      Maybe you can cover it with a tarp before it snows or some type of removable cover

    Merry Christmas,
    Ashley, Jeremy, and Sam.
    Thanks for the Christmas Present,
    That was Sam's Hello.
    I really don't understand how anybody could think Ashley doesn't work.
    I was getting tired from just watching her shoveling snow.
    Sorry, your power went out hopefully it will be back up for Christmas.
    Love all the banter, you guys are great together.
    God Bless the Mapleberry Farm.
    Again,
    Merry Christmas.

    My son is so jealous right now,.... all he wants for his birthday (jan9) every year is snow. But over here in the Netherlands it's getting almost certain that we don't get any, each winter.

    Awww Christmas snow love it. Time to pull the girls around in a sled on the property. Must feel awesome to be able to put your vehicles under cover. I recall you guys said you are on 70 acres are there plans to purchase a sawmill in the future. I’ve delayed purchasing my woodmizer mill until spring or summer because I will focus winter chores on falling trees to process logs to be somewhat dry for the sawmill when it arrives

    You guys are cool , great humour and work well together . I enjoy your videos . For the snow on the decks and porches I lay the ATV ramps on the stairs and drive the walk behind blower up them . It does not scratch the wood and leaves just a little behind for quick shovel cleanup . Another thing I do is I took a cart similar to a fridge moving cart , welded a larger base to the bottom and welded uprights at the front of the base , then brought supports back to the handles and that's how I bring the fire wood in . We could get three days of burn with one cart load . Thanks for letting me ramble .thanks for the videos .

    You'll have to be super careful to make sure you get all the nails picked up! When they put a new roof and rain gutters on the garage, where I rent the top floor of a duplex, they were so sloppy and they left so many nails and screws all over the driveway and the grass! I had to sweep it a few times because our driveway has so many chunks of broken concrete at different levels! I also had to pick a lot of screws and nails up that rolled into the cracks! But the neighbors downstairs got two flat tires, because they left right after the crew was done with the work, and they didn't pay attention to all the nails laying around, and I didn't sweep until right before I had to go somewhere! Your Daughter is so cute! Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year to all of You!💗

    Hi, so TH-cam suggested your channel and have just watched this episode and the "info" video. I must say from what I have seen I am very impressed with your work ethics, grit and determination. So I subscribed, on the down side of doing this is that I like to be fully informed of the journey that the channel has been on, so it looks like I have 3 years worth of video's to binge watch over the Xmas holidays!! Oh how much of a Xmas present was the recommendation. Thank you.
