Joe, watching you work on this, that or the other thing remains me of my Dad. He was an electrician, but also a bit of a jack of all trades. Watching you work just brings up good memories so I want to say thank you for that.

Been watching you for a long time now Joe ..never seen a man work so hard without any help ..your a machine ..all the best from outback Western Australia ..

I want tea made for me every morning What a good guy

Sounds like all you needed was a new blower motor. Lots less hassle than changing complete furnace unit. Call Zach next time! 😊

I just had a thought when I saw all your mounds of snow, that if you have a low spot near your ploughed areas that water runs to in other seasons, that might be a good spot for a future dam (pond) that you coud dig out to the water table when you get stock and you could push your snow into that.

We have been following you for a long time now Joe you are the hardest working man that I have ever seen ... You are like the ever ready bunny you keep on going and going ... Thank you so much!!! we wait to see all the new videos !!! Stay warm and safe !!!

With your build and your experience shines through it has been interesting to see you work on all the different systems that go into building a "home". You have de-mystified part of the process.

Im so impressed with your attitude toward the furnace debacle...i am not mechanical at all and something like that would be a huge monkeywrench thrown at me. You rock Joe!

Joe you're doing one heck of a job putting that guest house together. The next family reunion, that will come in very handy.

I liked the idea of shoving a fan under the coils. Brilliant idea to stay warm!

Total Respect, Dude!......

Great video! Love the perseverance!

It all looks so confusing to me. I'm glad you're intelligent enough to do this. Take care and God bless.

I'd run the air intake to the outside so there's always fresh air with plenty of oxygen. You can recycle inside air only so much. My furnace draws inside air, and the plastic on the inside of my widows balloons out, you can feel cold air being sucked in around the pipe holes at the tubs and sinks, like a beast starving for air.

Great job Joe! Hello Melissa!

Good call on changing the heater.

Lovely and quiet now

Aloha joe! Happy all is well at the tent, loved seeing all that snow.

I was thinking bout y'all yesterday!! Wow the new place looks beautiful! Great job!!!

Hey Joe you work so hard and I think that any break you get, you truly deserve it. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings! ✅✅✅👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️

The 21:00 minute mark. The yellow jacket appears. Time for a shot of something good. Thanks Joe. Great video. As usual.

I'm going backwards with the vids love the snow ❄️

Joe you and Melissa have a nice time together for lunch and a movie!!! That definitely sounds like a good time for sure!!!

Simple fix/fan.. Good job Joe! 19 degrees sounds cold as hell

I have the same unit in my house and did have one in my mother’s house before I sold it. I am very happy with both units-knock on wood!!

New furnace looks sweet joe! Guest house is coming along nicely!

good call swapping those out.. she purrs like a kitten. great job!

Good job swapping out the furnace. I would have never figured it out. LOL

Thanks for sharing Joe and Melissa, things are looking great around there. The new furnace for the guest house sounds good and glad you got it all figured out and running right. Stay safe up there and hope winter is kind to you all. Fred.

You Know more about that environment then I will ever experience in my life time, But I have been their for a short time, 2 Years in Watertown, NY, The 10TH Mountain Light Infantry Division, Thumbs Up....

Great move replacing the furnace👍.Take care .👍😊.

I just looked at your wind chill temps -17 degrees!!! A little chilly Jan 26th. Your trucks seem to start great in the cold there. We had to replace glow plug relay on our diesel truck. I appreciate your time doing these videos.

I don't know anything about furnaces but that new one sure looks and sounds better!! Great idea to just remove everything and do the floor and put up the drywall.

If you cut the return opening out using the same device (saw), those metal shavings probably went into the motor and toasted it over a short time. The condensate drain in the 90+ furnace is reversible (will go out left or right for convenience). A pair of sheet metal shears will cut that opening. And it will prevent metal shards from infiltrating the motor. I might add, the only reason a contractor would remove a 90+ furnace is if the primary or secondary heat exchanger opened up. I'd check that out before doing too much installation work. Always better to go new for a reason. You be burning propane with a 'cracked' heat exchanger and just drift off as the carbon monoxide puts you to sleep and never wake up. If you do connect it up to gas, be sure to install a CO2 detector.

Precioso video

Good video.

I chuckled a little as I thought, “It’s a good thing Joe installed that ‘temporary ramp’.” That would have NOT been fun to carry down a ladder. On a different note, I sent an email earlier today with a link to an online auction of NOS Husqvarna yard-care equipment. Hope that helps!

Your a lot like my dad he built a house from scratch and he built a dome after that he was not willing to pay 25 hundred dollars for blueprints so he spent three hours reading the prints and built it from memory smart man l always looked up to him he was a very driven man just a gruff but he was great

Gotta try Big Daddy's Burgers on Piedmont Ave in Duluth!

5/8's sheet rock on the ceiling, want too do it on my own place and you getting that lift, I won't have to train anybody to do it and can do it by myself, the way I want it to be done, Again Thanks, Ricky from Cape May...

Joe I surprised you dont have a plow on the old ford truck! It would make life so much easier and not to mention warmer!

Breakfast food is great anytime of the day..👍

24:20 might be a good idea to run it once a week or so for an hr just to exercise the LP system.

Your pretty hard on that four wheeler, I Know you Know what your doing and I don't Know anything about snow micro management but Wow, Thumbs Up to you and the ones that support you, Thanks Guys!...... Enjoying some down time with some cold refreshments....

I just come here to watch Joe pile drive that ATV full tilt boogie into the snowbank on each pass. I figure at some point he'll launch himself over the handlebars. One way to get additional likes and subscribers, no? ;)

Start Capacitor or Relay 👍 also sounds like fan motor or relay lol A thermostat and fan is all you need lol

Cool......

For the furnace drain make a little P trap that way it will keep bugs and the cold air out.

Date night for Joe! I bet he got an extra large popcorn with extra butter

Ordering a new blower motor n capacitor, would have been less of a headache!

Hey Joe I think you’re thinking of a capacitor during the talking about the furnace starting up

Blower motor going off on thermal overload. He was referring to a start capacitor. replacing cap might buy a week, month or little longer. New motor was the answer for now.

👍FROM CADILLAC MICHIGAN

Sounds like the Capacitor was bad in the old blower motor,easy fix! I agree with another comment maybe it’s better to buy a new furnace and have it professionally installed. If you don’t connect your air intake to the outside and draw air from inside the house you’ll drop the efficiency of the furnace. That’s why they are so efficient! You’re defeating the purpose of a 95% efficient furnace!

Let's see Joe, five eggs at ten dollars apiece I'd say them wormpeckers are well worth it ! Ha ha ha!! Nineteen degrees short sleeve weather for you Joe! Take care!

You really need a 2 vehicle garage for yours and Melissa’s truck. Just a suggestion.

Capacitor

Minute 37:17 ...and she sure runs "quieter" now too! LOL

You'd be better leaving the return duct off altogether and putting a filter frame over the return hole. You want to draw cold air from the floor rather than up high. Just the reverse for A/C.

That is a condensing furnace. Just remember it cant go outside. Buy a condensate pump put it in washing machine drain. Good job Joe your moving right along with the project. Also that drain can come out on left side if needed.

Woohoo!

Sounds like you need a soft start capacitor

Be careful with the red paper it can stain your finished floors if it gets wet. I prefer the brown butcher paper style , it may cost a bit more but I’m ok with that…

I was wondering. Your dad's cabin at the tent. Did he do the work himself? If so tell him he did a fantastic job. His cabin is absolutely stunning. The woodwork is amazing. I would love to live in a home like that.

You should have put a load on the motor from the start by restricting the return intake. They need a load.

By the way Thanks Again.....

fantastic video.....just asking do you still have your costruction business?? what i like about the videos is the information that you provide. thank you.

If that new unit is set up for heating and a/c the motor is 2 speed, slower for heat faster for a/c. The old unit may have only been a single speed fan.

Something is always breaking down.

Work smarter not harder.

this build should have been your cabin

Capacitor is the word your looking for.

Here’s the deal folks for those of you who don’t understand. By building this himself Joe has saved thousands of dollars. No one’s labor is as cheap as your own. What Joe wanted with switching the furnaces is the least amount of bullshit involved as possible. To him it was easier to switch the units out and move on with life as opposed to diagnosing problems, tracking down parts and figuring out how to repair something he could have much easier just replace. Plug and play. That’s why he did what he did. Less time, less bullshit and it’s done and he’s moving on with life.

Ever consider radiant floor heating since you have the wood boiler? I grew up in northern Wisconsin, and am curious where “somewhere in Wisconsin” was that you drove to?

blower motor capacitor... but I bet you figured that out already.....

U need to build a lean to between the two garages to keep the weather off your vehicles

9:04 just wire the fan to the air exchanger

I was telling my g/f that your new furnace was very noisy and that you probably had to install it into a sound proofed room/enclosure!

Hello, just a question? Why don't you face the plumbing connections on the furnace radiator towards the back of the furnace, seems that it would eliminate a lot of elbows and would clear the natural gas intake and exhaust?

So much snow love watching you move it. Sorry the heater unit went out. Oh! Question is her don still staying with you guys ?

Commutator? Ahh.....Capacitor!

The component you are trying to remember is a capacitor.

You have start capacitors and run capacitors. Those and motors are cheap and easy to replace. No removal, no driving to another state and you learn how things work.

Splash Pans too, under those units, with drains?....

Was there any warranty on all the equipment you bought plus service?

Hiya everyone!!!

If they ever put a wing stop near you, go immediately. So much better then Buffalo Wild Wings

It is called a capacitor

That's Cool, no furnace, wouldn't that be e e neat....

It seems like the motor is seizing.

To all you capacitor guys, there has to be a reason for the capacitor to fail in the first place! Chances are replacing it would only temporarily fix the problem! If the motor was going bad? Then it would also need replacement! Just saying!

Guest house is looking good Joe ....will we be seeing more ice fishing videos soon

Why not but your diesel in a garage it'll help on the start ups and idling time.

By the sounds of the motor you have dry bearings on the motor, some are oil able and will come right back to working when oiled ,could be it weakened your starter capacitor to.

What is the purpose for each of each truck? One seems to be Malissa's truck. One your everyday truck. then the two white ones and the one you call Old Reliable. I think you said one of the whites ones was your work / business truck. I like the idea of having different ones for specific purposes. Also in your area you always have one that will get you where you need to go.

What kind of thermostat is that? Is it portable to move from different section of the house? Thank you. Enjoy your channel all the way in Superior, WI.

Has that furnace seemed to have problems or something not right about it from the start? Seems someone talked about it being loud?

We are just now getting measurable snow here in SE Wisconsin. Artic air is moving in this weekend too. We keep the heat set at 73'-75' in the house. What do you keep your heat set too? That guesthouse is looking fantastic.

If you put your condensation drain where you placed it…it won’t be in the way of your furnace filter will it,,?

43:51 just curious, did Mellisa insulate her bees for the winter or just let them die off ? How much honey did you harvest ?
