  1. Indeed.

  2. That's what I call "Irish stew" or just "bachelor stew." I'm making some, right now, with the remains of a roast and whatever's on hand.

  3. 150 years ago, you could die of a small cut.

  4. The people who watch reality tv come back for the drama. Most people prefer just seeing people getting along with each other, more interested in what they're building than in whose feelings are going to be hurt, this week.

  5. That seemed to be a little injected drama, to me, because when he said that, the trees in the background still had all their leaves. Maybe they were worried about time because they're only able to do this on weekends, but that piece of it didn't ring true, to me, although I imagine mixing the cobb wouldn't be very much fun if it's down in the 30s or 40s.

  6. I'd probably just stir it with a spoon.

  7. Maybe 18 inches wasn't on accident or by mistake. The thicker you make the hearth, the longer it'll put off heat after the fire dies down. I think there's at least a chance that it seemed impractical to follow the instructions because you're not thinking that way. Smaller, hotter fires may've been the goal, with as much trapped heat as possible. I'm not near as crafty as y'all, which makes it really easy 4 me to be critical. I'd fail from the first notched pole to the last.

  8. Doesn't appear to be a very snug cabin. The Franklin Stove was a thing as early as the 18th Century, so it wouldn't be an anachronism.

  9. Many hands make light work. Once that place is built, I imagine the livin' is pretty easy for that crew.

  10.  @ststst981  Yes. And they inject a lot of unnecessary drama, because that's what the losers who watch reality t.v. want to see. They want soap opera. These guys are all having a good time, outdoors.
