Olight flashlight and laser www.olightstore.ca/s/E8T2I3 Code: jo10【$89-$10】 This week Trena repairs a cabinet door that has splintered right off of its hinges.
“A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of hopes and dreams.” Good luck on your journey woman, i`m sure you have many many more reasons for moving back home, at the end of our travels nothing we acquire matters, what matters is family ! many blessings 🙌
Warmest wishes for a smooth and safe move, Trena. If I were your father (and I'm old enough to be), I would be overjoyed at the prospect of having you back home. Thanks for sharing this obviously happy moment with your viewers.
Congrats Trena! So happy that your getting the chance to reconnect with your family and that you get the chance to do another shop in exactly the way you want it to be. I'm positive this is going to be an adventure well worth watching with you. 👍👍
You are doing something you will never regret. My grandfather and then my father taught me and really gave me the impetus to go into the restoration business. I waited too long and never got to spend more than a few weeks each summer with grandpa working with him. I did a few projects with dad but by the time I had opened my business and dad was forced to retire from his office job, my dream of working side by side with him in the shop was killed with him by cancer this past December. I have been listening to this video on my first day back in my shop after spine surgery 2 1/2 weeks after loosing and burying my dad. Now I stare at a shop that has been filled with memories from my lifetime, cherished family heirlooms that I was always going to restore with dad, the former student now the master teaching his teacher. I know dad and grandpa will be here in the shop beside me because they are in my heart and the base of the skills I developed over a lifetime but a big hole will be here as well. I beg of you, cherish the time you have with your dad in the shop. They will be with you for the rest of your life. I look forward to those videos if you choose to share them. God bless you both.
Trena, this is such exciting news for your family. Family is everything. Your parents must be so excited to have you coming back home and to take over your dad's legacy. Shame on Ontario for not allowing you to pass on your talents to students, you are such a great teacher! Looking forward to all that you will be sharing with us.
Trena, as a gentleman that’s made 82 trips around the sun i am proud of you for placing your family first. Family is the most important thing we can have in life. Good luck with your new venture as I’m pretty sure you will, we will look forward to following your dream with you.
OMG my heart sank when you said you needed a serious chat with us. I thought the worst and you were quitting because of the trolls or other sadder reasons. My heart came back again and then flew for you when you said you were going home. I am so so happy for you. To be with your family especially your dad again is wonderful news for you all 😁😁 I can't wait to see your journey and continue the wonderful adventure and beautiful furniture etc with you. Thank you for still taking us with you ❤️💞
That has to be exciting. God Bless you and everyone. Go home to take care of your parents. I went home after 15 years away. It was the best move of my life.
Home is where the heart is! I should know. After 30 years in New York, I packed up my family and my dreams and moved back to the country of my birth, Greece! I wish you luck and success in your new move!
Wow, I am so happy for you! I became a field tech due to my Dad having been one, and going on rides with him as a kid and I took over before he passed on. Still putting down the miles and making repairs to this day. I hope you have a safe journey throughout and I know your Dad (and I'm sure the rest of your family.. but let's be real - it's obvious you're the apple of your Dad's eye lol) is absolutely dancing a jig that you're going to be the one to take over his life's work! :)
Trena, do it now, without hesitation! My RN mother decided she would work another year so that my father and she could have more money to enjoy traveling in their new fifth wheel trailer throughout the US and Canada. Before she could retire she was diagnosed with stomach cancer and they never made it out of Michigan again, prior to her passing. There are never any guarantees about our time with loved ones, so grab hold of those moments and cherish every single second you have with family. You will have memories to cherish over your entire lifetime, with no regrets regarding your move to be close to family. God bless. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
I can imagine that your current clients are devastated at your leaving, but you and your family are excited for your move. I’m looking forward to seeing your progress with a new shop and to continue to see your great and helpful videos.
Trena, I am so happy for you that you are doing what you love and being able to move back home to be with family. I was wondering why the videos were getting fewer and far between. You are an amazing person and excellent role model for folks. I wish you nothing but continued success and all the happiness you deserve. Cannot wait for the video detailing the build out of the new shop.
I'm a wanna-be woodworker, so I enjoyed the repair on the beautiful door. Enjoyed more your exciting news. Enjoyed most your obvious eyes-light-up joy in telling it. Blessings on your move.
I am so happy for you, Trena! This is truly the right decision for you and your daughter to move back to your family’s city. You are truly blessed to be a skilled craft woman who has the flexibility to do just that. An even bigger blessing will allow you to work with your dad and also you and your daughter be close to your family again. Fantastic❣️ Life is short and that makes it the right choice for everyone❤️
This is great news, as long as I get to see your videos on a sort of regular basis, it doesn't matter where you are, I watch to see how you do your magic and just be you. I know your family will be glad to see you home and this should benefit all. Best wishes, and be careful in the move.
Congratulations on your move to a new shop. Love your work that you do. Your Parents are Blessed to have an Amazing Daughter as you. Keep us fans updated. We are truly excited for you.❤❤🎉 .
Aw, how lovely for you and your family! 🤗 And exciting! We moved from England to Alberta in 1967 when I was 22 and now I'm 78 and still miss my extended family. They're all over from Portsmouth to Newcastle-upon-Tyne and points between, but a piece of my heart is still there, family is so important. Looking forward to the start of your new adventure and being back where your heart is too. Good luck! 💖😘
Hi Trena. So lovely that you'll be rejoining your Dad and be able to work with him again. I love your videos and look forward to watching your new workshop being built and continuing to enjoy your amazing skills.
Trena, it's no place like home. I left my home in 1970 after joining the Marines, I did twenty-three and a half years with them, after retirement 1994 I landed a job with a company in Texas which only lasted five years. Once the contract ran out, I had to find another job, so I tried to go home in 1999, but there were no jobs available so for a short while I did nothing. Then in 2000 I landed a job in Florida, after twenty-one years living and working there, I finally retired completely and after fifty-four years working and being 70 years of age, I moved back to my home in West Virginia. Enjoy home and family!!
This is wonderful news for you and your daughter to be with family again!! Working with your dad will be returning to your roots! I am celebrating for you!
Wow, how exciting for you and your daughter! Your dad must be so proud of all you’ve accomplished and is so happy to see his work continue through his daughter. May God bless you and your family in this next phase of life.
So Happy for you and your family Trena on your new chapter in Life - And more importantly going back to your stomping grounds and taking over your Dad’s business. Can’t wait to see your future videos as you keep us updated and bring us along on your journey!!! You’re the Best !!!!
Trena, you are one of my very favorite CZcamsrs!! I am an amateur woodworker and I admire your work very much...especially the big dose of love that you put into every project!! I had the good fortune of working with my father in his business for 5 years during my vacations from middle school and high school. You will NEVER regret this move and I am so happy that you and your family are in a position to make it happen. Thank you for allowing me to tag along with you...besides being ultra talented, sweet, and very kind, I have to admit that I love your amazingly naturally gorgeousness!! ❤❤🤗❤❤
I almost came to tears - not to be a weirdo. I worked with my father for years, and now co-own his hardware store with one of my brothers. Hardware is related to your business as one must know a little about a lot, and sometimes I just ask for help from the contractor in the store - a plumber, an electrician, or a general contractor. Your videos have helped me immensely in regard to what I sell and advising about refinishing. They are also, as many have stated, very calming. I am slowly fixing up the house now that the kids are grown up, and trying to do the right and proper repairs or renovations. As I watch your videos and I am re-caning my parents dining room chairs I realize I don't need it to be perfect on the finish. Thanks for showing perfection, and restoration, or just "doing enough." You are a gem.
Wow. Thankyou so much. And yes hardware is so important to my business. I’m glad for businesses like yours. Don’t work to hard and thankyou for tuning in. Cheers!
This is a decision that you will come to know as the single biggest and best of your entire life. I can see the tears of joy in your mom and dad’s eyes. You deserve all the best in what life has to offer. Congratulations 🤗
Trena, I am so happy for you! Thank you for sharing your backstory. It's the best part of this video. I rejoice with you in the start of the next chapter in your life! I'm SO excited for you and your family being together again. My very best wishes to you and yours, and your continued success and happiness. Cheers. 😎👍🏻
¡Gracias! Estimada Trenna por compartir momentos personales de tu vida. "Caminante no hay camino, camino se hace al andar" reza una frase muy cierta, y vayas donde vayas deseo que todo te vaya bien, que Dios bendiga a tu familia y a tí, que lo que emprendas sea bendecido y loable. Tu estado de ánimo se siente cuando explicas tu trabajo, que por cierto lo haces con mucha dedicación, tu voz en algún momento se vuelve grave que indica un sentimiento, a diferencia cuando no hay esos momentos de cambios de voz, es lo que pienso. Te deseo lo mejor estés donde estés, saludos y éxitos.
@@tetedur377 La idea de la frase de Antonio Machado es que, nosotros hacemos nuestros destinos, nosotros construimos nuestros propios caminos de la vida. Eh ahí del mejor deseo para Trenna que vaya a donde vaya ella será la que haga su propio destino. Gracias por tu tiempo a mi comentario. Saludos.
Being with family is wonderful. Most of my kids are close by except for our daughter and new granddaughter. This news has put a huge smile on your face.
Having retired at 66, five years ago, I've had non stop requests for my talents in restoring one thing or another. My not having a shop stopped that possibility. Now I've done it... I leased a 2,500 square foot commercial building, threw the doors open the 14th of last month and it's been full of money jobs since. My wood shop takes up part and auto restoration, the rest. Good luck to us both!
Yea Trena! Congratulations on reuniting with Dad and the family! Can’t wait to see u and your Dad maybe do a little something sometime! You did an amazing job on the kitchen cabinets! Just beautiful! So,so happy for you! Hope you fulfill your dreams there! Home really is where the heart is!🌻💛🐾🐈
Yes yes yes. Be with your Dad. My woodworker teacher (Dad) died of Covid in Feb 2021. I miss him terribly but think of him every time I use his tools. I built a tiny house last summer .. I’m 63 and live in alaska!,
When you're Dad was visiting I thought they work so well together, I bet they miss working together. So congratulations, follow your heart and your dreams.
Happy for you that you make the decision to return to settle in the region where you started your furniture restoration business no matter where you do things the main thing is to feel good to flourish and give yourself to your passion surrounded by your family and those you love and who love you You will surely have the opportunity to see people you had not seen again Since your departure so be proud of your work and your works and continue to to marvel at your talents and competence wherever you do it. Good luck in your new life.
I know that feeling (it took me 29 years and 4 states to find my way home). It was fun seeing your enthusiasm about what's to come. I hope it's an uneventful and safe move for everyone. Very much looking forward to what's in store at the new/old shop.
Congratulations on the move back home! I can only imagine how excited your whole family must be! As long as you’re taking us along, I just want to mention that road trips usually make for entertaining videos 😁 Safe journey!
I've been using that style of hinge for twenty years, but normally only for cheap stuff like kitchen cabinets. I've never had them break out, even in hardwood like that. What usually causes problems from what I've seen is somebody kneels down gets something out of the cabinet, then put their hand on the door and use it to push themselves to their feet. Even light pressure will eventually kill the hinge and possibly blow the wood out;
It could be that or maybe kids hanging on the door... but either way, it will likely continue happening though so the split needs to be strong enough to handle that possibility. What about adding some steel to reinforce the thin routered edge? Like a skinny dado cut over the split plus a thin steel bar and a screw from the outside edge through the entire side holding it together? Then you can put a couple of plugs into the counter-sinked holes...
We live in Saskatoon and love it here! Great news that you will be based here! I have watched every one of your videos that I could find on UTube and loved everyone of them! Only problem is now I cannot watch anyone else’s because no one is as good as you! Welcome back to Saskatoon and keep on doing your manic!
Congratulations!!! To be able to go back and work with your Dad is so exciting! Treasure every moment with your family. I still miss my Dad and talk to him when I am working on a project and it has been 30 years.
Hi from Fife, Scotland Trena. Over the past year or so I've been enjoying your videos. I'm a retired Church of Scotland minister, so not a woodworker, but the quality of your restoration work is inspirational. I wish you all the best for your move and your new home and workplace back 'home' and look forward to following your progress in the months and years to come.
Thanks for sharing the great news! Home is where the heart is. Parents aren’t around forever and you will get a chance to enjoy their company. Home is where the heart is!
I have always enjoyed our presentation and content so I hope your absence isn't for too long. It's heartwarming to see the emotion you show when talking about moving back home to your family. I wish you all the best for now and the future. From a loving father/grandad. 🤩
I noticed in the last video that the shop seemed more empty than usual. I applaud your decision. Spend all the time with your family while you can. Congratulations on the move
Hate moving, love a new place. If nothing else, packing (if you have time) is a chance to organize everything we have that often we have forgotten about, and trim down what we don't need. Happy for you and your family. Best of luck with the move!
Even if it's a big change, combined with a lot of work and logistics, I'm happy for you that you're back with your family. Ever since you posted your videos, which I follow with great interest, you keep emphasizing how much you owe your father and how much you enjoyed working with him. It is wonderful that you will now work together again and that a traditional family business can continue. Good luck on your journey...:) I am looking forward to your cooperation.
Trena, I just found your videos today and started watching! So glad you are continuing your business. I’ve learned more from you in just four of your videos today than any other furniture restoration videos on CZcams, and I’ve been watching for a couple of years now. I’m very happy too for you in your new venture and that you will be working with your Dad. Good luck!🍀👍 ❤
Happy to see you are going to the family business with your Dad. You appear to be a lovely person. I wish you great success in your future adventures. Looking forward to seeing you construct your next new shop. Keep your dreams alive young lady. Best wishes.
Good for you. Family is important. It's especially important when your parents get older. I am sure your father is very happy to have his daughter working with him again. Good luck and keep the vidoes coming.
You will not regret going home to family. I moved home and my children grew up knowing their grandparents and other relatives. I think they are better today for knowing my parents who showered them with love and laughter. God bless you in your endeavors.
Congratulations Trena. It will be a loss to your present local community but what a bonus to your family and home town! you know that doesn't mean your dad has to sharpen all your tools lol. It was nice to hear a little bit of your background too, reminds me of mine. Good luck, best wishes and read the instructions lol..!
OK ! So you are not just a great craft master but you have a heart also. DARN IT ....I am getting emotional here.... Many blessings to you in your move back home. There is no place like it.
Trenna, if you are happy, I am happy! Big move, but happiness is paramount. As long as you have electricity and computer access, we will be happy too :-)
Life is a journey, and the road can be twisty- turney. You seem at peace and excited about this one. Wishing You a successful move, a flourishing business, a blessed future and many, many more CZcams videos of your remarkable talents. I don't care what part of Canada they come from, as long as you keep 'em comin'. You're amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations Trena!! I'm so happy for you and your family. I'm not a wood worker but I really enjoy your artistry, you're so talented. Anytime you can reconnect with family and surround yourself with loved ones is the right path. Love and light to you and your family. I'm looking forward to your venture!! ❤
time spent in one location, is stressful and all encompassing. I have really enjoyed watching you solve some very challenging projects. Trena, you already are teaching, at the University of U-Tube. Good job Professor.
The down side is that your local customers will have tears in there eyes as you drive down the road. Good Luck to you for the future, I'm sure we will see lots of jobs and even including your dad 😊
Congrats on moving back close to family, doing what you love! I am so so so so VERY happy for you and them! Thank you so dang much for sharing all you have with us! Keep us informed!
Hallo Trena, ich freue mich für dich, es gibt nichts schöneres als bei der Familie zu sein , liebe bekommen und liebe geben ist das größte im familiären Zusammenhalt. Ich bewundere deine Arbeit sehr Du kannst Stolz auf dich und deiner Familie sein. Ich wünsche dir alles , alles Gute viele liebe Grüße Christel
Trena, thank you for sharing your amazing and heartwarming life story, especially your move back home to continue with your Dad's work. Your work reflects your values and your life, and you are truely an inspiration for everyone who wants to work for themselves. Please continue to make these videos and share your journey with us, it is an honour to be part of it. God bless you and your family, stay safe and well ❤
Congratulations on your success and your ability to follow your heart and dreams. Family is everything and we only have our parents for so long. What a privilege to be able to work with your Dad before he retires. Hope the preparation and the move goes smoothly. Also beautiful job on finishing the cabinets and the repair.😊
Congratulations Trenna on your decision to go home. I heard a little saying before that might ring a bell for you..."Home is where the heart is and if your heart isn't where you are then it could never be 'Home'." I like your courage...The best to you!!! Oh yeah...nice job, as usual, on the door!
“A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of hopes and dreams.” Good luck on your journey woman, i`m sure you have many many more reasons for moving back home, at the end of our travels nothing we acquire matters, what matters is family ! many blessings 🙌
Yes! Thank you!
So true... You'll only have 1 family, but houses come and go.
Good luck with the move ❤
Congratulations! I am so happy for you and your family look forward to everything you will be doing
Hey Rat 868, that was great, I've never heard this before. Everything you said was just perfect!!
Trena, just don't stop doing these videos, you make it fun to learn again. Your Dad must be so proud of your talents with wood repairs.
As a dad of two grown daughters I suspect your mom and dad are ecstatic with the news that you are moving back close to them.
Warmest wishes for a smooth and safe move, Trena. If I were your father (and I'm old enough to be), I would be overjoyed at the prospect of having you back home. Thanks for sharing this obviously happy moment with your viewers.
This is reality TV at its best. Good content and ZERO commercials. Glad you're headed home near family and friends. I'm happy for you.
Congrats Trena! So happy that your getting the chance to reconnect with your family and that you get the chance to do another shop in exactly the way you want it to be. I'm positive this is going to be an adventure well worth watching with you. 👍👍

OMGosh Trena, this brought tears to my eyes (your news, not the hinge repair). I'm thrilled for you and your family! I hope we get to see your Dad :)
Thank you so much!
We’ve seen him & mom too. They’re both gems. Gifted repair & upholstering. The talent runs deep 😉😃

Happy for you and yours! You are so very good at what you do and you'll never have a problem finding projects and doing what you love.

Being with family is wonderful. Most of my kids are close by except for our daughter and new granddaughter. This news has put a huge smile on your face.
Having retired at 66, five years ago, I've had non stop requests for my talents in restoring one thing or another. My not having a shop stopped that possibility. Now I've done it... I leased a 2,500 square foot commercial building, threw the doors open the 14th of last month and it's been full of money jobs since. My wood shop takes up part and auto restoration, the rest. Good luck to us both!
Awesome!
@@johnsfurniturerepair My motto has always been, "Don't make it look like wasn't fixed...make it look like it NEVER needed fixed."
Yea Trena! Congratulations on reuniting with Dad and the family! Can’t wait to see u and your Dad maybe do a little something sometime! You did an amazing job on the kitchen cabinets! Just beautiful! So,so happy for you! Hope you fulfill your dreams there! Home really is where the heart is!🌻💛🐾🐈
Hello Sheila, how are you doing and
how is the weather over there?
Wishing you well for your move home again! Thank you for bringing us along - it will no doubt be exiting. Many good wishes from us in Sweden!
Yes yes yes. Be with your Dad. My woodworker teacher (Dad) died of Covid in Feb 2021. I miss him terribly but think of him every time I use his tools. I built a tiny house last summer .. I’m 63 and live in alaska!,
When you're Dad was visiting I thought they work so well together, I bet they miss working together. So congratulations, follow your heart and your dreams.
Happy for you that you make the decision to return to settle in the region where you started your furniture restoration business no matter where you do things the main thing is to feel good to flourish and give yourself to your passion surrounded by your family and those you love and who love you You will surely have the opportunity to see people you had not seen again Since your departure so be proud of your work and your works and continue to to marvel at your talents and competence wherever you do it. Good luck in your new life.
I know that feeling (it took me 29 years and 4 states to find my way home). It was fun seeing your enthusiasm about what's to come. I hope it's an uneventful and safe move for everyone. Very much looking forward to what's in store at the new/old shop.
Congrat on the new journey for young husband, daughter. Don't forget the beautiful shop-puppy
Trena, blessings to you on your new adventures in the near future. So very happy for you! Bet your Dad is looking forward to have you there❤
Congratulations on the move back home! I can only imagine how excited your whole family must be! As long as you’re taking us along, I just want to mention that road trips usually make for entertaining videos 😁 Safe journey!
That's the plan!
I've been using that style of hinge for twenty years, but normally only for cheap stuff like kitchen cabinets. I've never had them break out, even in hardwood like that. What usually causes problems from what I've seen is somebody kneels down gets something out of the cabinet, then put their hand on the door and use it to push themselves to their feet. Even light pressure will eventually kill the hinge and possibly blow the wood out;
Ah yes that may have happened
It could be that or maybe kids hanging on the door... but either way, it will likely continue happening though so the split needs to be strong enough to handle that possibility. What about adding some steel to reinforce the thin routered edge? Like a skinny dado cut over the split plus a thin steel bar and a screw from the outside edge through the entire side holding it together? Then you can put a couple of plugs into the counter-sinked holes...
There’s nothing like living near family and being close. I’m happy for you!
We live in Saskatoon and love it here! Great news that you will be based here! I have watched every one of your videos that I could find on UTube and loved everyone of them! Only problem is now I cannot watch anyone else’s because no one is as good as you! Welcome back to Saskatoon and keep on doing your manic!
Wow, thank you!
Congratulations!!! To be able to go back and work with your Dad is so exciting! Treasure every moment with your family. I still miss my Dad and talk to him when I am working on a project and it has been 30 years.
Trena, this is another opportunity for you and it is wonderful that you get to go back home to your family.
Hi from Fife, Scotland Trena. Over the past year or so I've been enjoying your videos. I'm a retired Church of Scotland minister, so not a woodworker, but the quality of your restoration work is inspirational. I wish you all the best for your move and your new home and workplace back 'home' and look forward to following your progress in the months and years to come.
As a Mom I know your family is so excited and will be so happy. Good luck and breath through all the junk of moving . You are a wise woman!
Thank you so much!
going home means your life has come full circle, congratulations.
Congratulations ma'am. Family is everything. I'm so glad you will be able to work with your Dad again.
It's great you can go back home and work with your dad again. Absolutely make the most of all your time with them.
I'm so happy for you. You need to be near your family in these uncertain days and times. Home is home! Congratulations.
Thanks for sharing the great news! Home is where the heart is. Parents aren’t around forever and you will get a chance to enjoy their company. Home is where the heart is!
So true!
I have always enjoyed our presentation and content so I hope your absence isn't for too long. It's heartwarming to see the emotion you show when talking about moving back home to your family. I wish you all the best for now and the future. From a loving father/grandad. 🤩
I noticed in the last video that the shop seemed more empty than usual. I applaud your decision. Spend all the time with your family while you can. Congratulations on the move
Hate moving, love a new place. If nothing else, packing (if you have time) is a chance to organize everything we have that often we have forgotten about, and trim down what we don't need. Happy for you and your family. Best of luck with the move!
Even if it's a big change, combined with a lot of work and logistics, I'm happy for you that you're back with your family. Ever since you posted your videos, which I follow with great interest, you keep emphasizing how much you owe your father and how much you enjoyed working with him. It is wonderful that you will now work together again and that a traditional family business can continue. Good luck on your journey...:)
I am looking forward to your cooperation.
Trena, I just found your videos today and started watching! So glad you are continuing your business. I’ve learned more from you in just four of your videos today than any other furniture restoration videos on CZcams, and I’ve been watching for a couple of years now. I’m very happy too for you in your new venture and that you will be working with your Dad. Good luck!🍀👍 ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
I send my best wishes from Denmark across the Atlantic to you and your daughter on your next journey.
Always follow your heart ❤️
Hello Susanne, how are you doing and
how is the weather over there?
Happy to see you are going to the family business with your Dad. You appear to be a lovely person. I wish you great success in your future adventures. Looking forward to seeing you construct your next new shop. Keep your dreams alive young lady. Best wishes.
Good for you. Family is important. It's especially important when your parents get older. I am sure your father is very happy to have his daughter working with him again. Good luck and keep the vidoes coming.
You will not regret going home to family. I moved home and my children grew up knowing their grandparents and other relatives. I think they are better today for knowing my parents who showered them with love and laughter. God bless you in your endeavors.
Congratulations Trena. It will be a loss to your present local community but what a bonus to your family and home town! you know that doesn't mean your dad has to sharpen all your tools lol.
It was nice to hear a little bit of your background too, reminds me of mine. Good luck, best wishes and read the instructions lol..!
Trena, Congratulations. I could sense the excitement in you. We will keep watching for the goodness to come.
Well congratulations, that's wonderful news. Family is very important.
OK ! So you are not just a great craft master but you have a heart also. DARN IT ....I am getting emotional here.... Many blessings to you in your move back home. There is no place like it.
Your great work will be missed in America. Wishing you the best back home.
I’m In Canada
The days of your father on earth are your biggest treasure. Congratulations , you made the best decision.
Follow your dreams Trena and enjoy working with your father. We'll be watching you.
Trenna, if you are happy, I am happy! Big move, but happiness is paramount. As long as you have electricity and computer access, we will be happy too :-)
Lol
So happy for you! Just don’t forget your CZcams family! We luv us some Trena!
If life is... the color we paint, may ours be a rainbow... may it have the lightness of hugs and the truth of affections, congratulations, teacher
Life is a journey, and the road can be twisty- turney. You seem at peace and excited about this one. Wishing You a successful move, a flourishing business, a blessed future and many, many more CZcams videos of your remarkable talents. I don't care what part of Canada they come from, as long as you keep 'em comin'. You're amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations Trena!! I'm so happy for you and your family. I'm not a wood worker but I really enjoy your artistry, you're so talented. Anytime you can reconnect with family and surround yourself with loved ones is the right path. Love and light to you and your family. I'm looking forward to your venture!! ❤
So exciting. I’m not sure how I missed this. I hope the adventure has gone well. I bet he’s a happy and proud dad.
time spent in one location, is stressful and all encompassing. I have really enjoyed watching you solve some very challenging projects. Trena, you already are teaching, at the University of U-Tube. Good job Professor.
All the very best to you! Your artistry and dedication is your ticket to your future success! I am thrilled for you.💜💙💜
Congratulations on selling your house and moving. I think it's awesome that you'll be back home with family and working with your dad again
At the end of the day it’s all about family. Congratulations
The down side is that your local customers will have tears in there eyes as you drive down the road. Good Luck to you for the future, I'm sure we will see lots of jobs and even including your dad 😊

What a privilege to be able to work with your Dad before he retires. Hope the preparation and the move goes smoothly. Also beautiful job on finishing the cabinets and the repair.😊
So, you're Running Back To Saskatoon. One of my favorite songs from the Guess Whom. Life is all about family. Hope your daughter adjusts to the move.
Congratulations Trenna on your decision to go home. I heard a little saying before that might ring a bell for you..."Home is where the heart is and if your heart isn't where you are then it could never be 'Home'." I like your courage...The best to you!!! Oh yeah...nice job, as usual, on the door!
Yes! Thank you!
its bitter sweet for you i can hear it in your voice. i will follow you wherever you go and watch anything you post Trena.
Congratulations! Generational family businesses are so awesome. Success to you.
How lovely moving back to family💖 Your next shop will be even better than your current one👍 All the best with the move.
