Funny, as soon as I saw your caulking I thought, oh Ryan and Ringworm. I used it on a couple of spots on my shed last winter and it has worked great. I’m sure it will be perfect in your application too. PS, thanks for your info/recommendation, (some time ago), regarding your battery chainsaw. I picked up a MSA 70C (update to your model) back in May. OMG do I love that saw! I use it way more than my gas one. Take care of that finger dear heart. See you next week.

[@johngonzales4516]

Hi Missshelly, happy Sunday. Thank you for another great video. You are one dedicated young lady. Seeing you in your cold winter jacket and hat just picking away at your flooring with a headlamp speaks volumes about the person you are. I was born and raised in Wyoming and had to do a lot of work outside in the cold and it's so easy to just put it off for another day, but it takes that special something to stay with it to get it done. You have that special something. Thank you also for always sharing video and pics of your beloved dogs. I miss him too. 😞 I will be waiting for the next one. Please have a wonderful and safe week. 🙂

[@michygoss7148]

It is the truth! Working in winter/cold has its challenges and it really does take so much more effort to get things done. Days are short and nights are long, and I have come to enjoy working at night in the dark with lights. 💝 Thank you!

Michy, Your little creek side fort is coming along well. Your creativity and aesthetic when using recycled wood and windows is masterful. I'm with you if I can avoid going into town I take the "let's see what will do" method every time. It is always so odd when some pets simply don't approve of the camera. Ol' Clyde was always a ham and pro happy strike-a-pose hound. Seeing him always brings a smile to my face... and now a tear to my eye. Your editing of these videos gets better and better. But watch It out! It sounds like Foxy Loxy has been hanging around with Steve, Good thing you headed home to cook a meal for him, you know what a terrible flirt Foxy is!!

Hi Nancy!! Isn’t it so cute!!?! I can’t wait to have it all finished so I can put the stove on and hang out in it 😊 Always make do with what we’ve got first!

Hi. Yes, that roof repair is pretty good. I used the spray kind on the edge of some flashing. And that sealed it pretty good. That was about 3 years ago. It was an upstairs porch job. I redid the original porch that someone else did years before and was not properly installed. So the rains and the weathering began to rot out the flooring. So I was asked to dismantle the entire porch and reconstruct the deck. Hey that singer sounds like Stevie Nicks. Another good video. I love it.

[@nomadicoasis9260]

if i was to put that floor down unseasoned, I would leave it un-nailed and floating. then in 6 months when the boards shrink. just close the gaps and nail them home. no gaps. my friend wanted to hide the itchy pink on his walls but the yellow ceder was wet. (he chainsaw milled it) he nailed it on the walls but left the nail heads out. when the boards dried he pulled one off at a time starting at the bottom closed the gap and drove the nails home. looked fantastic! however... there were problems when you leaned against the walls ect. some torn shirts and some blood now and again.

I've installed lots of flooring in my life. Never done what you have done. If that wood is a bit green. Then you might be prepared for some shrinkage. If so, save any standing dust, you create to mix up with wood filler, so you can patch any gaps.

Well...... Aren't you just a real trooper to keep going even with a broken finger and after someone pissed in your cornflakes. Another Smiley Sunday for me. My dog Lilly acted the same way whenever I aimed a camera or my phone in her direction. She would always turn her head. Hey..... I still don't see any gun ports in your "Fort". How about putting some shutters on the windows with gun port in them. That way you will be read for the zombie apocalypse. Good ol' Clyde. He was a force of nature. You know.... Ryan used a router to make a "chinking groove" before he applied the tar. But he is a real Ryobi fan boy and has all the latest battery powered tools. But I like your "Fort" just like it is. Oh... bye the way. I bet Red Green would be proud of Steve for his practical use of duct tape on his jacket. 😁😁😁

[@tsmartin]

RE:Chinking. I know it's too late now but for the next time you build a fort ... and I have no doubt you will ... consider putting a bead of the stuff between the boards before you nail them up so the "stuff" can squish out a bit and seal the gap instead of going back later to fill them in. Not sure I explained that right. Hope you got the gist. 24:33 Consider making a template out of cardboard the next time you come across oddball areas.
