    Just wanted to say thank you Otto, you and your Family are what I consider to be some true dyed in the wool Americans and so many in the lower 48 and world wide don't know much about living in Alaska , You guys have shown us that while its not easy street, it's a rewarding lifestyle.

  • @gonnagetya1433
    @gonnagetya1433 3 месяца назад +6

    Nice to see you again young man. We put one of the brushes on a cable so we just have to crank it up and down from a box behind the stove (no going on the roof anymore as there is a pulley at the top). Advantage of that is if you have a chimney fire, you can quickly run the brush up the chimney in under 5 minutes and it puts the fire out. Disadvantage is that the pulley needs to be cleaned every couple years.

  • @ricosuave8123
    @ricosuave8123 3 месяца назад +4

    I’ve even use my old ashes on certain areas of my lawn where there are very large pine trees. The large pine trees cause specific areas of my lawn to be more acidic and the grass doesn’t grow as good there. Spread the ashes out in this area and mix it in with new damp soil and lawn seed and let nature do its thing.
