Get yourself some walkie-talkie radios you can use to reach each other when the hubby is out hunting in the desert for dinner or kicking the tires.

[@Frank-Thoresen]

Absolutely. Not even expensive and it can save lives.

[@mindeloman]

@lcfnyc2007 - and being that remote, might behoove them to have some sort of shortwave radio setup. Especially if there is an emergency and no cell service.

[@garysmcdermott]

You could use that mast for a cb base station and communicate for miles, a friend on the reservation set one up for wifi and provided service for multiple households

[@aboveitall9600]

GRMS or 2m / 70cm HAM Radios. GRMS would be the easiest to implement, only one license and no knowledge test for a ticket.

Your screen shot of the nuclear blast going off behind your house hooked me and reeled me in. Your current video was very funny - as always - but there was also a lot of interesting, real-world information in there too. LOL, when I saw the first video of your "new" house, my initial thought was exactly as you mentioned - if the craptastic propane set-up that you can actually see looks dangerous, how much worse might be the part you can't see. Love your vids. Thanks!

[@phoschnizzle826]

Yay! Had to make some coffee to enjoy with my Herb-O-Matic video. The critical systems of that house are all so janky that a slab-up renovation might be the easiest route. I seriously doubt that there is anything to code.

You folks are so much fun to hang out with ... And hardly noticeable that a bit of learning is happening all along the way. Simply genius. One could call you both desert lifeguards! All that's needed now is a lifeguard tower, and some sexy uniforms! You already have sand and perhaps a 12 inch water column... Oh how does the land provide? If only I had learned to count so high.

I can’t wait for busters fort build! Haha maybe put a collar on him that would open up the door so he can still go play with birds when he wants but at night a safe cozy place to sleep

Outdoor cats should not use collars. Take him to the vet and do a checkup, vaccines and a chip under his skin. That chip can be used to activate the cat door.

[@mikekares-b8q]

Well guys The Propane fellow really knows his business . Seems to me your got a lot of work ahead of you to update and make your house safe for propane.Don't get discouraged it can be done .

[@condrumnumberone9456]

Thanks for the entertaining vids. 2 suggestions: 1. Tear down the house and barn and rebuild from scratch, using all electric appliances.. You have 364 days of sunshine every year for solar, and plenty of wind. B. Don't waste your time and water washing your jet skis, just use them more often.

[@Polecat54941]

No wash them more often and for longer.....

[@Unknown1880]

Fixing the grader so you can fix the road is a good idea. Maybe you can invite Matt from Diesel Creek for the grader🎉

Herb's a long way from Pennsylvania. :)

[@Unknown1880]

​@@gwpsr58Sure, it will be a holiday fix for Matt because spends also a lot of time at his place and it's adventure him, us and Herb 😁. Oh, Matts friend then. Forgot his name. He's also a good mechanic for the grader.

[@Calamity_Jack]

Dang, if only the land provided a tractor, or better yet, a road grader to move that sand off the road into and out of the wash... 🤔 😄 Buster's been playing with the birds it looks like. Making new friends, probably. Hope your gas pains clear up!

[@TheJimbodean67]

The gas guy knows his stuff. I spent 13 years working on commercial pressure washers and used to run into problems with lp all the time. There’s pressure and there’s volume. Commercial pressure washers can pull 400,000 btu’s and up for the burner so your idea for high pressure to a manifold sounds good. That way you can regulate the gas pressure for each appliance independently and you won’t starve the stove when something else like the water heater turns on.

[@grntchstrmdws]

Remarkable memory on Aaron, the gas guy. You're so lucky to have him. I'm glad you guys were on the same page. The colder months will make it easier to get into the attic. You'll be wanting to remove and replace any insulation there. Expect lots of rat excrement. (But is it worth it? As able as you are, maybe it would be better to tear it down and start fresh. Rehabilitating that house could take years, and never be done. The only plus side in my view is that you'd have plenty of KZbin material. And what about those washes, long term? That's gonna take some time and money to make right.)

[@GrandsonofKong]

Buster doing Hannibal Lecter voice " I had a feathered friend over for dinner....with a fine Chianti!"🐤🐤🐤🙀

[@2148738]

I have been in Propane business for over 50 Years and copper is perfectly fine for Propane. But it should be at least 1/2" OD. But the gas guy was right about the ball valves and the need for a High Pressure regulator., and if you need a larger feeder pipe would be 3/4"

[@KevinBKc]

Use that fancy tractor for road / bush maintenance. You're missing out on all that fun! Glutton for manual labor. 😂 love the show!

[@keithnoneya]

Wow, I'd just rip it all out and re-pipe that whole propane system to be safe! Looks like Arons is the guy to give you instructions or do the job for you.

[@errolfoster1101]

Take your tractor for a drive out to the washes and give them a tidy up. I second the idea about the walkie talkie

[@nicholasblue]

For your washes, just dump a load of gravel onto each of them. That'll get you through a couple of monsoon seasons, then you do it again. The alternative is to take your grader or tractor and shove all the sand aside. It'll come back when the washes run, which will give you something to do with all that free time. 😎☘️
