After retiring from sitting in front of a CAD system as a transportation designer for over 25 years and losing months of work at the drop of the hat, all I can say is don't blame yourself. You two are a great success and an example for anyone to follow.
Soldier on!!

I'm so sorry guys. But there's no need to apologize to us. We're grateful that you're here and that you provide such wonderful content. I understand your frustration and concern for the lost footage which means lost income, but you'll recoup that. At the end of day you're all healthy and doing well. That's more important than anything else.

Wondered where you went ❤. Losing data is a big loss. We are still here honey's. Breathe, what's gone is gone. Now, don't beat yourselves up. Mourning the lost of the personal pics and the editing material is like the rabbit hole. Don't follow it. Shut it down and move forward. Y'all got this! And we got y'all! ❤

As a grphic designer I feel this... Lost about 8 months of work a few years back. Was a hard lesson learned in making sure you back up EVERYTHING weekly on a hard drive, even simply for peace of mind.

Losing memories is heartbreaking💔 I am much older than you two, and what happened to me was devastating. In my early years I hardly went anywhere without my camera. Almost all my photography was on color slide film. People, places, trips, events that were all documented here, and in many of the states and countries I visited before 1979 all disappeared during one of my many moves while in the service. It still hurts to this day, because they are the only physical record that I have of all the people that made my early life a wonderful one to have lived. That was a hard pill to swallow. With the advent of digital cameras, computers, smartphones, tablets etc, I have back-up to the back-up .... a little overkill .... but better safe than sorry. The sad thing is, that even with all that tech.... I don't find myself taking many pictures or vids. Sometimes I think I miss the moment, because I'm too busy trying to capture it on my phone etc. YMMV care you two.✌🏻

Guys, what really makes a channel on YouTube isn't just the footage but the people behind it, we watch because you guys are real, funny, honest, hardworking, and the kind of people we all wish we lived next door to, I am so sorry this happened to you but know we will always be with you and lost footage or not we will always tune in for each new vid.

A difficult lesson and one that all of us have been through! External hard drives and duplicate storage are a must! Like many of the comments say, chalk it up to a mistake you couldn't control and keep on keeping on! I lost thousands of photos in a computer transfer a year ago. I can tell you a year later, I still miss some of the photos and edits, but ultimately my work has progressed and improved and it doesn't hurt like it used to

It’s tough when these things happen, but you have not lost the most important things each other and your family.

[createandliveyourbestlife]

Hi, I am so sorry you have had such an issue, and IT challenges - I can totally relate 🥺😢.
As a thought after my ‘challenge’ I now how an Auto Backup set up on my Computer to my Cloud storage every evening at 7pm- makes me take a break 😂 and embrace a quiet lifestyle & give my mind a break.
Wishing you well and hope it all comes together for you, as I have thoroughly enjoyed your journey from day one. THANK YOU FOR SHARING 🥰🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺

[charliegordon]

Sorry to hear this. We could band together as a community and help by rewatching old episodes in order to generate lost income, couldn’t we? 🇨🇦

[jansoars]

I'm so relieved a storm didn't destroy your homestead and family. That being said, I'm really sorry for what you did lose. <3

[CV-tcin]

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I know we can all relate to the panic then scream of, at realizing the computer just ate our work.
Thank you for being such a bright spot in the world, even in the face of your trials. I appreciate the reprieve from the current global tumult.

[lachyyates]

I went looking for a new video because it seemed longer than usual since you guys uploaded and I felt like something was wrong. I'm sorry to hear but glad its nothing health related. Good lesson to ALWAYS have backups. You will bounce back, sending lots of love and light to the family. Thanks for the update.

[kaspju]

Having been in repair for many years, putting everything on an external drive right away is always the best. It also having a backup of that in case is also a good idea. I used to tell people tie it to a routine that you always do during a week. It saves a lot of heartache later!

[rudiniemeijer]

I feel with you. Losing even a small part of your digital work feels like a great irreplacable loss. Had that recently with losing a course I worked on for a month. You will get out of it stronger and with even better videos though. But man. Owing your income with creating digital products and be surprised by a malfunctioning computer. No fun.

[JordanRaskin]

I'm so sorry this happened to you. The loss of footage must be devastating... I'm sure the repair people suggest this, but just in case they didn't, set "time machine" to auto backup your internal drive to the external every hour (while in use). Time machine has saved me numerous times in more ways than one. Highly recommend it moving forward. Love you guys, you're both so inspiring.

[joylynnburkhardt]

Sorry you lost all your data! That really sucks!!! Thanks for catching us up on the build out .. but not to worry we will be right here waiting for you when you’re ready! Good luck! ♥️

[devonloerop]

Looks great guys!!! At least you're caught back up on footage now. I'm bummed about the electrical vid not being on here, I'm just about to dive into roughing in at my build.

[mariastellamelendez]

My iMac has been acting funky so I have been backing up everything in the cloud. Never a dull moment. You have accomplished so much and you’ve done a beautiful job.

[Leslie_AvalonAcresFarm]

I'm just glad you all are ok, I was worried! I'm so sorry for the lost footage, been there, it does suck!! I'll be here whatever you post, thanks for updating us!
