- In this video, I catch up on all the small projects that I've been falling behind on over the past few months. Before moving onto some bigger projects, I wanted to catch up on cleaning my gutters, drains, wood stove, garage, front deck, and more!
Thanks for watching!

I appreciate your attitude towards your home and the chores that support its maintenance. You are extremely meticulous. Everything has its time and place. Well done!
Something to consider with your generator. Look into picking up an additional cap for your generator and do the extended run mod to it. With this you can then hook up a 5-6 gallon boat fuel tank and hook it up to your new cap. Just fill your genny up, screw on the new cap, prime the line from the boat tank to your genny to burp the air out of the line with the bulb that should come with the tank.
Now, you can run the genny for days without needing to fill it as often. The boat tank is usually easier to fill as well as you can just fill it when you go into town or with your extra fuel stash. The genny tank will stay full, and as it draws down while running, it syphons fuel from the boat tank.
I would convert it to propane and have it attached to a large tank. Kits are pretty cheap and you don't need to worry about maintaining the fuel.
Enjoyed watching you work! You are so organized and NEAT.
That’s awesome you have great neighbors. Looks like you guys help each other .
That soil behind the wood pile was Black Gold. Use that in the garden or sell it to your neighbors. Maybe move the wood and plant some fruit trees there.
Well done Diego. I so much love your attitude towards house chores. I am just like you, love doing house chores. You are very hard working and that's impacting me in a good way. You have a new subscriber 👍
I like your contents. Actually the one s with neighbour AI
your filming is amazing nice job
You can use landscape timbers to build a woodshed and they are a lot cheaper than 4x4s and are treated
love the channel. many blessings to you brother.God bless
Don't forget to clean out your stove pipes. When you are done with it for the winter.
I have met three of your neighbours they are great, you are there for each others. I love that, the way it should be certainly is not that way today. I am impressed with you taking such good care of your home. I never make other peoples business mine. I must say it make me feel good when I see people appreciate what they have taken care of it, it means they appreciate what they have. The saying goes it could be here today gone tomorrow. It also means you are happy with life with what you have in life because you are taking care of it. I think with you it’s a labour of love. You appreciate what you have show that appreciation by taking care of it. You don’t waste time complaining like you dread what needs to be done you just get at it get it done. You are every women’s dream because you are so articulate on how you do things, it has to be done right, you are neat, tidy, do a great job. I just came across your videos recently I enjoy them very much. I live on my own burn wood so have a lot of the very same things to do as you do. I live on a mountain out in the country by a lake. I live alone therefore what needs to be done I do it inside, out. I am certainly not complaining I choose my life. I love my life. You choose your life, I think it makes a difference when you make the choice. Thanks for sharing, you’re never boring as you are always up to something.
Diego I have to say I really enjoy your channel and the no nonsense approach you have to doing things! You are thorough and also very neat and tidy as well….my compliments. It’s so nice to see a clean and organized home,no matter where it is! ❤
I know i'm late but i got a small tip you could also use few stones in your stove that could hold the warmth for a time when the fire dies as the stone will then still have warmth
I really enjoy you videos. You are always learning and doing a great job. Please, please get a metal ash can!!
Gutter guards or screens really work.
I really enjoy your channel. One kind suggestion is a little white teflon tape on the threads before screwing together a P-Trap/drain will save you some headaches later. Ask me how I know (lol).
Epic woodshed build c’mon do it 😀😀
I love that door!! beautiful..
DUDE! I just came across this video and man I LOVE everything you've done in this video! Like all these chores and up keep fits me perfectly! I really want to buy land and build a cabin or barn cause buying a house now is ridiculous! So thank you for recording these videos man. They help a lot!
Love your videos.
If America had a million more "kids" just like you we would be better off. I say kids because my own kids are older than you.
Keep up the good work. God bless
Good morning. Have a great week.
Love what you’re plan for the wood shed was gonna be and what it is now is fire
Rechargeable blower works great on pine needles on roof. Much easier and faster. Can get them from big-box stores. Ryobi, etc.
Good seeing you, taking such good care of your equipment,& cabin. Well done Diego.💯👍🏾😀🫶🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Tks for video. I'm watching current ones ,then will go to older ones. Glad to have found your channel
Something to note, you can buy kits to convert your Honda generator to run on natural gas/propane. I can see that next to your generator box you already have a gas hot water heater, may be something to look into.
As others have commented, you need a nice wood shed. DO IT!…….LOL
Nice sharing your videos, I enjoy them all!
Keep up, your work, everything positive in life!
I was laughing thinking yeah, just get on the roof. Lol
Ditch the funnels and lifting by using a transfer pump. Works great.
You are a wonderful, dynamic, creative person. I really like your work. You are a wonderful, dynamic and creative person. I really like your work in addition to being made of environmentally friendly wood. I wish you good health and success. I will always Stay with you.
Thank you for an Honest review on the chores you need to do on your cabin, as for a wood shed, you have lots of trees on your property, , find some trees in a location close to your Cabin, and use some branches to link the trees together so using the trees as the uprights, use a Tarp for waterproof shelter then a layer of branches across for strengthen the roof. you could do several smaller ones so when you cut or down trees, place them under cover in the area you are in, and if ever you pass the area in your truck just throw a few logs and replace your used stash in the shed near your cabin.
On a DRY day…..That may not happen too many times in your area of the Northwest….. You can get a leaf blower and you can do that job in about 15 minutes, gutters as well
35:59 😮 this is a perfect scenario to build out a google sheet dashboard! Or just to create a google sheet, which you could also kinda of track the daily temp, gas consumption, all kinds of data! This of course would be me, you do you!
For sure you don't need walls. Most of my neighbors just do a tarp over wood pile and that works. Not staked or anything just some weights tinhodk it. I likd the idea of a floor and roof with open walls just for permanence.
what an awesome video, thank you for sharing! its always nice seeing someone cleaning up and getting small tasks done. i would like to see those kind of videos 2-6 times a year, would be cool
I hate those pine needle chores too. Three gutter and deck cleans this winter for me
I just love your little paradise! I wished we had more of you lol cause it’s just always interesting what your building or fixing plus the cooking anyways it’s looking good outside be safe and hope to see ya soon!
I see on camping or cabin vacation is a ton of fan , a lot of many things to do . Diego you are so occupy all of time please relax is your beautiful cabin to enjoy , i see you help your old neighbor friend is great i like it. you videos is for relax and enjoy the beautiful area forest, love you videos. we wish you great success.
Good video. Post and beam with a roof is best price. Even use tree logs with burnt ends in the ground for lowest price
See you on the next one, Thanks Diego. Watching your content all the way from South Africa❤
Great stuff nate, from Perth Western Australia!!!
Great Job Pete!!!
Leaf blower for the pin needles... you got plenty of batteries...😮
I love your chores . You give me so many tips.
Dude I’ve been watching you for a while in Sydney. Love the channel!
You and Al should go fishing for Bull trout and hunting for Morels.
very interesting video and good tips, thank you
You should put old tire on that axe stump, so those logs don't flying around when you hit them. Saves your back also.
So much work to do.but you get it. Greetings
It’s funny to hear you say retro gaming then say sony because I was around when the first ever Nintendo came out and the swag master system one 😂
Consider getting a backpack stihl blower one day, ez job for those pine needles. Cool vids g
Great video!
I enjoy your channel. Just watching the gutter and snow block series-question-why don't you have something like gutter guard? Would the needles just go through the leaf guard? What about the Japanese system of an open system of dripping down chains and just a board to steer water to the chain? Or do you capture any rainwater? What you have is really nice for your house.
Hav you ever considered building a wind generator?...I'd consider sider a vertical vane generator....theres a many TH-cam DIY videos to do that!
Neighbor Al's water wheel generator would be a model example to work with..,..
The burnt coals are great for compost.
Check out Shoes For Crews for your next roof top cleaning. Their shoes stop on a dime that's sitting on an ice rink. Also, would a leaf blower save you some time?
Diego... Consider lowering your gutters. The outer part of your gutter should be lower than the sheet metal roof. If a 2x4 sliding down hits the gutter, it's too high.
tip bike inatube around a couple of logs put tight split the wood you will still have a neet stack after
In the future, I see You, on your roof, with a leaf blower. 5 min. and done. Porch floor and Shop roof too.
Sup bro, no worries of having a termite issue with the 🪵 on the porch? Great content 👍🏿
A leaf blower would make it quick work of the roof cleaning
Hey Diego , when are you going to build your wood shed ?
Nice faucet!!! Delta?
Nice video's. I just subscribed to your channel 2 weeks ago and I like it a lot, just a question. The extension ladder you use to get on the roof, to me it looks like you use it upside down?
You need a blower for your roof.
Using a blower really helps
I never seen the ( not sure what to call it ) the desk you were sitting at with the computer on which must have been put there after that room was finished.
hey diego i actually have a suggetion for you
i would really reccomend you to start doing livestream for example when your chopping wood with your axe just turn the camera on and start a live it would definetley attract more people to your chanell but more importantley livestreams get in a lot of money. so you could just earn more money while doing that what you doing anyway
Diego, what do you do for a living??😊😊😊
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You need another garage/barn!!! Also add on a room for your work out equipment!! ✅✅
When you get a bit older.....would you look at getting a log splitter?
Can you add screening to the french drains?
Get a good electric Blower so handy
Wouldnt a powerful leaf blower be more efficient to clean the roof when standing on the roof?
When are you gonna put solar power to run the lights and some of the power in the cabin
A blower no time
Won’t a leaf blower work better when dry?
Get a old trailer tire put your wood in it that your going to split, once you hit it the logs will all stay together
Would a blower not clear off all that stuff on the roof?
Can’t you use a battery powered leaf blower to clean off the roof?
battery powered fuel pumps from the zon are great. $16
Blow roof with leaf blower?
some dry weather and a leaf blower would done that roof and ground in a few sec
when was your cabin built?
you have to split your wood in a car tire. Then you don't always have to pick the wood up from the ground.
How about a blower to clean up the roof?
Are most of your neighbors off-grid as well?
Gutter guards are kinda a scam, because they will also eventually get full. The difference being, it takes 3x the effort to clean gutter guards.
This company EZ POUR makes gas can nozzles that don't suck like all the new epa mandated stuff. Worth every penny. I can drain 5 gallons in a minute or less.
Gutter guards???
Do you live there all year round?
Where is the video from the Lovely Julia visit
When do you rest.
Maybe, if you have o blower, it would be a little easier and faster.❤
خويي انا من يوم عرفت قناتك وانت بس تكسر خشب مامليت شوي؟ جبلك مدفأة كهربائة تعمل بالطاقة الشمسية وأرتاح.😂
I'd buy a hydraulic log splitter.
Get that stove fix it up and install it in your home.
Why do I all the sudden want to clean my house? 😅
