peace outdoors alone in time... it can be a blessing to have alone time too!

I am giggling so much, I would have totally also not realized I had the rope still attached. I am dying, it is so refreshing to watch someone else have these little moments in life.

You are one helluva woman. I love watching your build. It looks so homey.. I wish I was 30 years younger cause I would of loved doing builds & other things with with my hands... GOD BE WITH YOU EVERYDAY..

[@lynnbeard2450]

thanks for bringing us along! Moose is such a hoot! Your patience is an inspiration. Hang in there missy. Here in TX the high yesterday was 111 degrees fahrenheit (feels like 116)! Would love to be there enjoying the cold with you! Love your videos. Hugs from Texas.

Great adventure! Tenacious persistence on the wall, you’ll get it eventually. Miss Da Woof, but Da Moose is so darn cute!! He even climbs trees!😂❤️

[@maryreed2762]

Moose the supervisor 🤩 I always think about Daisy Maizy-I know she’s getting older but lots of great adventures with her❤️ You and Dave always bless my heart with everything y’all do! Thank you so much😍❤️😍

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks!

[@philosophicalviking6808]

I was going to ask if Daisy Maizy was ok. I miss seeing her, I had a collie many, many moons ago and she always brings those good memories to the surface.

[@susanpharr6809]

Wow! I am learning so much watching you wield that hammer, start that chainsaw, and just do it!! Sadly I gave away my antique typewriter… love all that you teach us - and all that you do with such enjoyment and a happy attitude. The world needs a LOT of your can do attitude…and now! ☀️🌈🌻🌲💜🌠👏

[@lisaglassford9574]

I never thought I'd ever get hooked on a KZbin, but I love yours. When you go out in nature, I'm right along with you. It's a Good feeling. I love your spiritual, loving, giving soul. ❤️

[@warrengoss7547]

Watching both of you (on both channels) is so relaxing and motivating. God bless you and all your family.

[@stickstickley5098]

I was with you every step of the way & feeling your frustrations and bewilderment as well. we’ve all been there at least once tho but the way you handled it is what matters most. Love your videos Brooke and your spirit and how you always pray for other people too. God bless you!!

[@janetwheeler4210]

I love spending time with you and moose in the woods on Sundays 🙂, you got a lot done , be proud of yourself,

[@tjjb2383]

Well at least I am not the only one. What entertainment. I laughed and laughed. Then I remembered I am in the city watching on you tube and realized that the joke is on me.

[@ItKiKi]

Thank you for sharing your life with us and for the prayer. Watching your videos help me feel more at peace.

[@prudentobserver9778]

Thank you so very much for being such an inspiration to so many of us. Your tenacity and faith make me feel like, even though I am "about to exit my 50's" that I actually might be able to do at least some of what you teach us. Thank you and God bless!

[@glendacrouch1877]

My day is always blessed to see you! Brooke, I am always praying for you & Dave. Oh ps love all my goodie’s I have got from you, can’t wait to receive my hoodie & shirt 👕. Great video of course!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

[@beckygarry1200]

I’m in the Deep South! I’d love to see 40 degrees on a summer Day! Looovvveee your videos my friend!!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

thanks!

[@Hootowls5]

I see people say this all the time, what I don't understand is why not move to a state that's known to be cold all year around?

[@tea4twoby548]

Debra Hewitt, what state is colder all year round?

[@01splitpea]

I love your knowledge, skills, abilities, work ethic and ingenuity, but what makes you divinely you; my favorite trait of all your admirable traits, is your honesty. Thank you. You are a champion among women.

[@tonyz6421]

Girl, I'm so glad you're eating steak! It looks wonderful, and praise the Lord 👍🏼✝️✝️
