I am so sorry for your loss I lost my grandfather in July it's important to take time with your family and grieve don't rush yourself because that only causes burnt out in the long run

@TheMeanGreen53 6 месяцев назад

My grandpa died just this January on the 26th, sorry for you loss

@eugenius1192 7 месяцев назад

Seeing you pin-striping the legs of the lathe was a good reminder that your channel is not only about restoring a house but also about using original tools in the process as much as possible. And putting as much diligence and attention to detail into both projects.

@ritatharp5238 7 месяцев назад

Heartfelt sympathy for you and Kim. Losing a loved one is never an easy thing. Thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏 Love 🩷 and memories never die.

My Grandpa always told me, "Organization is the key to motivation." I can not work in a cluttered space. You have done an amazing job in your work space. 😊

@karenmetcalf-pugh5 7 месяцев назад

The workshop looks so good. Having a nice organized area means so much when you're looking for a misplaced tool. Do what you need to do to heal. I believe your grandmother is watching everything you do.

Exactly, I like the renovation process, the private life is non of my business.

@Lucinda_Jackson 7 месяцев назад

@@schnickschnack2000 To a large extent, yes, I agree. But many of us have grown very fond of Kaleb and Kim and do enjoy knowing how things are going for them. They have gone much more private since they married and that's to be expected - priorities shift appropriately. But we still appreciate the personal touches. I sure do miss Kim, though. ❤

@jennastephens1224 7 месяцев назад

I love that you really took the time (and are currently taking more time) to build the essential systems. It reminds me of the steps to build on raw land back in the Victorian Era. First you get a basic shelter and sanitary systems, then you build the workshop, then the animal housing, and then and only then do you make a fancy home for yourself.

@pitsnipe5559 7 месяцев назад

@kristinrogersdotter5492 7 месяцев назад

You are one of the most genuinely thoughtful and caring people I've come across. You never have to think a video isn't up to some "standard" or worry about "content" because we're all pulling for you like a friend. You're supposed to be human, and mourn, and grieve and feel and be with family. We're just happy with you sharing whatever is happening that week...it doesn't have to be "exciting" because your natural enthusiasm has us all hooked. I hope this all makes sense. ❤

@Lucinda_Jackson 7 месяцев назад

Yep! We're here through thick and thin, always pulling for you and just enjoying the time you share. It doesn't have to be "exciting" all the time because the quiet times shared are what make friendships what they are.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Beloved Grandma. I recently lost my 99 year old Mom, it’s hard. You are not accountable to we who watch your Channel. You work through what and as you need. You have made improvements as you could, getting your Lathe in place, organizing its components and your tools will make what you do easier for you. I found, every step we take is one behind us and closer to our goals. I’m following your work, eagerly, celebrating each step forward.

I am so very sorry about losing your Grandmother. Family first is a good thing. Your workshop looks amazing and it will help you out in your future projects (which we are looking forward to).

@christinahand973 7 месяцев назад

I found this episode rather relaxing! Clearing up the basement was obviously a lot of work. I found just having the before and after pictures ver satisfying! Sometimes those sped up videos are so hectic they exhaust me. 😂 I really didn’t need to watch you moving and tidying and taking things down and putting things up. That ‘after’ walk through was perfect. And it was nice to hear you talking about your plans. I’m glad you were able to do what felt good and not what you thought you should do. A change is as good as a rest. And when you’re dealing with grief you need some downtime and some alone time without any pressure. Looking forward to seeing how you go in 2024. Take care.

@brendamattox7558 7 месяцев назад

Kaleb, you take all the time you need to deal with your loss. We will all still be here when you're ready to commence Season 4. The pin-striping reminded me of my sign-painter Dad who left us nearly 20 years ago. He did a LOT of that on vehicles as well as signs.

@valerieb.4912 6 месяцев назад

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand why what you do with your house is very therapeutic. When I sew, I find it so therapeutic. I can not wait to see you use those machines! God Bless you and your family. Both of you are so real and honest. It is wonderful to see that there are still good people in this sad times in the USA.

@misszsazsa6288 7 месяцев назад

You are like a gift to all of us! You have realized Life is a Journey, not a destination. You have been kind enough to take us on yours and Kim's journey. I don't think you'll ever find an end to your project because despite all the stress and costs (perhaps tears?) you are loving this journey at restiring this old home. With each epuside I watch, I find it more and more to be YOUR home, not Mr. Brown's. It is a labor of love and we are all in love with being taken alongside of you to see the changes. I'm sorry about the loss of your Grandmother. I'm sure she was proud to see you restoring this home. ❤🎉

Sorry for your loss. It is never easy losing a family member. Cleaning your equipment and shop is exactly what you need. It is a sort of down time for you, but in the long run it is up time as well.

That lathe is soooo beautiful ! It must have been very difficult getting all the paint off but yeah so worth it ❤..amazing .. can't wait to see it working. That being said, I would like to say as well that your health, physical or mental is the most important thing compared to when and if we see the latest progress, the fact you are sharing 'any' of this journey with us is an absolute privilege and treat for me. You share with us so much of your real life journey, and grieving is a part of life that one would be lucky not to have to go through, yet all of us will at various times in our lives. Please take all the time you need, in the way that works for you, and I will be here cheering you on no matter if or when the next video comes along. Big hugs to you and Kim from Brighton Uk.

@merana59 7 месяцев назад

Everything should be done in your time...not to push RU-vid viewers and algorithms. When you're ready, things will flow better than forced during times of stress and grief. That said, one thing for your workshop prep...A dust collector if you can, and consider taping drywall joints, so wood dust doesn't build up in the space behind and become a fire hazard. Nice to see you enjoy a moment as an artist with a touch of pin striping.

@lilykatmoon4508 7 месяцев назад

My deepest condolences on the loss of your grandmother. I can empathize 💯 with how cleaning and organizing helps me get in a better head space. Please don’t feel you need to record time lapses and speak to us through the camera if you’re not feeling it. You need to process and heal. The work shop looks great and I hope it was cathartic for you. Take care.

@spacehonky6315 7 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear about your granny. After the funeral and everyone goes home, comes the personal grieving. There's a sadness when a piece of steady wisdom and unwavering love is gone from your world forever. When i lost my Dad there was an urge to focus on important things and leave the drama and drivel to others. My Dad was like that. He was wise, calm, measured, and uninterested in the frivolous. It makes my effort to emulate and honor his best qualities seem worthwhile. Take your time to weep and reminisce. We'll be here waiting on this silly social media platform to see your next beautiful sweaty project. We anticipate hearing from you, just like always. You grabbed my attention with your first few introductory offerings, and now I'm interested for the long haul. If you need a chainsaw "professional" (whatever that means😆), or some grunt work done, just holler.(I'm only about an hour south)
