I used to see those compactors in paper mill. They compact the scrap paper then band it haul it to were the process starts a dump it back in. Those snacks look awesome. Can't wait to see the door. Welker farms has an interesting big door too.

Hard work. Worked on a small dairy in 1965. 46 cows. As foe here in Oregon. This morning 7 am was still dark. And at 5:30 this eve was getting dark fast. Love the vids. Almost 80 now. Brings back some fond memories.

Good morning everyone! The little black kitten sat on the towel cart so patiently, just waiting for some milk, did it get a taste? My weekly loaf of bread just went in the oven, I started just letting it rise in the pan once some time ago. It saves so much time and I enjoy the texture better, the air pockets are larger (more room for butter or jam). Now the bake sale is complete, maybe you can get some time to relax, a least just a bit. Have a safe and blessed week.

Wonderful and Informative video Ronda! The information shared in the milk parlor about cows and their "abilities" was really enjoyable. Not to mention (selfishly) the update on the shop progress and how the hydraulic motor will be incorporated was really cool! Don't ever think that what you, Kevin and the family present isn't enjoyable and informative, because we look forward to the content each time! Denise also mentioned that your hard work with the bake sale is to be commended! To spend 17 hours in one day in the kitchen, if we had a way to order some of your bunt cakes we would! May you, Kevin and the family have a great week! Thanks so much for your efforts in sharing! Blessings to you all.

So at the moment we get dark at 5.15 and at mid December we get dark by 4.45. Mid June when we look to the northern sky there is always a bit of light on a clear night. At 54degrees north we have long winter nights but only 3 hours darkness in mid summer. Our temperatures are seldom below freezing and rarely in the eighties Fahrenheit. That’s Ireland 🇮🇪

You guys (and gals) are going to love working in that shop area. Hopefully you have a good heat source to heat it on the cold days if you are working in it. Rhonda, tell Kevin and the guys to consider some LED shop lights in there. They give off good light with low current draw. My Dad has used them in his garage and had pretty good luck with them. We have had a few fail but they work pretty well and are not that expensive. Maybe 35 or 40 bucks a piece.

Cool idea for that huge door to use hydraulic . The door can also be used when open as a small covering for rain/snow if you back something into the shop to keep you dry momentarily. Door/Roof covering to shield out the elements. Guess a automotive lift wouldn't come in handy in the new shop,like tucked in a corner that may not be used. Would come in handy for oil changes and repairs underneath though. I can see it now,Kevin found a automotive lift at a auction in future episodes to come. Beats lying on your back to work on auto issues,possible welding repairs. Heavy duty hoists come in handy.

Hydraulic doors are pretty common on farm shops or machine sheds. 1 have a 18x30 ft Powerlift Door and that company offers up to 60ft wide models or custom built to 100 ft wide. Yes, its nice for shade or keep rain off if you want to work on something outside when it's warmer.
