I like the quote I heard years ago . " Nothing grows in the comfort zone. If your dreams don't scare you, you are not dreaming big enough" That is why I watch this channel. I love watching people make their dreams come true and not settling for a less risky life they don't enjoy working to make someone else's dream come true. Keep living your dream 👍

Whoa! good thing you ran the generator and identified the battery issue. That would have been a single point of failure. Always good to check things out before you need them. In the field artillery we fired 9 projectiles that needed a battery to activate the guidance system and arm the round. Well, no one checked the batteries and we fired 9 lawn darts. Batteries matter!

When we were farming when we first started our irrigation engines, they were on natural gas, we'd have to Crack a line till the gas would come out purging air out of the line. That's the first thing I thought of when you first tried to start it. Just a learning process. The less cranking you have to do the less wear and tear on the starter and battery.

You need a shed for your wood pile. It is going to be tough pulling logs out of the snow this winter. One of our Family members has their wood burner and wood pile inside a pole barn and they love it. The wood dries and they load the burner in a dry area inside the barn. You do have to plan the pole barn system so it is safe and workable.

Glad the Cummins fired up for you. My Generac automatically kicks on once a week to make sure all the components are working. It is hooked to the natural gas. I is a great comfort knowing it is doing the job. I love the wood burning furnace, but then you have all the wood you would ever need for it. It would be expensive if you had to buy the wood, at least here in Va. Will you be building a wood shed for this set up? Give Gina a big hug and let her know prayers are still going out for a speedy recovery. Your foliage is beautiful. Have a Blessed day.

Speaking with experience with the importance of power, I am a disabled women on oxygen everyday all day. I have my limits on walking. It gets hard but I make the best of every day until I have NO power. Last night I lost power at 7pm not to have power again until 3am. For me that is a long time, but I do have my tanks I use when it does go out they just don't last long so I have to make sure when I order to keep some on hand for that reason. Power is no joke so I am a full believer to what you are doing. I wish I could but again I make the best of what I have. Great job on it all Al. Speedy recover for our Gina, miss her beautiful face.

Love the Farm to Table restaurant idea! Think you guys would do well with that! There is a Farm to Table restaurant in Lincoln NH area that does very well. For burning firewood dry hardwood is the best for heat as well as it doesn't build up creosote which can cause a chimney fire. Softwood causes a creosote buildup, burns up quicker and doesn't heat as well. Continuing to pray for complete healing for Gina! 🙏❤️

Try whole grains. It's healthier and you will grow to love the taste over the refined. The "Back to Eden" book states that if you want to get pancreatic cancer, eat white bread with butter every day. I had a co-worker in her 50s die from it, and white bread and butter was her favorite comfort food. ( I hadn't read the book till years after her death.) Keep the butter, though. Butter is GOOD!

In principle, the amount of energy (heat) you get out of wood depends on the kind of wood, oak is higher than most other hardwoods, poplar is on the lower end for hardwoods. Gasification is good at getting all the energy out of the wood, but the wood needs to be dry. When wood is not seasoned enough, some of the energy is needed to evaporate the moisture. That energy is then not used to make heat. So dry wood burns and gasifies the most efficiently. I hope Gina gets well soon.

I could go crazy cutting those small trees into firewood. Working outside, cleaning up the trails and stacking it for future use....that sounds so wonderful. I am wondering how Figaro will like it there. I do worry about animals who might want him for a snack☹️

A "learning center" homestead farming and harvesting" is what you are destine to have on that property! I suggest a "tiny house village" on the property for living quarters that house worker/ students for homesteading learning and meet-ups for the like minded.

WaSU has some type of an Organic Farming degree; supposedly the first in the country, or the first of its type in the country . I know that for some time, they had some type of an internship program going on which was reasonably open specification wise; I think they are more specific anymore. But WSU is nolomger the only.

Dennis st Germaine that is what I would love to do if I ever hit the lottery. I'm in a wheelchair now but I still grow some of my food in my gardens (tall raised beds) and animals ( chickens and rabbits). But I would love to get 100 acres to be able to get beef cows pigs and a couple milk goats.

You will have a almost perfect setup when your done. If you close the grapple not tight when you disconnect it, you won't have pressure in the lines when you go to hook them back up and it might be easier. With the fingers in the air there is pressure on one line cause they want to fall. You may know this but I thought I would mention it incase you didn't.

Better to remind someone than have a mistake made because they forgot or didn't know. It's how you word it that prevents the sting that sometime accompany a reminder. That and "I told you so!" which really raises the hackles.

The absolute best way to keep the battery charged is to regularly exercise your generator. Mine runs for 20 minutes every week under full load. I make sure it cranks and transfers correctly every week.

@@StoneKathryn I had two standby generators for my Chicken operation and the company wanted maintainers on the batteries. Many of the batteries failed because of overcharging. 20-30 minutes of running under load will keep your batteries charged and your engine in shape. I always took the maintainers off and had no problems.

Good Morning Al, Everything is looking good on the off-grid property. The fall foliage is looking spectacular. Continue to dream big and trust in the goodness of God. Dreams do come true. Sending continued healing prayers for Gina. I’m sure she is chomping at the bits to get back out on the property but be patient, follow the doctors orders and you will be back on your feet soon. God Bless each of you.

You loose me with all your technical stuff, but then you explain it and then I understand what it does. I always wanted radiant heat. It is the warmest heat. We have learned so much about building from you and what works best. Praying Gina is still recovering well. I miss seeing her telling you what a mess you are making. That always give me a chuckle. Your house is so awesome and being off grid is really fascinating. Anxious to see all your critters there.
