[@kimbas11]

Can we get an arlo special edit video where we see every pro tip and amazing builds he did in the time he was working for you guys?

[@DiamondDustAndVerdigris]

​@@kimbas11 I second this suggestion! That might be a long time in coming, though -since Eric will have a ton of footage to go through, and even more editing. 😉

[@govolsfightvolsfight2908]

Just wondering if you guys cut off commenting for me? When I click the comment section, there's no spot for me to tap to leave one unless I click on a comment that's already been made. I hope this isn't the case and someone got butthurt from a past comment, after all, I just purchased a tool belt from you guy's!?

[@A2D_LLC]

Was wondering now with Arlo which would’ve really missed with is expertise and knowledge there’s an opportunity to work with the Perkins crew I’m willing to relocate from Miami up there not much really going on down here for small business if not working for unions.

[@Danielceola]

Hay is just grass that's been cut and baled. Straw is the leftover stalks from harvesting wheat/grain.

[@JakobStrasser]

You should do an episode where you interview Arlo about his life and how the industry has changed during his career! Hope he enjoys retirement!

[@ekinsarierik]

such a good idea

[@jeffreymarumorankeng3839]

Wonderful idea I also wish the was a cashapp started for him so we could get him a retirement gift

[@Peaches1393]

Best idea ever!

[@charelsmissinglink]

Agree

[@amyglass2319]

Totally agree good luck in your retirement Arlo 🎉🎉

[@janettekleinrath2836]

Hello to all the people around the world. My name is Jan and I am Arlos Wife. First to Eric WOW!! There are hardly words for how Arlo and I feel. The out pouring of love and appreciation is overwhelming. We will carry all these comments with us for the rest of our lives. To say Thank You doesn’t express how we feel. (amazed, Overwhelmed,Grateful, Blessed) To the Perkins Crew you have been fun and kind and we appreciate all of you. For all the donation well this has changed our future. We had plan to move into an unfinished house ( we were fine with that because as you carpenters know personal projects always get put on the back burner) Now we will finish our new house and than move in 👏👏. I could go on and on. Just know that we are more thankful than any words could say. ❤

[@azizkarim8106]

Good luck on your new house Jan, and please encourage Arlo to drop in on the Perkins Brothers' projects every now and then so we can get to see Arlo. He will be missed

[@janettekleinrath2836]

He won’t be able to stay away!!

[@ramellesmith1520]

@janettekleinrath2836- I can’t tell you how happy I am for you! Grateful for y’all’s friendship thru the years and both of you helping advise me on things for my build and more. Love you all and can’t wait to see your home when it’s all done 😘

[@maxiepax99]

In a week or so when the dust has settled, print the comment section so that Arlo can read a page a day of comments of how many people appreciate him :) good start with the morning coffee.

[@KaliumhexacyanoferratIII]

Hey Jan! Please tell Arlo that support does not end at US american borders. Happy retirement from Germany along with a tiny donation. Take care, stay as healthy as possible end enjoy your time!

[@ramellesmith1520]

So, like most everyone else I got teary about the title and teared up a few times while watching. I have some final thank yous: Arlo, thank you for speaking up to Erik, Jamie and the crew when it was queried what the next build after the duplex series should be. So grateful to you for stating my need. Grateful for our almost 5 decades of friendship. I know I’ll see you and Jan around but still want to say best to you on your retirement- so well deserved! And, Happy Birthday! @PerkinsBuilderBrothers and crew, thank you for my well crafted and beautiful home. Fiona, Kiki and I are certainly enjoying it. I missed being able to give you final hugs so hope to see you out and about! Your attention to detail, skills, care in building my home and care for me and your great humor are appreciated more than I can ever express. You all are truly THE best! To the PBB subscribers, thanks for being fans of their channel and for following along on the Modern Home Build series. To all of you who cheered me on along the way and have wished me well in my beautiful home and next chapter of my life my deep, heartfelt thanks for that. Thanks also to the PBB partners who helped make my home so much more than I ever imagined! I am grateful I was invited to be a part of build of my home, that I had the opportunity to share the process and that I had the best builders and their crew build my dream home! Heart full homeowner here ❤️💕💜

It would be fun to have episodes following one of the crew too. Not just the 5 minute bit that Jaime got, but a whole episode. Too late for Arlo though, which is a shame.

Seeing the amount of people donating to the surprise go fund me brings me to tears. Happy retirement Arlo. My little family wishes you the best. My husband found you all a few years ago and gained home building knowledge from you all while also watching the essential craftsman. We're now living in our home we built together. Started in 2020 and built ourselves with money out of pocket. We moved in to our 3 bedroom/2 bath home in October. It's still not completely done but once it is we're debt free with our home. Thank you to all of you 🫶🏻

[@freddykoopmans6985]

hope you are not try to revere to Arlo, you will do no justice to the knowledge he did bring in to so many jobs.

[@prapa5521]

[@alucide]

Hay is dried grass; food. Straw is dried stalks of cereal plants; byproduct.

[@samdunn1807]

Generally straw has been run through a threasher(combine) which separates the grain from the straw. Oates, wheat, barley, rye, and other small grains. Feed grains after the grain has been separated is called stalks or stover. Hay is things like alfalfa where everything is baled or stacked. Small grains when it is cut down then baled and stacked before the grain has matured is all called hay. That is the terms we use here in Kansas.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Me too bud

[@YoutubeTM432]

straw is the stuff that's left over after a grain crop has been harvested, while hay is grass that is cut before the grass goes to seed. Typically hay will be normal cultivars of grass with multiple species mixed in, grown specifically as food for livestock. Straw will typically be from intensive grain farming so it will generally be just one species. Straw also has less nutritional value because the plant put all the energy into the seed, while hay will still have some measure of sugar and nutrients.
