OMG! Thank you so much for the WWGOA membership discount 😊 Im so psyched to explore what they offer. I've dabbled so much throughout the years. God bless you all and keep up the amazing work!

[@lynnburdick1115]

What's impressive is that your dad still has all his fingers. Accidents do happen and they happen quick. He definitely takes safety seriously.

[@SJC49]

That is some impressive workshop. You look like a kid in a candy factory!😍🇨🇦

[@colleenkeener9412]

I’m jealous Ashley!

[@deedawson6074]

My son made these pushers for passing his wood through the band saw. I always feel really calm watching him use them. Watching you in fast motion was a bit nerve racking lol. My grandfather lost the tip of his index finger on one of those and he was a professional cabinet maker. Take care my darling girl. Glad you’re having some time out with your dad, looks like the best medicine. 🇳🇿

[@col2560]

🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

[@maryhart637]

I love Ashley’s creativity and that her Dad has the perfect space for her to play in ❤ Jonathan and the kids did a great job tidying up the build site 🙌👍

[@robinmillerkroening3493]

My dad was a car dealer so my sister and I lived above the garage so we had access to to tools and used cars what a blast then when we moved from above the garage dad had tools in the garage at our house it was great! I built a lot of stuff for my Land Cruisers, stereo system, rag top, winch, cb station and etc!

[@MC-qb1jg]

Quality time with your Dad to create something very special for your children.

[@drddianesbryant]

Ashley, I LOVE the little boxes! At 72 yo, each day seems to be filled with more memories and a bit fewer memory-making moments. The smallest of tangibles can jog the biggest and greatest memories. It’s fascinating to see how the ordinary, and insignificant, experiences of the past fit together to form the unique, beautiful mosaic that we are. Memories are such an important part of our present, and shape our future. I love y’all!!

[@wandacraig8286]

But Ashley, you are being creative! I know you have so many fun ideas for the future, but I look at your property and all the creative things you all have done and am just in awe! Everything about this video was great, but it took me back to my family in the past. Watching Jonathan and the kids working in the yard and one shot was him and your daughter walking away from the camera and they both had the exact same stride. It just reminded me of one time my husband, his son, and a grandson walking across a desert lot that we used to live on and they all had the exact same stride all three of them... Everyone working together to clean up and organize was great! And thank you Jonathan for showing us how to clean up a mini split. Looked like a bigger job than I would want to take on, but you were up to the task! Your boxes came out really cute Ashley. Such treasures!!!! And you got to spend time at your childhood home with family! ❤

[@sandigray6247]

The LOOO-VER!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 The kitty’s face in the cinder block, Ashley’s happy face holding the box in her Dad’s garage, Jonathan’s face as he threw rocks in the wheelbarrow and the kids faces looking at their little boxes . . . So many happy faces! Love you guys

[@fronniebealer7808]

There is one dead pear tree here on my home. The pears grew on an irrigation ditch that was here when my dad was a boy. He was born in 1925. That pear tree would make beautiful little boxes with great memories behind them. I really enjoyed this video.

[@carrieturner414]

ASHLEY, You are one ambitious woman and you want to do it all your self. With the help of your FAMILY. Glad Dad had a very large work shop. For you to practice for your future furniture. I can't wait to see how this will turn out. Your a smart, and talented woman that wants what she has her mind on. ❤. You all have come along way and have a bit more to go. Now that Jonathan and children had straighten out the yard and that's one less thing to worry about. The storage shed looks great 👍 considering they spent all day straightening it out for easy access to anything. Can't wait to see this Homestead 😍 🎉. Why can't you let the sheep, animals run free to eat the high grass then just trim around the trees. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉waiting for the next video.. bless you all😎🧡

[@RandomGreymane]

I love crafts! Not unsurprisingly you look very comfortable in that wood shop Asley! On the homestead it looks like you need a separate storage place. Maybe a second container so you can make a dedicated workshop? Finally - purple porta-potty? Something wrong with the bathroom?

[@StoneKathryn]

Wow, flying to your dad's workshop! I like the tiny boxes you're learning to make. Good luck! Nice work done on the workshop and reorganizing it. Running to the dump and having to be mindful of the "wash" on the way there! The hardware cloth can finally be tucked away from the building area. Wow, even moving the bricks and rocks/concrete pieces away from the build and putting them somewhere in storage and organized. I like the cute little boxes! Thanks for this video Longnecker family!

[@sth.777]

Imagine the possibilities for creativity once your energies have finished the house! The boxes are a small taste of what's to come! Woohoo!

[@col2560]

Like in 5 yrs ?

[@LB-gr7gu]

Ashley those little gifts of Love I'm sure will be keepers and passed down to generations ❤ .. Looks good on the homestead.. great cleaning 🎉

[@davec9244]

The back story of the tree priceless. Cheerish the memories thank you

[@LizSwinney]

Your mini split is way more complicated than mine. Mine is an LG. Its easy peasy to clean. My service guy told me to clean the filters, and vacuum the tube (outside) once a month. Plus he showed me to use canned air gently to clean coils. Works great. No more leaking inside.

[@TinyShinyHome]

They're all pretty much the same. Those are great preventative measures, but eventually you'll have to clean out the drip tray, and probably replace the inside fan blower.

[@patrickrussell1888]

Almost sounds like a swamp cooler!

[@elizabeththomas8746]

Ashley your so cute. Your a Queen in my book.❤ Jon, doing the projects for your lovely wife makes you à 👑. Kids, your honorable soldiers with great talents and such warm hearts. Hats off to your parents.

[@bradcouch6898]

Tiny Shiny Home and Gridlessness are the best channels on youtube.

[@AdobeDregsCoffee]

Hey Ashley, even though I was raised in WV, I was born in Muncie, Indiana! Great video, glad you got to spend time with your folks!

[@pamim7902]

Super cool so creative. Ashley I hope you got some well deserved rest❤❤❤

[@alysiachristensen5475]

Wow!!! Those boxes are awesome and what better place to get to go than to your childhood home and to see your parents!!! So nice!!!

[@TheHavasu_77]

I’m sooooooo jealous of your dad’s workshop Ashley!! 😍❤️ Also, Jonathan was a good husband while you were gone. It’s really not the same without you and him bouncing off each other’s comments though, and we could tell he really missed you. You’re not allowed to split up anymore!! 😩😂😘❤️

[@joannrabideau1657]

Ashley you we’re definitely in your happy space!! And Jonathan you and the kids did a great job cleaning up the work zone. Looks great guys👍🏻

[@Murphycats]

I love that you were able to preserve the memories of your childhood home with those lovely boxes. What a wonderful way to remember! Watching the kids helping their Dad reminded me again how strong and able your kids are! kA wonderful video!

[@3Goddesses333]

Ashley - I love love the little boxes and the sentiment and your creative flare in general. Star well and blessed TSH family.♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@cathybrewer8958]

Ain't nothing like getting to go back home. So glad you did.

[@ErictheReed]

I love that idea! Now I wish I had a box from the juniper tree that I built treehouses in when I was a kid 😢

[@patrickrussell1888]

Juniper makes a great jewelry box!😊

[@lymmerik]

Fun projects, great memories. Those little boxes are so cute!

[@veronicabass5333]

Super adorable boxes. Adorable family too. It's the simple pleasures that mean the most in life. 😊

[@denisekeeth4595]

Looks like a great salt box Ashley. What a fantastic workshop your Dad has.

[@kimcampbell4839]

They are lovely and so special.

[@1drfl2nt]

Special personalized gifts are always the best. It is a perfect box for a ring or a treasure. d

[@craigsymington5401]

Work shop, work shop, build a shop! Two 40 foot shipping contaiers with a roof span. So easy,and you can store everything dry and safe, have place for woodworking, metalwork, plumbing and even nerdy electrical and electronics. Win, win, winnnn. Insulation and flooring optional😎

[@montyspellman2560]

Hi Ashley, your making a Bandsaw box. very kool. I have made them from the shape of a Yin and yang and motor cycle the possibilities are endless. it takes practice

[@sharynbaccei1720]

Cute boxes. Ashley is so talented! ❤❤❤❤

[@Mary-cb5jx]

Looking good out there 👍 Looking forward to seeing the next phase of the building 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Have a great day 🌞

[@TinaAbney-l2m]

You all are amazing 💕💕💕 Family Together precious moments to always remember 🥰

[@clolourofbue]

Knitting and woodwork are the only crafts I never quite mastered, very well done, love those boxes. And well done on the tidying up it looked like hard work.

[@stargirlofantares9053]

This was so cool! I love wood, not the actual working of it now, because I live in a very tiny house on a very tiny piece of land and can’t afford a tool, let alone a shop. My brother is a contractor & builds houses & remodels. My dad worked for a lumberyard for 25 years. The love of wood and building is strong in my family. I love what you created! I’m in awe of your creative talent & envious of your dad’s shop! Soooo envious!!! What I could do in there!!! You made beautiful useful memories from your childhood home to pass to your children! You’re such an amazing woman & the best mom (besides my mom & stepmom). Jonathan, I don’t think condensates is a word. I think it’s condenses, but I could totally be wrong! It happens! Lol 😂 This was a really fun video! So much got done. Back to the house, now that everything is clean & tidy & organized! So much love to you all from Oregon. ♥️ Jess

[@faithrada]

That "garage" clean up was INSPERATIONAL. You guys are makers of magic! You'll get there.. meanwhile .. One day at a time.

[@joannhernesmaa4904]

When you finish your home and your kids are busy elsewhere I could see you with your Wood Working Shop to home in your creative projects. A gift built for great Winen/Mom. ❤❤❤❤

[@paulvanhouts3365]

Hey ash, I have workshop envy, your dads got a great set up. Jon, that black grunge is mould the Bain of air conditioners. We have ours professionally cleaned yearly, as we live in the tropics we may get it done sooner with an early wet season heading our way, North Queensland Oz.

[@lisaperry9432]

Cute. I love crafts and now I am retired and live alone my whole seems to have been taken over with lots of different ones lol. ❤❤

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

Hooray yet another great video. 🥰

[@kimberlyllamas5804]

It's just so cute to watch you and Ada walk side-by-side she walks exactly like you LOL

[@samuelgilbert9734]

12:24 Instead of cutting through the side to make the cut to empty out the middle, you could drill a hole and unclip the saw blade and re-clip it once it's in the hole previously drilled.

[@goertz8939]

Our road gets so bad in the spring that everyone that visits us at that time comments on it. It’s bad in the spring because the freezing and thawing in the he winter breaks up the surface of the road then the thawing ice water gets in the crack’s. This water freezes again making the holes in the road gradually bigger and bigger. No one speeds down are road at this time but you may lose small animals or little children down them if your walking down the road. Anything more than a crawl while going over them is likely to cause damage and you do have to pick your way through multiple craters in the road so you can’t just avoid them.

[@patrickrussell1888]

Built in traffic control! 😊

[@crazycloud2]

The guy that was teaching me how to use a band-saw cut off his thumb right in front of me. It took me years to be in the same room without breaking into a cold sweat. Now I have 2 of my own and love using them. My mini split did that this weekend too. Pink slimy stuff clogging.

[@josh-ox3kb]

It's got to be awesome to work out dads shop. Now I know why and how some of us succeed. Thanks dad thanks mom for putting up with dad

[@baskervillebee6097]

Thank you for making the trinket boxes. One day they will be extremely priceless.

[@veeemit9719]

That was a fun outing😊

[@loispolley6339]

Hi from OUR home state. I forgot you were from here till I saw the airport! The boxs are so cute. I am going to steal your idea. We have a special tree on our farm.

[@Skattie]

So glad you tidying up , feels better to do this

[@bcase5328]

Every so often you just need to go through and make sure every item is in its' place. That is life.

[@stephenkennedy7931]

Damn does your dad want to adopt a 73 year old son? just love his work shop..God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@MychannelDL]

Hey Ashley, you have a 40 acres “garage “ where your creativity goes wild😂

[@colly1952]

That hardware cloth will likely be useful to protect your birds and any small livestock you might get in the future from small predators, such as rats and snakes.

[@DanSmith-v4l]

Great video.

[@jomomma1512]

I am so sorry y’all, I had to pause the video to jump on the woodworking deal that our beautiful Ashley gave us! I mean, like OMG!!! Thank You Tiny shiny home!!! We are all needing a financial break, And You all come through!!! Mic drop….. Awkwardly picks mic up in on order to let ppl know that they NEED this offer in their lives, before I stumble off to find some nachos

[@1ghostchick]

Spray bleach or vinegar on coils after cleaning filter. Hope it helps.Also, suck outside tube with a shop vac.

[@Marleen.Remeysen]

That will be the next (sidestep) project: a big well-organised and high-functional workingspace! And indeed, your 'messy' toolshed looks like my reorganised and cleaned barn 😄. Good preparation vibes on TSH and very nice little hometree- boxes! 👍 Love it! Are you planning soon a daily video- month?

[@akhagee4707]

Definitely keep the vlogs going on the next trip & some random "day-in-the-life" vlogs in between trips. I love the dates you've added at the beginnings of the vlogs & wish that info was in the pinned posts on the main channel.

[@rockingredpoppy9119]

Okay, it has become very clear to me quickly, that a mini split should have simple access to the drip tray for daily maintenance so you don't have to do major surgery to remove it. Lost me after the first two steps. 😄

[@TinyShinyHome]

You only get to it probably once or twice a year. It's just a few screws :)

[@SabineSontheim]

The bits of concrete can go in the wholes on the road.. thats what the farmers did in the little town i grew up.

[@lsimmons1962]

You are so creative (so is your entire family)!! I love those little boxes!! Made with so much love! ❤️🥰

[@solera2008]

I really like the safe in the back. I wonder what he has inside. 😏🙂

[@suzanneethier1450]

hi ashley your so emazing thank you end god bless

[@Enfrance2003]

Ashley, how does your Dad keep it all so clean? I’ve been doing some wood work outside and have a garden full of sawdust! 😮.

[@TheArtisanbard]

Cool boxes Ashley!

[@LeonMurphey]

Good idea to use the evaporator cleaner about every 3 months😊

[@wadeprior5203]

Good morning how are you doing today hope everybody's doing okay I hope the kids had a good day yesterday off and back to school all right have a good day

[@RVBadlands2015]

How often do you clean/ maintenance on the mini splits. Can they fill the crater with gravel. The boxes can be used to put rings, jewelry or secret keys.

[@rosferguson3979]

Oh yeh, holes in road surfaces. A very familiar phenomenon! There's this one spot in particular...called The Scottish Borders UK. They ain't hard to find as they are everywhere! 😂

[@lisaperry9432]

[@billelsener6192]

Who says a woman’s work is never done. It looked like Dad’s work is never done. Great job for all. Ashley, you didn’t make anything for Dad? Oh ya, your Dad’s gift. Blessings to y’all.

This is Ashley. Ashley forgot her safety glasses. Don’t be an Ashley. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@greenbankreptiles]

Sweet herb boxes!😅

[@jeanhecker4533]

Another interesting, off the beaten track, video. Do you have a “public works dept” in you county? Could you ask them to put a piece of sheet steel over that “axel breaking” culvert ? 😊

[@TinyShinyHome]

They re-graded in a couple of days, but no nothing you put on there is going to stay. When the water flows during monsoon there is very little you can do stop it.

[@akhagee4707]

​@@TinyShinyHome sounds like that spot needs a drainage culvert.

[@BonnieHaley]

Hello 👋 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@eddieandjulieklysz458]

You may need to fill the road crack with rocks it may help.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Nope, if you're not familiar with the power of a wash in the desert you just let it do it's thing and then fix it afterwards. Anything you put in it will get carried away.

[@patrickrussell1888]

My dad claimed us kids lost all of his tools. He was probably right! 😊

[@BarbBucko]

Air cleaner or uv light will clean your room air before the air conditioner does it's work

[@TinyShinyHome]

It's just all the dust. We live in the desert :)

[@tammythompson3562]

❤😎🥰EXCELLENT

[@col2560]

I would have used the lathe and turned the centers out of those boxes rather than the way you did them using the bandsaw

[@TinyShinyHome]

you're welcome to make them however you want :)

[@susiereed3612]

Hey, we have the same road issues when it rains. We are on 10 acres in Northern Arizona. We are responsible for our roads so a bunch of us (neighbors) get together and scrape and fill holes, but your issue sounds like it needs a culvert. Can you add one, or is it on someone else's property?

[@probablynot1368]

We have a similar, but much smaller issue, in my neighborhood in Tucson. A nearby neighbor (a very nice elderly man) has a very large divot in his driveway, just as it meets the street. His driveway is mostly dirt, with a smattering of gravel that has slowly disappeared into the dirt. Every time it rains, the divot fills with water, which then washes mud and silt onto the street, and runs downhill to our property. We end up with a slick of mud in the street and into our driveway. Everything (silt, sand, gravel) washes towards us. Since we have a large property, we scoured the land for various sizes of rocks, filling the base of his divot with the larger rocks, and gradually filling it with smaller angle-edged stones to lock everything in place. YES! It worked! He no longer has to deal with bottoming out in the divot, has a smooth, level area, and this is the first monsoon that we’ve been relieved of the sludgy silt flowing into our driveway! Sometimes, all it takes is helping a neighbor out to solve everyone’s problems.

[@TinyShinyHome]

This is a county maintained road.
