Great progress. Heather is indispensable. I wish I had a saw person in all of my projects through the years. She really is quite a lady!

Cecil, you owe Heather a night out of her choice. Under circumstances that could have caused issues with any couple trying to do something together, Heather said and I quote; " I love you for who you are " and this told me so much about who she is, and your relationship together. She is a very special person, and what a soul mate you have in your life. Appreciate it, as others have relationships that are far from your and Heather's. I knew Heather was special, but I didn't realize just how much until I saw the opening of this video. What you both accomplish together, year after year, under some of mother natures most difficult and extreme conditions, is truly amazing and you both must have both a clear vision for your future, and the patients of Jobe, to stay on track to achieve that vision together. My very best to you both, and submitted with great respect.... Joe

Hi Heather & Cecil. It was a good recovery from your problem. But as you said, the ground frost was your enemy in the end. But now you've got that sorted. Looking forward to the next episode. Take care. :-))

@@SkinnersOffGrid Yes Cecil your right about the cement. I did it the old timer's way.. Dig the hole put a large flat rock at the bottom and back fill with coarse gravel.. Stops the frost heave.. Not criticizing just some oldtimer's knowledge..

I think that you are getting overly concerned about your measurements.. I mean the barn is what 40 by 60 and you are concerned about a 1/4 inch.. Trust me where you live that bldge is going to move up and down every year for as long as it stands.. Relax a bit..
