    I have been watching your channel for years and what I still find endearing is your ability to laugh at your own quirkiness, make light of any situation, include your children, and stay focused on each other as a family and on the task at hand. You are the perfect couple. I wish you were my family. Love you all so much.

    My sister gave me a thousand-piece puzzle of a group of cats. It is not rectangular, square or round. Wherever the cats' ears, legs, paws and tails extend that is the edge. It is very irregular. So far, I am loving it, but it is very difficult. I never glue my puzzles, but I do frame them. This one is going to be a bugger to frame.

    To prevent the rollback hold your foot on the break, shift to neutral, set the e-brake, shift to park. Dad taught me that one to save the transmission from clunking into gear when parked on a hill but I found it equally as handy in hooking up trailers. Cheers! 😊

  • @galady8632
    @galady8632 Před 2 měsíci +3

    I always appreciate an unexpected video from Ashley and Doug! I was often amazed you kept such a low trailer hitch, especially with your type soil. Of course I knew it would be addressed and it is now completed. (For me tasks usually take twice as long as I anticipated and often are more costly. Such is life on a fixed income.) Being your own boss allows so much flexibility. Odd jobs can seem aimless but they are usually the foundation to other accomplishments. Moving the cars will allow for progress on other projects. The new hitch will be safer and easier to utilize. Of course reworking the workshop/trailer was a lengthy undertaking but it will enhance timeliness re other tasks. Great family accomplishing amazing things.

A very relaxed and enjoyable video. I was thinking perhaps you were going to make a garden area where you were moving things aside.

    Nothing I'd rather do than put puzzles together. A web site where they send you a free weekly puzzle. Use it when I don't have room to put a puzzle on a table. No pieces lost either. Moving the cars did make the yard more organized and cleaner. So glad Ashley still locks up her mower. That thing would be gone in a flash. She did a great job moving the cars with it. Doug the upgrade on the hitch was necessary too. Looks really good.
