[Music] Gonna swing when it comes off that corner. Put it down, just let it go. Relax, it's not gonna go anywhere. That's a lot better there than a minute ago, swinging off the ladder. Fortunately, no accidents happened. A couple of times, some good close reminders to pay attention to what you're doing, because bad things happen really quick.

First time's always the hardest. First time's always ours, and once we started, the second time worked pretty good. Let it down, perfect. The third time worked great, so it's just a matter of paying attention to each time you do something, and then modifying it a little bit.

Here we go, floor is closing. Wow, it's all closed up! Wow, looks like a stage. Come on up! Wow, look at it! New York apartment size! Oh, this is great, Andy! Pretty solid, you should be happy with this. Sometimes you travel out and bush to remote areas, and it's a real uneasy, bad vibe kind of a place, but this hunting platform just has really good vibes to it.

Stop the last one! [Laughter] That's it right here. You can still see over the top of everything. Yeah, let me try sitting. What's really cool too is you can stretch out and sleep and not worry about rolling over.

We're putting the time and energy into something that's going to be really useful to us and comfortable for us to go back there and spend some time, and really utilize that piece of the country. That's gonna pay off big for us in the future. Chris is in the basement. All right, well, I'm happy! I am very happy! Tarzan made a new house! [Music]
