Just a suggestion for the door, if it was my problem, I would sacrifice a sheet of plywood to put it in the dry for the next month or until the right door arrives! You guys have done a great job with everything I have watched from the start consider me a loyal silent viewer great job guys ❤️

[@katherinez9654]

I would worry about snakes hiding in that tarp

[@stevebolton2547]

Just an idea , why don't you guys grow fruit trees around the perimeter of the fence , it would be great for the kids to grow up watching trees mature and fruit each season, nothing beats free food either. Watching your weekly episodes with envy .

[@carolbessent6239]

I like the color of the door. It looks good against the color of the building

[@phillully4472]

That color on the door is perfect, and the contrast is just enough to make it pop some, less the dark trim. Awesome job picking that color

[@bradhelfrich6602]

Love you guys, but that entry door is backwards the hinges always sit on the inside, and door is supposed to swing in, with the hinges on the outside anyone can pop out the pins and get into the home. Just a suggestion, most entry doors are LH swing but depends on your situation and preference.

[@pjk1714]

I like the door colour. You probably will more once their is an overhang. Are you moving before you continue framing and wiring? Love watching your daughter zoom down the hill. Goodness they grow up so fast... Consider some burlap next year to protect roots from freezing and limbs..little mulch with newspaper goes along way. Thanks for sharing🌼

[@corinnecreswick1280]

What I have seen in other builds of containers, putting a black slider in the back where the container doors open. When you aren’t on the property, the container doors are closed and locked, but other wise leave them open and you can open the slider having a screen for fresh air. Black doors with windows going across from top to bottom is very modern and beautiful.

[@wendyrumbel4354]

[@bethhardin8795]

Someone needs to build a couple of raised garden beds, about 40" apart and get a cattle panel that will arch between the raised beds. Plant a couple of loofah plants on each side. You'll have a green arch, a place where the kids can enjoy shade and the luffas can grow and hang down from. Actually, two longer beds and two panels would be even better. You can do this with cucumbers and pole beans, too. It's not hard nor time consuming. It's time to plant!.

[@loissaedder2214]

Or along a fence that's already there.

Great idea. "Let's get diggin"😂

[@barbclements9006]

Just be careful, because snakes can still get up there also.

[@bethhardin8795]

@@loissaedder2214 from past experience with edible gourds, they need lots of room to grow. A short fence isn't going to work as well as something tall. The vines can get 20' long. Letting the gourds hang from above are easier to manage and see.

It's looking so amazing! Our local school's sixth grade project one year was growing loofah plants. The students planted and maintained them. Then once harvested they marketed, advertised, packaged and sold them in the community as a fund raiser. It was a great learning experience on so many levels. 😊

About the loofah. Spencer must remember that loofah line from Caddyshack. That put a lot of us off loofahs.

I love watching your videos each week. You're just a lovely family, and it often makes me think about how much work it takes (for eg: to swap the hardware around after making a mistake). Spencer ..... you make it look so easy, but I know it isn't. There must be a few swear words from time to time, when things go awry (like when they sent you the wrong sized door). But you are both so gracious about it all, and seem like such a beautiful team. Thank you for your videos. They are always enjoyable.

[@bethhardin8795]

These are great, but they are harvested after they mature and need to be allowed to dry out for weeks before the skin and dried seeds can be removed, then be ready for use.

[@doloresrozman5612]

If not mistaking its a gourd,we planted snake gourds. Type of thing you can try different ones,snake,birdhouse ,1 looks like a bowl. KZbin , or google. LOL.

[@misallisonwonderland]

My grandfather grew loofas 40 years ago and we used them for everything from dish scrubbing to body scrubbing and cleaning! They are a fantastic idea!!

[@dennisfahlstrom2515]

The only time I recall seeing a loofa was in Caddy Shack when Ted Knights wife mistakenly asked the kid to come into the shower and loofa her back. Wait! That was over 40 years ago…😂

[@ikaruseijin01]

If you harvest them young you can eat loofa gourds. Also there's "Chinese okra" which is't okra at all but a relative of loofah gourd and it grows long and thin like a cucumber so the resultant "loofah" would be good for kitchen scrubbers. As long as the gourds of either variety are harvested young they are edible. To get the sponges you let them grow to maturity and let them dry on the vine.

[@kathyh7114]

I had some odd tropopical plants next to my foundation the hummingbirds loved. I cut a bunch out. The unusually cold frosted weather took out the rest. I think a few sprouts may come up. Experimental gardening is fun.

[@monical4632]

I grow loofahs and if you ever did your own you will be hooked! Each plant from seed takes about 6-8 months of maturity and when they are dead looking and crackly is when you peel them and empty the 300+ seeds out then wash in a water bleach mix to remove the slimy or dirty coating to expose the most beautiful loofah ! You can use these to wash the pollen filled poles from container bldg. 😂 or dishes or even your body in showers. They last a very long time. Sell the seeds or loofahs or give away. Donate to homeless shelters, old folks homes, or to food banks for them to give. It takes almost the whole year to see your results but so much better for the environment. The old loofahs can also be used as fire starters. The plant will die in winter and you clean it off the trellises so much needed sunlight can hit the bldg and warm by radiant heat. Please give this plant a try.
