Part 5. Tearing down the old porch, getting' ready for a new build!

We start to make way for a new building! Hans arrives to help tear down the old porch, we get the old 49 Chevy moved onto the Patio!
todays update

[@patriciayoung3267]

I love to hear Hans laugh. Sounds like he and Zenobia are very happy together.

[@kerinholmstrom250]

There's nothing quite like a midlife romance. They know what they want & need without the emotional rollercoaster of youth!

[@grizfanjoe]

Hans is awesome! He is showing us young guys how to be a upstanding gentleman for sure!

[@janetnash]

Oh me too x

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear P.Y. 👍👌👏 I totally agree! Best regards, luck and health.

[@SEDGE2024]

Hearing Hans laugh makes me smile. He has the greatest laugh. The truck looks great in it's new spot.

[@kerra3699]

Hans looks so much better, healthier, than he did a year ago. What a difference kindness and a stable home can make. Hans is a new man.

[@alicedupreez1072]

What a wonderful story of Hans finding love.... An independent woman. So inspirational thank you for sharing this with day with us

[@grizfanjoe]

Yes! Hes showing us younger guys how to be a gentleman!

[@reesep6847]

Awwww.... Hans found his perfect match!!!!!

[@amandataub842]

Hans and Zenovia are so wonderful together. I love watching them. Alex is a good man, a good friend and neighbor. It is nice to see the truck on the patio and the patio is looking good.

[@shannonbailey8201]

Hans is a great guy. Looking good can’t wait for the addition.

[@briansmith1042]

Hans and his wife seems so happy. Makes me smile

[@drofmadness]

Always enjoy seeing that lovable Viking and his sweet Lady .They are so much fun

[@sjt609]

I concur! 👍🏼

[@leisasmith4983]

Hans and Zinovia are so fun together. Great recycling job!

[@princessskate8016]

Curiosity Incorporated-Hi Alex, Hans, and Zinovia! I have so enjoyed this vlog today. I just love Hans and Zinovia! I am so happy they have found each other and they seem so very happy-they compliment each other. I see such a big change in Hans with Zinovia. He is no longer that loner he was. He was always laughing and very cordial, but now he is so spontaneous and talkative. He smiles a lot and seems fulfilled in life. She is so creative and they work along side each other in unison with such admiration for each other. She is the Yin to his Yang. Please, if you can, include these two in some holiday vlogs so we can share in their first holiday happiness. I know its a while away, but just putting that bug in your ear, if you will. God Bless, and please give Melissa my love and tell her that we haven't forgot about Dave. He was a really nice man who became part of our lives for far too short a while. Your children are growing up before our eyes, Alex. Thanks for this ride. :-)

[@MelArchbold]

Thank you so much for the love❤️ It means a lot that so many people got to share my Dad with me.

[@quietone748]

I think about Dave every time I see something new happening at the shop. He would have been enthusiastically helping as well. Such a kind man.

[@AngelaGWillis]

YAS!!! For those of us that need things to coordinate, thank you, Hans and Zinovia for adding color to the back of the building! It looks great!

[@matthewfox3163]

I love the truck on the patio...What an awesome showpiece

[@lisacraze1]

I just love those two! If I were a TV producer, I'd base a sitcom on their adventures!

[@treehuggingmusician595]

I think the back door entrance looks great! It looks like it was original to the building. The old truck looks great on the patio too.

[@vessiecakes]

Hans and Zinovia, absolute couple goals 💜💜💜 I'm so happy to see Hans in such a loving relationship especially with such a strong woman who's a boss at construction 💪💪 where is Zinovia's channel I would follow in a heartbeat 👍💪💜

[@karenmilligan5597]

Her channel is listed as Zinovia Mcquitty.

[@sallybowles5576]

Love you guys and I love that crazy Viking I am happy that he and Zenobia are together and I am happy that you are able to build that addition to your store

[@donnaj69]

So happy for Hans! Good work! The truck looks great!

[@roliepoliecolie2200]

Thank you very much for sharing Hans and Zinovia with us, just priceless. Made my day. 😎😎😎

[@sharonsomers5513]

Love the old truck. It is always good to see Hans and Ziniova. Love Hans laugh.

[@karenmilligan5597]

The old truck does look good there. I can't wait to see it when you have it fixed up like you want it. It will make a great photo opp spot for visitors and customers when it is complete. The entrance looks good that Hans and Zinovia did. Good job guys! 👍

[@AngelaGWillis]

That's what I was thinking!

[@teachermichelle9632]

Hans looks buffed. Zinovia is taking good care of him! She is lovely! Alex, how about making the truck a flower seller truck? Baskets of colourful flowers.

[@katmandudawn8417]

I used to tell people my husband never got to buy tools......because I bought them first. 😁. Zenobia is a lady after my own heart. I need to find an American Hans. It’s been so long I don’t remember how to meet people or date. The pandemic didn’t help. I barely know how to leave the house. So happy for the 2 of them.

[@arlenefrancis2791]

Chrome, you have a heart of gold. An inspiration to all mankind. Keep that positive attitude and beautiful smile alive. 👍👍

[@magickmoi1261]

That truck is very cool and looks so good at your store! I love seeing you and Hans and Zinovia together.

[@blardymunggas6884]

Hans did a great job. Maybe you could put up his link so anyone who is looking for a handyman can contact Hans

[@heatherferguson265]

Wonderful footage as always. If I were you, I would be tempted to hang flower boxes from the truck sides and maybe consider selling fall veggies like pumpkins from the truck. Can't wait to see the new addition. More great video with great people.

[@myfamilymatters]

That door entrance looks amazing. Great job and very fun video. I love listening to the banter when you all get together.

[@joeywd2885]

Oh wow Hans and his lovely lady did one beautiful job on that refinish. That looks like it was always there. Your right Alex it looks like a cute little cottage door entrance. TOO CUTE!!!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

I like it too :)

[@leonarddaniels6221]

@@CuriosityIncorporated What's not to like, it works very well with the rest of the store.

[@paulinealger7443]

Great backdoor entrance reno with existing materials. So cleavor and really good-looking. You've got the touch Zinovia!

[@powder9605]

Alex you are the gift that keeps on giving. What a person you are! Look what you did......walked in Hans' life saw a need got that done and in walks a lady for him because you bought the new shop. Look up Alex and give praise to God!!

Aren't they just the cutest couple, so happy they found each other.

[@carrols.hawkins7770]

Oh, Hans and Zenobia sre quite a pair. I love to hear the bantering and laughter among the 3 of you. ☺☺ Some bright owers in the truck bed will look great.

[@GrandmaGaye]

Nothing quite like a Hans laugh! Keep on keeping on

[@caseyflorida]

"It's a CRAZY VIKING!" LOL Hans is so great!

[@aryanahartwell3801]

I love watching you find solutions to whatever Life throws at you. Hans and Zinnovia are enjoyable to watch work together. Zinnovia’s artistic sense with the blue paint and brown trim added character....even if it will one day be covered. That may be another full year so why not enjoy the entrance now.

[@barbaraschmidt5062]

Nice job getting the truck moved, Getting porch finished for new build. Good job Hans and Zinovia. Trees are gone too.

[@lbacaterpillar]

I love it! The old truck, the picnic table & the new entry in the back. Nice work!

[@Kevakazii]

Hans is such an awesome human being, he's the type of guy you dream of living next door to. Thanks again Alex for the video.

[@vera_nika2]

Hand is such a wonderful person....His laugh always cheering me up... Thanks for the video Alex, wishing a lovely summer to you and your family

[@marilynmurray3519]

The truck looks great there! Hans and Zenovia sure made quick work of that old porch. It goes really well with the building. Good job!

[@manupsucka]

wow! I can't believe what a great job they did of the new entry. And in such a short time. Great job.

[@nanachick05]

I think what Hans & Zinovia did is really nice looking. Truck looks good too!

[@graceandglory1948]

Great job indeed! Love it!

oh man, you guys shredded that lawn! I guess grass grows back. That back entrance turned out so much cuter than I thought it would, great job!

[@davet.4945]

The new finish on that door look HANSome! :-)

[@ElsaInCa]

So exciting to see things moving along. When you did the camera shot from the old porch to the front, it really gave the perspective of how large the addition is going to be! The truck looks so cool sitting there near the picnic table!

[@NitrousDiecast]

Hans and Zinovia did a good job!

[@RaeC5280]

Hans does such great work!

[@lstidham11]

Flower planters in the bed of the truck! Will add greenery and look amazing.

Looking good so far, like the flowers on the table, makes it inviting.

I am glad I stumbled upon this channel. 💖

[@CoryMoll]

I like the new back door area too! Yay for recycling materials and using what's on hand! In a way it looks like it was there almost the entire time! Exclamation points!

[@verasileikis17]

As always, thank you so much for bringing us along with you. I’m hoping that the new building gets started soon and I know that’s going to be exciting to watch. You’ll be able to get the interior completed over the winter and this time next year will surely find you all finished and moved on to the next project.

[@bridgetmcclure-jones3952]

Hans and Zinovia are just the most adorable couple 😊

I love The laughter that comes from this video!

[@maps5622]

I'm in the middle of watching Hans video, and look what pops up. 😆 Look up the definition of "workhorse", Hans picture is there. 😲

[@dragonflyhill5748]

During Christmas, put a Christmas tree in the back of the truck

[@karenmilligan5597]

Decorating it for each season and or holiday is a good idea.

[@princessskate8016]

@@karenmilligan5597 I agree! :-)

[@princessskate8016]

Dragonfly Hill-I like this idea too! :-)

[@soniak2865]

maybe set up photo shoots of families, etc. in the truck at Christmas

[@amandakestenbaum9720]

Love that idea. Would look great with lights

[@vonny10096]

Its amazing to think how Hans was just a guy working on the trees at the Potters House...and now he is one of the gang with his own channel and lovely lady

Fantastic blue sky .

[@juliecalene8281]

I think you said it right when you said uphill as its definitely been an uphill battle for you and getting the addition built. Here's to smooth sailing from here forward.

[@SuperNmolnar]

Looking good. that old truck has some weight to it.. great video thanks for sharing!

[@frankiebanks7447]

So glad those two found each other they make such a cute couple

[@alikatyeg3295]

The entrance is lovely; Hans and Zinovia did a fantastic job. The truck looks nice on the patio. If it had had its engine for extra weight, you probably would have lost it in the ruts in the yard though lol. I'm on vacation this week so I should take a drive over to that side of the city and check out the store.

[@rosebudtania]

love what Hans & Zenovia done looks awesome xxxx
