Installing Propane On Our Off Grid Homestead
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Watch this week as Ryan walks through the process of installing our 1,000 gallon propane tank on our off grid homestead. We are excited that we also finish the last chore that required us to get on the roof. We were especially happy that we were able to do it before winter set in; we want to make sure no more accidents happen. Also, Von moves a little closer to getting the woodstove hearth completed..., in her words, "the never ending brick work!"

Ryan.....it is so EASY to watch projects like installing a propane line and say.....OH just run a line and spin it on, LOL....Then you actually do it and you run into 87 little parts and bends and secret issues to make it work. SO Great Job on getting it done yourself and finding all the information and parts needed. Best wishes
Thanks! You’re absolutely right… a million little parts and a million little trips for tiny pieces… lol! Looks like you guys have been busy, siding looks amazing 👍👍👍
Ssswwweeeeeetttt! Yes indeed Ryan, you beat the frost and snow. Look how good it all sealed too! Nice Hearth Von. You can clean the brick with equal parts white vinegar/water before sealing or painting! You two are fearless and that is fun to watch. What satisfaction you'll have in your lovely home over the years knowing you did it all! Great priceless memories! Be safe! Soldier on!
Thank you Shannon for the tip on cleaning and thanks for watching.😊
Man that hearth is really looking good Von. Get those windows put in and stoke the fire.
She finished it today and I was prepping window openings getting ready for the windows. They can’t come fast enough.😊
Give God the glory every time you need to go on the rooftop, inside or out for your safety, it is very scary to watch you when you are up so high on the roof or the ceiling, be safe and careful ❤
Good work guys.....Von that Brick work looks Awesome
Thanks guys! 🙏 I love it, but have decided… I never want to do brick work again 😂 🤣😂🤣😂
LOOKin GOOD!!!
Ron and Von, I love all of your videos no matter they are.
Thank you
Great Job Guy's home is coming together.........
Thank you
More progress!!!! We have had our first snow event, 6 to 8 inches on Sunday. Now things are getting real. Lol. Very happy for yall beating the snow for that stovepipe install!
We got that stove pipe in by the skin of our teeth. We had snow Sunday also and we’re expecting another 4-8” Tuesday night.
Up here in Canada we pronounce it a harth (spelt like that so u know how we say it) 🤣great job guys. Now just the windows and you will be dried in. You two are amazing
Thanks Lyn. Canadians and Alaskans are pretty much interchangeable, so I guess we call it a harth.😁
Bit by bit your getting it done.
Hey Ron & Dawn, Rev. Paul Eustis Fl. How far are y’all from the Tok junction?? Man how things have changed since we first moved to Alaska 1959 @ 5yrs old, the Al-Can highway was as it was built during WWII switchback after switchback plus ALL silty, muddy, gravel.
More to come y’all love & enjoy each other making good memories for the golden years.
Rev. Paul……..
wow you did that better than other people have done it great
Thanks you😊
You guys have the best videos on UA-cam
You all keep it real
Thank you, that means a lot.
Looking good guys
Y’all need to get some wall ties for the hearth wall, just a metal strip you screw to the backer board, then you put the other end between a row of bricks.
Good tip thank you
Good job
I'd love to see more of your hunting and fishing adventures 😉 Haha you guys produce some excellent videos. 👌💖
Thank you! We normally have more time for hunting and fishing, but trying to get this house livable before winter has been crazy 😜 Don’t worry though we’ll be back and hard at it soon 😊
hearth. (haarth). I looked it up!!!🤣🤣, now I also know!!
BYW y’all I’m a new subscriber…… questions about Alaska I’ll pass along what I’ve learned from living/working all over Alaska.
Awesome, thank you for subscribing! I’ll bet you have some great memories ❤️ We’re actually long time Alaskans , Von was born and raised in Alaska, she is native Alaskan, and Ryan moved here from Montana 30 years ago. We’ve lived all over Alaska too, Kodiak, Valdez, Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau, Sitka, Wasilla… We love it ❤️❤️
I hope you have a good heart, I almost had the big one when they filled my 250 gallon tank. I just watched Ryan Hall Yall on You tube. The cold weather and snow is coming
Nice job on the chimney flashing...
Thank you
Good evening-amazing shots~👐
You are pronouncing it correctly. Hearth. :) And it is going to be so pretty! And she is doing brick work not block work... ;-) block work would be with cinder block or the like. I love your channel, I just found it a short time ago and you two are such a fun couple!!! Can't wait to watch your journey I am enjoying you both so much!
Thank you Darlene. Welcome to the channel. We try to work hard but have fun doing it😁
Looks good love you guys
Thank you
Graças a Deus vocês terminaram o telhado e colocaram a chaminé do fogão antes da neve cair. Parabéns! Show! Brasil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 👏👏👏👏👏👏
If it was easy then everyone would do it..... believe you me, it seemed impossible till I did my own system. I then looked back and said, no more, never again .... yet really, it is that easy and the time spent sweating was needless. Crowley has to me been a life changer... they really come through for alaskans. I dealt with the old man himself and he was so hesitant at first to even deal with me yet once in to his confidence, I could of came for dinner, it was that kind of relationship. I looked the part of a old nam vet who could use a shave, and looked like my last bath was on a army inspection. I had two dogs and we spent all our free time together.. the other working time... well we spent that time together also. I loved those two dogs so much that a tear will roll from my eyes just thinking about them now. I never had a Von. I had what most called "You just lost your turn" woman who has a very special part in my heart yet today and that was over thirty years ago. Hell more than that because it was nineteen eighty four when our divorce took place. I never ever considered another woman an as for my dogs who passed on in two thousand ten, ... they were my entire life as they saved me from being myself, a self destructive negative person. I can tell you, if the dollars spent drinking her away were here in front of me now... I could easily retire without any help from government ssi checks. Ah back to you kids, its really not as hard as it is mentally a killer till the smoke is rolling from the chimney, the shepherds Pie is in the oven, a cold or hot beverage in hand an the lady curled on your arm. Of course the dogs are getting theirs from the cheese corn balls. They do know that dad never could finish his plate. So two beautiful Rottweilers, taking turns on the plate of goodies on their daddies plate was a heaven sent treat. I can see this at your home as well
I have watched every video that you have put up you and. Vaughn are doing Great. Keep up the Great work
Wow! That’s awesome, thank you.😊
Good job you 2 now Let's Lite a Fire Come on 😁😁
😁😁
I'm in the same boat as you are but you are a little further ahead of me. I almost have my cabin dried in. Glad to see you are getting it done. I plan on doing a very similar propane install next year. Thanks for showing how to do it.
We have been getting snow of and on for the last two days and we’re expecting 5-8” tonight into tomorrow. Good luck drying in the cabin and hope the install helps you out.
@@wildwoodoffgridalaska the snow missed me here in Willow yesterday but the cold didn't. Brrr! Our first real frost of the season
So glad you got that up before the snow....the hearth is looking really good!!
Thanks Kristin. We’ve been lucky with the weather so far but it’s calling for snow on Tuesday next week in a significant amount.😬
Your house is getting better and better, you must be so happy. And you are really hard workers, I am so impressed. All the best to you.
Thank you
I've installed gas lines before and it would probably be a good idea to install a pressure gauge at the end of your gas run . All you have to do is put in a tee and then screw in your pressure gauge , and then pressurize your line with air and make sure that it holds and you don't have any leaks ! When I was a boy I almost died from a gas leak in the house , the pilot light went out on our furnace and I was breathing gas fumes all night long , we all woke up with our heads pounding and I threw up all day long from gas poisoning !!
Scary 😧 we don’t want any leaks, that’s for sure.😊
Right on guys really great job
But I think there's more holes in the roof you have to put bathroom vent in and for the septic tank vents
All of those vents will be out the gable end walls.
Great progress you will be able to work inside in the warm soon brickwork coming along great All best wishes from England
We can’t wait. It’ll be nice to be in a warm house this winter even if it’s a construction zone.
Winter is coming soon.we added the other tent almost. Putting the outer part staring to haul wood to tent.get the window s in.
You did a great job on the smoke stack Ryan! Very neat installation!
Thank you
Another great week. Love both your attitudes.
Thank you
Just so you know I love your videos!
Thank you😊
The house is looking great guys, great team work and always positive! Happy Birthday to your grand daughter! Please be safe!!
I will be up April/may 2023 to work fish processing.
Hope to get to Tok and check out ten acres for sale.
You are correct it’s called a hearth
Enjoy the content nice place you guys have good luck 🍀 🍀 with your project Aloha and happy new year 🌺🤙🌺
Thank you! You too! 😊
Thanks for the video!! Propane tank install and also the wood stove pipe install was prefect timing 👍🏻 thanks
That’s awesome 😁
Nice! Getting colder here too. Leaves are in full color phases in the high country and it is astoundingly beautiful here. Hard to stay on task with my home projects. Great video folks. Good work getting some "dots" connected before the white stuff shows up. We may get snow this weekend at night but was 55 degrees today. Hopefully I did the last weed wacking and mowing for the year. Be blessed with all that you need.
Great hard work you two, love the home build
Thank you
Awesome work on the propane pipe and nailing the stove pipe put thru the roof Ryan🎉👏👍Yr doing a mint job on the hearth Von👍👏🎆Always look forward to watching yr videos and seing all the progress you've both made👋🙌🙏
Thanks PJ😊
Moving forward one task at a time , excellent teamwork as always and i enjoyed the vid immensely . .
😊😊thank you
I noticed you used the best cold weather sealant LEXAL .my favorite silicone caulking to use.
Love that stuff😁 it sticks to anything.
Great job guys, now some windows and insulation, love watching you guys work, you get along so good
Thank you 😊
looking good
can't wait to see the exterior get done
Exterior siding won’t be worked on until next summer. We need to mill the boards for the board and batten.😊
The house is coming together nicely! I’m really enjoying the videos
Thank you
Awesome work folks. I did not here you mention making a swing joint at the side of the house at the regulator. For freeze and thaw. Great progress on your beautiful home.
Uh, I don't know, but would not rustic brick, as opposed to painting white, especially, given gray ash stains, be more pleasing. Maybe, just wire brush mortar lines and then seal entire brickwork with silicone spray???
Von has an idea of how she wants it and I’m leaving it to her to do as she wishes.😊
Always look forward to your Friday videos! I know you're all pretty busy getting the house in order so I'll be patient for next years hunting and fishing. With mainly you two doing the work things are getting done
The house took priority for sure. Unfortunately my moose hunt that I had planned fell through last minute.
Hey Gang, Great Posting, Ryan and Von, you guys are amazing, motivating, inspirational and a blessing, you're setting footsteps for other to follow. Ryan? Any hunting videos coming?
God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family keep up the great work love U guys XOXOXO stay safe and healthy
Unfortunately the moose hunt I had planned fell through last minute and we chose to just continue with the house build. Freezers are full though and there is always next year. I’m planning to spring bear hunt this next year.
i have only recently been following your adventures, you two are a fantastic match, you work so well together your videos are the highlight of my Friday mornings here in the UK. thank you for sharing your lives with us, cant wait for next weeks instalment.
Thank you Kevin and welcome to the journey😊
You guys are amazing 👍💕 blessings
Thank you
him living in Alaska surprise he didn't buy a tractor with cab. especially them below -0 days
🤠
Great job both of you! The chimney looks good and hearth is going to be beautiful.
Thank you 😊
You both have very good work ethics. Everything you do is very professional 👌 Nice! 😎 Haha I figured you'd call on the family to help you get the siding on before it snows. 🤩🙏😉 Do you both have full time jobs? Enjoy your coming week together.
Thank you Joan. Siding won’t happen until next year because I’ll be milling all of our it. We are both retired and just work for ourselves. Have a great day.
I'm calling OSHA😆
😂😂
I thought Von was going to dump you off the loader when you were commenting on her speed of brick laying.
😂😂so did I. I was ready to grab on if she tried some stunt.😁
Loving this! No pipe support bracket for chimney pipe?? I'm assuming only needed if it was longer??
No need because of how short and how close to the peak it is.
great job that you guys have done congratulations I want to buy a piece of land there in Alaska what can I do thanks
The propane hook up was def a tutorial Ryan. I may try to do it with some help. Thanks for shooting this footage! Von the hearth looks like a pro worked on it. So are the windows still coming this month?
Thank you Deborah. The windows are supposed to be available on the 15th.🤞
Cock each screw before putting down each one to the roof… this will help, before the rain hits. ( just thread dope on the pipe fittings ,put dope ((cocking)) on the screws. )
How much is propane now? Making progress, you will have heat now. I still like the Tok area even though its tough in the winter. Only been out of Ak for less than a week and I miss it. Counting the days till spring when I head back up
We just payed $3.25 gal to fill the tank. We miss it every time we leave.
Some nice progress Ryan.I'm just wondering why you didn't get a Gas powered Generator (one fuel, one less supply problem). Bet you didn't know you married a Mason did you? 😄Looking good Von.
We didn’t go with gas because most, if not all gas generators are not meant to run as prime generators. Diesel generators are so much more reliable for long term use and as a prime generator, can be run 24/7 for power.
@@wildwoodoffgridalaska Got Ya.
Those are appliance flex connectors u used at tank and house not legal for your application, The flex Riser that you use should connect directly to the regulators
Thanks for the comment. Actually they are not appliance flex connectors and they came directly Lu from the propane company that helped me put the whole project together. These connectors are made by the company for the exact purpose I used them for.
@@wildwoodoffgridalaska do you have a part number and manufacturer? They look like dormont brand
@@tracker1ify I don’t have a part number but I have a spare and it is a Dormont brand. Tag states that it is not an appliance connector and that it is intended for outdoor use with max pressure of 15 psig.
I thought the propane tank was going to be placed in the utility shed that you built?
The shed that was built is holding the generator and the solar equipment. Behind the shed under the roof extension is where we are storing the 500 gallon diesel tank for the genny.
🇳🇴👍👍👌
Yes Bonnie Jo! It would look much better! Please don't paint the brick until you've lived with it a bit! You might regret it, & it'll be to late. Elections coming up, please don't discuss your views like Dutch did. He's going to really hurt his channels cuz of that content. Just saying. Although in Alaska
🤣
That's not off grid.
where is the safety rope come on guy safety first, please
Why use oxygen and hydrogen from water when you can add carbon to the air and pay a lot more for propane! Yaaaaay!
We don’t keep our heads in the clouds ☁️ We use what is available and what is affordable. We’re not looking to have a zero carbon footprint and if that is what you expect you should move on.😊
not really off grid if your installing a massive LP tank , talk about money talks!
We’re off grid by the traditional definition. We have no grid power, water, or sewer. The way we’ve chose to build is definitely expensive but makes sense for us as we age.
