Building a small door awning for our tiny home

[@sharlynebeach2786]

I am sure your family enjoyed their visit with you. The fall colors looked beautiful. Thanks for showing us your first snow flakes. Enjoyed this video. You are both very talented women. I hope living off grid has been well worth it to you both.

[@HEYWANDERER]

I think they had a good time! Thanks for watching!

[@nancysmith4529]

You two ladies are amazing. Your property is really becoming very nice. I’m sure you enjoyed your grandparents visit. Fall brings new kind of challenges. I’m sure you’ll be well prepared for winter. I enjoyed watching you with your family. Your chicken coop is so cute. I love your wood stove. Oh that’s terrible about Monica. I can see how upsetting that was I’m sorry about Monica. You ladies have great problem solving skills. The awning is an example of that. Take care and blessings to you.

Your home is really coming together! That hawk will come back every day or 2 ! String aluminum pans up and and anything reflects light. Also put a radio in or around your coop! It will help! I haven't lost any chickens since did the radio. I was losing to racoons. Hawks . possums! Good luck protecting your flock!

[@nooncactus]

I’m sorry about Monica too. You do have beautiful fall colors to cheer you up. They perked me up. Wonderful that your grandparents came for a visit. Nothing like guests to motivate your work pace to get things done. That always motivates me. 🌸❤️🌸

[@monalingan9523]

I am so sorry that you lost Monica. There is a netting that you can put up over the chicken yard. Almost like a circus tent and that it has a pole in the center, and then the netting drapes over the sides of the fencing.

[@jenniferhoaglin566]

Just a Suggestion to help Ladies. Heat Tape for the pipes will work great if you have any issues with freezing. Everything is looking really nice! Great Job!💜

[@donb6474]

Love the colors of the trees.

[@HEYWANDERER]

It’s a very beautiful time of year here!

[@jenniferhoaglin566]

Awww...Bless their Hearts Directing & Filming.💙💙

[@micheleroberts908]

I hope the chickens have a regular building to go into other than the coops with wheels. I am not too far from Tennessee and our chickens would freeze if we didn't have shelter for them and a bunch of straw. If the flooring for them is dirt the other animals will dig in there and kill them. It happened to our chickens, so we put fencing down first, then boards and straw. When it got dark they would head to their house and we would shut the door at night.

[@HEYWANDERER]

That chicken tractor was for our meat chickens who have since been butchered. Our egg laying chickens have a regular coop that is nice and secure.

[@chall1232]

Looks good. The awning gives it a little xtra cuteness

[@HEYWANDERER]

Thanks! I think so too!

[@kathrynmauro8673]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Another channel that I watch has put bird netting over the top. Anthony is pretty tall, and he can easily stand up in the chicken coop/run area. It's actually quite large. I hope this helps, and once again, I'm sorry for your loss 💔.

[@SimpleLifePortugal]

Ho girls what a joy to find your channel

[@annebenedict5041]

I really love what y’all are doing! Y’all are amazing! Hard workers- determined! You mentioned adding another room so y’all can have your own rooms. Are y’all going to get a small shed to build onto the shed or get another shed the same size to make another bedroom and a 1/2 bath. And maybe the living area could be bigger. Do y’all work during the week? Living off of savings? I have not seen all the videos, so I apologize if you already mentioned this. If y’all build a B&B or maybe tiny homes B&B, I will bring friends and spend the night or nights!!!!! God bless y’all!

[@conniepatton2155]

Between the difficult times and the best of days it’s a great progression. Sorry about Monica. Tennessee is beautiful. So glad you enjoyed your family. Always take time for family & friends. ❤

[@FarmerC.J.]

Lookin’ good! Sorry for your loss. Caution! Hawks can carry little dogs and cats away…stay safe!

[@sylviajones4907]

I know you enjoyed y'all's company. Great job on preparation. Beautiful scenery. So sorry about Monica. Very sad especially after nursing her when she was just a chick. Hope the puppy's eye gets better. You girls are a joy to watch. Always busy. Have a great week!

[@HEYWANDERER]

Thank you, Sylvia!

[@patdavis8018]

There's a netting that you can get to put over the whole chicken area.

[@patriciaskubish6144]

Things are improving at your little place.Good job ladies

[@kaycook1819]

I’m so sorry about your chicken. Inexpensive netting over the top of the chicken’s open area would keep the hawks out.

[@brandimagana8166]

Agreed we put netting up on our chicken run due to hawk attack attempts. We also put up reflectors and an owl decoy and we not had issues since. If you use an owl decoy make sure to move it often.

[@suzyhayden8643]

In watching your wood burning stove and the smoke coming from it I would highly recommend watching some videos on type of wood,you burn, testing the moisture count in the wood, etc.. In the newer wood stoves there should be very little smoke, if any. If there is too much moisture in the wood and it is burned it will create creosote in the chimney which if not cleaned out can lead to fires... definitely a major hazard for you all.....If you need to burn woo high of moisture content this season just be very aware that you will have to clean everything out before using next season..... just watch it carefully.

[@HEYWANDERER]

This was when we first lit the fire and the stove isn’t hot enough which is why there is a lot of smoke. It’s very normal to have smoke when you first start a fire and the stove is cold. When the fire gets to the right temperature there is no smoke. We use hardwoods and dry wood only.

[@suzyhayden8643]

@@HEYWANDERER That is great... I was just worried for you both.. I am a grandmother.. so.....

[@lfuentes4098]

Will you be putting up gutters to catch the rainwater?

[@annmarieinthehouse]

On my way to watch this episode! 🙌🏻

[@HEYWANDERER]

We are so glad you are here!

[@bethhardin8795]

Using metal for a roof is good, except when it hails or pours rain. I guage the rain severity by the noise pounding on the roof. Not a bad thing, just an alert of it raining. I have a metal roof right under a bedroom window and I know it's raining when I hear the pinging on the roof.

[@HEYWANDERER]

When we first got our shed the rain was SO loud on the roof. Now that everything is insulated you really can’t hear it as much.

[@rosegarcia5069]

Nothing like having Family over...sorry about your chicken...love those curtain they look so nice .

[@marsha.m6357]

Looks great!! Can you share the brand of Polyurethane you used on your countertops. So sorry about your chicken 🤗

[@HEYWANDERER]

We used the Varathane brand water based polyurethane. I believe in satin or matte… can’t remember that part.

[@marsha.m6357]

@@HEYWANDERER Thank you so much:) Love your channel and your tenacity, you ladies ROCK!!

[@zoekatz6216]

Lucky you having grandparents visit! What a time to lose a chicken. Hawks are migrating through now so lots of hawk incidents. That does not make it any easier.

[@ginettelefebvre8817]

Hi... just loved a your video. Your life and all that you do... you both have come à long way and it shows that nothing gets in your way. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. I'm sure your patents and grand-parents are very proud of you both. I also wanted to say I love your choice of music. So serene. Take csre . Hugs.... so sorry to here about your chicken.

[@HEYWANDERER]

Thank you for all the compliments!

[@rosegarcia5069]

Will you be having the copper kettles in stainless steel??

[@HEYWANDERER]

Hey Rose! The copper kettle we have listed is vintage and we will be listing a variety of different vintage items. Maybe one day we’ll have a stainless steel kettle.

[@Jaxismom]

It's very sad about the chicken u need to be careful with the dogs and you need to make sure you don't leave them out when you're not home as you now have a hawk because that hawk is going to come back again

[@jillianhewitt3546]

so fun to see y’all’s updates !! putting that awning up was impressive 👊🏼

[@HEYWANDERER]

Aww thanks!! It was kind of shocking how smoothly it went lol

[@ShannonLivesey]

Going to go check out your etsy shop now

[@debibarrington4697]

Do you have a video of making the stock pool tank?

[@HEYWANDERER]

Yes! We have a few in the archives but we did two videos in the summer about our new one!

Hi Savannah, What is the tree behind you in the beginning of the video?

[@HEYWANDERER]

It’s a Satsuma tangerine tree

[@pman2916]

Always amazed by you guys!

[@seeleygirl6178]

What happens to all your garbage? Does a truck come to pick It up?

[@HEYWANDERER]

We take it to the dump. I wish we had trash collection out here.
