My husband is a faithful viewer. As a result I watch often, too. Thought for the lake since you enjoy building trestles. Build a low fishing pier for families to fish from. It can lead out to a wide expanse with a refreshment stand/hamburger stand/bait shop. We used to frequent one with our boys at the beach. Glad you are enjoying your retirement!
Doug and I enjoy watching Ken’s skillful craftsmanship. His calm demeanor is enjoyable to watch as he builds all of these amazing buildings. I feel like I’ve learned a lot of important things from his show. Thank you so much, Bess
