Hey, this is Bry with a Weekend Edition. This is the front of the house. I'm going to walk you back to the back part of our property where we're going to build that outdoor office that's going to be basically a little mini version of this. So I just love the way this, the front of the house comes together with that yellow door and the blue and the white roof, kind of optimized blue, etc. Very exciting. We've got a water filtration system going up there that is going to be an old school rustic country outhouse that's going to store the water filtration system. For some reason there's a tent on this side of the house. That's too funny. What's up chickens? So this morning's project what's up guys was the kids and I chicken crossing. The kids and I carved out the path to the new office. So we cruise back here. The trail kind of goes back away. The pond that used to be a pond is now a puddle is over there. Cruise on over here. So I kind of went around the property looking for what would be a cool place to work outdoors. Obviously I want to be outdoors as much as I can and kind of cruise back here and I think I found the perfect spot. So I just want to show you the before cuz the contractor builder is officially on. He's going to start next week. It's very exciting. All right, so then we're going back there. Back of the house back there. Here we go. Continuing. I was told you guys like to get out of the office. This is why I thought this would be a fun idea. All right, so this is the trail. Take it for granted, but Emerson did some great sawing and working to make this thing unobstructed. Cruise back here. I kind of like the little meandering path. Then you arrive at boom. That little. It's gonna be just a 12 by 12 concrete slab. The tree's amazing. There's a creek that kind of runs back there. Should be pretty cool. And like I said, we're gonna have fun with it. The front there. If you imagine like a 12 foot by 12 foot square, you're gonna come around here and then this is gonna be kind of the entrance. We're gonna put that yellow door right there. It's just gonna stand. There's gonna be two pillars on the side. That yellow door is gonna stand like right here and then the desk is gonna be right here. And then there's gonna be a glass like kind. What do you call it dry erase board kind of hanging suspended from the roof right here. Little things. Little things. I'm excited. In other news. So this is where I'm going to be doing the videos. Hopefully within the next, I don't know, month, if not the next couple of weeks. We'll see how it goes. In other news, slept pretty well last night. Was up late. Took me a while to get my 20,000 steps. 20,000 steps is some work, folks. 15,000 steps in today. Banged out my 220, 200, 2000 meters of rowing. The average now is 18,940. That will be over 20,000 within. What do I got? I don't know, four days or so? Yeah. Appreciate all your kind words and support. We're gonna make this one short. Let's do this. Have a great weekend. See ya.
