"We need a bathroom, right Hunter?" We put a bathroom in the shop 6 months ago, after 30 years or so without one. Makes a huge difference. Ahhhh. Can't wait to see the shop addition.

[@jasonthomas8770]

At least Landon has a splitter to use. My dad didn’t buy a splitter until I left the house and he had to split wood by hand one year. 😂

[@2551554]

I ended up buying my dad one so I did not have to go out and keep chopping ahaha 🤣 for him

[@nekoroms]

Dont know if i would call that monster a splitter :D more like Accident waiting to happen....why i dont use the splitting screw in our tractor wood chopper and got a nice hydraulic splitter...1000 times safer to use and dont have to fear for my fingers.

[@C.V._McCullar]

Same story, about a lot of things my dad bought after we all left home.

[@baanjones5910]

😂

[@rossmeldrum3346]

I've had to split wood manually using a sledgehammer and wedge for 20 years. I'm to poor to afford a machine. In fact buying a chain saw was a vast improvement.

[@paulrivers7248]

We all miss Randall but can we just give hunter some applause because I think he's a great addition to the fabs family 😁🤷‍♂️

[@Paul-ve8xq]

Watching you remove the stud from that tire reminds me of why I come to your channel. The story isn't "What cool thing is he building/working on?" The story is you, and whatever you're working on, whether it's cleaning up your shop, helping your kids with their projects, or the tow truck! It's been amazing watching you go from making videos in your time you weren't working your full-time job, to being able to make this your full-time job. I look forward to whatever future plans you have and future videos/projects. I appreciate everyone who helps you with this. Your wife, your kids, your brother, Hunter, Merlin and everyone else who contributes.

[@airic2897]

Thanks for being so positive and good natured all the time, its really nice to turn on some fab rats and relax.

[@chuckrf1502]

I enjoy this channel because you guys are just being yourselves and you aren’t afraid of hard work. Good on you!

[@jolujo5842]

Ditto that 👍

[@dave6501]

We'll Paul. For a guy doing some relaxing you got to take a lesson from your son's. Going to a haunted house, sitting back with camera in hand watching dear old Dad do the tire change, fix 3 gas pumps and finally do alot of wood splitting and cutting. You know my grandfather used to say; " if you have 1 done helping you have a helper, if you have 2 sons there you have 1/2 the help, when 3 sons show up there is no help." He had three sons. 😇

[@55VickyV]

Your boys are lucky! In the 1950s, I had to bring the wood in to the basement from the boulevard by dumping it through a small window. Then I had to split it with an axe when it was my turn to put it into the furnace. My siblings were to young to to help with either chore. My parents finally got an oil furnace just before I got married and left home. Now my brother owns the house and has a heat pump. There have been a lot a technology changes in my 80 years!

[@chrismartin223]

My heart jumped when Paul said "new shop there" !! :D That is so cool to see that FabRats operations can expand. Love to see more projects, but "hate" to wait 6 months to see 1get finished :p

[@youneverknow1316]

Agreed, something about a new shop or addition is like Xmas. Enjoyed Derek's add on and even the Goon's new shop builds

I had to laugh when it became apparent how much the boys wished you wouldn't find that fuel pump. That's soooo something I would have done. Then, insult to injury making him find the part that would seal his fate for the day, classic. Perfect way to prepare a adolescents for working in the real world.

[@larryehrlich57]

It's incredible what KZbin $$$,$$$ will allow you to do...and you do it well, otherwise people would not watch your channel. Good luck.

[@MissionRestomod]

It amazes me that you guys aren’t to 1M subs yet. I absolutely love the content. Very relatable. You all are like the cool family next door. I wish I was closer to pay a visit and buy some merch in person. Planning a National Parks camping road trip next year. Hopefully I can stop by then!

[@assocrec]

What metric is most important is their views, with over 500k subs and the average views of 350k that is where the $$$$ is! On fire and wish the FabRat fam all the success in the world! Best on KZbin

[@haroldclark1952]

From such a humble being to where you are now, wow. May you and others continue to be blessed with your work.

[@luciddiseasegaming7690]

I’m an ecstatic the way you are raising those boys. I have a 3 yr old, I was raised this way. Splitting wood, working for the toys I had. It’s awesome to see dads being dads and raising MEN. Thank you Paul, you’re an awesome idol my friend.

[@txrankin5]

This work ethic is something to be proud of. Keep it up boys!

[@MrDan1509]

When i winterize my boat i hook the headphones up to the lower unit and run a short hose to a 5 gallon jug of RV antifreeze that's sitting on the swim deck and fire the boat up. No pulling plugs or hoses. Only back tension off on the belts! Trick my grandfather showed me when i was a kid. I helped him every year with the boat, truck camper & camp trailer!

[@danielheadrick7286]

I'm glad to see that all your kids know the meaning of helping out around the house. You are definitely bringing them up the right way. And how to respect what you have. Always love the content Paul. Love the Fab Rats Family

[@quantumss]

My thoughts also.

[@detroitdiy]

I remember in a past video where Paul said an addition was going on a few months back. Good to to it is happening. Paul can keep all those sweet toys stored nicely. Glad you post some of the real life things once in awhile. Great video.

[@loraleecarey3228]

You should make a space in your new shop to store the parts you order for projects, then you'll always know where they are

[@MrJco54]

Remember to set up some type of water runoff system so your shops stop getting flooded...lol

[@tjtobin86]

Congrats on all your success!! New shop is a sign your hard work is paying off!

I really like the hood protecting the engine on the wood splitter

[@lonhoschar1943]

There's always "stuff" to do even when there's nothing to do. LOL!! It's always interesting to see what others have to do to get ready for winter. 70 yrs. in Nebraska and 2 yrs in Missouri. There's ALWAYS stuff to do! 😁

[@Praterphil]

Brought back wonderful memories if cutting, splitting and stacking firewood with my grandkids years ago. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@khoun261]

Never seen a log splitter like that before. Very interesting and seems to work very well

[@outdoor_le5261]

yea, I wondered how it would split. Still intrigued.

[@Gowherejeepsgo]

Can't wait to see what you got planed for the new shop, it's awesome seeing your older ez duz it Racing vids when the shop was so bear bones to what you have now and to hear that your only growing is amazing, nothing but love and respect for everyone in the fab rat family. Thanks for recording

[@centexsho3579]

Maybe it's just me, but I like it when the people I watch on YT have the same troubles as I do and have to go and figure out how to fix them. If I wanted to see "this happened and we fixed it", I would watch broadcast cable shows and such. It's really nice to know I'm not the only one that has to try three or five times to get something to work because I can't afford to pay someone to do it for me!

[@craigbuilt]

One of the reasons I'm glad I moved to Florida. No more splitting and stacking wood. No more snow and ice.

[@jenniferjohnson6801]

Watching Paul smash the cars was so soothing lol 😂

[@kfd629]

Congrats on the new shop, you guys have earned it! Probably my favorite people on the old you tube! What about doing a Slant 6 revival in the loyal ol’ Champ?? I have the same machine up here in Idaho, mine’s not mint either but she’s been a great learning experience bringin’ her back to life! You guys are the best, just clean livin’!

[@doncurtis7373]

Nice. One time in Eastern Idaho I split and stacked 5 chords with my Dad's homemade splitter - all in one day. There is nothing better that working with your kids.

Nice a shop addition with indoor plumbing and running water, Jiimmy cracks corn and Paul splits logs....!

[@gcslade7487]

Ahh Yuk ! Dumping RV black tank should always be done with a sewer hose, gloves and eye protection for your health and others that could come into contact with the spill area. Great hear the shop will be expanding, you guys need and deserve a larger shop!

[@passingthrough1954]

Paul I don't comment much but never miss a video. I have much respect for you, Matt and Robby. Watching you interact with your boys and the respect they show towards you and your wife is to be modeled. I am glad God is prospecting you and allowed you to go full-time with Fab 🐀 's. Keep up the good work and don't forget Who allows us to succeed.

Oh the convenience of a Chainsaw and a wood splitter. Wow. Many years with an Axe, saw, sledge and wedge. Oh well, gave me muscles. LOL ! I never doubted that Paul would not get it running. Gotta stay warm when the white stuff flies... The way heating costs are going up now, Wood makes a good deal of sense now.

[@robertordewald8678]

I really like your wood splitter. I'm 63 years old and I have never used a wood splitter. when we used to cut wood for extra money we had a couple of 6 lb splitting mauls. We went to town splitting because a splitting machine is too slow and I'm very tall and I had so much leverage I could split what other people couldn't. I would like to have one now. I really enjoy watching you guys, you're calm and you don't yell at each other, you don't get nasty. I don't need contention in my life. I don't need it. You guys are the best. Best regards Bob from Virginia USA. Ps I want a 1964 to 66 chevy/GMC truck. I would prefer a C/k10 or c/k20 I'd take a long wheelbase c30! Can I get something fairly reasonable? I want old truck not a trailer queen. This, B

[@schumannresonanceswithverte]

"You're not getting out of splitting wood, Landon" even if I have to siphon the gas by hand. Be thankful you got one with a motor. I grew up knowing what a splitting maul, and wedges were used for.

[@michaeldurling793]

I finally wised up and got my wood done in April, 20 face cord split with a wedge and a hammer, all stacked in the shed. I really need to invest in a splitter cuz I don't think I got it in me to do it again by hand.

[@kathyeberly366]

We love FabRats! Exciting to see the shop extension project. Can’t wait to watch. I’m sure Michelle is excited to see the yard getting cleaned up a bit. Or it could just be me. I’m a freak for organization. I’d drive you crazy. You’d never find your stuff. 🤣 Question…you are allowed to dump the black tank on the ground? We camp all over the country and have never seen that. At the very least pls wear gloves. My husband ended up getting CDif from a dump station. Be careful. There are so many nasty illnesses you can get from human waste. I may be wrong. Maybe that wasn’t the black tank. Just looked like it was. If it wasn’t, I apologize for being concerned. Anyway, you guys rock. Always look forward to your videos.

Ah the best parts about using fireplace wood, it warms you up several times, 1st cutting down the tree(s) & into logs, 2nd time splitting & stacking it, & the 3rd when ya burn it.

[@NoWr2Run]

My Dad use to be a Foreman for ASPLUNDH & use to bring home a HELL OF A LOT OF WOOD. It was already cut to size, I had to split it with a BIG MAUL & WEDGES. I was 17 when he finally got rid of the wood burner, I was so bummed out, LOL.

I donno about everyone else, but would be kind of cool to see a engine replace on a fork lift. From what i can see as a random dude on the net the body looks fine(ish)?

[@LZScout1]

I really enjoy your channel. After watching this latest video and as a long time 5th wheel RV owner, I hope where you dumped your tanks was your own private dump station. I would hope that you use a sewer hose when dumping at a public one so that the contents of the black tank go down the drain instead of all over the ground. I would hate to have to walk through that. I also have to comment that every time I see you struggling to keep your fork lift running, I wonder why someone with your talent doesn’t just take the time to overhaul it and fix it like you do every other vehicle that rolls into your shop. Keep up the good work!

[@bender6316]

I have to say, as a wood burner growing up, that is an ingenious way to split wood without a pneumatic axe.

All that wood laying there would drive my honey nuts. I think he has a touch of OCD and a very good work ethic and you can just imagine everything he gets done. This is my favorite time of the year, I mean what is not to love? Hunting, wood splitting, a fire in the fireplace not to mention hot cocoa. Uh ooh, now ya'll know all my secrets!

I had one of those screw wood splitters. One day I removed the left back wheel of my truck an put splitter on. Everything went well until I was grinding my way through a gnarly large birch . The splitter stopped grinding through , the hunk of wood whipped over and the truck took off across the yard limping for nearly 50 ft before I caught up to it and stopped the truck. A real fun attachment and dangerous.

I have never seen a wood splitter like that one. When I worked for a land scraper in Colorado, he had a hydraulic one that I used. Yes, I have done my share by hand also. he sold the wood by the cord during the winter. We also split wood in the winter he always had a big supply of logs
