I've been watching your channel for a couple of years now. I started because I wanted information on portable mills (one of which I have since purchased) but I find that more and more I am enjoying a way of life that I never really knew existed or forgotten. I grew up in upstate New York on a couple hundred acres but as kids we were all told that our best destiny was in the city, programming computers or something like that. I spent 30 years in school and/or chasing money and jobs up and down the east coast. It has taken more years than I care to admit for me to re/discover a more fulfilling way of life. I haven't fired my poor old Marlin in decades. Sigh. Thanks again for being a decent guy, raising a solid family and reminding people, especially those of us who have lost something in the distractions of modern life, that there are more important things than smart phones and Netflix. It has taken me a long time to remember who I am and your example is a candle in the darkness.
Wonderful comment Louis... I agree , this channel is great 👍👍. Keep chasing your hopes & dreams and I hope you have peace and tranquility ,,, sounds like you have earned it.....

I bought a cabin in East Tennessee and starting about four years ago, each Christmas we’ve had trouble finding nice trees, I paid $300 last year for a 12 footer. It’s getting so crazy, I’ve been planting three trees each spring, hopefully on 5-7 more years I’ll never have to buy one again.
As a retired firefighter I say well done cleaning your chimney. It is one of the easy thing to do to prevent your house from going up in flames. To my eye, you did a bang up job. From experience I can tell you , looking down a chimney with the residue on fire is like looking down into the jaws of hell. That fire was put out with no serious damage to the chimney, or house itself, but I've been to other fires where the home owners weren't so lucky. Again, well done.
Good to hear that from a pro, Jim. This chimney did catch fire about 3 years ago. Thankfully it was not a serious one and did no damage. Left me with a healthy respect for creosote buildup though.
Love the music, what did we ever do before the leaf blower, even use mine to clean the garage, do a lot of woodwork for hobby stuff and the sawdust and dust are all over the place. Works like a charm. Enjoy your son in the videos, nice seeing him grow up as time goes along. Cheers my friend.
Good video. I like the use of silicone on the wire nuts. I use it whenever there's a chance of wet connections. It's enjoyable watching you and Junior together. Treasure those times, soon he'll be a teenager and won't want to hang out with Dad. Such is life. God Bless.
You did a great job on your chimney the first time that was more than clean enough from those pictures you don’t need a company to clean your fireplace great job 👏
Beagles are a great dog & really good with kids. My oldest son's 1st dog was a Beagle, he was his 1st bday present. Not everyone likes the sound of a Beagle baying but it's a sound I really miss. They do like to roam/wander & once their nose hits a scent... let's just say they have a mind of their own.😁 Underground fencing didn't work with ours, I hope you have more success than we did. They're prone to hip dysplasia when they get old. Our last Beagle (we had 2) died of old age 11 yrs ago & aside from babysitting our son's Coon Hound, I just can't bring myself to adopt another one. Such great dogs though. I really hope Cricket brings as much joy to your family as our Butch & Louis brought to us.
Like your intro music sang this old hymn many times in church, Lil man is a good helper he's right there on it enjoy your videos here from southern NC tc brother be safe 👍
seriously, it should be illegal to be that cute. There should literally be a law stating that extreme cuteness is punishable by law. He looks exactly like his daddy.
Something to do every day on the farm. The little gizmo worked to find the break so it was worth the $50 even if you only use it once or twice. Looking forward to the next video already.
@Fall Line Ridge - I really love how you work with your son. When he is ones older then you he will remember all these things. You are a very good father and i wish i had one too. My dad had never time for me and i remember no time when he was working with me. Only ones for a car. That was all. He had very lose hands and i lot of blue places on my body.
Mike, that's a rough story brother. Sadly I think a lot of people have the same story. Reminds me of the story of the two men who had an abusive father. One of them grew up to be very abusive himself. Someone asked him what happened, he said, "I watched my dad." The other one grew up to be a loving and kind father. Someone asked him why he was that way and he said, "I watched my dad." I was blessed myself to have a great dad, I hope to pass that down to my own son. Thanks for watching, Mike!
@@falllineridge Oh i'm a loving father too because i also watched my dad. I would do everything for my 3 kids. All love i have is for them and they are the most important thing for me.
I use to climb up on the roof twice a year to clean the clay liner, using the fireplace. Pain in the neck! 8 years ago I had a fireplace insert installed with a 6” stainless steel liner. I burn well seasoned firewood and haven’t had any creosote build up and the Insert drafts excellent! Now I clean the 6” pipe once a year and only a small residue of powder comes down.👍
I really enjoy your channel. I live in Vermont and currently doing a collaboration here with another Christian homesteader up here. Wish you were closer I’d love to do a video with you.
I used to use a cool cable meter at a previous job. You could connect it to the one end and it would tell you how many feet out the break was. You would just use a locator and pace it off then dig down and there would be the break. Your little rig was not as fast but it certainly did the trick.
I'm just a dude who has lived in NYC his whole life, but I love this channel and the vids. Just seriously relaxing to watch and inspiring to get some land and live the slower life which is somewhat of a misnomer as this lifestyle is still alot of work. Even moreso than the stressful city life.,
Low cost versus cheap...in this case it is cheap...and not what a chick says. But one can not argue with success so its all good! I would take out the batteries until you need them again to prevent damage in case the batteries leak as they get older. Great video Wes, thumbs up.
Wes --- that rust (sorry - tin) roof looks like it could use a coat of phosphate rich paint followed by some kind of resilient weatherproof coating.... The phosphate paint will chemically bond with the rust to make an iron phosphate protective coating and prevent further penetration of the corrosive process... Gary
Curious to know how you think the cable broke? With a gap like that, doesn’t seem like it was cut but rather pulled and happened to snap at that point. My PS fence wire is really tough and has only been cut by the cable service putting in lines - twice! ❤️🐝🐝 in Northern IL. Thanks for your vids!
It was cut when they put in a fiber optic cable. I told them to do it because it was the easiest thing to do...but I honestly thought that was a second break. I was just using that break as a practice so I'd know how to find the original one. Was pleasantly surprised.
First, I am way up near the Canadian border in New York State. Our Christmas trees are pine or spruce trees. What are the trees you are pruning? They look like ferns. How close am I? Love the video and your little helper.
We used some stuff that we put on the fire and that would clean the chimney, but you have done a good job as tar is not easy to remove. You're gizmo grid the trick so............
Glad to see cricket on the loose again and I hope you have good luck selling your Christmas trees this year your little helper will make a great salesman I think..lol thanks for sharing your videos with us and God bless!
I used a portable AM radio as a sniffer and it took like 1 hr on a 3 acre property to find the break, and 5 minutes to fix it. But I'm all ahead of the curve 'cause that's the kind of guy I am don'tcha know.
I originally started watching this channel for the sawmill but it seems to be slowly (or rather not so slowly) turning into "Random chores around the property" channel...of which I don't need to watch because I can do my own chores first person. I however do not own a sawmill.
Hey Tech, yeah the milling has been put on the back burner for now. Other priorities have come along. I've got some logs that need to be cut, and am planning on doing it next month. I'll make some milling videos then. Sorry about that.
I subscribed a week or so ago because of your son who is the cutest kid on YT (trust me, they grow up waaaayyy too fast. My wife and I have two grown boys..lol) and, the dog made me glad I did... lol... Anyway, we just got 91 acres and have the same problem with our pup. I was looking at those GPS virtual fence rigs where you can set your fence on your phone and I assume its almost unlimited as to the size of the area you can create. They are VERY expensive but, was wondering if you had heard anything about them. As with most anything, I have read both good and bad and sure as heck am not going to invest that much money on something that is hit or miss at best. Thanks!
We’ve been on the fence about a Xmas tree, real ( I love) or fake. This year they are going to be $$. I don’t know how far you are from Hendersonville NC but I’d like to come by a tree from you.
Run some quick, hot fires in your stove to help eliminate the creosote. With a well made chimney with ceramic clay liners a chimney fire cleans them out. Close supervision required. Don't shut yer dang stove down so much. Beagle looked happy to get out. I used to have a Beagle, prefer cats by a far margin. One day the Beagle will figure out that a dead run over the wire is freedom to follow it's nose. Then the wire keeps him out. Could be a blessing. Cute puppy, though.

@@falllineridge thanks for the info, cypress don't grow any place I have lived before. You use what is available near you, I have even seen Palm trees used.
I made a chimney cap for my chimney pretty close to the design you have. I had a 15 foot steel rod with abscraperbthatbI welded on to the end of thebrodnandbusedbthatbto scrape out the creosote from the ceramic liner in the chimney. My scraperbacted like your hoe but it was 15 feet long. I would bend the rod to one side if the chimney putting pressure on the scraper, which I kep pretty sharp. I like how the English used to do it - cut a bunch of Holly and pull it up and down the chimney with a rope to remove the creosote. A metal detector should find your buried wire.

Good grief that's pricey! Wise choice on planting your own.
The blower is one of my favorites. Cleans sidewalks fast and easy. Hope the beagle stays in this time. Cute son, will be a good helper.

Very interesting video. Such a sweet little boy, take good care of him.
That was some luck finding the break, Littleman is getting big. Awesome family take care my friend and stay safe god bless

Like finding a needle in a haystack… with SCIENCE!
I prefer to think of it as wire dowsing' with an electronic dowsing' 'stick'. Gary
What a cutie that begal
A good Southern Civil War song or as we call it where I am from - the war of northern aggression.
I dont know what it is thats so satisfying about blowing leaves off a roof and out of gutters!
You would never have found it without that heavy equipment helper at your side.
If you attach the probe to a broom handle you can use it more easily instead of swinging it like a pendulum. 👍

Thanks, Craig. It's definitely cheap...but I can't argue with the results.
Good to see you guys😊. M. Belinda Davis in NC
NC here too 😁👍
Might be a good idea to remove the batteries when you are storing it
Suggestions...Next time use a piece of rebar & may I suggest to you that you run your electric lines through PC pipes.

Agree with you, it's past due.
I guess I haven’t been watching that long, because I do not remember the beagle
They make waterproof heat shrink wire connectors for that.
Love the song leaning
Its the only thing we can do is lean on Jesus
Were those batteries “Everreedy” or “Dare-a-sell”? 😉
Thumbs up!

They are Murray Cypresses. The spruce trees that most people associate with Christmas trees just don't grow here.
I always give a thumbs up, but this time I did it for the little guys request.
You might be $$$ ahead to prime and paint that roofing!

are you going to do any more lumber milling. i always enjoyed those in addition to the non lumber vlogs
Hey Dan, yes I plan to do some milling next month. Other priorities have come along so that's been on the back burner.

I do the same thing with am AM radio!
I did some research before I bought this thing and did see the Am radio/lawn mower method. I wimped out and got the store-bought gizmo.
Have you tried or heard of rocket stoves? They're supposed to produce very little or no creosote.
