It’s always a treat to see all the animals, you guys, and your beautiful homestead. That barn is going to be huge when it’s done! I also bet the chickens will appreciate more space once the goats get moved! Love you guys! 😊❤

It needs some cross braces.

Get better katie

Great idea w old saw mill

what no pump jacks

Hello Katie and Greg. There is nothing wrong with using what you have. I learned that in Boy Scouts 47 - 53 years ago. It shows that you are smarter. All of the concrete and rebar you two picked up looked like it made it into the holes for the footers with perhaps nothing to bury later. The concrete tubes here are around $18, so there is another few bags of concrete that can be said cost you nothing extra. Great job. Have good days! (I liked the idea about Milanote, I just don't have a project to use it on.)

Do you have to notify anyone when you burn brush?

HE really does not want to finish the siding

repurpose is a better term for making forms with used or old ply or osb good on you

I see where BC is burning again...stay safe please

In my part of Missouri, that style is called a mule barn. No, I don't know why, but Missouri is known for its mules (headiness, I guess too). Good idea, you cannot have too many buildings. They will all fill up no matter what you do.

I love your videos. I am especially pleased that you don’t spout religious bs as part of who you are. As a fellow Canadian you make me proud.

DOYOU EVER READ YOUR COMMENTS???? Please contact Ambition Strikes. They might have a soluition to help you out with your water problem you encounter in the winter and summer.I have been watching your channel since way back when you both lived in the bus. Thank you

this was such an amazing, feel-good episode ☺

Sure hope that you guys are not close to the wild fires

Feel Better Katie

If you get some hardware cloth and staple a few inches to the building, and have it bend below ground level and out from the building about 1-2 feet; animals will not know to dig away from the building to get access. They always dig close to the structure that want to get into. If the hardware cloth is a couple of inches underground, you wont catch it with a mower, and plants will have no issue growing on top of it.

Love your content. You guys are so talented and energetic. Keep cracking y’all.

Well this is exciting, the clean up before the barn build can't wait your off to a great start. Nice to hear that your goats will give birth soon how wonderful . lmao Greg running around with Nibs too funny.looking forward to your next step.

Right on.. looking sweet

I've been using a bucket system for 5 years now. I hated using drinking water to flush my crap. It is so wasteful. I let my compost cook for 1 year and then use it around my trees. I will never go back to flush toilet. "Society" is so wasteful!!! I use a separate bucket for urine and dump it daily on my compost pile which, like you said, put nitrogen back into the compost. I tried urine and poo in the same bucket. It wasn't bad but the buckets fill very quickly with urine and are very heavy to carry and dump. Thanks for your honesty.

😇👍👍👍👍👍🙏

Best smile on the internet.

I AMEXSTREAMLY EXCITED FOR YAS LOVEWATCHINGYOU BUILD DOINGA FANTASTICJOB

Guys cheap is being resourceful, recycle reuse!

I agree with the "being cheap" comment. We live in a society where everything is replaceable instead of reusable. It's "not okay" to not go out and buy new shiny things. People are judged by what they have rather than who they are. I use what I have and I'm proud of it. Do I wish they were nice new shiny things, sure I do but it's not a requirement as a lot of people make it out to be. And it really makes new homesteaders struggle. My chicken coops have all been reused products. A dilapidated shed and now a 1984 30ft camper we started our journey in. My barn is being made from an early 1900's house. The metal I'm using to cover it is coming from a mobile home on the property I'm tearing down. I'm also using what materials I can for the mobile home to fix our house. Nothing wrong with it at all. I live that you use the resources available to you. Id live to save money by milling my own lumber. Its just not available to me. Just think if it like your dozer project. As long as someiis done right it doesn't matter what is used to get it done.

A better word than cheap, Resourceful!

My favorite channel to watch, love ❤️ you guys, especially beautiful Katie. ❤

The barn addition project is off to a great start. Take a couple of hours and make a very sturdy work table that you can mount your planer and tablesaw and chop saw to. Make it so you can move it with your tractor and make it with a base that won’t tip over or move when pushing items through the saw. Add on multi plug in points, does not have to be fancy, just practical. Screw down the table saw to the bench. Table saw top should sit at 36 inches, add some hooks for extension cords, air compressor lines to hang on. Use wood for the top as it’s not too slippery. Also make a work platform 4x8 that is skid like that you can pick up with your tractor forks and can work off of at heights. If you’re working by yourself use a ladder to access it after setting at the right height by the tractor. These ideas just make working just so much easier.

I have always looked at things as "need" vs. "want". I guess that is the same as being frugal/cheap, which I consider to be a good trait. Guess that is why I am financially comfortable in retirement.

cut lower Lages off on it.

Built my storage sheds x 3 out everything reclaimed/recycled from others disposal piles. They're nothing special, but they work, and i learnt a bunch. Other than screws, nuts, and bolts, it cost me nothing.

I had a good chuckle when I saw Greg putting a block under the broken table leg. Here in South Africa in that instance we say,( "die Boer Mask ń plan" one of our 11 official languages- Afrikaans) Translation "The Farmer makes a plan!!" I was a farmer's daughter and we used to use what we had etc. nowadays it's chuck it out and buy a new one, it drives me crazy 😧 keep doing what suits you best... Then when you really need something great you can splash out 😉 I think I'm preaching to the converted! Have fun life is too short 😂

( same ) that was pretty slick Greg. 😂

Not cheap, frugal is my word...it allows you to do much more for much less, and frees up resources needed elsewhere.

"Frugality is founded on the principal that all riches have limits". - Edmund Burke and from one of our founders of the US ... "A penny saved is a penny earned." - Benjamin Franklin ... Personally, If I see a penny, nickel, dime, quarter laying on the ground, I pick it up. I can wash it if it's gross. I found a penny one time on a step, it was an 1844 Large Cent piece. How many passed it and just left it there, I still have it to this day. It's only worth about $45 or so in it's condition. But a simple penny on the ground, that most will pass by, I see it as 1% interest paid on a dollar, that only took me to bend and pick it up, and since I had no dollar at risk, it's nothing but profit. So it all just depends on how you view things.

Okay been watching your video off and on all day been a long day for me in the garden that video I sent you got in the house at 10:30 pm it is now 11:30 PM going to bed trying to sleep laying in bed watching your video take care be safe as always please please watch out for the wildfires

Greg I know it's spelled wrong that's because I'm using the voice thing I have an older cement mixer than that way better as a flat tire and it has a metal cover over the electric motor probably uses more electricity and if you ever around in Courtney and you want another cement mixer drop by you can have it I will never report any more cement and I just will mix it up in a wheelbarrow the old way that's meant mixing of Mine was my dad's and we used it to do a 175 feet of driveway two cars wide 4 of us hard work back in the day when there was a big iwa strike and it was dad used the money from my Jeep He one From Campbell River they took his picture put it in the paper with a top of the line Jeep and gave him a rag top jeep worth $10,000 what a joke false advertisement big time

Looking good. You two are a awesome team😊

And yes your channel is the only channel that I watch all the commercials hopefully you'll make a little bit of money off of me and I can't afford to subscribe your paid part there's a couple other channels that are low on views that I watched commercials to help hold a little bit and I shaved off most of my beard didn't like the dry skin dandruff from a beard even after use beard oil not for me bad enough you got to shave your head covered in lotion keep it in moist don't let that old man dandruff

Last night was may 10th 2024 there was an explosion I think my neighbor alongside the highway left his tagger towards going and blew a propane bottle apart all the way across the highway at 11:00 PM slowing down all over the highway on the opposite side of the highway so it must have flew right across the highway I could hear his mum on my cameras yelling are you okay are you okay and I can hear his dad grumpy yelling something couldn't make it out I could see the cars on my cameras later on I could see his whole family walk out to the highway the weirdest thing was there was no sirens but there was a white flashing light on the trees there was a hit and run man ended up dying on Mallard Rd area by the park by me I live by Walmart in the park today there was sirens fire trucks going constantly down the highway they have so many fires here now sooner or later the park is going to be on fire especially when all the homeless living the bush the light fires yeah I know I'm putting sprinklers in my roof and I water down the whole parkside of my house every night have the homes running tonight going to be running all night just got to find some cheap garden hoses to interlock all the sprinklers I'm putting on the roof so if a fire comes what's I got to do is turn on the handle tab handle and it turns all the sprinklers on and I might even turn put it on a timer so at night get waters down my roof and we'll keep the host nice and cool we're still lucky water is free shish don't tell anybody

Glad to see you guys building again and I look forward to this one

Nice trolling Katie. Lol. That old saw shed looks pretty well built.

Frugality = freedom. Our culture sees it completely backwards: frugal = deprivation. When you consider the cost of debt or needless spending on your mental well-being and closing off future opportunities (and future security), celebrating a lifestyle of simplicity and creatively not spending needless money is so wise. Good for you. In the end, it's not how much money you make, but how much you spend. By carefully managing the small expenses, you'll we so much more free in the long-term.

hey I know this, things are so over price these days so you have to cut coners and do what with what have to get the job done so I am all about it

You will never keep rats out impossible you can try your best but you're never going to get it rats to stop getting in they will chew through a solid 2 by 4 in one night trust me years ago in my girl's bedroom I kept teasing them if you don't clean up your room you're going to get rats well I didn't really expect them to get rats but I heard a bang inside my wall so I went into their bedroom sure enough underneath all their dressers there was holes in Jip Rockwall that they came up from the crawl space they got in there because I cut a square hole where I put my outside tap in the attic where they got in they chewed holes down through the walls what electrical wires went a lot of the wires in my walls don't work anymore because of the rats until I started using white cheap silicone to stop them because I learned at Courtney Carr Center we had to wrap proof the trailers and turn out all the installations out of the rvs because they were full of rats one time I was pulling a trailer over from behind George's food water and I looked in the mirror and watched a rat fall out of the trailer and run back over to George's he does have the best burgers well now that his son runs it he still got excellent burgers because it was his son that did all the burgers anyway in the end is George always was in the back doing all the prep work and his mom still working in there with him and she used to do all the Chinese food everybody in the family had their own position they would hire part time work but they only paid minimum wage like Robert did a quarter car center and as you know they only take cash I wonder why geez do they pay taxes on it I hope not someone's got to screw in the government out of their money take care girl love your videos always best videos out there❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
