 How are you guys going to want your eggs? Sure. I want my eggs. I just want one egg. That's it? Yeah. I want it. Probably scrambled. Okay. How's the old stove doing? One egg scrambled. Keeping the coffee pot warm. Really warm. But I'm still amazed. How cool that is. That is awesome. It's really hot. It would warm up. Yeah, that's great. I got some old cast Ones Donnie that have the book to hang somewhere. As long as I didn't get rid of them. That's what you were after, right? Yeah, right. You know, we're looking at one right here. The stove all the time. The other thing too is like it's good. I like the cast on brand names. It's clean and absolutely dry. You can always hang on the inside. Yeah, I like the cast on. Yeah, I bet you don't go through my clothes once we get to some place. I could be wrong though. I don't know. It didn't happen. You'd be warm one way or another. Yeah. Some of that hemlock up there could be mixed in there. Yeah, I would throw a piece in there. Yeah. And burn it up. And he says hemlock burns so much hotter than honey or anything else. Old guy once told me that that honey hocus, it burns like coal. Really, when I used to go when I put it in my first trailer, when I was really young, there was a lot of wood here. So I cut it all up and stack it all up four foot. And the guy stopped and he wanted that pile which is the worst way. He just made money into that hocus. Yeah. And that's the only time we really heard anybody talk about it. Yeah. My grandpa always used to talk about pointy. Oh, yeah. Sort of that. Axe handles and stuff. Right, yeah. Right, yeah. It's kind of the same. Yeah, that's working. It's not specific. Wow. What a difference in temperature. You can use that. You know, on this video, watching the progress and so forth, you know, we said, wielding this camp. Yeah. Well, to me, this is really more than a camp. I know it. You know, I, I picture in my mind a wielding this camp would be more like the one down below. Yeah. You know, that would be a wielding this camp. I know, we might have to change the name list to a luxury camp. Ha, ha, ha, ha. When it came out, looking like the design I had. Oh, yeah. It's proud of us. Good scrambled eggs. Not that bad with it. One thing we do have is we eat pretty good. All right, we are back in the northern most rainforest in the world. North Main Rainforest. We got quite a bit done this morning. Kenny and I finished the porch as you could see. The dry boards are all fresh ones. And we threw this grate in. It's floor grate. I'm pretty excited about that. My dad used to be, Yeah, show my works. My dad used to be a trash man and he saved that from the dump. Geez, probably 30 years ago. My mother used to give him a hard time all the time about all the stuff he brought home and never be used. So mom, if you're watching this, they finally got to use something from the dump. Yeah. But there it is right there. Super rugged. Nice add-on to the camp. And Daughty has been working on something I haven't seen yet. I don't even know if I want to go see this. It's Fort Knox out back here. I'm building an outhouse. And I didn't want to put it on post. So as you can see, if you peek around this corner, this is the foundation to the outhouse. Oh my word. And if the compost and toilet ever quits, we'll just cut a hole in the floor and fill this thing up. Yeah, that'll fill up with debris. Yeah, that'll fill up. Yeah, yeah. So it's going to be a walk out right from that door on the end of the house straight out. And you got it high enough so you can start a fire underneath. Yeah, yeah. You can keep your butt warm. Right. So it's quite something. I'm using up all this junk lumber for sure. What do you think of the porch? I think it looks great. I'm pretty happy about that. Yeah, and then all day long we're going to keep the wood stove cranking to dry out. Yeah, Daughty's been out in the rain so it's going to be nice. How nice is it, Daughty? This is wonderful. Walking into a nice, warm place. We've got lights. Yeah. This is wonderful. You can even whip up a cup of coffee. There's a hot piece. There's a hot still some on the wood stove. Imagine that probably boiled dry, don't you? I hope not. Oh no, there's still some in there. I need to put a hanger right there. We're going to get a lot of use out of this. This is stainless. It doesn't even get warm and it's adjustable. You can slide it in or out as close to as you want to that stove pipe or the stove. And you can slide it up and down. So if you want something just barely cooking you can put it an inch off the stove. If you want it just to stay warm you can lift it up eight inches off the stove. But it's really cool to have something to hang there, that arm. The convention by Ken. And then Ken's going to really stick it to us on the attachments for this thing. Donnie and Ken have been designing some attachments for the side for gloves and for other various... What were you guys talking about? Putting a grate on the side? Yeah. Drying some dishes and some gloves. Wow Ken, that looks awesome. Get rid of all this hemlock. Yeah, that's good. It even snaps and crackles like a fire should. You can't get over how that hemlock puts on the heat. Oh, that's what I burned in my workshop. I've been burning it for years. It rips. You got to be careful. I got one of them Vermont things that tells you the heat coming out. Oh, that's what you mean. It could be 750 degrees in 10 minutes. Wow. It says it's too hot. It's made for creosote, like to let you know... What range does it make creosote in? It was under 300. And I don't know why it says danger over 750. Does it make it over temperature? I don't think so. I think creosote is much better. Not burning hot, burning everything up. Yeah. But yeah, I think it was like 350 or under. They wanted to go hotter. The best range was like 450 to 500. And that was supposed to be 12 inches up off the wood stove on the metal plate. What are you building over here? Believe it or not, this is probably the ruggedest outhouse in the North Main Woods. We're going to put a composting toilet in it. I'm going to have a ramp, a walkway come out of here. So all you have to do is come out the door and go in the toilet. If the composting toilet doesn't work, we'll take it out, we'll cut a hole right here, and we'll fill this whole bottom area. I think things are going to be great. So this thing is a dance floor. It is. It's a rugged piece of... Two by tens. I used whatever we had left over. Two by tens, two by eight. Whatever we had left over from the building. You got room to start a little fire in there? Oh yeah, you could probably sleep in there. So we'll see how it works out. I remember you saying, now I don't want a little outhouse that you can't hardly turn around in. That's right. So you've got one. Nice. You can turn around in. We got enough for the walls? Or are we going to go home and make the walls? No, we're going to... Obviously I've got some two by fours. I think I've got enough two by fours to frame the walls. Sweet. Yeah. Nice. But that's probably going to be on my next trip. Yeah. But we'll get the base in, and it's pretty level. You won't fall off the toilet when you sit on it. Are you putting walls up, or is it just going to be open? What's that? Is it going to be open? Open? Open outhouse, or are you going to do some walls? I never thought of an open outhouse. That might be kind of nice. I like it. Yeah. We put in a big window. We ought to have a window in it. Oh yeah, big window. Picture window on the side. Yeah. Which way are you facing? Which way am I facing? To poop. Oh. That way? We're facing towards this building. Okay. But we got to have a window. Let's put a window that way. We got a half moon window, actually. Yeah, that'd be cool. We saved a window from this building, didn't we? Oh my God. We couldn't use that anywhere. No, the one. Oh no, we used it. Yeah. Oh, we do. You know, we do have a window. We have that half moon. Yeah. Which would be great for an outhouse half moon. Yeah. I got a window at home, too. A small one? Yeah. Yeah, we can put that in here. Yeah. So it's going to be, it's going to be vented. And I figured we'd come up, you know, the vents in the back of the unit come up and then go out through the side back wall. Yeah. Rather than up through the roof. Oh, cool. You know, save, cut the hole in the metal. Yeah. So we're going to get this in before the snow flies and the snow flies anytime now. Which way are you doing the roof? I'm going to pitch it back this way. Yeah. But that unit sticks out 33 inches from the back wall. Wow. So you've got a four inch wall. It's in 33s, what, 37? So that unit is going to stick out right about here in front of the unit. So not much room to dance. No. You've got a little bit on each side, maybe. Wow. So, oh yeah, this is quite something. I've never seen one like it. No, I never have either. No. Probably never will again. No. But take quite a while to fill this up. You know, we have to resolve to that, you know. Leave a hole so the slot can slide out. I mean, once we fill that in, we could just move over on this side. Fill this right bum full. It's a big box. What do you think about a roof, a walkway going from there to there? You're going to do a walkway? Oh, a roofed over. Yeah. That might be cool. Yeah. Yeah, we don't want the walkway to have to shovel that. People are going to come by and say, what the heck is that thing? Yeah. I had 10 receptacles, right? Yeah. Seven switches, 250 feet of wire. Yeah. And whatever for a box. Whatever, yeah. Whatever for a box that we need over here. Right. Right a box with a question mark. You know, I was right there. I can't find that adapter. It goes from outside inside. Joey. I got these pickles. I got these pickles from Joanne. And she lives on Campobello Island. And I went up to visit them when I was up there last week. She and her husband, Gary, who has a nice garden. And he raised a cute car. They watch your channel. They love your channel, along with many other people up there. So she said, oh, take this to Joey. I said, she asked if you like spice. I said, yeah, he likes some spice. And he likes to have a little spice in his life. And so she said, well, I made these pickles. They're a little bit hot. And they call it Lady Ashburn. And I said, Ashburn? Maybe Ashburn would be better after we don't. So we're going to try these pickles tonight. Let's give it to him. Yeah. For dinner or after? Oh, with dinner. I'm looking forward to it. I haven't ever had anything from Campobello that wasn't great. Oh, I know. You know, Bertha Square. So she's got a lot to live up to. Yeah. Yeah. And I know it's pretty happy to eat that apple dapple that your daughter made. Yeah. That apple dapple cake is good that Darcy made too. Yeah. There's a lot of good cooks out there. So we'll give it a try. Get this con. Today was the first morning of Joe Holland's breakfast. That was pretty, pretty happy to eat. That was pretty good, huh? Yeah. You drove that right in the interview. Well, Ken, tell us a little bit about this wood stove. Yeah. It's nice and warm right now. Tell you about it. I guess we ordered some sheets of quarter inch steel, some angle bar, some flat bar, and cut it all up, welded it together. Got some really good ideas for my brother-in-law. He built one pretty much like it back in 1985, and they're still heating their home with it today. Did you see a welder? Yeah. He took the welding in school. Yeah. Yeah, he's actually a lobster man. That's who gave us the crab meat and crab sandwiches. What's his name? We got to thank him. Bill Kirby. Well done. Thank you, Bill. Bill, thank you so much. That crab meat was amazing. It was awesome. Yeah, it sure was. He's actually come to find out him and my sister, both big fans of the channel, too. Oh, no way. That's awesome. So how many hours do you think you got into that stove? You shocked me when you sent me that message and said it's done. You were about two weeks early. Yeah, well, I don't know. I never really kept track. I did get the GoPro from you. I should have took some video of it, because some people that don't do it would be interested in how it's built. Sure. But without a press break, you just take the two pieces, corner to corner, fill it in with weld. That way you get as much welding as you can. Just make sure everything's square and rugged so it doesn't warp over time. Yeah, I like how you got those angle rubs welded together. Yeah, like I said, that was right straight out from my brother-in-law's stove, because if that lasted since 1985, this one should last for many years. Oh, yeah. You can get some good use out of this in the winter. It's the prettiest stove I've ever seen. I love that front tray to catch stuff falling out. You never make those big enough. No, usually not. And they don't put like a big rail on it like that either. But usually it's just flat. Yeah, so I love that. So when stuff falls out, it catches it. Yep. You can put stuff there. The piece that's going to pop at you when you get the door open or something. Yeah. And of course, Donnie's dream on there is amazing. And then this rod is awesome. It's as hot as it is. You can grab right a hold of that. It's still cold. And that's a fully adjustable up-down, inner-out. And then we're going to have a couple other attachments on this side, I think. Yeah, the dish rack type style. Yeah, which will be pretty awesome. Do you use a stick welder or do you use a big welder? When I built this, I used a big welder. Okay, yep. It's money quicker. Do you get it? Or does it quicker? It does, yep. Ah. Does it, does it, I mean, the beads on it are just perfect. The roads. Yeah. I mean, is it easier to use a Miko? It is easier, yep. Yep, yep. Yeah, because with the Miko, you keep the same distance from your piece. You do it with a stick, right? You have to keep pushing in. Right. It's a little bit harder, but if you know how to do one, it's easy to do the other stuff. Yeah, those welds are absolutely perfect. Yeah, they're gorgeous. A lot of people are going to enjoy this. And the cool part about it to me is it's the centerpiece of the camp now, and even when it's done, it's going to be the centerpiece of the camp. Everybody walks through that door. It's going to be one of the first things they see. We might have a moose that or a big buck over there up there that they'll see that too, but it's always going to come back to the wood stove. It's definitely doing its work right now and trying this out so you can get the insulation out. Yep. Do you still have the viewers how much insulation you've got to put out? Yeah, we've got a whole room full of insulation behind there. We've got to hang. And we're just dry making sure that the lumber that we use for the camp is bone dry before we put up the insulation and block it. Otherwise, you'd have some mildew or mold problems. I don't think you'd get to rock, but you'd have mildew or mold if you blocked in a lot of moisture like that. Yeah, you've got a mound of, you know, kind of sown. Every wood is sown. Oh yeah, every wood's got sown. You get 10, 14% is considered dry. So we want to get this down to 10% or so. And I got a meter behind me that I can check it with. And we've already dried it considerably. This is just the first day, the day and a half that we've run the wood stove. And it's definitely dried considerably. You could just tell by looking at it, smelling it and feeling the air in here. It rained six or seven times today outside, but in here it's been bone dry and nice and warm. Well, it was raining when Donnie went outside to work. Every time Donnie went out to work? Well, I got some fresh corn, and I picked up a kind of a marinated pork tenderloin, which I just, I usually cook it in an oven, but I got my little camp stove oven, but I didn't bother tonight, but I sliced it up and put it on the stove and pork gravy with it and mashed potato. And we got two hands pickles to try. Sweet. We'd like to try them. They're hot, I don't know what to call it. Yeah, they're lady, lady. Ashburn. Ashburn. That pork tenderloin you can cut with a fork. Yes. That looks terrible. Pretty amazing. Oh, that looks terrible. Donnie, it looks like you've all done yourself again and they're calling Ari Arts. No, I don't know. You haven't tasted it yet. No, that's true. Do you want to try these pickles? I definitely do. Those sound right at my elbow. You like that? Oh, they look like it. She says they're not that hot. Really? Great. Thank you. Oh, wow. Good? They're all that sound good. They're edible, Ken? Oh, yeah. She's a good cook. She can make some pickles. That's for sure. Wow. Joe in? Joe in. Yeah. I'm going to take this off just so it doesn't burn out, Ken. My grandson happened to be in the house when I was there. And we got talking deer hunting. He's a deer hunter. He's probably, I think 14. Oh, well. He watches your channel. Wow, the pickles are good. The pickles are good. Holy cow. And he says I watch your channel. We must have recognized you from it. Oh, yeah, I did. We got talking deer hunting. I said, at 12 years old, I shot a buck that was 200 pounds. Wow. I said, I'm 81 years old and I haven't yet to shoot a buck that's 200 pounds. Wow. What's your personal best on it? 186. Get close, huh? Yeah. I don't like the one that shot last year. I'm going to go on his property last year. 6 points. 187 pounds. He won. Lucky to be 120. He wasn't even 100. He's got a spot. I couldn't believe it was the smallest 6 point I've ever seen. No kidding. He said it ran right up to him. He looked at it and said, now that's too small. But I go and then it turned around and ran right back at him again. He said, well, if you're that dumb, I'll shoot you. So he shot it. Picked it up, put it in his back pocket, walked out. They had pickles there. They're not too spicy. They're not at all. They're perfect.
