 Good morning, everyone we're back in Canora, Ontario. I have to drop off the rest of that load that we picked up in Quebec That gets off my trailer today, and then I have a reload just down the street That's taking me into Minnesota doing one more loop before going home and bring an old blue in for a bit of service and a little bit of extra work In that time while all blues in the shop I'm gonna try to get the exterior of our home painted It's not a very big house, so hopefully hopefully we can get her done For now, we'll just focus on this. We have 12 pieces 12 crates to deliver here. Let's get these off the trailer Get the new freight on their carpet. We'll go from there behind me now And we're gonna go just down the road says about less than 10 miles There's another load waiting for me of engineered lumber. I'm gonna throw it onto my trailer So that that through under what engineered lumber is. I didn't know that either until I started hauling it It's fancy lumber. It's lumber. That's you know, maybe finishing carpentry or indoor carpentry It's the kind of lumber you can't get wet and you can't get dirty. So we have to tarp it It's fancy lumber very special very very special It's going on a very special trailer being pulled by a very special trucker and is waiting for me there So let's go pick it up. Let's tarp it. Let's take it down to Minnesota I don't have a reload coming back out of Minnesota yet. I might be coming back empty I don't know it's the end of the month right now when I'm filming this So I'm trying to get one more load in before the end of the month. I was telling you before old blue's got to go into the shop I've got I gotta get them to look at a few things. I'll have to show you Obviously the full service, right? And then my rear diff is sweating And it's worrying me a little bit. It shouldn't it shouldn't be sweating at all So I need them to check that level and figure out why there's moisture on the diff Not a lot not a lot at all. It's just Anything is a little I guess anything is too much But it's not like I'm overly concerned about it to the point where like it's got to shut the truck down It's just it's to the point where I got to get them to look at it when it's in the shop next Got to get them to look at my slack adjuster on my passenger side steer Make sure that that's all up to snuff and Just do an overall Inspection of the entire truck for me while I'm Well, I'm at home for a few days over the long weekend painting our house Always something to do. It's always something to do and I'm also going to get a quote on my frame extension We've got to get it measured out make sure everything stays within limits and regulations, but I'm allowed to have up to 7.2 meter wheelbase on my truck in Canada right now which equals about 280 inches but the catch is that The entire unit from the front of my bumper to the rear bumper of my trailer can't be longer than 75.4 inches or something like that feet sorry inches Feet 74 or like 75 feet. I have to keep it at 75 feet or less So right now my whole unit with my fifth wheel slid all the way back to the end of my frame We're sitting at about 73 Feet just under 73 feet So I can add another two feet on there plus then I'll be able to slide by fifth wheel forward because it won't be so close to my Headache rack gain another foot there. I could technically add three feet I don't know if I want to add three feet, but I have that available to me be able to play with So I want to get that priced out. Also. I want to get a lowering kit priced out for the front of the truck This is just getting numbers so that I have a baseline to start at We got to buy a house first Hopefully we're getting close to that It doesn't seem like we're getting any closer the housing market in Canada is not very friendly right now Thanks to people in power. They have made the conditions for interest rates To just go through this through the roof and they say yeah, it's like that everywhere. Yeah, well, it didn't have to be But here we are Hopefully we can change that in the future But for now it's very hard to get a house in Canada It used to be super easy like not that long ago super easy, but now it's very difficult and we're struggling To be able to get that accomplished, but we'll get there We'll do it on our own and we'll figure it out, but it's gonna take a little while So that that's priority number one But I sort of I sort of want to get some numbers for the next for the next goals, right? Once we get the house we get moved in I want to know about how much I'm gonna need to Start getting this truck restored and refurbished and You know cleaned up a little bit summer activity because it's an indoor pool quite a few people Enjoy their summers with our rental And that went very well through the summer Still going very well who's returned to us yesterday. I think I told you that already, right? So it's parked back in the shop waiting for the next rental next year. I think we want to Get out a little bit more enjoy the summer so that'll work. We still got goals Need a bigger house, and that's our number one priority right now Once we have the bigger house the house that we're gonna stay in the rest of our lives We don't want to move again once we get that I Mean that it'll be on to the next thing obviously, but that is Primary number one after that we can sort of have a little bit more fun and have a little more financial flexibility Hopefully if we do it right and if these interest rates and housing prices come down a little bit that'd be nice Become so expensive to live in even food and everything. It's just I'm not trying to complain either. I know all of you living here totally understand what I'm talking about It's been crazy the last eight years. We can all agree everything has gotten out of control We desperately need some kind of change something needs to change because whatever we've been doing Has not been working hasn't made things better. You know, you want to make it better in the future. That's that's the whole point of Living right to make things better for the next generation Well, it's gotten worse for my generation. We're on track to make things even worse for my son's generation That's not the way it's supposed to be things are supposed to get better for him Not harder whole topic for another whole video all on its own, right? We're still here in Ontario You cross the Trude International Falls and about an hour or two. I think I'll make it all the way down to Rainer tonight. I have plenty of time on my clock to get there. We'll see what What delays we see time so it's been go go go Ever since we were on that long trip, right? I just went home for a reset and then I took off on this next one It's just the next morning. I got down to brainered. I was so tired. I just needed a really good night's sleep and that's what I got so I'm rested. I'm ready to deliver this freight that we picked up in Kenori yesterday And I don't have any plans from here. I might just be heading home from here I was telling you yesterday a little bit old blues got a date with the shop got a few things they got to look at and Don't want to be late for that and I've got a few things to get done at home, too Things start piling up, especially when you go away for a longer period than usual Those things that you're like, oh do it next weekend. Well, suddenly you're not home next weekend You're gone for like two weeks and all that stuff that you can do that Well, I guess we're gonna do it all the next weekend, but that weekend had its own stuff So now we got this week and stuff in that weekend stuff And it's just piling on top of each other plus you got new stuff because there's always new stuff always There's always new stuff that comes in so there's always stuff that piles on top of the stuff The piles on top of the stuff and then some of the stuff because piles under the stuff You got to grab those things Yeah, sometimes you got to bring them to the top of the pile get them done first But you didn't think of them because you forgot them now they're down here and forgotten you can't forget them It's not you have to put them up here and get them done before you get all this stuff done But all this stuff still needs to get done So that's how I'm feeling right now lots to get done, but that's life. I mean You know you have the same thing when you go home even if you're home every night So I'm just keep on it So I'm gonna try to get as much done as I can. It's a long weekend coming up for us This coming this coming weekend is Labor Day weekend for us. So I'm gonna be home for the whole weekend I want to get the exterior of our house painted We're not sure if we're gonna be you know moving in the next year or the next or the next We don't know exactly when the market is going to calm down a little bit but We want to be ready. I got to paint the outside of the house. It's got some paint peeling and sections It doesn't look good. We're gonna fix it paint that up And that's my main goal And other Nass sometime soon. We also have to finish those countertops and I have no idea what I'm doing with countertop No idea And we'll kind of overwhelmed with that project But my dad and my uncle like you're gonna come and help me My uncle like used to do this for a living all the time like he knows exactly how everything gets done and how to do it properly You guys have met him in vlogs in past years as well, too He's gonna come down and take a look at it and I would still like to do it Or at least have like a big hand in it because I don't want to just get someone else to do it for me I need to learn how to do these things I want to know how to do this, too But I need someone who knows what they're doing show me and make sure that I don't screw it up because I want to look nice, too I don't want just to get done. I want to look nice Even if we don't sell the house and we keep it as a rental it's got to look nice So we got to get those countertops done. We're extending the countertops past our stove a little bit yet We're taking out that like pantry that can come out putting in new cabinets there putting another Countertop there. We bought another dishwasher recently. It's just for baby stuff Britt has eczema on her hands and town water Makes her hands bleed. It's really really hard on her So when she has to do all these dishes every day for the baby It physically hurts her hands and they they crack they bleed and it's very painful for her That's why we got the dishwasher right to ease all of the dishes that need to be done So you don't have to do them all in the sink But a baby also comes with a lot of dishes and they have to have special dish washing Detergent and you can't mix them in with all the other ones and you got to make sure that they're washed properly and sterilized Or sanitized sterilized sanitized sterilized. That's the right word, right? You know which one I mean one of those two pick one and So we ordered the special countertop dishwasher that's specifically going to be used for baby dishes I know we're going a little bit bougie here Yes, a little bit bougie. We went a little bit above and beyond But we need some counter space for that so I need to make a new counter Also to you we're actually picking out. I got I got to pick it up this weekend That'll be something something cool to show you and Yeah This was the blog for today.
