[@rossbrown1748]

OK, there’s crazy and then there’s you guys, no frigging way, the siding can wait

[@toco-theoldman4563]

Love the way you do not allow anything to dampen your progress, an inspiration to us all

[@1944chevytruck]

[@Deck1ngUK]

Bless you, you had the chance to stay indoors and keep warm, but you choose to work on. 👏👏. Well done to you both.

[@1944chevytruck]

Drain off the water out of your air compressor its freezing your gun. or add a few drops of oil at front air hose, this will lube gun...siding looks great!

[@timkirkpatrick9155]

The house with siding looks sooo Good! Be proud you guys!

[@5stevedunne]

You guys are the best.

[@flowrider5082]

Hay for feed, straw for bedding, water against thirst. What more can the animals need? They are in animal heaven. ❤️🇨🇦

[@flowrider5082]

I wonder how those living in the Siberian area of Russia get water! Maybe they can teach you something.

[@MrRizsanyi]

You guys are tough.

[@michelletique259]

Despite the bad weather conditions, you did it well. In Belgium (150m above sea level) this year we have -8°C and 15cm of dry snow.

[@davidrichardson5958]

You are both the definition of resilience and ingenuity. Stay warm, stay safe.

[@randybarnes6087]

You're still making progress even in the wintertime. Way to Go!

[@wadeprior5203]

Hey good afternoon or good morning hope you guys are having a wonderful day keep up the good work just one step at a time and make each other happy and God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dopehope979]

greets from the Netherlands

[@dattatreyamandal7754]

looks like a good day to grow roots into the couch

[@erniescabin4256]

Blessed with a beautiful peaceful home😊💕✌

[@sgrvtl7183]

The bitter cold doesn’t stop you two! The snow is pretty. Be careful and stay warm & cozy, animals too😊

[@buddyreed2623]

Our coldest day will be Tuesday, 16 Jan 2024, -7C. It's not surprising to me that your water is frozen at -30 C. Have good days!

[@jerryrogers9703]

You two are such dedicated hard workers and amazing when it comes to taking care of the animals. On a lighter note Katie when you were showing the ice on your face i noticed how beautiful your eyes are. I say that out of total respect for you and Greg aswell. As always stay safe and God bless from Missouri.

[@ikepeters9758]

-29 feels like- 44 right now here in Mb. Fricken cold 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶I give u guys credit for working outside in this weather 👍

[@frattler07]

Blanket of clouds arriving here on Vancouver Island, warming up. Sending them your way!

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Beautiful pup Greg and Katie

[@theresacarter4635]

It was like 58 today in florida. Next project should be a big barn to keep all the big equipment and cars in. I love your new puppy and I eagerly await your next post.

[@TheHavasu_77]

How the heck did I miss this one 3 days ago? Better late than never! Also, I loved the intro song, was that Imaginary Future? The snow is so beautiful, hooray for the tractor plow, the animals are all adorable, and stay warm my friends, love you guys!❤

[@stephenkennedy7931]

God Bless from your Canadian Friend Together may we give our Children Room to grow and learn to fly.

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

Catching up as been busy myself, wow you two sure don’t shy away from working unless it’s unsafe. Respect to you both, here in West Yorkshire UK up near Moors it’s been -2 so far, my ears pricked up when Greg said it’s -32, we just don’t know how lucky we are. Katie you both are doing amazing work with your cameras, they sure don’t like being cold. Love to you both ❤️💙xx

[@laruedouglas7972]

Just please be careful you both 🙏.

[@dflenn9423]

I worked for a huge circus for years, we'd put special heating pads underneath the small animal pens and the large pythons. Yes, 14-16 foot snakes! It would be just enough to keep them warm. They use very little electricity. If you are worried about the goats eating them you can put them under so they can't get to them. You can just look online if you are interested. Love the build! You guys are awesome.

[@mountainson8688]

Hello from NW Montana! You're one of my favorite channels because more than most, I know how hard it is to drag anything up in these Rocky Mountains... So I know your struggles, and I love to see you win. Keep on keepin on. *BEERS*

[@glengillis7775]

-42C central Alberta. BUT sunny

[@gardnerwilson57]

Several days since maybe late December until now my outdoor thermometer has dropped down to +27*F. Thats an overnite reading not during the day like you guys. But being in a hot desert region ( 115*F in summer ) I'm not aclimated to your type of cold. Your temps stick around whereas ours happens compairativly temporarly at night while we are tucked in nice warm beds. But I can relate because I was in Illinoise where the daytime temp was a very cold -23*F. There it was, for me, the coldest place I've ever been and it was so cold it actually numbed my body so I almost didn't feel it. It amazes me how people can live in areas like yours and survive all winter long like you do. That makes working outdoors way harder. My fur hats off to you for doing your work as well as you do in such horrific weather conditions. Keep up the cooooold work because it is an inspiration to us all. Me southern AZ. (USA)

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

-40 in Saskatchewan

[@Mewsielynx]

Greetings..a Balmy -20 C not including wind chill..keep warm and safe ! From The Yukon Territory...😊

[@debbievogt9881]

Yes Katie this is what it's like I. Western New York State. Good luck and God Bless your whole gang. Be careful

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Greg and Katie

[@BpGardening]

For your animals to have water, get some clean snow and put it in a bucket a lot of it packet. My grandfather used to do it and it was good for the animal. They liked it so it won't hurt him. But make sure it's clean snow.

[@maryandersen557]

Aspen is so adorable

[@chrismcconnell6163]

with over 10 inches of snow, it was -18 and is now around -13, doors frozen, on our vehicles, had to climb in the backseat of pickup, and used my body weight, to try and open the backdoors. no luck, but got both front doors open, so I can load groceries. Newton , Iowa.

[@adriancofaru7299]

Congratulations for the soundtrack and filming. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@flowerstone]

A guy needs a shop. At least 32’ x 48’ with at least 15’ eaves. Get busy. 😁 Seriously, I’m in the mountains and have been all my life. Got tired of working in the weather, on gravel, mud, snow, etc. Built a shop right before I built my house. No regrets and it’s so nice. 😊

[@SpaceForce2019]

-1 in Colorado Springs this morning. Nice intro with Dalton Day - Bravo!

[@davidrogers-b1r]

HARD CORE GET IT DONE PEOPLE.heat man.

[@gordonpoole1093]

Great work guys - nearly there 👍🇬🇧

[@carloynfogelsonger1926]

We love you guys

[@robertdouglas4130]

2 degrees here this morning, nothing like what you guys are experiencing. Is admire your can do attitudes! So glad Greg is tied off with a harness working up there!

[@karenphillips6801]

Stay warm, siding, looking great😊

[@117JRA]

G'day from Far North Queensland in Oz where I'm watching in a pair of shorts, singlet and bare feet in our 33 degs C.

[@forgetn]

The only place that's not cold in North America...is the place that is usually cold. Here in Quebec, January is usually a -40c weather. Yesterday it was 0c. Almost no snow...we were wearing shoes in Montreal at Christmas (instead if shoe covers and boots). You are doing an amazing job, its really nice to see the progress you are making

[@tex24]

5:53... I call that "enhancing" the shot. So cute! Happy pups, happy life! Oh, I have a suggestion for a new channel name... "Rooftop Goats". How unique is it to have goats with rooftop access?

[@brendavipperman1487]

Hang in there! Things are going to get better...Do you ever melt snow for water ?I watch Alot of survival and OFF grid videos and when the need for water comes they use snow

[@eloleddie]

Determination, in site the unbearable cold, still allows you to make some progress on the siding! I went shopping with my daughter for some groceries on Saturday! I was cold with a strong wind blowing from the interior to the coast - an outflow wind - right on to the entrance/exit doors of the Superstore! Our hands stayed cold until we were home again - Chilliwack, BC. Just a little bit too cold for this old man! But today was quite a bit better!

[@TomCrockett-ip5rf]

I admire your tenacity.

[@blacksheepexpedition6347]

What about making a mount for the snow plow for the tractor? You already have hydraulics for the bucket. Great job getting the siding done in the cold.

[@ginozanga2129]

Stay warm kids, glad to see that a little weather won’t stop you. Is the blade on your saw special for cutting your siding? Love your video intro and editing and choice of music.👍

[@Michael-uo8sg]

You guys are some freaking courageous. I was shivering in my comfy chair just looking at you guys work. Take it easy and hopefully you get the water issues solved. I live in eastern Canada and it hasn’t been very cold here yet but one thing is sure, it will come.

[@pmartin6759]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ lol Juniper barking sounded like a seal🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RobinJones-ow9oz]

I would not be in that cold. Wait so y'all don't get sick. As always be safe and God bless y'all from Georgia

[@debbienewmex]

Watching from Mexico 🇲🇽 and glad I don't have to drive experience that frigid weather

[@billmcdowell4826]

The siding is looking good. The unknown animal looks like a bobcat. The pic after it was a bobcat with same markings. Great job guys.

[@trudyschaffer8016]

We have dodged the bullet here in Southern Oregon, at least for now. Portland and Salem, not so much. That water situation is very concerning, I’m sure. You’ll figure it out. Thanks for all your efforts to feed our need to see you guys! Be safe! 👍🐾🌲🥶

[@florencecampbell774]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏thank you,please stay warm.

[@teresawoodruff1170]

You two really impress this old WVA fella. I love your non stop attitude. Looking forward to the next episode ❤

[@glendajune9140]

Not to shabby, considering the weather conditions. Y’all,& the animals rock!! Stay safe, healthy, warm,happy, productive,& blessed.💯🫶🏾💕💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@billmickey7480]

Hey, if you’re having problems with your battery, getting cold, take and get some handwarmers and put on them and keep them from getting cold

[@lambeausouth1]

Aspen is having a great time 😀

[@mikepregont1658]

House is looking good!

[@donaldisgrigg7785]

You two relax me....`cept when you drive funny. :)

[@Enoch5939]

-38 here in Edmonton ... it's been down to -48 -50 overnight (without the windchill) .... lovely polar vortex ....

[@phuongvo3051]

I just so enjoying to watch your channel weekly , just love your pets , goats are cutie ,please keeps your new puppy inside with this cold below 30 , and cougar 😮around .

[@richardwhite4277]

you need to balance danger versus productivity !!!

[@suezaple4950]

You two are very inspiring you keep going to get the work done, however can't blame you at -30'' to stop and go in. We have had -30 here in Ontario where I live , Katie sure makes sure all the animals are comfy that is a good animal parent. I could definitely see the water freezing up to be an issue nothing works well in these temperatures. Aspen sure has grown and looks very comfy. way to go folks and nice trail cam footage .

[@southernohiosolarhomestead8477]

Yes bigger water storage and water catchment on all them roofs so you can collect before this stuff freezes

[@august2108]

- 10 in east Europe with bright sunshine, no one, or dog should be outside in that extreme really, many years ago I experienced a -40 in Japan, not a splendent experience. take care you two.

[@markbrown9765]

For big hand tools stop by a pawn shop if you can. They'll be old and cosmetically beat up because they've usually doubled as a hammer at some point, but they'll be good quality, usable, and won't cost you a fortune.

[@aeros4me]

Adorable puppy!

[@kevincerce5056]

68 Degrees F/ here today in South Florida.....It was 84 Degrees F/ yesterday.

[@shaynesmith398]

Great work for the temperature. It got down to -34 with the wind chill at -40 here overnight. We have 2 barns. One for the chickens and 1 for the donkey and sheep. Thankful for the water heaters! BTW I really enjoy the music y'all play. Stay warm. I'm looking forward to your next video.

[@jimcrowell5093]

That is a gorgeous puppy❤

[@flowerstone]

15 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. All the way up to 20 at 1pm. Rained all day yesterday and was freezing as it fell. Over an inch of ice in my driveway. 🥶

[@kellyatkinson2686]

Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 We are in our summer here & it’s 25 degrees which is 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@brianpesci]

-17C/ -1F windchill here in WNY, that puppy isn't going to be cute and little very long! He's going to be a great addition to your homestead, stay warm and keep going! Working in this weather is difficult, to say the least. Do you have a feral pig?

[@private15]

Tool box bolted to the tractor is such a useful thing on a farm. I thought rare earth was safer for under animals bedding for smell (purchase large bags called stall dry for horses )

[@kennethsanders963]

Have you thought about a heat lamp for the small chickens?

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Always puts a smile on my face when I see one of my favorite youtube channels video to watch very good video as always keep up the good work take care of yourselves in this cold winter Cuddle up and get warm but don't cuddle up too close you wouldn't want to make this an X rated video

[@eduardocarvalho1547]

30:24 That looks like some type of hybrid boar. You really need to get your hunting licenses!!! I know Canadian gun laws are really strict, but it's not impossible to get a long gun for hunting purposes. Stay safe (and warm)!

[@richardrojas6306]

Good morning Katie. What a Beautiful young lady. You looked stunning in closeup cam shots. God Bless you and Greg in working in that cold weather. It can be so dangerous and tough on muscle legs going up n down that cold ladder. Sorry on your water news freezing over. I will send Prayers to you and hope there's a quick solution. You two together has so much strength and stamina to complete your home. Hoping that all goes well in upcoming weather. Big warm Hugs from Santa Barbara. 🤗😘👏🙏🌹🍷💕😎

Awr you home is looking gorgeous outside with sideing on. So pleased for you both. Sorry its so cold for you. Please keep well wrapped up and take real care. Love. Michael uk care home resident

So impressed with the patience level with that Man! I would have thrown that nail gun! But not you. You stayed calm and git as far as you could. Brilliant that you are getting whatvyou can. Thanks for sharing

[@edwardshupe6215]

Greg, get yourself a small metal tool box and attach it to the fender of the tractor.

[@lawrencepevitts2434]

You have a beautiful piece of property
