1940 Meadows Grist Mill UPDATE Update

[@hillsmillhomestead]

There is some wonderful history about the Meadows Mill Company and we have loved reading their stories from the early 1900s as written in a book that our local Millwright shared with us. We, too, were SO disappointed to hear that there was a possibility that a company that has been around over a century might be going downhill. Thanks for restoring our faith in the Meadows Mill Company.

Glad Meadows explained that not all of these were made the same, and that the parts need to be tweaked. Hope you are able to make it all work. May God bless you and Wanda, and may He continue to bless the work of y'alls hands.😊

[@sandilacy9498]

So happy that all will work out in your favor, I can’t wait to see the mill working!

[@vickisavage8929]

How fast they move in a pinch depends on how hard you pinch. They got PINCHED. Attitude adjustment…

[@MTknitter22]

Exactly right. You have a platform and they know it. I am not surprised they are MOVING to make things right, Danny.

[@hillsmillhomestead]

I used to pinch my kids in church when they were acting up. IT WORKS!

[@vickisavage8929]

@@hillsmillhomestead I was on the receiving end myself, so I KNOW that, properly applied, it’s a most effective and discrete clue stick.

[@DeborahBrown-tj7wx]

Great news! If anyone can make it work, you can!

[@lisaemerson8061]

i am so glad you got to talk to who you needed to and that he was so nice and so helpful. gives ya just a little bit of hope in folks don't it? needed that little bit of hope in folks today. i am so happy for you .

[@emeraldwaterlifehomestead2180]

You have devoted fans. 😊. So glad you received some satisfaction. How nice.

[@honeycakes1693]

Happy for you. There are some good people out there!

[@bl8680]

I'm so glad this company is doing whats right in this transaction; which is rare in today's world. I have every confidence in your abilities to get this mill up and running Danny!

[@Lauralamontanaro]

Thank you for the update! So happy to hear!

[@lorenstribling6096]

Your viewers love and respect you. This is a community where people take care of each other and learn from each other. You have helped so many with your knowledge. Once upon a time you could look to the people down the road for help. Now you have to find your "neighbors" online.

[@nancytharp8213]

So glad you were able to work things out. Prepping for tropical storm over Florida. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝

[@ronaldhagen4890]

SO GLAD EVERYTHING IS WORKING OUT.THUMBS UP.

[@ronevans852]

Very good you guys have it worked out.

[@mattjenkins301]

Can't wait to see it grind

[@denniscleveland669]

The old mills were probably built like the old muskets. No two were identical, whereas parts are interchangeable.

[@tracyflenner]

I’m glad you got things worked out and will be able to use the mill. I’m looking forward to the video you do on it.

[@carolcassidy7700]

So glad everything worked out for you.

[@stephaniebryant2958]

Pleased to hear that the issues was resolved 😊

[@dawnwilkinson3500]

Danny, I cant wait to see it running! I have Faith in You! God Bless!

[@yankeeredneck6017]

Glad to hear it worked out for you Danny!

[@2townsdown208]

Great news! Can’t wait to see a video when it’s working and grinding! God bless!

[@psalms125selah]

Thank you Jesus! I'm glad to hear your good news!

[@SG-vu4qy]

great news! So glad they are working with you. I am looking forward to your progress. maybe they can help me rebuild my old american flour mill.

[@lr8868]

We got your back chief...we can apply more pressure or less.... your call 😊

[@melissavisconti89]

Can't wait to see it up and running good luck hope all goes well from this point forward

[@mycrookedlittlehomestead8363]

I am so glad things are going to work out for you Danny I was even looking and asking for parts here in Ontario

[@trishaporte]

Danny this is wonderful news! Knowledge is power!! Good to have talked to Mr. Roberts and given this information so you can now tweak the parts to fit. I was extremely concerned that something would break while you were tweaking those parts and not be able to return them. Meadows is much better than the new equipment!! The new stuff costs an arm and leg and then you can’t work on it! I’ll look forward to watching you work on it to get it running!!

[@davidward1259]

In the modern mass produced world, we are so used to a part being drop in and exactly like what it replaced thanks to modern production methods. It's no wonder that a 1940's product requires some "hand fitting" as that's the way they made them back then. Glad to see Meadows willing to go the extra mile and help you with the hand fitting process and any question you had. The other good thing of 1940's tech is it will last virtually forever if taken care of (and we all know you will do that!)

[@weathermanplus]

Heeey I hope my advice helped :)

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Always brother now if we could just get some relief from this heat. Today is 98 days in a row above 100 degrees heat index with little rain.

[@SimplyBackwoods]

It's wonderful they are working with you to get your mill up and running and that they explained you have to tweak some things. They are very willing to work with you and this is such good news. Thank you for the update. This is encouraging and look forward to following your journey in getting the mill up and running a step at a time. Many blessings to you and Wanda.

[@sophiabultena6781]

Glad it's all sorted and being made right ❤

[@cindyhart3351]

I am so glad you got the right help.

[@TheCajunHomestead]

Awesome Danny, I watched your first video. I hope to order my parts that are missing on my Meadows this winter. This information made my future Restoration way more interesting. I just spoke to Meadows Mill I am looking for the plans and measurements for a 20” Meadows Mill, they couldn’t help me.

[@flintmcrock636]

I can’t wait to see the mill in operation🌽

[@bobhutto1624]

Glad your getting the mill squared away.....cant wait till you get to grind some corn

[@sharonmckee2403]

Sounds like a good company. They must be busy!

[@JustCookIt813]

So happy you were able to get someone to work with you. I didn't call, but prayed you got answers. Praise God, Thank you Jesus. And thanks to Meadow Mills!

[@kelleystokes622]

Your humility and hard work are inspirational. Thank y’all for being educational and faithful to God!

[@agapefield]

We don't like anybody not treating you right!

[@jennbama]

I'm glad it all worked out. I'm sure your fans only meant well for you and not to harm the situation. Have a great evening

[@denniscleveland669]

Drilling a hole in that piece, will change the throw, so you’ll have to take that into consideration.

[@franpaterno486]

❤❤ you and Wanda I’ve earned so much from both of y’all. 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏. God is Good all the time

[@wildturkey8752]

This is great to hear.

[@texaschopper3091]

Shalom.

[@jackjohnson291]

As long as you’re getting what you ordered and payed for, then it’s all gravy. I hope to see her up and running for ya’! I really wish I had one of my own. There’s an old stone mill right down the road who’s owner I need to speak with about sometime.

[@monkeyfoodgarden]

Very happy that y'all finally at least have the parts you were waiting for. Never had the chance to see the first video but I'm sure the folks at Meadows were a bit taken aback by everyone contacting them. So what does Ms Wanda think about losing her she shed to the mill now instead of the cub?😂. Wishing all y'all a blessed day.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

She's patiently waiting.

[@ramonahierholzer3163]

Danny, I thought you and your FARMALL. On the Appalachian Channel, John interviewed an 88 year old living in one of the Kinkaid houses in Appalachia...she has a Farmall in a barn that hasn't been moved in 70 years!

Good news

[@debbyatwell7851]

good afternoon

[@beverlymichael5830]

The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Had you not put up that video and even your views looking out for you they may not have moved so fast. You had been trying to talk to them before and you never got calls back. So I think this lit a fire under them They could have explained that earlier when you ordered the parts. Glad it all worked out and I think they will now take care of you.

[@Rosethatwantstomove]

Sometimes we need to put pressure on people or the government even

Good for you!!😅😅

[@PepperplacewithShawna]

Go Danny!❤

[@Steve_Chancellor]

Danny, off the subject, but do you ever use a middle buster to dig sweet potatoes?

[@joelhenderson5404]

Danny those grommets are made out of bake o lite and they will grind okay!

[@jet4415]

Come on! Get a cell phone signal booster upgrade! I see people use them in the middle of nowhere out west.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We tried several none of them worked. The phone company said they couldn't help us where we live.

[@johnhugon8305]

Do you know that the Cub PTO turns at engine RPM?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes

[@abcxyz-io7wt]

💝👍😁💝

[@jimshiverdecker3404]

Maybe you should try a little of Christian forgiveness and humility and call Medcalf Mills he can help you. None of us are perfect. I have been watching you and Medcalf Mills for a long time and if anyone is humble Justin is. He has his flaws, but he is a kind man and has a gentile soul. In these times we need each other.
