This channel is about daily activities that go on in and around our camp on a lake in a remote part of central Nova Scotia.
Being sort of isolated these activities include trying to be as self sufficient as my wife and I can be. We make, create, re-use, re-purpose as much as we can. Activities will include such things as: carpentry, wood work, mechanical repairs and maintenance, plumbing, gardening, canning, home crafts, tractor work, yard work, water-born activities, ATV riding, and generally anything that we can tackle in the great outdoors.

Prepping the Bench for drawers
The workbench is back in place. So now it's time to start serious work on the re-organization of it!!
I start but removing the vertical slider hardware of the under bench storage. More tearing apart. Then I remove the bottom stringer to reorient it to allow for more space under it for the broom to fit better when sweeping up!! Believe it or not, this was a main motivator for me to redo the bench!!
Then I spend a lot of time coming up with a kind of plan for the use of the under bench storage area. I decide to make it all drawers. So I take some time framing the bench for drawers openings.
In the end I have room for 16 drawers!! LOL I am some excited about all this storage!
Have a look at let me know if you think this is too many drawers. I bet you don't think so!! LOL
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video. Please 'thumbs up' me and leave me some comments. And if you haven't done so already, please consider 'subscribing' to my channel. It sure helps my videos get noticed and my channel grow.
I hope you all have a great week.

A Simple Quick Repair
Переглядів 4147 годин тому
Simple, quick jobs. Do they even exist? The belt on my Husqvarna YTH21K42 ride on mower is always coming off the drive pulley. What a pain this is so I want to try and fix it. I did come checking and figured maybe the belt was too long. The Husqvarna manual doesn't show a length for the belt, but the part number matches a belt that was 101.4 inches long so I ordered that belt. But this is the b...
Starting to Put the Pieces Back Together

All the retro fit work is complete so now it's time to start putting thing back together!!! I have a dilemma though. I'm thinking I'd like to cut 3 feet of the end of the bench and then put my computer table in the corner. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should do this. I ended up putting the computer table in the corner to see how it would look. To be honest I wasn't sold on the idea. But...

Sheathing the Workshop

A big step in the reno of the shop. Today I put the sheathing up!! A lot of work has gone into this project so far. And today we'll start to see some big changes. The sheathing going on the walls always makes for a dramatic change in the looks of things!! Some of the sheets went up as full sheets, but a few I had to cut to fit. That means I needed a workspace and space is at a premium in the sh...

The weather has been some nice the last while so let's do a project outside for a change!!! The grass is always growing and it's at the point now where if I don't mow it soon, I'll need a tedder and a bailer!! So I get the Husqvarna, which is working great after the repairs, and go mow the lawn. I start at the garden. There is still lots of damage around the garden from Fiona that I haven't cle...
Let's Do Some Insulating

The wall is stripped and it's time to insulate!! But before I can do that I need to figure out how I can get some insulation behind the electrical panel and OSB. I come up with a plan and it seems to have worked out OK. Then I finish insulating the rest of the wall. But insulation is not complete without vapor barrier. So I staple up some vapor barrier and then tape all the seams and prepare th...

Well it's time to fish or cut bait!! I've decided to finish insulating the shop!! So in this video the first thing I need to do is move the long 16 foot workbench. It's covered with 'stuff' from the mechanical side of the shop that I haven't cleaned up yet. So I have to clear the bench. That means I need to find a place to stash all this 'stuff' that is on the bench!! Then I have to figure out ...

We all have repairs that need to get done. But sometimes the repairs are not always needed!! Have a look and see how I think the battery on the Estate Car is no good and then find out it might not be bad.

Estate Car Hydro-locked

I've been dealing with my small engines being hydro-locked the last while. Now the Estate Car has fallen victim!! I was lucky because it was just hydro-locked and nothing more serious than than.

Well I'm continuing with the Fuel Dolly Build. In part 2 I install some wheels!! I kind of have a vision of what I want this dolly to look like, but to get to that point there are a lot of grey ad fuzzy areas!! Like for example how to mount wheels. I want the dolly to be mobile and able to get anywhere on the property with minimum effort on my behalf, so big wheels would probably be better than...

No one is going to recognize these place as a "shop" once you're completed the whole thing! lol My dad told me a joke many a time, as he'd always forgot that he told me already...but anyway, one of them "dad" jokes I guess...he'd tell me that somewhere he fell ill with a furniture disease, where the effects are when your chest falls in to your drawers! LOL You're going to have a whole lot of drawers when you're finished...but dad always related it to the little tummy he had developed. Hope you and Nannie are able to enjoy a lovely weekend...a little bit of rain for tomorrow I hear, but maybe some sun on Sunday too!
Wow you made major changes to your plans! A lot of workbefore it will finished and you can get everything put away.
Shop is looking awesome Mike. Much brighter and definitely more user friendly. Dad's shop has lots of drawers and seems more useful than regular cupboards. Hope you and Nannie are well, have an awesome weekend! 🍁😊👍🚜
That bench is going to be really nice. Your shop is getting pretty fancy. I'm thinking you need to come down and reorganize mine. I hope all is well with everyone and as always I'll be praying for you guys and I'll see you on the next one.
How's she goin'? Thanks again for your continued prayers Ronnie. They are much appreciated!! I should have enough drawers in the bench eh!! LOL Re-organizing a shop is a big job, as I'm finding out!! It's kind of fun though so you should give it a try and see what you think!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
You put thought into it mike, its going to be nice and practical
How's she goin'? Thanks Jason. I did spend a lot of head scratching time to come up with this layout! I just hope it translates into real world practicality!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Good one Mike. It’s coming along. Nannie and you have a great weekend. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
How's she goin'? Thanks Noel!! Lots of drawers for sure!! I hope you folks have a great week end too. Looks like we might get some rain too!! Take 'er easy!!
Sure sounds like some rain for sure Mike. 👋
Looks like you have a great plan! Going to be nice when you get done! We are always praying for you and Nannie 🙏🙏🙏
How's she goin'? I want to thank you again Mike for your continued prayers for Nannie. They are important and mean a lot to both of us!! I have made lots of provision for drawers eh!! I hope it all works out!! Take care and God Bless you!!
Husqvarna has been doing that for years I've had belts 4" too long, they would tell me I gave them the number wrong. Not possible, I went to tech. school for this. Good video.
How's she goin'? Thanks a lot for dropping by the channel!! The part number in the Husqvarna manual doesn't show a length, but I' m sure the length should be 100 inches. It was interesting to hear you say Husqvarna does this often. I have to say, the quality of Husqvarna has been going downhill the last few years in my opinion. Thanks a lot for your comment. Take 'er easy!!
Hello Grampie. A half inch difference in a belt size can make a big difference. The way I see it you should be fine now. Good job and have a great day 🙏🔧👍
How's she goin'? That's a fact Artie. The first belt, the long one, was the part number listed but I really think it's a mistake, the belt should only be 100 inches long. And the difference is night and day in the operation! Thanks for being here buddy!! Take 'er easy!!
Great video Mike,,,, you got there in the end,,, nothing is simple in grampies workshop 🤣🤣🤣
Good day eh!! That's a fact. A 5 minute job of changing the belt turned into a 45 minute job of finding out why the blades got loose and making a repair!! And the worst part was, this made me late for supper!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
That is a big job to do by yourself but it sure feels good when it is done. I like your cleat idea cause it makes it safer and you don't have to rush fitting up the sheet. Looks good Mike. Stevo
How's she goin'? Thanks Steve. I don't mind working by myself and to do so I have to come up with these 'helper' ideas. The cleats are a prime example. Once I lifted the sheet up in place, it was pretty easy after that to position it exactly where I wanted it with the wedges and screw it to the studs!! Have a great week. Take 'er easy!!
Nice work Mike, got the mower back up and going in record time
How's she goin'? Thanks Rusty!! I was planning on taking 5 minutes to change the belt and have at 'er, and an hour later I was able to get the blades resecured and then change the belt. Isn't that always what happens with the 'quick' jobs? LOL Take 'er easy!!
You’ll soon have that thing working perfectly…just in time for winter 😁 👍
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha!! There can't be too much else that can go wrong with this machine eh!! LOL I thought changing the belt would only take 5 minutes. Then I found the loose blade bolt, then I found the loose blades and before ya know it I was up to my oxters in a full on repair job!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Another great and successful repair Mike........you figured it out and sometimes you have to try and revisit the job and that's what you did here and it paid off..........good job..........have a great week.
How's she goin'? In the end I was glad I changed the belt because I found these too other issues with the deck, but man a simple job of changing the belt morphed into an hours job fixing the tractor!! And the worst part is, I was late for supper!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How come the grass always looks best in the fall? My lawn is about as green and lush as it's ever been and yours is looking pretty healthy too
How's she goin'? It might be because everything else is starting to die and go dormant for winter. But also my septic field is out front and the grass really likes all the nitrogen from the septic field!!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Sometimes you have to revisit your repairs and this one paid off nice 👍
How's she goin'? That's a fact eh!! I thought I had the blade bolt on good and tight and it was almost falling out, then I found the blades loose on the spindles again. I guess it was a good thing I had to change the belt!! LOL Thanks for tuning in Bill. Take 'er easy!!
It is odd how Nannie never kept breaking the lawn tractor when she used it 🙂 I think your modification to make the blades tight should make a lot of difference, great job. It looked like the shorter belt made a huge difference too. We have huge problems with part numbers on our old equipment but I think that is because the original parts are no longer available
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha!! You have a good point there Joseph!! Nannie must be a better operator than me!! LOL Part numbers are one thing, but a good part description goes a long way in making sure the replacement part is correct eh!! I really liked this comment!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Hi Mike, good to see you got that sorted out, mower goes well 👌👍
How's she goin'? Thanks Nev. A quick job of changing the belt turned into an hour long job of finding out what was up with the loose blades!! LOL It's all good now though. Take 'er easy!!
Awesome eh!😁
How's she goin'? Thanks buddy! A quick belt change eh - yeah right. An hour later the deck was off and the blades were loose and supper was late!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop 😁
Good evening Mike. There's always something to fix. You're back up and running, nice easy quick fix. Take care!
Hello there Paul! Thanks. Yup a 'quick' fix, but I started out wanting to do a 5 minute belt change and it morphed into this 'removing the deck and repairing loose blades' job pretty quick!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
I love 5 minute jobs. I’ve done some that have taken two days. 😢You made it look easy ( who came in, off camera to do the work?) Nice fix and fast. More time to pet squirrels ❤
How's she goin'? I laughed when you said some 5 minute jobs have taken you 2 days!! LOL That's about the size of it eh!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Back in business Mike. Have a great week. It is getting chilly
How's she goin'? I'm looking forward to the cooler weather. Frost in the forecast tonight. Almost time to get the winter gear ready eh!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Bonsoir Mon Ami, Maintenance is the VITAL FACTOR and You Are Very Good At It Sir 👌😇👍Be Well Mon Ami Cheers 🍻🍻
Comment ca va mon ami? Dave I set out to do a 5 minute job of changing the belt and it turned into this major job of repairing the loose blades!! Isn't that always what happens!! LOL A la prochaine!!
Glad it was simple and quick. My mower screeches when I engage the blades but then instantly goes away once the blades are running. Not the belts, tho - I changed them, and that shriek continues! I've got to look into it some more. Not sure my comments are getting through, but I've been watching and commenting right along. I hope you and Nannie are doing well. Thanks for continuing to share your escapades. 👍
How's she goin'? Thanks for the comment Steve. I usually check in UA-cam Studio to respond to comments and this one wasn't there. But I was just playing my video again and saw your comment. Not too sure why they don't show up but I'm some glad I found it!! The screech coming from your deck might be spindle related if it isn't the belt. Just sayin'!! Thanks a lot for your support of the channel Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop Well, thanks for the advice! I'll check the spindles.
Always something needs fixing . Looks like that shorter belt did the trick. It hasn't been very cool down here in southeast Oklahoma and it looks like it's going to be an unusually warm start to October. Continuing prayers for you and Nannie and I'll see you on the next one.
How's she goin'? Thanks for your continued prayers for Nannie Ronnie!! We had a very dry and warm September around here, but now the weather is starting to feel more like the fall. We're supposed to get frost tonight. We had frost twice already. The first on was the last week of September, so the cold weather isn't far away and if you ask me, I'm OK with that!! LOL Take care!!!
Once again I find myself taking notes, good job Mike. All the best bud, stay safe. 👍🌴🍁😊
How's she goin'? Thanks Mark!! It a simple case of the belt being too long!! Trouble is, how do you know. The Husqvarna manual only listed a part number and no length. But now I know the length is 100 inches!! LOL I hope your leg is healing well for ya. Take care!!
Parts is always an issue it seems like, aftermarket parts is a complete coin toss! Sometimes you win sometimes you loose! A little diagnosing goes a long way! Take care Mike✌
How's she goin"? That's a fact Marc!! The Husqvarna manual didn't list the length of the belt, but I'm sure it should say 100 inches as this belt fits and works great! Take 'er easy!!
It turns out having to take the deck off to put the belt on was a good thing so you could fix the loose blades. I hope this belt works much better for you.
The new belt is a good fit. I guess maybe the tractor has lost weight and I needed to hitch up it's belt a notch or two!! LOL Love ya!!
Glad you got it fixed buddy that’s awesome take care have a great week
Hello there Tom. Well Tom this 5 minute job I set out to tackle before supper turned into an hours repair and supper was late! LOL Isn't that the way things go though. Thanks for the visit tonight. Take 'er easy!!
Those belts will get ya everytime. Hello to all at the lake!!!!!!!
How's she goin"? Great to see you commenting on here Bruce. I miss your videos buddy. I hope you are doing well. The summer is over, so how was the garden harvest? It's was strange that these two after market belts were listed as replacements for the Husqvarna part number, but one was 1 and 1/2 inches shorter!! Go figure eh! Thanks for stopping by. Take 'er easy!!
"Simple" and "quick" seems to be two words that have been lost in my vocabulary! lol Did you get all them trees planted on Sunday? I'd say if the best doesn't work, better try a pair of suspenders! LOL Sorry, couldn't help myself as I've had to more over to suspenders myself! Hope your week is starting off marvelously!!
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! Well Bruce the belt worked great so I don't need suspenders yet!! LOL We did get all the trees planted. Our sons showed up with the grand kids and they planted all 250 of the little black spruce seedlings. Now I just hope at least half of them take!! LOL Woof Woof Otis and take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop Wonderful! The grand kids will especially remember those trees for years to come!!
@@wendingourway That's what I told them. I said, you will enjoy these trees in 40 years!! LOL
Hi Mike. Nice fix! Having to grind down the shaft the blades go on sure seems strange. 🤔 It doesn't take much of a difference in length for a belt to be useless. Is the belt tensioner working properly? On my mower, the tensioner is really pushing on that belt. Take care!
How's she goin'? That's a good point Brian, but the tensioner is working good, as far as I could tell. Lots of tension on the belt. In the Husqvarna manual, it only listed the part number and didn't give a length. So when I went on Amazon, I found this belt that matched the part number and it said it was 101.4 inches long. I tried to measure the original belt but it was pretty stretched and damaged so that didn't work too good. I got the 101.4 inch belt and this is the one that kept coming off. Then when I searched Amazon again a few weeks ago, I found this belt that matched the Husqvarna part number and it said it was only 100 inches long. So there ya go. I think the original belt should be 100" long and now I have that one installed. It should be good now, but we'll see I guess. Griding down the stub shafts on the spindles I think was needed because the blades I bought were cheap ones and they weren't as thick as the originals. Take 'er easy and I hope you're over the 'man cold'!! LOL
@@GrampiesWorkshop thanks! 100% now. Sometimes we just have to do what it takes to make thins work!👍
I use lock washer on my deck I had the same problem and I use a sir or cordless 3/8 impact to tighten them and take them off
How's she goin'? A lock washer won't work in this case Bob. The spindle shaft was too long, or the blade too thin, and so the washer would just come up against the shaft and not hold the blade tight. That's what was going on here. On the old blades I took off last spring had Belleville washers on them. They worked as it pressed against the blade and not the shaft. Thanks for the comment though. Take care!!
Informative video Mike well done
How's she goin'? Thanks Bob. This was one of those 5 minute jobs that took over an hour!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Good evening Mike, blades tightened up, new belt.. Good to go👍Beautiful fall day. Cool but great for working. Have a great week, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
How's she goin'? You sure won't get any complaints from me about the weather this time of year Ben. This is the best if you ask me. I am even looking forward to the snow, but I need to get the shop cleared up a bit first so I can get the winter gear ready!! LOL I hope you have a good week buddy. Take 'er easy!!
Hey Mike. In cases like this I am a fan of Red Locktite. Having to heat them up with a Mapp torch is fine as no Damage to the rest of the deck will happen.Just have a wet cloth handy so as not to damage the seals in the bearings. The blade iself will act as a sink. V-belts are not the greatest way to get power transmission. Problem here is the belt has to switch planes. It will then only track well on one plane or the other. It would be great if they use a drive shaft. They prefer to have an angle to them so all 4 bearings/cups are being used. Only problem there is they will last far longer and not need more repairs and their asociated parts eh. Well bud you may be seeing more wear and tear but you know the know and have the tools to make it happen for a good long time yet. Take care my old friend. Hugs for Nannie J of course.
How's she goin'? Well Dean when I put the blades on last spring I put 'Never Seize' on them because I have had them rust and seize up. And this is what happens, it was almost completely unscrewed, and that had me almost completely unscrewed too!! LOL Maybe blue Loctite instead of red. That way I can get it apart with the strong arm and the Loctite might prevent it from rusting and seizing too. I think they use belts for power transmission because it's cheaper to make and design than trying to get a drive shaft installation done. Oh well, $30 a belt every year isn't too bad I guess eh!! I'll give Nannie a hug for ya buddy and we'll talk to ya!!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop Shine on Mike. Yer an amazing friend.
Great fixes Mike. Strange thou about the blades. Must not of been thick enough. I’ve had my share of belt troubles. Yes sir, October first and she’s cooler for sure Mike. You and Nannie have a great week. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
How's she goin'? Noel the blades I bought this time were cheaper ones and I think they make them thinner so they can be cheaper. Having the blade bolt come loose was a surprise for me though. Man I strained my milk tightening that bolt last spring!! LOL I guess I need more wheaties eh! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Maybe you should not put anti seize on them. 🤷🏻♂️. I would put a little Goop on the treads, then once tight put a little on the nut and stud. And the Goop will allow the nut to be takin off.
@@noelstractors-firewood57 I did have anti seize on them Noel. Did you mean Loctite?
I put anti seize on an oil drain nipple with cap. Not sure why I did that, any way the nipple fell out. And all the oil came out. Never did that again. Not I don’t mean lock tight Mike. I use the Goop on a lot of stuff. I’ve showen it before. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
Another crafty repair my buddy , hope you and Nannie has an awesome week
How's she goin'? Thanks Garry! This repair went well, but I was only planning on taking a couple of minutes to change the belt and then this happened! LOL It never fails eh! Take care and I hope you and Tucker have a great week too!!
Full speed ahead. there is nothing to stop you now Mike. Just a few repairs and your back in business....CHEERS
How's she goin'? Gator you must know what this is like. You think, 5 minutes to get this job done and then it turns into a big production! It never fails eh!! Thanks a lot for tuning in. Take 'er easy!!
Looks like you have it working great! We are always praying for you and Nannie 🙏🙏🙏
How's she goin'? Your prayers are much appreciated Mike. Thanks and God Bless you! I thought I'd take 5 minutes and change the belt!! Well an hour later I finally was able to change the belt and mow the lawn!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
it looks like success now for some fishing..lol
How's she goin'? Yes Vernon, a simple belt replacement turned into a big job repair !! No fishing today buddy. Our season closed the middle of September!! :-( Take 'er easy!!
I wonder if a thicker washer on the bolt would accomplish the same results?
How's she goin'? Thanks a lot for dropping by! I appreciate it!! A think a thicker washer wouldn't have fixed the loose blades as the washer was coming up against the stub shaft because it was longer than the blade was thick. I did notice on the old blades I removed back in the spring, that one washer was cupped, like a belleville washer. That would have worked. Thanks for the comment and I hope you comment again on the next video!! Take 'er easy!!
Lots of almost replacement parts out there in the aftermarket. It's cool out here today too , yesterday we had the AC on :)
How's she goin'? A simple repair, like changing the belt, turned into some heavy duty repairs and the 15 minute belt change turned into an hours job!! And the replacement market is buyer beware eh. I do find on Amazon, for the most part, the descriptions are pretty complete. But since the Husqvarna manual didn't give the belt length I only had the part number to go on, and it said the belt was 101.4 inches long. It turned out that was too long. Now I know. Take 'er easy!!
Quick but done right, and you got all ya didgets so success
How's she goin'? Yes sir I still have 10 on 2 so I'm doing pretty good! LOL Take care!!
While watching I am saying to myself Please change your mind,and don't cut the bench, but after the fact it looks really great like that. Now are you going to repair the section you cut off and find a place for it for as a flat top storage cabinet? Thanks for sharing this video Mike
How's she goin'? Jack if you had been in the shop that day you could have talked me out of cutting the bench pretty easy!! I fussed over that decision for a long time, but now that it's cut, I like it. I think it'll be good once I get things squared away!! Thanks for the comment. Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop your welcome Mike
Wishing you all the best for your workshop channel's success! Your content is amazing! I hope you have a wonderful month of October~
How's she goin'? thanks so much for dropping by and leaving a comment. The workshop is a big project and it'll be nice when finished. But I'm not too sure if it will ever be finished though!! LOL Have a great week and thanks again for your visit to the channel. Take 'er easy!!
Great progress Mike,,, maybe a divider between the computer and bench will help with the dust?
How's she goin'? That's a good idea Steve!! I was thinking of something like that but it would only create an 'end' on the bench and that would turn into a great spot to pile stuff!! I'd like to try and keep the end of the bench clear I could, but we'll see. Putting up a divider is still not out of the equation just yet!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Fine fine work. I think you will be happy with your new setup. Have fun with it.
How's she goin'? Thanks Larry!! What a time I had trying to convince myself to cut the bench down. But I think it was a good idea. Take 'er easy!!
Well Mike it looks like you're on the downhill part of this project. Cutting that bench must have taken a bit of courage. But I think it was a good choice. It looks great buddy.
How's she goin'? John I posed over this decision to cut the bench for a long time. But I agree, I think it's a good decision! Lots of work going to be needed to get everything squared away again, but at least I'm starting to put things back together and not taking them apart anymore!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Hello Mike. I hate painting lol. It's not that I'm a bad painter it's just all the prep work and cleanup that I don't like. Definitely cutting in is important and can take some time. Also having good rollers and brushes makes a big difference. This painting video wasn't too bad Mike, I only fell asleep once lol. It shaping up buddy. Take care
How's she goin'? Painting sure isn't my favorite activity either John. In fact all the prep work and clean up is a pain I agree, so I buy the cheapest brushes and rollers I can find and then just throw them out when I'm finished!! LOL Thanks for the comment. Take 'er easy!!
