@@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors Thanks. I appreciate that I'm not the only one. Those pigs always keep me on my toes.

@@stephenhines2795 Thanks!

I did end up having to carry the little one. The camera was not on when I finally got him close enough to grab. Henry has been good now that we got him moved.

They have named some chickens, but we have not named the little pigs. Also, you are welcome. I'm glad you enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing! I am familiar with some of these, but not all. I will go check them out.

@@monaorange4485 you are very welcome!

@@jackonthefarm5540 you are correct. I was in too much of a hurry when updating it. Thank you.

Thanks for the concern but after everything that happened in East TN and North Carolina, I have nothing at all to complain about. I am a Tennessee native. Grew up about 30 minutes from where we are now.

Unfortunately, I don't have plans for these coops. I did however make a video reviewing the construction and giving some basic measurements for it that could be helpful. I can make a more current video about that when I get a chance if you would like.

This is very true, and something I have been slowly picking up the pieces on. Finding and building those communities can be a real challenge.

The majority of homesteads are under 50acres,often 10 or less.

@@EmbracethechaosPortugal and what makes them different than just a home.

@victorhopper6774 most homes don't have space for some livestock,or larger food growing spaces,also less restrictions on what you are allowed to do I guess.

Thanks!

Very true! I am hopeful that there are still a generation of farmers in my generation and the next that wish to take on the challenge.

This is true. I am glad that my children's school actually recently added an AG program.

Thanks for the ideas. I still have some thinking to do on this one. But it won't happen over night either way. I have time still.

@@jtoot6391 Thanks! I appreciate the support!

Thank you for sharing!

@@grstew4 We are north. Cross Plains.

@@honeyrockacres How about that! We are neighbors! I'll be over in the morning for breakfast!

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate the feedback.

Thanks! He loves joining me for the chores. That hair of his is as bright as it gets. We do sometimes get a group of humming birds. Seems like they come more when it cools off a bit.

It's so easy to get caught up in the routine and all the stuff you know has to be done. I find myself always stressed or thinking about what I still need to get done. I try to remind myself to slow down sometimes and actually enjoy the routines.

You are welcome! I would say it has done pretty good. We get 90-100 temps frequently here as well. I keep the doors open on the hottest days and between that, the fan, and the 50% shade cloth, it manages to keep the temps within 10 degrees of the outside temp. If I leave the doors closed, it gets very warm still. Ideally, I would have put the fan up higher, and maybe get a larger fan, but that is what the budget could afford. Overall, I am very happy with how it does. I grew gigantic tomato plants and peppers in there this summer. Summary of my experience... Get the largest fan you can fit/afford, make sure you have good airflow either with vents down low or with open windows/doors, and don't be afraid to add a shade cloth through the hottest part of the year.

@@honeyrockacres Thank you for your reply. On the 10 degrees, is that usually 10 degrees hotter or lower? thanks again!

@@AquarelleArtist No problem. It's usually about 10 over the outside temp.

@@honeyrockacres Please accept my apologies for asking such a stoopid question! It hit me in the middle of the night. Of course it is over...it's a fan, not an air conditioner! (sheesh, I feel dumb!) However, along that line of thought, there is a commercial greenhouse near me that has a 'swamp cooler'. I've always heard that they only work in dry climates, but I can't imagine these farmers spending on something that would be useless. They don't sell to the public and I've never stopped there, but I may do so if I happen to see them there. Again, thanks for all your help.

@@AquarelleArtist No worries at all. I've done the same. Haha. I have seen those swamp coolers. They are pretty cool. We had one in our greenhouse in high school. There is another name for those that I can't think of.

Hey! Good afternoon to you too! Thanks. I mostly love them. Just wish they were just a touch taller inside for the roosts.

This is great information. For reference, the computer I am working on in this video is a 2020 model.

You are welcome! I am very glad you found it helpful.

Unfortunately I don't. I have gone back through my conversation with support and I even pulled them back out and I don't have record of the numbers. When replacing mine, I was working with tech support and they had them identified as "CPU Fan" and "GPU Fan". In my case, I just ended up having support mail them as a warranty replacement, so I never identified the part numbers. Even without warranty, you might be able to get their tech support to provide them.

@@honeyrockacres No worries. I called Dell and found the part number for my Precision 5540. They noted that the parts may be different from different 5540's but these are the numbers for my 5540, which is around 3/4 years old. Part numbers are: Precision 5540 (2021) Left Side Fan F01PX

Ehhh. That sounds awful. We had a feels like of 107 a few days ago, but we don't get over 100 very often here.

@@honeyrockacres this year not as bad as last year

I pray your wife improves. I am glad you were able to check in.

@@LinksviewAcresVlogs No problem! It took me a bit to figure out how to make things smoother. I'm still looking for ways to optimize it. Good luck with yours!
