There is a scene near the end when you are looking at the new roof of the barn and the sky is so blue overhead - it is a perfect setup for a photo of your property!
Buddy, you remind me of me 40 years ago. Just as soon as spring was near, I was outside. I always knew that certain things had to be done before winter arrived - but never got around to it until I was running late. Then the rush was on. One spring, I decided to do the winter prep first - starting with firewood. Best decision of my life.
I have to say, even covered in snow that is still one of the finest fences I have ever seen!! What an amazingly beautiful homestead ya'll have created! Many blessing and a Merry Christmas to your family!!!
It made me smile seeing your pup playing in the snow. I had to lay my pup to rest last weekend and he liked the snow. He got to tracking something with his nose and found himself in front of a Silverado. He was my dude and I miss him dearly.
When I moved to Canada, I learned something simple and clever... when snow or freezing rain was anticipated, you pull up your wipers and let them stick up in the air. Now when you clean your windshield they are out of the way and never stuck. ;)
I believe I watch your channel, because I am a workaholic. My day job can take up up to 18hrs of a 24hr day, I still feed the family and clean up after them and maintain the house and yard. I've been home on standby for my day job and have been DIY-ing around the house. I appreciate how Heath and Cedar generally do things themselves and don't pay people to do it. It is a great feeling at the end of the day when things are done.
Here in northern mn I’ve done and tried every possible combination of snow removal equipment there is. I finally settled on a 40hp. compact loader tractor with a cab and a 74” snowblower. I use the loader to back drag the s ow away from the buildings and then turn around and blow it out of there. By far the best investment I ever made and the tractor is a year round tool that fills so many roles on my homestead. Keep up the good work! Jim
One of the best things we ever did was put a snow blower on our riding lawn mower. We don't have the frequent need of a snow blower in SW Va that you do but those times when it is needed all my neighbors are quite envious and appreciative for the help.
Heath, I got to say that your videos are the best start for the week that I can get. Because of the differences in time zones I always end up watching your videos before work at 7 am. Thanks for the good vibes and the productivity boost!
I don’t usually comment but I wanted to thank Cedar for the really good laugh I got after hearing her response to The leaf blower falling off the roof!🤣
Slip, sliding away, Heath. Can't wait to see what you've done by mid week, coming ahead. I fell off the roof, head first, of my two story house in front of my wife years ago, cutting my chin and hand grabbing the gutter. Bleeding profusely, sprawled in the Juniper bushes I landed and laid in, my wife said:"Look what you did to the gutter!"
A while back you mentioned moving the tool box in the shop and shifting the wood burning stove closer to the concrete. If the concrete has good thermal conductivity, the heat may transfer to the barn and help keep the animals warm. I also thought about a couple of smaller, perpendicular pipes coming off of each side of the chimney on the house roof, running under the solar panels. Maybe they will emit enough heat to rise up and warm the solar panels. All the best to you and your family
I think you need to build yourself a shop next to your shop so you can drive vehicles in to work on them in these cold winter days. We added a 2 post lift and it makes fixing stuff a dream and less energy spent. Get a big skid steer and front mount another amazing video. Thanks for posting. Full watch from Ontario Canada. We are just getting our snow now. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Just wanted to say how much I appreciated the hand written note on the sticker that came with the sweater I ordered! I look forward to seeing your videos at the end of days they come up!
Sigh, my sympathies, Cedar - same problem we had all these years here - Hubby built a huge shop to do what he wanted in, and still no place to park my car out of the weather. 😆
The snowblower is the way to go. Once you plow snow and pile it up, your stuck with the pile. A blower allows you to throw and pile it on itself. A plow and blower each serve a purpose, a wet slushy snow can't alway be blown but plowed out of the way.
Heath, thank you; I finally finished getting my backup generator switch over-circuit installed (myself), and all I need now is the adapter to power my home in an emergency. Shalom!
What a nice place to live. Winter has already started in the Alps weeks ago and your place looks soo familiar to me although its on the other side of the world. Regarding snow-blower - here they are using it all over the palce also because of the limited space (to push the snow away) and because of the amount of snow - similar to what you are facing. I also want to thank you for sharing your life and your familys life with your videos. I have to be tankfull because your videos are also pushing me a bit to get things done and thats more i could hope of at watching the your clips. Its the kind of attitude you and all of your family have (as far as can be judged via the clips) and how you hold the value of family high and in treasure! At the end thats all whats matters. Have a nice Christmas and Happy new year - and once again - thank you.
I use one of those fibergalss and aluminum extension handles for painting and connect it with a push broom head which uses the same acme threads. It works well to brush off the deep snow from my roof mounted solar panels from the ground. It extends to abut 15 feet and they have longer ones.
Great recovery Heath. I now see firsthand the great difficulty the pitch of the ice rink roof is to maintain uprightness. The beauty of the snow can be interfering with whatever goals you may set out to accomplish on a given day. There is a story about safety straps and roofing. An individual decided that he needed a secure way to secure his strap. He came to the conclusion that securing it to a motor vehicle was the best way. One thing he forgot to do. He forgot to tell his wife. She unaware of his decision making got into the auto and began to drive off. The human strapped to the strap was flung off the roof and sustained a few broken bones. So whatever injuries you may incur with your setup is a blessing!🙄🙄
I'm a bit surprised you didn't install anchors along the roof ridges to lock in safety ropes for something like one of those simple Home Depot harness rig. You're in all likelihood going to be on those roofs adjusting the weather vane or cleaning the chimneys, many many times over the years. Stay safe, and Merry Christmas.
I had the same thought! Why was he working on the truck out in the snow when he could have opened the garage door and worked in the (relative) warmth and dry of the shop?
You should consider getting a cb radio for the plow truck (or possibly all your vehicles) and a cb radio for back at home in case you have issues and no cell service.
Heath, I have watched you from the beginning and its amazing to see how hard you have worked and how far you have come. Its awesome to see someones elses labor bloom as well. I was always so busy that i couldnt see what i was accomplishing. Its cool that you have it al recorded and can go back and watch it. I love this channel and hope to see you keep growing and getting better.
I know Heath does not read TH-cam comments anymore but on the off chance he does here is my 2 cents. Clean up the shop, when the next big snow storm is close back in all the cars inside the last being the plow truck. No snow to clean off and the plow truck makes a path with the plow for all the cars as they get pulled out. If you really want to get fancy start fire crack the car windows down a little (no cracking of windshields), clean cars without snow and ready to drive. Think harder not work harder or work hard, think harder.
Heath, you have some very invaluable skills and I love when I watch you and your son work together and watch that knowledge be passed down. Thanks for another incredible video, hope you and your family are safe and toasty warm for the holidays. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
Sure looked like you had a swinging time on that roof ;) Glad ya'll safe anyway. Have a great Christmas. Looking forward to your next video as always. UK
We over here in the uk have not see snow like that for some time where there is hills it allways gets bad but i moved out to oxfordshire and it only gets bad once in a while happy christmas xxxx
I find myself stopping whatever I do to see what's next out at the ranch. You would really be glad to have yourself a good snow blower for the parking area and driveway. My dad bought a snow blower with 3 point connection and PTO driven for his 50 horse Allis Chalmers tractor way back in late fall 1986. He still uses it to this day. It stands about 30 inches high and about 7 ft wide. It has hydraulic adjustable chute to throw snow any direction. He's never regretted buying it. He only has to replace some special sheer bolts every few years or so but it still works like new. No giant snow piles to try to shove bladed snow onto and cuts your removal time way down. 2 passes would easily clear your driveway. Regrettably such a thing would be too slow for the road but sure would help to throw the snow away from the road. Can't wait to see what's next.
I live in the mountains of Virginia, last years snow was so beautiful. Your place is beautiful! I love watching your family and farm animals. Your story felling is relaxing and so informative. Thank you and we hope you have a blessed Christmas.
Was so glad you didn't fall off the roof like you did a few years back. I remember you getting really hurt that time. Whooo. Glad your guardian 😇 Angels took care of you. G-D Bless.
Look into a jagg wing for the plow truck it will cut the amount of trip up and down also keeps the plow truck in the center of the road witch is safer for you , worth checking out , I have no affiliation with the company, just use the product on a f350 , worth every penny . Love this channel just offering help.
Lol. Us gotta love Cedar. I once slipped, getting out of the truck, in the parking lot at the hospital where I work. I slid part way under the truck. I crawled out and immediately looked around to see if any saw that and we're laughing their butts off. Saw no one, thought whew, no one saw that. Went up the elevator and was greeted with laughter when I got off. They saw it all from the third story... 😅 Only my pride was hurt. BU, I somehow saved my Hot Carmel Coffee. Now that was some talent.
back when I was a kidding North Dakota, we took the outside duel off the truck in the winter time, just running a single tire in the snow. a set of chains and that truck went better than any other vehicle on the farm.
The answer to your snow removal dilema is a skid steer with a avalanche blade. Besides, practically anything you can imagine like a snow blower, can be put on the front of a skid steer. You were on the right track, just need a little newer one !
Would a Skid Steer require high flow hydraulics to run a snow blower? I'd think it would...so Heath would need to find a high flow model...plus I think a post hole digger would require high flow as well possibly, but I think where they are at a skid steer with high flow would be perfect for a lot of applications, and the attachment possibilities would be endless with a machine like that....course an excavator would still be great up there too.
@@wildbill23c I'm surprise a big company didn't give him some kind big machine like a Skid Steer... i see it all the time with TH-camrs having like 1 million or more subscribers just saying .
My vote goes for the Snow blower attachment. It will be a huge upgrade and time saver IMO. btw. I was thinking if you had a tarp down on the roof, you could just pull it down and along with all the snow. Oh, well, you got the job done just fine anyway.
Hello from Great Britain, you and your lovely wife are such hard workers, glad you've gotten your roof dried in, hope you and your family have a great Christmas and a happy new year 🎅🎄
Yup, get a blower. I have a angle blade on the front of my Kubota and a 6' snowblower on the 3 PTH. I use the blade to pull the snow away from structures and the blow the snow either right or left into the bush or the fields. A lot more efficient.
@@Beandiptheredneck The 6 foot V-Type snowblower used to be on my TEA-20 Ferguson. Got tired, (old), of sitting on a poen station tractor in the dold and snow.
They sell small 9-12mm long winter studs for bike tires, what you can screw to your shoes too. I made ice walking boots to my 84 years old dad, so he can get his daily news paper from mailbox even at clear icy road to the box. Early winter days and late spring days are very icy at here in Finland too when first/last snow is smelting. Those studs would work at icy flywood too, but also may ruin plastic water cover. Stay safe and use safety harnest when working at roofs and Merry Christmas to all. 👍
Thinking out loud heath, you should embed a couple of big concrete blocks with hooks in the ground along the driveway from the road to the landing. That way if you were on your own and we’re stuck you could have winch points to get up to the top
Heath, when people talk of providing and protecting, I always feel a nudge to ask them to watch Red Poppy Ranch. I have watched the channel since the time you put the foundations for now what is the shop. You make me feel inadequate, but in a good way. I pray that God protects and keeps you and your wonderful family, Cedar and the children, well. Merry Christmas.
I suggest a temporary roof over that genny. Do what you can while you're waiting on the weather to finish the one you're on. Love your channel, and every lecture of hard-earned experience that come with it. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
JudithB We got some sleet in Ark today and a few flakes--all south of us of course!! I have days when I dont want to do anything, so I just cozy up in my chair and read all day! The next I am ready to tackle projects again! I love to mow the yards, probably with as much pleasure as you have plowing the driveway!!! LOL!
The snow spills off the sides of a plow normally, but yeah, a blower is really a must in places like that, there's only so much plowing you can do before your road begins closing in on you because a plow can't throw the snow far enough away. Even the snow blower on my lawn tractor will throw snow 10-20 feet away depending on the angle of the chute and wind. What would he mount a snow blower on though? He doesn't have any PTO equipped or Hydraulic equipped machines to run one.
@@wildbill23c, Heath said he was looking at blowers that would mount on the quad/four wheeler. So not a huge one. From how he was talking, it sounds like he just wants it for clearing around the house/shop and the driveway, not for the road itself.
@@ang_131 I guess he don't realize how much those things weigh, how cumbersome they are, and after using one once he'll quickly realize they're not as great as it sounds...you not only have to feed the ATV engine, you have to feed the snow blower engine too. Unless he wises up and buys a new UTV that actually is built for work, like the Kubota RTV X1100c which has a PTO and accepts a snow blower or snow broom. I think Bobcat may have something similar as well. Otherwise those ATV blowers are extremely expensive for no better than they are. He'd be better off with a UTV that has a PTO, or buy a compact tractor and snow blower.
Yes, a blower attachment for your ATV would be a good addition. A friend who has one, has about the same size property around your home, barn and parking/lane areas. He swears by it. His is on a large Cub Cadet lawn tractor.
Thought we had a bit of snow when I brought the dogs out for their last walk of the night but then realised it was where I was cutting some foam insulation earlier in the day and bits had gone over the garden furniture
Have you thought of using Ratchet straps on the rear wheels of the dually to get Back up your driveway. I know they sell them on Amazon. They are easy to put on and take off. The brand is treadready.
Hey you. Yes, I watched the broadcast, but 5 hours later. I really enjoyed it even though I usually do not like live broadcasts, because they are too late for me. You wanted to know where I was from, so I'm from Israel. I always admire the size of the USA and the possibilities of finding a suitable place to establish a farm. Unfortunately we do not have a suitable place for this. Have a happy new year and a happy holiday to the whole TH-camr family that expands from month to month. Thank you very much and kisses 💚
What a beautiful time of the year it is in North Idiho. Stunning and very cold. Here I am in a heat wave in Australia but again it is beautiful and stunning here. Ive traveled to see my twin sister and mother one of my sons and daughter also my four beautiful grand children. I am a very happy grandmother and Just had my fifth grandchild a few mths back. I pray to our father in heaven that all of you have a safe and happy healthy Christmas and that your family be blessed. Sending love from the Land Down Under. xxx PS Can you Please send us some snow in the post to cool us down over here. xxxHeath your beard looks lovely and tidy, not that it didn`t before but I noticed a nice trim on you there!
Add a boy that was a good save you did real good at keeping from coming off the top of that building we're proud of you just next time be safe or and don't fall please because we love to watch your Videos

Its a good thing you built that warm shop to work on vehicles in when its cold and snowy out.
There is a scene near the end when you are looking at the new roof of the barn and the sky is so blue overhead - it is a perfect setup for a photo of your property!
GREAT SAVE!!! It hurts to fall when it's cold BUT it hurts more the older we get!!!!!
Buddy, you remind me of me 40 years ago. Just as soon as spring was near, I was outside. I always knew that certain things had to be done before winter arrived - but never got around to it until I was running late. Then the rush was on. One spring, I decided to do the winter prep first - starting with firewood. Best decision of my life.
I have to say, even covered in snow that is still one of the finest fences I have ever seen!! What an amazingly beautiful homestead ya'll have created! Many blessing and a Merry Christmas to your family!!!
It made me smile seeing your pup playing in the snow. I had to lay my pup to rest last weekend and he liked the snow. He got to tracking something with his nose and found himself in front of a Silverado. He was my dude and I miss him dearly.
.So sorry for your loss
never a happy time losing your pup friend. My condolences . Been there done that... too many times.
So sorry for your loss. I know how we love our buddies.
When I moved to Canada, I learned something simple and clever... when snow or freezing rain was anticipated, you pull up your wipers and let them stick up in the air. Now when you clean your windshield they are out of the way and never stuck. ;)

Here in northern mn I’ve done and tried every possible combination of snow removal equipment there is. I finally settled on a 40hp. compact loader tractor with a cab and a 74” snowblower. I use the loader to back drag the s ow away from the buildings and then turn around and blow it out of there. By far the best investment I ever made and the tractor is a year round tool that fills so many roles on my homestead. Keep up the good work! Jim

While I am cozy and warm watching this I am still shivering with you. 😂 Enjoyed date night!! Many blessings to all 🙏💕☃️
It's always comforting to see progress being made on any large project. I guess it makes my own stuff seem doable.
I’m with Cedar! Protect the blower at all cost! Sarcasm, of course. Glad you’re ok.

😂😂😂 I’m in the Cedar club as well 😄😄😄
Removing the snow from the solar panels will be interesting.

I made ice walking boots to my 84 years old dad, so he can get his daily news paper from mailbox even at clear icy road to the box. Early winter days and late spring days are very icy at here in Finland too when first/last snow is smelting. Those studs would work at icy flywood too, but also may ruin plastic water cover. Stay safe and use safety harnest when working at roofs and Merry Christmas to all. 👍
what a save.
Oh my word!! Glad you are safe! I laughed when you looked at the camera when safe….
I live in area where I get snow like u, I use to plow, now I snow blow and love it! No turned grass, and no pesky win rows
Plowing snow fun😮 Never thought I would ever hear that.
You couldn't have pianned that slide better. Big smile too.
Thinking out loud heath, you should embed a couple of big concrete blocks with hooks in the ground along the driveway from the road to the landing. That way if you were on your own and we’re stuck you could have winch points to get up to the top
Heath, when people talk of providing and protecting, I always feel a nudge to ask them to watch Red Poppy Ranch. I have watched the channel since the time you put the foundations for now what is the shop. You make me feel inadequate, but in a good way. I pray that God protects and keeps you and your wonderful family, Cedar and the children, well. Merry Christmas.
Yip Heath, that sure a fine building you have there, to pull your truck up along side in the Winter weather to fix something! Yes Sir.🤣
Too bad you don't have a shop to work in- warm & dry. Lol
Heath, we are watching you. 🤗 You‘re agile like a mountain lion!
Evening guys watching from the uk 🇬🇧
Be safe be well and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
I suggest a temporary roof over that genny. Do what you can while you're waiting on the weather to finish the one you're on. Love your channel, and every lecture of hard-earned experience that come with it. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
You were having way too much fun on that roof! 😂😂😂
JudithB We got some sleet in Ark today and a few flakes--all south of us of course!! I have days when I dont want to do anything, so I just cozy up in my chair and read all day! The next I am ready to tackle projects again! I love to mow the yards, probably with as much pleasure as you have plowing the driveway!!! LOL!
God bless, b safe love dropping in on you all since the beginning you have come so far!
After watching the video I think the snow blower is a good idea. It looked like to much snow was spilling out of the sides using the plow.
The snow spills off the sides of a plow normally, but yeah, a blower is really a must in places like that, there's only so much plowing you can do before your road begins closing in on you because a plow can't throw the snow far enough away. Even the snow blower on my lawn tractor will throw snow 10-20 feet away depending on the angle of the chute and wind. What would he mount a snow blower on though? He doesn't have any PTO equipped or Hydraulic equipped machines to run one.
@@wildbill23c, Heath said he was looking at blowers that would mount on the quad/four wheeler. So not a huge one. From how he was talking, it sounds like he just wants it for clearing around the house/shop and the driveway, not for the road itself.
@@ang_131 I guess he don't realize how much those things weigh, how cumbersome they are, and after using one once he'll quickly realize they're not as great as it sounds...you not only have to feed the ATV engine, you have to feed the snow blower engine too. Unless he wises up and buys a new UTV that actually is built for work, like the Kubota RTV X1100c which has a PTO and accepts a snow blower or snow broom. I think Bobcat may have something similar as well. Otherwise those ATV blowers are extremely expensive for no better than they are. He'd be better off with a UTV that has a PTO, or buy a compact tractor and snow blower.
Yes, a blower attachment for your ATV would be a good addition. A friend who has one, has about the same size property around your home, barn and parking/lane areas. He swears by it. His is on a large Cub Cadet lawn tractor.
Oh my word!!! Glad you are ok!! I just laughed when you looked at the camera!!
Your place looks so beautiful with the snow
Your property is absolutely beautiful! Y'all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Can't wait to see the next video!
You would love a snow blower, makes things so much cleaner and easier. Stay safe and have a wonderful Christmas.
That there at 4 mins IN is pure TH-cam GOLD.
Thought we had a bit of snow when I brought the dogs out for their last walk of the night but then realised it was where I was cutting some foam insulation earlier in the day and bits had gone over the garden furniture
Have you thought of using Ratchet straps on the rear wheels of the dually to get Back up your driveway. I know they sell them on Amazon. They are easy to put on and take off. The brand is treadready.
Look at all that snow! So jealous!!
You had the awareness to drop the broom and grab the strap. Nice save. Thank goodness you're ok.
Man it is to bad there is not a shed that you could work on that old truck out of the snow and weather. You should build one someday.
So glad, that’s a lot of snow! Love you guys! Merry Christmas!
When the metal is on, try a cheap 4” foam pad. They don’t slide on the metal, and provide traction. Hope this helps :)
Every photo shot is a perfect Christmas card image 👌💗
Hey you. Yes, I watched the broadcast, but 5 hours later. I really enjoyed it even though I usually do not like live broadcasts, because they are too late for me. You wanted to know where I was from, so I'm from Israel. I always admire the size of the USA and the possibilities of finding a suitable place to establish a farm. Unfortunately we do not have a suitable place for this. Have a happy new year and a happy holiday to the whole TH-camr family that expands from month to month. Thank you very much and kisses 💚
What a beautiful time of the year it is in North Idiho. Stunning and very cold. Here I am in a heat wave in Australia but again it is beautiful and stunning here. Ive traveled to see my twin sister and mother one of my sons and daughter also my four beautiful grand children. I am a very happy grandmother and Just had my fifth grandchild a few mths back. I pray to our father in heaven that all of you have a safe and happy healthy Christmas and that your family be blessed. Sending love from the Land Down Under. xxx PS Can you Please send us some snow in the post to cool us down over here. xxxHeath your beard looks lovely and tidy, not that it didn`t before but I noticed a nice trim on you there!
Add a boy that was a good save you did real good at keeping from coming off the top of that building we're proud of you just next time be safe or and don't fall please because we love to watch your Videos
I totally agree well said.
To much fun sliding of the roof. :) Have as safe, Happy Christmas and New Year.
