 Live again. I'm here in Jefferson, Maine at Donnie's sawmill Got a beast of a hemlock on the mill right now. Let me turn this camera around for you There it is right there. It's not really even locked on the mill yet, but it's Over 14 foot that one's like 14 foot 8 inches and I'll give you a rough count on the years of it well Let's just do some math on it. Most of those years are pretty pretty much the same so One inch Has got about 18 years an inch and from the center We're looking at about seven inches so seven times 18 is What is that? 116 that sound right? I don't know you guys you guys do the math. I'm not even thinking right now So welcome to everybody viewing I'm gonna try to a turn I'm gonna attempt to mill this giant hemlock by myself I'm gonna have a little bit of trouble rolling it. I'm not gonna lie. It's a beast I gotta get it locked in right now and and fire up the mill. Hopefully I get enough gas in that mill Maybe I'll throw a little gas in the mill to probably should have done that before I went live but it'll give some people a chance to tune in but this is the That's the hemlock log. I'm gonna try to mill into some roof rafters We need two by eights out of that should be able to get a pile should be able to get six or more out of that Josh, thanks for checking in on the series James Gray Welcome, buddy. I'm starting to see some of the comments here. I'm gonna turn this and see how your angle is All right, so that's about the angle. I'm gonna be milling from and I'm gonna get this log situated right now With my PV that's where she's gonna have to be This keeps the log from rolling right here once I start milling it Kind of pins it against those uprights over there. We got a decent sweep in this log. I Can't do much about it. I'm like an inch up off the stanchions over here and Know an inch off over here, too So I'm gonna have to cut that sweep out of it not a big deal It is what it is. You can't really change change the log when it comes to that Yep, we're gonna go with it As far as the size on this one, it's 14 foot 8 inches long Wideest spot is looking like 15 and a half inches across that way and 15 that way And years wise we figured, you know, it's got some really tight growth rings there But going from the path to the center You're looking at I think we figured like in a quick count like an average of about 18 Years per inch on this which sounds like a lot, but let me count again Yeah, I just got 16 per inch on that one LinkedIn main Wild with nice lobster nice pulling them poverty traps poverty boxes I see so I just counted 16 years in that inch the other count was 18. So let's just call it 16 and On average, we're gonna be about 7 inches from the center. So 7 times 16 would be 112 years old this log is so roughly 110 call it to 120 but that that last count was 112 years old. So it's about as old as Donnie is Just kidding. Donnie's actually 81 But yeah, I'm gonna mill this log and you know, so I got an inch up off the ground already off the stanchions and to the top I'm looking at I'm at 15. So I'm really 16 inches up So I'll measure what it is to the lowest part of the center and I'm gonna make my first cut to try to You know just nip that center maybe maybe come into it a half inch. So I have at least four inches And I can make a two by four out of that first cut But the goal for this log is to get two by eights out of it for roof rafters some nice trait Honest really clean two by eights is what we're looking for and they're gonna be the roof rafters on our wilderness camp that we're gonna be building In a couple weeks, so gonna be heavy lumber Hemlock they call it hemrock sometimes after it dries because it's so hard, but I'm gonna take I'm gonna take a slab cut a waist cut You know throw that into the slab pile then I'll probably come down and take a two inch cut to To narrow down and get like a two by four out of it after and then I'm gonna roll this log and start to corner and get it down How many logs you guys been saw today? Well, it really depends on the day. That's a heck of a great question The other day when we were milling tops and they were just eight foot long and you know only nine inch diameter I bet you we milled like 20 logs We're not putting in crazy long days because I still I'm working at the ice cream shop and and Just got a handful of stuff to do and Donnie usually gets worn out by lunch We start sometime any anywhere around 7 a.m. You know his day starts probably at 5 a.m I've been pulling some real late night or so haven't been running on a lot of sleep So eight eight in the morning and I hate to even admit it's kind of early right now But when you're going to sleep around three or four in the morning, I guess eight comes pretty quick So I haven't been really cranking on the on the hard days yet But I'm able to mill with Donnie till around noon and I've been coming back over and mill until dark So logs this size we've already done three today, and then I just did a little bit smaller one here You can see behind me. There's a six by six laying on the ground Which we're going to use as like our foundation logs for the perimeter of this of this wilderness camp It'll be up off concrete and then six by six is coming off of them So this one we figured it's roughly 112 years old and we're gonna I'm gonna mill it down if everything runs right. I'm gonna you guys bear with me for a minute I'm gonna throw a sip of gasoline into this thing. I'm not sure how much is left in there if I have some gas We we didn't mill this weekend Greg came out milled some pine this weekend So usually we don't have much gas after that. I'll check Oh, yeah, we got a sip right there We got a sip now. There's enough to get through this log. I hope old metal gas can that took about a gallon Alright guys, I'm gonna fire up that mill. So I'll get you here and protection on there's no There's no Mufflers on the thing. She's pretty loud. That's why you see mine on But if you guys have any questions from on there, and I'll try to get to them later There's Nick. What's up, buddy? All the way in Minnesota nice wood. That is the beauty. That's hemlock I'm not sure if you guys have that out there or not out in Minnesota, but it's an awesome wood to build with here In Maine. It's really strong and rugged and so it's a hard soft wood. This one's roughly 112 years old Cut it off Donnie's mill this winter Jamie cut it down and dragged it out with a skitter in the snow So that's what's going on guys. If you're tuning in, I'm gonna fire up that mill and what I'll do is every time I roll The log I'll shut it off for you. Normally I just leave the mill going but it's gonna take me It's gonna be a challenge for me to be able to roll this log to be honest with you With the PV or camp dog, whatever you want to call it But we'll get it down to a camp and get it down to like an eight inch block and then I'll run some two by eights off it So here we go. You got to remember what my first cut is gonna be Take measure All right, so this was it's already an inch up off and we're at 15 so we're at 16 I'll probably make my first cut the low spot on this log is in the middle because it's got a sweep to it So yeah, we're looking at like a Cut at like 13. We're gonna have pretty pretty big slab a little bit of waste But when the log isn't perfectly straight, you're gonna get some waste and then we throw it in the pile and use it to cook down The evaporator and cook down a maple sap into syrup Normally, I just keep the mill rolling But I figure I'll stop and kind of explain to you guys what I'm doing and and what's going on here So I just made my first cut. This is just slab wood here. It's thick here, but in the middle It's less than a half inch. That's because this this log had a bow in it. Normally. I wouldn't take that much off But if you go to about right here, there's probably only one inch then after that It's just a half inch. So you're gonna have some waste when you do stuff like this heavy heavy piece of slab wood here No, we count Yep But that's why I took off a decent amount So normally I would roll this log right now I Think I can do it alone If I can't do it, I'll take off two more inches and Roll it and try to roll it after that but to make it easier on myself. I'm gonna raise these These safety stanchions as high as they'll possibly go These are just like metal poles That you can raise or lower But I'm gonna raise them as high as I can To roll this and that way they're high so they won't get hung up And you guys remind me to lower them before I run the saw blade or I'll run the blade right into them All right, so now those are as high as they can go I'm gonna try her old vlog. It's it ain't gonna be easy. I'll show you that first cut That's what she looks like right now There you go, and Let's see if I got enough beef on me to roll that thing. Let's see What do you guys think? Now the goal is to get this flat this flat side right here up against that Those uprights so I could start to make a 90 degree with the next cut Let's use the long boy All right, here we go. Oh, yeah Lever I love it, man I'm gonna lock it in If I can all right, she's locked in She's got a good 90 degree angle, and I'm gonna come back and check my comment and see if anybody reminds me to To lower these so I don't hit them now with the blade. I'm gonna drop those to oh So they're only about eight inches up This will keep the log from falling off the mill that way sound like that first one fell. Yep. It did That happens we're locked back in we're good to go So I'm all ready for the second cut once again. You could see this log does have a bow to it So if you guys are just in it's the 112 year old hemlock, but it's got a little bit of sweep in the middle here and I got to cut that out. I might want to See if I could raise that side one inch If I can get that side up an inch and something jacked under it Then it'll save a little bit more wood make for a better cut. So I'll give it a try Yeah, if I can get an inch right there. I mean, it's not entirely necessary, but It does save on On the wood. I'll be able to get it out Question is I Need Question is how you do it alone. So that just takes out a little bit of a sweep on that log and We get to make another cut This cut's probably gonna be I'll measure it kind of at its lowest point top of the log 16 to that square point I'm at 13 and a half so I Don't mind taking a decent slab so I can handle this log alone So I'll take a decent decent cut off this one again, too. What's up, Tony? Good to see you, buddy All right, I'm gonna plug you guys in Hopefully this is coming out pretty good for you guys. I don't know How much service we have out here? But there she is right there. I'm gonna take a cut off Probably like in this range right here I mean ideally I'd like to be At about that 14 inch mark and have maybe like this much slab wood to throw away and put in the scrap pile But here we go off my mill. I don't think we need any That pile is bigger than the tractor I forgot battling sawmills going there. Yeah, you're doing a post and beam aren't you? Post and beam barn. Yeah, looks beautiful. Yeah Well it's coming. Yeah, it's just a beginner level type stuff Oh, really? You know, well, you know, I've got a little mill that's I'm not fancy like you Automated It's good to push mine. It's good when it works. Yeah, we've been we've been known to push this one before too Yeah, but anyway, no, it's all good. Yeah, what are you doing like a barn or a garage? It's gonna be a barn shed roof on one side all part of the barn. Oh, nice It's gonna be woodshot. Yeah my dream beautiful It's good good for you. It's coming, but it's gonna be a little while yet before I get the roof on Yeah, but anyway doing hemlock beams or if you can believe it on you on the lot on my mother's lot Yeah way out. No kids. I didn't even know we had spruce over there. Yeah little pockets of spruce. Good for you I got enough Just enough To do just the beam. Yeah, you know, but mostly I'm gonna use pine and some hemlock I I've got to get some hemlock out. Do you need some hemlock? We might have a little bit extra at the end of this job. Well, we've got plenty on the lot. Yeah I just haven't gotten it out of the woods yet. Yeah, but anyway, but thanks for the offer Well, if you need some just let me know because um We cut a bunch on another buddy of mine's cross town Yeah, and we were gonna use it, but we just had so much here Okay, so if you need some some of it's already dried, you know, just it was dead sand and stuff Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't know what dimensions you're looking for but we did them like Well, I think we did some 16s 14s 12s 8s. Yeah I'm usually mostly 12. It's 12. Yeah That's where we try to stay. These are our rafters here. So we're We're into a little bit heavier. This one's 14s. Yeah, and we did some two by tens this morning Yeah, two by 10 14 footer hemlock green is no joke. I have a hard time carrying that alone Yeah Yeah, we're going full too. We don't mess around. We're not very good nailing so we need as much room as we If you believe that I started doing that and then what I ended up doing was I uh, I finally converted over to uh milling roughs on But at true, uh, like factory. Yeah dimensions. That's what I did A quarter. Well, it's like inch and a half inch and a half like like a two by six is inch and a half by five and a half Yeah, that's what I did. Yeah, because we had to use some hangers Yeah, and uh on our stuff and I needed double hangers. So I needed the exact Yeah, you know factory, you know, clean stuff with Sure Dimensions. So I did that it worked. It worked out fine. So that's good. Yeah. That's good. You had spruce on you that I didn't know there was much around Parking small little pocket. Yeah, and I only knew because of cruising the wood lot deer hunting. Yeah I can get that out, you know, it was funny this winner. Donny told jamie. He said Cut me five thousand board foot of pine He said cut me five thousand board foot of hemlock and then he said and then after you're done that he said cut me Five thousand cedar and five thousand spruce Jamie says where you want me to get that? Yeah, yeah, exactly somewhere up north Yeah, we got a kick out of that though. We kept asking when he was going to get that spruce and cedar cut for us Yeah, yeah Never happened. We've been watching the channel. Nice. Oh, we have awesome. Oh, I always have I know. Yeah, fishing and all that but you know Just two nannies every once in a while But if you need a if you start selling this big stuff, yeah, you have your tractor back Oh, yeah, yep. So so greg's got thick. I was gonna offer mine to you. Oh, that would have been all that'd be awesome If we needed it, but still yeah, you need it If if anything happens, that'd be so much easier to come over and get it appreciate it And I've got the jaws you do. Okay. Yeah, that's gotta be a lot better. Oh, it's well. It's slick Could it handle like a log like this or yeah? Well, they can if I've got the winch on the back now What I do is I take the winch off and put the back all on. Yeah, that gives you a little panel. Yeah Um, it's like that. Yeah, you probably really want to have the counterweight on the back. It would handle it it gets a little Yeah, be on the front when you got a load like that green hemlock with Yeah, this stuff is just so heavy Yeah, and this was a lot of a lot of it was actually cut in, um, january Yeah, yeah, but it just it just doesn't This summer not to draw it might have picked up weight this summer It might have picked up the weight. You're right. So sure. Yeah, but but no, I appreciate it and I'll talk to my buddy Yeah, let me know that'd be awesome. Yeah, because it's right there and the driveway doesn't just Scoot across the road. Yeah, are you milling often or when when do you mill? No, I right now I'm in between. Well, I gotta start driving school bus. Matter of fact, I just got back from canabunk Oh, wow school bus. Yeah the garage down there. Yeah, and so I school starts tomorrow. So I'm behind the wheel Hard to believe. I know it's that time of year Yeah, but anyway, uh, you know in between my runs, I try to do a little on the building Yeah, and right now I've got enough sawn ahead So that I I've got material enough to work on the building. Yeah, so I'm I don't need to saw right now probably for another month or so. Oh good for you. All right start sawn again Yeah, and then are you moving in the pine after that or still some more? I'm walking mostly pine after that Yeah, yeah, well, I'm gonna use vertical boarding and oh nice Are you guys gonna do that? No, we're uh, we're gonna see that it was fine. Now. We're probably gonna log side it Yeah, it's just so pretty, you know what I mean? It's great. It's a little extra work and a little extra money Well, yeah, it's worth it with the on-be-ons and being up in the woods Oh, it'll be perfect. Yeah, I think it'd be good. But if we weren't doing that, we would do the board and bat Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's it's the best way. I think otherwise. Yeah, right. Yeah, we've got a camp over the west And uh, it's on spring lake. Huh. It's over in t3r4 near uh Eustace. Oh, yeah, near area. Yeah, it's 14 miles north of Eustace. Oh, that's where we're at I put log siding on that. Did you? Yeah, and it does look good. I like it. Yeah We put that on my axe shop down at the ice cream shop, and we just fell in love with it I was getting it from Robin so we'll be able to get more of it. Yeah, I think we put the six inch on that building But we might go with the eight inch on this next one. Yeah, I went with the eight, but I bought uh Well, they were kind of like culls. Yeah, that's what that's what I like Yeah, and some of it you can you could work it in and some of it where it ran through the planar It was tongue and groove. Yeah, I actually ended up making it into shipwrap Oh, there you go. More than tongue and groove. Yeah, because I had trouble with the Tongue and the groove at times. Yeah, so I ended up going with shipwrap And uh, you know, I just made it my own and that actually Enabled me to use more of the material anyway because that was the issue with One that ran through the planar. Yeah for the tongue and groove. Yeah. Yeah, it would uh ship and Split out. Yeah, and that's why they would call. Yeah, because the ones we had were shipwrap They were yeah, it was like um, yeah, it was just like a shipwrap. Yeah. Yeah, like that. Yeah, and that's nice Yeah, it went together wicked nice. Of course dawning doing the cuts I mean, we didn't have a crack bigger than bigger than a fingernail, you know the way he did it I couldn't believe it. He left me alone for one minute. I had to tear one off Yeah, I only worked with him. I think I worked with him before him for like a week And uh, I was amazed at the He's so good That him and his crew did. Yeah, he's so good. I'm pretty excited. We're he's excited to to get up there That's a little poke. It's a poke. Yeah, we brought up, uh We brought up two lifts aboard in one trailer that that was that size It was a load It took seven and a half hours to get there. It took five and a half hours to get home All right. All right. Cause you have to go slow. Yeah. Oh, we just we just did all we could do I think on the interstate I kept her right at 65 And then once we got off the interstate like in um, like we went through oxbow Masardis root 11 there. Yeah, like pat and sherman And it was just these hills, you know what I mean? And the uphill didn't scare me as much as the downhill Yeah, you know what I mean? I don't know with all that weight in there. I had electric brakes and everything But you know, if one's a little tighter, you know, you start I said, we took it easy Yeah, yeah, and then in the woods we took it pretty easy too, but the roads are in good shape Yeah, there's good good shape on the way in isn't it? After all this rain It was bad on the way out it did The night we stayed over it rained like easy two inches that night So the roads were starting to get a little iffy. They were greasy on the way out. Yeah Yeah Jesus, they're holding up this summer. I know that means they'll probably hold up I know they had to have been in there cotton or something to fix them because there's there's no way they They would have held up, right, right, you know, unless they didn't get the rain we got. I don't know like Two years ago or last year we got all that rain in june And they didn't get a drop up past milanaka. Yeah, isn't that something? Yeah, I was talking to my buddy and he said they were in drought That's the other main, you know, you're in the other main. That's that's really nice. Yeah, I know they can say what they want. It's true Yeah, it is. It's true South of bangler We're pretty excited. Yeah Yeah, and we're excited to build it too, you know, that's a bath, you know, we're not dreading building it at all We're we're actually pumped kind of It's worth but that's the fun of it and to be there for donny and Get to see donny build another one. You know what? I mean, he's put probably puts him over a hundred 100 builds in his life So Yeah, he doesn't really count them, but it could be cool to know how many he's done. Yeah, right. Yeah Yeah, oh pretty good deal. I don't want to hold you. No, you ain't holding me up. I know you have a limited Amount of time to do this. Yeah. Well, no, you ain't really holding me up. Can you hear us from where you are? Yeah Yeah, right I've heard it for years. Yeah when greg runs it. Yeah. Yeah Well, if you hear it, you need to help lift in any of them beams over there. Just come get us Okay, you know if we're out here just come get us. Yeah, okay. Yeah, because I know I know with it with this type of stuff. It's a lot easier just to get another person It is. Yeah, even with fruit. I mean, it's still got to be heavy spruce, right? Now it's it's heavy. It's dried out some it's kind of nice. It's lightened up a little. Yeah, and but it's still yeah It's beastie. Yeah. Yeah. Are you doing six by six or six or eight? Mostly six by six. Yeah Yeah, that's a good size. I do have some six by eights that are gonna have to go up the next Well, come get us anytime. Okay. Yeah, we're like super hitter man On tomorrow I got to do I got to do my machine. So I won't be here till like 11 or 12. Yeah, and if it's not raining and they're talking rain now tomorrow I know they're talking rain again And then donny had a couple passes to the fair he wanted to burn up So we he and I might go to the fair on there on thursday or friday But be kind of fun shoot a video, you know With donny at the fair see if anybody recognizes them or go look at the cattle or something I'll I'll ask my viewers if they want to see donny at the fair Maybe we'll get them on a ride or two on the zip Yeah, oh man. Yeah. Oh good. Yeah Well, anyway, joe, but no that invitation Or no, you need that tractor. It's usually just sitting. Yeah, you'll be in my door yard You'll be our first call because because this one went down with a head hydraulic leak Don's went down with he's thinking it might he might have blown the motor Yeah, he's got to the part now. It wasn't the head gasket He's thinking maybe the sleeve so his was a part So we grabbed donny's and we did eight foot, you know stuff for like It was just it was good for that But then we kind of ran out of tops to do and it's nice to sink that blade and something bigger after After you know doing 10 20 of these. Yeah, that's labor-intensive. Yeah, and you get down towards the end and it's only this big Yeah, they look bigger when you load them. It's funny. Is that you know with a chainsaw? You're always like, oh, I can get one more then you load it and you get it down here And it's like only this big It's exactly but donny talks to me in the saw and everything so he's right though, you know what I mean I've been doing it too. I've I've got the same thing and I've still got some of those or you're talking Yeah, and you can get like maybe two two by fours or something, you know, yeah I think four was our smallest I told him I don't want to do any you can't get four out of yeah, right I did some odd stuff too with that with that kind of those kind of logs like I needed some like like bracing like yeah bracing like Like this kind of bracing. Yeah, you know, like about four feet or one And I I did some odd stuff like three by fives. Yeah for that. Why not? It's a barn anyway. Yeah, it doesn't matter what the dimension Yeah, yeah stiffens up the building if it doesn't matter. Yeah, this one could probably use some of those too Yeah, I need one of these minds wide open. We're thinking about we're thinking actually about covering the whole thing And just leaving like a big opening to get the logs in it'd be so much better Yeah, I'd like to do that eventually Yeah, but 40 years into the mill. We ain't gonna make many changes I think donny said he bought it in the 1980s. Did he really? Yeah him and bob lorence Oh, okay. Yeah, they bought it together and then they built a couple houses right off And I think they did danis house tom middleton's house and a couple more. Yeah, because danis said The lumber came from here pretty sure they milled his yeah And then um, I've then bobby bob sold out to greg. He just sold his half to greg because he had enough melon Yeah, right. Yeah, well pretty good. Joe. I'm gonna leave it alone. All right. He sounds good. No, really seriously just swing in I'm here like now that the school has started I usually am home Most days by nine in the morning and I have like from nine to like 12 39 of one maybe and then I kick off do my second run. So I've got that's when I'm around Okay, during the week. Yeah If you want to well don't end up donny and I want to come in and see your project anyway Oh, yes, we saw the other day. We were like, we were like, what's he building over there? We saw post and beam. We were we like the looks of it Dana swung in He swung in he said I had a beam up on the tractor on the fork Yeah, he goes looks like I came at a critical moment. He said maybe I better get out of here. Yeah, I'll come back later You know data it was wicked funny Yeah, we'll swing in one of these days midday. Yeah, it'd be awesome. You see how it's looking. Yeah, okay. Good. All right. Good now Thank you. We'll see you later. Yeah, I know I'm not upset. Oh, you wouldn't you won't upset anything People people probably appreciated that conversation Yeah, I'll see you this week. All right. And thanks again for the offer on that tractor That's huge. Hopefully we don't have to take you up on it, but we might Yeah, yeah, that'll get us through in a pinch. Good. Thank you. See you. All right guys, that's uh People wonder why I love main while he's coming back That's it right there Any any help you need is always offered in Maine. So here we go. I just made that other cut and I got a decent amount of wane on here for Something we're going to try to do rafters out of so if I take down two inches I can still get a rafter out of this two inch piece And it'll clear my camp my my complete log up So I'm going to take a two inch right now and have that for uh And then I'll slide that two inch or down and and cut it down to dimension in a little bit Get you guys set up and I'm going to take two more inches off this one All right, so that should clean up that that third edge over there or third corner And I'm going to be able to get a two by eight out of this if I get a little crafty If I get a little crafty and cut that just the right way But right now that we got this nice We got these two nice clean edges that meet Had a perfect 90 degrees I'm going to roll this log And then take the top off it these things got a mind of their own The goal today out of this log is as many two by eights as we can get for our roof rafters All right, we're golden. We got uh, I'll show you what we're looking at. All right, so we got those two Angles cut right here And these are pushed up against Get a little piece of wood in there. I gotta get out of there. That was my Pad When I needed the one inch All right That's out of there Cutting two by eights for roof rafters guys. These are 14 foot eight inches long We're going to have roughly a 10 pitch up there with a metal roof Ton of snow big snow load I'll show you this log's got like a hump in it So I'm going to take a little bit more out of that slab in the middle And I'm going to take a measurement right now and see what I got down the ends We're going to need even numbers so Eight inches over to get my first one Would be like right here. So It's roughly going to have an eight by eight block Um, I won't waste this stuff because I'll be able to get like a two by four out of it so if my first one is At 10 inches Then I'll be able to take that down another two and get down to eight inches So I'm going to throw a 10 and an eight inch cut right now All right going really well I got the main log down to eight inches, which is the goal I'm going to flip it once and then every cut I make off of it That's two inches gives me a finished two by eight from my roof rafters So this one right here. I should be able to get uh, I don't know if I can get a two by eight of that No, I could get a two by six, but we're not using any two by six on this build I could get a two by eight I can get a shorter two by eight So I think I will we're going to need some eight foot two by eight. So I pretty sure I can get one out of that so I'm gonna What I'm going to do is try to leave it right there. So I don't have to lift it again And then I got to roll this maybe it's going to be a hard roll alone That's a pretty good chunk of wood right there And the danger is going too far. I could put the stands and zapper. I could take a little risk Let's take a little risk You guys get to see the blooper show If it goes too far. All right, and then this one We'll get a two by eight out of that and then if I can lift this other one on there I should be able to get one out of that too But this one I gotta get a little crafty with this one. All right, so this one's got some weight on the bottom I want to cut out to get the eight Uh, yeah, if I cut that at 10 Yeah, I think I can do it if I cut the first one at 10. So I don't know if I can Get one out of this top piece or not. I'm going to show you guys at home So this thing's measuring nine and three quarters right now But this it's a little higher in the middle So it's worth trying one extra cut Since we're not getting paid by the hour On this job It's worth making one extra cut and trying to see if we can get like an eight foot Two by eight out of the middle of that piece of slab wood So here we go. I'm gonna I'm gonna run her down a few times First cut's gonna be at 10 inches the next one at eight inches How's the volume now? Is it any better? I just My bluetooth off my speaker my headphones are are bluetooth. So it's faint. So maybe my hand's over Over the speaker in this thing Can you guys hear me now? I'll be a little bit louder for you There you go. Nice. We're working now. So I don't know what the problem was if it was bluetooth Where I was holding my fingies or if it's just an iphone problem We had that problem the other day with donny. There you go. Thank you guys for letting me know Feel free any questions. I might have missed I think I can go back and read the questions and comments from before but if you guys have any questions now Now is a really good time to send them through and I'll take a couple minutes here and try to answer as many as as many as I can I'm gonna I'm gonna stack these while I'm taking questions So I'll show you guys how we stack these donny's donny taught me years ago how to stack these the right way There's a right and the wrong way And donny stacks them the right way of course. So that's how I learned how to stack them So awesome series daniel's liking it cool guys. I wasn't sure how you guys would like this series I mean it's stuff that donny and I love to do so for us it's kind of natural, but um Sounds like the machine needs some grease Yeah, I mean it doesn't it actually doesn't even have any grease fittings to be honest with you It's got like It's got a couple gears for the up and down that we we do grease a little bit, but then it just gets covered and in dust it's I don't know The machine's old. It's got to have a million hours on it. It's It's over 40 years old When do you plan on starting the building? We're planning on within two weeks Doing some earthwork and some groundwork And then after that the six by sixes we need six six by sixes I think I have four cut right now I cut one before I went to live and I need about 50 50 or 60 um two by eight so I got a it coughs it fats it cuts wood. That's the truth as you guys can see behind me So i'm going to grab throw throw your questions on there if you guys have any Or comments or whatever and i'm going to stack these um These six that I cut today so that way they're stacking and maybe maybe lose shed a couple pounds before we got to bring them up in the woods But i'll grab those Smallest diameter log worth mill and that is that's the question That's the only thing donny and I think have ever argued about out here at the mill. It was uh Was we put one on that was I want to say it was seven inches, you know, and that's just about like that And if it's excuse me, I got something going on my lungs, but it's not the sawdust But um with seven inches if that log's got a little crook this way or a little crook that way or a little bend that way It brings it down to like four or five inches. So Yeah, I I like stuff over eight or nine inches Um, we milled one earlier. We videoed it for you guys But I got to get to the editing room for that one, but it was 26 inches across It was the biggest hemlock donny and I've ever milled we couldn't roll it together On that mill we had to get the tractor to roll it and I think it took us Probably two hours to mill it down. We got a lot of lumber out of it, but After the after we were done we said well, we kind of like stuff in this 16 You know 16 inch range. It's a lot more fun to work with than the 26 inch range Um, yeah, so hopefully that answers that question I'm going to try to stack these if I see any questions or comments Then I'll uh, I'll stop what I'm doing and get to those But here you go guys. I'll show you how I stack them We put these one inch stickers on top and we're about four four or five foot wide about four foot wide And those are all the same thickness I can't even give you guys an estimated weight on these things because I wouldn't even know where to start, but Let's just say they're not light. This is where that second person's real nice I'm just glad they're not 16 butters. That's all I might just be making these look heavy guys They might not be that heavy And that'll be a row one's always a hair thicker on this mill She's heavy. All right, that's it guys Job well done for tonight. That's it for me I got uh, I got those done and I got a six by six done for the foundation right here I'm gonna wait for a little help to move that one. She's green But I'm gonna see Yeah Kirk, I don't know if it's gonna get dried Enough it's just been such a wet Wet tough summer for us up here in Maine What percentage of the mill of the wood have we milled so far JJ said great question We got all the boards done all the pine boards all the sheath and done Excuse me guys. I got some Big green globs of greasy grimy gopher gets in my lungs pretty sure I might have had COVID last week or or a little bit before that and just been dealing with the The COVID cough and the lungs since since But I'll bring it together. I got a drink over here. But as far as what we got done, I'd say we got about 90% done we have uh The only thing that we really need to do is Excuse me one second is um We got to do about 55 rafters We have those are two by eights And we need 172 by fours We we're pretty close on that And we needed about 55 two by tens. Those are done We have all the boards done. We have um four of the six six by six is done so So Honestly Two to three hard days a million. We should be able to have Everything done. We're gonna cut a lot of this stuff to length down here Just so we're not bringing up more scrap wood and trucking more scrap wood and it's quicker to do both But um, I'll take a couple more questions guys and then I gotta go wet my whistle How often do we change the bandsaw cut and blade? That's a great question So we're running we're running resharps here. These are old blades that we've already run once and then had Sharpened by the almas. So we usually run them until they break Or until they start getting super dull um We don't We don't know a lot of different woods here You know, we we do some hardwoods like you guys saw me do that ash the other night But um, it's mostly pine And hemlock which are kind of mill the same Yeah flat bed and a big rig that is the way to go. We're gonna We're gonna probably be using either three quarter or ton truck and some equipment trailers to get this stuff up And we're gonna do several loads. We're not gonna try to be heroes on the highway We got to come back quite a few times so So yeah, we're gonna as far as getting the stuff up there. It's just it's gonna be heavy We're not we're gonna use some heavier trailers than Than just like my snowmobile trailer and we'll use some heavy equipment trailers. We'll use some heavy dump trailers and um and horse and buggy You laugh, but where I live You see more horses and buggies than than you do most vehicles and sadly enough There's a bunch of accidents too, but but there's plenty of horse and buggies around we got real strong amish population Drive that lemonade right into me. See if I can Get that frog out of my throat But yeah, that's it. That's it for the mail guys. Um Things are going well. Mr. Clark stopped by. I don't know if you guys saw that conversation or not, but What a great guy he he watches the channel to um and came over And offered his tractor for us to use and told us about his Project he's doing so that was awful decent of him. You guys a lot of people wonder why I always come back to Maine after Traveling everywhere and that's one of the reasons right there is You know, it's just it's a common thing People are great here in Maine and hopefully they're great where you live too. I know I I felt the same way when I was in Alabama. I felt the same way when I was in texas and And then like a few people could make you feel that way when you were in florida, but Not overall so Any other questions guys or comments? I'm Heavy load Breaks Yeah, when it breaks, you're right on the blades Um Yeah, we're gonna head back up pretty soon Do you plan on using the new camp as your home base for your trips this winter craig? We're we're gonna run some trips out of there I'm not sure I got some big trips planned and and you guys know me. I'm just as happy sleeping on the ice as I am probably happier on the ice and in a camp but but uh But we're gonna we're gonna run some trips out of that camp if we get it to where we need to we're The the plan is to get it weathertight this year. You know, that means we won't have the siden on it We probably won't have the inside v match on but we're hoping to have an insulated roof on windows doors and weathertight so We can withstand any blizzard and hopefully run some snowmobile trips out of there Get get Brandon and the boys up there on some snowmobile trips and a couple ice fishing trips out of there maybe a big uh Do some shed hunting some bird hunting and some deer hunting out of there. So that's the plan for this year um, but then Donnie and I I think are gonna go be able to go out to that st Paul Minnesota ice fishing show the first week of december So if we do that, I don't I ain't much for flying so I'll be driving out might as well pull a trailer full ice fishing stuff And uh and ice fish for a couple weeks out there if Donnie's good for it and maybe even do a little bit in wisconsin too I've I know I got a pretty good following from wisconsin And um and a lot of really really cool people there Josh said do you have an address we could send stuff to you. It's pretty easy guys Um Living I live in a super small town. So if you ever just wrote joe holland jefferson main, it'll get to me um There's about 2 000 people in town. We're 80 square miles but um But yeah, it's it's pretty easy that way or you could send it to the to the jefferson scoop Oh, here comes a hawk. Look at that. Oh, that was awesome Wow hawk just took a shot at something. I don't know if you guys saw that or not But I missed some comments Going to watch some old ice videos. Yeah, there's There's a pretty decent library ice fishing stuff. Um, it's it's what I love to do so Um, let me see a little double d planning trip this winter Yeah, Dudley. I think Dudley had the covet this week too Or last week and he's struggling pretty hard with it Not as bad as the last strain, but but he and I might have gotten at the same time, but um But yeah, he'll he'll be coming up. He he tried to make it back for a second trip last year Metal roof on the camp Caleb. Yep. We are we've the last bunch of builds that Donny and I've done We've done metal roofs the um the aim ish Or as you guys call them the all mesh, they they make metal roofing right here in town In whitefield and it's awful cheap. I mean, I couldn't believe how cheap it was to do That building I did uh, I did a 14 By 24 my axe shop And it's got a A hip roof porch on it too And I went over and got a price from the guy. I think his name's Eli And I told him I needed, you know two sides. It's I think that one's like nine pitch so over 10 foot sheets And he he said it was with that the screws the ridge cap the drip edge It it was like 750 bucks or something. I couldn't get the money out of my pocket quick enough And I said there's two sides, right? And he's like, yeah two sides. So so yeah, it's it's decent pricing on it last forever And if you guys have ever done um asphalt roofing You know shingles then, you know, how much easier metal is to To deal with and the the snow load comes off it quicker and you don't have to replace them quite as quick So so we're definitely going to go with the metal roofing Good pike spots if you want to stop in north central wisconsin. Yeah Alan there's pretty good chance we we're going to try to get into wisconsin a little bit just because uh Man everybody I've ever met from wisconsin. I really like a lot. I've only fished there one time I was fishing at a lacrosse on the river in a bass tournament for flw And just met like the greatest group of kids that were into deer hunting and mudden with their tracks and four-wheeling and And uh hunting and fishing and just really made me feel like home The people there made me feel a lot like home and then uh When I was traveling I did one winter I traveled and I went to every jefferson Because that's where i'm from from jefferson main and I just got thinking how many other jeffersons that were out there It turns out there's about 28 in the u.s. And I visited all of them one winter It was a heck of a trip and there's there happens to be one in wisconsin and The people there were awesome. I ended up staying I think three or four days and The retired fire chief took me right in to the fire department He gave me like a day or two tour of the town and just a really cool place that uh That I hit it off of the people. So I've always really enjoyed people from wisconsin um And then I've I've noticed a lot of a lot of following on my ice fishing channel from wisconsin, which seemed you know, it seemed It just piqued my interest a little bit, you know So I don't know if it got out there and like one of the One of the fishing boards or the chat boards or something or if the similar type of fishing or if um If maybe I seem like a guy that That would fit in wisconsin. I don't know but um, but I got to get out there and and fish a little bit more I had a lot of fun in minnesota for those couple days. I was able to fish and this year if donny's well and um I'd like to make it a little bit longer trip and fish with my good buddy nick in minnesota for a couple days and a couple other guys in minnesota And then slide over into wisconsin and do some fishing too As long as the ice is good. It's it's a tough time of year, you know that first week of december You know, you guys could have a foot of ice or you could have nothing You know and last year I think I left like december 9th or 8th to get back for a show here december 10th That's the bagel bait and I think I want to say as I was leaving you guys got dumped on with just horrific snowfall that Was not the right time when you don't have a lot of ice so So what i'm getting at is you never know what the weather's going to be But if I get a chance, you know, i'm all years on where I should fish in wisconsin What I should fish for and and uh, who I should fish with and i'm planning i'm gonna let i'm gonna let you guys know this right now Donny and I are planning while we're in minnesota for that ice show if we get good ice You know and a couple of my buddies are gonna true. She said nice a couple of my buddies are um Might have to point me in the right direction, but i'm planning on doing A meet and greet this december in minnesota where donny and I set up our winter ice camping We're just going to set up on one of them 10 000 ponds you guys got minnesota And we're going to set up like we're going to stay probably for a week and we might stay for a week But we'd love it if a bunch of people came out and joined us whether it be for a day Or whether it was for a week, you know, you guys can set up your tents and stuff too I got to check the laws make sure it's the same as main but but main you could just do whatever you want on the ice So if they let us do that Um where we could set up for a week on the ice donny and I are going to at least do three or four days like a meet And greet and and fish for a while and and hopefully fish with some subscribers and meet some of the subscribers and Maybe learn a little bit about minnesota pan fishing and or musky fishing or walleye fishing and also um I think it'd just be a heck of a time to take over a cove or a pond or Or an area on a lake and and uh and shoot a bunch of video and stuff So if you guys are interested in that definitely subscribe to the channel Definitely stay tuned because while we're out there if weather permit and we're gonna we're gonna set up a um I think a super cool ice fishing meet and greet and maybe I'll invite some of the other youtubers too That I've met or talked to over the years But if not it's just gonna be donny and I which there's there's worse things than that So that's the first I think I've I've let that out of the bag that'll be More than likely just after the show in december so that first second week in december And then if it goes well, it's free of charge guys. We don't we don't try to make any money off people or anything like that so um If it goes well, then we might be able to pull one off in wisconsin too So that'd be kind of cool. I think and do that in a couple states on the way home It's not quite the big ice fishing tour dream that I have But it'll be good enough and then that'll get us back here to finish up on the wilderness camp You know pick away at some of the inside stuff if we want to or start doing some of our trips here because you know, I do love fishing in main and And uh got some pretty neat stuff for you. I'm gonna go home now And I'm actually halfway through and edit the weirdest edit I got I found an old card from 2021 Where stevie donny and I went up for muzzleloading week And we set up the wall tent up in the middle of north main woods new area to us And I guess I lost most of the footage. I don't remember State fish off next weekend ryan revere. I don't think they'd let me fish that state fish off I think you got to qualify for it But yeah, anyway, so I found this footage and it turns out it's got some cool winter footage of us setting up for deer camp for the week and You know, there's it's not like Awesome stuff that you've come to expect or anything But it's got us eating dinner and playing some cribbage and setting up a wall tent shoveling some snow and shoot I watched it. I was pretty interested in that and I was there So I'm gonna throw that together tonight for you And hopefully have it out within a couple days and it'll just be some weird winter footage in the middle of the The end of summer for you guys So if you if you like that kind of stuff, let me know in the comments Definitely, uh, let me know when we when we air it and donny's pretty excited to get that one out to you too But that's what I'm gonna do now. I gotta go Uh, we shot footage this morning milling some logs So I gotta try to edit that too and then I'll be at the ice cream shop tonight closing up and And uh training some new employees too. So That's what my night's got in store for me. Um It's about it. I got if there's any more questions Yo showing up the state fish off next week. Where is that state fish off? True cheese and I believe you good pike spots if you're willing to stop in north central, Wisconsin Yeah, I mean, I love pike fishing guys. I know it's like the state of Maine says it's a it's a bad word But the people in the state of Maine don't say it's a bad word But yeah, I I think I've read a lot of the comments guys Um in the last bunch Hit the thumbs up for the man more people see oh man, I appreciate that jj The the algorithm is a weird thing dude like Someday I might figure it out someday. I might try to figure it out a little bit harder. You know, it's Everybody says the channel should be a lot bigger than it is but I'm happy with the growth I have because You know donny and I were actually just talking about this the other day. It's like The growth that we see on the channel Is not fast. You know, it's a it's an ice fishing channel that we do some hunting we do some melon we do some Camp building we do some who knows what we do. We do some wilderness cooking. We do some canoeing on the river We do some camping on the ice and in the woods So it's like it doesn't appeal to all the people in the world but but It's a pretty slow growing channel and a lot of people say, you know, it should have X amount of subscribers That's that and the other thing But I honestly would take the subscribers that I have now that leave comments And they get invested with their time into the channel and and you know, I've met so many people this summer from from, uh, Wisconsin, new york Massachusetts, canada kit and then all over main that have that have Have luckily caught me at the ice cream shop or wherever I've run into them that um Man, those are the type of subscribers that I want on my channel. I don't care. I'd much rather have 30,285 or whatever that number is That where I know a bunch of them and they're and when I meet them it means something to them And the and that my channel means something to them then have like a million And and not meet a personal summary. You know what I mean? So So I really do appreciate all the support donny is blown away by it. It's so it's it's hilarious to me because he's like The most humble guy ever so when somebody says, you know, I call him up and say donny come on down for a minute You know, I got a surprise for you and there's a couple of viewers from wisconsin or a couple viewers from new york or You know a couple from benton main or from lincoln main or past the dumb keg or something like that And they're just so excited to meet donny and he comes down. He's just blown away by it You know, he's he's just such a humble awesome guy that you know spend his whole life in main and It's really cool. It's really cool to get him in front of a camera It's really cool to see Him interact with people then they'll leave and he'll just shake his head and he's smiling He says I can't believe they wanted to meet me. I'm like donny you're a pretty special cat You're a special bird, you know, I I don't even like sharing them sometimes with you guys But I'll do it because I know he's he's a true treasure. We're sharing So yeah, that's that's something that I always thought was pretty funny on the channel. So and when you guys do Recognize them in public make sure you say hello. He got recognized going across the canadian border Or he's I can't remember who's coming back into the u.s. We're going into canada And they waved him through he was starting to get his passport or his license And the guy said I know you he goes. Yeah, I watch you on youtube or something like that And it just made his whole week So stuff like that, you know, if you see donny in public Make sure you shake his hand say hello to him because he's just as genuine and great a guy is On film as he is in person Wisconsin man, I I'm so excited about the sport in Wisconsin I almost feel like I have to make that happen now like a meet and greet in somewhere in Wisconsin where where We can just get on the ice for like two or three days and And uh and hammer on some fish and I don't know what's like you got pike and crappie I think walleye too, but man pike and crappie get us going So that'd be awesome to do like a I'm eating greet, you know, two or three nights on the ice and and do like a catch and cook every day and If you guys are lucky, we might be able to do some donny's doughnuts too I'll see if he'll pack the supplies for that and and one morning We'll do donny's doughnuts for all the subscribers who come out and stay overnight or show up early in the morning And uh, we'll put on a pot of coffee or something like that I just think it'd be an awesome way for us to for donny and I to give back from the channel and share With you guys for showing all support that you guys show and and then while we're out there We could introduce you to the gear we're using and the electronics and you know You guys can show us the stuff you're using too if you're using anything different than us or newer than we're using But yeah, so I'll talk to donny tomorrow morning about That minnesota and wisconsin trip really hoping he can make it. I'm gonna I'm a hundred percent gonna make it I was asked by One of the larger companies to do something on the floor For for a couple hours during that show. So I don't I really don't want to miss that So I'm I'm going to be there anyway. I met so many great people last time I got to fish with with my good buddy nick for a day or two That was a blast. We did a live on that if you guys haven't seen that live That was one of my favorite days on the On the lake winna bago To walleye factory oshkosh. Okay, cool. I'll put that on the map So one of my favorite days fishing last year Was not even on my channel. It was on my buddy nick lenders channel channel Go to his channel and check it out and if you go to like videos and I'll say like live He's got a pile of live videos. He's the best I've ever seen of these live videos because he he literally brings equipment out there that you would never believe goes on the ice And he hooks up his underwater cameras while he's doing a live So the two of us went out and he showed me how he does that stuff I don't really have a lot of interest in it because it's just more technology than I'm Than I could I could even do but we shot this video and we had so much fun catching different species of fish. I caught a Master angler. I think they call it out there. We don't really have that main But I caught a master angler fish which you won't believe And we caught some bass and And some crappie and and just had a blast. It was so much fun in the conversations We're just really great from two different worlds, you know, like he likes my accent. I like his and uh, Yeah, Nick's just such a great guy. So check out his channel. It's li and the Li and the n er nick linder And it's uh, I think that's just the name of his channel if you guys you guys probably know him if you're from minnesota wisconsin Grumpy old man filmed st. Paul. Yeah, that'd be awesome I have her to win a bego because Because we got a lake winnie in new hampshire But yeah, so if you guys want to see if you jonesen for some some ice fishing content or any of my content And you haven't seen that one because it was on a different channel go to nick lenders look at his live videos And watch that one. It's like I think it was a couple hours of just crazy funny stuff really good conversation And really really fun fishing and we didn't whack them like we were hoping to do like I think I was out there like the day or two before And pretty close to where we were like two or three days earlier, I guess And did not whack them at all during the um the time that we shot together. So It's completely fishing. I'm gonna shut down the mill while I'm here We gotta put this stuff over there's our muffler cover. So no rain gets in because we got holes in the roof So that's that muffler cover and then I loosen them The blade so there's not a ton of tension on the blade So that's shutting the mill down for the night Got that Yeah, so uh, yeah, if you're jonesen for any of that ice fishing content check that one out I'll probably go back and watch it myself because it was a really fun episode to shoot and I I haven't watched it myself either and but nick always does have some really good stuff. So Hopefully I get a chance to fish with him um I met a guy named Sean who's one of the best Crappy fisherman I've ever met. He's a smasher Um, I'll share his stuff too. He's he's in my minnesota hybrid video So I'd love to get back on the water with him and then Somebody else told me they might be able to get me on Uh sturgeon unlike the st. Croix which through the ice sturgeon How awesome would that be? Let's uh And take you out of that And start to head on back because I got a feeling I probably got to get back pretty soon. But yeah, we got I'm feeling confident. We're doing pretty well. That's our stack of two by tens right there Um, there's over 50 in that We have one two three. We got about 20 two by eights now Maybe 18 and we need like 55 of those. So that's what we're going to focus on next I don't have a lot of confidence in our two by eight or two by four eight foot stud pile I'll show you that pile right here Just because I think we're going to have a lot of coals out of that pile Meaning, you know, some of the got twisted or just had too much wane on it or Or um, might have split or cracked or something like that. So I'll while we're on here I don't know if this will work in the vehicle I'll show you guys what's left for the for the log pile for us If you guys stay tuned, I'm going to bring you up. We're in Donnie's wood lot Winnebago Berlin guide Larry Smith. He's a pro on bago and could show you the lake. Yeah, that'd be awesome Yeah, so this is Donnie's wood lot. That's the That's the firewood pile that we pick out here in there. There's his little cabota And this is also where we do the maple in here. If you guys watch the maple syrup video Donnie's clearing this woods out to have a wicked nice maple grove and get a little more sunlight in there So that's where we do our maple in And then we got some just junk slash wood out here that Greg burns in his In his furnace And top of this hill is Donnie's deer stand. If you guys saw that the other day He's got a beautiful deer stand up in the tree I'll show you that There it is right there. I don't know if you could see it That's Donnie's deer stand We got a pile of pine right there that we probably aren't going to be milling that stuff This was all like rejects from the mill So that that pine right there is for firewood This pine right here is stuff that we could pick through Some of it's firewood. Some of it we're going to mill Usually deer standing right over there Donnie deer hunts out here and then this is the last Right here of the hemlock that we got down. So we got we got three more logs and a couple tops Three more logs and a couple tops here and the butt end of this one does not look too great But I bet you if you get in there a couple feet, that's just a nice beautiful big log another big in there Cat's life there you are and then this is the second log. That's the one I think I might have just milled There and then I mean these are big big hemlock As you could see we got we got all we need out of these Larry Smith big eater nice. So yeah, we probably won't mill that stuff. It's a little too small And we don't need any more toothpicks But we got these three nice logs to mill and We'll uh, we'll load them up in this dump trailer and bring them down either tomorrow or the next day And I think I had like two more logs down there at the mill to do But yeah, this is uh, this is kind of the yard in Donnie's woodlock Where we we do some target shooting. Yeah, that's pretty lumber I got I got some cool footage of when we cut that last winter Jamie and and jake cut it with a skitter and big huskies um And twitched out, you know four or five logs at a time, but I'm going to sign off here guys I'm going to head back. I got a lot of editing to do tonight. Stay tuned for that oddball Just a lost footage one. I'm going to post here this week Of uh setting up a deer camp in the north mainwoods In a wall tent with Donnie and Stevie Wish I had more footage. I know I didn't shoot a lot that week. I was sicker and sicker than the dog and and uh I just was really focused on Spending my time with those boys and not really shooting as much footage And I didn't quite know at the time how much leeway my channel would have, you know The viewers would would like it with the hunting on it and stuff like that. So So stay tuned for that and for the log cutting and Donnie said he wanted to go to the fair the Windsor fair Is happening right now. He's got a couple free passes So he wants to go to the fair and he wants to take me to the fair So maybe I'll shoot video of Donnie Go into the big county fair and see what you guys think of that and see if we can get them on a ferris wheel Or the zipper or something like that I'll show you guys what the what the winds are fair looks like So we might do that friday. We might go live We that might be one where I just shoot a bunch of clips and edit them together for you guys But I think it'd be funny. I think it'd be a lot of fun too. It'd be cool if Donnie gets recognized there I mean, I'm sure he will just from being in the county You know in this county, but also from uh being on youtube So if you see Donnie there there's a chance we're going to go friday I'll I'll talk to him and see if he's available on friday and that's about it guys. Thanks for tuning into this live life, hopefully Came out for you. Hopefully the volume got fixed Hopefully watching 45 thumbs up So a couple you guys gave two thumbs up Can't build footage.
