Chipmunk builders in love video

This video started out as a serious summary of Monday morning's work on the homemade storage building.  Then I sped it up so you wouldn't be sitting around waiting for something to happen.  And suddenly the chipmunk noises made me laugh.

Mark watched it and said something along the lines of, "That's nice, dear."  I think I may just have an odd sense of humor....  Hope at least a few of you get a kick out of it. :-)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Like I said in the last comment, my voice never sounds quite the way I imagined it once I get on video. :-)

Cute! It looks like the building is coming along a faster clip now.

Finally! It's amazing how temperatures above freezing will speed along outdoors projects. :-)

That was a good chuckle. I like the windows and that looks like a cool loft. Isn't building therapeutic. Can't wait to see it finished. Is this your bath house or just the office/storage? I think you had said earlier that there is nothing quite like having a bath outside. It's on my to-do list when we move to the country. :) Happy building.

We were originally thinking bathhouse, but then we changed our minds. Now we're thinking Mark's office and workspace, and then use the room that's opened up in the trailer to turn into a bathing area (with new windows.) Then probably a second bathing area outside for balmy summer days... :-)
