I wish I had a third of your energy Joe. I’m going through my second round of throat cancer and remember when my life was just like yours. Keep on going my friend...I love watching your channels. I’m in Wi and looking forward to the warm up this weekend
Greetings from your Wisconsin neighbors! My wife is also into ceramics, she has won a number of awards for her work. But now that she is retired she has put the ceramics on the back burner and doing her first love quilting She has a real nice kiln and all the accessories that go with it so looking to get rid of the kiln.
We are looking for a kiln. We have a couple of them but she wants one with the digital controls. Ours just has the knobs and she wants digital. Email me about what you have. joe@homeandcabinconstruction.com
Sad about your neighbor's garage, but glad it was ONLY the garage! Florida girl, here. I just can't IMAGINE that cold!!! The soap and ceramics look awesome. Hook us up with Melissa's store when it opens!
My grandmother and grandfather were into ceramics. My grandfather's hobby was pouring molds full of slip. Their collection of molds were sold for cheap just before they passed. We still have a bunch of their stuff that I painted as a child.
Joe, you and your family are from hardy stock...... I could NEVER live in that cold.....I'll take cold wet winters in London any day ! Love your show !
Can see you two will enjoy Melissa find!! i really like the coffee cup, and i have no clue Melissa knows what she is doing with the mold's..it is always a welcome site to see People enjoying something and you two seem to have the same type of likes ,Lucky find for you both to have meet...
Schy Mark Either Or. I found Joe on his survival channel. That’s why my mind automatically goes there. And I would prefer if it said Joe and Zach Survival on it.
Now he has 2 orders for "The Tent" coffee mug!! Help support the JoeandZach Survival channel, order "The Tent" coffee mugs, signed by Joe and Zach!! LOL
I'd have to agree Joe & Melissa... I would Purchase a "The Tent" mug, I love coffee and your channel besides if it puts a few $ in your pocket you deserve it!
Wow, Joe! You and Melissa need a drama break! So glad you were there to help your neighbors and get the fire department there as soon as you could! Be safe in those brutal temperatures. Hope Melissa gets a snow day from work! MJ
Greetings from Tennessee! I absolutely love watching all your videos! You and Melissa are such sweet people and we're so happy you found each other! Many blessings to you as you enter another stage in your life!
Wow...again that is cold......Can’t wait to see the future of the ceramics adventure....I think you two are on to something here...There are a lot of requests to purchase your ceramics....Can’t wait too se where this leads...Thanks
My goodness Joe!! Right now here in NY where I am the temp is 5 degrees, wind at 16 mph coming from the West and it's -14 with the wind gust but y'all got us beat!! So scary to see that fire!! Thank goodness no one was hurt. Loving the ceramic art and the soap. See you on the next video :-) and please stay warm and safe!!.
Firetrucks always have full water tanks in the Fire Station. I was a Firefighter for 28 years in NY on the Canadian, Vermont border in the Adirondacks. I have fought numerous fires with the air temp below -35.
All the ceramic look great. Can't wait to see them painted up. I hope your neighbor has good insurance for their garage. I also hope that nasty cold goes away soon.
Stay warm guys...brrrr. Hey Joe, 11:30 at night? Dude, you broke night!!!...lolololololol Too bad about your neighbor . Glad no one was hurt. Perhaps this spring you will have a garage project and it will be the start of many more projects close to home. It is very nice seeing Melissa on video...she has proven herself to be a trooper.
The clay pieces are fun - I'm guessing Melissa will paint them for gifts? Really sweet. Oy! That fire! Imagine having to put it out in those temps too. Firefighters are a special sort of hero. So glad no one was hurt but gosh, that was awful.
So sorry to hear about your neighbors garage! Glad you guys were there to call it in!! That soap would be great for you to take to camp, won't have to buy soap since you can make your own! LOL I sort of remember when I was a kid and neighbor did ceramics. I got to help some! I want a Joe and Zach "The Tent" ceramic coffee mug!! There I have my first order in Joe. LOL Man I don't see how you guys can get out in those COLD COLD temperatures!! I came to work this morning and it was minus 3 here in WV, luckily we don't have any wind!! Stay warm Joe and Melissa!! Juddie - J & J TOA
How much would you charge for two bars of soap? I use it all the time. My ants sister acquired a lot of different molds. Not sure what there plans are for them. They just stored them in the trailer she bought to store them
I am not really sure. I know we would like to make a bunch of soap and then put it for sale. Melissa says she wants to find the perfect recipe that she likes before she makes a big batch.
I really like your new place. Possibility’s are endless for that property. You should think about selling soap. Would love to order some Joe and Zac survive soap. LOL Regards Mark
Amazing cold. Time for indoor projects! I see the dogs are sticking pretty close to home, too. And you're talking about snow-shoeing across a frozen lake towing a sled to The Tent in this weather? Dang, Joe!
BRRRR! When my son was a tiny baby when we lived in Canada the temps got down to -60! At that temp, it doesn't matter if it's Celsius or Fahrenheit! When I saw your thumbnail I was afraid it was your house! Thankfully no one got hurt. Feel sorry for the firefighters in those temps, though! Watching you pull the ceramic pieces out of the molds makes me want to pull out my paint brushes!
That house is surprisingly well put together, Melissa is correct, it has done great. There are improvements we will make in the areas we remodel, but I really can not complain a bit.
That’s crazy I don’t think I could live in hat cold condition I thought it was bad here but not even close. Good thing it didn’t have time to spread they could of lost everything. Thank God you guys was there to call for help.
I grew up having my dad's mom and dad having a ceramic shop. Had over 35000 molds. In high school I'd work pouring greenware. Then when I graduated I worked there full time. I poured alot in my time. I poured lots as we sold to other ceramic shops the greenware. I also taught classes and fired the kilns. We had 3 different size kilns. Our biggest was a coffin kiln. It held alot of greenware. We also sold bisque pieces too. And we airbrushed pieces. It was heavy work. We had big molds weighing up to 150 pounds empty. You cut the excess off after you take them out of the mold. That's probably why I have to visit the chiropractor alot now. Can't say I miss it.
Hey Joe, pretty cool ceramics. You seem to do it all my friend! To bad about the neighbor’s garage. Was a fireman for 12 years, and it sucks fighting fire in the snow. It is not bad when you are in the heat of the battle, because of the heat being given off from the fire. The mop-up and rolling up the hoses is the part that sucks. By that time you are wet and very cold. You both try to keep warm.
You need a wire type cutter for the soap. They work great. This time of year is great for these type projects for sure. What a shame about the fire. It happens so often this time of year. I am glad no one was hurt.
When it's that cold outside, what is the temp inside the house? How do you even keep the house warm. I can't even imagine what 0 deg would feel like. It's 54 out now. Brrrr.
Hey Joe, you might want to pull those hanging basket pots off your deck railing. They stay moist underneath when the sun comes out & will rot the wood. Learn from my mistake of leaving them on my railing over the winter months. Thank God that garage was detached from the house.
That’s cold, sorry for your neighbor and his loss of the garage I hope no classics were hurt in the filming of the video. I’m a car/garage guy and fire is the worst. I don’t have open flame heat in mine . It scares the crap out of me. I have electric heat in mine for that very reason.
Our Trash company had a HUGE BUILDING BURN YESTERDAY & is still burning.. We haven't been this cold in Central Indiana for 25 years. Negative 17 with a wind chill of up to -40 to -50 below. Today a little warmer -7 this morning with feeling like -25. No school yesterday & 2 hour delay today.. 5 inches of snow headed our way.. Stay Warm
I will take a Christmas tree and bowl of potato salad, from the previous video to go. Can you ship to Georgia? Haha... Man it is cold up there. Thanks for the video.
I cannot nor do I want to imagine what it would be like to go thru something like that. This an example of why I'm a proponent of detached garages that a person would heat with wood. Wow. It was down to -28 here on Wednesday with windchill of -57.
The ceramics look great.. Terrible to see that garage going up in flames and good thing it wasn’t very close to the house. Melissa, I’m trying to send ya some Heat from the South. We’ll be in the 70s 1st part of the week... Canada needs to keep that Jet Stream on their side of the Border 😆
Nice ceramic's. I didn't know that's how you do that. This morning at my house it was -30 below and the wind chill was -45 yesterday it was -25 below and the wind chill was -55. I remember 2 other times it was 25 below but i don't think we had the wind chill that cold. And then it supposed to be in the 40s by the weekend. Time to break out the shorts.
OMG thats cold you guys, here in Scotland it does get to minus 30 F but that is usually when we get the Siberian wind, Minus 10 - 20 F is pretty common here though, take care and have a 'dram' of the good stuff, it helps warm the parts that cheap whisky doesn't reach.
Been watchinjg your videos for a short time now and enjoy them quite a bit ....Just curious where are you actually from i see you go to the house in minnesota then travel to lousiana and to the tent lol so just wondering since you are always got stuff going on . :)
Now that is what I've been waiting for. Great video of arts and crafts going on. That is what ya do during winter. I love that you and Melissa like to do these kinds of things together. Can't wait to see the next steps to the finished product. Nice array of subjects to work on. Will make great gifts for next Christmas. Thanks for Sharing. Shame about your neighbors loss. Those fire trucks must have a heater on them for that water not to freeze. I just don't understand why people live in places that cold. I'd die.
The furnace heats the house just like any other day, you can not tell inside that it is that cold outside. The thermostat was set at 72 and the house stays at 72.
Coming up soon, if I can get through all these comments (every time I finish them I click on the new ones and a whole new list pops up) I am going to pull the sled down and the snowshoes from above the workshop.
I grew up about just outside of Proctor, about 10 miles from you, in the 1950's and it was not uncommon to have temperatures minus 20 to minus 50 and at times lower. In the mid 1960's I worked at Wood Conversion in Cloquet and I used to make more money after work in the parking lot jump starting cars at $3 a pop than I did working at $2.56 per hour. People get complacent or just don't know that when you burn wood that keeping that chimney clean is a must. A dirty chimney coupled with a metalbestus chimney spells disaster. Most metal chimneys are rated at 2500 to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, creosote fires mostly go up to about 4000 degrees Fahrenheit and burn through the pipe in about 30 minutes. There are several factors that go into Not getting a chimney fire, being lucky is set in at about one percent, a clean chimney tops the list at about 80 percent. Sorry this happened to your neighbors.
Remember I want the Lg. Christmas tree! Been looking for 1 for 20 yrs.! LOL If need be I will drive up there from St. Paul to get it! Boy I wish the nearby shop/classes had not closed!
Good video. Sorry to hear about the neighbor's garage. I would place an order for a Joe & Zach survival mug. How far away are you guys from the nearest town? They always keep water in the trucks. I'm also guessing that your nearest fire department is volunteer. Meaning that when the pager sounds they respond to the station from home, work or wherever to get the fire trucks. It's not like down here in the cities or Duluth were they have he paid Department or Duty Crews where somebody is always at the station.
Have been watching the news on your brutal cold snap.Keep safe mate... we are fighting bush fires 🔥 here... have lost 2 huts and most of the property has been burnt out... with only 2 was to go til our deer season kicks off. ... fortunately no lives lost.... love to your family’s..😎👍🇦🇺
I wish I had a third of your energy Joe. I’m going through my second round of throat cancer and remember when my life was just like yours. Keep on going my friend...I love watching your channels. I’m in Wi and looking forward to the warm up this weekend

Interesting video. Soap and ceramics! Sad for your neighbors loss.
With the high winds it was a blessing the House didn’t catch fire along with the garage!
Melissa is amazing to give up Louisiana for your frigid temperatures 😍
Yea but she thinks my tractors sexy... Hahaha. She is loving the cold weather, I am missing my Louisiana trip. Lol.
Fantastic job on spotting the fire and calling it in
Melissa gets the points for that.
Sad about your neighbor's garage, but glad it was ONLY the garage!
Florida girl, here. I just can't IMAGINE that cold!!!
The soap and ceramics look awesome. Hook us up with Melissa's store when it opens!
Great minds work great together. God bless you two 😎😎😎👍👍👍!!!
I was looking forward to Melissa using the new molds. 😍 Everything looks Awesome 👍
My grandmother and grandfather were into ceramics. My grandfather's hobby was pouring molds full of slip. Their collection of molds were sold for cheap just before they passed. We still have a bunch of their stuff that I painted as a child.
Joe, you and your family are from hardy stock...... I could NEVER live in that cold.....I'll take cold wet winters in London any day ! Love your show !
The ceramic pieces turned out good. Sorry the neighbor lost their garage. Stay warm in that Minnesota weather.
Can see you two will enjoy Melissa find!! i really like the coffee cup, and i have no clue Melissa knows what she is doing with the mold's..it is always a welcome site to see People enjoying something and you two seem to have the same type of likes ,Lucky find for you both to have meet...
I would totally buy a Joe and Zach Ceramic Mug!!!! That would be a cool piece to own. Just putting that out there Joe. ❤️❤️❤️.
Schy Mark Either Or. I found Joe on his survival channel. That’s why my mind automatically goes there. And I would prefer if it said Joe and Zach Survival on it.

Really enjoyed watching the ceramics, first time I’ve seen that, thanks!
Ceramic items look pretty cool Joe and Melissa! Sucks about the neighbors garage!
I certainly hope these items are going to be for sale on one of your channels!!! They are absolutely georgeous!!!
Thanks for sharing
I feel you windchill pain, I am north of Minot, ND and our temp are about the same. Stay warm and have fun with the ceramics.
Not talking.about the. Mols but did you guys. Make your the at the tent beautiful. Thanks

Thank goodness no one was hurt. Loving the ceramic art and the soap. See you on the next video :-) and please stay warm and safe!!.
The ceramics looks very good and glad No one was hurt
Firetrucks always have full water tanks in the Fire Station. I was a Firefighter for 28 years in NY on the Canadian, Vermont border in the Adirondacks. I have fought numerous fires with the air temp below -35.
Must be in Clinton County? I am a firefighter in Franklin County, 25 years now. Fought a many a fire in sub-zero temps...
@@jamiegratton9748 yes, Peru.
@@jamiegratton9748 I would have 33 years this year if I were still active.
Jimmy Weir ... the blue fire trucks! I belong fire to Westville FD. I’m glad we didn’t get the cold like Minnesota did!
@@jamiegratton9748 Yes the blue firetrucks. I spent many hours at your training ground when I worked at Franklin back in the early 90's.
As cold as it is, I'm so thankful that you got Melissa out of the 5th wheel! ❤🌅🌵
Great video thx!!
All the ceramic look great. Can't wait to see them painted up. I hope your neighbor has good insurance for their garage. I also hope that nasty cold goes away soon.
How do you keep the house warm? We had 10 below last night and our house was 58 this morning
Up here the houses are insulated very well. We had the thermostat set at 72 and the house always stays at 72.
Stay warm guys...brrrr. Hey Joe, 11:30 at night? Dude, you broke night!!!...lolololololol Too bad about your neighbor . Glad no one was hurt. Perhaps this spring you will have a garage project and it will be the start of many more projects close to home. It is very nice seeing Melissa on video...she has proven herself to be a trooper.
Wow, crazy cold. Good thing you didn't head to the Tent yet. The molds look like too much fun.
Looked like a hot fire! Stay warm my friend....
The traditional type of episode returns. Thank you for the fun. Sorry about the neighbor's garage.
Hope all is well with your neighbours now and the ceramics are looking great.
My son and his family live in MN near Fargo ND....cold is brutal. Stay warm and safe.
The clay pieces are fun - I'm guessing Melissa will paint them for gifts? Really sweet. Oy! That fire! Imagine having to put it out in those temps too. Firefighters are a special sort of hero. So glad no one was hurt but gosh, that was awful.

When does the online ceramics shop open?
I'm also interested in the Grand opening!!
Same
Me as well!
One of my sisters lives by Elk River, Minnesota and does pottery and ceramics! She has pots all over the world! She taught pottery in schools!
Love the soap glad everyone was ok that looked like a bad fire Tuesday night we were at -20deg thats wind chill man you guys got to be cold
Prepping mold and pours bring back memories!
Thank you so much for sharing! Can Melissa maybe do a start to finish ceramic project?? Pros and cons?? It looks fun! Thank you!
I like the molded Christmas tree ! Good thing you called 911, they could have lost their house too!
When its that cold does the water from the hose freeze as it sprays?
Not until it hits the ground, it is an ice skating rink around that garage now.
Curious what the temp is at the tent?
Thats just to cold. Brrrrrrr. I loved the Christmas tree. All of them are really nice tho. Tyfs God bless you
I really like your new place. Possibility’s are endless for that property.
You should think about selling soap. Would love to order some Joe and Zac survive soap. LOL
Regards

Joe, what are you heating the house with?
Joe, what's your thoughts now on house, upgrade all Windows and doors? A lot of air leaks and hard to heat?
It has done great! The Louisiana house would have exploded in this cold
That house is surprisingly well put together, Melissa is correct, it has done great. There are improvements we will make in the areas we remodel, but I really can not complain a bit.
Four deer in our back yard now, chewing their cuds. So fun about the molds. I remember fondly attending ceramics classes back in the 1970s.
Cute ceramics, I miss doing them! Lucky girl!
That’s crazy I don’t think I could live in hat cold condition I thought it was bad here but not even close. Good thing it didn’t have time to spread they could of lost everything. Thank God you guys was there to call for help.
LOVE THY NEIGHBORS, JOE!!!
We have not even met them yet. Lol. They are the kind of neighbors we like... The kind you watch from a distance.
I grew up having my dad's mom and dad having a ceramic shop. Had over 35000 molds. In high school I'd work pouring greenware. Then when I graduated I worked there full time. I poured alot in my time. I poured lots as we sold to other ceramic shops the greenware. I also taught classes and fired the kilns. We had 3 different size kilns. Our biggest was a coffin kiln. It held alot of greenware. We also sold bisque pieces too. And we airbrushed pieces. It was heavy work. We had big molds weighing up to 150 pounds empty. You cut the excess off after you take them out of the mold. That's probably why I have to visit the chiropractor alot now. Can't say I miss it.
Hey Joe, pretty cool ceramics. You seem to do it all my friend! To bad about the neighbor’s garage. Was a fireman for 12 years, and it sucks fighting fire in the snow. It is not bad when you are in the heat of the battle, because of the heat being given off from the fire. The mop-up and rolling up the hoses is the part that sucks. By that time you are wet and very cold. You both try to keep warm.
I really feel for the guys and gals doing that, it was a brutal cold day.
wow..its -15 Here with a wind chill of -40 in southwest Michigan it's so cold..stay warm my friends
I thought Joe must be making another alcohol stove when I seen the cover photo on this video. Great video as always.
You need a wire type cutter for the soap. They work great. This time of year is great for these type projects for sure. What a shame about the fire. It happens so often this time of year. I am glad no one was hurt.
You should have Melissa make you some Pine Tar soap for the Cabin. My wife makes it, love that stuff!
👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟WI here. very cold!
When it's that cold outside, what is the temp inside the house? How do you even keep the house warm. I can't even imagine what 0 deg would feel like. It's 54 out now. Brrrr.
The house stays right where we set the thermostat. We had it set at 72 and the house easily stays at 72. You would not know it was -30 outside.
Hey Joe, you might want to pull those hanging basket pots off your deck railing. They stay moist underneath when the sun comes out & will rot the wood. Learn from my mistake of leaving them on my railing over the winter months.
Thank God that garage was detached from the house.
How do you fight a fire with temps that low?
They do it just like they do when it is warm, they brought out the fire truck and two tanker trucks.
That’s cold, sorry for your neighbor and his loss of the garage I hope no classics were hurt in the filming of the video. I’m a car/garage guy and fire is the worst. I don’t have open flame heat in mine . It scares the crap out of me. I have electric heat in mine for that very reason.

I will take a Christmas tree and bowl of potato salad, from the previous video to go. Can you ship to Georgia? Haha... Man it is cold up there. Thanks for the video.
She makes awesome potato salad, it might be like cheating sending some away. I do not want to share. hahaha. Lol.
I cannot nor do I want to imagine what it would be like to go thru something like that. This an example of why I'm a proponent of detached garages that a person would heat with wood. Wow. It was down to -28 here on Wednesday with windchill of -57.
Where did you guys get the supplies
Which ones?
Going to get a grinder or make a drop hammer for converting the dry clay cutoffs back into dust for more slip later?
The ceramics look great.. Terrible to see that garage going up in flames and good thing it wasn’t very close to the house. Melissa, I’m trying to send ya some Heat from the South. We’ll be in the 70s 1st part of the week... Canada needs to keep that Jet Stream on their side of the Border 😆
We've had those cold temperatures in the last two weeks, coldest was -30 plus the wind-chill which was -55 plus
Oh no I didnt realize how close ypur neighbors were!! glad no one was hurt!
I liked seeing all the ceramics--pretty kewl! Pencil me in for a TENT MUG...
Nice ceramic's. I didn't know that's how you do that. This morning at my house it was -30 below and the wind chill was -45 yesterday it was -25 below and the wind chill was -55.

I am from Minnesota. Melissa moved up here from Louisiana last year. We still have the house in Louisiana for now.
Now that is what I've been waiting for. Great video of arts and crafts going on. That is what ya do during winter. I love that you and Melissa like to do these kinds of things together. Can't wait to see the next steps to the finished product. Nice array of subjects to work on. Will make great gifts for next Christmas. Thanks for Sharing. Shame about your neighbors loss. Those fire trucks must have a heater on them for that water not to freeze. I just don't understand why people live in places that cold. I'd die.
Joe are you OK? Noticed you were not using a fillet knife to cut that soap... ha ha
Melissa took out that big knife of hers and it actually worked very well.
Joe, how come you don't park the truck or tractor in the garage out by the fifth wheel?
probably very little the fire dept could do, life on the frozen tundra
What do you for heat when temps are like this .And how can you afford it.
The furnace heats the house just like any other day, you can not tell inside that it is that cold outside. The thermostat was set at 72 and the house stays at 72.
When is the winter tent trip?
Coming up soon, if I can get through all these comments (every time I finish them I click on the new ones and a whole new list pops up) I am going to pull the sled down and the snowshoes from above the workshop.
How do you heat the Farm House ?
We have a fuel oil furnace.
I’m in for 4 of the 18” Christmas trees!

Wow 😮 unreal !!
Use to help at a ceramic shop . With sticky molds she would use a small. Air compressor to dislodge the tough ones. So Joe can use his tools too. Lol

So sorry fo hear that about the fires.

I was so pouting until 1:23. lol Gimme my intro! Just about threw my whole day off.
If you ever need more elastic bands for the molds. An inexpensive way to do it is to cut inner tubes into whatever width you need.
