Old Cabin Remodel Part 11: New Siding for an Old Porch

Putting new siding up on the porch and fixing a water barrel for the pigs.

[@falllineridge]

Hey guys, I’m getting some comments that the audio is not good on this video. Please leave a comment under this comment telling me your audio experiences on the channel. Is this video bad? Are others bad? I want to make sure I have good audio because it’s tough to watch a video with bad audio. Thanks!

[@chriswalters8110]

After 7:19 to 15:30. I’m using AirPods. Only the left has audio.

[@skrtskit1521]

I did experience an audio issue when the volume went way down, i assumed it was something i did and turned my volume up. I went back and checked,it is at 7:20. I start out with my volume low almost off and your video is very loud until 7:20 (I can't make the volume lower until past 720), then I need to turn up my volume. So don't know if its you are me. lol

[@skrtskit1521]

What I mean to say, is I have no control of video volume (up or down) until i get to 7:20.

[@tonygrimes13]

Absolutely no problems with audio.

[@tobiascook0217]

Yeah the audio went to the left side only a couple of times, once at 10:46. It came back each time tho. Quality was okay, it just stopped being stereo sound.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Let there be no doubt. Pigs always size up everything in their lives as a potential food source. You included.

[@user-hn2qq3eb8c]

better to not fall unconscious in a pigpen

[@johnblake3863]

You are fortunate for having those dogs. I love 'em and miss 'em.

[@williamhill9432]

Wes, looks like the pigs are getting friendlier. As I’ve told you before, my wife and I have 9 grandchildren all under the age of 10. The questions they ask are frequent and non ending. Your dear little boy reminds us of our own grandchildren. God Bless!

[@coralawson3059]

"guess i need to go back to bed" never related to anything more in my life 😭

[@williamr.kirkland6317]

Great that your son is observant and curious about so many diverse things. Hope he keeps that throughout his life.

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Wes, you’re getting to be my most anticipated creators! I look forward to each of your videos. I don’t remember why I started watching your channel but I am very glad I did. Thanks much for sharing your videos.

[@falllineridge]

Cool! Thank you!

[@jdgibs3446]

I enjoy your videos. This video quality was good, sound & visual. Blessings to you and your family for all your Godly needs and desires. ☝️🙏🙌💪🎯

[@joebacarella2829]

My audio was fine, I love the content, never a dull moment, always something to do, no rest for the weary, I love the videos, I like to see whats going on. Up here in the North wood is so expensive, they preach to us, measure twice, cut once, I like how you boys do it, measure once, cut 3, heehee, have a great day, keep em coming.

[@chrismong2871]

Try using a shop vac to draw the corn out of of your tote bag. Once it gets down to a lower level you won’t have to cut the bag.

[@paulmonk7820]

Use your shopvac to get the corn out of the 🎒 bag ❤ 😊

[@sharonromer6606]

You remind me of my son in looks and personality...and that's a good thing ❤

[@hardnaaklife]

Siding repair turned out great! I think a pine mullion between the two white vinyl windows would look nice.

[@lanceoge]

Your black dog reminds me of one I had, a lab and beagle mix. Beautiful dog you have.

[@johnwoody4905]

Good video and job. Audio was ok for me and so was video. Good to see little guy. The pigs think you what's for dinner. All of you take care be safe and well

[@falllineridge]

Thanks!

[@rudyrivera7426]

Audio was good to me! Thanks for sharing! 👌👍

[@scottfortune9016]

Love your videos. Just a very real, normal family guy. It's nice see. Thanks for the videos into your life on the homestead.

[@joewnav]

you have a real cute and smart son there! Great video keep them coming

[@geraldjubin8191]

Love it I'm just learning as you go. I'm the same way. Work and get it done as you need to. Great content bud thanks!

[@Jackflash219]

We give our chickens all the grass clippings, and sometimes even get them hay bales. It's amazing how much grass they will eat. Slows them on feed a little, but appears to be great eggs nonetheless. I assume it's because the bugs will come back in the pen with hay vs so called mud slick ground.

[@terryeason4319]

You have absolutely got to love the feeling of reworking your house with lumber you created yourself. Well God created it but you did cut it out of the logs

[@teddie_schaefer1963]

I love seeing these videos. My husband was always fixing our home up.

[@benjamincock5357]

Bees are attracted to sugars released from corn.

[@d.j.robinson9424]

Great job Wes, but "why don't you know what you're doin ?"😂👍👍💚

[@droac3]

I’ve seen bees clean all the “flour” off the top layer of hammer milled sorghum in an open tank in a shed. Every morning it was picked clean by the bees. (Australia)

[@Istarelle112]

I agree with the other comments Wes, I'd get a cheapo shopvac dedicated to corn retrievals. That's a good bag with plenty of uses Id save it too.

[@RA-sz5tu]

you can find bees in corn cribs also, when there's no pollen they gather anything they can

[@don1031]

I know your approach to feeding/watering your pigs is working and you are a great example to your son about the value of hard work. So, well done! That said, if you are going to keep raising pigs, I believe you would be well served to check into ways to feed/water your animals in larger quantities using more durable equipment. This is going to also come into play when you farrow that sow. Have to think there are people no longer using their equipment near you that would sell some of it for a reasonable price. Even if it were not the latest stuff, it would ease your task a great deal. Just something to consider and lots of good people around to help you think it through.

[@alicepennell4989]

Here's a suggestion on how to get the corn feed out of the bag without cutting it, use a shop vac.

[@iain1969]

Great job on the siding! Well done.

[@kellyharbaugh9391]

Yeah, it looks very good. You’re doing a good job.

[@DDL2728]

God bless you for all you do for your family!! Your home is getting fixed up so nicely!! 👍🙏💞

[@brianpaul9767]

You can use a pipe flange fitting with female threads. Should be “nearly” indestructible.

[@richardthornhill4630]

Good progress. Pigs are growing. Maybe need to calculate an expected date for them to go to market and make an appointment with the butcher.

[@falllineridge]

Yep! Been thinking about that very thing.

[@2002samanthablue]

The siding on the house looks great! amazing job! your land is so beautiful, I just love all the trees. Also rooster is super cute. I dont think I have ever found a triangle shaped stone like that before. My boys love collecting stones and nature treasures and when they saw it, they got excited and said we have to go on a treasure hunt for one, I think we will be looking for a while 😂😍 thankyou for creating wholesome content.

[@Philip-wz3ow]

1 idea that might work for your corn sack issue is using a shop vac to suck corn out.

[@cleokey]

Well done, from California 😊

[@markgramlin105]

The bees are after the soybean meal. An amish friend of mine has a bean meal bin that his bees are in constantly.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

I haven't had any issues with the audio. Great job on the wall. Those battens remind me of Grandpa's pack house and his plank tobacco barn. The pigs are definitely warming up to you.

[@jeremy1350]

Hey Mr. Green Jeans. I asked a friend of mine about the Bees in the Corn and this was his response I got this morning. "I have found bees on the ground corn the chickens feed on very often, and it's the fine particles they are after. What they do with them is a mystery to me. Also, I find them in our wood chip pile doing the exact same thing, gathering fine wood particles. Maybe they use it when making propolis?"

[@juliehenry5353]

I hope your supervisor gets paid well 😊

[@falllineridge]

Lots of cereal bars, peanut butter sandwiches, and hot dogs.

[@stevengunter2843]

Looks good got it going your way now!!

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………………………………………………………….House is looking good. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your youngin cracks me up and he’s pretty smart!

[@tonydemeo7480]

I would try to use a shop vacuum to suck the corn out of that bag. Close it up when you’re done. Just a thought. Tony

[@tinydancer7426]

Could be the black dog is looking up at you thinking, "Is that all I get?" 🤨 😄

[@U_ever]

"LIKE" button has been torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK". God forbid you should be running around all over Georgia there with a loose "LIKE" button !

[@jcorbett63]

You might try a couple fender washers on your water barrels.

[@101egals]

When it get lite enough pick it up with your tractor and there should be a bottom like the top so you can drop it out the bottom.

[@randydobson1863]

hello fall line ridge it's is randy 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠😎😎😎😎 and i like yours video is cool thanks 👍👍👍 thanks friends randy

[@michaelsherwin4964]

As an idea to get the corn out of the bag without cutting the bag, maybe using a shop vac would suck out the corn, and you might have fewer buckets to lug off the trailer.

[@davidsbeefarm6156]

The bees are gathering the flower from the corn for protien they will use it similar to pollen.. til the golden opens up.. sound is fine

[@Backwoodsfarmmill]

Love your videos, Im not far from ya. Im over in Upson!

[@aaronwarner2762]

You can empty it one shopvac full at a time. That could work. Might be fast too.

[@buddyreed2623]

Hello Wes. It's looking good. I know by now that you have finished the brackets on the porch posts. Since the last ones had rotten because of the rainwater coming over the porch, could the post be put on a cement pad that is bolted to the porch and the posts bolted to the pads? All of this could be covered with trim that did not touch the porch, 1/2" or so, along each side and on top. Have good days!

[@raywilson800]

Love yall. Little Wes is smart. Pigs are growing. Beautiful.❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@harveystephens6115]

Nice job. Good meat!

These pigs being really skittish will make it easy for you to remember their just meat and not get too close.

[@johnking8679]

I'm hearing your videos loud and clear !! As long as you have the microphone ON and pointing in the right direction !! Thanks for asking, Wes !! Good to see your son briefly - what's his name, please ?

[@ronlheureux7623]

I’m of the thought that they don’t want to give the boys name out. Some person might try using it to draw the boy into being abused. Even if this would be unlikely. Why take the chance.

[@markpriest5841]

Use a. Vacuum to get the corn out of the bag

[@ralphsullender2474]

Getting a few things done you want to do between things you have to do 😅

[@michaeldoherty6170]

Don't know if it would work, but try a vacuum to remove the corn, then transfer to 5 gal bucket

[@karlriley1314]

You should have ship lapped those boards on the side of the house like you did on the ceiling that way you won't have to use battens.

[@HoneyDoHomestead]

Maybe you can use a shop vac to get the corn out without cutting the bag.

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Cut the stitching at the top of the bag to open it out. That way you have a useful sack.

[@TheCalWillden]

Hey Wes, just a thought for you. Have you considered pouring just a few inches of cement into the bottom of the water barrels? This would help keep them steady. Maybe leave 1" - 2" between the top of the cement and the level of the nipples. You could use most anything that has some weght to it.

[@falllineridge]

Have not thought of that, but it's a great idea. Maybe a couple of cap blocks. That would reduce the amount of water that technically gets wasted below the nipples.

[@jimwilloughby]

How many dogs do you have? I always though it was two. Sounds like the beep -beep Jeep needs some work done. I do love the board and batten look of your place, and others in rural settings. Suburbia, not so much.

[@garybessey2184]

Just an idle thought while watching you grind and mix the pig chow.... I realize that you have gotten your own personal methodology going to the point where it works well for you, but it occurs to me that to get a really good mix-up of the finished product, it might be nice to use a small project type of concrete mixer for just before it goes into the tractor bucket. As i mentioned, i realize that your small batch method works fine for you, but i can't help but think it might be easier with a mixer if you get going on a larger requirement.

[@falllineridge]

Yeah I think a concrete mixer would be great. If I can find one at a yard sale one day then maybe.

[@Curtislow2]

Shop-vac the corn out of the bag.

[@stanleysykes3316]

What is the name of your planner? I have one but yours is so much better. I would like to get one like this it looks heavy duty. Great channel!

[@EK--ry3lr]

Clean out a shop vac and hose real well, and suck the corn out? Just a random idea I had.

[@dandugan824]

I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about farming, raising pigs, etc., but maybe you could use a shop vac without the filter to vacuum the corn from that bag?

[@scottfortune9016]

Looks like you subscribe to the old adage, measure twice, cut four times. Lol jk.

[@Bassmaster1256]

Nice video. When you were repairing the spigot on the pigs water bucket was that an electrical conduit nut that you showed and then you put on a regular hex head nut?

[@kellyharbaugh9391]

But we had a big barn built with Oldfield Cason. It was pretty solid might not have that weight capacity on your rafters.

[@falllineridge]

Yeah I don't think these rafters could handle that.

[@jamesreardon8585]

could you roll that bag of corn over with the tractor bucket? Other end should have full access and no "snout"

[@thomasc.pellicer1879]

Maybe use a shop vac and suck up corn .

[@ron.v]

@8:57 You said you really don't know what the bees are after in the corn meal. My guess is sugar. Corn has a lot of sugar in it and when you grind it you must be releasing enough of the sugar to attract the bees. Could that be it?

[@williamhook4412]

What about using a shop vac?

[@timothychristian9140]

Use a shop vac to suck the corn out of the bag.

[@hcso959]

shopvac that corn out

[@kthwkr]

How are you going to keep the squirrels out of that corn?

[@1herbert100]

Don't you think your food for Sue should be free, since you are doing all the labor and providing the water and clean-up? Great video.

[@bdonlazy]

I'd love to hear the reason the bees like the cornmeal, if you ever learn it.

[@tinydancer7426]

I googled "why do bees like cornmeal" and found a variety of sources with a variety of opinions as to why bees like cornmeal. Try it. It was fun reading.

[@bdonlazy]

Thanks! I thought "just google it dummy" as soon as I typed that- but I think it's nice to give feedback for stuff you wanna know from the man himself. I'll google it too, sounds cool. Thanks for the push! Cheers@@tinydancer7426

[@rogerr1296]

On your audio, it's not bad sounding, it's just that the left earphone (left channel?) drops out, on my earphones at least, between the @7:16 and @7:17 mark. Then comes back between @15:33 and @15:34 marks. Looks like you cut from one clip to another and maybe there's some setting in your editing software that got changed or maybe something was changed on the camera between recordings? 🤷‍♂ I may be misremembering but I think it happened on the last video as well. Hope that helps.

[@falllineridge]

Thanks for the feedback, Roger! I'm trying to track down the problem.

[@AfterTheRains]

Pity you covered the window frames instead of framing round them as it seems to look unbalanced.

[@jennifermiller5781]

We are wanting to purchase a grinder for our corn we feed our chickens. We wondered what kind yours is. I know you’ve said but I can’t find that video.
