Please be the DIY uncle some of us dont have access to!

[@aw4always]

Ditto to all the good things people have commented here. Mondays with Miah is a really good addition. TY!

[@McSnicker55]

Mondays with Miah - What a great idea to expand more into these areas! This is the meat and potatoes of property care. Love it! God Bless

[@American-OutdoorsNet]

I watched the first 3 minutes twice. That was a great segment and I think will be inspiring for a lot of newbies to hear you say simply, "When I started homesteading, I didn't know nuthin', now I know somthin and here it is."

[@MsMariaSierra]

You can’t imagine how timely your video is!!! We’re properly enclosing my vegetables because my chickens are having a daily buffet!! Thank you Miah - will look for all Mondays with Miah!! God bless.

[@kaylaburchard4231]

No rambling, not boring! Very easy info to understand and retain! Thank you!

[@Redbrick44]

Not Boring !!! Love the idea of your vlogs. You explain things well. Looking forward to more of your work. Thanks. PEACE

[@juneday1605]

I think I'm going to love Mondays with Mia. I learned a lot. Thank you.

[@christyjohnson6967]

Mondays with Miah. What a great idea! Praying for you and hope all is well.

[@LabMom-sg8ii]

Mondays with Miah is an AWESOME idea!!! Now maybe my husband will watch more :)

[@TerryeToombs]

My husband has been procrastinating putting up fencing around our new homestead. I'm making him sit down and watch this. Thank you!

[@Meg_Davis]

“…and if I’m editing, I’m sorry to myself.” This was a fantastic video and I don’t even plan on building fences anytime soon 😂👏🏻

[@lisacook7917]

Really love the new Monday with Miah. Very helpful for us newbies.

[@weirdheathersgarden]

I like the Monday’s with Miah idea. I didn’t grow up with a dad to teach me all the DIY kinda stuff, so this is a cool way to learn. 😊

[@johnhamilton9229]

I found this video in my save file. So happy I watched it. The time to edit this video was worth every second. Here’s hoping the first Christmas in your new home is filled with love, happiness and success.

[@kathymoore3967]

you are not boring at all, I learned so much from this video, yes my comment is at the three year mark i am watching from the beginning, keep up the good work miah, you are a hard worker like me. love love your channel.

[@cassidyschroeder9445]

The OG farm! Love this video, needed a refresher. Thank you Miah

[@lindaellin559]

Thank you!! I'm a 55yo single lady who started homesteading last year - I'm learning everything as I go from youtube. Didn't know the name of the pliers even - so thanks!

[@goldierox516]

You’re a very good teacher , Repetition , repetition ,repetition the mother of learning, keep up the teachings

[@abidingacreshomestead4925]

LOVE THIS! SO HELPFUL FOR A NEW HOMESTEADER! LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE OF THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS!

[@palecompass3598]

Perfect timing! This winter, we're replacing a fence that backs up to a park. We want it to appear open, but be secure and keep our animals in.

[@maryhert7518]

Love the idea of Monday with Miah! This was very informative and not at all boring. My husband is gone for a week and only home for a day or 2 and I love learning how to do these kinds of things myself so that his honey do list isn’t a mile long when he is home. Thank you Miah! God bless

[@breannawilson8651]

definitely not boring content :) It was actually perfect timing for me because I am putting up new fencing this weekend for my dog :) Thank you Miah!

[@RockingCHomestead]

Good idea and great content! Learned a trick or two and found a new tool for the tool box!

[@taraconroy6631]

Thank you Miah! I knew nothing about building fences but I'm using the winter to learn how to build deer fencing around a new garden space. I'm glad these older videos are still up 👍

[@dohnjoe706]

Oh stop apologizing, this was GREAT! More detailed videos would not bother me... As someone trying to learn, informative content like this is priceless. Thank you Miah.

[@JenniferG728]

Thanks Miah! Really looking forward to more Mondays with you. We learned a few tricks we didn't know and for that we thank you! I have no doubt it will come in handy with future projects.

[@contentedspirit9022]

Great content. I am a 60 y/o disabled female who is so very slowly creating garden beds and fences on my own. This information was invaluable. I did a tiny piece of a tpost fence and it was brutal. Thank you Miah. You're amazing and I love this new video idea to go alongside Jess teaching me how to grow food for me and my family. God bless you both and your beautiful family.

[@Freakontheway]

Thank you, Miah, for putting this up! As is said in other comments: great idea! And don't worry about rambling: you just put in a ton of information, and we can always come back to it to refresh our minds ;) Keep those videos coming! Blessings from The Netherlands

[@thedisneykid2884]

I love this Monday’s with Miah ideas. I can’t wait until next Monday. I learned so much from this one video.

[@Naturegirl55]

Awesome first run on Mondays w/ Miah! I learned SO much! Don't apologize you were great! God bless you (2)

[@antoninettealexander126]

Sing in the song of your people somewhere else, that's made me smile. Informative.i believe I am going to like Mondays with Miah.

[@denisebrady6858]

Miah this was great & very informative to beginners as it teaches & helps - please more of Monday with Miah !!!! Cheers Denise - Australia

[@judybelsome655]

Maybe you can show us what you are doing and then do a talk over. Thanks for all the info!!! I'm gonna love this "Monday's with Miah" series!!

[@wval4379]

Not boring, not rambly. Good info. Thanks!

[@jecriggs]

Miah, there was no rambling. at all. My hubby even came in to listen to you. Great informative how-to! Looking forward to more!

[@thedisneykid2884]

Jaye my hubby was already at work so I shared it with him. I am sure there a couple things he will love also. I mean if for no other reason. Now he has a reason buy more tools. Lol.

[@deekos]

I'm glad that Miah is sharing "How To's"! I was just telling my boyfriend a few months ago that it'd be cool if he made how to videos of him building stuff around your place. Good job Miah!

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

I may never build a fence but I found this fascinating. I grew up on a farm, never helped with fence building. I had no idea about most of the things you touched on. I have a new appreciation for the fences and their builders.

[@Littlehighwayhomestead]

Diggin' Mondays with Miah!! It was awesome, informative and NOT BORING. Just what I needed, actually! Thank you so much for all the excellent info. We're preparing to build a small chicken coop for the 4 hens we want, and we'll be needing fencing to keep them out of the garden. Whomever edited did a great job. You have a wonderful delivery, as you give relevant info in a concise, understandable format. Thanks again, kind sir! ✌❤🌱

[@tinacoppenbarger3412]

Loved Miah Monday. Thank you

[@maryannefolk1590]

So looking forward to Mondays with Miah!

[@mywonderfullife4491]

Oh man you have posted this at the perfect time! I can throw up a crap fence (i did for the chickens lol) but i need to do a new run and this was immensely helpful!

[@throughmykitchenwindow198]

Miah, What a great informative video. I had no idea you never done anything like this..it is like you were raised doing it all. Looking forward to more Mondays with Miah !

[@HelpASista]

Ok, this was awesome! For being absolutely a newbie at this homesteading thing this was great! Now I'm looking forward to Monday's with Miah. ~ Rena'

[@carolpourier732]

Well Done Miah!!!

[@serenitylory7320]

Thank you Mia, this saved me a ton of trouble today. We were able to splice a fence and tighten it up like pros. We learn so much from you and Jess. Thank you!

[@teresafreeman3635]

Loven Mondays with Miah!!

[@lindarinner9482]

Good job, I got several pieces of useful info from your video. Mondays with Miah is a great idea, I'm glad you're doing it.

[@heatherann1022]

Monday’s with Miah 👍🏻awesome idea

[@melissaspink8127]

VERY helpful video!! I'm looking forward to Mondays with Miah!!

[@SteppingBackInTimeKentucky]

fencing... one of the unsung heroes of the farm... especially with goats ;)

[@marilyngodfrey868]

Miah, I'm glad you are young and strong. T post drivers are heavy and difficult to use at my age, 75. You make it look so easy. Hopefully I will be able to use ours this winter.

[@Kimmies991]

Excellent information! Great job Miah, there are a lot of beginners who need this kind of information!!!

[@timehasbegun5828]

Miahs Crafty Mondays 😉 You did great

[@kathygoodwin8360]

Great information, no rambling, thanks, Miah!

[@a.reallymcrealperson256]

This is a great idea! I look forward to Mondays with Miah. Awesome

[@lovedbythebestful]

I never realized they had a tool for them t clips. I am definitely going to go out and get that. Thanks for the helpful tips

[@kayfrick7129]

I bought one with my clips but had no idea how to properly use it.

[@itsaudreybee]

This is so timely, I can't even tell you.

[@jaebee9308]

Great help and timely for my homestead adventure right now. Thanks Miah!

[@steveegbert7429]

Great idea Miah! I know you're at Baker Creek Expo today, I hope you and Jess are having a great time.

[@marybrown5904]

This wasn’t rambly. It was great and informative.

[@britanylenz4056]

So glad you told us about woven wire!! I’ve had welded wire in my shopping cart forever! Switching now! 🙌🏼

[@kayfrick7129]

Me too and just in time for a big fencing project this year.

[@aliceserna614]

Don't forget there is also a tool to help remove a t-post should it need to be moved. Kevin @ Living Traditions showed it when moving a fence, he said it was a great tool to have. I believe him as I had to dig one out. And it's under $50. Love the info.

[@debbieflores7256]

Miah the Handyman!!

[@jonpalmer2766]

Great video Miah. Thank you and God bless.

[@roxannabrollier6859]

Thanks for all the tips and tricks on fencing and advice on what tools make it easier to put up. Always learning here.

[@kristalmonteith9699]

Great info Miah! Stop apologizing, we are trying to learn here! Thanks so much :)

[@JB-pd4ni]

Blessings to Bentern. Interesting stuff today.

[@MicaBug]

I love this information! Not boring at all! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and personal experiences! So happy to know you're going to be doing this more regularly!

[@1982Alycia]

I really like the Monday's with Miah idea and I learned a lot about fencing today. My husband usually tackles these projects around our farm, but... I definitely could use one of those wire mending tools when using our scrap wire for small temporary trellises... So THANK YOU for the tip! I think you both do very well on your videos and editing and you needn't worry about whether or not you ramble on... It's all great info! If it wasn't I would have turned it off and moved on another... But, I stuck around for the whole thing! May the 2 of you and your sweet family always be encouraged and blessed the way you've blessed me, my family and so many others. Ya'll continue to be an inspiration every day! =D

[@lesleyharris3198]

Thanks for all the information, and lovely to see you again, looking forward to next Mondays episode

[@randydeshane9991]

I was raised on a farm when I was young, we didn’t have such devices. The pliers were the tool to have. Thanks great video.

[@texasoutlook60]

Miah you are a good teacher! I know nothing about fencing and I actually followed along! I'm gonna like this Mondays with Miah! Jessica do you loan him out? ha! Thanks y'all. I've already prayed for y'all comings and goings for the Cal trip so have a good one! ~Sidney

[@zsquire1]

Go Miah! That was awesome! I watched the whole thing in complete interest! You really did a great job. I could see and understand everything you said. You got right to the point and covered it all! Gr8 Job!

[@happyhoppershomestead8664]

You are very informative!! There are those of us who are just starting out that need to know these things. So thank you very much!!

[@jenniferprescott8655]

Oh yes, by the way? LOVE the pallets along the fence!

[@looperfamilyhomestead3586]

Me and my husband just put up our first barbed wire fence and it took us a long time for a small area but we learned a lot from what mistakes we made. We love videos that show beginners what to do.

[@veec3820]

Not boring!!! Very helpful! Thank you!!

[@trailrider2473]

Growing up on a farm, we used hog panels. They are just like cattle panels, except the bottom foot of paneling is tighter and is buried under the ground so the pigs can't burrow out. They are also sturdier than the welded wire fence that you use so the hogs can scratch themselves. Our current pig resident is secure with galvenized hog panels. He is around 750-800lbs. He rubs against it everyday and it is really secure. We bought ours at the local Ag store.

[@sylviafoust9545]

This is all good information to have. Mia is so smart.

[@jenniferprescott8655]

I thank you for this gift!

[@herecomesgranny]

Miah you are a natural! Great info, great job,

[@april-rosesender5141]

I know you thought this was too elementary, but I am just starting out, so it was enormously beneficial for me. Thank you

[@WillowWarty]

very informative especially after struggling with a lot of bad fencing projects lol

[@dezinicky9477]

Wow. Thank you Miah! I didn't even know they had some of those tools. Great video!!! I'm going to keep all these tips in mind when I have to do my fencing.

[@charliemaddox3226]

Great video. I would suggest one thing, especially for people that don't have some of the tools already. Look for "fencing pliers" next time you are in the farm or home store. That's all we used for fences growing up. It replaces all of your pliers and some of your twisting tools. Plus if you need to remove a staple that is in deep you can put the point in under the staple and drive the point under it with a hammer.

[@melissatomolonius472]

My mind is blown about the T post clips! What the Tractor Supply?!?!?! You owe me some dang clips!! Lol.

[@pineyhavenhomestead8947]

Thank you so very much for sharing this video. I have LOTS of fence replacing to do myself. You showed me lots of tools and tips I will be using, and buying. You all have a Very Blessed Week **HUGS & PRAYERS** from Kelly and critters at Piney Haven Homestead.

[@Extuberad]

Yeees Mondays with Miah, i'm excited! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@sweetearthfarm]

Very helpful. Thanks, Miah.

[@lisahopkins4225]

Your fence video was very informative to people doing it for the first time. The fence splicing tool needs to be in every farm toolbox. Thanks for the info.

[@SugarCreekCottage]

You did great Miah!

[@kayleastrain]

Very helpful video for this hopeful homesteader! Thank you for the tool info and the instruction

[@michellepernula872]

I learned so much Miah! Thank you so much!!! Awesome information!!!

[@danrhomberg1663]

Love this Idea(Mondays)...Will really up subscriber content....Great info Miah. God Bless the family.

[@janetyouker1080]

[@karincartwright8752]
