This week we are making our way around to the back and opposite side of the shipping container! More battens, more insulation, and more unexpected surprises! While working, a fire broke out on the property behind us and we went running to help out!

Just for FYI, you can use your grass blower and blow the fire line back into the burnt area. Works better than a rake!!!

[@charlesburgess9267]

Time to buy a Water spraying attachment for the tractor ! Lol

[@markduggan3451]

Firefighters and framers, as well as a lovely couple. You're both doing well on that container.

[@puddintame9989]

I love watching how well you two work together. My late hubby and I were never able to do that! :-)

[@stevebincolo]

You kids keep on rockin it

[@mineaim7066]

Y'all make a great team. 👍

[@richardhaggarty5758]

Good Idea for homestead channel - Fire protecting you property...as a emergency management professional you should look into your States Fire Smart Program. Stay safe !!

[@Woodbrew]

I actually believe our house would’ve been fine, but the tractor, sawmill, and all other yard items probably would’ve been toast. Our house has green short grass all around it with gravel beds around the entire exterior and a brick facade. I’d like to make a fire fighting ibc tote setup though. Even to have around for when we are burning in the fire pit.

[@billysmether6237]

They probably hit a rock with the lawn mower blade and caused a spark that started some dried grass on fire. In many parts of the hills and mountains in California lawn mowers are illegal to use because of all the trees and such. They have to use weed whackers because the string can not make a spark if it hits stone or metal. Thanks for video.

[@georgewilmore7599]

I see you joined the volunteer fire department. Just added one more responsibility to your plate.

[@Woodbrew]

lol literally joined that day😅

[@Red12Harley]

Great video guys!

[@rafterwhomestead]

We don't have hurricanes but we deal with fires often. Fires, tornados, straight line winds (sometimes with fires). Our roads are laid on a grid every mile (in most areas) which does help with managing fires.

[@guybowers9094]

I'm glad you guys are all ok and great job putting out that fire. Being in from California, where we have a knack for burning everything to the ground, I can most definitely agree that a fire is nothing to mess around with

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you! It can get out of hand so quickly which is terrifying.

[@kwarts]

Nice job on both the container and putting out that fire. Kind regards, Christiaan

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you!

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Wow that fire came a tad close to you both. I hope the neighbour didn't suffer too much damage to their property 🙂 Look forward to seeing the next video 🙂.*

[@Woodbrew]

Thankfully all they lost was their mower and it was put out before it reached their home🙏🏼

[@user-ho8qe7dv8s]

Excellent job on the container. So glad you're both safe.

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you😊

[@RumMonkeyable]

Very grateful you are safe! God's blessings! 😍👏🥰👍🙏

😊😊 God has been blessing us a lot recently. We are grateful 🙏🏼

You two make such a great team -- living the American dream. Love all your videos!

[@Woodbrew]

We are very grateful☺️

[@brianbarnes2166]

So glad you escaped disaster!!! Keep up the great work, you two are a lot of fun to watch

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks! We are too😬

[@mikeymad]

2:18 - Nailed it! --- okay - put on some siding - put out a wildfire - put on some siding. You know - as you do... 😮 -- great job - Cheers.

[@Woodbrew]

Haha yea it was a chaotic day😅

[@scottmorris4914]

Lot’s work done, good job guys.

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks✌🏻

[@alanreid856]

Another great video. So glad you contained the fire. Hope your neighbor is doing ok

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you! They only lost the lawnmower and thankfully the fire was stopped before it made it to their home🙏🏼

[@bobflores]

Jumping on the fire was smart. No need to wait on the fire department. What's the plan for dressing up the big end wall doors? Thanks for the video.

[@Woodbrew]

Not sure yet actually. Thinking about removing the hardware and adding some easier to open hardware. Might also add a window.

[@bobflores]

@@Woodbrew If you don't need the big doors to be functional I would remove the hardware, weld the doors closed and cut in a big fire escape window. Having a second evacuation route would be nice.

[@BigGuyVideo]

Great work guys!

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you!

[@jepcozenith40]

Nice segue. I watched half the commercial before I knew what hit me. Almost like I was scammed. 😜😜

[@traderjoe477]

btw. if you ever get robbed or attacked by someone yell 'fire' instead of 'help'. Help is used to often and most people don't bother but if you yell fire everyone will turn around and looks whats going on

[@charlesburgess9267]

Is the shop your full job, or do you both work on top of all you do ?

[@jeremyspecce]

Somebody shopping for a tractor mounted sprayer?? 😬😱

[@jimhohl9003]

Literally.......

[@GibClark]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@thisisnotmyname91]

I’ve never seen anyone fight a hurricane and win… just saying

[@Woodbrew]

Haha that’s very true😅 Fires are quick though and hurricanes you have days or weeks of notice. Had we not been outside when this happened it would’ve tore through our property. I doubt it would’ve made it to our house because of the green grass, but it would’ve burnt the sawmill and possibly tractor up.

[@scottmorris4914]

are you going to put a roof over the door you installed?

[@Woodbrew]

Will eventually have a full lean to down that side👍🏻

[@scottmorris4914]

@@Woodbrew that sounds good.

[@dmacko]

Putting wood around a fire proof container is weird to me. Why not just paint it?

[@Woodbrew]

That’s fair. We like the look and needed to cover the insulation. We didn’t want to lose any space on the inside by insulating in there. I also think this works way way better than insulating the inside and well it’s crazy hot here so was a big priority.
