Nice job What are your plans to deal with high winds on these chicken tracors?

I wish I had your building skills Paul and your right kids do up fast enjoy every minute u can 🇳🇿🙏🏼

WE NEED PART 2 with more questions even if it’s on zoom please

These are the Taj Mahalh of chicken tractors. Love the use of aluminum. Run a metal rake over the ground when your done to pick up any metal scarp bits. Free ranch chickens like little shiny bits

Those look very good. I am assuming you will move them around the field. You will have some healthy and happy chickens.

Hello 👋 Paul and family, I think it’s a really cool story about the metal. I remember years ago, Joel Salatin talking about the difference between using aluminum and sheet metal for roofing on his chicken tractors. He stated that aluminum doesn’t collect and transfer heat like sheet metal does. I saw the completed chicken tractors behind you in the last video and it took me a little while to figure out what it was I was seeing. I really like your improvements on the chicken tractors, I was given two vevor metal frames that were for chicken coops. I rebuilt one into a pig palace and the other I’m going to use for my chicken house. I do have instagram, my question is do you have any intention of doing live streaming again? I really enjoyed the personal interaction. Congratulations on your progress and blessings to you and your family 👍💪🙌🙏🌈✌️🐽🐷🐖

Those tractors look great. Are you going to have layers as well as meat birds?

💚

Thanks for sharing

they look really good you are a jack of all trades love the video

They look great. You’ll have some happy chickens 🐓👍❤️

I am surprised by how big they are. I guess as long as you can move them. I really liked visiting a farm in CT that had sheep and chickens, so I could actually see and explain to my wife.

This was an amazing video. Thank you!

Thanks for the tour and explanation. Thinks look great!! I did not realize the end by the bathroom was intended to be an entry way. It will work for sure although I can't help but think that you may be wishing for a pony wall separating the entry from the living room - boots, coats, etc. A white wash pine would be nice to lighten up the space otherwise it may be a little heavy. I would caution against the rolling island being used as a table - I like the idea of the rolling top but I would suggest making it so it rolls into a section of the cupboard and becomes part of the cupboard at that time. Then have an actual sit down kitchen table that the family can sit around and with leafs for the table you have room for guests as well. A fixed eating table also works well for cutting up animals and such as well - then skip the rolling island all together (I like this option). We had a rolling table as you describe growing up that we ate at for years - hated every minute - no leg room, no elbow room, etc. Just my two cents worth. You are doing well!

I am a 70 uear old New Zealand woman who grew up with a wood and coal stove in our kitchen which heated a large cylinder of water, no electric stove or water heating! The stove ran all year round, banked at night and poked up in the morning and the dampers opened to heat the kettle for our first tea of the day. All food was cooked on the stove, preserves done in the oven. Our washing was done in a "copper" (which had a fire lit under and the washing pulled out and transferred with wooden tongs to the tubs of cold water, one with blue bags in the water to make things whiter. Then though the wringer (or mangle as some called them). Hard work I must say. Our eggs were preserved in ising glass. My light in the bedroom was a small brass based kerosene lamp with a small white shade. No power out to our farm. I can hear people saying how unsafe this was, but I knew not to touch it! So many things I took as normal are now considered historic. Thanks for this great store.

Maybe my favorite one!❤. Great job Amelia!

Love it - and do love seeing someone in the process! Also - Purdue girl here too … lived in Indiana my whole life❤! Boiler up!

Dude, are you slamming a brew while driving.😮

Well, everything is looking Super Duper. Thank you for sharing that video. Can’t wait till it’s done. I know you guys can’t wait it’s gonna look fantastic.❤

Scandinavian wooden houses are all boarded on inside and then painted - white or all sorts of off whites and grey, to get more light inside.

Great tour! Very well explained,thank you.

👍

Be strong be couragous

I'm from Indiana Carmel/Westfield area, worked there in Law enforcement for 20 yrs, ( Now living in Canada ) lol i'm a huge gardener - have a greenhouse, grow my own seedlings, and have 12 raides beds, and chickens !! Love watching yoU guys start over again in this place and time of your life !!

Love your openness, Your drive, and looking forward to the finished product. Understanding it's not a straight line.

Hello 👋 Paul, Olivia, and youngins, I have to say that the last house we rented had a carport with a roof over it that doubled as a patio off of the master bedroom. We’re glad at our age that we don’t have to go up and down stairs, but I sure do miss the elevated view of the cascade mountains and Mt. Hood on the eastern horizon. Please keep doing what you’re doing and keep the dream alive. You’re doing a great job of being a parent, husband, and friend. Blessings to you and your family 👍💪🙌🙏🌈✌️🐽🐷🐖

There is a poem I like, and one of the lines is "rest if you must, just don't quit". You can look up the rest of it. Best wishes to you and your family.

Just saw the chick brooder in the background! Ready in advance, wow!

You are officially moved when you have your freezers!

Go a little easy on yourself, you've come a long way and it's looking really good. Slowly it'll all get done, just keep going you're doing a great job.

Happy wife, happy life lol. Remember this is YOUR journey not ours. As sick, don’t let the naysayers occupy space in your vision. You and your family have a plan and have time to grow. Relax, enjoy your journey, and thank you for bringing us along. Love the mountains. Our son will start at Radford University in the fall and he is stoked about having me visit and go hiking with him. Be well your friends from Richmond, Va.

love the video its going to nice when you get it all done

Hello all ❤

Thank you for that update and I agree with you on the hold as soon as you just get overwhelmed we too have took all of January off on finishing my 1925 house work which is adding the new windows. We said we were gonna start in February, but we haven’t started yet with that cold snap that we had. Of course the bills went higher so I think on the After Valentine’s Day, I think I will start again that’s my plan so let’s see I haven’t purchased the windows or the number I need to purchase the number for sure because of what’s going on with the taxing of Canada and China and Mexico. I think we need to stock up on the lumber now before it goes to high. I think sometimes when you stop and start it’s a little harder to start back up but I’ll get back in that groove won’t be long six windows left to go and then the new door and I’m gonna take a break on everything else. I do need a new faucet which I purchased, but I gotta get put in. I’m gonna talk to my children today. They’re coming over to eat at mom’s house my house.

Really Paul??? It took you 10 years to figure that out??? 😂

Thanks for sharing

Excited to see your farm come together. I hope we get to see a lot of gardening videos. Chickens are fun to watch. Don’t like pigs but who cares 😁. Looking forward to all of it 👍❤️

Something to consider for the kitchen is to not have modern cabinets. Instead have freestanding cabinets like the vintage kitchen used to have. That way you can move things if you need to.

Sometimes we all need a break. Doing something different every so often helps to keep you from feeling fried. It's always the last 10% that seems to take forever.

Beautiful house 🇬🇧😊

I have heard that you're leasing the land you're on? How can you renovate the barn to make it your home if you don't own it?

Thanks for letting us know your downfalls. Keep plugging it will all work out in the end.

Gosh. Even the Raneys talk about having guinneys to thwart predators (Homestead Rescue).

Where in VA are you? I’m in southern Va

Awesome guy..doing great 👍🏻 one day at a time…Kathy 😊

You should consider making a fence jig for your saw. Basically a 2x2, 8' on one side, 2 feet on the left. Then you hse a block and a clamp (esp. a quick clamp like a vice) and clamp the nlock where the length you are cutting is. Works so much quicker than even what you are doing here, by using a template piece. Just screw it to the fence using rhe holes in it that arw acrually there for that purpose. Just a tip for anyone really that may not be familiar with the method.

What camera and mics do you use?
