Hello Bruce, I know you had a bit of travel to see your friends. Just wanted to let you know that every evening the wife and I would look to see if you had posted a new video. We enjoy your show very much and always anticipate the next video since we wonder what you’re going to build next. Be encouraged by the fact that you have fans of your show. David and Lillian in Oklahoma U.S.A.

Yay for the poly-tunnel. Everything looks fab!!! Bruce, your vids are ALWAYS great! Has to be hard to constantly crank them out. Breaks are deserved! I see that a couple of other vloggers I follow, like Daniel, whom you know, and Eva Zu Beck, the traveler, and Gil, a builder in Alaska, are taking breaks. Miss them, but you all have to do what’s best for you and the family! Great job as always! Things are lookin’ great!

It can definitely burn you out a little. I think if I didn’t take a break the quality woods just go down and down and make me want to quit. Glad to be back now though

Everybody needs a break every once and a while. Everything takes 3-4 times longer when filming so impressive what you film anyway.

It’s exciting this time of year. Everything seems to be waking up for spring :)

Great Vlog Bruce I 100% get that all the filming and particularly the editing must get you down at times so I guess when it happens take short breaks to keep you motivated. Quick question I note you have a Dewalt Nail Gun I am looking to buy a Nail Gun how do you rate the Dewalt? Have a great week, I wish I had the time to come over and give you a push on with the upstairs....my kind of project but sadly not possible right now....big projects like that often need 2 people to keep the motivation up and ease the workload. Many thanks

What a beautiful garden! My plants are only about 4” tall so far. A late freeze caused me to have to replant my purple hull peas. I put in around 700 corn and the same amount of peas in my big garden. My squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers are in above ground gardens to make for easier weeding. Homesteading is a lot of work, and I’m thrilled when you are able to get out a video. Don’t stress if you can’t get one out every week. If it becomes too much of a burden, you will lose that joy that shines through and is what caused me to subscribe in the first place. Happy Easter!
