Your channel is getting better and better as you build your dream.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thank you Doug - really appreicate it 👍🏻

[@sbodi4d]

Julie is so cheeky, and so pretty! Love her eyes! Lucky Ian.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

hahaha, she will do I suppose 🤣

[@AuburnElvis]

You're doing wonderfully. You seem quite sensible about everything, and even when there's a mistake or what-not, you just deal with it and keep moving forward. Good job!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thank you - we try, no one else to ask here so we just get on with it.... helps having you guys watching though, makes me think harder. 😬

[@harryiv6107]

Using the all thread on the lights rather then the chain is genius!! I’m definitely going to use that in the future. Thank you for the planer update as well!! Keeping the rollers clean is key in my experience. As always keep up the great work and thank you for another fantastic Sunday update.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thanks so much Harry. Yes, I didn't want the chains dangling and moving in the wind and it just so happened the threaded rod fitted really well. 👍🏻

Hi Ian, I have experience of diesel heaters (camervans) two things, the unit has to go though a cool down cycle when you switch it off, so I would connect to a 12 volt battery in case your power source dies. If the unit doesn’t do it’s shutdown cycle it usually destroys the control board. These are available as Spare parts. 2nd thing the exhaust gets very hot, I would make the whole in the shelf bigger but also the one though the wall. Those lights look fab. Great progress, Happy Halloween to you both 👍😃

[@michaeltempsch5282]

As to the hot exhaust - there's a Swedish guy that played with running the exhaust pipe through a sand filled tank so as to absorb (instead of piping/dumping it right outsude) more of the produced heat and give it off during a period after the end of the run of the heater. Not sure what the results came to...

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Yes, I am redoing the exhaust as I was not too happy about it. Trying to figure out how to get a similar unit in my car (no heating in car) and how does the exhaust get outside- thinking about putting it in the engine compartment (at the rear of car). I am looking for a smaller unit for this.

[@michaeltempsch5282]

@@HomesteadingUncontained Vevor (and many other China makes on the usual sites) have units w/o integrated tank, which would likely be easier to place (two smaller bits rather than one bigger)

[@noelmaher2301]

All perfect as far as I can see, best wishes from noel in rainy Ireland.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thank you Noel - reall appreciate it 👍🏻

This is the A Team

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Haha. Julie needs the mowheakan 😂

[@briansweeney2291]

You're video stopped at the led lights you got Ian 😮

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Just trying it now and it seems to play ok all the way through. 🤔

[@darcybarber9255]

Good work guys 👍

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thank you Darcy 😀

[@richardbodor3318]

I am so glad the cobwebs were brushed off the planer! More wonderful progress. Cheers from the USA and Happy Halloween 🎃👻

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

I know, I kept putting it off but happy I have got it working. Happy 🎃

[@liammcgothigan2094]

Hello guys 👋

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Cheers for watching Liam 😀

[@aurick861]

if the lights still have a faint light when they are off, you can reverse the wires on them. That fixes the issues. i had a similar issue whan i fitted the leds in my garage.... some were still giving off a bit of light.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Good tip - I will try that to see what happens, power could still be getting through the neutral wire. 👍🏻

[@Cattywampus555]

the heater exhaust will get very hot, that wood shelf and siding is a bit close. +1 to fitting a battery 12v.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Yes, when I put it in I was thinking already that I will do it again due to the heat. 😞

[@kevinbushey1879]

Wow looks great, you need to buy another toy to keep your project 😂.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

No morę toys.... although I am hoping something has just been shipped..... 😬

[@fredkaucher3694]

Good on yall.....

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thanks Fred 👍🏻

[@lorrainebayford177]

Love the new lights. 👍👍Are you all done with your cycling tours for the year. ?? OSB here for 12 mm is $20 Canadian Dollars.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Last bike tour was September, we could go into October as the wether is great but holidays tend to finish in September....so it is full on with the build plus working on my little rally car as we may have the biggest event we have ever done coming up 😀

[@AdrianParker-t4x]

OSB about the same in Pavia, Italy.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Must be a European price. Still it is going down slightly. 👍

[@Handleyman]

For a sheet of yellow tongue (floor or wall treated chipboard), 18mm x 800mm x 3600mm is $50 Australian.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

So around the same as here then....must be just in the US that they have it so easy 🤣

[@rjung_ch]

👍💪✌

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Cheers Robert. 👍

[@chrisstewart2279]

In Oz (Brisbane) a smaller 2500mm sheet of OSB is $90 AUD = €54

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Wow!! I don’t feel so bad now.

[@alk5749]

Great job on your project to date. Looking forward to more.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thank you! Really appreciate it 😂

[@Pinzpilot101]

That exhaust through a wood wall....test the temp.....you might be amazed at how hot that exhaust gets......might need ......some more heat insulation....remember heat rises so it will be much hotter on top..😃

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

I know, I don't feel good about it and stand there looking. I will rethink this idea.

[@Pinzpilot101]

Run it and see what max temp is....Just so you know, I,m an old Mercedes enthusiast and one of the options on 1970's Mercedes saloons was a heater like this....(taxis mostly that needed to sit for hours waiting for a fare and didn't want to run the engine.) The heater was under the back seat (I still have the fitting instructions manual)...and the insulation was at least 4 inches all around the aperture and it was special fiberglass (the kind that does not transmit heat) In some old films you can see this smoke coming from under the back of old Mercedes Taxis....this is the heater running...our Black cab blokes just wore an overcoat....silly buggers. (I have one of these heaters in my Unimog cab...does it work? in Minus 32 c I was toasty warm..too warm really in such a small space.@@HomesteadingUncontained

[@tiff9137]

Welldone lads great work, not too sure about your exhaust going through the wooden shelf🤦🏻‍♂️

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Me neither, I am going to change it 😀

[@zero.697]

Hi to you both been a subscriber from the beginning and enjoy all your content. I can't remember if you have broached this subject in the past but given your need for more electricity why haven't you installed a decent array of solar panels on the garage/workshop roof? Keep up the good work

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Hi there - the plan is to put 18 panels on the roof of the workshop but it all comes down to budget at the moment. I am building out the small tech room as the solar room but it will be a while before I can equip it. So, once the portable power stations 😬

[@ralphfell2119]

Anmother great video you two. You will find the exhaust temp. is very high, and I have installed my heater in my workshop and passed the exhaust gas tyhrough a small central heating radiator and thus gain more heat. Another tip is there are two yypes of central heating oil on the market. kerosene and 35 second gas oil. both with less tax on them, try and stick to the diesel or 35 second gas oil as you will get less wear on the solenoid pump. Keep up the great content.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Yes The heat is a problem and I am going to modify it. We can only get diesel at the pumps. We have heating diesel delivered in a truck (red) which I syphon off for other small uses 😀

[@everettvancampen3315]

Our OSB has dropped down to $13/sheet

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

That is so cheap, you guys have it good 🤪

[@theinfernalcraftsman]

I need to install an exhaust fan or two in my shop but I just haven't decided where to put them. I may end up putting one in down low so I can use it for blowing dust out of the shop. Sadly none of them are reversible which would be handy. My old red hard to see laser recently died and I have been looking at that one and a few others as a replacement. Looks like a decent unit. For OSB prices. I'm in North TX and I am paying $11-13 a sheet for 1/2" right now. around 5 months ago it was under $8 a sheet. It had hit a high of around $50 a sheet just over a year ago. Plumbing pipe and electrical supplies are still at nearly all time highs though. I'm expecting lumber prices to drop in the next month because new builds have slowed down and the inventory at the suppliers is starting to overflow. If it goes down enough I'll pick up a pallet or so to finish off the shop interior. Wow the taxes on that little tool for the planer were pricey. Need anything from the US as I can bring it with me...

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

The taxes would have been zero and even VAT free for us a few years ago - but BREXIT changed all of that, so buying from the UK is like buying from the other side of the world. But if timber prices are so low in the US it would be worth a container just to get some here.

[@thenorthernwoodhouse5015]

another fab video you two. when do you think you will be starting your house soon or after Christmas😀👍

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

We have one more retaining wall to build which finishes the driveway and parking area. From that line we can then start setting out the house which I am hoping before Christmas and starting the flattening of the site and footings.

[@georgewest2096]

I too had a used Dewalt Planer that came with nothing and I just leveled the blade by eye between the cutters and the deck and it cuts level. Either I was very lucky or any variations cancel each other out.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

haha, I did try that but it was easy with the tool. 🔨

[@charlessanderson2635]

Did you make or buy the sheet goods lifting strap - it looks really handy

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

haha, it is just the free end of the ratchet strap - I saw it had a hook and thought this may come in handy 😀

[@charlessanderson2635]

Thanks, I've got one in my shop - I'll have to give it a go :-)

[@MrPubsquash82]

2.5*1.2*12mm $89 aud 😂

[@louistorcello3525]

Yeah, I just had a look bloody ridiculous the price of building materials in Australia. Greed inflation alive and well here.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

That is expensive. No eucalyptus OSB then. I will stop wingeing now 😐

[@louistorcello3525]

Prices have gone up so much that many builders who offered fix price contracts have gone bust. It seems one a day country wide are folding.

[@trevorjenkins1976]

On the fan frame outside when you fit the rest of the Sidings. Would it be worth putting some sort of shield on the top so the rain doesn't site on the flat. Just a thought. I have a diesel heater fitted in my workshop, just to be safe side, I fitted a carbon monoxide detector.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Hi Trevor - yes, when we finish off the siding I will put flashing above and below the fan. I made a break bending machine so I can do this with scraps I have from the main build. 👍🏻

[@Pinzpilot101]

Red Kite......??? Hmmm here in Eastern Poland we have a similar bird....yes they have taken some of my free range chickens...and even tried their hand at kittens.....they are RED...but they re bigger than the Red Kite...and close up look like a small eagle....the local word for them is pronounced......YASH..CHOMP....I know I know....I should be able to write it in Polish by now....all I know is that they are big enough for one's wings to stretch from side to side of the bonnet of my Jeep Wrangler...(one of them swooped across the front of the car when we were travelling slowly...I was amazed at how big it was - even with big welding gauntlets i would be wary of handling one).

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

The Red kites did circle the dachshunds when they were puppies, we could not leave them in the garden on their own......

I remember when Google made so much money, it was embarrassing. So they gave away such a lot, such as the maps and street view. They took over KZbin which was free but now it's full of advertising and has stopped me from using Adblock. Very soon I shall be zapping KZbin, I'll miss many good shows such as yours, but there is far too much distraction. Quite spoils it.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

I hear you...I don't have any TV subscriptions and I watch KZbin a lot and got fed up of the adverts but I did subscribe to their premium (about €12 a month) and it is ad free. Saves a lot of time flicking through so I think it was worth the money. Some people spends hundreds on various streaming subs and they still get adverts. Keep watching 👀 👍🏻
