I have to say I am going through some very serious health issues and stopping by your channel makes my day a little brighter every day. Thank you for showing your life and struggles and triumphs. God rules keep being great parents!
I used to have a Subaru Outback and I got 4 used Rims from the junk yard and put snow tires on it and switch it over yearly makes it Easier and saves you money :)
Who hasn't had a similar experience where someone told you that you shouldn't do something a certain way that you would regret it we learn from mistakes 😊 Thank you for sharing ups and down on your wonderful farm!
Al, you are so good at anything. This is the first time that I've seen an inner tube inserted. I hope you have a mild winter. We really need some rain here in California plus cooler temps and less wind. Olivia is a good helper in making that pasta.
DapacAtHome CA praying for California the fires are so bad they need the goats to eat the under brush and help maybe some wild goats like Colorado has might help. We have wild fires here but the winds are so bad there. God bless.
@Lumnah Acres , Al , California will get the rains during November , December and January. And then , because of the wildfires and the lack of vegetation , they will have mudslides. It's the normal California weather cycle. With the rain , the brush ( mostly tumbleweeds ) will grow profusely , and begin to dry out in March with the fire season starting again in mid-April. From mid-April to mid-November it will be hot with little to no rain. The winter rains will come down as snow in the mountains ( mountains that are thousands of feet higher than the New Hampshire mountains ) which will begin to melt in late February/March thus creating flash floods which can take out bridges in the valleys. I personally know of three bridges that were taken out while I lived in southern California. None of these things are ever mentioned in the ads that promote California. Most of the photos that you see that show a green California were taken in Feb. / March . Not during the summer as would be normal in New Hampshire.
And then, the news people ANNOUNCE when the Santa Ana winds are coming, so the pyro maniacs can get there early to set the fires! They do this every year!
Good morning Lumnah acres! How did your door turn out? I love and look forward to your videos daily, just watched an older video of Flat Stanley and his adventures on your farm. Sweet little Olivia and her giggles made my day. She sure has grown since then as well as your homestead. Thanks again for sharing your farm and family with us 🙂❤️!
Hi Al, I noticed before you put the tube in the rim of the tractor wheel, there was a dent in the rim. In my many years of automotive/truck repairs, whenever we came across bent rims, we would hammer them out as best as we could. Dents in rims usually causes slow air leaks, which is probably why the slim didn't hold. You can put a soapy solution on those areas and wait for bubbles to confirm there is a leak and after banging it out recheck with air bubble mix. Another trick too, is putting tire glue around the beads on both sides and when you pop the tire back on its bead the glue will help seal the rim. I hope this helps Al..have a great day.
Good morning from Elko Nv,, It's already down to 10 degrees here.. As for your tires on your tractor.. I kept having issues with flat front tires as well.. I took mine in and had them foam filled and never had a problem again.. The guy that did it for me said even when the tire wears out and you can see foam they will never go flat
more like a ranch with all the animals.....when he plants some vegs in part of his field then it will be a farm....but ranch or farm doesnt really mean much....
Hi Al and all 😁 just a hint, before firing the parts cannon (buying a tube), diagnose where the leak is with a water immersion or soap spray and look for bubbles. It may have been something as simple as a dirty bead or loose schraeder valve in the stem.
Loved the little intro dance in the kitchen! The Gina and Olivia ROCKED in the kitchen just loved it. You are very blessed! Sending all my good wishes to you all!
I love the way you & Gina teach Olivia how to cook. Olivia is going to be a good cook when she gets older. My Mom & Grandma started teaching me when I was 5, with pie crust cookies etc.
Goooooood Morning Al , Gina & Olivia , It sure is hard to beat those studded tires for winter driving. I used studded tires on all four wheels of my Fiero. Just to make sure that I would be able to stop . It's not the go that you need during the winter. It's the ability to stop that you need the most. You fixed that tire about the same as I would have. You have probably figured out that it would be very easy to cut a tube when using those screwdrivers. When concerned about nuts and bolts vibrating loose , I like to use a product called Locktite. ( it;s available at many places ) It worked very well on my race car. There are two types. Removable and permanent. I don't remember ever using the permanent. A four way lug wrench is pretty handy when removing lug nuts /bolts. It is also sometimes called a speed wrench because you can spin the lug nuts off or on. With two people it also works for removing lug nuts that have been installed with an impact wrench. One person to hold it in place and one person to step on it. Of course a breaker bar with a piece of pipe also works if you are by yourself as I usually am . Of course when out on the road you are not likely to have either one of them.
I've put tubes in all sorts and sizes of tires on wheelbarrows, garden carts, hand dollies, etc. I used to use prybars and screwdrivers but quickly bought some good tire spoons. Nothing quite as frustrating as putting in a tube only to find you punctured it with the screwdriver. Also like to watch you guys fixing your meals. Quality family time
We have the same inch of now coming tonight -- and I have two doors to put on our addition project (and the flashing) to get the place 'dried in'. Sometimes it doesn't snow until Christmas!!! Hope you can tie up your loose ends before they get buried as well!!!
Thanks Al & Gina. Enjoy your videos before I start the day. Appreciate today’s quote about happiness being the journey, and not the destination. Now to get some work done on my Kubota!
Good morning Al, Gina and Olivia. Nice video on fixing the tire. It's 39°F. Here in Sunny Valley, Oregon; that soup looks delicious. I'm making oatmeal for my wife and I for breakfast. She is lactose sensitive, so I use apple cider instead of milk for cooking it. Have a great week.
Can't explain how it made me feel to watch beautiful little Olivia, no higher than the pasta machine, making pasta, doing something that this old lady has never done! 💓You don't know me from Adam, but I know your family well enough now to have my throat tighten up and my eyes get wet watching Olivia grow. Tell her I like her dance, will you?
I love to see the girls dancing!!!!!! Adorable. I've never seen pasta being made before and it looks so easy to make. You guys just make everything so easy to fix and do with the Kabota. Every farm should have one of those.
Willow has a unique way of greeting you in the mornings Al. Loved seeing the dance party in the kitchen. Noticed the 'boys' are growing their Winter coats. Any plans to adding a pond over in that part of the pasture that seems wet all the time? The ducks would love it! I just love hearing you say, "Good Morning Modern Steaders". Makes my day. Blessings
Al when repairing a tire that has slime in it and has been going thru a field like you have. Take at least half the tire off the rim and clean out any debris and slime from it. Feel the inside of the tire for thorns and nails that can puncture your new tube. Then install the tube and the tire back on the rim. Yes the second nut is for locking the first one on so the stem doesn't get pulled back into the rim. Good luck and hope this helps!
That is great to know. My sister had a garden cart where the tires wouldn't hold pressure. She had to search all over for new ones. If she could have put tubes inside that would have been so much less hassle. She uses that cart all the time. It looks like yours with the criss cross metal strips as the wagon bottom.
I've been watching that soft tire for a year too, thanks for finally fixing it, lol!! Love your videos and appreciate all the time you put into your site.
If you get tired of the foam perhaps some textured paint or a cover panel of thin paneling. Could glue it to the foam and can match other wood in barn. Just a thought. Whatever you do it will look nice. You are a true craftsman. Don't let the slime incident bother you. Most of us have done it so now you know. Blessings from Austin Tx.
Great video! I would have taken the tire to a tire shop and paid like $50. You make alot of things look easy Al. The noodles looked very yummy, I have never tried to make my own but always wanted to. My mom used to make them and my sister and I would help spread them all over the kitchen to dry. They were the best! Great memories.
Al, Good job with the tube install. The next time you have to tube a tire, it's a good idea to remove completely and check for anything that may cause another leak, like a screw, nail and clean that slime out. When putting the tire back on, put just one bead on the rim, then install the tube, then the second bead. Once the tire and tube are back together, remove valve stem and inflate/deflate the tube a few times to make sure the tube straightens out inside the tire, some people use baby powder to help it slide around. As for the stem nuts, I've seen it done your way, or one nut/washer inside and the same on the outside, and a little blue Loctite on the threads. When you order another tube, get three 18'' tire spoons, best purchase ever. Have you ever thought of getting a set of steel rims for Gina's studded tires for the winter ? Just a thought and thumbs up !
When I put tubes in tires I brought the bead out of the rim on one side. The two nuts are to put 1 inside to adjust the depth of the valve stem exposure and the other on the outside of the rim to tighten the stem from twisting. Good change tho Al, the slime does make a mess in the rim. Gina and Olivia, those noodles looked so scrumptious!
I would cover that foam with some kind of thin wood veneer. And still looking forward to hearing what you’ll do with the ceiling...I am voting for wood or wood paneling on the ceiling. It would look great! Gotta make the door and ceiling match those amazing walls and spent so much time on! I bet you’ll be spending a lot of time in that workshop this winter.
No...not ready for snow! It’ll probably snow here soon too. Our weather is similar to yours except I think it gets colder in NH than here. We don’t get many days below 0 here. And the majority of people wait until it snows to change over their tires. Crazy busy time for tire shops! My husband and son were tire guys most of their working lives.
Could you put a light spray of soapy water on the tube? This might make it too slippery, but the tube and valve would easily pass into tire and around the rim evenly, maybe? Love the vids, Al.
Amazing! I worked mounting tires for many years and I have never seen a tube installed without one tire bead being undone. I thought for sure the tube would be damaged .
Up here in the north (Quebec Canada) we mount the snow tires on seperate set of rims, this way you can change them yourself and not damage the tire edge from removing and installing the tires twice a yr
Here is a few tip for putting in a tube. Leave the core out and put air in tube loosen the nut and push the stem in to rim a little do not take the nut off. This will let the air out between the tube and tire. air it back up, you can do this a few times to keep any wrinkles out of the tube. This way the tube will last longer and your tire will not be low the next morning. Should have cleaned the slim out and put just a little talcum power in. Keep it from rusting and getting wrinkles. I know with out taking the tire off you could not do that. Love the videos. I have learn so much I just want to return the favor.
Can you give me the link for your milking machine please? Question; How long do inner tubes store for before they perish because of the weather or because of the way they've been stored? Wouldn't it just be better to buy as you need ? Greetings from Sydney Australia
A little Slime on the bead will help it seal when remounting tire. I bought a tire mounting tool at Harbor Freight, makes breaking bead, and remounting much easier, and with all the tires you have around the farm, seems a reasonable tool to have. You need to completely remove tire from wheel to check for thorns or other sharp pokey things which will get to tube and your partial efforts will be ineffective in the long run.
one of the valve stem nuts is supposed to stay on the inside of the tire the other on the outside, that will lock the valve stem in the perpendicular position to the wheel and prevents it from being ripped off when being struck by an object when tractor is in motion.
Try to find an extra set of wheels to keep the winter tires on. That way they can stay mounted and balanced and it only takes 20 minutes to change them out. LKQ pick your part is a good place to look if you have one near you. You can pick up aluminum wheels for @$15 each. That's probably close to what it cost just to mount and balance each tire. Just a thought, Hope it helps.
Good mornin New Ham Shire .... Willow is messing with you AL heh heh! I've never used Fix-a-flat, so I wasn't sure what to expect ... thought it would look like the insulation foam and fill up the whole tire. Homemade noodles have got to be the best. That was a good haul of eggs .... are your Copper Marans and Olive egg layers producing any eggs yet? Are they better cold weather layers? Have a great week AL, Gina & Olivia .... take care.
Lumnah Acres ... Al...Try rubbing drier sheets on the purple garage door.... It just might get rid of the static. They also make spray cans of stuff to get rid of static on your cloths.
The pasta well dry in a bunch after you flower them ,take it from experience made a lot of pasta in my time ,and it freezes real well .NONA B.LOL. ❤️. But first you have to let the pasta dry out first than you put in freezer bags ,a couple of days should do it ok. ❤️
I've always had a huge fascination with watching a tire tube being changed. 😄 I was always in the way when my family members would do it when I was a kid.
Mornin’ Al, What drone are you using? I’ve looked but can’t seem to locate a reference. Thanks for ALL your videos. Thoroughly enjoyable! Take care...love to Gina and Olivia!
Question, I have noticed that it only looks like you milk the left side now, and not both. (This may be because of editing, but not sure) Also something else I am curious about. How much do you feed Willow? Normally dairy goats require as much feed in pounds as their milk weighs. Not counting hay or browse.
Well good afternoon 😃 oh wait it’s your morning It’s 3:51pm here in Abu Dhabi I guess I’m 8 hours ahead of you guys❣️ Al you’re a wonderful guy down to earth literally lol but you and Gina and Olivia are an perfect image of a homesteader. I love watching you guys well I get home for my Usa and watching you guys makes me smile 😊 Love from your old lady friend in the UAE
When I was a young fellow, before tubeless tires, innertubes came coated with talcum powder. The powder lubed the rubber and made it easier to place. If we got a new bicycle tube, without powder, we would "borrow" some of Mom's bath talc, or the baby brother's baby powder. The hint I read here to partly inflate the tube, let the air out, then fully inflate, is a good one to avoid folds and pinching. I also would like to see paneling or other finish over the insulation in the shop ceiling.
If you use a generous portion of baby powder on the tube, it slips in easier and it allows the tube to straighten out while it's inflating and preventing a pinched tube.
Glad you didn't have a mess with the tire Al and the Fix a Flat stuff. It went well from the looks o fit. Love seeing Tanner-he just reminds me of our little Kahlua, only not as hardheaded as our girl. lol The homemade noodles looked so yummy!
I know that you have probably answered this before but what is the song you use in most of your videos when filming in the kitchen? Also, when installing a tube in a tire, you really should remove the tire so you can inspect the rim and the inside of the tire for anything that might rub or puncture the tube. I really enjoy watching your videos.
Goooood Mawnin' Al! Mmmmmm, home made egg noodles can't get better than that! Do you know if you can get tube installed in auromotive tires? I've been told that tire shops won't do it anymore but I'm not sure if it's because there are laws about it? I'm in NY. .
Al, you should see if you can find an extra set of wheels to mount the winter tires for Gina's car. Then you can switch them over at home. Your truck also. Keep it up.
Hey Al have thought about putting your snow tires on rims so you can change the tires out yourself. I find that it actually saves me a small amount of money every year!
We always broke the tire over the top of the rim (on one side) & it slips right in with no chance of pinching it enough to cause a leak in tube. Much quicker, too I think. Just a thought.
The color of the garage door insulation seems to be absorbing the light when you probably want all the light possible in the work area. A lighter color will probably help make it brighter.
I get a discount on my car insurance if I put my winter tires on by early November. I lived next door to an older Italian couple and they taught me how to make noodles among other goodies. She dried the pasta over the back of a chair on a clean tea towel. Is Gina's pioneer cookbook still being printed. A shot of the cover would be appreciated. Have a wonderful Monday!
Great video. Glad you could change that tire easily. I was wondering about the slime too . The noodle making looked fun and then yummy. Lots of family goodness togetherness. 😺💞🎃
We actually are colder this am than you! 39 degrees and a little frost on the pasture as I let out our Nigerians this am in California’s Central Valley 💜
After years of repairing mower, motorcycle, 4x4 truck, tractor and car tires, Ive learned a few tricks. Sprinkle baby powder on the new tube before installing. Also add just a little air to the tube before installing to reduce the chances of pinching the tube. Use Windex for bead lube. Ive learned, if youre struggling with the tire/tube, youre doing something wrong. Tire repair is like a Zen thing.
If I can offer a suggestion with the snow coming and all, I'd turn off the auto chicken door timer and open it myself. Just to make sure the rails can handle the snow and ice without damaging the unit. Does it have an over ride I wonder if the door is stuck? I get 16 feet of snow per winter here so it occupies a lot of my mind lol. I would have installed the rails for the door on the inside, with the string inside too. I love that door but I don't think it would work here unless I gave the chickens wee shovels, the door would open in the morning and the chickens would be faced with a wall of snow. I'm really enjoying your videos, I look forward to 7:30 am now!
Tire Slime works only when the hole is in the tread pattern. If the leak is at the rim edge or in the sidewall you need to tube it. Tire slime will rinse out with water.
I have to say I am going through some very serious health issues and stopping by your channel makes my day a little brighter every day. Thank you for showing your life and struggles and triumphs. God rules keep being great parents!

I typically use the bucket of the tractor to break the beads on the tire...works super fast and is safe if you have stands under the chassis.

I would cover that foam with some kind of thin wood veneer. And still looking forward to hearing what you’ll do with the ceiling...I am voting for wood or wood paneling on the ceiling. It would look great! Gotta make the door and ceiling match those amazing walls and spent so much time on! I bet you’ll be spending a lot of time in that workshop this winter.
Too much weight on the door, just paint the foam a wood color.
Al, the racket made by the bucks, you'll have to put an automatic door opener for them. Lets see how they like snow.
I thought the radio worked.
I mentioned it a few videos ago about adding an automatic door for them too lol

Thank you for sharing, great stuff, keep on keeping on!
You and your family are an inspiration to many!
You can spray paint the foam. It will seal it and protect it as well as make it easier to clean/keep clean.
Good fix on the Kubota tire. I don't think I have ever eaten fresh pasta. Is there a lot of difference in the taste? Have a Blessed day.
Amazing! I worked mounting tires for many years and I have never seen a tube installed without one tire bead being undone. I thought for sure the tube would be damaged .
Enjoyed the "HAPPY DANCE" by your ladies Al......having fun together...love it.
We woke up to our first snowfall this morning. It was only about 1/2 inch. We live in the mountains of southwest Colorado at about 7400 ft elevation.

I bought a tire mounting tool at Harbor Freight, makes breaking bead, and remounting much easier, and with all the tires you have around the farm, seems a reasonable tool to have. You need to completely remove tire from wheel to check for thorns or other sharp pokey things which will get to tube and your partial efforts will be ineffective in the long run.
Such a fun video today ! Loved it and the happy dance topped it off 😆😍🥰
Great video my kubota tractor like your had problems with the front tires keep air I just put slime in my tires
one of the valve stem nuts is supposed to stay on the inside of the tire the other on the outside, that will lock the valve stem in the perpendicular position to the wheel and prevents it from being ripped off when being struck by an object when tractor is in motion.
Try to find an extra set of wheels to keep the winter tires on. That way they can stay mounted and balanced and it only takes 20 minutes to change them out. LKQ pick your part is a good place to look if you have one near you. You can pick up aluminum wheels for @$15 each. That's probably close to what it cost just to mount and balance each tire. Just a thought, Hope it helps.
Good mornin New Ham Shire .... Willow is messing with you AL heh heh! I've never used Fix-a-flat, so I wasn't sure what to expect ... thought it would look like the insulation foam and fill up the whole tire. Homemade noodles have got to be the best. That was a good haul of eggs .... are your Copper Marans and Olive egg layers producing any eggs yet? Are they better cold weather layers? Have a great week AL, Gina & Olivia .... take care.
Al you should make a wooden dowel umbrella/ ( clothes line )to hang your noodles on to dry .

... Al...Try rubbing drier sheets on the purple garage door.... It just might get rid of the static. They also make spray cans of stuff to get rid of static on your cloths.
The reconstructed lane and rock walls look beautiful in the fall sun. Brings a feel of Those Who Went Before,
The pasta well dry in a bunch after you flower them ,take it from experience made a lot of pasta in my time ,and it freezes real well .NONA B.LOL. ❤️. But first you have to let the pasta dry out first than you put in freezer bags ,a couple of days should do it ok. ❤️
Thanks again for sharing your video on changing a tire on the tractor👍🇺🇸
You are making quite the "compound," with all the building you've been doing! Looks very nice!
Morning Al! Willow has such a personality! We are on our fourth snow four inches this time 0 degrees F welcome to winter ❄️ Meeker Colorado.
Yea, it was cold in AZ this morning at 45 degrees at 7 am. Terrible winds still blowing.
I've always had a huge fascination with watching a tire tube being changed. 😄 I was always in the way when my family members would do it when I was a kid.
I wonder if you used a dryer sheet to wipe off the purple garage door panels, would it neutralize the static and make it easier to wipe them off.
Those noodles looked so good. I am so glad you had an easy time fixing your tractor tire. Changing tires can be a pain.
Use corn starch. Powder the tube with it. Makes it easier to put in!
Hey AL, we feed our chickens cayenne or red pepper in the feed to keep egg going in the fall and winter months .
Mornin’ Al, What drone are you using? I’ve looked but can’t seem to locate a reference. Thanks for ALL your videos. Thoroughly enjoyable! Take care...love to Gina and Olivia!
Question, I have noticed that it only looks like you milk the left side now, and not both. (This may be because of editing, but not sure) Also something else I am curious about. How much do you feed Willow? Normally dairy goats require as much feed in pounds as their milk weighs. Not counting hay or browse.
I’m guessing happiness is more of a pursuit than an achievement. Now being thankful is a true blessing. Love you guys great video 👍
I love this channel so much. I legitly look forward to your uploads as they melt my day
I vicariously experience fall and winter via your clips... I'm in Phoenix AZ..
Al show us the special chicks in the green house, they are part of the family too!
Well good afternoon 😃 oh wait it’s your morning It’s 3:51pm here in Abu Dhabi I guess I’m 8 hours ahead of you guys❣️ Al you’re a wonderful guy down to earth literally lol but you and Gina and Olivia are an perfect image of a homesteader. I love watching you guys well I get home for my Usa and watching you guys makes me smile 😊 Love from your old lady friend in the UAE
well that's a first for me never seen a tube put in like that but it worked god bless from il I used to repair implement tires
Good job Olivia on the noodles, they looks great.
When I was a young fellow, before tubeless tires, innertubes came coated with talcum powder. The powder lubed the rubber and made it easier to place. If we got a new bicycle tube, without powder, we would "borrow" some of Mom's bath talc, or the baby brother's baby powder. The hint I read here to partly inflate the tube, let the air out, then fully inflate, is a good one to avoid folds and pinching. I also would like to see paneling or other finish over the insulation in the shop ceiling.
Great video guys, I am glad you haven't had your first snow yet!
If you use a generous portion of baby powder on the tube, it slips in easier and it allows the tube to straighten out while it's inflating and preventing a pinched tube.
Glad you didn't have a mess with the tire Al and the Fix a Flat stuff. It went well from the looks o fit. Love seeing Tanner-he just reminds me of our little Kahlua, only not as hardheaded as our girl. lol The homemade noodles looked so yummy!
I know that you have probably answered this before but what is the song you use in most of your videos when filming in the kitchen? Also, when installing a tube in a tire, you really should remove the tire so you can inspect the rim and the inside of the tire for anything that might rub or puncture the tube. I really enjoy watching your videos.

@@tonygrimes13 Thanks. Added to my playlist.
you should check the inside of the tire to find the thorn, tack, etc. that is making it leak or it will make the tube leak as well......g
Tractor Supply has a manual tire changer for about 40 some bucks. Makes the job easier :) You could get a valve stem puller too
Good that you didn’t edit out the girls happy dance and having fun... Things like that make it fun to watch.. can’t always work and not have fun.
Goooood Mawnin' Al! Mmmmmm, home made egg noodles can't get better than that! Do you know if you can get tube installed in auromotive tires? I've been told that tire shops won't do it anymore but I'm not sure if it's because there are laws about it? I'm in NY. .
Al, you should see if you can find an extra set of wheels to mount the winter tires for Gina's car. Then you can switch them over at home. Your truck also. Keep it up.
On the barn floor. What worked for different people. was a colored acid wash for a floor. (concrete) than seal it.....
Hey Al have thought about putting your snow tires on rims so you can change the tires out yourself. I find that it actually saves me a small amount of money every year!
The right front tire on my Bx2360 leaked ever since I bought the tractor(years). I had it fixed at tire store. It was the valve stem.
We always broke the tire over the top of the rim (on one side) & it slips right in with no chance of pinching it enough to cause a leak in tube. Much quicker, too I think. Just a thought.
Great video again Lumnah's! Thanks for sharing! 👍😁
The color of the garage door insulation seems to be absorbing the light when you probably want all the light possible in the work area. A lighter color will probably help make it brighter.
I get a discount on my car insurance if I put my winter tires on by early November. I lived next door to an older Italian couple and they taught me how to make noodles among other goodies. She dried the pasta over the back of a chair on a clean tea towel. Is Gina's pioneer cookbook still being printed. A shot of the cover would be appreciated. Have a wonderful Monday!
Great video. Glad you could change that tire easily. I was wondering about the slime too . The noodle making looked fun and then yummy. Lots of family goodness togetherness. 😺💞🎃
Hi all of you !!! Both the goats do announce their presence !!!! Haven’t seen the other chickens in a while !!!
We actually are colder this am than you! 39 degrees and a little frost on the pasture as I let out our Nigerians this am in California’s Central Valley 💜
Do you have a place that does foam fill? No more leaks plus you gain some extra weight for stability.
After years of repairing mower, motorcycle, 4x4 truck, tractor and car tires, Ive learned a few tricks. Sprinkle baby powder on the new tube before installing. Also add just a little air to the tube before installing to reduce the chances of pinching the tube. Use Windex for bead lube. Ive learned, if youre struggling with the tire/tube, youre doing something wrong. Tire repair is like a Zen thing.
If I can offer a suggestion with the snow coming and all, I'd turn off the auto chicken door timer and open it myself. Just to make sure the rails can handle the snow and ice without damaging the unit. Does it have an over ride I wonder if the door is stuck? I get 16 feet of snow per winter here so it occupies a lot of my mind lol. I would have installed the rails for the door on the inside, with the string inside too. I love that door but I don't think it would work here unless I gave the chickens wee shovels, the door would open in the morning and the chickens would be faced with a wall of snow. I'm really enjoying your videos, I look forward to 7:30 am now!
Tire Slime works only when the hole is in the tread pattern. If the leak is at the rim edge or in the sidewall you need to tube it. Tire slime will rinse out with water.
Good morning Al and family thanks for the great video i hope you an your family have a blessed day
