Sometimes it can get as cold as Canada, and sometimes it can be as hot as Mississippi. That averages out to Kentucky weather. You can now count on about 2 weeks of above average temperatures, with the end of that period well above average, and a couple of inches of rain, with no snow. After that... No one knows. Don't put away your winter clothes until mid-March. Get a carbon monoxide detector.

[@dannyabe6452]

Everybody survived .That's all that matters. So glad you woke up in time and took action. Sounds like you got caught in a chain reaction of bad luck. Thankfully warmer weather s coming.

[@joegentz4662]

Keep your chin up. You guys are doing great. Really appreciate the info!!!!

[@turbowarp]

The stove draft couldn't overcome the chimney back pressure from the weather change. (Whether a sudden barometric pressure change, super cold temps or wind)

[@veeemit9719]

I’m glad you all were ok. What a week!

[@brendahaire8824]

So glad you all are safe. Hope that you have a safe and Happy New Year

[@juliadulgerova3511]

Wow you guys really went through it! happy to hear that everyone's ok! have a good New Years!

[@ratterrier6181]

Wow I'm glad you were able to handle everything Happy New Year to you two and looking forward to more videos

[@donnakearse2503]

Bless your heart. You are quite a young man.

[@raymondthorne6055]

Get some propane heater

[@randyelkins9123]

It might be a good idea to look into getting a smoke alarm just to be safe. Hope new year goes better.

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

We have smoke alarms installed and I did make sure to test them. We just caught it so early that they didnt go off

[@stanleygallman7800]

Happy that you are hear and able to share this story with us all such a blessing to know that everything is for our learning.

[@deidrespencer5467]

Wow, what a week of challenges for you! Congratulations on coming through it all without any loses. I think you're amazing. From sunny Australia. 💞

[@crissy9792]

Well, you have had it tough. Thankfully you and the animals came through and you have got your problems under control, hope your new chimney top arrives soon. Well done on all your hard work. Hers hoping for a brilliant trouble free 2023. Looking forward to all your videos.

[@dianabuckley6323]

Ugh! When it rains it pour! It always seems when one thing happens for some reason other stuff happens. You guys are doing a Wonderful job on fixing everything! I love watching your channel and seeing all of the animals! It says a lot for young people that have the confidence in themselves to move away from family across country! Hang in there you've got this!❤👍😊

[@janrobertbos]

Thank the LORD!!!😀

[@protofmaster]

Glad to see you made it through! Just a thought on your wood stove flue pipe: if your flue height is lower than your roof ridge, then the top of it needs to be farther away than 10 feet from the roof slope when drawing a level line from the top of the pipe to the slope of the roof. If neither of these conditions are met, this could contribute to unwanted downdraft. May God bless you both!

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

Thats what we read when we installed it so we are 2 feed above any peak on the roof within 10 ft of stove pipe.

[@edeggleston1457]

We will watch your progress.

[@3sisters634]

Oh my goodness! You've had a tough go of it! So thankful you're both ok!!!

[@chasedamron7814]

If you get knocked down, the most important thing is that you get back up! Cheering for u bud

[@karinjudge7277]

Glad you are safe !!! So you don’t have alarms installed ? Everyone should have them in their homes. Even more so with alternate heat sources. I had 2 wood stoves years ago. Down drafts are not fun. Pew ! Stay safe !!

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

Man you were ruffed up pretty good. The only thing I can think of is Happy New Year.............

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

Right! Happy New Year!

[@stevendaniel8126]

I'm exhausted.......but relieved you are safe.

[@TheHonestAdmin]

What a bummer with everything you went through. However, I’m so impressed you were able to actually fix everything yourself!

[@carlmuhm3896]

-47 windchill in the black hills SD. I was told of livestock and wildlife frozen. I'm glad yall made it through the storm.

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Interesting video. It was very good that you woke up before the smoke got too bad and you knew what to do. It's good that you can work on your own vehicles and can fix your plumbing problem.

[@judyrola1891]

You guys are an inspiration!

[@ashlyn.thepasturedhomestead]

You are so sweet Judy!!! 💗

[@BlindFaith777]

Oy vey- what a week. It truly is times like that that test you and help you grow. Not only that but make you appreciate modern technology and all of your blessings. Guaranteed, your guardian angels woke you that night. Have a happy New Year! God bless.

[@billiardsgirl1962]

Stay strong, stay safe, better weather will come.

[@lesleywatkins1172]

My gosh you when through the mill! But you all survived and came out the other end stronger and with knowledge! 😊

[@marshanunley5197]

Would smoke detector help in a situation like that. They are cheap insurance. We had plenty of food in the house and just hunkered down. One of our boys had a pipe break in the basement and they have lost everything in their family room. They had a plumber out today. My son was able to bypass the leak until they could get help.

what a crappy week! I hope its all over now

[@eamonnoconnor3778]

hay glad your ok and keep the happy side out.

[@duff59ful]

You both have a lot on on your shoulders and handling it with conviction and positivity. You two are learning to weather any storm or circumstance. Bravo!

[@brandonious9060]

Now that’s what I call a woodpile lol

[@benburns5995]

Great video. I didn't have any issue with the original video, but hopefully all can enjoy with this new upload. Sorry to hear of all the difficulties that you encountered. Glad that everyone ended up being ok and everyone weathered to storm ok. If your hay was Alfalfa, they may have waited too long to bale, the hay and it got too dry, so there was some leaves lost. Try in the future to get 2nd and 3rd cuttings as the hay is usually a better quality. Are there any issues with cross breeding an Angus Bull with a Jersey cow as far as the calves that are born, as they won't be full Jersey calves? Congratulations to the 2 of you for weathering the storms and it's challenges.

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

We did get 2nd cutting from the seller, and it timothy hay. Half of it is great and the other half has a lot of stems. You live and learn... Now I know what to look for! Ive heard that jersey/angus cross makes for a great beef!

[@bristolveggiebeds5310]

I hope it's all positive from here on!

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

8 year ago at our other house we were having same problem with fireplace. i had a guy come out and he told me we needed to raise our chimney over 4' over the roof peak. after he did that never had that problem again. our new home we are in i made sure it was over the peak. I hope your fix works. The oil cooler orings are bad for shrinking when it gets real cold. stay warm there.

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

Well if this doesn’t fix it we will throw another piece on that will put us really high above the peak. Glad I’m not the only one that thought that was the issue. I was happy to see there was no coolant in the oil, just oil in the coolant. So far so go

[@karenwilliamson7425]

Yikes!! That is truly scary about the smoke!! PLEASE install a carbon monoxide detector (not right next to your stove or you will get false readings) but at least something can wake you if it happens again .

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

We have smoke alarms installed and I did make sure to test them. We just caught it so early that they didnt go off

[@colh5910]

I'm surprised you don't keep your firewood under cover. Because it has a high moisture content it won't produce maximum heat so you're wasting energy. Can you move the pile inside a barn to keep dry? Love the videos and thanks for sharing

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

I will go cover it soon. This is where the last owners tossed all their saw mill ends.

[@kylejones2075]

Absolutely rough week if anything could have gone wrong it did and it's still hasn't stopped tire on the bobcat today my shoulder still hurts everything froze I'm only about an hour north of you so I feel your pain dude happy New Year a

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

Happy New year!

[@randolphsfarm]

Lord have mercy it was so cold and waters were freezing within the hour. We locked up all animals in barns and wrapped pens. It is so nice to finally let them out and get back to normal winter. Hopefully thats the worst we get this winter.

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

Amen! Lets hope that was the worst of it!

[@barrypeterson2561]

It looks like you have a lot of cut offs from the previous owners. Probably more than you can burn in many years I bet. Maybe you could sell some of that wood before it rots away? I sell firewood and I do sell chunks and cutoffs to guys who burn in wood stoves or boilers.

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

Possibly! Im not sure what I would sell it for.

[@michellegordon4211]

How many pieces of wood do you burn through in a day?

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

It varies. In normal cold weather probably about 14-20.

[@JoeyOuimet15]

Hey! Love the channel. I have 2 cows like you (angus) and a couple steers. I just got a bull calf and was debating keeping him for breeding... But when looking at the cost, 40$ for AI (120$ each since I got it done 3 times this summer) or 1000-1500$ in hay to feed a bull it makes me wonder! You're ready to spend that much on a breeding bull for 2 calves a year?

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

Thats a good point! But yes we are. We have a lot of pasture for them so we will only feed hay 3-4 months out of the year. And hopefully this next year we will be taking our own hay from property so there might not be a cost in it for us.

[@JoeyOuimet15]

@@ThePasturedHomestead That's great!! Good idea

[@ritabaker3113]

[@inglis7086]

I am pleased you decided to make your Jersey bull into a steer, A jersey steer is lovely but a jersey bull is downright vicious - most farmers/homesteaders give a steer 18 -24 months to grow big enough to put in the freezer - if you are wanting to breed for a homesteaders milking cow try an American Milking Devon bull - really nice nature

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

Thank you for insight! We would love to breed our own future milk cows so we will look into the Devon!

[@inglis7086]
