I loved this episode. Your “brand” is loving each other, fixing what doesn’t work and always smiling, no blaming and never taking each other for granted. Don’t change. Your channel inspires.

How come your channel doesn’t have many many more subscribers. I have loved your channel and recommend to others because you are just the most happy couple with each phase of your life. You have such enthusiasm for each new project even taking in some piggies and making them your loved pets. Good Luck and keep on giving me the giggles as I watch your show each week. Hope this year you at least get to 50000 subscribers.🤞🤞

Just when we think that the barn is beautiful you upgrade and make it look even better. It looks amazing.❤

Definitely thicker curtains in the living room the outside looks amazing and so glad you're all warm

It’s too cute of a barn house to turn it back. It’s a perfect little guest house!

[rosemaryjasper]

The heavier the curtain the warmer or more draughty proof it will be. I’m a great believer in using curtains to keep draughts out! You can also use light weight rugs on walls to keep warmth in. The chestnut cladding is looking good! Happy new year to you all. Have a great week❤️

No one is more thankful than I am when the furnace kicks on at 5:30 a.m. and takes the chill off so I can get up and make my way to the bathroom without getting frostbite! Once it snows heavily, I don't want to stick a toe outside the duvet until the furnace has raised the temperature at least 10°!!! I don't mind my face being cold at night, but the rest of me objects strongly! Forget "Home Sweet Home"! I want "Home Warm Home"!

Oh my gosh! The biny tarn was always really cute. Now it's rustically beautiful!😍

Just love it you two never cease to amaze me. You children are learning so much about life from your handwork and will certainly be cosy warm and safe all winter long. Much respect to you Badger and Kayla watching from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 👏 🇦🇺👍🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It looks so good I would not turn it back into a barn when the house is done - I'd keep it as a guest house for family/friends visits and build a barn somewhere else♥

Oh my heart, when you said his pillow talk was about heating, I lost my husband 1 year ago on dec 14 th. and his pillow talk was always about his new ideas for different things.
I love watching you guys use everything in multiple ways.

[miriammuskal]

Yes you are so lucky to be able to do all the beautiful improvements to the barn plus heating yippy
