Dried in - Part 1 of 2 // E142

[@deniseatottawa2674]

As much as cutting down trees is painful, it does provide good forest management practices. It allows sunlight to penetrate the forest floor and allows for better growth for younger trees that would have been suffocated by older/bigger trees. Nice work - it looks wonderful.

John, another great video from you. Wish we saw you and meg more often. Keep up the great work!

[@billnjune]

So good to see you back again. You have such good, worthwhile content. I always look forward to the next adventure. I wish that you could grow the channel so it would be more worthwhile.

"...there is nothing like a good piece of hickory..." High plains Drifter. It is the first thing that comes to my mind when someone says hickory. I make my own tool handles out of hickory. It has a toughness to it but just that right give to cushion each blow for my old shoulders.

[@martincanella3738]

Good to see Ya's, Again. Always looking forward to seeing how you are progressing. Take Care be safe, all of You's.

[@redbudfarm]

Nice work Jon! Things are really coming together. That view is awesome!

[@fredeerickbays]

the view is good. Mine is form the rim of the Allegany Plateau looking do East. On clear day it is about a 20 ml view.

[@angelsteiner6756]

Hey Jon & Meg! 👋 That view 😍 🏔️ Office is coming along for sure. This journey is so much fun ❤

Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. Dog and a half long and half a dog high = good dog. I'd bet people really looked forward to the hickory nut harvest around there. The thing you're trying to do makes good sense to me.

[@jangiesler4374]

So good to see you! Love the progress! Thanks for the safety comments. :-) Love knowing you are safe.

Hi Jan 👋

[@WayneBbb]

its about time we were fixinf to come check on youall

[@rogerdudra178]

You make a spot and every bug in the forest moves in. Cool of you to build it for them.

[@Nena84734]

John, you are so talented!!!

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Good to see another video 😂 I was just wondering about you kids yesterday... It was good that Meg could pop in for a very short moment 😊 Hopefully we'll see more of her next week .... I love you kids and am proud of the work you kids have done so far... Be blessed in Jesus' name... BBE ❤❤❤❤

[@WalnutsandWineberries]

Thanks Bobby!

[@robinpearson4583]

John, Just a point you may like to consider, if you use the the same material on the main house. I heard you say that staples have no surface area, but I'm about to suggest that before going around those corners, how about stapling a reinforcing strip of Tyvek, just to save any possible tearing later in construction where it will be almost impossible to access. Regards Robin.

[@sidgreatorex5484]

It’s good to see you all on utube 😊

[@allthings2allmen]

Lookin' good there John! Always good to see the progress! I was just thinking about y'all the other day. I really like that spot that is a spectacular view of the mountains.

[@allthings2allmen]

I have to add here that I am looking forward to moving from South Alabama up to maybe North Carolina or East Tennessee. That's pretty much mountains & basically the same as where y'all live. My Dad who was 80yrs old (loved watching your channel) passed away last November. My mother & I are planning to move within the next 2 years, if not sooner. The rural life is the best! It's especially great when you don't live so far from some major hub. Then you can live comfortably & get'r dun!

[@barbdroivold8018]

Yes good to see you back again!! Miss seeing Meg more but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!! I see you have a quad runner now! You didn’t always have that right? Did the other thing croak for good? I forgot what you called it! Well have a great week and keep on keepin on!! 😊

[@danmooney7192]

Once you get the siding on, what is holding the house wrap on is kind of a moot point. But when it's all said and done it needs to be built to your satisfaction. Either way good job!

[@johnbusic3608]

It seems like forever since I watched your progression on the home front builds. You build them right bro ! Those structures will be there 150 yrs from now. I got a suggestion - train one of your daughters to be the camera person to speed up recording. Wife and I really enjoy your family, your channel and the interesting content - love your dogs too ! - Jeb & Reb from Texas

[@WalnutsandWineberries]

Thanks! My oldest daughter helps here and there so it's not always a tripod shot. Seems to enjoy doing it.

[@waltervizsla3977]

Great intro music! Awesome work.

[@WalnutsandWineberries]

🤘🎸

[@jimhart4488]

Tyvek doesn't tear easily. Because it is a underlayment, the exposure is temporary and whatever you put over it will hold it in place permanently, so staples will usually work just fine to hold it in place until it is covered. I would only use the more expensive nails it the Tyvek was going to be left exposed for a while.

[@rogerdudra178]

If that road was in Montana, the only way to travel it would be cross country skis in the winter. I'll bet that's several thousand dollars of lumber you took from that kiln.

[@CostaMesaPhotography]

I forgot just how long your road is!

[@kenz-e9o]

:) see a new video thanks' for sharing :))

[@fredeerickbays]

get the kids to get them each day. That is what I did for a few yr. Then they left for college and I have been doin it for the last 22 yr.

[@WalnutsandWineberries]

I have learned the first ones to drop are always spoiled. The second set is where it's at.

[@rogerdudra178]

The dryness of that wood settles any argument for doing it another way to me. I don't think it is good to see that stuff coming out of the front.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

But you ended up taping the window incorrectly. Yes to the tape on the sill before the window is installed. Then on the outside after the install tape the sides and the top only. Do not tape the bottom of the window on the outside becuse you cover the weepholes that allow moisture to escape.

[@WalnutsandWineberries]

I sure did. Should have watched their video twice. If you noticed, I didn't silicone the bottom, but then I tape over it! 🤦

[@normp.3657]

John, after watching you on the quad, I want to know the stories of what you have done, and could have killed yourself if not for divine intervention. You are knowledgeable, but a bit on the wild side, so I am sure there must be some stories. We were all once city slickers, so we know you have had some close close calls. Let's hear about them?
