February Is Gone!
Переглядів 1713 місяці тому
Welcome to March 2024! February came and went in a flash this year. Mainly because we were all fighting off the cold and flu here in our house all month long. When that happens I try to conserve my energy to do only the essentials and that meant that I didn't put much energy into social media posts. I am working on building a bow roof workshop to be a temporary building to work on my projects o...
The Garden Fence Didn't Make It
Переглядів 3895 місяців тому
After three years in the wet and cool weather my simple garden fence finally fell down. The high winds and rain that swept through our area brought down a part of the fence and the majority of the posts were rotten so I decided to take them all out. My plan is to leave the garden open this coming summer to get an idea of a new perimeter. I'll gather posts and branched to build another fence thi...
Uncommon Off Grid Ideas For Our Homestead
Переглядів 4986 місяців тому
As the sun dips lower in the sky and the days shorten, I find myself contemplating my energy needs. My solar panels provide less power during this time, leaving me to explore alternative solutions for keeping my off-grid homestead humming. Hydropower seems like an attractive option, with a few streams running through my land. However, the flow is seasonal and unpredictable, making it an unrelia...
Trail Camera: Is this a Coyote?
Переглядів 3186 місяців тому
So we have seen coyotes here on the homestead a few times now but looking through this footage I have noticed that this guy isn't quite like the others. A little small to be a wolf, and wolves haven't been spotted anywhere near our place. But really big and boxy for a coyote. Anyone have any experience to help settle my mind.

Trail Camera: Watching The Beaver
Переглядів 1457 місяців тому
I recently set up the trail cam in hopes to capture some footage of the beaver and I had a little bit of success. And we had an American flicker drop in and a Mule deer drop by. It was a lot of fun to see them drop by and I have the trail cam out to hopefully find more. You can now support our channel!

    Thank you for your video. I wanted to see what a cut off wheel would do with the speed of a circular saw. I am aiming to try 5” blades for the m12 circular saw given I can find the right arbor adapter. Mainly for nice straight cuts when I need to use strap iron or sheet metal for mounting HID ballasts.

    it's me again! I would never recommend this brand. Now, all of the bolts that hold the engine to the flywheel housing have COMPLETELY back out. 18HP works great when working. Before buying this brand I would recommend all interested to try and contact the manufacturer/distributor... Oh yeah, there's a contact number allright but it's just a loop back to the beginning (Canada). If you like you can email them but there is a charge for someone to answer your questions. To sum it up: the fuel tank mounting flanges tore away from the tank - had to weld that; Fuel tank to engine mounting bosses, one bolt snapped off, and 2 of them tore the threads out of the aluminum body - couldn't reuse the mounting bosses so I hade too remotely mount the fuel tank;; muffler cracked and fell off - welded that; sharpening blades by DISASSEMBLING the entire feed area; fuel tank developed a pin hole leak on the top of the tank - fixed with aluminum tape; and now the engine has separated from the body.. Mind you this was new in the summer of 2020 and has roughly 40 hours on it. I don't cuss but the thing is a POS!

    I would use my failure hooks as burnishing tools. Somehow, rubbing a hard, smooth surface against my hook seemed to result in a super smooth and even stronger hook. I would also end with a 220 grit sandpaper, but would finish after that with a chamos rag or a piece of old tee shirt, which seemed to bring a luster to the wood. I like the action you use for the hook part to dig into the neck with the knife and then drag it out into the lower part of the neck. I also paid attention to putting a smile on my hook after I was satisfied with how the hook got carved. It's funny, but that small attention to detail also allows your yarn to settle into the groove of the smile more easily. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.

    it's a lovely designed little building thing, sure the tarp being opaque and black may block out loads of light but honestly depending on how hot summer is there, it may be a nice bit cooler. the "noses" honestly make it resemble a barn, since barns i notice do have those little bits of roof sticking out at the peak.

    As you mentioned, we had a greenhouse with same plan outline in 70s. Attach firmly to ground, because a large fabric and arches can turn into an impromptu kite. Our arches were laminated plywood strips, glued blocks, not screwed. Make 'need bricks' a standard part of conversations. Found two sources within a couple miles here, for a little labor. Post a note at local bulletin board. They will find you.

    If you could get some kind of a gear box where you could lift weight during sunny days and use that energy to recharge batteries during cloudy days. The stored energy would not decay over time, but would have more danger than the ram pump idea. Ok I will leave you alone for a while.

      The tarp was most of the expense. It is labeled as a 20 ml tarp and it was $319 for 40x40. I found this one at the Home Depot but I had to order it in. It feels very durable though. It is what I was hoping to find.

    Great job as always. I hope your batteries are holding up well. Solar panels are as cheap as I have ever seen them. The rule changes in California I think created a glut of panels. So if you need to expand now may be a very good time. Signature Solar in Texas has some for less than 30 cents a watt. Would you mind giving a shout out to youtube.com/@kindharthomestead?si=mmGsRBwtj-gMBnhL youtube.com/@kindharthomestead?si=mmGsRBwtj-gMBnhL Maybe you could help him get over a thousand subs. I feel like you have a similar type of soul and work ethic. They are just starting out their homestead. $200 off and free shipping on orders over $3000 at signature Solar. I wish I was where I could put solar in now. They have a 3000watt inverter that might be good for a backup. Keep up the good work.

    • @Simplegroundlife
      @Simplegroundlife 2 місяці тому

      Thanks. My batteries are doing alright but I'm seeing them start to decline. I definitely will want to replace them soon. I would like to get more solar for sure. I would like to build my permanent workshop with a roof that covers the shipping container that is housing my electric system now. It would give me more room for attaching solar panels. Everything in good time I guess. I'll take a look at that channel. I haven't done any shout outs on my channel yet but I have been considering adding an element where we homesteaders and other like minded people can get together and chat about common problems and solutions. I'll consider it. Thanks for the great info!

    I have my Dad’s fencing plaits. I’m told that he bought them when he was 24. That means they were bought in 1934. “Were they bought new, Uncle?” “That was 1935, kid. No they weren’t new. If they was, your daddy couldn’t have afforded them.” I have no idea how old they are. But when you need them, they’re the only tool to use.
