It’s been a minute! That’s going to be a great addition to the property. Awesome to see the progress - a dock is now on my todo list for next year.
Good morning from Minnesota. Looking great. Sure looked heavy for you two experienced gentleman to flip ! We look forward to the other videos coming !
Hello Corey, it is great ro hear from you. I hope you and your family have enjoyed a great summer. Flipping those two sections was definitely a bit of a lift. We flipped the last section today. Tomorrow's plan is to get them in the water, that will no douvt also be a bit of fun! All the best Buddy, thanks for saying hello.
Looks like 3 guys would have been better! Will you have to pull it out every fall? I'm assuming so.
Hello Buddy, I hope everyone is doing well and have enjoyed a great summer. Flipping those sections was a bit of a lift. We finished and flipped the last section today. I am hoping to find some time to get them into the water tomorrow. I will definitely have oatmeal for breakfast in the morning! The floats are designed to be left in the water over the winter and are guaranteed for life. I will move them into some protected water for the winter. Hopefully all will be well.
looking good paul.
Thanks so much, your encouragement is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Paul, great to see you!. That dock will be very nice I can see you and the wife enjoying it. Take care friend.
Hello Mark, I hope you have enjoyed a great summer. I am certainly enjoying building the dock sections, 'tis another fun project at camp. My wife and I are looking forward to enjoying sitting on the dock and having a roof over our new (to us) boat. All the best Buddy, it is aways great to hear from you.
@@OutothehousewithPaul been busy building a addition on daughters house, probably the last big project for this old guy. lol
@@marksparkplug7758 Sounds great, I am sure your daughter really appreciates all you are doing for her. I have a friend (an electrical contractor) that is 74 and going strong. He also often uses the words :last big project", I am sure you have many good hours of project work left in you. Maybe we just need to change our pace a little... I wonder if a little wisdom isn't kicking in...?? LOL You're a good man Buddy!
You just sold me.
@@rblbatb Greetings, I am sure you will love the 700. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Good luck! Paul
Build it out of red cedar and make it lighter...just saying!
Great idea! Thanks for reaching out.
You make very clear understandable videos. And, your turn is a bonus. Thanks for the effort
@@IndependentArmz Greetings, Thanks so much for your encouraging words, they are much appreciated!! All the best, Paul
Could yoi help me identify a rotor tiller ive just purchased?
Greetings, I will gladly try.
Was nice to hear and watch, thanks Paul
Thank you so much!! I very much appreciate your encouraging words. All the best, Paul
Hello, thank you for sharing the videos. I am wondering how long does White Cedar last in the elements, what have you seen the lifespan to be?
Greetings, Thanks for your encouraging words. White Cedar is renown for it's ability to well withstand weather and the elements. There are Cedar fence rails (split from large Cedar Logs) that are well over 100 years old. As well, Cedar was and remains the go to lumber for the small boat building industry. Hope this helps. All the best!
Hey Paul, good job with the addons bud. Always nice to have everything in order eh!. i did much the same with my old mule! atb .
Hello Mac, Thanks Buddy, it is always great fun to modify and add some features to a machine. It is always so good to find a little time away from the world and enjoy some time in the shop. Hope you and your family are all doing well and enjoying spring. All the best Buddy.
Beautiful work Paul , you make it look so easy , God Bless my friend
Hello Kirk, Thanks so much Buddy. Your positive and encouraging comments are always appreciated. Blessings to you and your family Brother.
Thank you, you made that choice easy for me...Ordering now!
Thanks so much, I am confident you will enjoy and appreciate the benefits of having a rear windshield.
67 here and just picked up a 2024 700 deluxe. You are right...Power steering is the only way to go. Armstrong steering is for the young!
Congrats on your new machine. I am sure you will love it. I agree completely, power steering is greatly appreciated when one is our age! Good luck and all the best to you as you enjoy your new Buggy.
The fact you can smile while disassembling your Pioneer for routine maintenance says a bunch about you sir! Thanks for the great video!
Greetings from Ontario. Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging comments. It is my pleasure to make these videos. I hope you are doing well and enjoying our spring season. All the best, Paul
Hello from the Yukon, Paul! How great it was to find my old shop teacher, and one of my favourite teachers, on CZcams! I just bought a Pioneer 520, and was watching some install videos when I found your channel. Now I get to attend your shop classes again, and learn about some potential upgrades to my pioneer as well. Cheers
Hello Lawrence, it is great to hear from you!! I hope you are doing well and enjoying life in the Yukon. Long story short, we had originally ordered a 520 and were on a waiting list for delivery when our local dealer called with an opportunity for to purchase a 700. I doubt one could buy any Honda SxS and not be satisfied. We were on a ride with a group last weekend and in the group was a 520. The folks that owned it just loved it. Thanks so much for reaching out and saying hello, you have certainly made my day! All the best Buddy, Paul
He would have been a great shop teacher! Even better to stumble across his channel. Paul You should go on a road trip to visit him and stop by my place and fix the wiring harness on my Honda quad en route !
@@lovesloudcars Maybe one day in retirement my wife and I will take a long trip across Canada and stop in and say hello!
Thanks Paul, nice addition to the " Buggy " as my granddaughter calls mine.
Hello Mark, It was great to hear that your granddaughter also calls your machine your buggy. Oh what wonderful joy our grandchildren bring us! Hope you are doing well, it is always great to hear from you.
There you go Paul, all fixed!!
Thanks Mac, it was a job I had put off far too long! Hope you are doing well Buddy.
Hey, Paul. I have missed some of your videos. It's sad to see the Ash trees dying. We have lost so many. I sure hope they come back someday. It makes good firewood as long as you get it in time. Great video. Take care
Hello John, Life can sure be busy. I can appreciate being stretched for time and missing one's videos. In this past year I have found it difficult to find time to watch our friend's videos and have unfortunately missed many. It is sad to see all the Ash we have lost, I have a number yet to cut around our house in in some fence rows. A neighbour just dropped off some Ash logs for me to saw into lumber for him. He has/had a beautiful stand of Ash at the back of his place. It reminds me of all the beautiful Elm we cut because of Dutch Elm Disease when I was a kid. We were in your neck of the woods last weekend. A family member invited us on an ATV ride with the Frontenac County ATV Club. We went from just North of Verona to Wheeler's Pancake House. It was a great trip and the pancakes were awesome! As always, it was great to hear from you. All the best!
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Soft Rear Windshield for your Honda Pioneer 700.( if your car year is 2014-2023)
Greetings, Thank you very much for your most generous offer. Yes, I am interested in testing your products. Approximately a year ago I was contacted by Starknight and supplied with a Soft Rear Windshield for our Honda Pioneer 700 (2022 model). I produced a video of the installation and posted it to my youtube channel, link below: czcams.com/video/jnUNQYnTGJs/video.htmlsi=KIh6Ke-SaYCEspUn In the very near future I will be producing a video reviewing our Honda Pioneer and the accessories we have installed. We are very pleased with the Starknight soft rear windshield and will be sure to mention it in the video. I will send a link once the video is completed and posted to youtube. Thanks again for your offer, if there are other/future products you would like us to test please let us know. Paul
@@OutothehousewithPaul Hello, thank you for your sincere reply. We checked your video, and it's really good, but we need video quality to be 1080p at least. Thank you again
Thank you, i have sourced a new camera, future videos will be at 1080 or above. Thank you, Paul
@@OutothehousewithPaul Ok, we will have a new product that suits your model soon, we will contact you then. Thanks
@@StarknightMT_official Thank you, I will look forward to hearing from you in the future. Paul
Same Brite Bore cleaning kit I purchased...in 1967 ...possibly earlier. So what is the scope...is it a Weaver 4 power? I have 3 Cooey 22...and 5 Cooey shotguns...one is a goose gun with a 36 inch barrel....in mint condition....and very accurate. I used to shoot with a group of chiropractors who had a hunt camp. After a day of blasting clay pigeons, my shoulder would be black and blue....and occasionally it bled. If you can't take a groundhog with one shot you should get some serious training. I took 38 from the farm where I grew up. They could be dangerous to farm equipment due to holes and mounds of earth. In grade 11, I took a Ranger 22 long rifle derringer to school...on my lunch hour I took it to a nearby gunsmith and a day later paid him $5 for adjustments to the hair trigger on it. Times have changed....take a gun to school these days and you could get into real trouble! Later just out of the army I had to take a hunting course at the end of which we had to take 7 shots at a small target. I had 5 shots in the bulls eye...and the rother two missed...until I pointed out to the instructor that two of the holes were slightly oval. Made my day!
Greetings, An errant thumb swipe sent my last reply erroneously... Love the stories from the good old days. Sounds like you have an incredible collection of Cooeys! I can remember reading about and dreaming of shooting a Cooey Goose gun (and of course with Imperial ammunition). My father had a friend that duck hunted with a Cooey Single Shot, he kept two shells between his fingers and could reload incredibly fast. I bet you had some fun with your friends at the hunting camp, I can remember those bruises... You must have been quite a good shot in your day, that's a lot of ground hogs with a 22, and those 7 shots in 5 holes, wow! Thanks for reaching out and saying hello. All the best, Paul
@@OutothehousewithPaul Old age is knocking on my bones....I will weep the day I sell off my collection of guns but no one in the family is interested in them. Rather than put up with all the tire kickers (so to speak) I might give Ellwood Epps a call as they are about 20 minutes from here (Bracebridge)and buy collections. One can spend a fortune on guns but in the end simple guns and a good shot can do all that is necessary. You cannot hunt today without a course taken or a hunting license at least newer than about 8 years, in order to get a new license. I took up archery too and if a target was moving it was easier to hit. Out with two friends on a private range (archery golf) the first shot ( by a true expert ) hit the bullseye dead centre (about 60 yards...certainly not more) ...the next guy (using a bow sight rather than via instinctive shooting) split the first arrow. Then the first guy took another shot and split the second arrow......I was the amateur and took the next shot and split the third arrow....all four in the same little hole....name the odds!!!! Pity we did not have a camera. Sometimes life is not fair!!!!!
Nice bird Mr.French! I got one last year but have not yet this year
Hello Harvey, it is great to hear from you. Thanks, I was Blessed with a great hunt and a great Tom. Congrats on getting a Tom last year, that is fantastic! You have lots of time left this year yet, I have no doubt you'll get one this year as well. Thanks for saying hello and for your kind words. Take care Buddy!
Jakes are good eating ✌️🇨🇦
Absolutely!
Wish we had turkey here Paul! Congrats on the hunt hope its a good eating one! Looks like a big one!
Hello Mac, I hope your spring is off to a great start. I am very thankful that Turkeys were re-introduced back into Ontario. It is great fun each spring to head back to the woods and call in Mr. Tom. We had our first meal of fresh turkey on the day he was harvested, my wife is an amazing cook, it was awesome. We debone our turkeys, and freeze them in different cuts/packages. We really enjoy all the cuts, even the thighs and legs which can be quite tough (to say the least). My wife seasons the legs and thighs and then cooks them in a pressure cooker. They are amazingly tasty and tender when cooked that way. It was a great hunt, I sure enjoyed the challenge of calling them in from so far and the heart pounding anticipation that is part of the fun. Great to hear from you Mac, all the best Buddy!
Fantastic video Paul, you are blessed. I commented on Logger John's last video of him showing the Tom's strutting that you will probably be giving him a call For permission to hunt. Lol. Take care friend.
Hello Mark, As always, thanks for your encouraging words. Brother there is no doubt, I am Blessed! I love your comment on Logger John's video, LOL!! In a couple of weeks we are going on a community buggy ride (to Wheeler's Pancake House) and will be pass through his neck of the woods. I hope you are doing well and enjoying the beginning of spring. All the best Buddy!
Congratulations paul GOD BLESS
Thanks Tony, it was a wonderful day. All the best Brother.
Nice Bird, seems all my outdoor youtube channels are hunting turkey. If I ever get out of Arizona I might have to give it a try.
Hello Eric, It is a wonderful time of the year, Turkey season is an added bonus. Turkeys were only reintroduced here in 1984. They have done very well with a stable population found across most of the Southern part of our province. I am sure you would enjoy the challenge and the fun of Turkey hunting. All the best Buddy!
Great video! You did a great job putting that together. Congrats on a very nice turkey.
Thanks so much, it was a great day and a great hunt. I hope you are doing well and enjoying spring.
Amazing! I just received my PAL and looking forward to hopefully trying this fall or next spring. Well done!
Hello Wil, thanks so much. Congrats on getting your PAL, you have some great fun and excitement ahead. All the best Buddy!
Always a treat when a new video pops up here, looking forward to what spring turkey season has in store for you!
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement Wil. And, thanks again for the incredible gift. Your incredible thoughtfulness and generosity were an incredible gift to my heart. Thank you.
I'll be following along to see the progression of your seeding project..
Greetings, I am excited and eagerly await to see how many of the seeds germinate. Let's hope we have many future Jack Pine seedlings to transplant. Thanks for saying hello. Paul
Love the sign!!!
Thanks Buddy, the sign was an incredibly generous and greatly appreciated gift. I hope you are doing well.
@OutothehousewithPaul We are doing excellent as usual my friend. Should be a video soon showing our new workshop concrete floor!
@@ebinmaine I look forward to the video and seeing the new concrete floor.
Thanks for sharing! I did not knew the seeds of the white pine were already gone when the cone are open! And now, I know how to harvest seeds from other cones (not opened) so they can germinate quicker than waiting for a forest fire (lol!). Thanks Paul!
Greetings, It is great to hear from you, I hope you are doing well and have had a good winter. Jack Pine cones/seeds are certainly unique to say the least. I am excited to see how successful the seeds I planted are in germinating. Thanks for your encouraging words. All the best, Paul
We've got a row of trees on the edge of our yard that my aunt started from seed. We put them there out of the way when I started building our house, but now they're too big to move! I have some tiny seedling black locust trees in the house now. I'm hoping to figure out how to keep them from winter killing. I hear it is fantastic wood.
Hello Buddy, Kudos to your Aunt for starting the trees from seeds, I am impressed! I have a friend that once showed me where his descendants had settled (as pioneers), the only sign of where their cabin was, was the hole where the root cellar had been dug and a stand of Black Locust trees surrounding the cabin site. Coincidently, he is a retired forester. I asked him about the trees, he told me he had thought they were planted by settlers in our area to help with honey production. He also mentioned that Black Locust lumber is very dense and has great rot resistance. I think it is great that you have some seedlings, I hope they do well in your Northern Winters. As always, it is great to hear from you. Paul
Can't wait to see if the seeds grow. God bless you
Thanks Tony, I am excited to see how the seeds fare. Blessings Brother!
We have some kind of pine tree that looks like that here in west Tennessee my uncle planted 2 trees in our lawn he worked for the forest service for years and the grew trees at the nursery.
Greetings from Ontario, It is great that you have a couple of trees your uncle planted. It would be interesting to know what type of Pine they are. It would be amazing if they were also Jack Pine. Thanks for saying hello. All the best, Paul
I have a Honda FOURTRAX FOREMAN RUBICON 4X4 AUTOMATIC DCT EPS 4-wheeler. I’m thinking of getting a side by side. The 520 looks promising, however it has no power steering. Really looking forward to for a trail models and I’m partial Honda for obvious reasons. I’m also looking at the 700 which you said is wider. However it has power steering as well as more power and other advantages. The dealer I go to usually has “plain Jane” bare bones models as well as models with what customers would usually put already installed. I wish Honda would add power steering to the 500 & 520.
Hello Curtis, We could not be happier with our Pioneer 700. Yesterday my wife took our first ride of the season. We covered over almost 170 km on mixed trails. Our machine is a delight to drive, I especially appreciate the power steering and automotive style torque converter and transmission. Since producing the video you watched we have added soft doors and a soft rear windshield. Although yesterday was quite chilly ( a few degrees above freezing) we were warm, dry, and comfortable throughout the trip. When we were looking at machines and had a 520 on order, I had already decided that I was going to add aftermarket power steering. All in all, we are so happy with our choice of machines. Good luck in your quest for a machine, I am confident you cannot go wrong buying a Honda. All the best, Paul
Thanks for good tips in valves, helped a lot. Try this next time, instead of screwdriver, use 1/4" dowel, and have a sharpie nearby, as you feel you're at TDC, mark a line around dowel where it meets plug threads, and rotate engine a couple of times to validate TDC, by watching location of sharpie line as it nears plug opening. Thanks again.
Greetings, Thanks for your positive and encouraging comments. And, thanks so much for the suggestion to use a 1/4" dowel marked with a sharpie to monitor the piston travel/position. What a great idea!! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your idea, thanks!! Paul
Bummed you said Ontario Canada not Ontario NY. I've got more dead ash than 10 people can shake sticks at. Parents built new cow barn in '79. All lumber but mow floor is home grown ash that was milled 1/2 mile down the road. They put woodstove in the house to burn all the slab wood. It lasted lil over 2 yrs. What model Deere ya got there? 2750 myself. It handles 99% of my firewood. Between pulling logs, hauling in carryall, and splitting w 3pt splitter.
Hello Brandon, Greetings from the other "Ontario". I can appreciate all of the dead Ash around your place, our local countryside is much the same. It breaks my heart to lose such a valuable species. It is fantastic that your parents built a cow barn with Ash from the farm. And to get two years of heat from the slabwood, what an added bonus! We built a workshop on our farm with Soft Maple harvested on the home farm and sawn on our home built mill. It was a great project. We burn most of our slabwood in the wood furnace in the shop. 2750/55's were and are still great tractors. We have an 1840 with a 245 loader. Ole Betsy serves us well. Thanks for reaching out and saying hello. Your encouragement is appreciated!
@@OutothehousewithPaul now that you say 1840, I have watched one of your cutting vids b4. Didn't know that model, had to look it up. I'm not in Ontario but close enough that you could've come filled up your truck 3-4 or 34 times. Really hate to see it just rot. Trees going down real bad in the woods but not so bad in hedgerows. Your ideas on y?
@@brandonhoad9033 Hello Brandon, The 1840 was a Canadian model of a tractor made in Manheim Germany. It may have been the same as a 2040 built in the US. All new John Deere tractors imported in Canada below 100 hp were German built (import laws and tarriffs??) and anything 100 hp and above were built in Waterloo Iowa. I am not sure where they are sourced/built today. We have an old AR and LI (as well as an Allis Chalmers B) that I hope to restore one day. I have great respect for old machinery! I am not sure about the answer to your question re. fencerow vs. woodlot Ash going down. There are few large stands of Ash in the bush here, they are mostly scattered. Unfortunately all Ash are pretty well finished here. Any areas that did have significant concentrations of Ash are a mess and will be years in transitioning to other species. Oh well... Hope you are enjoying our change in the weather, our neighbours were cultivating before our last snow storm and I am sure some will be back on the land tomorrow. All the best!
@@brandonhoad9033 A further thought: the loader on our tractor (a 245) was built in Welland Ontario. Unfortunately the plant closed in 2000.
G’morning Paul. Nice saw work. The ash around here in Minnesota, is about gone. I sell sooooo much tree service wood Ash it’s exhausting. Have a nice day
Hello Corey, Great to hear from you Buddy. Losing the Ash species is quite a loss for us all. There is a small village close to us that had large and stately Ash lining its streets. It was a huge amount of work removing them from amidst the wires, poles, buildings etc. The team that looked after the tree removal work did an admirable job. I cannot imagine how much Ash you have processed, and how much work it has been. I bet the firewood has been greatly appreciated by many on cold winters' nights. All the best Buddy!
Wow, that sounds very similar to my whole area. I’ve already sold 8 full cords so far. Take care.
@@coreyriley7160 Mornin' Corey, 8 full cords on top of your own personal firewood, wow that is a lot of work! Your work ethic is solid!
Finally got the chance to watch this. Those varieties are foreign to me, though I've obviously heard of them. Do you need big stuff quarter sawn before you use it for handles? I expected you would have salvaged and sawn a few boards for that purpose.
Hello Buddy, It is interesting that Ash, Elm and Butternut are not native to your area. I assume you have mostly Boreal species: black and white spruce, balsam fir, jackpine, tamarack, birch, trembling aspen and balsam poplar? One day we hope to visit Alberta, so many people from here have headed West and stayed. The countryside looks amazing! I did not save any of the lumber from the Ash to saw but do have a few other Ash logs waiting to be sawn. You are right, the best way to produce handle wood is to quarter saw. It is always great to see your videos, I really appreciate the shots taken from the cab of the truck as well as those of machinery working. I hope you have had a good winter and spring on the farm and on the job is good.
Good to see you out putterin around. We're getting ready for a BIG snowstorm coming in this afternoon and lasting 2 or 3 days. Should be all set. Prepped as much as possible. Be safe!
Hello Eric, It was great to have and enjoy some time outside cutting some wood. The same storm is in our forecast as well. It is a cozy feeling to be in our old farm house with the kitchen wood stove nice and warm and to think of how many storms people have been warm and dry in this house. I hope you folks don't get blasted too badly, after such a mild and early spring it will be quite a change. Always great to hear from you Buddy, I hope you and your wife are safe and cozy throughout the storm.
Hey Paul, snow all gone eh? Always good to get out at the firewood for sure clean up of dead trees and stuff good exercise as well. We are having the worst weather this year down his way and forecast not looking up yet! Take care oh we had the pea soup and doughboys today and I think I ate too much......cheers !
Hello Mac, Yeppers, the snow is all gone, flowers popping up and syrup season is over. Our forecast is calling for a bit of a storm over the next few days with some white stuff falling at the tail end. I cannot imagine the winter/spring you folks have had, wow! I bet that Pea Soup and Doughboys was good, it sure is hard to eat only a little!! Always great to hear from you Buddy, all the best to everyone!
Nice video. That's too bad about your ash trees. Good that you were able to salvage them for some free wood.
Hello Buddy, I hope things are well in Northern Alberta, it we great to see some of your shed hunting successes. We have quite a bit more Ash to cut, some of it is from trees we planted almost 40 yrs ago. Oh well, life happens... All the best!
Ash was the poor man's oak at one time. Sad to see them all gone. Thanks for sharing. Hope you had a great Easter.
As always, its great to her from you Doug. It is sad to see the end (for now) of our Ash, how many canoe seats, gunwales... Easter was good thanks, I hope you and your family also enjoyed the time. All the best Buddy!
Good morning and thanks Paul, Ash are completely gone in my wood lot took 6 years to clean them up. Hope you and the family had a blessed Easter and take care buddy. Is this the year you join me in retirement?
Hello Buddy, My heart is a little saddened by the loss of some of our Native Species; Butternut, Beech, Elm, and of course Ash. We certainly have a bit of firewood ahead in all the Ash that we need to harvest. In my younger years we harvested many large stately Elm that had succumb to Dutch Elm Disease. We burned lots of Elm and harvested quite a bit of lumber. We all had a Blessed Easter thanks. The older I get the more I realize the immensity of what it means. I/we are so thankful, we are Blessed beyond measure! Retirement; we are on the path but are not quite there yet. I smile thinking of how much you must enjoy "working" at various tasks when every day feels like Saturday. It's coming... :-) All the best, I hope your spring is great!
My retired friends say every day is Saturday except Sunday
