I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

You could wrap metal tape around the bolt heads to smooth out any wear on the plastic.

[@2rosie2100]

When I did my above ground pool it suggests to put tape I went with white duct tape to match. Al could use silver color. And it lasted 9 years. when I finally took the pool down because no one was using it. I couldn't believe that the tape held up that long. But not sure if Al would like the tape. He did like the sticker. LOL 😁 just teasing you Al. It's coming along great you sure made me nervous up on that ladder when it was on the truck. Great job , can't wait to see the rest.

[@Ali-ct9pb]

The new camera is great! Much more clarity! MORE SNOW?!?!!! I feel for you folks. I’m so disappointed that it’s snowing for your sakes. But God bless Gina for getting out there and helping you, what a sweetheart❣️ I would not be out there 😱 I like your screwdriver trick. Clever. Bless your neighbor friend for helping, those would be so cold and heavy. Clever how you used the clamps too. When I do a project in the winter, my hands are freezing, everything moves on me, then I drop the nut! 😤 You are a go getter. Great job!

[@golfmike304]

This is one of my favorite channels. I can't stop watching. I'm rather new to it and am hooked. Just good old clean living and love all the family time and praying and being thankful for the food. This is so relaxing. Except for climbing that tall ladder in the back of a very slick truck bed. LOL I work at a chemical plant and ladder safety is one of our main topics. Love all the content, morning rituals feeding the animals. Seeing the goats jump and leap just brings a smile every time. Can't wait to see how your green house works out. great job so far.

[@kflan3342]

NE Texas has moved from snow storms to tornadoes. We had humdinger storms last night with golf ball hail. While hunkering down in the laundry room (safest room in the house) all I could think about was the garden was being shredded by hail. My next thought was how grateful I was to not be out in the deluge. This morning: garden will survive. God is good!

[@josephpedone2004]

Good morning Lumnah family, young man for future reference if you use your truck as a ladder platform.... please, please, please pink ratchet strap the ladder to the truck. My heart sank watching you... have a blessed day

I am amazed at the huge jobs you tackle! And jealous as I’d love a greenhouse that size. Thanks for the videos - I look forward to them every day. I notice Figaro was supervising at first, until he decided it was too cold!

[@tvcat3665]

Yea, he went to the door and Olivia let him in the nice warm house. 😄

[@donnadunlop]

Great vid with the new camera, and the drone shots were just fabulous. Held my breath a few times you being on top of that ladder in the bed of the truck, those ladders get very slippery in the cold, then throw in gusts of wind. Green house is coming along very quickly and you will be feeding an army in no time. Rest up and thanks for taking us along.

[@hvnfun8601]

Dear Al, You guys have become my breakfast companions and I have enjoyed your journey. Having watched you over the years, I know I could teach you a thing or two as I’m old enough to be your Dad - maybe your grand Dad. As I watch, you have taught me quite a few things. Today, up on that ladder with blowing snow sucking the heat off of your body, I realized you were a better man than me. Continue on doing what you are Doing and I’ll learn some more.

This really helps keep me from complaining about it being "only" in the 40s down here in Boston. Hang in there Al, as soon as you cover that greenhouse it'll turn 70s.

Isn't that the truth .... take care.

[@catherinecrossland2305]

I nearly had a heart attack when i saw you climb that ladder on the back of the truck. I live in the tropics but my hands felt cold just watching you working with steel while the snow fell........incredible. you are doing a great job as usual. you are such a talented and capable man Al. You and Gina are the perfect match. i so enjoy all of your projects I can't get over how big the chooks are now. The one with the black fancy head is beautiful (if only he would stay still for a moment so i could get a good look at him). Well off to bed now. Unfortunately tomorrow is Sunday which means I have to wait 'til Monday to see you all again. Stay safe and warm :)

[@richardholmes3046]

Once again you did a great job on the greenhouse. It just wears me out watching you guys build your farm. It has got to be a blessing for you to live a dream. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching.

[@margaretbedwell58]

Thank you to the gentleman who came to help you Al. I don't know how y'all did that in the cold snowy weather. It made me cold watching...had to put an aphgan (SP) over me. The greenhouse is really shaping up. I hope the the Lord gives you a nice sunny day without wind when you put the plastic over it. Have a Blessed day.

I love the progress you guys have made on your homestead and the growth made when talking to the camera. You mentioned something about being too busy to build a bench for Nora, what about a small spool, small table, etc. for her to jump up on instead of the feeder?

[@susangerryknight2571]

It's just great to see you guys putting up your green house. I don't know if you ever watch Garden Answers you tube channel. She has a hoop house like yours and it's beautiful. They put a shingle front on and barn style doors. She also put a shade cloth over the top and she says it lasts longer as she has very hot summers over 100 degrees. I hope this idea will help with your beautiful farm designs. Best wishes with all you do.

[@stephenriley9084]

Al, I like that structure! Suggest wrap all external facing bolt heads in insulation tape. Will stop chafing. I taped all the bolt joints on mine to keep the bugs and the elements out. Like I said before, I also sunk fence posts inside at the corners and midway and then attached the uprights to them. You look pretty sturdy, though. What a superb microclimate you are creating. Well done!! Regards Stephen.

That was smart, Al. To put the screwdriver in the top hole so the connector wouldn't fall inside to the bottom of the post. I wouldn't have thought of that, at least until I dropped a connector inside. 🤔😆

The weather is crazy right along with this time in history! Glad you guys had help with getting them trusses up for the greenhouse. No laughing on this end Al, just a little nervousness for you and wishing you could have put it up in two piece, but it looked heavy and awkward to handle in the longer sections. Then you made me even more nervous with the ladder in the truck bed! lol But you did good as I knew you would, but still nerve wracking. But the green house is really taking shape, but would have been easier in better weather for you,. 17 eggs, nice!!!

For trapped birds inside, I have a Feather Duster on a long handle, they will grab it and hide inside it, Then you can bring them outside. It's Ostrich feathers. When we had our roof worked on a bird somehow got into the house from a hole that USED to be some kind of vent from where the kitchen used to be. The kitchen had been moved downstairs, so the bird ended up in the closet of the master bedroom, and then into the bathroom where there was lot of light, but no window that could be opened like yours. It took some doing to get it outside again.

Something I learned from a fireman - always have your hands on the side rails of the ladder - hold on by sliding your hand up or down. Your hands are always in contact with the ladder. When you go from rung to rung you don't have control. It takes some practice but you will feel much more comfortable once you master it.

[@johnahern770]

He is hardly likely to be putting chickens in that monstrous greenhouse in the winter.. That is why they bought that monstrous thing. SO THAT CAN GROW "STUFF" IN THE WINTER ! so why turn a whole lot of chickens loose in there to eat up all their work ?????
