Vaulted Ceiling to 2nd Floor Addotion

On this- again it was divided into 2 separate posts, one the Youtube vid, the other had been turned into the thumbnail carousel w/vid at end- i'd posted 7 posts each the first nite (was very late getting it in as well but by the time I went to post more the next day, the vid post was double the other, so I just continued posting the vid post only- between the two it became the most popular so far- its only 2 1/2 days old and already has 14,318 people reached and 1,578 engagements--all stats plus the postings below this. Not to mention, its gotten the most youtube views of any vids I've made so far-following in next post.

More Blues

My next SWM Music Video is More Blues by Pink Floyd. I used my own fractal art this time to make the video-and some fun special efx on my video builder to make it 1969 Pink Floyd psychedelic.

House of 1000 Devils From Hell

Here's my 4th SWM Music Video-it's a video tribute to Rob Zombie's horror trilogy: House of 1000 Corpses, The (even better) Devil's Rejects, and the soon-to-be-released 3 From Hell. gain made from JPEG's and GIFs online set to the Allman Brother's Midnight Rider (the opening song in the Devil's Rejects. I used the alternative version of the song though recorded the same time as the original but never got released on the first album, not until it's re-release in 2015).

Little Deuce Coupe

This 3rd SWM Music Video was made at the same time I did JULY HEAT from the last post-with the July heatwave on, the Beachboys were the best music to be played and kept runnin' thru my head (yea even after making the vid) and these cars are the definition of summer!

July Heat

Heres another double post off one vid- the Youtube video post and also the thumbnail slideshow b4 the vid-again the video posting gave the better result.

DIRECTLY BELOW THIS IS THE VID POST AND RESULTS (the thumbnail post and results below this set)

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Now the thumbnail post and results:

Here's my second SWM Music Video- set to Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald- I still remember having breakfast that next morning and hearing it on the radio- the news of the disaster that is.

Werewolf Baby! Music by Rob Zombie, Video put together by me w/ JPG's and GIF's online. IT's the first YouTube Music Video I made, the beginning of SWM Music Videos. See what you think, then Like Comment and Subscribe! as they say...

2 DIFFERENT POSTS FROM ONE VIDEO

This cool little video was made with my website builder's new video-making tool. I posteed twice because it actually posted differently when I did direct and paste from YT postings- so wha I did was post hlf my groups w/the plain video post, and half with the picture carousel, with the video link as last frame. Here's the video only post first so you can check the video out-its short but cool, I think-great tune too-- this builder comes with its own soundtracks. So, without further delay:

Hope you liked the vid- now the next post- this came out as a slideshow of each individual pic in the slideshow, then the last frame was a link to the video (with the thumbnail showing the profile pic of the FB page I posted it from):

Basement Bar, TV and Gameroom

I haven't posted this yet-another from my new video slideshow maker, with another great classic from Paul Rogers and Bad Co., uploaded on YouTube:

I'm still trying to find the right way to get correct stats on the new vids- as they post differently than the ones i made using FB video slideshow thingy- for some reason I can't get a full accurate counting with them...but heres my 2nd video from my new vid maker-uploaded onto YouTube and posted, with full Bad Co tune as soundtrack.

Ground Floor Deck... YouTube version

My first video uploaded onto YouTube. I didn't repost-3rd time in a month for this same job would be redundant and ruin some good deck pics for the future-but here it is in it's YT format.

Ground Floor Deck Rebuild (With Pergola)

BE SURE YOUR VOLUME IS UP- 1st of All New Soundtracks! This one os called:
Be Sure My Grave Is Kept Clean!

The above video was posted mid-June and , considering the last posting I did was he same, but shorter, version of the same job, it didn't have an abundance of responses. Thing is, it was the first video I made with the new video slideshow maker I'm using. It lets me create longer vids, with a bunch of new effects I can use, and using mp3 formats for tunes, and I can save the videos in almost any format needed for uploading (incl. YouTube) (The next posting is also going to be this video, but after I uploaded to YouTube, the first of my new YouTube playlist and from my channel.)

Thank you

First off, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all who have viewed my BLOG and the videos and postings I've put on it, if any... (past visitors I mean, not previous postings, I know that part's correct). Anyway, it was brought to my attention by someone just last night that I've been blogging every cu... I mean every ONE (I can't use a proper 'quote unquote' here) and, although the comment was supposed to be sarcastically negative about me communicating or conversating to everyone online instead of working (which I don't as anyone who KNOWS me knows), it got me thinking... since this is the only BLOG I have (at present) I actually haven't been doing much of it on here, just the odd commentary on the postings I've put on. So, in addition to posting my video and photo ads, I 'll be adding more commentary on SWM Builders and Remodelers itself as well what new things we-I-am doing (such as the new video builders I'm using, new work we want to feature and so on). And I am in the process of setting up another blog which I shall use for more personal (as in not work related, not anything more than that) musings (rantings and ravings most probably)... I think. If I do, the link will be provided here. Until then, thank you all for visiting, and please leave messages and thoughts on what I have done so far. If you want. Enjoy your stay and I look forward to hearing from all you who visit.
