I do feel lucky to have a lift, several harnesses and tethers. I didn't make it this far in life to get hurt now.

What I don't like about the regen process is putting the hours on the tractor and revving the engine at high RPM's/burning fuel without actually doing any work. Recently, my tractor needed to regenerate the same day I needed to do some branch chipping. So I was able to accomplish two things at once. So far this year I have not had to flush the DPF.

Right! That was some organized crime right there!

Unfortunately for her there was a bigger bear growling in the kitchen. So she ran away.

It seems the babies knew to run up the hill and climb the tree when mom started breaking in the screen. We have decided to keep all the low windows closed at night now. Just in case I don't wake up in time to scare her off!

Rascals!

We did the sealed crawlspace and attic mostly for wildfire prevention, but it has the added bonus of energy efficiency since all plumbing and HVAC are now in conditioned space and not exposed to outside temperatures. In having no vents in the crawlspace or attic eaves, we are hoping fire embers remain outside when the winds blow them against the house. As for the cons, I need dehumidifiers in the crawlspace and Energy Recovery Ventilators to bring fresh air into the house because it is so airtight. The building materials and sealants we used to make the high efficiency house were also a lot more expensive than standard building materials. As for additional Pros, we can feel the benefits of the airtight house with rooftop insulation already even though we are still in the building process.

Thank you! I really prefer crawlspace over slab. If you ever have plumbing problems, it is so much easier to fix.

I am absolutely fine with you sharing the video on your social media channels.

@@HamiltonServices530 Thank you, Scott!

Thank you! I am really pleased with the way the roof is turning out.

Nice! I am guessing it was a fuse inside the microwave?

I couldn't get to the screw over the control panel to access the fuse. I had to pull my microwave out a little to access it. You were right when you told us to be careful because of how the microwave comes out. I barely caught it when it dropped. Lol

@@kdogg3003 Whoa! Glad you are alright and made the catch. Thankful I could help.

One day closer to done. It is definitely a slower process than I thought putting on this roof.

Thank you! The roof has become a lot more work than I expected but will be quite nice when we are done.

Thanks. I am going to try to put out some more "how to" videos on the vertical seam roof. There is not a lot out there on this brand/model.

And you too!

Thank you. We hope you are feeling better and looking forward to your next video.

I have used a lot of Aprilaire products over the years. This was the first time I ever had to send something back on warranty. The process was painless.

Unfortunately I don't know the typical install price since I did not get bids for the job. I purchased the 15 mil Stego Crawl barrier and tape from the Stego Industries website.

Me too.

I was hoping you would see this video. Thanks for letting me know.

It ended up costing me a little extra in wire but it is there for the future if the next owner (or renter) wants something different.. I should have noted the specific version of that tub and looked up the wiring diagram myself. Lesson learned.

Very true!

It is nice having friends with the right equipment!

You can help me fabricate the next batch! 😁

Thanks Dave. I do enjoy the shop work. Especially when it is pouring down rain like it was on that day.

I figured I will use the shears a whole bunch on the metal roof. And the 18v version was only a few bucks more than the corded one.

Great! Thank you. Good luck with your project.

That is what Kerri thought at first. Still no idea what it was. Matthew and I added more 2x8 joists under the deck so they are only 8 inches on center under the tub and then a 6x8 beam with posts down the centerline of the tub so now the joists only span about 5 feet unsupported.

@@HamiltonServices530 That should hold it…

Still have no idea?

The tongue and groove sides self-regulates the spacing when you tap them together. The straight cut ends need to be gapped 1/8". I hammered eight penny nails slightly into the joist to create the gap between the ends and pulled them out once the panel was secure. Good luck with your project. The Advantech saved my bacon when I couldn't get dried in completely during the winter. We used a broom to push a lot of water off the Advantech and it still held up. If I did it again and could afford it, I would buy the Advantech foaming glue instead of the Liquid Nails.

@@HamiltonServices530 super great tip Scott. Dont feel obligated but within the next couple weeks or so you will see me doing my floor on my youtube channel as well. Yeah and I am building a 1200 sq ft cabin myself and you can bet that my structure wont be dried in before the July monsoons hit here in July. My only big worry is that in some places my joists have a bit of a rise here and there. I may have to use self leveling cement on top of the advantech before I lay vinyl plank flooring. I will figure it out but biting my fingernails here as this is my first major construction project at the ripe age of 68 LOL.

This happened on March 30th in Northern California.

Hahaha! Me Too!

Hopefully they will be more interested in my garbage can which they rip open on a regular basis. 🐻

We have both been very achy after working all day at the build site and put off the expense for a long time. Finally decided to spend the money and figured we could take it with us when we move. Our local hardware store employees often say something to the affect of "We will see you again in a couple of hours." They are usually right! Thanks again for the mention and link. We picked up at least 5 subscribers immediately after that video went out. 👍👍

@@HamiltonServices530 Glad to help! Makes sense to be able to take it with you. Are you going to sell your current house when you move? Might add to the value to leave it, especially with the pro wiring job!

The plan is to keep the current house as a long term rental. We bought it when the interest rates were a lot lower.

@@HamiltonServices530 That makes sense. I was a landlord a few times, Check references and be mean!

Hahaha! I guess they were checking to see if it was hooked up. Apparently news travels fast in the bear world.

You're welcome. Good luck with your project.

The snowblowers are nice indeed. Right now my tractor is at our house build site. I have wanted to get a blower for it but need the money for construction.

I will have to try the rotate again without the horizontal stabilizer on. I think that is why it didn't flow perfectly around.

@@HamiltonServices530It was fun to watch. At first I was worried you flipped!

@@woodwaker1 Hahahahaha!

Now that I think about it, my neighbor leaves during every big storm! Guess I haven't learned yet? 🤪

It is a 2x6 tongue and groove with a V-groove on one side. By the time the board was kiln dried and milled, they came out slightly under 1-1/2 inches thick. I needed the 2x6 T&G for the three foot span between the heavy timber rafters.

It had been so long since I had flown the drone, I was a little rusty at the controls.

Thanks for checking out my drone video. You have amazing drone videos.

The unpopulated coastal and mountain areas are the best things California has to offer right now. Much of the state, the cost of living and it's regulations are undesirable.

@woodwaker1 my employer is still in one of those big coastal cities, and I don't enjoy it when I have to work "down the hill". Coming home is the reward. It took us 49 years to get out of the city. To live where people vacation was a very deliberate and determined plan of action. And as you know, we're not finished. We truly feel blessed to reside in our little corner of the wilds.

@@HamiltonServices530We used to love going to CA, spent time in Yosemite, almost got to the the top of half dome. Went to wine country and Muir Natl. got to stay in Susanville when we went to Lassen. This was some time ago and even then the big cities were in decline. Now it is heart breaking to see what San Francisco has turned into. Happy to see your little world and hope you can keep it that way.

We love the blanket of snow in moderation of course . Very few snow storms this year. Much more rain.

I have wanted to get a battery powered blower or power shovel for the deck. It would make it so much easier.

Heated and air conditioned cab is so nice on a tractor. My next one will have a cab for sure. I didn't want to spend the money for a cab when I bought my tractor. In fact, I only have a couple more months of payments and then it will truly be mine. 👍

That was lucky! If your pump has a float switch, you can wire either the red wire (24v to the thermostat) or the yellow wire (A/C) through the pump. If the pump ever fails or is not plugged in, the float switch will disconnect and shut off the unit or A/C before the pump overflows.
