ROFLMAO...if they did, they did it with their ladders backwards 0:27 check rungs and the INSTRUCTIONS on the side clear as day....If ya turn that ladder around you might not tend to fall off as much...We all done something like this before at one point. Love this channel though 😁😍
In the darkness that TH-cam can be... you two have the most lovely community. They are so supportive, positive, full of wisdom, as well as great advice. Your videos are awesome but I must admit, that reading the comments brings me almost as much joy.
I only found this channel a couple of weeks ago and have been binge watching ever since! I'm enjoying these two and their projects so much that I click the "Like" button before I even watch them to make sure I don't forget!
Same here! I've been catching up and loving every moment! Eric and Arielle feels like Family (I wish they were😉) Their skills are just mind blowing!! 🙌
one safety thing would be for Ariel to stand at base of ladder once you are on it and support side with hands and step on feet of ladder with her toes. My one accident with the ladder it slipped out from underneath me. If I had a person stand on the bottom it probably wouldn't have happened. Both going up and coming down, it slipped on me coming off roof.
As stated, the ladder is backwards, the feet are supposed to sit flat on the ground. As per NFPA the ladder is to be placed 2 to 3 rungs above the working level, like he did. The NFPA requirements for using a ladder is at least 2 people, one to climb and one to heel. There are 2 ways they recognize for the heeler to do it, one is as stated above of holding their arms level to the ground and either standing on the bottom rung or place their toes on the feet of the ladder. Second way is for the heeler to stand under the ladder with their arms at chest level and lean back towards the building, the one must for this technique is for the not to look up and have head and eye protection. Lastly, is to use a rope to tie the bottom of the ladder to the structure at the bottom but a heeler is still needed when someone is one the ladder
@@donhepler294 mine was washing some windows 2nd story above the first story pushed out dining room. I am glad my fall was from 10', but onto cement, standing and hurt a vertibrae. I am so careful about ladders ever since. I hired a person to go with me every time I had to use a ladder, if only just for that.
,We have a stove with a glass door in our cabin. It will go dark , often, when you burn in it. If the soot do not go away during firing, you can wait till the stove gets cold, wet a piece of kitchen roll paper, dip it in the ash, and scrub away the soot. Then dry off remnants. I have seen people use expensive sprays, but that is not necessary. I just think I would tell you in case you did not know. The stove turned out really beautiful! Regards from Sweden!
Sorry, but I disagree. He was not wearing a harness, it was just a rope tied around his waist. This would not have helped him if he fell, and might have caused more damage to his body. I hope he uses a harness and anchors it properly to the roof next time. Falls are one of the top 4 construction hazards, per OSHA.
Just watched this full episode on the big TV, but came here to be able to comment :) You kids are so, so smart! I looked over at my husband and we talked about how you put first things first, your wood shed is all done, filled with wood (too), your outhouse is moved and ready, fishing your limits, drying them, you are growing your food, canning, now while the weather is nice you completely cleaned out and repaired your wood stove! If I was your Mama I would be bursting with pride with how smart you two are!! My goodness ya'll are going to be ready for winter this year!
Well per usual you guys are on top of things. Stove looks great, the glass is the way it should be on a cold winters night. I'm mostly impressed with how much wood you have stashed away! You appear to be in pretty good shape for an early winter and look how much you have accomplished this summer woodshed , new privy, orchard, water tank, and soon a bountiful harvest. The work never ends but when you are doing something you love with someone you love the reward. Is contentment peace and joy. I have to give a shout out to the chickens, I have often thought about what other livestock would work for you and actually chickens are enough and a good choice , that they produce so well is testament to your good care. Hindus have an expression " Save the cow and the cow will save you" That's how I feel about having chickens.
I so appreciate you both sharing your lives. There is nothing on your show that I don't enjoy. Your family is very Special. I love your fur babies, they Love doing anything you do. God Bless you. Please continue sharing your every day lives.
I get so excited every time I see a new post from y’all. I’ve never had anyone explain why things are done this way or shown how much work goes into simple living. Every video I learn something new and fall deeper in love with the content! Stay safe and much love from TN ❤️
What a great upgrade! It looks like a brand new stove to me. It turned out really well! I bet the glass door will be beautiful with a full fire going in winter. 👍
Erik, don't take it hard, we want you to be safe, especially since you are afraid of heights. It was great to tie off of course. Your maintenance was awesome and I didn't realize I had those bricks lining our stoves over the years.
I don't like heights either,well done,looks like a new stove,love the glass door,welcome to your cosy. Thanks for caring for the owl,hope they recover well.
Stove is good for another 10,000 miles! Arielle was really fussing over that owl that was trying to get her chickens. It was funny but heartwarming at the same time. It's nice when you recognize you are sharing space with critters that don't have your best interest in mind, and are doing your best to live with that situation.Take care you two.
Im just here to say thank you for making a safety harness for yourself. So many people go on roofs without any form of safety and it is terrifying. But great job! Always learning a lot from Eric and he is always a great motivation to do things yourself!
What a fabulous job the two of you have done ✅. Thanks for helping the Owl for treatment 👍. Your stove is so romantic and creates a soft tone looking GREAT.
Zen and the art of woodstove maintenance. I miss my woodstove. Unfortunately, I'm now elderly and don't own the stove nor the house and 5 acres in the country any longer. Bah! Good work with stove and owl.
My grandmother used to grease her old cooking wood stove surface with pig rind (with the inner, fat side). Preserves the metal and also blackens pretty good after cooking. You can use one rind multiple times.
Had a wood stove when I lived in PA. Had a glass in the door which was awesome to watch! Cleaning the flue and stove was our least favorite chore, but it had to be done! Glad you guys could rescue the owl! When I worked at a beach resort, we were taught how to rescue a pelican and other birds, and how to deal with the turtles and turtle eggs. Very interesting indeed!
Stove looks really good with the new glass door. Seeing the flame 🔥 always makes it so cosy. Made smile every time you said chimney by adding an extra ‘I’ in the middle. 😊
Thank you for sharing this with us! I think this video is very helpful for people who want to start living off the grid. That you have to do things like that get easily forgotten. The stove looks awesome!
Great job on the stove! Refinished our basement wood stove last year ...it was definitely a PITA but so glad we did it, it turned out nice and it's done! Yhea! 😁
First off let me say me and my wife really enjoy your channel. Our son is the same age as you and why that's important is, We hear alot of negative things about younger people, and we say bullcrap to that ! You and your wife are very positive, intelligent and hard working people. They said the same stuff about our generation too, LOL. Anyways wanted to let you know you guys are doing amazing things, Keep up the great videos and take care.
The wood shed is looking good! Back in the day we could get a stove polish that was a thick paste. It was really good stuff. You rubbed it on with a rag and built a low fire in it to cure it.
Thank you Ariel and Eric for saving the beautiful little owl. Brilliant job on the wood heater. Cosy when you can see the fire in winter. Hug's from Australia x
Nice clean up of your stove. Using that insulated peel and stick cording really keeps in the heat. Watching the fire in the door is awesome.. Another nice job.
I have a similar stove, 12 feet of chimney pipe. I clean chimney from inside stove. No going on roof. I use a cheap drain cleaning snake. It's a flat metal tape on a little spool with a spring on the end. Like an electrician fish tape. I work it up to the cap, then wiggle it in a circular motion slowly back down to the stove. Wind it back up on the spool and done. I have a big pile of soot in the fire box like you did. Real easy and no roof work, unless I'm going to clean the cap.
Good job. Always have to be aware of using pine. Burns hot, fast, and leaves creosote behind. Glad you clean it every year one of the main causes for house fires.
Hi. I like how proactive ya'll are in taking care of equipment that you use. Good advice for the use of safety straps when working on roof. The fire will look so cheering thru the glass of your stove. Rooting for the recovery of the little owl. Keep us updated. Peace to you and yours
Beautiful video of cleaning wood stove,you guys are really amazing and well organised in your daily routine work.Keep cleaning, cooking, eating, fishing, hunting working,canning,traveling and smiling 😂
You guys work together as a team!Ausum to see this! Terrific couple! Thank you for sharing your video of chimney & stove clean up and up grade to door! I remember when I was 25-30 yrs old married and playing with my wood stove! Learning curve! Lol! I really enjoy your video,s!😀
Wow Eric noticed how much wood you have stacked on the outside of the wood room! I love a wood stove with a glass door, it,s so comforting watching a fire burn on a cold winter,s night, good job the stove looks awesome!
Great vlog! Hope the 🦉 pulls through, but bet it was pretty cool getting to see/feel him up close! Keep the videos coming. You guys are a top favorite of mine and I’m so glad to see your subscriber count soaring!
I just met you guys today. Thanks for keeping g me company while at home alone with my kids. Thank you for giving me someone positive to admire and be in awe of. Thank you two for sharing because my entire day was spent trying to watch your videos in order. So incredibly talented and knowledgable, living a life I can only dream of. Thanks for helping me forget the chaos going on in our country. I spent about 6 hours with your channel casted to my living room tv. What I really want to know though is more about you guys. What did you two do before Alaska (professional or employment) what kind of childhood or culture prepared you guys for life off grid. Where are yall from, how did yall meet? Children maybe? So much I dont know after spending thr day with you
Such a cute owl!! I’m sure that animal rehabilitation place will take good care of him, I hope they give you an update! We had a company come out and service our pellet stove and they used the same paint, it did give off fumes the first few times we used the stove. You might want to fire it up a few times before you start using it for cooking again.
Great job guys, that stove is without a doubt one of the most essential pieces of equipment you have so a bit of preventive maintenance in the summer will go a long ways towards a great heat source for the rest of the year. Stay safe
Good job! I know that glass front will make it much nicer in the evening, especially in winter time. Good to see someone maintain what they have rather than replace it for cosmetic reasons! Oh, and I do NOT like heights either! Duty on a submarine did not really worry me, but roof tops are no bueno.
Nice lookin stove! I love mine! I pulled some old gas logs out that no one used and installed a wood stove insert. It burns all fall and winter! Love the channel!
I want to be as confident as Eric cleaning a wood stove in a white t-shirt.
That's hilarious xD I wouldn't dare wear white to walk out of my room much less cleaning =/
folks like these 2 that built this country. America needs millions more
ROFLMAO...if they did, they did it with their ladders backwards 0:27 check rungs and the INSTRUCTIONS on the side clear as day....If ya turn that ladder around you might not tend to fall off as much...We all done something like this before at one point. Love this channel though 😁😍
Eric is very good handyman and you are equally a good handy women to two together are a awesome pair,God bless you.
Great job all the way around! 👍👍👍👍👍
It looks brand new! Good job
In the darkness that TH-cam can be... you two have the most lovely community. They are so supportive, positive, full of wisdom, as well as great advice. Your videos are awesome but I must admit, that reading the comments brings me almost as much joy.
Looks like a brand new stove
love that you did this dirty project in a clean white shirt and in the end it was still clean, impressive!

Don’t be unsafe with the ladder. You have it backwards sir.

@@jwcinc12 I had the exact same thing happen...when cleaning a chimney coincidentally.
ladders are so dangerous. I feel safer climbing rock faces or trees on ropes and a harness than being 10 feet up on a ladder.
@@donhepler294 mine was washing some windows 2nd story above the first story pushed out dining room. I am glad my fall was from 10', but onto cement, standing and hurt a vertibrae. I am so careful about ladders ever since. I hired a person to go with me every time I had to use a ladder, if only just for that.
Fellow Oregonians living the dream! ❤
Fantastic job Eric.
LOVE it brother. Thanks for sharing guys. God Bless..
Great job guys! Looks amazing!
Wow. What a difference 3 coats of paint, a window, and new fire bricks make to a 30 year old stove.
Great job
You guys rock! Thank you for your videos.

I use them same method. Works great !
Stove look great
I greatly respected your use of a Fall Arrest Device, this is the mark of a Professional that fully respects the risks involved in the task at hand.

Save the owl. That was awesome.
Fireplace looks great.

Erik, don't take it hard, we want you to be safe, especially since you are afraid of heights. It was great to tie off of course. Your maintenance was awesome and I didn't realize I had those bricks lining our stoves over the years.
Ariel, you are such a momma bird, I loved your reaction and momma bear concern for that sweet little owl. Such a sweet soul. :)
"Don't hurt him" awwwwwwwwww
Finally a glass door,we enjoy ours.👍
Get a piece of stainless for your woodstove top then you have a great cooking area and don't have to worry about damaging your stove .
The wood stove looks brand new with the glass and blackened 😍
I don't like heights either,well done,looks like a new stove,love the glass door,welcome to your cosy. Thanks for caring for the owl,hope they recover well.

Eric, you are a true "jack of all trades!" It is really neat to watch you work your magic!
Hope the owl was saved. You’re great. Love the human efforts and enthusiasm you put in all you every days living. Thank you for sharing. 😘👍
Very smart of you guys to clean your chiminy every year instead of waiting til there is a problem like alot of people do
Those old cast iron stoves are the best. She cleaned up nice.
Hey, small safety tip - extension ladders should always be set up with the narrower section on top. FYI. 👍🏻
Its a one way ladder has perm attached feet
cmetz201 he means turn 180 on the long axis, not the short one.
Yes, have the sliding section facing away from the building, then the rungs would be level to climb up
That's the first thing I noticed, ohh crap ladder is backwards 😉
Luv this channel
The wider of the two sections of the ladder should always face the surface the ladder leans into. The extending part should be on the outside.
What a fabulous job the two of you have done ✅. Thanks for helping the Owl for treatment 👍. Your stove is so romantic and creates a soft tone looking GREAT.
Zen and the art of woodstove maintenance. I miss my woodstove. Unfortunately, I'm now elderly and don't own the stove nor the house and 5 acres in the country any longer. Bah! Good work with stove and owl.
Wood stove looks fantastic. A lot better than a solid door.
U guys can do anything ! Plus your always respectful of each other. Love it
Love the nature in both of you trying to save the owl. Awesome.
My grandmother used to grease her old cooking wood stove surface with pig rind (with the inner, fat side). Preserves the metal and also blackens pretty good after cooking. You can use one rind multiple times.
Eric did it again.. the one man .. wow 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Damn I love that you take care of everything you have. I want everyone to.
We have a stove just like this and thinking about restoring. I wanted one with a glass door so now this perks things up for me. It’s beautiful.
You kids melt my heart Jesus bless you both and your fur babys
fireplace looks great..glad you're off the roof..I can't even drive over bridges so projects like that make me happy when they're over

Great educational video guys. Arielle was so sweet with the baby owl. Hope the lil guy will be okay.

Nice job you did on painting to stove top. You will really enjoy watching the fire in the wood stove.
It turn out very nice, and looks much better. It looks brand new. Great Job!👏🏾👍🏾

wow, I just like how Eric makes everything look super easy!!
Very knowledgeable & he explains everything very clearly. I like the parts when Eric comes across something that went against his original plan.
Stove looks great. Glass is nice
Congratulations, super glass door!!! Enjoy 😊
Just one of those jobs you hate doing but has to be done. Looks good. Well done !
The wood stove looks new you guys did good job for owl and stove.Thanks for sharing.
You will love the back country television
@Debi yes it is and a lot better that any electronic one
Eric is the man for all seasons!

Both of you can do anything ! The woodpile is bigger than your house
So much better with the clear window on the wood stove!!!
Love the glass door.
Well done. Awesome job on the wood stove. Should keep you guys warm during winter. Greetings from Brazil
Glad you're taking safety precautions for climbing on roof.
Stove looks brand new. Love glass doors so you can get the cozy feel of the fire.
Stove turned out nice. April you're a champ going up and down that ladder. My wife is afraid to even stand on the bottom rung.
It looks so much nicer now. We just bought a Fisher wood stove that we are cleaning up and painting soon. Thanks for sharing.
Look at you two getting ready for the cold. Great job.
Hi. I like how proactive ya'll are in taking care of equipment that you use. Good advice for the use of safety straps when working on roof. The fire will look so cheering thru the glass of your stove. Rooting for the recovery of the little owl. Keep us updated. Peace to you and yours
Good job on the stove!!!! READY FOR WINTER!!!# Your the man!!! Love your channel!Thankyou for taking us along with.
Beautiful video of cleaning wood stove,you guys are really amazing and well organised in your daily routine work.Keep cleaning, cooking, eating, fishing, hunting working,canning,traveling and smiling 😂
I like the 60s front...easy to clean up spills
You guys work together as a team!Ausum to see this! Terrific couple! Thank you for sharing your video of chimney & stove clean up and up grade to door! I remember when I was 25-30 yrs old married and playing with my wood stove! Learning curve! Lol! I really enjoy your video,s!😀
Wow Eric noticed how much wood you have stacked on the outside of the wood room! I love a wood stove with a glass door, it,s so comforting watching a fire burn on a cold winter,s night, good job the stove looks awesome!
We had an earth stove that also had a screened door for an open fireplace effect. Great simple stove.
Great vlog! Hope the 🦉 pulls through, but bet it was pretty cool getting to see/feel him up close! Keep the videos coming. You guys are a top favorite of mine and I’m so glad to see your subscriber count soaring!
I just met you guys today. Thanks for keeping g me company while at home alone with my kids. Thank you for giving me someone positive to admire and be in awe of. Thank you two for sharing because my entire day was spent trying to watch your videos in order. So incredibly talented and knowledgable, living a life I can only dream of. Thanks for helping me forget the chaos going on in our country. I spent about 6 hours with your channel casted to my living room tv. What I really want to know though is more about you guys. What did you two do before Alaska (professional or employment) what kind of childhood or culture prepared you guys for life off grid. Where are yall from, how did yall meet? Children maybe? So much I dont know after spending thr day with you
YES! Its almost 1:30am and I need to like and watch this video.
Excellent. Y'all amaze me at all of your talents. Well done.
Such a cute owl!! I’m sure that animal rehabilitation place will take good care of him, I hope they give you an update! We had a company come out and service our pellet stove and they used the same paint, it did give off fumes the first few times we used the stove. You might want to fire it up a few times before you start using it for cooking again.
Great job guys, that stove is without a doubt one of the most essential pieces of equipment you have so a bit of preventive maintenance in the summer will go a long ways towards a great heat source for the rest of the year. Stay safe
Loved how the stove turned out.
Good job! I know that glass front will make it much nicer in the evening, especially in winter time. Good to see someone maintain what they have rather than replace it for cosmetic reasons! Oh, and I do NOT like heights either! Duty on a submarine did not really worry me, but roof tops are no bueno.
Nice lookin stove! I love mine! I pulled some old gas logs out that no one used and installed a wood stove insert. It burns all fall and winter! Love the channel!
