Remember that you can use your ash instead of salt on your driveway at your house in the valley or in the mountain. It doesn't damage your dogs paws like salt does.
🇨🇦 Trent, if u take a wet paper towel and dip it in the ash you can scrub the inside of the woodstove glass and it cleans it up spotless in seconds. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Newspaper 📰 makes the best window / glass cleaner I've ever used, it's something to do with the ink on the paper or consistency of the newspaper 🗞️ material, Idk? But I'll have to give your wet paper towel dipped in Wood Ash a try sometime and give it a go. 👍🏼
I love it when Allie makes an observation that comes out comical and Grayson has a big, fat grin on his face. The humor is what gets you through the tough, little moments.
Ps…. Not all of us care about only the building part. Some of us really wanna spend time with you guys playing with the kiddos💜💜the chilling by the fire part… what about the snow ski adventures
Just as that very tricky last piece dropped into place the word legend was heard from the song playing! So perfect. Brandon’s cutting and Everyone measuring perfectly makes you all legends in my eyes.
As a guy that used a snowblower on a 140hp tractor on the 3 point, you always kept the area clean you left nothing on the ground to run into and you always used a scoop shovel to clear 3-4 ft away from any building
Snow blower/ plow hack for gravel driveways. Take a 3" piece of PVC the length of your blade and cut a slit in the PVC, slide it on the bottom of the blade or blower box, fab some mounting brackets to attach it. The PVC will keep you from digging into the gravel. It works really well!😊
Trent, i’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I’m still totally impressed with your skills. I haven’t seen anything that you can’t do once you set your mind to it. But the best part of you Trent is your attitude. I love the fact that this is a family channel and I can watch with my grandchildren and not be afraid of your language choices or the way you handle set backs. Thank you for being a good example of a real man.
Trent reminds me so much of my son. Hardest working man I know, but if it can happen to him, it will happen. Nothing is ever easy! Chin up Trent. It’ll all work out in the end.
📌 TRENT Important: Always pull back the bellows after each blow to prevent any embers or flames from being sucked back into the bellows chamber, which could potentially damage the bellows or cause a fire hazard; the pulling action draws fresh air in, while pushing the bellows expels the air onto the fire. Hope you read this..🥴 Sorry about your bad day, they happen to all of us, and of course it could have been worse. Mistakes are life lessons that stand out in our memory so not to happen again! 😅 And if we have to fix the mistake we don't forget! 😉
Seeing Likka watching Trent start the fire reminds me of when my dog watched me and my mom said, “He’s studying for when he’s a human in his next life.” ❤
Trent and Allie are blessed to have such good family and friends that are there to help. The siding is nothing to what it could of been and gotta love this deep snow. That little man is what is amazing to me of how intelligent that he is able to communicate at such an early age. He is definitely another Trent in the making. God Bless.
I don't understand why you guys don't shovel off the steps and around them so you don't have to get that close to the house. That's what we do here in Maine. We shovel steps and walkways, and the snowblower/plow guys get the big stuff. :D The steps in front of those double doors is so small! So easy to shovel off! Just worry about the wide areas with the snowblower.
Trent, of course these comments are “after the fact”, however, words of wisdom from a 76yo: make cardboard templates. You can make precise pieces and tape them together. Use a reference or multiple that each piece can reference. The cardboard templates are far easier to carry back and forth and will not risk an expensive piece of siding.
I know how siding pros deal with the problem. They put the siding on FIRST! The suggestion below of building a shed to cover all those penetrations is the way to go. You'll never be able to waterproof/snowproof what you have.
I think the siding looks wonderful, all around those pipes, great job! The hole in the house will be fixed and everything will look great. Love that the deck hardly has any snow on it, isn't that wonderful? Have a great week. Stay warm by that fired. (from Sandi)
While people often put up stakes along their driveway for snowplowing you also can put one on each side of the snow blower. You also can get a blade instead that will cut the snow above the auger. I was curious about how well the new roof over the front deck would be with the snow. I bet you're happy with the results so far. Good luck with the winter ahead.
In Alabama where I live, we got about 2 inches of snow last week. The roads were closed and a lot of people lost electricity. In spite of the inconvenience, everyone was deliriously happy to play in the snow (and take LOTS of pictures).
faux brick siding would look good around the bottom to cover the hole, and would be a great and easy to go around your outside utilities. Love your channel.
I just ground and brewed my fist cup of your Mountain Grind Coffee. Nice! the flavors really popped. I like my coffee black and bold without the bitter burnt taste often found in dark roast. I think you'll hit a good balance. Thank you so much for sharing what you like. Please stay warn and safe up on the mountain this winter. The work will be done when it gets done... Noone does better work by worry or fret. If what you share is what really is going on... then I think you'll work well with what you have been given. Keep your focus on what you have been given, stay true to what you find. Thank you for putting all out there. My wife and I really enjoy your show... Something we do together... we often laugh that y'all are learning in the same way we have. Will watch this show in a few hours.
We live in Canada and my 67 year old snowboarding husband luckily has friends living in Revelstoke and gets to go snowboarding there every year. Next week he is going snowboarding in Colorado for a week. Have fun in Canada.
Your favorite Safety monitor here. I would still use the safety fence around the fireplace. Leo could trip and fall against the hot fireplace accidentally. Not worth the risk. I know he's a big boy now and knows not to touch the hot fireplace, but as you know, accidents happen with active children, even adults. Better safe than sorry. May God be with you all this year. Allie's joy has returned to her and now she's shinning. You are greatly loved by myself and God our Father, never doubt that. ♾
It’s funny to think back how when those of us who are older growing up around dangerous things like a stove and our parents just told us to be careful. If we bumped into it and it burned, we learned a big lesson the hard way. Or, we walked around on the bench seat of our car when a parent was driving, no seatbelts. Or, riding around in a the back of pickup truck sitting on the tailgate laughing and hoping we didn’t fall out. No helmets when skateboarding or bicycling. But, this was life on a farm. Somehow we survived. Not everyone did I realize, but my oh my those were simpler times when we were allowed to be a little more daring. 😊
My friend Mary jane has a Great grandson that fell into their families fireplace and burned his hands. Bradley was 3 and he is now 6. He has had several major surgeries and half a dozen skin graphs. Mary jane is a retired nurse and she said she never seen anything so painful. One hand is still sort of webbed, but he will be okay. She said he will have more surgeries to help with the scar tissue as he grows. You’re right to be concerned. I don’t think Allie would ever take a chance with the children’s safety. It’s just who she is.
Oh gosh Trent that siding is really looking so beautiful and all of you have been doing some great work getting your walls all covered and hopefully before you get more crazy snow. Thanks again for another fun video to watch, I think Billy is so adorable and he seems so happy and smiles and laughs alot. Allie you have such adorable children. I am wishing your sweet family lots of blessings and love, bye! 😂🥰🥰😘🤗🙏🙏🙏🙌👏💕💜💜💜💜
Glad to see the snow is somewhere in Utah! Love that it is in the mountains and hopefully it will replenish our reservoirs enough. We live up near Brigham city and have not got more than a dusting. Seems strange to not be shoveling. 🤪
Trent, I'd suggest using a large Crescent wrench, to finish bending the auger. It will allow you to have the handle sticking straight out from where you want to bend it, and not limit the bend by hitting the auger. Worth a shot.
when I worked outside my employer had a giant box of hothands toe warmers.. it was the best for my toes ! warm all day, I always use them when skiing. you all are wonderful to watch. thank you for creating such gentle wholesome fun relaxing real content.
Y'all are a lot more hardy than I am. Of course I am about twice as old as you. You do have better clothing than I have and that makes a difference in staying warm while you work. Proud of you for what you have accomplished.
Just wondering... with that difficult piece on the side of the house with all the protrusions, could you house it all into a box with vents? That way your cuts would be easier and everything would be covered and masked. Just a thought! 😉
Trent you,Allie, Brandon, and Grayson worked SO HARD! You didn’t finish everything but you TRIED HARD. Don’t let the badmouth people get to you! Keep on keeping on and I will keep on praying for you all!! God bless!
Random question: Are you guys planning on putting in a cement walkway in from the desk to addition stairs? If so you could try and make it covered so you don't need to snowblow so close to the house.
I was freaking out because I didn't see Frank anywhere! Lika was out playing then inside but didn't see Frank ! Was so relieved when I finally got a glimpse of him.
Trent, you are so talented. It's impossible for humans to be perfect, and you are nearly perfect. Be happy about that. Blessings to you and your family and helpers.
I always enjoy your adventures, you are all amazing people.🤗 I love Revelstoke! I live three hours southwest of there, and it's one of my favorite day trips...in the Summertime. The high mountain roads are really tricky to drive during the Winter months, but the Selkirk mountain range is stunning...don't forget to take pictures Trent. Cheers for now! 🙂
Not a big deal, Trent. You all work so hard and accomplish so much! Your videos and projects are entertainment and education for so many on what a person CAN do. Love to you all. Happy new year! 🎉
i would spray putty the hole and stick a hose reel or other garden related fixture over it. Its not worth the trouble to re-do. they i would fit some kind of soft bumper to they corners of the bucket
It's not THAT bad, I thought it was going to be a window which would have been far far worse. I am a Chevy fan but I would choose a Ford over a Dodge any day of the week. JS Ya'll did a great job with that puzzle siding. Amazing guys!!!!
Just FYI... "Bellows" is a noun that refers to a device used to blow air into a fire to make it burn more vigorously. "Bellow" is a verb that means to shout in a loud, deep voice or to make a loud, deep noise like a bull or elephant. The word "bellows" is always used in the plural form. It comes from the Old English word blǽstbęl(i)g, which means "blast-bag" or "blowing-bag".
A tip to clean the glass on your fire. Get a damp cloth or piece of kitchen roll (sorry don't know what they call it in the US) dip in the ashes and clean the glass it works brilliantly.
Here I was complaining about the little 2 in of snow that we got the other day and you guys got over 4 ft of snow I guess I really didn't have a complaint Glad you fixed the snow blower You're going to need it be blessed
FYI . . . . Because some of us actually know what it's called And thought you might want to know as well. Bellow" is a verb that means to shout in a deep, angry voice, while "bellows" is a noun that refers to a device used to blow air into a fire: Bellow A verb that means to shout in a deep, angry voice. For example, "She bellowed and lowed so loudly that her agonies could be heard for many miles around". Synonyms of "bellow" include shout, call, cry, and scream. The word "bellows" comes from the Old English word blǽstbęl(i)g, which means "blast-bag" or "blowing-bag". The prefix was dropped and by the eleventh century the word bęlg, bylg, or bylig ("bag") was used.
when was the last time the woodburner chimney was cleaned? Insurance company wants that done AT LEAST annually. If you cover A/C, run the risk of getting critters in the equipment.
Stuff happens, as long you are healthy. But I would recommend you lean a large plywood in front of the sliding doors because you run the risk of either snow build-up or ice sliding off the roof and kicking back and breaking the sliding door glass.
Trent, you are too hard on yourself! Stuff happens, and you are always able to come up with a solution! Kudos to you and your team!! Using ash on a damp cloth or paper towel will clean the glass on your wood stove! It really does work! Keep that handsome chin up!! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻
My daddy always said to put a sign that says "What are you looking here for". Put a sign and a plant in front of the booboo and the bondo will work LOL. I love watching Leo and Billy growing up. It's happening so fast! ❤. And Lika and Frank are still so sweet with the kids.
Sorry about what happened outside but I am sure that it is fixable. Allie, the thing I notice every episode is that is the little guy gets cuter every day!!
My husband is a Ford man, we have had 4 all driven 200,000 plus miles, so dependable, we pull campers and we also live in the mountains in the snow. Great trucks. Better cover that hole in the house right away, it's the perfect size for critters!
I am still in awe about the measuring. Even if it took you 3 times. WOW, I would never be able to do that. It's my favorite part. The house booboo. You got this, Trent. Hey, that's why pencils have erasers. Have a super day. Stay warm. ❤
You guys turned me onto the little stove fans that spread the heat from the fire, and now you're using the bellows idea...full circle moment! Love you all♥
Canada, exhaust gas vent has to be 6 feet from a service gas regulator, three feet from hydro plug or hydro meter box that could produce a spark. Here you would have to pipe away the propane regulator to get the six foot blow off. :)
I'm so happy you guys decided to get a Ford truck. I loved my F150. Wouldn't trade it for anything? Hope You enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. I don't know how you deal with so much snow, but God bless you guys.
If I may suggest? Consider grouting or some other diversion around the bottoms of your columns on the new porch. You are all ready getting snow build up on top of the piers. This can melt into the base of your columns & form rot. If I remember your columns were not treated lumber?
Trent please stop dogging yourself. We all learn from our mistakes. You were amazing. Jumped right on it, fixed your snow blower. See the glass as full brotheyour fruits of labor show it. Be safe stay warm. Looking forward to your next episode♥️
Wow. Impressive siding cutouts. That was fun to watch. Love your attitudes when things go wrong. Love that you show us all of it, including the mishaps.
Truck brand might matter in some comparisons; but I believe 95% is the driver and the choices they make at any given moment when driving… in any condition, but especially in snow and or ice. Trent rocks!
Allie has such a good attitude with setbacks and slowdowns. And Trent is amazing, willing to expose his errors to all. Well done, both of you!
Yea at least one oops every episode.
@@unclewilbur8976Good heavens, man, you picked her! Maybe work at getting past it/her rather than publicly bad mouthing her!
Trent is also willing to expose the insulation with the snowblower. I guess his hammer just wasn't the right tool for this job?
How precious to see Leo concerned about Lika near the fire! 💙 Very, very cute.
Yes, Leo "bellowed" at him.
So adorable 🥰
❤❤❤❤❤
Build a little closet/shed over your utilities wall with a door.
Remember that you can use your ash instead of salt on your driveway at your house in the valley or in the mountain. It doesn't damage your dogs paws like salt does.
🇨🇦 Trent, if u take a wet paper towel and dip it in the ash you can scrub the inside of the woodstove glass and it cleans it up spotless in seconds. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Wood ash is the best cleaner.
That's a neat trick. Not one I was aware of so I learnt something new today. Thank you!
Newspaper is even better
Newspaper 📰 makes the best window / glass cleaner I've ever used, it's something to do with the ink on the paper or consistency of the newspaper 🗞️ material, Idk?
But I'll have to give your wet paper towel dipped in Wood Ash a try sometime and give it a go. 👍🏼
Hey, another Canadian! ☕️🇨🇦
My Pupa use to say “ As long as no one gets hurt-Things can be replaced and fixed”❤️
I love Monday and Friday with Trent and Allie and the whole gang. There is always something to smile about.
I love it when Allie makes an observation that comes out comical and Grayson has a big, fat grin on his face. The humor is what gets you through the tough, little moments.
Even the snow blower auger is a hair out of square now, at least Trent is consistent! 😂🤣
Couldn’t have said it better😊😊😊
Ps…. Not all of us care about only the building part. Some of us really wanna spend time with you guys playing with the kiddos💜💜the chilling by the fire part… what about the snow ski adventures
Just as that very tricky last piece dropped into place the word legend was heard from the song playing! So perfect. Brandon’s cutting and Everyone measuring perfectly makes you all legends in my eyes.
The house damage is only temporary. We all learn from mistakes. You all did a great job putting the siding up around all the protrusions.
Trent doesnt learn from mistakes lol
Yes, you did do a great job, everything is fixable.😮😮
As a guy that used a snowblower on a 140hp tractor on the 3 point, you always kept the area clean you left nothing on the ground to run into and you always used a scoop shovel to clear 3-4 ft away from any building
But that wouldn't be nearly as much fun...
You did a fabulous job fitting the siding around the pipes and electric box. Wow!
Snow blower/ plow hack for gravel driveways. Take a 3" piece of PVC the length of your blade and cut a slit in the PVC, slide it on the bottom of the blade or blower box, fab some mounting brackets to attach it. The PVC will keep you from digging into the gravel. It works really well!😊
Riley with Ambition Strikes did it with a steel pipe. It works really well.

There are little usb charged hand warmers you can keep in your pocket. Might help on those days when you can’t wear gloves.
"The Billy and Leo Show"...featuring Trent and Allie...also starring Frank & Leka, Brandon, Grayson and Jennifer :)
Seeing Likka watching Trent start the fire reminds me of when my dog watched me and my mom said, “He’s studying for when he’s a human in his next life.” ❤

Stuff happens. It could be so much worse. Trent's a good builder and fixer, so, he will have it fixed soon. You are blessed!
Allie…the drone shots are fabulous and the music you choose is always perfect! ❤
At least no one was hurt in the process ❤
That's ok Allie, us Ford drivers are laughing at the Rivian sitting IN the garage 😊 Luv ya anyways ❤
Trent, of course these comments are “after the fact”, however, words of wisdom from a 76yo: make cardboard templates. You can make precise pieces and tape them together. Use a reference or multiple that each piece can reference. The cardboard templates are far easier to carry back and forth and will not risk an expensive piece of siding.
What do we have here!!!
Trent, the singer dancer
Brandon, pencil man
Grayson, smiley smiley.
That's who we have!!!
These 3 AMIGOS CAN FIX ANYTHING!!!!
LIKA---!!!🎉❤🎉
...she really was having a moment
Adorable, springing through the snow like Tigger in Winni-the-Pooh!! So Precious ❤❤
🤣😅😂🤣😂🤣 Way to go Trent. Your wife will NEVER let you forget with her constant admonitions. 👍
Yay, we got to see the bellows in action.
I know how siding pros deal with the problem. They put the siding on FIRST!
The suggestion below of building a shed to cover all those penetrations is the way to go. You'll never be able to waterproof/snowproof what you have.
Use a crescent wrench with a pipe to bend the flighting on the blower. A pipe wrench is the wrong angle but you can get in there with a cresent
I think the siding looks wonderful, all around those pipes, great job! The hole in the house will be fixed and everything will look great. Love that the deck hardly has any snow on it, isn't that wonderful? Have a great week. Stay warm by that fired. (from Sandi)
What happened to the snowblower that was used on the deck that could have been used close to the buildings?
Exactly!
Think they may have given it to Brandon..
While people often put up stakes along their driveway for snowplowing you also can put one on each side of the snow blower. You also can get a blade instead that will cut the snow above the auger. I was curious about how well the new roof over the front deck would be with the snow. I bet you're happy with the results so far. Good luck with the winter ahead.
When times get hard remember one thing,,, 'You make us smile', problems are your gain xxx
In Alabama where I live, we got about 2 inches of snow last week. The roads were closed and a lot of people lost electricity. In spite of the inconvenience, everyone was deliriously happy to play in the snow (and take LOTS of pictures).
My daughter lives in Chelsea, Al. and sent me a video of her dogs flocking in the snow!
The best thing about building something yourself, is that you know how to fix it. 👍
Perhaps use the portable snow blower close to house and then big machine not have to go in so close. :)
faux brick siding would look good around the bottom to cover the hole, and would be a great and easy to go around your outside utilities. Love your channel.
Phones work just fine in Canada with any of the major carriers and most plans include voice,text and data
Once Trump has invaded Canada it won't be a problem anymore.
You built a big grand entrance for all your little mountain critters. It needs a WELCOME! sign.
😂
Ford is Canadian made!! Darn Skippy it's good in the snow!!!!❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️
Every corner of your house will have a story ☺️ I love it! Nothing is perfect in life that's what makes it beautiful 👨👩👦👦
Why not use the snow blower you have on deck any thing 1- 2 feet away from house use that to clear the snow also around the garage.
You must have a 1x1 1/2 piece of the Hardi hanging around. Patch it until spring with that.
It's not 1 step foward, 2 steps back.. it's 2 steps forward, 1 step back!
I just ground and brewed my fist cup of your Mountain Grind Coffee. Nice! the flavors really popped. I like my coffee black and bold without the bitter burnt taste often found in dark roast.

I so agree with this.I grew up during the time of out houses and coal or wood stoves..proverb ; cover and protect your as-sets always first #1 prio.
My friend Mary jane has a Great grandson that fell into their families fireplace and burned his hands. Bradley was 3 and he is now 6. He has had several major surgeries and half a dozen skin graphs.

🙋♀️ Good Morning Sweet Family!! ☕️ 💕🦋❄️
Oh gosh Trent that siding is really looking so beautiful and all of you have been doing some great work getting your walls all covered and hopefully before you get more crazy snow. Thanks again for another fun video to watch, I think Billy is so adorable and he seems so happy and smiles and laughs alot. Allie you have such adorable children. I am wishing your sweet family lots of blessings and love, bye! 😂🥰🥰😘🤗🙏🙏🙏🙌👏💕💜💜💜💜
Glad you got the snow blower working, but I'm so sorry about the house!!!😊🎉❤

So excited in the process you are making.
I was freaking out because I didn't see Frank anywhere! Lika was out playing then inside but didn't see Frank ! Was so relieved when I finally got a glimpse of him.
When I look at Billy, I see that he has Allie's eyes and facial looks. He is growing up so quickly. Looking good, cold weather or not work must go on.
Trent, you are so talented. It's impossible for humans to be perfect, and you are nearly perfect. Be happy about that. Blessings to you and your family and helpers.
"If you never break anything, you're not doing anything!" A quote by me during my working years!
This is what my husband says. It is true though. You never achieve anything, if you never try to do it.
I always enjoy your adventures, you are all amazing people.🤗 I love Revelstoke! I live three hours southwest of there, and it's one of my favorite day trips...in the Summertime.

i would spray putty the hole and stick a hose reel or other garden related fixture over it. Its not worth the trouble to re-do.
they i would fit some kind of soft bumper to they corners of the bucket
You could build a porch with a roof around the side where the door and windows are at! Later on, when you can before next season
I love all ya all so much. Thanks for sharing the real days. Thanks for keeping time for yourselves & family. A joy & a privilege! A grandma
It's not THAT bad, I thought it was going to be a window which would have been far far worse. I am a Chevy fan but I would choose a Ford over a Dodge any day of the week. JS Ya'll did a great job with that puzzle siding. Amazing guys!!!!

Bellow" is a verb that means to shout in a deep, angry voice, while "bellows" is a noun that refers to a device used to blow air into a fire:
Bellow
A verb that means to shout in a deep, angry voice. For example, "She bellowed and lowed so loudly that her agonies could be heard for many miles around". Synonyms of "bellow" include shout, call, cry, and scream.
The word "bellows" comes from the Old English word blǽstbęl(i)g, which means "blast-bag" or "blowing-bag". The prefix was dropped and by the eleventh century the word bęlg, bylg, or bylig ("bag") was used.
Billy is so amazing-the young whipper snapper. I think he is ahead of his age, cutie.
well, whipper snapper doesn't mean what I thought it did-just looked it up-sorry. He's wonderful like his brother (and parents)
when was the last time the woodburner chimney was cleaned? Insurance company wants that done AT LEAST annually. If you cover A/C, run the risk of getting critters in the equipment.
Stuff happens, as long you are healthy. But I would recommend you lean a large plywood in front of the sliding doors because you run the risk of either snow build-up or ice sliding off the roof and kicking back and breaking the sliding door glass.
Trent, you are too hard on yourself! Stuff happens, and you are always able to come up with a solution! Kudos to you and your team!! Using ash on a damp cloth or paper towel will clean the glass on your wood stove! It really does work! Keep that handsome chin up!! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻
My daddy always said to put a sign that says "What are you looking here for". Put a sign and a plant in front of the booboo and the bondo will work LOL.
I love watching Leo and Billy growing up. It's happening so fast! ❤. And Lika and Frank are still so sweet with the kids.
Sorry about what happened outside but I am sure that it is fixable. Allie, the thing I notice every episode is that is the little guy gets cuter every day!!
Great job on the house siding!
My husband is a Ford man, we have had 4 all driven 200,000 plus miles, so dependable, we pull campers and we also live in the mountains in the snow. Great trucks. Better cover that hole in the house right away, it's the perfect size for critters!
I am still in awe about the measuring. Even if it took you 3 times. WOW, I would never be able to do that. It's my favorite part. The house booboo. You got this, Trent. Hey, that's why pencils have erasers. Have a super day. Stay warm. ❤
Brrrr so much snow. Keep up the great work Trent. Allie you and Trent’s family is beautiful ❤❤
You guys turned me onto the little stove fans that spread the heat from the fire, and now you're using the bellows idea...full circle moment! Love you all♥
Canada, exhaust gas vent has to be 6 feet from a service gas regulator, three feet from hydro plug or hydro meter box that could produce a spark. Here you would have to pipe away the propane regulator to get the six foot blow off. :)

Use foam spray to the hole then use a knife to the foam.
Okay from Neil schwerdt 😊
I'm so happy you guys decided to get a Ford truck. I loved my F150. Wouldn't trade it for anything? Hope
You enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. I don't know how you deal with so much snow, but God bless you guys.
If I may suggest? Consider grouting or some other diversion around the bottoms of your columns on the new porch. You are all ready getting snow build up on top of the piers. This can melt into the base of your columns & form rot. If I remember your columns were not treated lumber?
Trent please stop dogging yourself. We all learn from our mistakes. You were amazing. Jumped right on it, fixed your snow blower. See the glass as full brotheyour fruits of labor show it. Be safe stay warm. Looking forward to your next episode♥️
17:26 LOVE TO YOU ALLIE! Your statement is so true!
Wow. Impressive siding cutouts. That was fun to watch. Love your attitudes when things go wrong. Love that you show us all of it, including the mishaps.
You can buy a specific vacuum for ash. Using your domestic one can clog up the motor. I learned this the hard way lol
A rainbow vacuum is good for this purpose as everything goes straight into water.
This will be yet another GREAT Story to tell the Boys as they grow up in the house that you all have built.
Truck brand might matter in some comparisons; but I believe 95% is the driver and the choices they make at any given moment when driving… in any condition, but especially in snow and or ice. Trent rocks!
