IS IT WORTH THE PRICE TAG? The 2024 Honda HS1332ATD Snowblower in Action after a Snowstorm in Alaska

Рет қаралды 175,547

Күн бұрын

After years of waiting, I'm finally able to get the best snowblower on the market, the Honda HS1332ATD. Let's see what this thing can do after an Alaskan snowstorm and I'll give you my honest opinion in the end. We'll also put an Ego snowblower to the test, test out Heattrak heated mats to melt snow, and end the day going to Alyeska Resort to go skiing for free on Santa Ski Free day. Enjoy!

Hi Timmy, I'm new to your channel. Been sick for 2 wks and the channel came up in recommendations. Binge watched bunches of episodes. Enjoyed them. Loved your dad's cabin too. Really awesome cabin. It's been really fun watching what you get up to over there across the miles. I'm in the UK myself so definitely another world. First day back at work and my car was all iced up real early... but I didn't complain after watching you in the snow so much. 😂 Amazing how your channel and antics reach so far, and how you can make someone's day a bit lighter for them by just being you. So thanks Timmy👍 Really looking forward to see how the house goes and seeing some more road trips. I felt really proud of your truck.. 😂..yeah, I know that sounds a bit crazy, but just the way she always starts like a faithful old horse ready to carry you endlessly around 😂 always generally starting up against the odds. You really are a genius Timmy, I can't imagine how you know how to do so many things. ...er, fancy forgetting your head mount or chest mount for skiing! But you just filmed anyway no problem for you.😅 Good video, taking us along for the ride today..It is lovely there. Those heat pads.. grt idea! Well, hope you have another nice hot coffee or 3 (😂) and we will all see you next time👍🙋🇬🇧

Hi Timmy I've been watching your content for a minute now and I really enjoy it brother. The reason I'm sending you this message, I have been a carpenter now for about 43 years. I have been the one running jobs that I have worked on for better than 35 years. Seeing how you framed in your porch right under your threshold on that door that you're laying those mats on to melt the ice I thought I might give you some wonderful knowledge. Always under all circumstances always build your deck at least 2 inches below the threshold of any doorway going to the outside. This will save you so much wood rot damage and weather seeping into your house especially with piling snow outside your doorways. And with the living in Alaska I would probably recommend that you do 3 inches it's just a small step into the house but it's going to keep that snow how it will hold moisture well up from the bottom of the snow from getting under your doorway and rotting the wood. After you complete your deck and your decking on top of it you simply put a one or a 2X piece of wolmanized under your threshold to give it the support that it's so desires. And please let me add if you will, before you set that door in the hole put you a piece of flashing across the bottom bend it down on the outside bend it up on the inside that it sits against the front of your door and just give it a bend on the edges and crimp those hard to work with areas tightly together and give you a good piece of silicone on those before you set your door in the opening along with silicone under the door for weather related blowing of air. On the inside of your door just place a small piece of metal Just a quarter inch or so. Carpet or tile with easily hide this from eyes view if needed. I am always happy to give a young lad some good advice in carpentry when I have the chance such as yourself. 😊

@mikedamico8902 5 ай бұрын

hey tim, GC in Upstate NY here. In reference to your roofline ice issue, I think the heated pads are a good start. But the larger issue is the corner where different rooflines meet. If you are going to get a renter in there you probably should address that in the summer when more accessible. Looks like the ice/snow could give and fall directly onto whoever is walking. This could be triggered by something as simple as slamming the door shut. Not entirely sure what a good solution is, maybe an iceguard. Anyway, just my two cents. Love the video, the new snowblower is an absolute monster.

@timmytimmy666 5 ай бұрын

Here in Norway we have similar weather conditions. And over here when we see this kind of ice coming forming on the roof line, we almost always conclude that there is too much heat coming in contact with the roof on the inside - in other words bad insulation. When you have snow on the roof it insulates very good, and you need pretty warm weather for it to really start dripping by itself, and then forming ice. So this is probably melting from underneat. Just a thought.

@bredaspacapan6118 5 ай бұрын

The solution would be if he just enlarged the deck roof so it goes over the stairs and balcony... He can still do that.

That’s one awesome snow blower Timmy. My Dad had one with the tracks on it the only thing he learned about it was if you leave it outside it would freeze to the ground so he parked it on a pallet.

@tombass3288 5 ай бұрын

I'm going to go ahead and give you another little tip as far as putting in your doors. If you know what you're going to use on your finished flooring, you might want to compensate that on the height that you set your door off the floor so you won't have to worry about your door swinging your rug out from in front of it after everything is done. So if you were going to put the 3/4 inch flooring down on your finished floor you would want to put a piece of half inch plywood underneath your door before it is set in place. And so on and so forth. If you were going to put tile in front of your doorways you would want to compensate for your backer board and your tile sitting against the front of your Threshold, this will be depend on the materials you are using of course. Like I said you always want your door to flow past your rug that you may have in front of it on your finish job. Justin Moore recommendations from a professional Carpenter. Have a great day brother,enjoyed your video today.

Used to work in the area back in the day (Seward) and drove to Anchorage routinely. I always stopped at the Bird House on the way. I was super sorry to hear it burned down. It was a kick-ass place. I'm gonna drive back up there sometime. I'll devote a summer to it. Never had much of a chance to really enjoy it back then because I was always working.
