You don't shake it because the product will trap bubbles in the can that will not pop on their own. I made that mistake once!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Good to know!

[@jlucy401]

Correct

[@reedera4]

Ladly is so stinking adorable 😍. Definitely want to see progress on the truck(s)!!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Coming up!🛻

[@PurplePetunias71]

Would love to see Jim's process on the truck. I bet it turns out great.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you!

[@garybensel6680]

If you shake the poly you will add bubbles to it and therefore to the finished product.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Good to know!

[@FrugalBuilding]

Shaking causes tiny air bubbles to become entrained in the PU and will leave the finish with a milky looking finish. It is best to stir it with a paint stirrer for best results. Your lamps came out great. Your little knee looks like a little bunny rabbit.🙂

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thanks for the tip Mr. Jim!

[@laruedouglas7972]

I love how you can just get things from your land and incorporate into something useful 🥰.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Me too!!

[@captrebel7677]

Now about that truck....with winter coming on, you can make that truck one of those chilly, wet winter projects that get done in the barn over time. So, I figure in just 142 winters, that truck should be just about perfect. Thanks for another great show with zero "kneed" for revision.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

That seems like a valid timeline 😂

[@rcg3496]

Let’s see the truck stuff 😂😂😂

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Coming up!🛻

[@Bob_Adkins]

There's nothing wrong with the propane tank conversion. The tank is thicker and stronger than air tanks that size. You'll probably put 120 PSI in it, but it would probably hold 500 PSI. Remember all you safety rangers out there, if everything is perfectly safe, nothing gets done. If it's 99% safe, you get half of everything done. If it's 97.5% safe, you get everything done!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

😁😁

[@GeneMatheney]

By the way, if you put your moss in the freezer for a bit, you'll kill off any creepy crawlies hiding in there.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Great minds think alike!!

[@kennethkeating799]

Our swamplands have so much to offer from groceries to ............ furniture !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@robertwalker9625]

A big 10-4 on showing the progress of the Frankenstein Chevy y'all.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Will do Robert!

[@gregorysomavia3880]

Absolutely i would love to see how the truck comes along. Please show as you build it.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Coming up!🛻

[@pinkywilliams8063]

I would love seeing a new truck being born for sure!!!! Need to finish the garage area and we are in business of making a fine truck from two trucks...

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Awesome! And definitely need that shop done!

[@briantruenow9684]

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thanks for watching!

[@angierlevel2187]

Definite same!

[@tammaragill9347]

I'd LOVE to see the 2 a.m. truck building process. Y'all are busier than a 1 arm paper hanger 😂

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Coming up!🛻 Hahah, no sleep for the wicked🤪

[@stewartdaniels2874]

I broiled my cypress knee in a big crawfish pot to remove the bark then varnished it then wood burn crawfish on it

[@roadtripslifeandredox]

Oh my I can follow the trucks saga! Lol. Love the family memories made.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Coming up!🛻

[@charlireed9555]

Oh my word, lol... "I love the moss hair on all three of you." ~God Bless from North Fort Myers, FL

[@keithboyce1542]

That young lady is gonna be a heartbreaker, so watch out Poppa your going to have your work cut out 😂😂❤️❤️

[@CajunCountryLivin]

😅😅😅

[@pking5429]

My daddy made lamps out of these, but he removed the bark first. This brings back sweet memories ❤️

[@CajunCountryLivin]

😊😊

[@GeneMatheney]

I love restoration videos so please do make a video or three on this. Whatever you have time for.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Coming up!🛻

[@randyb-rl7cc]

I am an old car and truck fan! That will be Great Content Too! Country Living means Not Going and Buying New Trucks!!!!!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Coming up!🛻 that’s a fact!!💪

[@diggerdog9096]

My brother and I would buy 2 or 3 wrecks and end up with some nice rides. I am a shade tree mechanic, and he was a body man, plenty of tools and good times. He is gone now but I still have some pleasant memories and a 1998 Doge 2500 diesel that just keeps going strong.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

I’ll bet y’all made some really cool projects together!

[@diggerdog9096]

Friday nights were friends over many times with wife's or girlfriends, lots of BS , some wrench turning, and a bit of adult beverage. Those were the days.

[@juneaufabrellos]

Yes, let’s see some truck work. It’s nice seeing a mix of stuff from everyday life

[@stacy6014]

You can put your propane tank in a milk crate. They slide right into them and keep them from rolling around. Joe

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Good idea!! Thank you!

[@rastewar1]

I definitely want to see the process of the truck transformation.

[@annafraley5388]

YES, Show Any and All of the work you do on the Truck 🛻 in with Everything else as you do it..!!! 😎👍👏🥳

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Will do Anna!

[@MelissaMalzahn]

I had a 1983, Chevy pu 305 engine had under 100,000 miles. I sold it before moving to Arizona it was in mint condition I wish I had it now. My 2018 bighorn ram is having head gasket issues w 122,978 miles on it. Very cool wood decoration. ❤❤

[@CajunCountryLivin]

I bet it was super nice truck Melissa!

[@randybegley1964]

When we lived in Savannah, GA. my wife grabbed a bunch of Spanish Moss to decorate around the house with. She found out later that the gnats breed in there. We had bugs all over the house!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Oh no!!!

[@sharagaard6778]

Yess! My mom was a floral designer back in the day and would bake her moss in the oven for a bit to kill the bugs.

[@Jman531]

If you can put that Chevy back in original condition, that truck would be worth some money. I loved that body style. Good luck in getting it back up and running!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Coming up!🛻

[@pinkmosquito22]

I'm excited for you, Jim! I looked for a specific truck for years and when I finally found it, I bought it the next day! Unfortunately, I'm in NY (vehicles don't last long here at all) so my baby has been laid to rest (in our own personal junk yard lol). She's a red, '95, single cab, Z71, stepside with a 5.7L. I loved her soooo much! 💔😭

[@ld5714]

Hi Lydia and Jim. Loved this vid!! I knew it was going to be good when Ladly appeared in the opening scenes. What a sweetie that little cutie pie is. It was nice seeing her so much in this one. Lydia you may have revealed a new opportunity for yourself, very impressive as you were crusing the runway with your Enernova over the shoulder. 😉 I loved you all gather the moss, especially Ladly's reaction when placed on her head. I laughed out loud seeing Jim with his new under the cap style. River Bottom Outdoor Furniture....Y'all are a real hoot. Do not shake to minimize the chance of bubbles in the solution. I love the trucks - my son and I are car guys and we've totally rebuilt and restored 3 now that were in far worse shape than the truck. Parts you can't source locally from wrecking yards LMC Truck Parts will have. You can build and entire truck right out of their catalogue. That project will be a lot of fun for you guys and I wouldn't mind at all seeing occasiounal updates on the progress. Y'all have a great week ahead. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Always a pleasure reading your thoughtful comments Mr. Larry!

[@ArthurValencia9438]

Your homemade lamps: NICE! I love them! Art in Calif.🤓

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you very much Mr. Art!

[@Freddie2598]

Don’t shake because it causes air pockets or bubbles in your finish….. the biscuits you cut off can be used as drink coasters….

[@user-ym6se2lu1y]

I'm so happy you bought a Chevy. My first P/U was a 1993 Siveraldo Extended cab Sport Bed and I loved it. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you!

[@barryroberts6470]

Love to see the rebuild of the New Truck i bet it turns out looking fantastic as well, so go ahead and get that 'Grease Lightning' song on 😎😎🤣🤣 Take Care and Stay Safe, Barry (UK)

[@jamesseltenreich652]

Stir the finish I’m a wood worker/furniture builder and use it a lot, if you use it on a table surface avoid water for a good time for curing, water spots will be a problem but in the lamps you will have no problem, you guys are doing such a great job on your place, your Alaskan friend

[@deborahplyler6528]

Love the lamp you create out of the wood pieces

[@mnburney]

Love love love the trucks. Keep us updated.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Will do! Thank you for your feedback!

[@michellemartens6372]

Jim you are a Hoot! I love listening to your shenanigans. We you both have great ones actually! You both are great to watch. I love your personalities and how well you both work so well together. I see other KZbinrs call things hootis tools lol. Have you patent the name yet? LOL. Take care, Michelle from Idaho

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you so much Michelle! Thank you for watching!

[@davidhuffine5084]

[@user-tn2sn2db8s]

We love watching the progress on all the projects. Yes want very much to see truck projects! Hubby has restored a 55 Chevy hardtop, and working on a 67 Chevelle. Yall are such a cute little family. Love to see how you did the cypress knee lamps. They turned out beautiful!

[@lloydsimms]

Great video, keep us informed on the truck progress😊

[@CajunCountryLivin]

[@ilonakatalindako-tolman5545]

Wonderful idea...looks pretty cool🎉

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you!

[@charleshutchings9355]

I got in late on this one. I'm excited by the trucks. My bro has a '96 4x4 step side like this one. The clear coat was peeling off two thirds of the dog house. I sanded and painted it for him this summer. Not perfect, but it looks better. Black, on Black, in Black! I have a spare grille, but again....a little peeling clear coat, and no Bowtie. Great video kids!

[@yancyhebert9937]

I think a Brand new 90's hootis vehicle is a perfect idea. I hope the inspector feels the same Thanks for sharing

[@G3A3]

i watch vice grip garage, so i'll certainly watch the truck build.😀

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you so much!

[@mattgirgenti3595]

Lamps looks AMAZING!! .. but Jim's "hair upgrade" that was THE video moment! Good luck on the truck(s). As a Chevy 300,000+ mile driver, I totally agree with the selection.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you Matt!! I always wanted flowing curly locks😂 We are ready to get this truck going!

[@marc6656]

Love those lamps. What a great idea.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you! 😊

[@bradcurtis5324]

It's basically the same as the portable air tank I have. Put 120psi in and go. Need air turn the shut off and add air. Then refill it when needed. Looks cheaper than what I paid for mine.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

We love it!

[@estellaknox9285]

The lamps are unique different last but least they looks fabulous what a brilliant idea.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you!!

You two are so fun to watch keep putting out videos no matter what it is about you guys are great together hi from Oklahoma City

[@wendyhall1395]

Don't shake it because bubbles will form and they don't pop easily. I use that product all the time.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Good to know!!

[@Steve.5]

Sure nice to spend the day with y’all. Ladly is the cutest! Such a sweet little girl. I remember when my kids were that age! The lamps are nice! You could sell or give as gifts. I’m with you on the pickup trucks! 👍

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thanks so much Steve!

[@jaimeortega4940]

Glad you take your kid out in nature as many kids these days don't get that. Yes I'd love to see your Cajun hybrid truck build. Love the Cypress lamp idea. By hybrid I mean add a hybrid electric to your old truck so your gas mileage should go up from 10 to 15 mpg . I had one of those trucks back in the day great for hauling stuff, and cheap and easy to fix.

[@angierlevel2187]

Yessss! I want to see updates. I think it would be cool to have a separate video of building the truck up but that might be too much work but I would watch it.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Coming up!🛻

Coming up!🛻 😃

[@kenadamson4535]

The lamps look great and and I'm sure the "rebuild" of the truck will be a good video series to watch and also to make ... would love to see it along with your builds and all your other videos ... great content and love the humor for you all ...

[@sofloprepper6710]

Those trucks are great I wanna see all the work done the black one has so much potential especially with that 350 small block and it is this delete to a carburetor. It will clean up so nice. My son drives a 1988 chevy, it was his first vehicle he ever bought and he loves it
