What is the material you're putting in the base for the tank to sit on?

Looks great Steve! That next build site is gonna be a challenge to get prepared! Take care👊🏻

Cabin is looking good Steve!👍👍

I saw the eclipse from my yard in Indiana also. That rock might be an Indian relic or possibly it was made by water.

The cabin is looking great . I just had my second knee replaced last Oct . Now I have 2 new knees . Best thing I ever done . 👍🏻🇺🇸

Good looking place for the. New one just get it up away from the branches. It can come down hard. I got nrw knee and a bad one with shots in it. Doing better at 68. Good vid. Washed away on Memorial weekend

We had like 99.8% totality here in Maine so it was pretty kick ass seeing that ring. And damn that darkness before that was kinda evil feeling ! But the beer helped 😂🍺 take care man

I'm from Indianapolis Indiana saw it from my front yard.

you got the wrong style of wind turbine

No such thing as "a couple" of mice.

I like it!! 😀 you guys have done a real nice job.

very nice tips, thanks for sharing!!!

Nice if you have the space to maneuver.

I've heard Kubota does not recomend them to wit can damage wheel bearings, also may void the warranty????

I has a 52" wind turbine(Missouri wind and solar). So cool to play with. Had it up around 33 ft. high. I didnt really produce much though. Its possible one of my connections came loose. Had to move and sold if before i could verify that. Yes solar beat it hands down. Mount yours much higher so it has a chance is my advice. GOD bless!

SPOILER ALERT! Most wind turbine stories end with the line, "...save yourself the time, money and agrravation by putting up another solar panel or two". Wind turbines that aren't set well above your roof line, with no nearby tree lines to disrupt the flow of wind currents, rarely produce enough output to ever realize a return on investment. In other words, they just don't make sense in most situations.

I've been using straps for a year now and still learned a few interesting things here, especially on what to do with the slack. Definitely gotta try that loop thing. I feel like the hooks on the straps I use aren't good to go on the outside of the rail and back up onto the rail itself. It seems like the hook don't fit properly. I thought maybe it is because I use my straps horizontally (I use them in a cube truck) and also because the small segment of strap at the end (where the hook is) is too rigid for the hook to fit properly. Thanks for the video!

The protecting rail is designed to protect staps. Never hook up the strap to the rail.

Great idea! The cabins in Kentucky on top of the hill should definitely benefit from turbines. Take care Steve👊🏻

If there’s a will there is a way! I’m glad you let your helper down😂😂👍👍

Since you drilled those big holes in the side of the building, i would just install the whole thing outside (maybe in a box) and use one hole to draw air from your cabin into the heater and the the other hole to blow the heated air back into your cabin. That would keep all the fuel, the noisy fuel pump, and the heater itself outside and you'd just have the 2 air holes and the control thing inside your cabin

It can be done. Heck why not.

Wind is about as reliable as a crackhead on payday! I'd invest in either hydro or buy a quality generator. And for those who complain about their generator not starting, stop using ethanol in them.

He’s young ! We’d have jumped when we were kids !…. Oh wait that’s why are knees suck !!! 😂 take care Steve

Build you a hydro turbine dude ! 700 feet isn't all that much. Blue tooth electricity LOL

Can you run a cord up and recharge the blower?

Good stuff! Entertaining too

Great video. I agree the type of splitter one gets should be driven by the type of wood you have access to. I bought a 12 ton electric kinetic splitter. I love the speed, moving it around my yard (in the city) is easy. BUT the ram arm with teeth have already worn down so much that it slips when I engage it. The dealer has shipped me new pieces (on their way) but it's only 7 months old. I will look to adjust the way I pull the handle to engage the ram arm if possible to prevent in future but this is definitely a draw back on the design of this model I got. I will leave the brand out of the comments as they are helping me fix the problem for now.

That's a pellet oven not a grill . Open the lid and see if you can grill anything

Hi Steve, I have an EG4 18kpv hybrid inverter, 31kwh of EG4 LL batteries and 13kw of solar PV panels. The 18kpv can take power input from the pv panels, batteries, my generac generator and grid (when it's up) and seemlessly blend all of them together to supply the house load first and then keep the batteries charged secondarily. I was originally using a two critical load transfer switches to power the majority of the house. But last Friday I had an electrician wire in a (huge) 2 way transfer switch so I am now powering the whole main panel. Unfortunately, I am depleting my batteries over night so I will be looking into another 31kwh rack of batteries (and they're expensive). FYI I have a 2,000 square foot house and an outbuilding with a shop downstairs and home theater upstairs.

Really helpful information and presented very well. Thank you!

That’s pretty cool Steve!👍👍

# 999 X 999🎉

Prepared, is how to be.

Well done Steve. I like how you tied the steak in at the end. Very clever.

Having the off grid option is definitely a good thing. Peace of mind if anything!

we just got a heatmaster c150 last fall and i've been considering a solar setup to power it . we have a inverter and generator for other electrical needs but i would like to feel confident it will run as long as i can feed it wood . thanks for sharing this experience . jeff

Thank you helpful

Very nice...

Hey, great video but the loud background music was very annoying!

This is always a great stage of building. There is plenty to do for everyone without getting in each other's way. You can do wiring while the roof is going on, the decks can be built without bothering the wiring work, etc.... It's always bad when you have manpower and work, but 4 people are waiting on 1 to finish so they can get to work.

The roof looks great!👍👍

Looks great Steve👍🏻👍🏻

I like this guy..I can recognize with you brother! Peace to you and yours .

Can y’all come build my house. I live on a lake in Arkansas

Great vid. But please never let anyone stand or walk under a suspended load. Only takes a blink of an eye for things to go very badly. Cheers from the yukon EH

My friend made it beautifully. What type of wood is used to make houses?
