You need to take some of that clear plastic roofing sheets and cover the outside of the mud room so that it stays warm and dry this winter. Attack them with screws do that you can remove them next Summer.
I agree it would be nice that way.
The pole barn looks absolutely amazing and the mud room is coming along nicely. Might be worth making a seat on the other side to make life easier taking your boots off 👍
I would cleat on some 6 mil clear plastic to dry it in. I used that on a cattle panel as an outside shower, and it lasted 3 years. I just changed it this summer. It also let's in plenty of light.
That coat rack looks great Jay, Jen chose a beautiful piece of oak for the mud room projects, pole barn looks great too now the walls are done, and Jay you did right stopping when you did, you were tired and that’s when accidents can happen, hopefully that lightbulb works out too, you and Jen are an amazing couple, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Looks great y'all! Having wood in the mud room will make it great to get it without having to get all dressed out for the cold. Hope all is well and Happy Holidays! 🥶☃️👋👍
Our neighbors put up thick plastic and staple it to the outside of their screened room for the wintertime keep the snow out. Like the live edge for the coat rack and shelf. Guess I should have waited until the end of your video to mention the plastic.
Nice guys. I think you'll want to expand the wood holder eventually. Our whole porch wall is firewood and it's so nice to not have to go outside on super cold days! #spoiled 😂
Mud Room looks really nice, a great addition😊
Try using a grow light bulb like you use for plants and it make work better. I use one in my basement for my plants in the winter.
nice
Mud room looks awesome! Love watching the pups playing!❤️❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾
You gooooo Jen crack that whip to make Jay finish that garage LOLOL. Love the changes to the porch area especially the firewood area. Good thinking and great JOB. God Bless and stay WARM you two munchkins
Guys no matter what size it is you would always say" we should of made it biogger:. I saw your Instagram pic of the heavy snow and you could still put plast up. All in all great job!😊
I agree on using the clear plastic to close in the mud room. I heard you Jay say that. Thinking outlook. lol
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and Jen working on the homestead and keeping the water from freezing
Wow you both have come a long way with the build , looking forward to see how your efforts have paid off for the upcoming winter. I think the bath room is probably addition, but everything else is a plus.
I think it looks very nice n cozy! ❤ It was nice seeing the honest humor sides of you both. 👍
Those small jobs that y’all are completing are important one’s! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks JL appreciate you my friend
Jay.....take it from someone who knows.....those beverages will do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suggestion: Use a heat lamb bulb like you would use to keep new chicks warm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely a good idea storing wood in the mudroom. I hope no chipmunk or mice make their home there. If you have more of that clear sheets you put on the gable in of barn put on mudroom to enclose it or thick plastic. ❤❤ Looked like a nice fall day.
Jay, I would recommend a 100 watt socket mount heater, (I use one in our camper, and one under our wash machine in the garage) or 125 watt heat lamp. No sense wasting heat to produce extra light unless you need it, and get max heat production from your hundred watts.
News from a professional slacker... Each year you get a bit more slack after 50, but won't qualify as a professional until late 60s or early 70s if you keep moving. I was in the military with a guy age 38 who went home and put on his pajamas, ate dinner/ supper, sat on the couch in front of the TV till going to bed. He was a bit of a slacker at work, but was more of a pro after leaving work and on weekends. (He died in his mid 60s.)
Great update video guys!!! Now, how much snow blew in the screens from those pictures you posted on instagram?😂🤣 winter came with a vengeance!!🤣
video coming soon
As said below, that's what I'd do also, I think snow will blow in and rain too, thru the screen. And as you said, you were gonna use plastic, I use the same polycarbinate as you did on the pole barn, but make like picture frames and put in some screw in studs so you can take them down in the summer if you want to, and just store them in the pole barn. I know my dad did something similar at his beach house, except he used plywood for boarding up when a hurricane was expected. I think also, boxing in around your pipes would be a great idea for winterizing the pipes, and, will make the light bulb work a lot better. Some cheap plywood and some 1: foam board glued to it would work great!. You might also(if they don't require too much power, wrap the water items up with heat tape. for the filters and pump, you could get some of those 12v heat pads that they sell to stick to engine oil pans to keep them warm. Surely they tell the power consumption where ever yo order them from.
Awesome stuff
The boys are looking like what is dad doing under there?? You are both checking off the tasks ✔️✔️❤️❤️🙏🙏
You gonna make custom storm windows on your front porch..my day made some for their entire house and used plexiglass..and made the frames out of i believe 1 by 4' cut in half like furring strips maybe..house was always nice in winter
Box it in with foam board Jason
I would see about building a closure with 3" styrofoam insulation. Did that myself years ago and it worked nicely.
Hey, how are you doing lately? That screen in porch looks amazing, but i would put plastic on the screen, so the wind and snow would stay out. Anyway you two keep up the great job and have a wonderful week and stay safe and sound and take care 😊
Just getting small projects completed changes a lot of things.
A bench on the other side of the mud room would be nice
Sorry Jay
I feel sorry for you every time you have to go under the house.
But i laugh every time you do.😊
I wasn't worried about him losing his pants, it was more like how much dirt are you going to get down your pants 🤣. Yes Donna Vickery has a great idea.
Lol
Mud room looks great ❤❤❤
Mudroom looks really good you guys!
Looking great! Learn as you go guys. Maybe next year the yellow paint for the door will be back in stock again. 😊
Great job guys! It looks amazing!
Tap into the light and run electric heating element around the pipes. Then box the light, pump and filters in to retain some heat.
Enjoy your attitude and laughter…..great work you guys! 😊
Thanks so much!
I am surprised you still had an incandescent bulb. Maybe heat tape could be a better option?
Random
I’m so glad your shed got cover and not worry the snow falling inside
Are you going to add some kind of shoe and boot storage out there?😊
Yes....soon I hope
Great use of the space now you need to find some free storm windows
video coming soon
Too bad you didn’t have the screen door open in.
Mudroom is coming along nicely. Would it help if you continued the siding on the wall where the wood storage and coats get hung. That way you could put shelves for hats, gloves etc. Then it would be one less window to make.
Really good idea!
I really like that idea.....Jen and I might have to make that happen. 😊
lol on the first date great job you2
Good upgrades for sure, looks good you guys ❤
Great work on the mud room 🇬🇧😊
Thanks Valerie
Accurate, funtional and ready for winter, everything looks good
Getting there
How hard would it be to make your screen door swing in? Don't know if you are staying there for the winter but I have a feeling you're going to wish you had done that. Can you also create a wood storage rack on your back deck? You guys have accomplished so much this past year!
Think it would have to be a different door
@@OffgridwithJayandJen I'm sure you can find it Jen!
Coat rack looks wonderful! Like the log storage, but I would file that thing up as high as you can. Make it five days worth or 6. The wheel barrel ain't going to work to good in the snow. Hey! But that little red speed will!! 🤣 The Hooks Look Great!!!
Everyone remember to hit that like button. It helps !
woot woot THANK YOU
Hello excellent work jay and Jen love it how often do you check your mail box here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
Once every couple weeks
Every couple of weeks perfect
LOL'd at "now I have a reason to drink"😂. Always fun to watch your progress. Take care my friends 🇺🇲
.
You are fearless about doing any kind of project.
Awesome, awesome video guys!
Thanks for taking us along with you! ❤
For your water pipes, have you thought of using heat tape? I am thinking about using it when I get to running the plumbing for my cabin. Besides, it'd be fun to see Jay crawl back under the cabin again, he seems to enjoy that a lot, LOL.
Note to self...make my crawl space taller...LOL. Nice work on all the stuff. Taking some of that silver stuff and enclosing the pump and bulb would make a big difference down there. Maybe some heat trace on the pipes? Like the mud room, just need to keep the rain and snow out for the winter. Maybe attach some clear plastic to a wood frame then it can be taken on and off whenever? Cheers!
Thanks for the info, I live in Missouri. Love your Channel very much.🥰
I love how Jen just ignored your "I've got a reason to drink now" comment. 😂
The mud room is looking great and such a smart idea. The coat rack is wonderful and keeps those bulky jackets close but not laying around on furniture. A boot rack/shelf would be handy as well as a small bench maybe for your old bones when putting them on and taking them off.
I saw in your picture of the cabin with recent snow you're going to need that plastic on the screens soon. That snow just blew into the screen. Brrrr
Amazon is the only one left that sells 100 watt light bulbs. You’re gonna need a heat tape plus box everything in.❤
I put a thermostat controlled heat bar ,with heat tape wrapped around lines in my pump house ,there was a 100 watt light bulb too ,for xtra protection but the heat bar will come on when temp reaches z certain temp!..maybe an option jay..i love your videos ,and your teasing each other ,with love of course
The corragted clear plastic you’ve used on the roof can’t us use them on the sides of the mud room to keep it dry? And with the snow would you not just sprinkle salt infront of the mud room door- hoping that would help? Xxx
It's looking good. I agree with others about having a bench to be able to take your boots off and maybe a boot holder of some sort. I like in FL, so don't know what the best thing for boots/snow/etc would be. :D Good job you two.
As far as the bulb throws off radiant heat will keep it warm in a very good sized area.As long as your skirting is 100% tight with no leaks.
Great idea guy’s for hanging your coats when they’re either all wet or covered in rain so you don’t take it all inside with you. Your boots as well. Gonna be really nice having a few days of wood right there. I think you’re gonna like it so much you’re gonna want to make it bigger. Lol. If it were me the only thing I think I would do is maybe put something up on the outside so on real windy days the snow or rain doesn’t blow all inside of there. Some plastic or some of that clear plastic you have would be really good.
Two of my favorite people and in a beautiful place!!!!!
Mud room is coming along and almost ready for winter. Maybe put some of the heat tape around various water lines to keep them from freezing too. Yall are awesome!
Mud room is great guys. You will really appreciate that in the very cold days ahead.
I like what you did to the mud room.. Makes things so handy and much easier..
That turned out very functional for sure. Good job.
It will be great to step into the cabin with less coats and boots in the way and cleaner/dryer fur people!😍🇨🇦
Hey you should have sent Jen under that floor a fat man like you it was tight fit hahahah and Jen would fit but things poking out might have stoped her ok im only joking ok that is a bugger of a job fat man like me no way ill fit hahahha im really Fat those wire under there you should put a box around it dangerous critters could bit it and fried critter Wont the rain and snow come through that screen but you said you put plastic on the out side
Would it help to raise the front of the shelf to tilt it toward the back?😮
Do like I used to when I traveled and worked in power plants in cold areas I'd put heat tape on water hose and then pipe noodles and then the foil insulation around the hose and would not ever freeze
Yunes are so funny. Love the humor and happiness
Wonder if that plastic could be cut with a hot wire 😮
Don't use a halogen bulb for heat. Doesn't get hot.😊
Be well be safe thank you for sharing
I’m so happy the pups are great friends ❤
Looks great. Thanks for sharing
Do I see some solar panels on the front of the barn?👍
Looks good yall !! Stay warm 😊
Nice ! You made it work for you. 👍👍😊
Plexiglass would help a lot. Good job.
If you ran some HEATTAP around those filters and pipes where needed---Would that work keeping fron freezzing
Maybe
Mud room looks like it will work fine.
I never asked, I just assumed YOUS live at the cabin year round. DO YOUS? Or do YOUS go south for the winter? Or just back down state? I was wondering. Looks pretty cold there. Of course it’s cold where I live today to,which is in the thumb of Michigan,in PORT AUSTIN. BE SAFE,STAY WELL. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.😊
We bounce around......we spend 80 of our time at the cabin, but I have to go downstate for a day or two every other week to work some. We also go downstate for family stuff and a small vacation in the winter
Yes guys , things are cosy!
Mesure twice cut ones.😊😊
I am still watching on the big screen, but I have a question?( I watched you move some wood in the Mud room and wondering if TERMITES would attach the Cabin. Please let me know. I have a fire place and was told never put the Logs near the house because of Termites and I have a Brick house.) You can let me know in the next video I will be watching for the answer. Love U guys.😇🥰
termites are pretty rare here in Michigan....not a common problem
Love your projects!
Looking great 👍 😘 💋 xx
Love the additions.
Hi there! The barn looks amazing and it will be so much better now that it’s all dried in. You’ll have somewhere to still tinker and keep dry! I also love the coat rack and wood storage in the mud room. I have to agree with some other comments about making a bench seat, it could even have a hinged lid/seat so you could store stuff in it. I also think covering the “windows” with the same clear plastic as the barn would be a great idea. Love your videos and I love watching your doggos play and be crazy! They are such good boys! Cheers 👍🏻🇦🇺
We are excited about it too my friend. 😊👍
I just so enjoy watching your videos, I laugh so hard my stomach hurts from you and Jenny going back and forth at each other. Love everything you all are doing around the cabin and pole barn it’s looking amazing you all work together so well. Looking forward to seeing what you all do next.
Brings us joy reading your comment. Thanks buddy
Get a 6 foot heat tape or 2 . Heat rises
The mudroom is looking great! I actually thought that the shelf you were making was going to be for your boots because of the size LOL!!
Giggle giggle
It looked like you put the black wire under the silver screw and white wire under the gold screw, which is backward. Maybe it was just how it looked on TV?
Maybe I mixed it up.....I wasn't sure which went where.
I would make one wall of the mudroom "full", it would stop winds and stuff passing through and make more space for some other shelves/storage.
Video coming soon
Looks great yall.
Why not get some foam and cover the pipes? You can leave it on all the time. It will keep the pipes from freezing ...and use the light for the pump.
We get some pretty crazy low temps here.....would be hard to keep it from freezing either way
Great job guys! Looking good! Do you have plans to cover the screen part for the winter?
Yes. Coming soon
Have you considered running a vent hose from near the top of your stove pipe to your water pump and have it run 24/7off of a 12v dc fan.
Then have your water hose run into your house inside the air vent.
The UA-cam channel little house off grid has a video of how he does it.
I was actually considering running the bathroom vent fan down to that area. Maybe??
I bet one of those diesel heaters would work a lot better than a light bulb. I’ve seen a lot of UA-camrs posting about installing them.
I'm seriously going to have to look into them as well.....seems to be the new thing. =)
