Hey Matthew 👋 and thank you for commenting. im looking forward to the kiln build too, no idea just how it will turn out just yet but im gonna give it a go. Thank you and happy new year 🥳
Ohhh. Now we are hooked.. I love the kiln builds and watching good people succeed and grow.. might I suggest putting the kiln outside to make room for the next kiln.. you have some valuable storage and work space there ..
I love watching other peoples kiln builds too but surprisingly there isnt that many out there. The reason im going inside with this one is because i have no fencing or security around the property and allowing the container to be inside will allow me to leave the kiln full and burning without risk of anyone tampering with it or stealing the wood which could happen in my area. I understand your view but just now it isnt feasable to have any asset out in the open. Thank you for commenting buddy, take it easy 👍
Wow that building is huge an it looks like you will have plenty of inside room . With all the rain you guys get i would think a kiln is a must have . Dry lumber pays better than green lumber an the same thing with firewood .
Thank you very much Phil, the building is a fair size but you know as well as me, bigger building means more stuff inside it. Yes a kiln is quite important for our rainy climate, we never seem to have proper seasons and its difficult to dry firewood or finished timber when it rains all the time. Happy new year buddy 👍
😂 i had to think when you said set the parking brake, i was thinking about a sort of brake on the splitter to stop it from wandering off. I have some off cuts of firewood at the other yard that works a treat for the wheel chocks. Thank you and happy new year buddy 🥳
Thank you very much Evan, happy new year to you and your family. Yes its made a dent in the water drainage now but still needs a bit more work to the ground around it. All the best buddy 👍
Hey buddy and thank you as always, i know what needs doing, a new roof is urgently required but funds are a little too stretched at the moment. I need a drainage trough putting in that side really, that would help the whole situation for sure. Thank you again buddy 👍 and happy new year 🥳
Hey Nick, happy new year. Sitting here uploading a video for Monday while watching you try to drain the lake. That little chinesium excavator works pretty good. Definitely better than a pick and shovel. Everything is so ridiculously expensive now, keep moving forward my friend
Thank you very much buddy, i need to gather all yours into a none stop playlist and ill binge watch your videos, ive started to add mine into years and from start to finish so someone can binge watch me if they ever feel bored 😆 Sure does beak a pick and spade for sure. Things never seem to come back down though, always going up but never down. Stay safe buddy and thank you again, happy new year 👍
Hi Dave and thank you, happy new year to you too pal. I hope 2024 treats you well. I havent thought about a Patreon Page because i dont think many would bother and its never something i have done. I guess im kind of selfish and dont always know how to receive kindness from others. Thank you again buddy 👍
Well, I guess I spoke too soon about wishing for flat land in your other video LoL. Maybe my hills and slopes are alright. Looking good Nick happy new year,
😆 yes at least on a hill side you have natural drainage and no problem of sitting water as such. Flat land is good but requires man made grade to stop water etc, not ideal as such 😂 Happy new year to you too buddy 🥳
Wouldn't sweat the drainage too much, as long as you got access to the digger you can make ditches as needed & clear them every so often. May not even need pipe for that bottom bit if its a good fall. Once you patch the roof on the tin building I'd hold back on spending more on it for the time being, maybe look to add a new building in the long run on a proper concrete base. Come summer it'll all look a lot better & be a lot easier with the long nights. Best of luck anyway & happy New year.
hey buddy and thanks for commenting. I take your advice, the area is low at the moment and once a generous layer of hardcore would be laid down and packed down then the area wouldnt have many low spots any more. Just with all the roofs and the guttering, the water will have to go somewhere but i may be able to put in a 4" man hole drain pipe and divert that water off the property. Who knows, its all early days with a massive adventure ahead of me. Another building will definitely be on the cards with a good solid concrete base to work out of. Thank you for your support, take it easy buddy, all the best 👍
@@everydaywithmenick look into making soakaways: dig a pit & fill it with rubble, broken bricks ideal. Plastic crate type even better but if you on a budget rubble will last a few years.
@@papalegba6796 yeah like a french drain style ? did a big hole and fill in with gravel etc ? I dont know how far down this hardcore goes 😂 Thanks for the suggestion 👍
@@everydaywithmenick that the traditional & cheapest way, but you can get plastic crate soakaways specially designed for it now, last longer & more efficient. If you line the pit with permeable membrane it helps prevent it silting up, but that another expense you can avoid short term. Thing is, if you got access to a digger keeping up on drainage will not be a problem, them things magic lol.
@@papalegba6796 i know what you mean now, just took my brain to have a little think what you were on about. theyre like 12" square boxes arent they ? just like culvert or perforated pipe, it would need a membrane around it all for fines etc. Yeah whilst ive got a digger i may as well use it to keep making the drainage better or clearer. Thanks again buddy 👍
That's machine certainly likes to walk about just like mine does I put mine up on a pallet as its a bit lower than urs and I button for and aft the wheels lol
Hey Steve, yes i need to make some chocks for the wheels so they remain in place when im splitting, i thought about making some sort of brake for it too but ill just put chocks behind the wheels. Its only the return momentum that is sending it backwards. Thank you for commenting buddy 👍
Hi Nick. Congrats on your new yard. Wow what potential! Also that log splitter looks the business, where did you get that, I could use one of those. Keep the vids coming.
Hey Russell and thank you for commenting, thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately the splitter is no longer in production and it is a shame because its a great machine with enough power to split the knottiest of woods. I have been thinking about getting the parts reverse engineered or working in a similar way. I like the clutch design over direct drive to a pinion gear onto the rack. The Super Split splitter is the next best one from what i can see on the internet. Thank you again 👍
Hi Roland and thanks for commenting, the splitter is called Jansen FS35 kinetic log splitter. Unfortunately they no longer make these units anymore. They are quick and surprisingly have a lot of energy behind them to split big rounds. Thank you very much again, happy new year to you also.
I really like that old building. Replacement cost of it would scare you. A little tlc it will be grand. How deep is it ? Interested in seeing the other half. Thanks. Terry from central NY.
Hi Terry, apologies for the delayed response but i never had seen your comment among others. I like the old building too and to replace that building would cost a fortune of todays money. i will do a better walk around but ive been crazy busy at the moment and things are falling behind a little bit, once the machines are installed and working, i should be back to full swing again. Thank you and stay tuned i guess 👍
Happy new year to you also buddy 👍 thank you, im thinking of a container style build with forced hot air in at one end. I was thinking of making a boiler style dryer but i think that would take longer and ive not seen may pictures of the setups like that. Yes the splitter likes to moves backwards when in use, its the kinetic force returning on the springs which causes it to walk back. Ill figure something out to stop that eventually. hank you as always buddy 👍
The yard and building look great! Very excited to see how the kiln build goes.

Nick you forgot to set the parking brake! Maybe wheel chocks would prevent splitter backing up? Massive building to improve best luck.
😂 i had to think when you said set the parking brake, i was thinking about a sort of brake on the splitter to stop it from wandering off. I have some off cuts of firewood at the other yard that works a treat for the wheel chocks.
Thank you and happy new year buddy 🥳
Hi Nick. I've been watching a few of your videos. Good luck with your new yard . I've subscribe.
Thank you very much buddy, i appreciate your new support, welcome to the "Nick Gang"
What do you do for business ?
Thank you again and welcome.
That's going to be a great piece of property. Keep up the great work. Happy New Year.
Happy new year to you also and your family. Thank you as always 👍
Merry Christmas and happy new year, good job getting rid of that water. Take care bud
Thank you very much Evan, happy new year to you and your family. Yes its made a dent in the water drainage now but still needs a bit more work to the ground around it.
All the best buddy 👍
Great video Nick, shame about the flooding but its better to happen now than once you get full.. At least now you know what needs doing...
Hey buddy and thank you as always, i know what needs doing, a new roof is urgently required but funds are a little too stretched at the moment.
I need a drainage trough putting in that side really, that would help the whole situation for sure.
Thank you again buddy 👍 and happy new year 🥳

Sure does beak a pick and spade for sure.
Things never seem to come back down though, always going up but never down.
Stay safe buddy and thank you again, happy new year 👍
@@everydaywithmenick it’s a sawmill video so it’ll be up your alley
@@AppalachianFarmstead Ill be keen to check that out then buddy, need to find time for everyone elses videos to watch 😆
Hi Nick, happy new year to you and your family. Have you ever thought of setting up a Patreon page to support with the new site/building adventure ?
Hi Dave and thank you, happy new year to you too pal. I hope 2024 treats you well.
