THE FARMHOUSE. First Snowstorm. Dad cutting Diamond willow. Jotul f118 Stove. Snow. Log Splitter.

The first snowstorm of the year, not a big one, but winter is here. Dad comes up and we cut diamond willow for future workshop projects. Trying to fix the log splitter. Chains on the 4wheeler.

Hello everyone from goderich ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Kincardine for me

[@johnberryhill8106]

That breakfast looked FANTASTIC!.......I bet those hashbrowns are to die for !......love your show !

[@ronsincere]

It's nice to see you help your dad. ... I miss mine. God bless his soul.

[@nancyl3843]

That old Jotul f118 is my favorite stove. They are great stoves and weight manageable. Restore it and it would be worth a lot of money, but you'd be surprised how much space it will heat. I think it's one of the best stoves ever made. Say "Hi" to your dad for me.

[@yragtgov]

Amazing the man moves from toy to toy all day long and never runs out of toys! 👍🤤

[@Joe-hc8rd]

Thank You Joe& Melissa for another Great video! We Always Enjoy every one of them! We miss Seeing Joannie and Chunky! Joe & Kelly

[@randallreece3636]

Tell your dad we all love him and we are so happy he is doing well. He's very talented with wood.

[@jeannienieves3655]

Happy dad is doing well

[@neilburow2782]

I just love watching your Dad I'm sure there is a real fan club for him and your family. If he is up to it maybe add him woodworking to a couple of videos. cheers from Australia stay safe and well.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

If you watch Joe and Zach Survival, I have a whole playlist called "Winter Workshop Projects" or "The Workshop" or something like that. Most of those videos are showing my Dad doing his projects. I will probably be posting more videos into that playlist as he comes up here more often.

[@w.a.stewart3191]

It’s fantastic to see you and your Dad working together.

[@elteescat]

I got my tent coffee mug in the mail today! I'll be enjoying a cuppa JOE tomorrow! 🤘🤘

[@susannepatriot6264]

Melissa, you'll get a kick out of this....My cat Mercy loves watching Joe's videos. As soon as she hears his voice, Mercy will jump on her chair and literally watch the video. I told her that Joe is spoken for but she doesn't seem to care, lol! Silly kitty! 😻😻😻😻

[@NorthernSeclusion]

When I read this to Melissa she started laughing. She said you can send Mercy up here to live. Haha.

[@jaynechoulai8539]

Thanks🧡🙏

[@williamr.kirkland6317]

Thanks for another video. Good to enjoy a hard- working man with so many talents.

[@louieysursa5996]

The farmhouse is really cool place.

[@dandevlin185]

Don't see much of Joni and chunky anymore you know they're part of this program too it's nice to see you again Joe great to see that you're home and get a little bit more home time then being gone for weeks at a time thanks for another great video

[@lindafoster2141]

I just love your videos. How blessed you still have that sweet Dad of yours. Happy Holidays from Indiana ❤

[@pamelathornton70]

Seeing you, your dad and son makes my heart swell. Love it so much...

[@davebores4393]

When you start the snowmobile in this video...I can literally smell that 😆

[@coreyjohnson2418]

Your Dad is Soooo Creative and Talentive--ENVIOUS-My Dad was also--all I can do is copy--'Guess that is an ART in it's self '

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Joe, good to see you and your Dad working together. That was a good looking breakfast. Stay safe and enjoy your winter. Fred 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻

[@skittycats]

I can’t help but laugh at the amount of treasures that you have stored everywhere. I thought my dad had an over abundance but you have him beat by a long shot. When we camped everyone came to my dad and he always had whatever contraption they needed.

[@MsWobie]

That old wood stove is so beautiful that it brought some tears….old finely crafted pieces move me.

[@natedebaere5180]

Definitely good to see your dad keeping busy. Lots of creative stuff going on in the work shop. Winter is here and the snow clean up begins.

[@iduswelton9567]

Im glad i live where our max snow storm is a couple of inches lol mostly we get rain or ice

[@NorthernSeclusion]

You can have the ice, I will take the 80 plus inches if snow we get each year.

[@craigporter5364]

Tickles me to see you and your Pop. Been 10 years since Pop passed still wait for his phone calls

[@rjt67]

Your Poulan revs up and down because you’re buying and using gas with ethanol. It’s the ethanol that does that. If you are buying gas, buy the premium fuel, most stations have none or very little ethanol. Don’t run ethanol in anything with a carburetor. Also, you should always empty the machines of gas and run them dry for storage. Friendly advice from a marine parts manager and former marina owner from Ontario Canada.

[@cpnotill9264]

Spot on.

[@la_old_salt2241]

Glad to see Dad's looking good Joe.

[@undercover5596]

So glad to see your dad being able to do what he enjoys.

[@jerrycrowe1180]

I love the palpable anticipation of impending snow. I live in Eastern England, UK and a significant snow event is about as rare as hens teeth....😀

[@rosewright9451]

I love the way you help your dad out, cutting the wood for him and making sure he is ok.

[@sandragoodwin2271]

Merry Christmas to you and Melissa, we enjoy watching your videos..I wish I had half your energy..

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Your dad is looking great! Stay safe! Hello to Melissa!

[@trutsieo5430]

Great video with a little bit of everything!! Can’t believe how much you have transformed the workshop from how it was to a useful place to spend your time.

[@davidmann3365]

Joe, That plate in the small stove goes with slant to the front. The top is a cook stove so the gases and heat go across the very top. My grandpa had one in the tractor shed for the winter to work on the tractors.

[@jeffellering7037]

Got my Joe and Zach Survival shirt today!!! Thanks for putting them out.

[@thizizliz]

Joe you must be thrilled to have your Dad close and healthy after all he's been through. What a gift. And he is so sharp too. I'm really glad for you & the rest of your family. The way Zach speaks of him is truly moving.

[@marcremick7718]

Glad to see that you are a tire chain professional now !!! Not a single unsavory word !! So glad that your Dad has come along nicely from the surgery . Stay Safe !!

[@davidwatsonii9469]

GOOD TO SEE YOUR DAD GETTIN AROUND SO WELL

[@genemcgowin5966]

I have found my new favorite channel on KZbin! I thank you for sharing a bit of your daily life here! You and Melissa have an absolutely beautiful farm! Never been to Minnesota before but it seems like beautiful country! I look forward to your new videos. Been trying to keep up with the current videos and watch the older videos. Of the old videos I'm to when you brought your camper to Louisiana for Melissa to stay in while you are cleaning up the house. Awesome stuff!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank you Gene.

[@bryantblake1877]

Joe, surely Zack has told you to NOT leave ethanol fuel in your equipment for extended periods of time. It is ALWAYS a good idea to turn off the fuel supply and run the carb dry before storing and gasoline equip, 2 or 4 cycle. Also, since you leave the splitter outside all year, the points are probably corroded and a quick cleaning with a file or sandpaper would restore spark to the plug. Maybe a 45 minute fix at most. Zack probably would have it running in less than an hour. For a guy with so much gas powered equipment your mechanic skills need to match your carpentry skills, which are legend.😊

[@tomdawidowicz8884]

Cant wait for another video...

[@doreenbillette8461]

Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 I'm wondering why is yr miss misslya like face 🥰 her beautiful in yr videos..

[@paulfedorisin908]

Seeing you with your father gets me missing my dad so much. Enjoy every day with him.

[@ninascarpa1460]

Love when it snows at the farmhouse. Thx Joe.

[@timcurry192]

Lusting after that gorgeous old Jotul. Whatever work you put in on it will be returned to you tenfold. Yep, winter...is here... ;-)

[@janmcnulty9398]

I love all of the videos. Your Dad seems to be getting around very well. That's fantastic.

[@earlrichardet2102]

By the way Joe that snowblower cycling up and down is usually because the idle circuit in the carburator is not functioning properly, the carb may need a good cleaning if it was left with old gas still in the carburator for a long time. There are a number of videos on Mustie1 that explains the problem and the usual fix. Good Luck

[@mso-ink]

The way you grabbed that beer on the railing...man, I can relate. Your pop seems to be doing quite well, glad to see it. Take care and thanks for sharing.

[@milwaukeemikee4063]

Joe your snowblower has a dirty carb that’s why it does not run evenly. Mustie on KZbin just did a video on fixing one he got for free, you may want to give it a look. Keep up the great work!

[@cchvac4919]

Agreed a dirty idle jet . It’s hunting.

[@crazycritterlady8788]

Loved the video as usual, you make me tired out just watching all you do in a day. I don't know how you do it. Loved seeing you dad out and about. Can't wait to see the cane he makes with that willow tree.

[@richardwilkin6781]

your dad is terrific! Looks like your shops are pretty organized but seen a few areas where could use some of your touch! Its amazing how good you feel when things are in their place

[@sandrasherritt9708]

My type A just wants to get in there and sweep the shelf on the stove and clean up with a broom around the stove. git rid of the ashes and stuff. I'm surprised that Joe doesn't sweep that given how often he cleans the tent table and microwave door with windex, and how often he vacumns up there. I guess some things bother Joe and others do not. Smiling out loud.!

[@BigDawg99xx]

Thanks Joe for the video....

[@jorunnpedersen817]

I got the same wood spliter. Hadde to have a New engin an got it, it the same a we have on the grass kutter.

[@roygraves8474]

I can tell you and your dad love life. I want to wish you Joe and your family a great Christmas. Be safe.

Thank you Mike.

Hi Joe & Melissa,interesting video.I hope you can show the robin house when your Dad is done building it.Take care & have a nice week.👏😊👍

That is some very good art work on the side of the stove, it looks great.

[@peewee.3138]

Great time to spend with your dad!

[@margaretfiggs2606]

I just love all your projects. And you make it look eas6

[@blklbluvr]

Love to see the progress and projects on the farm house. It all looks so much better than when you first moved in. I'm hoping you do some kind of faux bricks to the bottom of the workshop addition. Would look so sharp. Must be down to the last week of construction jobs now.

[@ronsincere]

While you were out at the tent, property. I heard the episode of your dad's medical trial. Good to see him well, doing things again.

[@sharong1812]

OH IF WE COULD HAVE A LITTLE OF YOUR SNOW I WOULD BE SO HAPPY!

[@wolfepup33]

Your wood splitter motor might have a low oil shut off on it … sometimes they short out and kill the spark … if it has one unplug it and give it a try

[@suzisaintjames]

22:55 WOW! Your dad must be in diamond willow heaven!? 💖🌞🌵😷

[@davep5972]

Thanks for the video Joe crazy how the weather changes so fast at least your well prepared for it. Must be great for you to see your Dad back creating again whatever he makes always looks great.

Got to love Joe's small engine repairs lol well it needed a spark plug so I decided why not just replace the motor. lucky he has a son like Zack who knows his way around a small engine pretty good.

You can have that heat and humidity. Its nice for about two weeks, then send me back north. Lol.

[@sandrasherritt9708]

Joe. I hope you tell your Dad how popular he is. So that he can enjoy his celebrity. Not everyone gets to be a celebrity without even trying like your Dad does. I hope we can to see the finished cane.

[@DeePaignall]

I have reflective foil on the walls behind my range - it reflects the heat so well - hope you stay comfy and warm!

[@margaretwilkinson9140]

thank you Mr Seclusion

[@russchandler5397]

I had that same stove many years ago,,But lived in a apt,,So i painted it black and used it for a end table by a chair,,

[@bradharris8307]

I'm betting that the wood splitter engine has points behind the fly wheel. You would have to pull the fly wheel off and then the tin cover that is over the points and file the points. They are probably white and crusty. And the idle circuit on the snowblower is plugged that's why it's surging aka hunting. I personally run recreational fuel in all my small engine stuff it has no ethanol in it. So it doesn't gum up your carbs. Hope this may help and thank you for the great content. Hope you and your family have a good holiday season.

[@jimputnam2044]

Nope just put on a new engine. LOL

[@bradharris8307]

@@jimputnam2044 right lol

That engine looks too new for points. Joe needs a large shed to keep everything in. Way to much stuff sitting outside.

I don't comment on many videos but listening to you about wood splitter peaked my interest, The advantage of wedge on cylinder is you can keep log on cradle to get second split not haft to pick it up again

I think it's time for you to get a shipping container and make it into a storage unit for all your equipment. Would look good behind the small garage.

[@markrobinson9154]

The plate is a diverter which channels the heat across it and returns the gasses out the back of the stove kind of like a s figure. Try it one of jotuls greatest stoves
