Cold Starting a diesel engine-is it too far gone?!?

What happens here

Stanley returns to the cabin, where several dogs greet him. He explains that the main goal of their trip is to deconstruct a boulder retaining wall on the exterior of the cabin, which contributed to water damage and dry rot in the structure. He shows the exterior of the cabin, noting previous roofline changes and the intention to 'rebuild' much of the cabin. Inside, he points out a steel beam that was previously part of the roof support and highlights another wall that requires rebuilding, emphasizing that 'everything comes out.' He reveals extensive dry rot in old header beams, calling the previous construction 'janky stuff.' They discuss the challenges of using a mini-loader to remove large boulders due to its size.

Goal: The video shifts to the ongoing cabin renovation, highlighting structural issues like dry rot and detailing plans for extensive interior and exterior rebuilding, including a boulder retaining wall.
