As always enjoy you builds. Enjoy you kitties and Brutus helping, too. How are the house kitties, now?

[@gracewashburn8276]

It’s kind of funny that they just assume that you’re not using pressure treated seal plates. I know you just by watching you all these years. Everything that is below foot level is pressure-treated wood. I think you really know what you’re doing and others are just assuming you don’t, you’re doing a wonderful job out. You have your roots from Massachusetts a lot of people from the state know that purchase treated the best way to go besides like I said I have followed you for many years and I know what you use for materials. Don’t let those yahoos get you down you might be younger than me young man, but I have learned quite a bit from you. Keep up the good work, sweetie. You and Gina have done a lot. I have one question how are the other kitties doing in the house the first bond cats😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

I really appreciate the safety protocol you show using the circular saw. Always have your left hand off the saw or in your pocket. Whoever trained you did a great job.

We used wood chips for the hogs, no mess, no smell, clean. It was awesome

Freezing outside water for animals. I use canned beets with no added sugar, add water, blend. Then I add about 1 cup per gallon of water. They really don't get much of the natural sugar but it does help prevent freezing

[@StoneKathryn]

I should try that. The beet juice in the tractor tires are supposed to do the same thing for the tires. I bet it makes the water taste better for them too! Have a great weekend!

Good morning Lumnahs. It is definitely warmer here in western Texas. Lately we've been a little above freezing during the day. At night in the 20s. Thank you for sharing your barn building adventure with us. All along your construction projects, I keep seeing your cats. They appear to be some very interesting and talented felines. They not only keep your buildings rodent free but, they climb around on walls and ladders and take flying leaps from ladder to ladder. They are not only healthy and cute but, they are also very skilled and talented. Plus they are skilled hunters. Your felines have got to be a most special species of cats. You seem to be raising a highly sophisticated and talented cat. Are they from the breed, "hunter, acrobatic, cold climate, farm and barn feline cozy kitty"? You have some of the most interesting homestead farm animals. Appreciate your sharing your experience and knowledge. Keep safe, healthy, discerning, strong and successful. Looking forward to seeing what ya'll are doing on your next video. Blessings and prayers ☝ 🙏 🙌 until next time. 🖐

[@da1shark]

Have you heard of a study on the number of nails used when hammering them in the old fashion way vs using a nail gun? I bet the projects built today using nail guns have more nails in them (at least if the home owner was involved in the building project). When I use my nail gun, I think oh, a few more nails would not hurt. If I had to manually hammer them in I bet I would use less nails. 😊

Al I know you don't take advice but you should use Sill Plate Barrier between cement and wood even treated wood. Cement wicks water and will rot your wood quickly. Check with any home building supplier they will confirm.

[@clarencewiles963]

When in doubt about your pressure treated wood ask Ken. He’s not working but has the experience we can all trust. But in my experience your ok but check out the hardware for use with this wood. I used the wrong screws and after 3 months had to change them all on my swing. Thumbs up 👍

[@StoneKathryn]

I have to use the stainless steel screws for my deck because the original ones all corroded away and trying to snow shovel the deck is so frustrating because the screw heads keep popping up! There is nothing holding the deck boards down anymore in spots so I replace them all with the stainless steel deck screws and drive them in low. The decking is copper treated boards and so the original screws lost in the galvanic response when things got wet! I can't unscrew a single original screw because the shafts are all gone. It's a little frustrating because I had to remove many boards to replace the flashing that had rotted away too! I think building materials have improved since the 1980s!

Hi Al. Just a thought, for you have you considered putting in Dutch stall doors into the pig and chicken area so you don't jave to keep running them thru 3 stalls. It might also make it easier to move the animals and clean the stalls.

Ben Hollar has a sow that is NOT a good mother, she will be going to freezer-camp soon, Pete from "just a few acres" has stopped raising pigs because of their two sows not producing and the increase in food cost and processing, Sharaton park farms also are dropping pigs in favor of beef, so many things to think about !!
