 Good morning It's time to go home We got here to our yard and Manitoba so late last night. It was too late to go home I didn't want to wake up the whole house. What about in home at about 2 30 probably maybe three Then I have to shower and go to bed. So it was too late to go home So let's go home now. The sun's up. It's morning time. It's a Saturday Let's go get this truck to my shop Getting the pickup And go get some stuff done at home. I think I got to hang some Christmas lights I think that's on my honey-do list this weekend We also got some new furniture. I'm excited about that. It's my wabasto bunk heater. It needs a service I'm just trying to get it going right now. I've been having problems with it this week It's been working fine up until now, but Doesn't always want to fire up get that white smoke. Well, they're not fired up You hear that so I've been able to get it going every night But it's been taken a little bit of convincing and there's a little bit of smoke involved So I wanted to Try to get it going in the shop here and I can air it out. I should open that door actually I'll do that right away. I Wonder see if I can get in here when it's quiet. That's why I had the door down I wanted to be able to hear what was going on. Is it miss firing? Is it even firing up? Here going up. I Don't feel to keep going Definitely needs a service or needs to be replaced. So That'll be included in my next service the trucking. Yes. Oh See yeah, shut down didn't fire up Fires up for a bit and then shuts down And it does that a few times and usually gets going But last night middle of the night suddenly just stopped all together So the wabasto bunk heater what it does is it takes diesel fuel like a drip from my fuel tanks Into a little bunk heater. That's like a an indoor. It's called a wabasto heater. It's underneath my sleeper See it's trying again I don't even see if it blows warm air into my cab and obviously blows the exhaust out here It saves me a lot of fuel and a lot of engine maintenance But it needs to be serviced about once a year and I didn't service it this year yet And winter is here. I thought I could get through one more winter. Nope So you can hear it running now, right? Sounds pretty good. See the exhaust goes down underneath the cab. It's a little bit that exhaust smoke coming out There shouldn't be any smoke It's coming out from there Yeah, they definitely shouldn't be any smoke. So it's Hopefully just needs a good cleaning might need to be replaced That will need to do before winter because that saves me a lot of a lot of money to fuel because I I shut this Truck off at night right down to minus 25 celsus So that thing keeps me warm in the cab through the night and I have another one that's in that white box There's another one in there that one keeps the coolant warm Inside my engine so that in the morning I have that on a timer two hours before I wake up that thing starts Warms up my engine so that at minus 25 without plugging it in I can still turn it over and start it in the morning All right, so I'm warm the truck is warm It will take care of but I'm not supposed to be doing that The exhaust goes oh see it turned off again Turned off again. The exhaust goes straight down there Well, shoot Shoot You should have serviced your heater trucker job Supposed to do that every year trucker job Yeah, well Things are expensive and sometimes I try to get two years out of it. Okay Sometimes three All right, we got the door open so that we can prevent this place out But now I've got it running you see takes a little bit of coaxing It took a few attempts And look at this frame, eh? One of my uh, I'm actually getting this all inspected In a couple of weeks. I'm getting my whole frame inspected back here Uh We need to get a sandblast and paint it got to get the whole frame done I just want to know When is it like a now problem? Is it like a next year problem? Or is it like a You know, you could probably wait a year or two problem But either way, this frame is gonna have to be done soon. It's got to be taken all hard Everything's got to be taken off sandblasted paint it And I can also put an extra 24 inches on it if I want and I'll still be within legal limits So I might do that Well, it seems to be working now see Now the heat is working. So the exhaust comes out here. It's not smoking anymore Then uh Shoot you probably can't see in here It comes out down there The light on in here There's a little vent down there. Oh, you can't really see it. It's blowing hot air in here Then it keeps the whole cab warm. It's been running steady here for several minutes This is how it's been all week Got to play around with it play around with it play around with it and all oh there it goes And then it lasts through the night until this last night. I woke up. I was cold I was like, why am I cold? I'm bunk eaters on turn to bunk heater up. Nothing happens But I got a cone again now so We all know It needs a service Or maybe needs to be replaced. Maybe it's just old and it was with the truck when I bought it And uh, I haven't had it looked at since I've gotten my engine heater replaced because that's important, right? I've gotten the the the same kind of one that heats up my engine Got that one replaced recently Uh, it's so that my engine can start in the wintertime because that's kind of important You don't want your engine not to be able to start But this one just started giving me problems now I'm reaching back here feeling with my hand. It's still blowing hot air It's not sputtering It's running nicely Okay, so The truck's not going to the shop This week. I was hoping I could get another two weeks out of this thing yet We'll see uh next time I go in for a service Probably closer to Christmas or New Year's maybe between Christmas and New Year's We'll see what the shop is uh as available. Maybe first thing in the new year I'm gonna get the truck serviced and also get this thing serviced and looked at What else do I need to get done? Oh, yeah, and look I'll say in the frame I'm getting the frame inspected and I want their professional opinion on uh when I should be Uh redoing my frame It's always something it's always something having a truck is very expensive It's very risky, but it's very fun. I wouldn't trade it So what they do is they take everything off the frame as much as they can anyways Maybe not everything, but they take a lot of the stuff like this in different frames And all of this appears well They sandblast it all get everything off but get it all to a nice smooth clean finish again What they can do is they can add a 24 inch piece in here if they want Stretch out the frame a little bit Or Leave it as is either way strip everything off of this thing the whole thing front to back In they repaint the frame and then when they're done with it, it looks like a brand new frame I think this whole area up here. I know it's all dirty now, but uh everything inside and out it would all be Like brand new when they're done with it When I bought the truck it had a little bit of a dent Right there is obviously hit with a fifth wheel pin This one's dental a little bit too. That's an old truck, right but uh That I would get them probably replaced. I'll be the whole plate or at least bend it straight It's gonna look brand new So I got some projects today We've ordered a new change table because he's outgrown this change table now already Have I showed you his nursery yet? We haven't set up his name or anything or any of his decorations. We just got the basics up Still a lot to do to settle in But that's project number one. Let's put together that uh change table. It'll go right in here Let me give you a better angle better lighting So yeah, that's going to be the change table that goes right there because he's so long already that his head Goes right up against here and then he can kick this and he keeps kicking this pretty hard We don't want him to hurt himself as he's kicking up, right? That's just a little bit small. He's a little bit big So that's the first project the next project is in our Bedroom here. I guess I should have cleaned this up first anyhow, whatever this is real life Real life real log. We have this sheet over the blanket so that uh when the dogs come up here that it's easy to clean We got a new dresser which will replace that dresser there And there's two boxes there two nights dance that'll replace these mismatched ones that one there And that one there and we'll have matching ones and the dresser obviously Matches that as well So this is our master bedroom and then from here we got a sliding door that goes right into the bathroom This is brit's bathroom mines downstairs. Let's just go back up into the hallway and so the master bedroom is here Theo's bedroom is there and this is the We're clearing this out our goal is to get rid of every single one of these boxes yet. This will be Our next kids bedroom get that ready yet So when we moved in we got a new dining room set as well It has two leafs that go in here and it extends out. We've got some extra chairs You can fit eight people around it when it's fully extended and on black friday Got a new tv Only like 400 bucks I didn't even have to fight her for it No, and that's going to are we putting that in the living room here? I'm decided Because if we put it here We would have to put it on a mount up there so that it stays in the corner So we want the tv in the corner so that it sort of fills up the living room But then we have to buy a swivel mount. Yeah, but we do have a mount where we could mount it right up on the wall over there But then it's awkward watching tv if you're sitting on that couch We've got to put together that change table and then get those dressers set up mount the tv and Set up the outside Christmas lights as much as I can get done this weekend At least the front at least the front. Yeah, because We are the house of shame on our block right now. Everybody else's houses are all lit up all the way down the street Hey, we have our big snowman out front. Yeah, we got something. We have a wreath on the front door It's not complete shame But still we cannot be outdone by our neighbors We have to create a good first impression at least a first impression We can't let that first impression be like oh these guys don't decorate for Christmas They will be they'll see next year. They'll see and then after all of that and sometime today I've heard rumors that a A certain jolly feller is in town in a big red suit And somebody gets to go and meet santa for the first time today So excited I've been waiting my whole life to bring my baby to see santa We finally arrived So when you go through the kitchen here, there was the hallway that we were in before you go into the breezeway We got something for in here too That's where we take the dogs out hang up all our clothes and stuff and We got this it was just delivered on Friday All of our furniture is from defraying furniture This is not an ad for them or anything. They I think it's the same company as ashley furniture We just happen to get all of our furniture everything was from there The even couches downstairs all the coffee tables Everything in the bedrooms that I just showed you this here It's a nice little bench so you can sit down and tie your shoes It's also storage and I like to stick to the same place I mean you probably noticed that same thing with my truck the shop and Everything else I like to stick to the same place I find a place that I like and I stick to it like glue Though it would probably be good to you know do some shopping around some times to see if there are better things out there, but We found everything that we wanted at defraying and It's been really good and they have a location in steinback. So that's That helps a lot too. We don't have to go all the way to winnipeg Chevy got more hanging there more hooks hanging there Nice big pantry in here Got a Chevy right there. That's a dinner for champions right there uh Back in the truck. This is where I get a lot of my editing done I found that I don't really get a lot of work done when I'm at home because I got better things to do when I'm at home than work I try to get all my work done during the week when I'm at on the road or in the truck I try to then I don't have much to do when I get home on the weekends because Uh, to be honest I just don't want to work on the weekends Or when I'm home. I'm not always home on the weekend Sometimes I'm home like during the week too middle of the week But when I'm at home on the weekend when I'm at home I just want to be at home Be there with my family Hold my son my wife Watch some movies Relax maybe do nothing. I mean that hasn't happened yet But we're still hoping that one of these days soon. I can just do nothing for like I don't know a couple hours Maybe even a whole day one. Oh, I'm asking for too much there. I know So I'm gonna wrap this up for you here. I put this all together It was kind of a mini tour of the house I was sort of gonna walk through the whole house with you there But I'll give you a little bit here and a little bit there and once we have everything up on the walls and It like fully settled in it takes a long time any of you who have moved before I'm sure you can relate It takes a long time to settle in completely. So We'll do the official house tour once it's ready to be showcased. I guess But for now, I mean you pretty much you've seen the basement now You've seen the upstairs and the bedrooms. You've seen the whole house pretty much I mean, there's a couple of rooms that we haven't shown you yet like the freezer room And I don't think I've showed you the laundry room So those of you who were just really desperately hoping to see the laundry room one of these days Well, you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer I don't know if you guys want to see this stuff or not, but Ah Even for my records here on my channel, I want to have one video or we sort of just walked through the whole place So I can look back on it one day when you know 20 30 years down the road and be like, yeah You remember when we first moved in this is how we first had the house set up when we settled in And you get it Because these vlogs aren't just for you to watch. They're also for memories for us to go back on in the future Like decades in the future to look back on it, right? Thanks for watching today though. Uh, we went to go see santa that evening. Uh, that went really well It was Theo's first visit with the big guy so Hopefully he told him everything that he wanted. I mean santa didn't even ask him I thought about it later. I was like, well, I didn't even ask him what he wanted, but I mean He is only eight months old, so I'm sure it was like telepathic. It was like santa knows he knows All right, so I'll see you guys tomorrow Remember when you're out there on the highways to drive safe, keep your head up Pay attention to what you're doing on the road. Keep your eyes on the road. Keep your stick on the ice Which means in canadian that means pay attention Be ready for anything I'll see you in tomorrow's video. Don't forget to subscribe Thank you
