last week we painted the interior, got a
start on the ceiling, and installed the
skylight on Shae's earthbag bedroom
[music]
with
the base paint done, Shae's planning out
what artwork she'd like to do for her
walls
all right Shay so what's on the agenda
I've got a couple different designs that
I want on my wall
I think I'm gonna put
one here
I think this is the one I'm
gonna put there
it's these, kind of these
two fish swimming in a light bulb so I'm
excited to put that up and then I
was thinking to have one that we got a
lot of suggestions for, to do the
chalkboard paint, I could do a circle
here
since this is going to be my
workspace
to be a place to write things out and
- I don't know I just think it would be kind of cool
yeah, right there
that's what it is?
yeah
maybe smaller, and put it here
you have a light coming down from here
put it in the center of the circle, where do you want the center of the circle to be?
okay, there you go
a circle there
same size?
I want it a little smaller
okay
[music]
thank you
got to be kidding me, we're so close
you
kidding me - were like only a foot off
we're putting in the electrical wire
here and we came up about a foot short
which really is a bummer
cut the corner real quick
really?
no
dad is hopefully gonna come up with a
solution that doesn't require us to dig
another trench
I like that better than digging a big, old hole
me too
I'm here
hey Buddy
[music]
it's quick and easy once you get a hang of it
[music]
looks nice
we're gonna run out
though
and we'll have to go to the store
and just hope by some miracle, we can get
something closely related to this color
you can span sections like this
where a board comes out but it only
reaches to here
you can do a bunch of
them because the next one you put on
will actually hold that one in place
it helps to use the little pieces
that
you can't always use
we have an
angle like this, right, the board's come
up to it
you could always measure
this and cut it off this end but it's
actually easier if you just place
your hand like this, right at that corner
and then just follow it back like that
and you know now when you cut along that
line, that's created, that's the right angle
and now you can see the perfect edge but
we're gonna put trim here
those look great, don't they?
yeah
[music]
even though it's wooden flooring
we're
mostly doing this because if the earth
never changes its gravity and everyone
starts floating up, then we'll have a
a floor to walk on
[music]
spectators, please step back about four feet
flying shovels and flying people coming by
we took trip down to Angel Fire, New
Mexico to go shovel racing this year
I
took a trip down to go watch them shovel
race
our friend Ellie, got us all set
up
she was able to actually get some
really good deals up there - she's
working out there and she raced with us
as well
she was actually one who
originally got us into it
56 miles an hour
she did the best so far
wow
it was a lot of fun
I think we both did really well
I was actually very pleased
you guys look like
bosses coming down that hill
we had
good
sponsors MyLittleHomestead.com
nice form
cheer him on
good - a
form?
form
thank you
you're welcome
we had good form
[music]
to the finish line!
getting a little sidways!
[music]
57 miles an hour
I think I was 53 but I'm not sure yet
53 miles per hour on a shovel
I hope it was higher
don't know your scores until a little
bit later
the other lady that was racing
was bragging up like she won
drum roll
it was so exciting
Ellie!
[cheering]
and it's like, in yo face
in a nice way
she did so good
we're so proud of her
she got a nice plaque
if you'd had competed with
the women you would of won?
no
I would have lost that by about 2 thousands of a second because that's how much quicker
she was then me
I'm not even gonna say
what I was
you guys did good
you did good
you guys did really good
you placed in the top ten out of
30 people
badda Bing, badda boom, winner
congratulations Ellie
thank you
for a wonderful trip and winning because
that was fun - I don't know how it was for
you, but I was really excited
highlight of the trip
it definitely was
[music]
how you doing Shae?
I'm thinking
[music]
this is
the sketch
[music]
[music]
the wire was not long enough so Gary
came up with this idea
to do
this in steps which is kind of nice
because we have a nice little woodshed
here and we don't have a light in here
so what we're gonna do is we're gonna
put a light in here, offers us the
ability to come up short right to the
light and then from the light I can go
right in with another piece of wire
good
idea Gar
thanks
[music]
[music]
how much do you think a
gallon of scorpion venom is worth?
a million or so?
a hundred thousand
thirty
nine million dollars for one gallon of
scorpion venom
what do they do with it?
it's used in the medical industry
I wonder how they get it out
very carefully
if you have a gallon of
scorpion venom just sitting around, might
want to consider selling that
once you
get past this pole and you go to this
little section here, we're going to use
the other color because you won't be
able to tell if there's a color
difference between the two of them
this
doesn't actually look like -
I mean the
color difference is so small
what I'm curious about, if this is here
I don't think
you would ever notice it
we got to hope we have enough
I'm not sure if this
is gonna work
it looked like a lot but
once we separated out all the boards
that we can use and the boards that we
cannot use
yeah I don't think it's gonna
work
I don't think we dared chance it
if we come up short with these guys, we're
gonna have to color match this and that
it's gonna be
hard to have to color match one but have
to color match two
alright Bry let's
take these back
all right
[music]
we got mom out on the slopes with us
which we were super excited about
hey
I'm so excited that mom's with us
I know
we get this ski with mom
she's got the best form
she was showing
us all up
we watch her go down these really, really
steep hills and she really looks like
she's been doing that for years
these are way shorter than I remember
when I was young
they looks like ski skates
and the guy asked me if I wanted poles
or not which is odd that it would be
even optional
hopefully, it'll all come
back to me after 30 years
oh yeah
if we got to the top, it will be the easiest way
okay, let's do that
just do what you think, I'll follow
you watch, she's going to outdo us
[music]
hey all right
how'd it go?
I feel a little nervous up there
pole or no pole?
definitely ski pole
so are we going again or what?
yeah yeah
I didn't know what you guys were doing
I thought you were tired or something
she took her love of picture and video taking with her
which is fine actually
I was so worried
really worried?
yeah she's like yeah, so it's my third
run down in 30 years, I'm gonna film this
time so I'm gonna be skiing along
filming
it's like, you sure you don't want a little more
time to warm-up?
no, she was a boss the
second she got on that ice
It's like three
runs, we're good
I can go down the
mountain straight
she was beating Shae down by the time we were all done
I know
she was catching up
with me and I'm like alright, we're done
we had a wonderful trip
it was a lot of fun
congratulations to Ellie again and thank you
so much for taking care of us and
putting the trip together
really
appreciate it
was a lot of fun
[music]
gettin tired?
yeah, but I'm ready to go
down again
I'll go down as many times as
need be
I'm having a blast with you guys
I'm having fun
it's so fun
[music]
[music]
it looks a moon
I
want to thank you for all of the
comments for suggestions for the paint on
my walls
this is chalkboard paint
[music]
so you and Dad were able to find the right
stuff?
I hope so Bryson
let's take a look
very delicately
duh duh duh
it's the same
color
so there is hope
yes
[music]
all right got the trim here to go around
the upper part and we're not sure
exactly how we're going to attach it
yet but we'll have to figure that out
next week
[music]
after we finished the bedroom, we'll be
working on an earthbag kitchen and
bathroom so stay tuned for that

Ellie win
