I remember when Penelope was the number one maker of mud pies. And now she is number one baker of sour dough bread. Great job Penelope. I'll bet that was a fantastic addition to the soup. Your fencing is looking great Jason. Thank you Mike for coming along with helping hands on Jason's fence project. That was a real blessing. Until next time, y'all have a Blessed day.

[@sharonadlam3195]

Margaret, I was remembering Jason building the small mud pie kitchen for Penelope at their previous property - she is growing into a very self sufficient and beautiful young lady.

[@pampilgrim2274]

Great job, Jason! Everyone needs a “Mike.”

[@sallyburkett-caskinette8723]

It’s nice to work with someone and be able to talk. By yourself you don’t hear a sole most of the day!😊

[@melaniehopkins4778]

Jason, you are a machine! We admire your tenacity.

[@antonianovoa6416]

Never throw material away. This is your "Have it on hand" day! saves $$$

[@tracyboyd4867]

Thanks mike for helping jason get some of the fencing done its always nice to have someone to talk too...😊

[@Miss.Libby.]

That fence looks great Jason. Good to see your friend lending a hand. Perhaps young Penelope is a baker in the making with the success of that sourdough loaf. It looked tasty. 👏🏻🇦🇺

[@live2endure]

Beware of electrifying gates via induction. Wrapping a hot wire around a post instead of installing an end post insulator and then installing gate hinge bolts in that end post can induce voltage onto the bolts and and gate. Strainrite has an awesome video on installing end post insulators that I follow every time I do electric end posts.

[@rk100364]

lol "From mud pies to sourdough bread" I remember her little pie stand!

[@theresafox4367]

That is one of the best types of jacks a farmer could have.

[@bombadil776]

Had no idea that's how that type of fencing was done. I will leave this earth smarter than before i watched it.

[@irmibullinger1421]

So Jason, as a farmer, do you like the time change? It's nice of Mike to come help you. A second pair of eyes and hands and someone to talk to other than the camera(us)

[@janellevoigt5481]

T post wire clips, yes a screw driver manual and pliers, that is what we used to stall them. Also, be careful you are not jacking against the concrete plug around the post, it can happen. Looks great, love the videos!

[@marylouise890]

I like watching U work and me laid back watching you 😂 Hi 👋 Mike 😊

[@cheriekreusel3756]

That fencing project is moving right along. It looks really nice.

[@barbaragrayarmendariz9056]

Thanks, Mike, for helping Jason out

[@Marialyse]

That is what we called a bumper jack back in the day. Was used on all vehicles , trailers and small implements.

[@guntaweiland3428]

You are a family of hard workers with an easy laugh❤

[@honiebird3789]

That soup and bread looks yummy!

[@LaidBackHomesteader]

Fence is looking good guys. I'm doing a bit of fencing too. Its to keep the sheep away from the apple trees.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi...... Jason and Loraine thanks you for showing your video homestead beautiful great good job BYE 👋 BYE 👋 BYE 👋 BYE 👋👍👍👍👌👌👌

[@ireneferrante2313]

You have great tenacity getting this all done!

[@shermdog6969]

I had a slice of einkorn sourdough and my blood sugar shot up to 200. Boy was i bummed because i love it.

[@StoneKathryn]

Wow, look at all those chemtrails behind you! I like hearing the frog peepers in the background noise. Yay, bees are out. I hope they can find enough flowers. Thanks Mike for helping. Wow, you've got all your woven wire fence up! Great job! Yum, Chicken and rice soup made by Lorraine with an Einkorn flour sourdough that Miss P. made! That looks incredible! Thanks for this video Contreras family!

[@jacobeader8818]

The fence looks great and I love every video. If I can say something itd be to get a tool belt. You'd be amazed at how much time it saves you. If you do get one I'd suggest getting a cheap home Depot or Lowe's store brand and figuring out what you want in your tool belt as far as pockets then get a forever belt. In my opinion the best belts out there are diamondback tool belts I've had mine for 4 years I wear it everyday as a carpenter and it barely shows wear and tear. Thank you for the videos they are so inspiring

[@jennsadventures84]

Doesn't it feel good to be able to look at what tou have accomplished? Good job...its learning process.

[@bradc6056]

Get your pry bar and shove it under the post to break the air lock the mud makes. It will pop out super easy afterwards

[@SowtheLand]

thanks for the tip

[@GGMASherry]

Great job guys! The infrastructure is always the most laborious of farming! Always happy for an extra set of hands 😊

[@camicri4263]

This kids grow up too fast, like we did too! Great job you guys! Blessings!

[@eronbellia9712]

Love watching you and your family's journey. I think about homesteading and kinda living off grid remote but not to remote. You and your beautiful family are very inspirational and you sir are so patient & knowledgeable. I look forward to your videos & watching your journey. Keep at it! Keep your head up. You guys are doing great.

[@marylouise890]

Hello I found you thru Ben and the Blog you 3, including Al have now. Lovin the Podcast 😊

[@SowtheLand]

Hey, thanks!

[@jimputnam2044]

In stead of moving the post after all the work to get them in I would have moved the gate a bit. LOL My dad used to say do it twice , now you are sure.

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day to all.

[@glengillis7775]

Nice to have helpfully friends. Your getting it done Mr. Good job

[@indianacryptid6020]

nice work on the fence.🙌🙌 from mud pies to sourdough bread 🤣🤣😂😂❤❤

[@jeantaylor9119]

I admire your work ethics

[@gaylewatkins4685]

So glad you had help with the fence.🥰 👏👏👏

[@belieftransformation]

Way to go, Penelope, on the beautiful Einkorn sourdough bread! My first Einkorn sourdough wasn’t that good looking! Great progress on the fencing guys! Yummy looking soup, Lorraine! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

[@mstewart9231]

Good neighbors are wirth their weight in gold. You are blessed with two great cooks.

[@lefthooklarry1348]

That fence will pay dividends. If I was spending someone else’s money, I’d do woven wire all the way around. You can keep any animal you like. Love your work sir😊

[@LB-gr7gu]

Great neighbour .. priceless ❤

[@c_gakom]

I'm looking forward to seeing bigger animals. The bread is great; I love it. Enjoy your meal!

[@douglasbooker8330]

Jason! That fencing has been tedious but a labor of love keep grinding. God Bless

[@thirdgen_g3122]

Have you thought about making/purchasing pollen traps for your hives? Pollen is good stuff!

[@srqlisa7881]

Congrats Penelope your bread looks delicious.

[@madzabinga8382]

Are you ever going to show us more indoor projects? Bathroom reno? The mudroom finished? Kitchen makeover?

[@SowtheLand]

that is the plan

[@marylouise890]

👋 Loraine & Penelope 😊 Your sourdough bread looked delicious 😋 What kind of corn 🌽 did you say Loraine? Jason your pasture is gonna hold critters in and out, I’m thinking. 👍

[@nancyfahey7518]

The wet mud is making a suction. If you jammed a piece of rebar down there?

[@jasminaalm]

So glad you got that cool truck.

[@lindajoe9862]

Good job on the Sourdough sweetie😊❤

[@leahr.2620]

Good job Miss P on your sour dough bread. I have a hard time cutting the big round loaf so i cut it in half and lay the cut side down and slice it that way, I find it easier that way. 😉

[@PatrickPoet]

when you said mud pies to sourdough bread I had an image of her in the yard at your old place making mud pies

[@LoveGrowLiveFree]

So wonderful giving your daughter public praise ❤

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

Pond 1, pond 2, pond 3. = lots of ducks.

[@shadegarden7375]

It always gets cold again right around Easter…

[@theduke8077]

Excellent video and work once again Jason 🇬🇧

[@claudettehernandez3402]

Oooeee listen to them frogs. Sounds like you need a pond.

[@brad823]

Looks really good. Great job. I'd leave the posts.

[@scottulbrich5376]

in all the miles of fence ive built and seen built, never have i seen it done like this

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

How do you build yours? As I travel around, I find a lot of regional differences. In our area everyone wants an 8 inch post every eight feet. That seems excessive to me.

[@jillyd2807]

Good man, Mike! 👏👏👏

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

lol im watching as i eat my chicken soup with pasta and barley lol hugssss

[@beverleysims9302]

❤❤❤❤good work stay safe

[@gerardomanuelortiztellado1460]

Greetings and Blessings GOD BLESS YOU ALL🙏

[@wendyburston3132]

My heart sank when you decided to pull those posts. I can feel the pain of it as I often have to backtrack on something I've done because I keep changing my mind. My husband doesn't think I'll ever be completed in the garden set up😮. That bread looked so good. Way to go Penelope!

[@clarencewiles963]

Good supper ✅

[@jt1364]

Mike should hold the camera while Jason does the work. lol

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

🎥🤔

[@opalezell2166]

Thank you Mike for helping Jason.

[@lanedouglas2165]

Jason, look at and research “swales on countour”. This may be a better solution for your drainage problem than building a pond.

[@susangonzalez7974]

looking great Jason, can't wait to see some more beefy boys and maybe a nice Jersey cow, bet those piggies would squeal at you for some leftover milk.

[@SowtheLand]

Did you watch the video? I show you my tool belt at the end. 😬

[@kellijomo]

You GO, Penelope! I'm trying to learn sourdough and keep overproofing mine. Progress....lol

[@patience1226]

GREAT progress!

[@sawmillcharliesbeefarm]

Have you checked your bees and see it they need feed so they don't starve before the nectar flow starts?

[@sherriedixon3889]

Love your videos. Every one of them.

[@SowtheLand]

Glad you like them!

[@gkiferonhs]

What an incredible job. If you're driving those big old nails and screws, you may want to get yourself at least a 28 oz hammer. You work less swinging a big hammer when you're driving spikes.

[@SowtheLand]

Good point

[@victorybeginsinthegarden]

You look like twins lol😂😂

[@janwolvin2773]

The more minds on a project the better thanks for being there Mike

[@howardclay9085]

Jason, I'm nickname you chain Walker.

[@lynh8378]

Was that frogs or crickets i hear lol? Nice work on the fence!

[@mmurphy2317]

Frogs....

[@gailjohnson2106]

Great job!

[@SundryTalesOfConstance79WESTY]

Nooice! 😎 STOC

[@richardroyles1423]

God bless

[@LisaG-fu9zp]

Thanks Mike for helping

[@janetestis1472]

Good job!

[@mio.giardino]

Look at them lines….. in the sky 😮😢

[@evalinawarne1337]

❤

[@earlinemcgahen3931]

Spred ashes under the fenceline and it will kill anything growing there

[@J_bar_S_Photography]

Man, you need to be very careful with that high lift / farm jack. They're called widow makers for a reason. I've had one break my jaw.

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

Definitely! When we were lifting that post there were a few times we talked about how it could slip out and take out our shins. That conversation just didn't make it into the cut.

[@preschoolhomestead]

How did you decide on the number of lines and spacing of the high tensile wires?

[@tracyzabelle]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Stepdaddy8969]

👍🏽

[@paulbaham7513]

What size drill bit are you using and what size nail?

[@sharonhaas8503]

💞💖💕

[@Dawn-di1qs]

I once told my oldest son that when looking for a spouse .... she must know how to make bread from scratch...

[@helenhelps9619]

🚛🚛

[@bjo867]

That's clay mud is brown lol

[@nadineduerksen6556]

What is icorn?

[@marylouise890]

#Jason I clicked on Mike’s channel and it said, sorry but this ‘Channel, is not available 🤷‍♀️

[@TheEmbrio]

Pleasantplacesfarm i believe

[@dr3406]

💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏

[@shadegarden7375]

I would leave those post in…you might change your mind later?

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

We changed our minds several times while discussing it. It's a tricky section where the land is uneven and water flows through there.

[@lindalou9507]

Is it me or are there a whole lot of chem trails in the sky???

[@patedwards2907]

They're filling your sky with chemtrails❗️ How are you and your family feeling on these chemtrail days❓️ have headaches, fatigue, etc❓️

[@SowtheLand]

feeling great! thanks for asking!
