Farm Renovations - What Has Craig Done!?

[@stuartfillmore7331]

Great stuff. The look on her face when she was holding the chicken was priceless.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Thanks Stuart! It was pure joy wasn't it 😊 thanks for watching!

[@wheatlandwanderers]

There’s nothing quite like the countryside I grew up in as a child, those memories are unmatched. Days spent with motorbikes, chickens and endless adventures are simply priceless. Even now I try to give our kids a taste of that lifestyle. We had our own chooks, still have our own pet ducks, and even incubated duck and chicken eggs so they can experience the magic of new life firsthand. Over the years we’ve had rabbits, guinea pigs, a dog, fish… just about every animal under the sun. Miranda, those roses I swear I can smell them from here 💐🧡💛🩷💜

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@wheatlandwanderers yep we really hope the kids love growing up in the country, there is something so special about it 💚 The roses are spectacular, we will be sure to hook you up with some when you come to visit 😁

[@wheatlandwanderers]

@ Can’t wait to fill my caravan with your farm treasures 🫶 Miss you guys 😪

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@wheatlandwanderers miss you too! ❤️

[@sarahthompson7652]

The kids (and you) are going to build so many more new core memories there. The place is coming up Fab 👌

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@sarahthompson7652 thanks lovely, yep we agree lots of amazing memories to be made. I can see a few with you and Dave around a campfire coming up 😁🍻

[@sarahthompson7652]

​@RoaminintheRobbo we are always up for camping trips if we are home 😁😁😁 we just all gotta be in the same place at the same time 😂😂

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@sarahthompson7652 yep that is the hard thing to coordinate!!

[@youmeandtheGSDs]

Great job! Excellent chook house reno! (Glad you had no slithery encounters!) Loved the kid’s surprises and their genuine joy. Thanks for sharing with us :)

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@youmeandtheGSDs thanks! We are really pleased with how it came up, hopefully the ladies like living there 😊 Was worth the effort to surprise the kids 😁 thanks for watching ❤️

[@Neil-clare]

Hi guys what a lovely plot of land! Camo is so stoked he’s got a quad bike 👍🏻 the chook coup came up great….but if you have 6 female chooks how in the hell did they lay eggs with no roosters around 😂 so much work to be done but nice finished it’s gunna look amazing! such a lovely place to live. I bet you get super dark skies at night…..the Milky Way should look amazing…..Im sure some astronomy club would love to spend some time there 👍🏻 awesome guys thanks for video 🤗

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@Neil-clare Cam absolutely loves the new quad bike, you can't get him off of it! Hens lay eggs everyday ,poor things 😬, if you have a rooster then that's when they can ve fertilised to become chick's, otherwise they just stay yummy old eggs 😁 Yep beautiful clear skies at night ⭐️⭐️ Craig will finally get to use his telescopes that just collected dust back in the city. Thanks for watching guys, have a great week!

[@michaelsecomb4115]

I can recommend snake wire for chook houses, to keep out snakes, possums, foxes etc. Our chook house was regularly besieged by carpet pythons before we snake-proofed it. Also recommend covering the ground in sand.

[@michaelsecomb4115]

BTW the rule of thumb is carpet pythons should be moved about a kilometre for each foot of snake, or they may come back. Do not attempt to move other snakes as you may be bitten. The floor inside the chook house should be covered in diatomaceous (spelling) earth to kill fleas.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Thanks for the tips Michael,! I'm definitely going to look into the snake wire! I, Miranda, am petrified of snakes!! The ladies have since scratched back the left over grass and have a nice sandy base now 😊 Thanks for watching!!

[@filthyoffroadadventures]

Oh my goodness the reaction of Jacquline (sorry if spelt incorrect) was just awesome. Great work on the coop. Quads and not that bad back in the day we had the trikes now they were sketchy 😂 Property is looking incredible. Matt and Leisa.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Very close! It is Jacqueline 😊 it was such a sweet reaction wasn't it ❤ yeah think I would be nervous on a trike, wow bet that was easy to tip! Cam absolutely loves the quad and has picked up the handling of it really quick. Lots of entertain there to be had I think!

[@TeannCoffee]

Nice effort rewarded by the look of surprise!

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@@TeannCoffee yep definitely worth the effort 😊

[@KathMorris9082]

Love catching up with your eps. Chicken coop came up a treat 👌🏻 All looking good!

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@KathMorris9082 thanks Kath! Yeah super pleased how it came up, hopefully the ladies are very happy in there 😁

[@Mauler058]

Hi we had acreage in West Swan and lost 19 of our girls in one night to foxes. We found running snake wire over the coup and out about 600-700ml flat on the surrounding ground worked a treat. We used wire pegs and sleepers to hold the snake wire flat onto the ground. Good luck, hope that helps. PS Love your videos ❤

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@Mauler058 oh gosh that must have been devastating 😢 thank for the tip, we will have a look into the snake wire. Thanks for watching!

[@leeambrose9449]

Mate, seeing the look on the kids faces I definitely thing you guys have made a great choice moving there. I bet there will be alot less screen time because they will be outside enjoying life. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@leeambrose9449 thanks mate. Yep definitely think it was best choice the kids, and us, are absolutely loving it 💚

[@myrabenson1603]

What an ace place you got there and chooks too the children loved the surprises and Miranda pleased with the roses 🌹 oh what a great lifestyle now 😀 you getting a dog now you out in the country 😀 xx

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

We are absolutely loving the new lifestyle! Just need to learn to slow down still hehehe We would love to get a dog now, but still don't think the time is right yet. We still have a lot of travel we want to do and it can be quite restrictive when you have a dog. So maybe in our later years we will 😊 Thanks for watching! ❤

[@LeighFinn-t3q]

Good job with the chook house or snake magnet lol The foxes you can befriend we use to have a couple at work who use to visit us in the crib rooms aswell as a couple of magpies who we hand fed and never had a snake problem which was good due to the amount of browns and death adders that we came across

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Oh no not a snake magnet 😭 that must have been cool having the foxes as "friends" they are quite a cool animal as are the Maggie's. Hopefully we don't get to many slithering friends though 🤣 Thanks we were really pleased with how it came up 😊

[@moikehunt8928]

Looks like you guys got yourselves a little slice of paradise, well done.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@moikehunt8928 thanks mate! We are absolutely loving our little slice of paradise 💚 hope your Broome trip went well!

[@ottoswinebar]

We grew up in MB And sometimes really miss it , just not the weather. Make sure you plant some table grapes, they love it down there.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Such a beautiful place, can see why you miss it! There is one vine already growing, but definitely have plans for more 😊 thanks for watching!

[@ottoswinebar]

@ started watching you when we were planning our trip now I’m watching you build a Homestead😆 If you do ever Setup a Hipcamp, we will visit for sure.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@ottoswinebar that would be awesome mate, we certainly hope too!

[@ottoswinebar]

@@RoaminintheRobbo will touch base when we visit family at Xmas

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@ottoswinebar 👍

[@derekperry9720]

Great job. Love it. Hopefully the foxes and snakes dont get to your chickens looks secured. Are you getting many eggs.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@derekperry9720 thanks mate! Yeah we certainly hope they don't 🤞 we are getting an average of 4 a day and they are delicious 😁 thanks for watching 🍻

[@JonoMurn-ck2qd]

Another Egg-cellant ep! 👍🏻😉

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@JonoMurn-ck2qd 🤣🤣 thanks mate 🥚🥚

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

Awesome stuff mate! Love the space! Sooooo, see you on WikiCamps? 😂

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

@GrabLifeByTheGourlays hopefully! Once we are done with the renos that is definitely the plan 😁

[@KWofPerth]

Can't believe you got Dad digging trenches.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]
