You know you are acclimated to the weather when you are young and show up in shorts in the middle of winter to help dad pull cable! Just don't tell mom! :)
I wear shorts all year round.....
It is such a blessing how far y'all have come. I'm in awe and it make me smile that one day we will be just as far with out accomplishments on our homestead like you have been. Dream come true and hardworking pays off. Great job, love and many blessings from our little 6 acre homestead in South Mississippi!
Love the DODGE!!!!! My Dad has a 250!
As an electrician I love watching other non electricians do the work and succeed at it. That's the tradesman in you.
Ashes are a good idea on the ice. I use our spent coffee grounds, as well.
Am glad to see the whole family helping.
Always a delight to watch.
Used coffee grounds are also good for composting and just tossing them in the garden improves the soil.
Unfortunately the ashes become a dirty sticky mess once the thaw sets in
Happy Sunday!
When I started following your channel Rhett was a boy and Reid a toddler. Rhett is already dashing young man and Reid a teenager. Thanks for letting us into your family ❤
Looking good. Vehicle problems never end with the vintage inventory. At least you are set up with the knowledge to work on them.
Another good video. Viewers have learned not to believe what you say you will do but rather what actually happens. And that's a lot of fun to follow.
It’s amazing how much work gets done in the cold air and all that snow. Nothing slows you down!
Minnesota here with a windchill of -10°F this evening. If you keep moving it's not that bad. I like to get out and shovel snow! And next week I will be 72!
I am so happy to meet u and your wifee. And kids to. You guys put a smile on my face everyday . thank you for letting be part of your family
Had to chuckle when you told the story of selling the truck for the wedding rings. I sold my 79 Chevy 4x4 for the exact same thing
Heath our mechanic use to take the fuel line off after the fuel pump to see if it has adequate pressure if that was OK he then went to the injectors and the seals maybe a bad regulator. Bleed back is a common problem especially in winter I think it has something to do with the seals shrink in the cold especially when the engine isn't running. During the summer this usually doesn't happen because the seals swell a good seal is hard to beat. But glad to see you and Rhett working in the garage and getting the generator ready to be wired up. Tell Cedar that it's the delivery that makes the joke tell her right now is a good time to sweat. Be careful and stay safe my friends God love ya 💓
Reed thanks for helping your Dad those are memories that you and your dad will remember forever and they will make you smile so ever check she get helping him and thanks for helping your mom you and your sister get up the firewood
Love your content. I'm sure you see and get tired of certain posts. I am a Ford diesel tech and have owned idi and powerstrokes. To my flatrate detriment I tend to diag rather than throw parts. On the idi I have seen several air leaks as you mentioned. I put a clear line in place of the rubber hose to see where it drains back or sucks air. My experience is the rubber line at mechanical fuel pump, or if the water separator is on the firewall. Also either of the fuel pumps. High pressure pump seals could be dry creating issue. Turn fuel up 1 flat to wake it up. Powerstrokes...icp is relative to fuel pressure. If it's tuned monitor icp with scan tool if possible you may have oil high pressure oil problem. Ie black color in fuel bowl, ipr, icp and oil soaked connector, injector harness opening up when warm. Just trying to help. Thanks again for your content.
U, just help me with my problems thanks
I love my 77 ford I’m fixing it up been several years since I had a very busy job and now I have the free time
It is so nice to be able to work on your own truck without having to get an engineering degree. 🙃
Your old photos are great. Heath we can all see what Cedar saw in you back then 😍
I enjoy your stories as you work. It's sweet when Cedar has
something to share with us. She is a very gentle kind soul! 💕
Hey Heath just a heads up, with the bottom edge of the roof open to the generator area it could potentially fill the shop with carbon monoxide from the exhuast.
When's Rhett going to start his own channel?
We thought you raised the slope on that back roof section so the snow would slide off on it's own!
Back to brainstorming when spring gets here right????????
The best part of ALL these videos?????!!!!! Watching from a INSIDE a nice!!!! WARM house!
Surprisingly, Walmart in Bolivar, Missouri has 100lb propane tank in stock. $130 price for tank and $100 for shipping. Menards in Casper, Wyoming has 6 100lb propane tanks in stock for $169. I did not check shipping for that one. All the very best going forward, Heath and Team #RedPoppyRanch! Thanks for your work!
The weather in Wisconsin has been bizarre as well. We had a tornado touch down not too far from me in December. Unheard of until now.
Same here in Minnesota! We want ❄️ Snow yes! Tornados NO! 🌪
Hey. I'm talking as a wife of an Electrician. Sadly he passed away 10/19/2019. But my point is I know what it's like to be put on the back burner one too many times. So in all kindness and humility, I say Stop. Stop putting your wife's projects on the back burner while you do your own thing. She will appreciate you so much more. And so will we here at home as we watch your sweet family. Also, the whole family spending time together in this video, was just heartwarming to watch. You know I am blind I have said it before, but I listen. And I just love you and Cedar and your little family. God Bless.
I'm not complaining nor correcting, but if I lived there I would clear that beautiful huge building out and park inside at night. Might even keep a small fire going with used motor oil or scrap wood or both. I'm just not a snow guy... Great content, as always!
People do differ for a fact! I was born in January and I live in Minnesota. I love to shovel snow and go sledding. This winter I went to a Santa Claus Village in Wisconsin and was walking around outside for three hours! I had a blast and it was lovely!
I’ve had to replace that “ shower head “as you called it in a E 350 ambulance The only place that had it near me was O Riley’s
My stepfather once said to me "Are you cold?" And I said Yes. He told me that if I would put down that chainsaw and use an Axe I would stay warmer. And if I still was cold to just let the Axe get dull. Oh the words of wisdom.
Anyone else curious what spending a night in the cabin would be like during winter?
Would LOVE to see an adventure staying in the tiny cabin. Or the Sauna you built, in use. Looking at building my own sauna out at our property and would love to see the good the bad, the ugly. :) Thanks for all you do!
Cedar, I'll bet you've already got this...
He who cuts his own firewood is twice warmed.
I learned that while I was cutting firewood to help fund my college education. It was on a sign in a grocery store in the middle of nowhere.
Wood warms you five times times - when you cut it, when you split it, when you stack it, when you carry it, and when you burn it.
I just LOVE the "new" old blue truck.
Keep expanding your solar and batteries, it is your lowest maintenance system for 10/30 year cycles.
If you did a big enough array you could heat and cool both your buildings with no input effort from your labor after completion of install.
Looking at that Firewood stack at the shop,, Someone is gonna start running low on Firewood real soon
I love seeing your family working as a team for everyone's mutual benefit. My family living in a New England woodland and warmed our home only with the dead trees we cut, chopped, split, and stacked. We had 2 wood stoves one in the basement and one on the first floor. We were toasty.
Back some years ago, I had a 2001 Honda Rubicon with a 60" snow blade. That thing could move some snow!!
Sure is good to see Rett out there plowing on the ATV. They've got a dad in you that most wished we had growing up. Kudos to all you great work, Heath & Cedar!!
It's so nice to see how the whole family is helping to get firewood.
Seeing the family at work looked so nice like a 'little house on the prairie' re make! After that you lost me bro! 😂 I still made the video run though because I'm a super fan. 😂😂😂
Love your lifestyle and your family principles 🙏🌈. Thank you for sharing 🎉✌
Love watching the cats and dogs follow you guys around.. very sweet
GREAT 👍 JOB RHETT 👏🏻 AWESOME 👏🏻!!! 😁👍
It's been so warm, here in north Georgia, I had to cut the grass last week. I've never cut grass in January before.
I really look forward to watching these videos. Its fun to watch the changes from the very beginning. Well done.
Greetings from Newfoundland. Canada. Happy Newyear.
Love the music it always reminds me of your family
You and your family doing awesome keep going with what you doing building, fixing the truck's , homesteading all that good stuff you and your family and friends are awesome.
I’ve only got the one 2002 7.3 to fight with, having resurrected it from being scrapped, so I’m not too familiar with all iterations of the platfrom, but the two main fueling issues I’ve found are the intake in the fuel tank fouling, and that it’s very finicky about oil pressure, and will shut of the fuel if it gets just a little bit low. I certainly won’t claim to be an expert, but this truck has been a head scratcher after mostly dealing with the the 8.3 cummins and it’s 4 cylinder sibling. When it’s working, it pulls hard with all manner of load behind it, and starts just fine in -30 (if it’s had the block heater plugged in), but man, that laundry list of accumulated problems that led to it being abandoned has been a journey. One year I might even summon the strength to pull the turbo and un-disable the exhaust valve under the turbo that’s currently wired open. One year. When I feel like I don’t get any more enjoyment from bashing my head against a wall. Best of luck with yours.
I'm in New Zealand 🇳🇿 but in the 70's and 80's I lived in London and drove 18 wheelers in England and Europe for 5 years. Now snow and ice looks good on calenders and post cards. The salt on the roads stuffs every thing and turns New vehicles into balls of rust in no time. You can take those weather conditions and shove em where the sun doesn't shine. Like what you and yours have done though. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the summer where you are. Today here was 22degrees and that's F not C.
Heath, here in Omaha young boys wear shorts all year long, even through winter! My son does and he is 40 years old! lol Everytime you get up on a roof, it makes me nervous and I hold my breath! ha Your roofs are slippery! Cedar and Heath, your children are very blessed to have you as parents. You are the best. Your children are a blessing too! I look forward to when your video's come out and I hit the like button before I even watch the video. Blessings!
”Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice ” -- Henry Ford .
That is no joke- thats the truth !
Thank you and have a wonderful week.
Cedar you did a great job with the joke. For some reason I always mess that one up, but I know it does warm you twice!! keep up the good work
Actually three times… you cut it down and haul it home that’s one time then you have to split it and now that’s work so it warmed you again and the third time when it’s in the stove
3 times
@@dougseamons4874 You are absolutely correct and I can testify to that! With good gloves and good 👢 boots you can work for quite a while if you stay out of the wind.
@@dougseamons4874 Count the number of times you move wood. Forest to trailer, trailer to drying shed, to storage shed, inside storage, into fire place, then hauling ash out to pile or road. Handling wood 5 to 8 times is normal.
Amazing channel, Amazing family!
You guys have your place set up really nice.
It's great that you run the older trucks, I'm a big fan as well, they just seem to need more TLC is all. Hoping you can get the generator all wired up before another 3' of snow falls. Love what you're doing ❤️
Happy New Year!
Really the bike and special people now . On this channel
On Rhett’s truck check the ICP if there is oil in the plug then it is going bad. That can make a 7.3 powerstroke show those issues. Also check every plug on the valve cover harness.
and then, and then and then, wow Mr. Busy.
GOOD TO SEE ALL HANDS ON DECK
Your right on a weather boundary right now. There's a big plume of cold air coming down from the arctic meeting a big plume of warm air coming up from the equator and it's meeting right over the central USA. So you've got freezing wintery conditions meeting tropical air. It's playing havoc with the weather. It's because the jet streams slowed down so much so I've heard.
Pull a heavy duty fertilizer/seed spreader loaded with salt/sand behind the ATV to do the drive. That's what I used on my 140' driveway.
On Retts truck…is there a second inline fuel filter. My 92 F-250 with a 460 was hesitating. I replaced the fuel filter before taking it in and luckily one guy in the shop knew about the second in line filter. Fixed my problem.
Your get it done attitude is great to watch. If not now then later will do. Curious about Ruby. She looks so thin and bony. Good to see the rest of the family. Take care and be safe.
Sheck the hardware stores. I've seen 100-gallon tanks for sale in them. Also, check out the RV lots. They have large tanks as well and the wrecking yards.
Good luck getting all u set to do . Have a good day
California cold==45 F== your the man to work in colder climate...
I have a 2 wheel wheelbarrow. It does not spill load on me as it is more stable. Only need for a one wheel wheelbarrow is when using a single plank as a walkway or ramp.
And then if you miss step over it goes. I do believe that I am due for a new wheelbarrow!
from the Netherlands thanks for the video RPR
Save your ashes in a galvanized trash can and they work great for getting rid of ice and snow when the snow comes out. Hi from Colorado!
Also works for deodorizing outhouses.
Never fear Alvin is here, Heath can you spray your solar panels with rain x to make the snow slide off better just wondering would be cool to try , Alvin
He’s mentioned that before, don’t recall what he said, but it was when he was moving the panels to the second story, if you were to check out those vids.
Love the projects!! Beautiful snow
I have looked into 100# LP tanks. You can order tanks of that size from Home Depot. You may be able to do the same from Lowes. I was thinking of buying two tanks for my garage. One for heat and the second for when the first runs out. Let your fingers do the walking on the computer.
Your son has the bug thanks to his skillful father ,he will be fine ,I wanted to pass along my knowledge of cars to my son's but they had there own agenda but my youngest grandson he's 17 has shown an interest in auto repairs so I work with him ,happy New Year's to you and your family 👍😉
The picture of you with the 77 shortbed shows that Rhett has a lot of your features. Wow
Nice video, thank you! Same Weather pattern in central Washington state! Congrats on your completed projects! They have simplified your life but more projects and weather diversity to come, eh! Back in the day before bending pipe they first filled it with sand! Ron USA, PTL
Heath I just really enjoy watching you and your family. Thanks so much for all you do and thanks for sharing your great ideas and videos! Blessings! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯❤️🙏🏽
thank you Mr Poppy.
Heath you are a Workaholic yiu gets it done keep warm and safe ♥️ GOD BLESS.
The old ford trucks had coated tanks. After years of use the coating falls of and clogs up the sump in the tanks. You and pull the sumps and look in the tanks to know for sure. You may have to replace the tanks.
Good onya little Reedy.
such a big helper now.
Dad will have to pay you a lot more :)
I just love how your family all works together when they do stuff I don’t seem like everybody jumped right in and helps no complaining no nothing
I hope everything goes well for y’all!
Seeing you go up on the roof, made me uneasy because snow is slippery and people fall. This is just a suggestion, if you can build 2 permanent small one person scaffolding on opposite sides of the building out of wood to go up to the roof and maybe from the scaffolding you can build a bridge with a railing that would lead from one side of the roof to the other so when you have to get up there, you will be safe. I know it's easier said than done and snow has no boundaries, but it just might help so you will have somewhere to hold on to securely.
Looking great! Thank you for sharing
That is some snow totals we saw our first 3-4 inches this past Friday was pretty but it’s gone almost with some freezing rain an an warmer temps. I’m from Easter Pennsylvania, southern Pocono’s region.
I have to say your journey an all your adventures have me always coming back every video!
Thanks for sharing them with us.
Ask Cedar is she has thought about the garden for spring at all, will you be starting early, using a greenhouse to extend growing season, or just different plants that like cold weather?
Have a great week see you again Wednesday
My beloved daughter-in-law has already ordered her seeds and plants so she gave me ALL of her seed catalogs! Mercy! If I only had a bigger plot of land!
For Christmas my nephew, bless him, gave me a grow tent and a grow light with lite bulbs to start my plants! When the weather gets rough and raw I get out my catalogs and start planning and dreaming!
On the IDI truck, don't wait too long to do the manual glow plug button. When the glow plug controller fails it fails in the on position. But I'm sure you're aware of that since you mentioned doing a Manual switch. I found that out the hard way on my 1985 Dually.
Yet again great work, lovely to see you all working together. Good luck for the future
my 89 f350 4x4 crew cab bb 460 has 89,000 original miles, everything works, runs great, its a mean machine go about anywhere, lol...
Talking about old trucks I saw one will get a kick out of today Heath. Let me see if it still there tomorrow and I will send you a picture of it.
😂😂😂😂…..Cedar said she wants the shutters done first…….. I burst 💥 laughing
My mother used to burn pieces of wood in our fireplace that my father had cut up from scraps he picked up here and there. Some of it had nails in it. One time when I was quite young I decided that I could help my neighbor by putting the ashes on her inclined driveway when it snowed one time. I didn't realize and didn't think that the ashes might have nails in them. Apparently there were quite a few but I was focused on helping my neighbor. Not too long after that my mother heard from our neighbor after she had multiple flat tires and had figured out why and where the ashes came from. I don't know what kind of settlement was made with the neighbor. I guessed my well meaning topped my stupidity in my mother's eyes. Anyway, I didn't hear anymore about it but I never put ashes on a driveway again.
I have closed captions on, and when the old ford started up at 24min~ it just said [Applause] :)
whatever happened to the firewood cart that Heath built out of an antique railway luggage/ freight cart. It looked awesome. Assume you simply found that it was too big for the house? Also, every fall, you should stockpile a 10 yard load of sand beside the driveway , That gives you a source to toss on the driveway to help with the ice, and in the spring. it just becomes part of the gravel.
👋🏼 Ruby is so very cute.
Cedar’s joke was funnier the way she delivered it than the joke as it was written. LOL.
Heath, never fear Alvin is here, would be cool if you had two plows on both trucks and you and Rhett could tag team the snow alot faster just a suggestion , take care bud, Alvin
You're a good father. About the weather, it's called global climate change
Always good videos.
You don't need pants to do electrical work! The kids a PRO.
God bless you and your family. Inspiring!
