MOVING BOILER BREAKING STUFF, I SCREWED UP!!!

[@63vetteman]

You Sir, are the only person in my 80 years on earth that says "Not A Problem" and I believe them!! Congrats, you are a astounding engineer & a very creative thinker!!

[@lyerby2931]

I absolutely believe it would be totally fitting to put “Not a problem” on Jonathan’s headstone. Those of us that know and love him would totally get it!

[@billharden7127]

Johnathan doesn't let anything stop him that's for sure. Where theirs a will theirs a way.

[@bossbuick8615]

its not making mistakes it's how you deal with it after , well done johnathan

[@jacksrbetter1870]

No Worries JW, there's not a human walking the planet that hasn't made a mistake or had something go wrong. The last perfect individual that came along got nailed to a cross. Love the channel, work ethic, and the way you share the knowledge. Hoping you, Mrs. Jonathan and the entire family are in good health. Thanks for taking us along!

[@kriswright1022]

You can tell a lot about a man by how he treats animals and how the respond to them! You Sir, have a cat that just loves you with all her ♡, and it shows! Oh, and by the way, great episode!

[@garymccord4277]

No mistakes were made doing this video, only learning experiences on how to deal with every day problems. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@1963-Ford-Galaxie]

Good Morning Jonathan!!! Best wishes for a wonderful day!!!

[@ldean-du5im]

Johnathon, You are the hardest working guy I ever seen! The world could use a lot more men like you. Thanks for the video, always a pleasure.

[@drewnelson6463]

Even professionals make mistakes. But u know how to remedy the problems. Love your ingenuity. And all your videos. Keep em coming

[@MartsGarage]

Hi Jon, you should have asked the sawmill guy to help. With the two of you plus Mrs Jon, it might have gone better. I noticed he wasn't around when you had to fix it either. Lol. Looking forward to see how all this comes together. All the best, Mart in England.

[@greghunter426]

I really miss seeing Nannas cat scans..great job..

[@mwaofvt]

Wow 2 Jonathan's! Twice as much fun for us! LOve the vids. Godd Bless you and the family.

[@2tana22]

I was told many many years ago from two old-time carpenters, the sign of a good Carpenter was how well you fix your screw ups, that was my first lesson as a young carpenter learning….

[@philipcollins5440]

You do Beautiful work. This yard should be a Museum. I so very much enjoy your video's. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@dastofer]

Outstanding! Renascence Man. Mason, engineer, mechanic, iron worker, teacher.

[@b.atwater3904]

That dry sense of humor reminds me of me ! Dealing with clueless people provides us with so much material to work with ! Another one of your many talents... comedian !

[@johnhopkins6658]

"The man who never made a mistake never did anything".

[@harleyveejay]

My wife recognized your intro music and when I told her that you said "you screwed up" her response was " I sure hope he didn't get hurt" I think that sums it up nicely. Really enjoy the videos, thanks and take care.

[@stevem3413]

The most important thing is that you or your wife weren't hurt 👏

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

That was a bummer Jonathon😥 However, as usual you sorted her good. You need to dig a 2 ft deep pit at the fire door end for ease of access for emptying your firebox ashes, makes it so much easier on the old knees👍👍 Great to see your progress and hard work pay off 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@myrlstone8904]

Great intro - close to the truth LOL I have a friend who owns a sizable traditional saw mill.

[@buckeyejim2989]

You'll have that on them big jobs. Thanks for sharing Johnathan 👍👍

[@farmerbob139]

nice save on the brickwork. I don't think I've ever in my life regretted putting rebar/too much rebar in a slab... except of course when I wanted to break it up. ;)

[@claymileson6456]

One of my journeymen said to me many years ago, "it's not a sin to make a mistake, it's only a sin when you don't know how to fix it". Lol

[@JorgeFernandez-uc9qb]

That was one heck of a job you did that most would not attempt. You did a nice repair there on the foundation. Once you get those columns on there it will be fine. You cracked me up with the talk to the lumber mill guy. Glad he helped you out.😁

[@davemiller6893]

Did anyone else notice that the Sawmill guy looked an awful lot like Brad Pit? Another brilliant video Jonathon. There cannot be many individuals who have the skill and determination to achieve what you do. Much respect from England 🇺🇲🇬🇧

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Nice humour lol !good morning Jonathan! Nice way to start the day ,with one of your videos!

[@geraldharkness8830]

we all learn by our mistakes jonathan and you always overcome them!

[@williamb2642]

Nice recovery..you owned it man! 👍

[@markhensley9378]

Don't know if I heard you say it but you could cut and lay down a thin sheet of metal for like an ashtray with a handle to where you can just slide it out whenever you want to clean up under the boiler. Anyway, it ain't like it'll have any vibration. Thanks again for your time today. Enjoy the rest of your week.

[@zdenkoplese665]

What makes a good tradesman? Somebody that can fix his mistakes. Well done Jonathan. As always!

[@hankpugh4980]

Self taught engineer that cannot only design but execute his plan and usually by himself. Seems its never a problem but only solutions. I came to your channel a few years ago for the cars and hotrods but Im sure enjoying what youre doing now. How many men can find this stuff in the woods ,figure a way to retrieve and rescue it and then figure out how to make it live again pretty much by themselves. Best part of it for me is the preservation for future generations. Sawmills ,cranes ,forklift, building rollbacks from the ground up mostly out of outdated or discarded machinery. Amazing.

[@herbiederby3394]

Automobile , steam engines and boilers oh my .....Amazing......the ending was hilarious JW....🙂👍

[@tomscarborough8958]

Nanas on the job first thing !

[@robames1293]

Hey Jon THAT ain't a screw up, it's a minor hiccough. Heck you already fixed it. A screw up would be damaging the boiler so it becomes a garden art piece. Best wishes from Australia. (whispering) hey Mrs W, don't let Jon lure you down near the boiler and particularly don't let him show you the inside the fire box SHHHH.

[@stevem3413]

You plan the job on the way there. Your better half must be a good cook. You are a blessed man

[@SNxr400r]

You make everything look easy... and adapt to all problems....You get the job done even if you don't have state of the art equipment....Job Done....

[@markmclellon8516]

Great job, Made in America with Pride 🇺🇸

[@jimmymccracken9702]

just an idea, why not build a grate under the boiler that can be pulled out that pulls the ash when pulled out then slides back in, making clean out the ash a snap to do I did this years ago when building a super big BBQ on wheels that burns oak for smoking for hours, worked like a champ

[@edwardmckenzie3402]

Love the play-acting at the start of the video. That was funny!

[@marklowe330]

Every good cook breaks a few eggs. I still enjoyed watching.

[@brucejr.5833]

That's a near perfect installation. I don't know anybody at all that could do what you're doing. I've learned a lot by listening to you talk. Thank you and I enjoy the uploads.

[@talk2kev]

Looking great The boiler is coming together. You was talking about the four support columns. Just pour a footer and cut the I beam to fit. Anyway it's looking great.

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

You are a man of all trades. Good brick job. You can repair ,build, and modify anything. Your wife should be very proud of all you can do.

[@casycasy5199]

nice move ,maybe dig for piling under the wing where you are going to do the brick work.

[@kcraig51]

I hope we see more of the sawmill guy. Cracked me up!

[@awkwarddude]

Accidents happen, Jonathan, and you did a darn good repair. It looks fine and functional. On to the next step!

[@RXRSawdustStation]

Nice save! That's a sweet boiler! I don't know if you're aware but they make Hydraulic Concrete now that can easily lift concrete slabs, sidewalks, driveways...etc. Thank you and your lovely wife for all your work!

[@carlosmontoya8658]

No, no, I don't think you messed up at all, it was just a surplus atmospheric transference of stored kinetic energy. Always a pleasure to watch your mind and hands work, sir!

[@virtuestreams2616]

🤣😂🤣👏🏻👏🏻 I love role playing-thank you for the chuckles and grins, as well as the excellent and interesting unfiltered content.

[@timhanson2080]

Nice to see you. It's looking good and sometimes things happen to us all. Thanks for the video 👍🇺🇸

[@thomasbailey8306]

Looking Good Sir. If a Man doesnt make a Mistake now and then Hes not doing ANYTHING....Thats part of Buildin things. And the Weight your dealing with. Hell I would of had the brick in a pile under the boiler..UGH...LOL..You did a Great Job. Also a big shout out to Your wife on her Winching Skills. She should of been a Dozerhand out pipelining.She would of been a Hell of a Winch Hand...By the looks of it she did a Great Job...Lookin Good Johnathan Cant wait to see it fired up..

[@stevesalvage1089]

Great episode Jonathan ! Enjoyed this , normal hiccups I'd say , , wouldn't go back to that timer yard to order stuff , made me chuckle !

[@dennisthurston727]

Anyone can mess up but it's the talent you have to correct any mistakes that happen is the true sign of the perfectionist you are. Many wouldn't have done near the repairs that you did and it wouldn't look near as good. Great job to both you and your wife. 👍BTW my 6 inches would always be shorter than expected 😂

[@davemclovin1696]

That acting was hilarious I've never seen you doing anything like that before enjoy your videos for years !!

[@smarternu]

I should not be, but I am still shocked by people like you saw man. It takes patience and a lot of talking to make sure they understand what I want so they don't give me something WRONG. Still happens.

[@richardcline1337]

Hi Jonathan. Just an idea but why not fabricate a pair of doors that simulate the fire box doors? Putting them on hinges would make it look like they were meant to be there. Just a thought.

[@rayeddy528]

Great stuff Sir !!! Thank you !! God bless you and yours !!!!! Eddy

[@ScottsSpeedShop]

Loved that intro and your secret is safe with me, I promise not to tell anyone that you screwed up haha. All in all great job on the foundation and glad you got it fixed.

[@jerryhead4189]

anybody can screw up, young feller, but can you fix it? That's the question, just blame it on the sawmill guy. We always blamed the apprentice.

[@rogergoodman8665]

You are a rare breed my friend. In my 50 years I haven't come across many guy's like you, one that can first dream up the idea, then turn that into a plan, then proceed to execute that plan, compensate mid job as needed, and compete the project all while never missing a beat even when unforseen issues arise, do it in all types of weather.....and most of the time....by yourself. I'm just curious but have you ever taken a real I.Q. test? (Not one that said "for entertainment purposes"!!!) You have got to be a genius! I'm pretty mechanically inclined and you constantly blow my mind with your difficult projects you make look easy.

[@davidhamm5626]

A nice save on the foundation.Being that much off, it probably 10 times closer, than when they put it in.

[@matthewspindler4488]

Very well done love watching you save all this history and get it put back together so that people can see how it works hoping 1 day to bring my kiddo down to see this stuff and learn how it works

[@Rebar77_real]

Looks great on there regardless. "You're not being paid for when things go well." ~Some disaster guy, probably. Mum's the word. Great intro!

[@slngblde]

Sawmill guy looks a lot like the lead fabricator from cf manufacturing 😂

[@michaelguinn5736]

Morning Jonathan, with all that you do & have done, a mistake is bound to happen, you learn from your mistakes, now if you make the same mistake twice, then that's on you!! Be safe!!! God Bless!!!

[@dptp9lf]

Great job by any standard! BTW, i love Nana... and I'm not even a cat lover... LOL

[@SteamCrane]

Nice job! You're going to have some fun once you get that boiler going!

[@craigtittsworth9440]

I love the wise cracks about selling the logs/ lumber to Home Depot & Lowes, cracked me up!!

[@henryszubielski8601]

You never cease to amaze me Jonathan! So, you made a minor mistake... Great recovery!

[@ZMadtrapper]

THANKS fer postin lad !! It's really comin together EH !! WAVIN a hand !!

[@hiltonmccowage9436]

Fantastic video. Love all the steam.

[@hpelisr]

That was a good repair job on the brick, looks fine. That is one big boiler.

[@richardhogan8911]

Great video johnathan we all have things go wrong it's all about bieng able to remedy it repair which u made a great job of doing rich uk

[@jgwilliams5951]

I truly enjoyed this video and realizing I am not the only one to make screw-ups . I remember my father telling me to squeeze into the firebox and getting anxious about getting back out . He just said if I had a problem , he would just turn the water hose on me and I'd be right out .Worked for me , great video and and a great memory of my Dad . Thanks !

[@handyandy6488]

My father put me into an old oil tank to clean out the sludge when I was a small kid and noone else CV could fit. The fumes nearlly choked me and my mother was horrified. Once out they stripped me naked and scrubbed me with a hard brush and kerosene and burned all my clothes in s pile.

[@handyandy6488]

Definitely more Charles Dickens than Mary Poppins - right?

[@tedium37]

JW you are a wheeler dealer! Put wheels on a thing that would not move and dealt with it. Another nice job. 👍

[@dennisspringborn1103]

Love your show. Great projects. You are very creative.

[@jazzman9042]

Great stuff John, I think you did the right thing just redoing the brickwork, after all it hardly makes any difference and looks just fine. Excellent job go to the top of the class! AAA+++

[@davidingling9791]

Sawmill guy lol!

[@123holsey123]

Better have Nana keep a eye on the sawer he looks a little shady to me 👍thank you for keeping all this great history up and running. I wish you were closer I would really enjoy a tour of your toys

[@paulcorkum2105]

As always you make good videos and I enjoy everyone of them thanks

[@davidlacey146]

Love the humor and the the theatre.

[@charliesgrumma5388]

*For the four perches on the boiler. One solution would be is to take four heavy duty coil springs from a 3/4 or one ton pick-up truck and mount those solid to the ground or equipment and use scaffold jacks with the threaded wing nuts and a piece of plate to level the boiler from side to side and front to back with the weight of the boiler resting on the coil springs.*

[@randypurtteman1183]

Excellent job inspite of damage.. But it does bring the question why not use your Crane? Acessability perhaps? That boiler does look good sitting on it's base. P.S. why doesn't it surprise me that you have railroad jacks.

[@jamesbergeron8356]

The repair on the foundation looks good. I guess I missed it, but why can't you use the crane? Too heavy or stuff in the way overhead?

[@jdjeep46]

Jonathan, can you blame the sawmill guy with the glasses for the broken bricks? Lol. Good video as usual.

[@samuelsmith5098]

very good intro. good to see you really having fun.

[@VargeTom]

Everything you create is amazing, was the boiler to heavy for your crane? I apologize if that’s a dumb question.

[@johnmccormick175]

Great video j Jonathan stay safe ,thanks for sharing.

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Looks good from here and we don't tell secrets. Thanks Johnathan. Central California watching

[@artpam]

Don't tell the sawmill guy about the screw-up... he looks like a gossip to me.😁

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Not a problem Jonathan, you'll figure it out and it will be great!! That boiler though, it's going to be a wood eating son of a gun. I hope you have a good cheap supply source, LOL. Can't wait to see it fired up!!

[@Pull_It_Apart_Paul_Ham_CB]

Jonathon are you using mesh reinforcing in your foundations? Cracks are no issue if foundation is reinforced

[@handyandy6488]

Did you manage to seal up the crack in the foundation all the way across? If not could this be an issue with frost damage in the winter? I'm sure other people have thought of this and you were the first! Just asking, hope you don't mind!

[@curtisharrison4837]

It was going to crack anyway. I would say it passed the stress test. The columns under the tabs will be a finish layer. I noticed after the racket, Nana went back in the house. I think you have done all so neatly. Someday you may be the only power for miles.

[@camneilsen8234]

Thanks for the comedy 👍🏻😅

[@mikewinkelman7015]

Everything doesn't always go the way you want it's how you deal with the problem that counts.

[@barryphillips7327]

A REAL down to earth Man for our screwed up world, a man who has never made mistakes has not tried to do anything at all, JW makes the odd little mistake and fixes them himself!! Like Nina cat need one like her here ( among other things she is a great mouser JW told me while back, even with one good eye ) 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@charliesgrumma5388]

*there is an expanding foam that i used in Florida to reinforce home foundations near sink holes. I'm not sure what the product is/or called but I have seen videos where the injected it under house slabs to raise them up and solidify foundations. This looks like a prime candidate for that procedure.*

[@rustymachineshop9456]

Sure am glad to see that iam not the only one that tears stuff up when moving it

[@brianb8401]

havent commented for awhile, just wanted to let you know that you are an inspiration to me personaly. the way you face adversity is just great, thanks for sharing in all you do, stay well!

[@heliarche]

If that's the worst that happens you'll be fine. Hopefully the boiler isn't hurt. I was thinking by the time you got it filled with water, the rest of the slab might settle and kind of close up that crack.
