Wood Shed Build | Start to Finish

YouTube

Fetching some more firewood from the distant barn.

Heard from the old village, due to the extreme cold, many are running low on wood pellets or do not have enough to last for the remaining winter. Shops and sawmills are out of stock, nothing more to buy. Scalpers are offering bags for twice the usual price on Skelbiu. Sucks if your heating can only run on highly processed firewood.

No problem starting the tractor today. The new engine oil may have helped, but mostly it was because it didn't dip below -10°C last night.

Bit of a struggle turning around in front of the barn to back the trailer inside, as you can see from the messed up snow.

Found on the garage floor. Service plate for a MTZ-50L tractor. No wonder they're all so poorly maintained if the service schedule just falls off :)

The 50L apparently was the version with a petrol pony motor. Good for starting in winter! And for getting deaf.

Today was a long but rewarding day. We finished fencing in the coop area and finally got our chickens and rooster in. I went out to check out them all this evening and was so happy to see we got out first egg! I’m still excited about it lol.
We also took the girls to the vet and they’re both in good health. Vaccines are done for now until their boosters. But I won’t tell them that 🙃

Towing hoop attached, since I had the welder and extension cord out.

Patched the sauna boiler. It had a big crack where smoke escaped because one of the rocks was wedged between the flue pipe and the hotspot at the top where the steel softens from heat. The steel is still good at least.

Not sure if that will hold, so I added a plate over the patch as well.

As usual, very bad access and couldn't get any shape of grinder in there, so I just wire-brushed it by hand a bit and that had to suffice.

The patch couldn't be too thick either as I had to hammer it into shape there.

Rocks back on, more carefully this time.

Clamping a tight welding helmet to your head when you already have a murderous headache was not making this any easier. 🤮

My loquat is loquatting. 🥰
I need a tall person in my life that is also an arborist. 😅 #foodforest #homestead #foodsecurity
