    We need more hard workers deep in their soul like you my friend. Not just a speaking YouTuber. You’re the real deal, not giving excuses and learning at the same time. Showing and leading your kids. Respect!
  • A wife would say you are a keeper. Your children will know they have a Dad who is capable right before their eyes. Bless you for showing a good work ethic and a methodical can do attitude.
  • I love that your daughter helps you, it's even better that she wants to ask questions and learn. She's gonna be the next DIY Creator!
  • looks amazing also =best parenting tip ever..."when your child wants to work, LET THEM !!! "
  • @efrancis19
    I love it when folks have their kids help with projects like this. That is a memory she will have for the rest of her life. Not to mention the sense of pride in accomplishment she will feel every time she shows off this patio to her friends. You are building a lifetime legacy here.
  • This gave me some very happy memories of working with my dad. My brothers never wanted to, but I did. What I learned from him has served me well all the days of my life. I used to impress my late husband because I knew so much about "man" stuff. I am 72.
  • I have never been so proud of a brother that I did not know! God bless you and your talent!
  • @alexandra109
    I love how you address that a project doesn’t have to be completed A-Z in one time. Real life. Sometimes you have to work in stages. It’s good to have a plan so that it looks complete while you wait for the next step in your process.
  • “When your child want to work, let them”…I totally agree Sir. Great job in on your backyard project and teaching your child. 👍🏼
  • @roscioocasio4385
    This is my second video of watching you bring a project to life. It's a pleasure watching you and your daughter work together. I did the same with my step-grandfather. Blessings! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤💐
  • Thanks for your videos, Glen. I'm on my own, so seeing someone else doing these things alone (except for the adorable hired help you have) is a real inspiration to give it a go.
  • Damn good job guy! You never fail with the diy projects. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
  • @calideb4437
    First, what a great job! It truly looks so inviting and beautiful. Working with your daughter reminded me of when we bought our home over 20 years ago. I have many pictures of my husband and our daughter (9 yrs) working together planting trees, shrubs & making memories. My husband died much too early (61) but working with his daughter in the backyard were special times for both of them & me too. Can't wait to see the final touches! I just found your channel for the 1st time today. You've given me some inspiration. Thank you!
  • Love the idea that you found a way to get around the rules. They'll always tell you what you can't do instead of what you can.
  • @gregggonz
    "When your child wants to work, let'm" - solid advice.
  • @dweb6916
    You have yourself the potential for a thriving business should you choose! Great work overall on all your projects.
  • @KA-qw5cv
    Great that your daughter is out helping with the project! She's off to a great start! Hat's off to you!
  • Bless him, it wouldn't be ideal to walk back n forth on top of mulch to get to your entertainment space but I understand he did the best he could. At least it looks nice!
