[@suemasongreen8979]

Your relationship with your dad is beautiful . I was a dads girl and he taught me diy, took me fishing and we watched footy matches together at the local ground , not to mention stuff about cars , which has saved me loads of money over the years . He's not with us now , : ( and i really miss him not being here to guide me through the jobs i'm not sure of . Make the most of being with your dad , it's the best time of your life, with loads of happy memories. x

Well said Sue and spot on👍🏻🐾🧡

[@kittygreenleaf427]

I still have one of those meat grinders/mincers that my parents had from 40 years ago. LOL Love your dad!!

[@craftilyrecycled]

I always enjoy watching you and Tim dig in old dumps. This one, weirdly, brought back fond memories of me exploring old sheds, lean tos, and fire pits at both my grandparents, and great grandparents houses back in the early 80s, when I was a tiny treasure hunter aged under 10. 😂 Though less snakes and spiders at your dump dig. Clearly an Aussie thing.😂 And I LOVED the upcycle in this video. Utterly brilliant idea, well thought out, and perfectly executed. As someone who also tries to use and re-use absolutely everything in my art and everyday life, it's always awesome seeing I'm not alone in my passion for zero waste creativity. ❤

[@Sifinds]

Well said! I’d love to see your work! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@craftilyrecycled]

@@Sifinds Thanks, my profile pic is some of my work. 😊 It's made from gem stone beads from 2nd hand jewellery (some broken) that I buy from charity op shops. This piece was bought by a lovely lady over in Florida, USA. And, if you are curious and not just being polite 🤣 I have a very basic video on what I do on my channel, and can be found on instagram with same name.

[@sarahhunnicutt3769]

Hi Si! I know that this is an older video but I just came across it now. Believe it or not I always thought that Tim was your dad! Thanks for introducing us to your family and more of your history today. I really loved seeing that beautiful little bird with its bright colors, especially against the green branches. Thank you for sharing that, as well as the lovely woodpecker sounds.

[@elizarock655]

Corona was the fizzy pop you could get delivered by the pop man wasn’t it? So cool watching the finds get older as he dug down. Clever display! Thanks Si, another fab video.

[@silevee]

Yes, the pop man came round weekly and we had pop with our Sunday lunch - Corona came in various flavours: lemonade, limeade, cherryade, cream soda - mind you, that was over 60 years ago!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Eliza! Very interesting 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@suemasongreen8979]

Yep , as kids , we would go down our road asking the locals if we could have the empties , and then take them back to the local shop and get the thruppence refund on the bottle . lol you could get loads of sweets for thruppence in those days.

I love seeing your Dad working with you. I lost my Dad 18 years ago today. He was my fishing buddy and had me helping make improvements to my parents home even after I was married and had 3 kids. I have a brother but was never interested helping like I was. Your Dad appears to be a wonderful man. ❤️🇺🇸

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Pretty sure Findlater is pronounced Finndlatter, sadly! Also, the wee robin was hoping for you to throw it worms you found while digging. If you give them some, they'll stick around and come really close to you, they're gallus wee birds :) Big love from Scotland, as always. Jen. Edit: Just finished the video, love that upcycle, your ability to be able to repurpose the weirdest things is making me very envious!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Jonny. I believe the Robin is Englands nation bird. They are super friendly and cute, unlike many English 😂

Great Vid Thanks.Just wanted to let you know I have a cat named Maggie Pie and she is the Joy of my life So when i see how much you love your animals i wanted you to be aware of boards with nails or screw .Do NOT leave them sticking Upwards Ever. They can step on them and hurt for weeks ,their little paws I know because i am a carpenter and when i bring used lumber home I place all boards nails DOWN until it gets used.I'm sure you already know this but i thought i would mention this as i love all animals as well Jim..M from ONT.

I am sitting here at my table watching this video my thoughts 💭 are of how you and your dad we’re enjoying building this MudCave . You are both so sweet toward each other as you put a bandaid on your dad’s thumb 👍🏻. What a beautiful scene that took my breath away! After he had finished you hugged him for all he helped he gave! Si I was very touched with you and your dad please cherish these moments with him. My dad passed away and I miss him so much. I have only a few great memories with him that will stay with me forever. You did a fantastic work on the gas can, I wasn’t sure what you would do to up cycle this rusty, torn and tattered thing! I am in awe of your skills. What a wonderful mindset you have with all of your creations! Steve is a great friend to help you with the roof it’s hard work, but he sure did it. Kudos to all hands on deck! Blessings to all of you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
