How good is your Dad. He brought tears to my eyes. He is a treasure. I lost my beloved Dad two years ago and I miss him terribly. That Mud Cave is looking AWESOME. I always love your upcycles. So clever. Sending big big cuddles and scratches to Nelly and Daisy, the stars of the show 😹xx Teresa ❤🇦🇺
Your relationship with your dad is beautiful . I was a dads girl and he taught me diy, took me fishing and we watched footy matches together at the local ground , not to mention stuff about cars , which has saved me loads of money over the years . He's not with us now , : ( and i really miss him not being here to guide me through the jobs i'm not sure of . Make the most of being with your dad , it's the best time of your life, with loads of happy memories. x

Pretty sure Findlater is pronounced Finndlatter, sadly! Also, the wee robin was hoping for you to throw it worms you found while digging. If you give them some, they'll stick around and come really close to you, they're gallus wee birds :) Big love from Scotland, as always. Jen. Edit: Just finished the video, love that upcycle, your ability to be able to repurpose the weirdest things is making me very envious!

I always enjoy watching you and Tim dig in old dumps. This one, weirdly, brought back fond memories of me exploring old sheds, lean tos, and fire pits at both my grandparents, and great grandparents houses back in the early 80s, when I was a tiny treasure hunter aged under 10. 😂 Though less snakes and spiders at your dump dig. Clearly an Aussie thing.😂 And I LOVED the upcycle in this video. Utterly brilliant idea, well thought out, and perfectly executed. As someone who also tries to use and re-use absolutely everything in my art and everyday life, it's always awesome seeing I'm not alone in my passion for zero waste creativity. ❤

I am sitting here at my table watching this video my thoughts 💭 are of how you and your dad we’re enjoying building this MudCave . You are both so sweet toward each other as you put a bandaid on your dad’s thumb 👍🏻. What a beautiful scene that took my breath away! After he had finished you hugged him for all he helped he gave! Si I was very touched with you and your dad please cherish these moments with him. My dad passed away and I miss him so much. I have only a few great memories with him that will stay with me forever. You did a fantastic work on the gas can, I wasn’t sure what you would do to up cycle this rusty, torn and tattered thing! I am in awe of your skills. What a wonderful mindset you have with all of your creations! Steve is a great friend to help you with the roof it’s hard work, but he sure did it. Kudos to all hands on deck! Blessings to all of you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

I recognized the meat grinder right away. When my Grandparents came to America and during the depression my Grandfather would grind meat and make homemade German Sausage.He would sell it door to door. We still have the grinder and used to have a get together every Oct 21st to celebrate my Dads birthday by making sausage. We still do it every 5 years or so. My Dad has been gone for 26 years.
