Cutting out the last Window in the Log Cabin.

[@bradleyschneider3871]

Your pig is huge ...you might have to build a step stool for the wife so she can collect the eggs better I am so happy your back!!

[@jf8947]

Love your videos. Wish they were longer!!!! Could watch them all day. Cabin is really looking nice. Great job.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thanks 👍

[@serzhdyubro8083]

As for my opinion, your chainsaw skill are very good, in the other case you would'n built such amazing log home. Thanks for the video.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you very much!

[@dianecharles881]

Amazing how much light comes in, after the window cut out, glad to see your wife is enjoying the life as well!!

[@maggiesue4825]

It's got to be nice having a comrade in arms to help you in so many ways, not excluding camera-work and someone who loves you!!

[@lindacole1653]

Stephen & April, so glad that is the last window to be cut. This is so stressful for me. Looking forward to what is to come. Your “mansion on the hill” is getting more beautiful everyday. Prayers for your continued healing Stephen. 🤗♥️🙏🏻

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you so much

[@robinmoore5181]

We just watched your last few videos, so congratulations on the wedding and welcome April.🌷

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you so much!!

[@nightsong28540]

I remember cutting out for doors and windows, scary prospect but it works out...so glad you've got them cut out and move forward. Stay safe, be careful, take it easy and keep warm and dry.

[@jeanburgin160]

Oh look at the hen and baby chicks!!! So pretty. That was most interesting seeing you cut out the window! Thank you for sharing.

[@bettinah.7429]

It is really fun to see how each project she’s and changes the feel of the cabin.

[@armidaperez5360]

Soon you'll be in that place with a huge fire keeping warm & dry. Glad your back..

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

I hope so

[@pamkaufman3662]

I'm sure April helps out a lot behind the scenes but it was nice seeing her in the video. You two make a cute couple.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Yes! Thank you!

[@mistyanderson3740]

I am so happy that you now have someone to enjoy this with you!

[@gregganderson1454]

Looking good. That hog is getting big!

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

yes she is. She is about to head off to freezer camp with Mary Ann

[@chaunceypullman3380]

All is coming along nicely. Can't wait to see the finished cabin. And to see the 1st Christmas decorations go up. Love that iconic American look for the holidays. I would be keeping those cut off logs to use as family dinning table. Big and beefy to holdup the biggest table.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

April is wanting to decorate the outside of the cabin this year..lol

[@Robsin5]

Wow great video fantastic filming there April didn’t know you were a professional camera operator ❤️

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Nice video showing nature, the critters, the construction and hearing protection. Well, three out of four ain't bad. :-)

[@karenedge7039]

I love it ! You guys are going to have a beautiful home. Can’t wait for the next phase.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you so much!!

[@suejackson1731]

Good to see you both working together, and yes April needs a stool to collet the eggs. Have a nice day and stay safe.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thanks, you too!

[@marthapettengill4042]

You know the sawdust you keep can be put in your trench to put your water lines to keep your pipes from freezing, we did that when we put our. Well in and never did have any freezing problems

[@ericjohnson1008]

Guess y'all are moving in next week. Man y'all are rocking it.

[@pwengert1]

Nice window addition! Things are looking great!

[@johndudley5987]

Looking better each video 👍

[@denisemacdonald2062]

Good morning Stephen and April 🤗

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

good morning

[@sarapulford5957]

🇬🇧 Nice to have a second pair of hands. Even nicer to have company, other than pigs and chickens, who can answer in "human" 🤣🤣💖

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

You have no idea..lol

[@virginiareid5336]

Another window in. Progress! The video was so nice to watch. Perhaps a step stool for the hen hutch would make egg gathering easier. Take Care

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Great idea!

[@virginiareid5336]

Hickory Ridge Homestead, just thought your lady might not want a handful of something other than egg!

[@MrFoamheart]

Gotcha a cute new camera operate and helper........ Congratulations BTW !!

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

thank you

[@Andy-in5yn]

Great video again mate and I agree wholeheartedly with J F. .Look forward to your next video, so Take Care and Be Safe.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thanks, you too!

[@bonezshakergarage]

Awesome build. Wish I had half your skill

[@annettenewton6240]

I love your videos. Camera work is very good. Such a sharp good picture. Glad you are back.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you very much!

[@susanelliott1970]

April needs a step stool so she can see in the nesting boxes. Don’t want her surprised by an unexpected visitor!

[@snoozensue6375]

Maybe a platform along the whole length for her.. she is a little bitty (adorable) to try to reach up and in so far.

[@janetcutler9539]

As a longtime subscriber it's wonderful to see April in this vlog, I'm sure April is a little camera shy and that's ok. God bless.

[@bama4346]

Steven so good to have you back, you were missed. April is a natural with the camera, keep up the great work. Fall is here and cooler weather means its time to make bacon and ham. If you're up to it, I suggest a quick smoke house build project before that, smoking pork is the best. If not, then maybe for the next pigs. I'm looking forward to more and longer video's, that 11 and 1/2 minutes went by way too fast.

[@bigmamma6946]

Awesome viewing cheers

[@curtisep5885]

I had hoped you'd show April framed in that pretty picture window. One pretty picture deserves another 😁 Cabin is coming along fine man! Be safe

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Next time!

[@StephaniRyan]

Lol, leaf blower broom. That's my trick, see so many using a broom I laugh and say why you noodle, use a leaf blower it's the only way to go. Good to see another brilliant mind at work.

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

Little white piggy still has the sparkle in her eye for you and your camera how cute lol.

[@rollemswift2683]

Well Hi April nice to meet you girl he needs someone to recharge his batteries, with your help I'm sure it's gonna be a beautiful home you look like a worker put that drive back into the old guy. love and welcome from the UK bless you look forward to seeing plenty of you. Cheers.

Awesome and well done, God bless

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you very much!

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

So glad you have a helper Stephen. April is a gorgeous addition to the Farm, one that was needed to make it all complete. From the picture on FB looking down from the loft it looked like you put a door in and here it was a window. Great job! Nice job on filming April. Y'alls Cabin is looking gorgeous and with each window it lets in those spectacular views. God bless!

[@jimlong527]

Nice 👍

[@johnpiegzik298]

The cabin is starting to take shape, looking good! Staying on 2 feet these days? LOL! John 😎👍 Nice camera assistant!!?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Its slowly getting there. Cutting these holes out and not screwing it up is a challenge. My chainsaw skills are pretty rusty.

[@vfdchauffer3606]

Was there a back story on April, how you met etc? If you would like to share, A quick self interview usually works. Glad you back and got some help and partner in life, thats makes everyday better.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

She is one of the managers of a business that I'm in quite often. We became friends and it just went from there.

[@vfdchauffer3606]

Awesome, so this life isn't a shock to here. She is from the area. I wish you long and happy life together. No

[@iliasanchez3337]

Me gusta lo qué haces y como lo haces; te felicito a ti y familia

[@curiousgrandpa]

Great to see you back and doing well, umm I can see a raised platform for April and the egg nests, ha. Did you get your well house built back? Hope you video that too when you have time.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Not yet but its on my project list

[@j.m.7056]

Hey, April -- great to see you. Oh, and great camera work!!!

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you! You too!

[@JCZ2601NL]

🇳🇱NL.I wonder how are you going to close and isolate the cracks between the beams Greetings from the Netherlands (Europe)👍👍👍👍👍🍀❤️

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Its just a standard insulation and mortar chinking. Getting nice straight logs in this part of the country is impossible so we just used the ones from right here on the property

[@vmorganbogart]

Another window down! Woohoo! It’s looking really nice. You’re gonna get some nice bacon, looks like. A step for your wife, at the chicken coop, would be nice. Use one of those logs you took out for the windows. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TonyT-lo2sz]

Sure glad your back making video's. Couple of questions if I may. How come you keep 1 pig and did the new pumphouse ever get built?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

The one pig is about to be gone and the new well house hasnt been built yet, just the temporary one for now.

[@kmarchman1047]

Good video. April is a tiny little peanut, isn't she?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

yes she is tiny!!!

[@judyrosy]

Why the EFF didn't you cut it out from the OUTSIDE???? So all the saw dust would not be inside??? : )

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

with a broom and blower it only takes about 5 minutes to clean up the dust and keeping the bottom of all the windows the same height would be a challenge since there is no level place to measure from.

[@yetid5928]

I thought for sure you’d put a window in the kitchen

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

I started to but with the kitchen lay out it doesnt really work.

[@kmarchman1047]

I would have to have a window for the light and the view but that's just me. It's a shame though.

[@larrywalker3137]

I don't see you only had one hog in the video did you take one in for freezer camp

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

yep one is already off to freezer camp and this one isnt far behind
