When dragging to location consider some removable stretchers across skids to prevent them from spreading apart.

[@perryspain8360]

Al, I am sure you have plans to keep runners from spreading further apart on the uneven terrain that will push out. The project looks great.

[@pamelariley8983]

I don't think you are going overboard ! Nice , very nice job !

[@jacquejecker4435]

In this video I realized how big your construction assistant, Brutus, has gotten. He is definitely earning his name.

[@Conn653]

When you tow 'the gate/shed' around, I'ld recommend installing a temporary spreader at the bottom on the towing end. this will take stress off the main supports when the tow chain is attached. After "The Shed" is relocated, undue a couple of bolts and remove the temporary spreader.

[@StoneKathryn]

That's a good idea. Justin Rhodes has a similar structure and they use a pipe spreader to hook to it to pull it around. Thanks for that suggestion! I hope you had a great weekend!

[@AlfredPedneau]

Great Day in the Afternoon !!! 😊😊😊

[@billamick2338]

Great project but I have one concern. The bracing at the top is really sturdy but my concern is the bottom side to side bracing. Since there is none I would be worried that when moving it around the skids could possibly cause a separation and lead to failure of the structure. I would suggest a 2x4 across the bottom of the gates to keep the side to side structure in place.

[@samvalentine3206]

Even a temp support when it's moved...

[@schwabrichard9829]

Good Morning. I saw where Kens town has had some more flooding and washouts. Another smart project build. Brutus takes his job seriously, full time inspector!!

[@patriciafuchs5970]

I am constantly amazed at how much you need to know about building things and what you have to consider. It’s complicated. Brutus is a gentle giant now.

[@mskippi]

Good Morning from Michigan. You’re always making your farm better. The pigs will thank you.

[@wrldvw1836]

Brutus is doing such a good job.

[@markpashia7067]

Al, you might want a "stretcher bar" for moving it if you don't put a spreader at the bottom for a trip hazard. Just something to keep the width correct as you move it. Thinking a 2x4 pinned into place with bolts to the front part of the skids just when towing it to keep them from pigeon toeing inward when you pull.

[@bobt3374]

Hi Al,Gina,Brutus. Nice build as always good to see the workshop used more. Well done happy family.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

I am constantly amazed at how much you need to know about building things and what you have to consider. It’s complicated. Brutus is a gentle giant now. Hope your roads are drying out and the predicted heat doesn’t bother the animals too much

Morning Al and all. Pig pen is looking good, I think you are going to have to add a board across the bottom for when you are skidding this structure around to give it side to side support. Then if desired you could take that board back off. Great video folks!! Jay from Pa.

[@rosiedepetro8674]

Morning Al & Gina. We're getting a whole lot of rain here in Central Alabama as well. My yard looks like a pasture lol. I can not believe how big Brutus has gotten & I'm sure he's not done growing yet. A lot of your older videos have been popping up on my feed lately. I'm talking about like back when you & Olivia were collecting eggs & you & Olivia was sledding. Not sure why but I don't mind in the least. Wishing you all a wonderful day.

[@StoneKathryn]

Good evening Lloyd! I hope your weekend was wonderful!

[@lauriesmith7793]

Happy Saturday. A great pen for your new pigs. And all other purposes. Brutus is getting big and looking so handsome. What a good boy 😊.

[@ginnypennington1426]

No kidding about the crazy weather this year! Never seen it like this before!

[@frankbarajas]

I like the mobile enclosure, while the gates kind of hold the ends together they aren't designed for those kind of forces. I think you may want to add something under or very near the gates to keep the vertical members from splaying apart while being towed and possibly spread apart by uneven ground. Perhaps a 3/4" or 1" metal rod or all thread rod bolted through to each side. This would keep the sides parallel and help keep the roof from buckling or having a column break from the uneven torsion and stress while being pulled causing a shear failure in the structure. It would only take one rut or exposed rock to catch an end to put a significant twist to damage and weaken the integrity of the enclosure.

[@kalaipaa]

Brutus is getting so big!!

[@louisl.8724]

Put some metal black pipe across each end under the gates, to keep the side walls from going out if you move it and. Plus it will keep anything from going under them or digging under.

[@StoneKathryn]

I like that idea. Nice and strong down below and low enough to walk over. Thanks for the suggestion. I hope Al agrees!

[@TeeGee-kh4sw]

Couldn't help but think that if you are going to put this pig pen and a pig in it in the woods with half hight sides and area above the gates would be great for bears to climb over or wolves to jump over to get your pigs...just saying. Please consider more wire on sides and above gates. Won't hurt you to stoop down to get through gated area to feed or cuddle your pigs. Cheers for your videos.❤

[@debbiebeckstead9268]

It’s just for the male pig and he is worried about the wolves and bears so I’m sure he will figure something out that will be safe for the pig.

[@artsmith4669]

Al, once again your planning for future needs and to protect your animals is impeccable. Your insight on not only necessity but building a totally diverse home and business is a good example for future homesteaders. Keep it going I’m enjoying the ride.

[@soniaburpee7951]

I think Brutus should have his own earmuffs. After all, he’s helping with construction.

[@garypyle8456]

U might want to think about a lower chain to hold ur gate closed,because a full grown pig is very strong,they can push on a farm gate at the bottom to get out. Nice job

[@sharrondinnis1335]

[@trevorliggat5044]

How come we do not see Oliva helping out with jobs around the homestead during school holidays ?, just a thought why do you not move the 40ft container down by the workshop and put a roof between the shop and the container to store equipment under cover ?.

[@4Classie]

A Structure for Sawmill will be attached to side of the Shop, the Barn gets structures on each side in the future !

[@kaisenji]

Pretty sure she's not out there because Gina doesn't want her out there getting hurt or anything. I'm not sure how much good she's gonna be on a homestead if she doesn't know how to do anything on the homestead. but who knows what the future will hold.

[@4Classie]

@@kaisenji This comment board has various commenters, and not all are with empathy, Olivia is a teenager who works on the farm and is often holding the camera, she doesn't need to be exposed to rude comments, or anything be-it good or bad intentions, the bullying is a feature of Video comments on KZbin and the Lumnah's have had their share, let to kids decide with their parents guidance, when and if to be filmed, at best the family shares 3.5 hours of their week, with us, we haven't got a clue, beyond that, all people are subjected to peer-pressure as are the farm animals in their groups, those that ignorantly fight are devalued !

Screws seem to work longer over time than nails; especially outside. If you ever want to do modifications or fixes, screws have a clear advantage. Plus less repetative motion like injury and with the number of building projects you do, PPE type things are something you should think of in the back of your mind.
