Well, I'm thawing out by the computer after a good day working down under.

The mud season has set in. Even though I try to avoid it on my "two-track" road thing for now until probably late may, I'll be carrying off loads of mud every time I go there

The tires are working well. I am not spinning at all, although on a cross slope, the truck will slide sometimes

I like that it has a triple filter.

Northern also had these knee pads on sale, so I picked them up, as I already destroyed the cheapo HF units.

After using them all day, I will report them as marginally effective. The straps are too long and unless you are an elephant or Arnie Schwarzenegger they will be too long to really grab and keep the pads in position

The pics are not so good, but I am trying to show the vent cushions I picked up. You simply stuff them up into the vent recess and a major heat loss is plugged, just like magic!

The big news is that I got the electricity working to the camper. I guess I didn't get the hot lead jumper connected tightly enough and it pulled out of the socket when I reassembled the 30 amp box. A simple reinstall and tightening fixed all that and just like that the camper was electrified.

I fired up the big hot oil radiator heater in the morning, flipping the load to max. Within two hours the camper was toasty, and by nightfall with the temps in the upper 30's and a 20 mph wind that camper was so toasty warm, that I almost stayed the night!

I did run into a problem, though. With the wind picking up, the stove is kicking all manner of smoke out everywhere. I picked up some stove pipe RTV to seal the joints, and I plan to install a flap valve in there to control the heat loss. That will be completed pretty quick due to the need for heat in the shop during the long cold workdays. But I will need to solve the kickback of smoke. It only does that when first starting, up until it gets to a good running temp, above 500F.

And again in keeping with improving the living conditions, I installed this nifty tooth brush holder. I firmly believe when one does something to improve his condition, there is a resulting psychological boost

Who'd have thunk it...A tooth brush making one happy! Weird...

I ordered four more stabilizer jacks for the camper. I wanted to buttress the long run of steel from the axle toward each end. I picked up four-5,000 lb jacks to do just that. After leveling the cribbing by walking it into the gravel some, the jacks were cranked up to contact + one turn.

Next, I went after the skirting again. It is a slow and methodical process involving a lot of measuring and cutting and fitting and recutting, then squaring and taping. But it is becoming a pretty strong and nearly airtight (wind) closure.

The bottom end is secured by 3" of gravel which is plenty strong. And this gravel is not going to move around, but rather pack in over time

Couple thoughts, use a shovel & bucket to clean out wood stove. If ash falls on floor or exterior crevices of stove then use that vacuum.

Knee pads, since you're fond of Duluth buy the pants with the double knee area that has an insert for their knee pads. No stupid straps to not function properly or make the back of your leg sweat and or rub raw.

Go buy the gasket seal for the door on the wood stove too & I always leave the door cracked open until you get the fire going good. Mo oxygen good for fire (caveman voice).

Edit: Other thought I just had, is that wood actually dry? Reason I ask is because once upon a time Ashley tried telling me they burn "green" wood in TX. Long story but he doesn't burn "green" wood any longer & has no issues because he has very dry wood and can tell the difference.

Fix that & carry on! ;D

I was reading about how a local church set builder, builds all sorts of things from this foam. He then turns it into stone, rocks, bricks, or concrete. He does a texturing then paint. He will paint with an exterior darker gray, then take a couple lighter shades of gray, cut that with water (a-lot) then spray the mixture onto the first layer. I tell you, the stuff looks like crete when he's done. So I was thinking of texturing it some with some sand or troweled on mortar, then give it the stone paint treatment.

That won't happen until June. The priority is to build in usable living space right now

Yea, good copy on all

Was going to pick up a new rope for the stove door today.

Have some dry logs and some drying logs, and loads of green stuff. I picked good stuff yestertag, but that darned wind was shoving air molecules down the stack. On that chimney, when I build the shed dormer, I'll shove that chimney up another section or two to clear the top by a few feet.

Yea, well I called Dow Corning and asked if they could make me a special run of camo foam board, but I guess they couldn't work me in, so I got stuck with the faded red stuff. Ya know it could have a gay pride rainbow pattern on it, just as long as it keeps me, the missesses, the pre-rangers, and ma doggies warm!

Don, I ran into a similar problem with a wood stove when I lived in the Pac NW. I installed a WeatherVane type of chimney top and it worked really well. It basically spins around with the wind and creates low pressure side of the open vane. Something like this.

^^ I concur with the Duluth pants or bibs. I have a pair of firehose bibs that have the knee pad inserts and they work great. No adjusting or having to worry about the straps. The only thing I noticed was the fireshose cloth rubs your knees caps a little raw if you are up and down a lot. But that rarely happened to me.

On smokey stove- grandpa always used a small amount of diesel or kerosene tossed from a old jelly jar onto his dry stack of kindling in the stove- this flames quickly and hotter than without warming flue quickly for thermal draw.  Adding another section of pipe and vane topper and you'll be breathing easier and not looking like a a Cheech and Chong movie!

I used to use some bar oil & the oxy / acetylene torch to start the stove in my first shop. Same idea & worked great.

he gets one more weekend, then again he might get 2 (because of the boot that he is still supposed to have on from said wheelie, but chooses to wear mandals with socks.) because I think the geritol dosage may have to get upped to assist with the bone (or is that bone head) repair.....;D

Little charcoal lighter is handy as well as a propane torch, both have many more uses around places like that!
Did that today JR. I lite it and it hit 500 F in less than a minute

Solid technique, I'll be keeping that little trick!

Back in the chock blocks at planet home. Last two days farm side fixin' stuff, and terrorizing the coyotes. We found two dens or homes or whatever those critters call home. One is that huge wood pile I pushed up with Sarge in the early summer. Strong urine scent and droppings around it, same-same with the barn. If it wasn't for the state burning down, I would have made a circle of kerosene and lit em' up. Then give them a 12 gage chaser as their flamin' butts cleared the wall of flames.

Anyway, I almost have the pink stuff done. Here is the rest of the North side:

Yep, he's wearing a Real-Man hoodie!

Then the east side was blocked off and secured with gravel inside and outside

The boys either worked on the camper project, or split wood, or took off, shotguns in hand after the coyotes.

That's good stuff for young men. They will always remember these days

Next, on the south side, there are two slides that are close together. I decided to make a singular box out of the two and wrap that on all sides except the south side which sees full days of sun

I added the R-7 1.5" thick foam board to the top side of the slides as well

I created a drip rail on each overhang to keep the driving rain away from the insides of the now insulated area

Going up the west side, which sees the majority of the wind, I cut in the foam board around the window

I ran out of full panels at this point. I'll pick up maybe 3-4 more to finish the south side and wrap the north side "Kitchen" slide-out

Yes, its crooked...

Paint covers all...

So if you see the dark gray on the lower side of the  camper, I plan to use that color to paint the pink stuff that Shawn likes so much.

The Chevy is really performing well. It had every opportunity to get stuck this (wet) weekend, but it didn't even spin a wheel. That Grizzly Locker that I got from Tate and Randy's ring and pinion is one outstanding piece of metal magic!

I managed 18.2 on the trip down and 19.2 on the trip back!!!!

Here are the four posts for the shooting bench for Henderson Range. I'll have the pre-rangers strip off the bark from those cedar posts, then I'll add a roof and a bench. I can see the boyz playing in there more than serious shooting, but what the heck, it's their place and time to explore and grow.
