When it's really hot, you have to be drinking water constantly. Also, if you ever notice that you stop sweating, STOP working immediately. Don't go into a cold atmosphere, just go sit in the shade and drink, drink, drink. Allow your body to gently cool down. Also, don't work in the hottest part of the day. Your viewers opinions of how fast you get something done doesn't matter. Those of us who love yall understand. Your health and happiness are what is most important. And if ANYONE doesn't like that, they can kick rocks. I admire the work you've done and love watching you guys.

I was just thinking about the percussive nature of some of the fireworks and what that would do to such a tiny dog- the kind where you can feel it when they go off. I can remember retreating to the house with my 11 month old to protect him from that and the noise.
@BonnieEllis-z3k6 ай бұрын
I agree with Nomadbeadz about working in the heat. As for the fireworks, I'd make sure I'm far away from the houses and people and light them off. That insures that the kids don't find them and accidentally get hurt. Your friend Bonnie from the Heartland 💕

Good morning Gary and Mel, take care in the heat. I live in the tropics here in Townsville , Queensland in the great southern land, and the heat and humidity knock me around. I drink water often, a water bottle nearby, wear a wicking neck cooler, wear baggy saggy shirt - about 2 sizes bigger so I don’t feel the clothes holding the heat in. Our humidity effectively neutralizes the cooling effect of our sweat, I think it must be the same for you. It’s that weather to be wary of as the heat sneaks up and you have headaches before you know it. On the high work, please get help so you both don’t overdo the lifting and stretching overreach. I agree with you Gary about getting it done, you want to get it done right and there are lots of things that need to be done without any visual progress, but every little thing is getting you closer. Take care stay healthy and safe and see you on your next.

Good Morning. Gary do not light the old fire works. Every state has different requirements.

Ok, here's my take on the old fireworks situation. As long as the person (Gary) is far away from the house and people and him being a very responsible person normally, I'd just fire them off as well. That way, nobody is close by to get hurt and he's far enough from any of your buildings and such it will be safe to " light them up!" So I say, Go for it Gary! Thats what the fire department will do anyway so why bother them. ❤
