FINALLY! THE DOOR IS DONE. THEY WERE HOLDING UP 321 THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS LIVES. NOW WE CAN ALL HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Cedar: “Does this mean I have Christmas covered?” Priceless!

Apologies if someone already mentioned this, but a couple large ceiling fans moving slowly would move that heat from your wood stove around nicely, and when reversed give you a nice breeze in the warmer months. Happy for you guys getting that garage door installed. What a difference it will make out there!

Good job Heath. Your taking ownership of your responsibilities is exactly what made me fall in love with your channel 3 years ago. I wish more men in this day and age felt like you and I do about taking care of our families from a love and safety standpoint. Not that others don't love their families. They just aren't willing to put in the work to move ahead and cover the bumps along the way so that the family doesn't feel it.

I love that you highlight you falling instead of just cutting it out! Too many "perfect" youtubers out there! Best wishes!

From someone who was raised in a broken home and who didn't have the best upbringing, it brings joy to my heart seeing families like this. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your lives with us. God bless and Merry Christmas!

How about a “carport” on the front side of the shop? Any snow that slides off the shop would land on the carport roof and then off onto the far side of the drive. Keeps the path clear and shelters whatever you park there. Design it to be the full length of the shop.

It's a Christmas miracle! Glad you got him up there and got it all closed in.

If you stay ready, you won’t have to get ready.

I may or may not have yelled “yesssss!” and clapped when I saw the title of this episode 🥳😬🥰

That’s side of the shop is just crying for a good 12’ deep overhang the length of the building to park your truck and trailer with a good size walkway to the door and chickens. Having all that under cover will save you a lot of time and protection from weather.

I have no idea why I'm so happy to see that door finally put in, just am.

Once the weather is better wheres the poppy seeds at sprinkle them everywhere on your land and they would regrow every year

You two and your family are soooo…. Normal!! All we ask as an audience is that you encourage each other all the time! There is a shortage of kindness and love these days! God prosper you and bless you richly!!

9:25 two stroke gas stove shooting flames from the headers.

I love how you guys sit together and answer questions, its really nice to get the depth of the conversation.

Hi there from Maine. My husband has been building over the years. Knowing how hard it is to get lumber he wanted to share a helpful tid bit ...your 1x12” that you are planning on siding your shop with, you can miter the ends of the boards at a 45 degree angle overlapping the bottom with the top to insure no water penetration and then you could use random lengths of 1x12” instead of having to wait for 16 footers.

Dear Red Poppy family I really appreciate your skill at video production. They are beautiful.

MAN! Getting that door up had to be a HUGE milestone!! Congratulations!!

At the end of your video when you’re talking about responsibilities. I appreciate that, I talk to my suns about that since They were little now they are grown men. Your description of responsibilities of family is what I have taught them about being a real man. It’s a life of sacrifice, but a willingly one . Kudos to you my friend, and thank you!

I would extend the roof line to the edge of the pasture. Create covered area for the trailers and let that snow and ice fall directly into the pasture.

This week, back east we had a storm come thur... A guy in NY state, sterring went out and he slide off the road. It took 10 hours to find him, he was calling 911, they could only narrow down a 3 mile strech of road. One of the State Police went out to look for the guy... while trying to get through the snow bank looking for a mail box, they had finally figured about where he was, the Police officer surprisingly found the guys driver door !!! Another person came by and helped pull the man out, he was put in the police car and taken to the firehouse, they took him to the hospital.... The guy is doing well, no lasting injuries. He was under 40" of snow ! So yeah, you need to be care full .... Merry Christmas to all ....

Love that you take ownership of your Responsibilities as the man of the house, and that you have a wife that trust and has faith in your word. Together you have forged a life that many can only dream of, but yet you show them that your life is a work in progress, one day at a time.

Cedar it’s always so nice to see and hear from you!

That snow hanging off the shop side is kind of amazing and scary.

GOOD Morning Red Poppy Ranch from Texas

Self reliance is paramount in your situation. Love how you say that you don't want to burden your wife with having to plow, it's not that she can't or that she won't, it is that you have roles that make it work. Glad to see the door installed, huge relief I'm sure.

Maybe you should consider a porch/shed roof on the front of the shop. Everything is looking great. Thanks for sharing

I like the end of the video where you both answer questions. It's a more personal touch. Thank you.

Awesome, this has to make working on anything in the shop so much more enjoyable!

Heath is in heaven. It's nice to see the fruits of your labor pay off. I can't wait to see the shop progress! Looking forward to seeing Cedar's present!

Your strength and energy never ceases to astound me. Your skills are quite diverse, and have served you well. I even seem to agree with most of your life positions. Amazing, considering we live polar opposite lives. I don't need to wish you future good luck, because you are the one who makes your future. Merry Christmas from a guy old enough to be your father--who lives in Southern Florida-- and has a 20kw generator with 2 backup generators. You never know!

THERE IS NOT SUCH THING AS BAD WEATHER. IT'S JUST DIFFERENT WEATHER.

Cedar your husband is amazing. The hardest working man I've ever seen. Other than my step dad. I growth up seeing this and its refreshing to see this again in a man.

The quality of your videos continue to improve The sit down sessions of questions and answers with cedar make the videos 100% better and more informative She is a gem, you lucky man Merry Christmas to your family

I believe a 2-stage snow thrower 8 feet wide mounted on the front of a bigger tractor with a heated cab would make you happy. One trip each way throwing the snow off the road 30 feet without any smashing and pushing on a pickup truck frame. Pickups only last about 3 years before they fall apart in Canada doing what you are. It's harder to push snow than move the snow off to the side. Fill in low spots for safety or the opposite side of the road if its getting blown by wind back onto the cleared road. Now that you are there permanently it's probably cheaper than repairing every season or upgrading existing equipment. It doesn't have to be new to use it maybe 30 days a year.

So add a carport to extend the roof over to your pasture fence to allow the snow to slide off and you dont have to worry about the snow piling up at your walk door or needing to remove it to get to the livestock to feed

Awesome way to start the day. Watching my favourite KZfaqrs 👍

Beautiful night snows, so calming...

To all that gather at the Red Poppy ranch this Coming Christmas,May the season hold much love and happiness for you all.

There is a "cost" to not addressing the issues of the road for signage, drainage, culverts, trimming trees and branches, and adding gravel. You have uncertainty, damage to equipment, worry, anxiety, getting stuck, cost of unsuitable equipment. You can continue to procrastinate and fight it or meet the issues head on and spend a summer season working on the road. As you say, it's your responsibility and you use it more than anyone else, so it should be up to you to correct it. It doesn't all have to be done in one year, but if you prioritize fixing the worst areas and have a written plan, the road will continue to get better as you go.

It's funny see how some little bit of people disliked it, it's their own frustration in life but the story behind your channel is amazing and how you manage to get everything moving forward and how important is to take care of the people we love!!!! We, the audience, should take you an example of what's life all about!!!! Keep doing it and Mery Christmas my friend. 🙌

MAY ALL OF YOU HAVE A JOYOUS, HEALTHY, AND WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND WONDERFUL NEW YEAR.

Wife later than should be getting home. Not a jealous man, a worried man = a man in love. So great and awesome 🙏🙏🙏🧡🧡🧡

The longest 2 weeks in history 😂🤣😂😅😎🤙🦅 was hoping you'd say adding a car port to the garage to move the snow into the animal yard.

happy Sunday , Thanks for all the moments

Hay all at Red Poppy Ranch just Marry Christmas and Happy New Year. That is all folks from a 73 yr old retired TRUCKER. You live the life i should have. Love it.

Heath you are one honourable gentleman!! You say you are going to do something and you DO IT!! Cedar is one lucky lady to have such a man! Wishing you all a safe, happy, warm and joyous festive season.

Merry Christmas to the whole Red Poppy Ranch Family, enjoy the snow, warm stove and togetherness. God Bless you All!

The mom in me was saying get that gas can away from the barrel stove, but the pyro in me was saying ooooh lookee at those flames shooting out! That’s so cool! 😂😂🤣

You are very blessed. Enjoy all that God has given you. The return on your work has been multiplied in many ways. Just don't miss the forest for the trees. Rejoice and be glad in it. Love your channel.

So glad you have the door installed. Merry Christmas to all the family.

I bet your neighbors love it that the road magically stays clear.

You folks are doing an amazing job on adapting to your environment! Hard work & creativity has carried you a long ways! Way further than most people could of imagined!

Great job Heath! Glad you finally got that garage door installed... game changer! Would like to see Rhett take over some of these projects. That’s what’s missing with this generation. Their parents skills are not passed down. Love the channel, keep it up!!!

I was beginning to worry about your garage door man. So, needless to say, I was glad to see this install get done. Now to Get the ceiling insulated in the shop. Then , that heater will bake.

I want to say what a pleasure it is to be able to be subscribed to your channel. I love being able to see your family and all the wonderful achievements you guys have along the way. You guys make a beautiful couple and you can see the love there. Our family is stuck inside due to Covid right now and being able to watch your updates really makes us feel as though we are connecting with friends and helps keep us sane. Thank you and may GOD bless you to continue to prosper along the way.

Ruby is looking really good, and I believe she will be the dog you were looking for.

I Love Ruby’s perch! She must have some Parrot blood in her background! 😁🤗

I love watching you and your family. The simplicity and genuineness is amazing. Love you guys, Cedar is so shy. God bless you all

You finally have yourself a ‘truck-dog’ she looks lovely 😊 hanging over your shoulder. She is picture perfect.

So happy you got the door installed

AWESOME you deserve that shop .

I can imagine how delighted you are to have a place for doing winter projects us guys love to do!

You're living the dream, Stretch.

Bandit is such a good boy so gentle with Ruby.

The look back at the camera is classic "did anyone see that look" 😀😀

Your a man's, man. You teach ethics, morals, integrity, responsibility and faith to many who have absentee parents. Your never afraid of hard work, and gets things accomplished. You are a true blessing to your family, friends and to all of us out here in KZfaq land. Cedar, your a lucky woman. Take care of your very special husband, father to your children, and to cyberland. Have a very Happy Holiday. G-D Bless, and stay Safe.

My wife turned me onto this channel. And I'm so glad she did !! Quickly growing to be one of my top favorite KZfaq channels.. thanks Heath for all the hard work !!

They say Christmas is a time of Peace and Joy....Watching Red Poppy Ranch weekly is my idea of peace and joy....Merry Christmas folks.

Aah ! Ruby is soo confident and loving

Rather thsn snow guards i suggest carport type roof extension so snow slide clear to other side of fencec but that just me but that also provide covered place for trailer or whatever and still allow passage to feed animals

You need a Door on the left side of garage Door so you have a walktru to the animals Happy Chrismas

Hope it will be possible to get shipping for your Tees and Hats to Sweden at some point. In the meantime, wishes for a wonderful Christmas.

I think one of the projects you should think about is a carport. It is always so nice to be able to pull in under a nice wide roof and get out and not get soaked. Perhaps build it at the end of the house facing the garage. I'm sure she will appreciate it....

Oh my word! You don't have a lot of parking! You do need a reality check

Merry Christmas to all at Red Poppy Ranch, thanks for letting us feel a part of your extended family.

I know about being cold. I remember when at my grandparents in northern Mississippi during the winter waking up and see frost on the walls all over the house and trying to get the fire started in the wood heater to warm up the house.

Sunday night movie time✌️

Merry Christmas Red Poppy Ranch family, as always thank you for the videos and for sharing your life with us. Have a safe and happy holiday season!!

Sometimes I think "Heath worries too much." Then I think of the responsibilities that you've willingly shouldered. Your word is good. You give your best. You learn from your opportunities. (A mistake is a learning opportunity.) This was one of your better episodes. I eagerly await the next.

Never been so happy for someone else to get a garage door installed before... :):)

What an awesome man you are Heath! Cedar congratulations you found a husband that also loves you and takes of you and family!! Doesn’t others that live off that road help? God Bless you and all your family! Merry Christmas 🎄🙏💜🤗

Enjoy watching MERRY Christmas. Much kindness and love 🎄🎁🌈❤

What a gorgeous pup in the opening scene riding on your shoulder

Cedar, I know he doesn’t read these comments, so I’m relying on you to pass this friendly tip along ( and I know Heath already knows this but sometimes it takes someone saying it to make it click) but if he would get some visqueen up on that ceiling in the garage, it will hold A LOT MORE HEAT. Right now with no ceiling installed he is just heating the attic space of that garage. Have him put up plastic sheeting, House wrap , or something to trap that heat down closer to the floor until he is able to finish off the ceiling with drywall or whatever he plans to do. It will make a huge difference in the mean time. Keep up the great vids!!

Have you considered adding another roof onto the side of your home - from the front porch to the back porch to park your vehicles under?

So glad to see that the shop garage door is finally on . Now you can work in the shop without freezing . LOL

I can see a 20 foot overhang off the Front of that shop just like I did mine framing and sheet metal roof 🤟🏻🤟🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You guys have had a year to be proud of, despite the virus. God Bless.

Heath, the one thing I never doubted is how much you care about your families safety! That has been very evident through the beginning of the build and even before hand. I love seeing the progress of everything you have done. Yahoo for the garage door going in. I know that means the shop will evolve inside. But projects Cedar needs done will be done in a warmer environment, for sure. Can’t wait to see what you have planned for her gift. As I always say to you, thank you for bringing us along for the ride. Your videos have been a good distraction of a challenging year. All the best to you this Christmas! ❤️The Carson Family.

so glad he was able to get it done before Christmas Heath. Merry Christmas to you all

SO glad you got your doors at last! You guys take care of each other, not taking anything for granted. In today's world, that is WISE!! Merry Christmas to you all!!🎄🎆

Great video.. Loved how you just bumped into your nephew... 👌👍👌👍

A number of folks commented on the snow sliding off the shop roof. Most suggested building a shed roof over to your pasture fence. It's tough to tell in the video how far that is but it looks like 12 to 14 feet . You will fight this forever, I know, I did it for ten years on my shed. Finally fixed it for a couple thousand dollars. Now no more ice and snow right in front of the door. Sure some might blow in the ends but your side by side can easily push that out. There's nothing romantic about shoveling snow! Merry Christmas.

All I can say is so glad I live in Texas no snow for me oh we had lots of rain yesterday but no snow. You all stay warm please.

Had a mountain home in Hood Rive, Or. with 1 1/2 miles of private winding canyon edge road. Some days it would snow so hard that I lived in my big old military plow truck (w/o power steering) pushing snow. Moving the snow out into the canyon edge. After full melt, I had snow push decks into the canyon that were a good 15' off the road on built up snow. Always amazed me how the snow pack held that big truck with the 8' blade. Marked the trees that I pushed by. Sometimes it would snow 4-5' in a day. It had to be pushed at every 1' of snow, for if it got iced up, it could not be pushed for the rest of the winter or until thaw without blade/truck breakdowns. Wonderful place, but I finally moved to less snowy country! Good to keep on top of it. Though on the shop. Why not put a lean-to out to the fence line so snow slides into pasture. Would give clear walk way and snow free space to park a truck and the trailer???

Talking to friends who want to buy snow removal equipment, mainly snow blowers were we live, I tell them to buy for the worst case scenario as opposed to a typical snow. Looks like you know that as well. I sure bet you were happy to have welded up the snowplow bracket in the shop, out of the snow and blowing wind, than in the middle of the driveway. And now with the door you can pull it into the shop, close the door, and do it in even more comfort!

Chuckled at Cedar ... "I think I never see you now..." Later we learned that we (the collective us) going to tackle some late night projects... Great fire place talk, you are a good man Sir!

The garage doors 🚪 are hung ! This is awesome! 😊👍💕💕💕
