Just watched a whole lot of Vet Ranch videos from 8 years ago. I had watched them all before, but what a trip to see Matt as a young veterinarian again. I also liked the old Off The Ranch videos of flipping houses and working hard, educating viewers on how to build wealth. Your not-so-abandoned mansion is a testament to the truth of those videos! Congratulations.

[@maxquintana3902]

Thank you for fixing my truck Matt you’re the best!!!

[@clarejennings5049]

Miss you on vet ranch❤

[@defuller1]

Regarding the missing lug nuts, there were probably locking lug nuts and someone lost the key and had to forcefully remove them, and never replaced them.

[@jonnytoast]

Was gonna say the same thing. My truck is about to be running on 5 lugs not 6 for a few days (months) for that exact reason. Damn lug nut key is prob out partying with all the 10mm sockets.

[@christinacrump6881]

Our Temps were at -4 with a windchill at -24. Neighbors had a frozen motor, so we pushed it into our big building in the back. Hopefully sitting inside will allow it to thaw without doing anymore damage. I hope everyone is staying as warm as can be and having a merry Christmas!!

[@SupChad735]

Lol, we got to around -30 with the windchill during the night

[@ZachW0127]

-46 with windchill for us this week, all y’all need to realize -20 is NOTHING

[@gothemknight]

Merry Christmas! In Illinois we have all pipes running indoors, nothing goes outside, except the long nosle. The valves for those are indoor, so they don't freeze. Texas needs to update their construction codes for freezing weather. I am writing this with weather that is -2 degrees.

[@tylerwestman5258]

You think that Texas would of learned from last year don’t put your water pipes on the outside and the 12 valve will start if you let the glow plugs heat up before you crank it up and who need lug nuts 😂😂 one will do

[@fauxque5057]

Needs a battery as well

[@sethcornish8568]

Cummins doesn't use glow plugs, they use intake heaters. Also the batteries are junk, that pickup will start at -20 with no intake heater.

[@joshallen7169]

Should be here in Buffalo NY I wish it was just cold. -20 wind chills 70. Mph winds and 50+ inches of snow. With drifts reaching 15 feet

[@Girl-Next-Door]

I still find it strange that people begin to fret about the weather when it begins to get below zero. I've been in Northern Ontario all my life and we don't begin to worry until around -26°C or -27°C lol. Although I must say, now that I'm getting up there in years (50's) the frigid cold DOES seem to be more of a bother now. We've been truly blessed in our neck of the woods with the cold weather this year so far. -13°C on a Christmas day is unheard of around here, but I'm enjoying it! Happy new year everyone ❤️

[@Ranstone]

I like to imagine Mere's face, hearing Matt in the other room recording the end song's vocals.

[@thebluestig2654]

We've had electric pipe warmers on ALL of our outdoor water pipes for about 10 years now. They're worth every penny they cost, and they were NOT expensive at all.

[@timinashton]

@7:33 There was likely a locking nut on each rim to provent them from being stolen and the previous owner took it off before sale.

[@tat-2-71]

This is what I was going to say.

[@Sk1m_Beeble]

Somewhat better than leaving them on and forgetting to give the next owner the key, been there.

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

Bingo 👍🏻

[@Snowflakebabytoo9]

Hope you all had a great Christmas Love you guys

[@bc.cadguy6048]

I've never understood why they put the tankless on the outside, all the ones my family has had were in the attic space

[@sethwell]

If the attic wasn’t conditioned space then it would be like they were outside?

[@Skagzi1la]

@@sethwell yes and no, the heat from indoors radiates through the ceiling, plus sunlight on the roof heats it too, assuming it isn't covered in snow

[@bc.cadguy6048]

@Seth Maxwell the attics were spray foam insulated but not conditioned, still never had any freezing issues with them.

[@williameldridge9382]

@@sethwell heat rises....plus even putting them inside a lightly insulated shed outside would stop the freezing too. Exposure to the open air makes all the difference in the world.

[@hazmat6744]

I've had my copper heat transfer manifold crack. Luckily, the local heating guy replaced it for free under an outdated warranty. Would have been pretty expensive.

[@johnswicegood7000]

We installed our tankless in the attic hasn't frozen yet and we got down to 5°. Merry Christmas to Matt and all the Demo Ranch Bunker Branding family. May you get what you need and have a safe warm and very merry Christmas.

[@danhausman4705]

I'd assume the missing lugs were locking lugs and the guy just took them off before selling

[@amorton94]

That's most likely what it was. Why someone would keep them like that is beyond me. I guess he could have had different wheels on it all together and the locking lugnuts weren't the correct seat, but that doesn't really explain anything. IDK, people are weird lol.

In Florida we have the same problem. For the past for days we have been down to 31. Our wind chill is down in the 20's. The key to this is I am on the gulf coast more they half way down south in the state. We have not been that cold and our pipes in our homes are not set for cold weather either. I feel for the people in the top of the state.

Awesome and Thx for sharing! Merry Christmas to you, your family and Bunker Fam!

[@matthewellisor5835]

Man, do I loathe tankless water heaters for most applications. Turn off the heater and supply before it thaws and have it checked out before use. Make sure that you keep up on maintenance too! ... If it survived. A tip, unless you have a leak-detection system, is to leave a hot tap dripping enough to avoid the freeze but not enough for the water heater to fire-up. Good luck.

As a northerner who regularly deals with temps in the negative, even with our houses built to withstand that, we do have to do winterizing before the season starts still just to prepare things.
