Demolition Day | Starting The Deck Build | Preparing For The Season Change

[@gradymosley8481]

Katie is a working machine. Probably one of the best wood splitters I've seen on youtube. Strength and stamina. Impressed.

[@hatcherhollerhoodlum4418]

Yep she's got the heart or a lioness and the guns to back it up💪👍🏻

[@sgrvtl7183]

when you are homesteading, no slackers allowed❗ 😂🤣

[@dmounts9999]

Paul-ette Bunyan! I am very impressed. Great teamwork.

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

I think Greg is a beast splitting the wood 🪵 a great team indeed !!

[@geoffowrid2308]

They are both work horses. So much respect for both of them!

[@martykennedy3962]

Who needs a Maul when you’ve got Katie. You two are one tough couple when it comes to working hard.

[@AndreHuppe]

FABULOUS WORK

[@JohnnWoods]

You have one hard working woman there, take care of her!

[@shirlenenugent6213]

You need a wood splitter. Wood seems to be a primary source of heat for you. A wood splitter will add years to your life by helping to preserve your joints and back.

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Katie has always impressed me with her sheer determination and hard work. She packs a huge punch for being so tiny. Looking forward to next week to see how the deck is coming along. You guys are awesome.

[@dalewells3897]

YOu have the best helpmate. She is so attentive and supportive to the projects. Her attitude is super. Don't let her lift more than her body can handle. God's blessing on you guys. Love your videos. Dale

[@ld5714]

Katie you always amaze me. You have come so far with your skills and abilities, you were very impressive as you chopped that wood and loaded it in the truck. You and Greg are one hard working couple. I enjoy the interaction with the animals and the look forward to following the progress on the deck. Have a great week ahead and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@carlahubbard7561]

Blood sweat and tears now, but you’ll be warm this winter!

[@garybishop5155]

Katie is a hardworking girl 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SandraCrockett]

Who needs to join a gym? You guys keep in great shape doing all that you do around your homestead!

[@FastEddie007007]

Kati is the best looking lumber jack I have ever seen, well, the best looking anything I have ever seen.

[@thomaskern7716]

Hej from Germany, WOW Katie !!!! Katie the Terminator !!! what for a strong Girl !! Gratulation Greg for this Partner !!!

[@sandielovallo3312]

I’m crying with you as I’m watching this. My prayers are with you and Blue. My dog is my family and she is getting old so I’m spoiling her even more. I can’t comprehend living life without our fur babies. Prayers sent!

[@1944chevytruck]

[@SuperJaXXas]

Just looking back at the old bus days, you guys have come so far, making it happen! God bless!

[@My-little-Corner]

I have been watching your channel and didn't realize I was not subscribed. Katie is a beast with that axe 🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓. I agree she is one tough GIRL!

[@lawrencesnyder817]

Here I was congratulating you on a great job dropping that tree in exactly the right place! :) Great job, tree on ground, no injuries, no broken gear...yep great job!

[@RandyCrider-o4v]

WE know who the boss is now WOW what a lady someone is lucky to have her good going Beautiful Katie

[@danmiddleton3246]

Your one tuff woman Katie that’s really hard work

[@larrymesneak1334]

I love the way you kids work together and have fun along the way.

[@shanekennedy5243]

Guys, just love your OH&S safety boots.

[@reggiedaniels6920]

Now you need a barn or shed for your equipment when not in use to protect it from itself and the weather. The adage is true: "Use it or lose it for everything."

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

Wow a whole lot of hard labor and a ton of love to build that deck can's wait to see this build. God Bless.

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

oop's my typo "can's" should have been "Can;t". More coffee needed here lol.

[@claudiahughes8087]

Nice job kids. But every time Greg gets behind that backhoe , I have to suck in my stomach so he can make it through those narrow places he tries to get through. Always an adventure. ❤

[@mlutke4067]

You two work so great together!! You’re both work horses!! Can’t wait to see the deck!!😎

[@ramiromarin4002]

Blessings friends 😊😊😊, Happy for your rain 😊😊😊

[@davehaines9133]

Katie tou are still using your shoulder swing trick: both hands back over your head most powerful swing bend your knees a little as you come down good luck

[@waynedavenport3919]

Definitely need a wood splitter guys lol. ❤️

[@rogerkinnis7099]

Katie is the prettiest wood chopper I've ever seen.

[@rdeanbenson2214]

The old "boot room" would make a great planting shed for your garden tools and stuff

[@nomad3189]

Katie is always so proper... I laughed so hard i spilled my drink when she said " pull all those weeds for the chickens, they love that sh!t"

[@maureenhobbs4163]

When you all finish your deck and yard will be beautiful.

[@henryminton4760]

Paint the plywood that is at the base of your house 🏠 to protect it and it will last longer..

[@glendajune9140]

Y’all kick a**! Two very hardworking people. The results were impressive. Hoping Juniper learned a lesson lol. Have a great day,& week.💯👍🏾😀👏🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@bobwarner6884]

Wow you guys! You really need to get a splitter. Katie you're an animal! Love your channel guys!

[@PeterKNoone]

omg You guys work SOOOO hard. What are we going to see once you are done with the house? Casserole vidoes? If so, I'll watch them. xoxoxo

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Wild foraged casseroles! Made over a fire made by smashing two rocks together. Great idea!

[@wildbenny11]

I like to see that one lol

[@robertreader6053]

The two of you work well together ❤️

[@hanzon]

Katie is truly a strong woman

[@johnhenderson3646]

Katie is a switch splitter. Five years ago, she was lefty, and now she's killing it swinging that axe righty! Splitting wood is good, honest work. Keep it up, you two!

[@vaughnmaurt5013]

Sharp eye! Katie in beast mode Way to get it done!

[@TheLvablebird]

Hola👋 from New Mexico🌵🌶️....Ive had blue heelers that got skunked weekly😮 . The new porch is going to look fantastic🤗. Thanks for sharing.

[@eduardocarvalho1547]

9:00 The world will never be right for left handed people like us!!! Just love to watch your videos. I'm glad to know you got some rain. Many tanks from Portugal!

[@bradtatro8718]

Well Done Mrs.Paul Bunyan.....!!!!!

[@garysparks2681]

2 people, 2 days - breakdown, to painted concept, to sonotubes, to preparing the site for concrete. Now THAT'S impressive.

[@jamiemoen-bi3gd]

I recently learned something about chainsaws and falling trees I never knew about and quite frankly is pretty cool!!! Most all chainsaws have a perpendicular line to the bar on the body of the saw, between the handles...which is meant to be used when cutting your directional notch to use as a sight line guide for where you want the tree to fall! Now it's not gna make the tree fall exactly, all trees are different but it's a neat trick to help you sight in when making that notch. You learn something everyday!! 🇨🇦🇺🇲💯✌

[@gracelomas9548]

Hi guys lost my internet got it back what good work you have done guys🖐️👍

[@brucemoore348]

You guys are fun to watch! Katie has that winning smile, as nice as a smile can be! I watch a ton of off grid, you guys are the most fun!

[@geoffowrid2308]

Always best to cut them when they are still wet. Much easier than when they are dry and hardened. Great work Guys!

[@donnavickery9623]

Glad you have had rain !!!

[@francoiseg4337]

If any underground services enter your home (gas, hydro, telephone, water, sewage), find out where they are before digging. You had to place marker tape minimum 30 cm above the pipes the first time after it's easy to dig a hole later without breaking anything.

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Katie you kick butt, nice having Greg as a cheerleader. Juniper may have been keeping the skunk away from the meat chickens. Great progress and so happy you got rain. Can't wait till next week

[@oscartheg6674]

For 7 years I split firewood for room and board I really appreciate this. I found him sometimes it doesn't want to split after smacking it five times turn it over I'm not kidding Ame growth towards the ground.

[@deehalpern8988]

Geeze…my back was hurting just watching you guys split those huge logs apart! I’m off to take a couple of Advil for you. Be careful out there.

[@Linda-im5hp]

You go girl! I am impressed. You two are a great team.

[@Smcc0077]

Certainly a hard-working crew 👍

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

Wow Katie, well done you. I couldn’t do that chopping in a million years. Great work guys. You are a wonderful couple. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@johnkirby6547]

Great job you guy's 👏 Glad you remembered the water line 🙌

[@danielkrieg3227]

Katie You Are A Beast At Splitting Logs Holy Cow you Go Girl

[@jamesmccrary3468]

I am always impressed how well you two work together. That wood don’t have a chance with Katie on the ax

[@charlesbaker5015]

I’m very impressed with the way Katie is such a worker and you are a great worker too Greg.

[@suelotts7177]

You need to check out a log splitter

[@stephenpriebe944]

I remember chopping wood back in the day. I'm 78 now.

[@ritahall8653]

Y’all hard workers

[@c.davidcook3565]

Katies says "In yo face firewood!" Great episode and love the animated logo!

[@dennismutz8221]

Hey, Lumber Jill! I could really use some help with my firewood. Lol

[@henryminton4760]

I love ❤️ all the improvements you both have done to your homestead...😊

[@ronaldclark2624]

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Ron PTL USA

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

My dad and I have always used yellow cedar for fence posts or anything to do with outside red Cedar which is not as many because my dad only burnt yellow cedar for firewood it always burnt the hottest and left hardly any ash in this wood stove so that's what he burnt was strictly yellow cedar and seems that he worked for logging company since he was 15 years old he got all his firewood for free and they even bucked it up a lot of times at the way past the other side of Mount Washington they would buck it up and then after work we would all go up there and load it up on their trucks and bring it home My dad and my uncle operated the first faller bunchers that came onto the island my uncles was track and my dads was tires they were the highest seniority guys in timber West and I tell you they may he made a lot of money running that machine he started driving log and truck when he was 15 years old because he lied of his age until they got the followed bunchers my dad's name was even written on a rock Bluff on the Canyon by the backside of Mount Washington because he had a trailer turnover and lean up against the Rock Bluff because the loader operator loaded him upside heavy and he was lucky he didn't go over the other way because his truck and trailer would went right down into the canyon it was written Norman on the side of the Rock Bluff My uncle Malcolm used to run the tugboat on Comox Lake until they stopped running tugboats

[@sgrvtl7183]

SO HAPPY you got some rain! was very concerned for you💚 WOW huge tree! Impressive job of splitting....

[@michaelmiller7208]

Always pushing to get the best of Katie! ❤❤

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Katie is strong, like animal!! 😅😅 you all keep up the hard work 💪

[@warrenmeech8688]

Nice chopping technique Katie. You bend your knees. That adds accuracy and great force to the axe. Good on you for splitting big rounds in half, but it's easier to take chunks off around the circumference.

[@stephenlewis3193]

How delightful, moving right along! I honestly am impressed by your energy. Obviously a million things to get accomplished, but you both seem to be taking them in your stride. Congratulations.

[@phuongvo3051]

I can’t wait for the cement polls us done , great working couple ❤❤❤❤

[@MichaelFlynn-p9c]

Katie, you are some woman. Greg is lucky to you, another great video. You are both great ❤ . Michael. Ireland 🇮🇪

[@JeremyDeanMusic]

Katie should name that axe Lightning, because it never strikes the same place twice. 😂 Seriously though…total beast on the wood chopping! Love the channel. Been watching a couple years…amazing to see all the progress. :). Greetings from Nashville.

[@larrymesneak1334]

Katy is such a wonderful worker.

[@ralphsullender2474]

You are both hard workers I'm sure you will be ready for what comes. Can't wait to see the deck build.

[@clarencejonesiii2417]

I know there are other women somewhere like you, I've never seen one Kaite YOU PUT WORK IN GIRL!!! And you do it with a pretty smile. There's a gang of men who can't do what you do. Hats off to you Katie.

[@AlanaShuster]

I love the longer videos. You two are a great couple working really hard to make your dreams come true. I love following your journey together. Great job attacking so many things this week. Cant wait for the next video!

[@Tanks-Link]

Maybe you could take a stump or a section of log and bury it in the ground at the exact right height so when you disconnect the backhoe attachment, it’ll sit right on it. That way your legs don’t bleed down and cause excess pressure and it also keeps it at a good height for when you want to re-hook it up. Food for thought

[@charlesamasters4077]

Y'all is some hard workers,love watching

[@suezaple4950]

Great work Katie chopping those logs well done your both awesome working together getting the work done ., one heck of a work out you guys .

[@johyn]

you are a beast Katy. whipping that axe chopping tree and then muscling the chopped down tree 💪👍🙌

[@russellwatters5891]

That's an awesome start to a great project! Katie, if Greg ever steps out of line, you got that gurl...😅 Love ya'll ❤

[@donnabac]

BTW, I love the new logo. Two goats is great touch. 🙂

[@kennethblack3485]

hard work well done to both of you

[@johnyoung9505]

Tension is in the furthest out edge of the firewood round. So when the axe or maul hits closer to the heart there is less chance of it splitting. On a large tree round sometimes you need to create a fault line for the ring to split. Your aim is crucial and improves with practice. Also to save your maul or axe handle try to not split the far side or over the closer side of the firewood ring. You'll find that if it splits the handle will contact the wood nearest to you and it will split the handle or weaken it over time.

[@elwoodlindquist9324]

Great work together, the deck will be great you two deserve it good job

[@digger8090]

Spray paint the wall next to the water line to remind you where it is 👍✅🇬🇧 great content and hard work,🥂

[@Jaegandre]

before removing any attachment that hydraulically operated, turn off your machine and move or operate the hydraulics to deplete the lines. this help with the reconnection. like always, nice to see the progress you guys are doing

[@Montanagrizzly]

Nice thing about firewood is it warms up 2 or 3 times.

[@johnbeattie5765]

Splitting logs with some kind of hydraulic hand pump rig has got to be easier than doing all of them pieces with an awesome ! ! Happy Trails from Eastern Canada to Western Canada .

[@donnavickery9623]

Excited about your new deck !!! So happy for you !!!!

[@Geoffontheleft]

I am a new subscriber I’ve been watching some of your older videos and I must say I live in the UK and I think Katie is a remarquable woman the things she does I think men would struggle to do you got one in 1 million there

[@TheHavasu_77]

Katie, you are a bad a$$. Girl power!! 🙌🏻❤️ Edit: And then there’s this…31:40 😂 Juniper looks scared 😅

[@jeffg5065]

With all that dry Forrest, aren’t you worried about sparks causing a fire from when Katie wields those guns and hits those logs?? 😃
