Our adventures living in a forest homestead we built ourselves. We're a husband, wife, daughter, dog and cat team who are passionate about rural living, self-reliance, and entrepreneurship.
Very cute and amazing footage! This is a little brown bat, recently listed as an endangered species and if it’s found in broad daylight it is most likely sick as they are nocturnal. For anyone wondering what to do if you have these guys in your house or find them in broad daylight, DO NOT KILL THEM. Instead, call your local wildlife rehabilitation Center, so we can keep them around for generations to come ☺️ Fun facts: they love eating mosquitos and one of these little guys can eat around 1000 insects PER NIGHT. Let’s work together to take care of them 🫶🏼🫶🏼

For a number of years I had just one child, my son. Then in 2014 I unexpectedly became pregnant with a daughter. My son went from being an only child to now having two sisters! I couldn’t imagine life without the three. Though it is challenging, they’re never ever lonely now.

Thank you for the great video! I only thought it was a little weird that the shake lines don’t align with the shakes on the other wall. Also, I just watched another video of a guy saying that the gap for expansion is needed, so I’m a little confused now if it actually is.
@cabininthewoods5174 күн бұрын
@@fracasso1546 Sometimes you have to make compromises on the alignment from one wall to the next when you have multiple windows and doors at different heights to shingle around. As for gaps, this absolutely isn’t necessary, unless your shingles are old and bone dry. All new cut cedar shingles come with plenty of moisture still in them. If you install them tight together, they’ll shrink as they dry out and automatically create gaps plenty large enough for the tiny amount of expansion that might happen later. If you purposely add gaps, this shrinkage will make them even bigger, giving your wall an unprofessional gap-toothed look.

This guy has no idea what he's talking about. Red cedar shingles last longer. There is no way white cedar shingles will ever last 70 years, 25 at the most. He has no idea about coverage and exposure. You start below the bottom sheathing, not level with it. He also installed the shingles wrong at the window bottom, he did it backwards. Also, you don't install to drawn lines, you always tack a straight edge up and sit the shingles on it. Forget everything in this video. I install shingles for a living in Connecticut and RI.

I think you did quite well. I give you a grade of B+. A bag or piece of plastic taped over the barometric damper would have been helpful. Now for some questions. ❓️Could you attach a drill to the brush handle to make the brush spin and clean the ash better? Or have a crank on the end of the handle? Would this just be a bad idea? ❓️That part of the chimney that goes through the wall was almost half full. Was some of that from cleaning out the outside portion of the chimney. ❓️If you got ash on the deck, could you blow it off with a leaf blower, or would that just get all over everything? You did a much neater job than I would have done. Doing this job in front of the camera doesn't make it any easier. Thanks for sharing.

Have been following your Dad for years! He has always been a fountain of info. We live off grid. Have for the past 3 years. What you say is true.😂😂😂 We are 3K feet up 18 miles from the Canadian border in North Central WA state. I am a retired commercial/industrial electrician. Problem solving is my thing. Completed the house this past winter. Fenced in the solar panels, prepared the ground, fenced and planted an orchard. Built a chicken coop and run. Building the root cellar right now. Simple Pump ordered for the well. Without water we are nothing. Everything we do is heavily constructed and built first class. It’s cheaper in the long run to do it really right. As you say winter is when stuff breaks and it is -22F with 3 feet of snow on the ground. Always working. Always. Tough times are coming. We wouldn’t trade our remote location for anything.

While it's appriciable of your empathy towards the little guy....plz Don't handle them without prior knowledge. Handling bats needs special typ of training and vaccinations....though we might not like it, but they are a vector of lot of deadly diseases....so plz leave the guy alone to specialized care and you get yourself quarentined and take proper medical advice.
