    I have a 1998 Saturn. Still running. And since I am an old coot this will be my last car. I am very fond of it.

    Yall should get a couple of those aluminum cages that the IBC totes come in. You can load them full of firewood and use the fork attachment to carry them put wheels on one and roll it into shop and back out when empty and pick it up and fill it then bring back, set it down and roll it into shop and park it and use it for your wood storage.

    Evan, please don't pay any attention to the comment from John Butterfass. He obviously hasn't been "along for the ride" these past few years as you and Rebekah have transitioned your property from the terrible condition it was in when you bought it to the showplace you have today. I think I can speak on behalf of your viewers and say we have enjoyed seeing what you have accomplished and admire your determination and work ethic. And as the old adage says.. "Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better." Sometimes we have to make a little mess before we can complete the job. So, thanks to you and Rebekah for sharing your journey. It's been great entertainment, plus It's been inspiring seeing you tackle tasks and problems and work out the best solution for your homestead. Looking forward to seeing more. Best wishes!

    We're thinking of getting a new vacuum cleaner like yours for our pellet stove , then our old ash vac will become mine for use in my new outdoor kitchen. We also did the Dave Ramsey plan and paid off our house 18 years early, plus no credit card dept. We still make house payments, however, we now add those payments to our money market account rather than to the mortgage company.

    Just a suggestion, the rack for your fire wood. Why don't you make it portable, then when it is empty, you pick it up with forklift take it to the place where you stock pile, load it up, then drop it back at the house. Cutting out an extra step

    • @kd5inm
      @kd5inm 2 роки тому

      Use an IBC tote aluminum cage. It has a base that can be used as a pallet. In the shop it can have caster wheels mounted to it to move it on concrete. It can be wheeled out of the shop, to the tractor and use the forks to pick it up, fill it and then bring back to the shop full and then roll it over to be stored by the stove to pull wood from. It will hold as much or more wood than you had stacked.

    Evan and Rebekah, I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and I'm always impressed with your skills and how you work together. But one thing I'm most impressed with is how y'all have followed the D. Ramsey methods. My wife and I was doing DR a couple of years before we even knew he existed, but he did give us a better grip on it. Most people will not even try it and many more will not stick to it since in the early stages A LOT of sacrifice is needed - I think y'all will agree by now 😊 - and they're not usually willing to do that. Anyway, we are MUCH better off today by follow his advice and I'm sure y'all are as well. Nice job all the way around. 👍
