Our DIY Homestead FAIL | Here’s What Went Wrong

[@nicolagalton9457]

Seeing and hearing Bee now, in October 2024, makes us realise how unwell she was pre-op. Well done Bee! Top girl xx

[@LoriLawrence-tj9xt]

I agree! It makes me realize how much she was pushing through while working on the other off grid property.

[@isabelfarist221]

It is so wonderful to see the two of them now. They are the happiest and goofiest they ever been ❤❤❤❤❤

[@shallnotbeinfringedupon202]

I was thinking the same thing! Thank God for a cure!

[@Moonlightdance58]

Her transformation is amazing! I love her joy!

[@cd2290]

So proud of the work she’s done to get to a better place physically and emotionally ❤❤❤ Brave, beautiful and strong!

[@suzettelinder9044]

I love when Bea tells the chickens and the goats Good Morning. It's Wonderful

[@suzettelinder9044]

I think you should add some cat fish. There the bottom feeders and they taste good.

[@DebGibson-hz6uw]

You 2 joking and laughing together while making the milk stand warmed my heart. So nice Bea to see you healthy and well and not seeing Theo alone while you were away resting up. I always worried about him alone in case of an accident or emergency!!! God bless the doctors who diagnosed you correctly and helped you.❤❤

[@joeebear]

I would like to suggest removing the pine limbs from your pond because of the leaching of pine oils into your pond. Also, pine needle can make your water acidic. You can do better with waterlilies which provides excellent cover for fish and helps keep the water clean.

[@sovereigns1grace]

I was thinking the same thing!! Fish are sensitive to what is in the water. I was cringing when they said what their plan was.

[@jellies6996]

I’ve seen people put a bucket of grains for the goat to munch on while the goats being milked

[@Sweetpeas12]

Lovely to see you both so happy without the stress of illness. What a fabulous lifestyle 😊

[@thizizliz]

I believe that together, you 2 could design anything. What a team. It really is fun to see you create solutions and make your place better suited to how you want to use it. Especially when purchased alternatives are so much more expensive. I'm enjoying the 2x a week posts - thank you.

[@sandratweedale2579]

I’m wondering if in the evening Theo actually sits down. Does he put his feet up and relax? You two seem so happy and it’s an absolute delight to hear B laugh. Those animals are so blessed to have such a great mom and dad 🥰👵🇨🇦👋

[@theindieprojects]

Thank you 🙏 I find it hard to sit still So I got fishing most nights 😅

[@user-hh3iv7dn2l]

Bee- you’re such a pleasant person. Thank you for being you. And Theo incredibly genius

[@Tonja.Hoffman]

Bea, I’ve been meaning to tell you how nice it’s been lately to see your sunshine coming through. Your humor and commentary has been hilarious! I’m so happy to see you happy and enjoying life together. I’ve been watching you two since you bought the off grid property. You both are just the kindest folks. Your love for each other and your furry family is just wonderful and I’ve truly enjoyed watching. Looking forward to seeing what the future brings for you both. Keep up the great work. Best regards, Tonja

[@maureen8930]

I am so happy for you with your goatmilking stand 🥰🥰🥰

[@lisagallo1745]

I've known cows and goats to start lactating again, without having another baby, because of deep affection for their carers. So easy to see how much they love you!

[@lmelki89]

I haven't watched you guys for some time and I'm SHOCKED at how GOURGEOUS bee is looking. Girl you look healthy, happy, more than ever!

[@michellebeck7832]

I feel like your Autisum & ADHD are your super powers. You guys have amazing skills, work so well as a team & have achieved so many wonderful things in your lives. You are smart & funny & so kind ❤

[@eileenmetzkow8475]

Theo, you can put a metal bracket on the goat milker stand where the head goes to strengthen the one side that’s weak so it doesn’t break off. HAVE YOU SOLD THE OFF GRID PROPERTY YET? DO YOU STILL HAVE THE HOUSE IN THE CITY?? 😊😊😊💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@crystallindsey3835]

Now you need a pond pump for a fountain to help air rate the water. Very nice.

[@samday9328]

Solar powered of course!

[@marthaboal5818]

So tickled for these 2vids a week....I feel so spoiled !!!

[@philbisi2057]

Try cutting up a pool noodle to shrink the gap and add some cushion to keep her comfortable. It should make it less likely that she’ll want to pull out.

[@chezmoi42]

What a nice idea!

[@MokaByte1]

Pipe insulation will work as well.

[@luigiscola2282]

You are by far the best on KZbin I always look forward to watching the next vid!

[@beckydouglas5757]

The joy of life looks glorious on you two!

[@janetbendes9216]

Wa-hoo,👏👏👏 Great job on both projects Bea and Theo. Such a joy to ride along with you on your tractor, I had a blast and hung on for dear life. Bea on thee other hand managed like a pro. It's a feeling of accomplishment to thee end. The pond look's exceptionally refreshing on your hot days. Such excellent ideas and imagination...🐟🐠🐟🐸 Enjoy😊

[@sandramarc4858]

The change in Bee is incredible..that operation was miraculous for her 🙏🙏🙏

[@susanB24F]

Another fun video! Love the recycled goat milking station

[@shehazi695]

The milk miracle… gratitude for the love and connection you have 😊🙏🏽🐐

[@carollawrence7506]

Welcome back Bee, it's so loverly hearing you with laughter, excitement, and smiling . I just love watching what the two of you get up to. Baby, the kitty is so cute.

[@Moonlightdance58]

You guys are so cute. I love your videos. They make me smile!

[@ianleonard2983]

I always like to see a tidy workshop !

[@StephenFozzy]

Love watching you guys you both work so hard it’s great to see Bee doing a lot of the videos. You’re looking great Bee it’s lovely to see.

[@eileenderheim3768]

Theo, i believe you could build just about anything if you set your mind to it, and just love Bee's love and interaction with her animals.

[@patriciasiefert7140]

Love watching! Keep them coming!

[@donzinette]

Oh my goodness - cuteness overload with Matilde in that milking structure you built. Well done!

[@krisztinaenyingi-nagy8725]

My grandmother's grandparents had a same chair like your goat milking one, we still have it. It's heartwarming to see a similar ancient "desing" so far from us in Hungary. ❤

[@maryannknox7158]

Love 💞 your natural hair color so gorgeous

[@theindieprojects]

Thank you so much 😀

[@user-fs6ou3fk9p]

Hello from the beautiful state of Oregon in the Pacific NW of the US. It's wonderful to see you both healthy and thriving.

[@scumpert]

Bee, you're an absolute star! Well done for jumping in the freezing pool!

[@roseanneberrios7174]

You should probably put a small ramp for the goat to step on the platform easily.

[@racebanning6390]

Measuring the Goat !!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣LMAO, that was Funny Theo. Made my day. Im quite dizzy today , side effect from the stroke i experienced 3 years ago. I miss doing so many things i used to do. So its nice to see you building and driving tractors on the Ol Miracle Mountain. I enjoy everything you both do..... memories of my former life. Be blessed and prayers🙏🙏💙🔧🛠️🔧🏁🏁

[@kathleenlynch5763]

Sorry about what happened to you.some things take a long time to get over.i can't do as much as I did.ie 78 and back problems.but it's lovley to watch Theo and Bee working aroung thier property.you feel a part of it don't you.take care.💐💐

[@LilianaLepore-r7b]

What a team! 😊

[@cynthiasmith9895]

1st time commenting. I've watched you for years and have feared for your serious challenges and rejoiced when you overcame them, but there's so much joy you can get from your pond without harming the fish. Cheat fishing isn't fair. Fish DO feel pain! Please don't expose them to sport fishing with your friends. How unkind to bring them into your pond just to torment them. Learn from them and from your own experiences. Enjoy your life on Miracle Mountain. I am glad you are happy. Please give that same enjoyment to those that you bring to live there.

[@hvanderp578]

Totally agree

[@pamelarw58]

Bee I love that you LOVE your animals so much because you are so kind!! Sorry I laughed when you screamed when something touch your leg in Pond 😆 Theo you always make carpentry look effortless! Stay well & happy & btw your property looks so lush & amazing! ❤🌻🌺🌹

[@LilianaLepore-r7b]

Sending you both an encouraging big hug from Italy. You're an inspiration ❤

[@t.stewart432]

Put a feed basket on front and she will look forward to being in it.

[@sylviajones4907]

Way to go, both of you! Productive projects well done. Bea, you are brave to get in the pond. Poor Mathilde...hope she heals from her mastitis.

[@theindieprojects]

Thanks! Fingers crossed for Matilde, she can’t feel good 😢

[@shabbysuse7821]

So entertaining, brilliant work!

[@MokaByte1]

I was also concerned about pine branch with the needles in the pond. So I asked Alexa. She said the log was okay, but the the needles can hurt the fish, and possibly get into their gills and give them trouble breathing.

[@RedPhone-mz5lv]

Do you collect pine cones as fire lighters they work really well and a basket of them in the house smell lovely

[@theindieprojects]

We do 😀

[@bagginsone]

Best laugh of the day

[@maureen8930]

Bee you only have 2 goats I thought you had 4 ❤

[@escapetothequinta]

Love the pond, love the content and love the animals!!!!!

[@cathyfrankland9158]

It is so so noticeable how happy you both are now, you almost glow with smiling!! I am so very pleased that things are going better for both of you, but don't stress too much if you can't make 2 videos per week, we definitely don't want you burning out 🫂🫂

[@doncolincreative]

Bee your hair is really nice. You look great!

[@12snapper43]

I think turtles would enjoy that floating log to bask on.

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

Hey Theo, I sure love y’all all your ideas what to do in that pond and such you and me are a team together you work side-by-side for many years as I have with my wife to each other that way

[@sharonmaruca382]

Hi Theo and Bee. It's so great seeing your life on miracle mountain. I can't wait to see how all your projects turn out. I love the way you treat your animals like family. And, I also love your hair today Bee (Oct. 1, 2024) 😊 Keep up your good work and your health. I'll see you every week. Sharon, Yuma Az in the desert, USA

[@lornahardin4563]

I totally love your videos, you two are so funny and ambitious, not to mention creative. Keep em comin!

[@jimmyandlindamagner6716]

lmaoooo@Bea and her cases of giggles throughout this whole video!!! hahahahaha.... (and the looks on Theo's face - he's not egging her on, is he????) laffin over here!!!!

[@tonivince589]

Bee, you said your self confidence was at an all time low, it shouldn’t be. You look radiant! Love that you’re growing your hair too. ❤❤❤

[@amandaantoinetteshort946]

LOL... chuckles here... 'Bye see you later' LOL

[@daffs0]

I was laughing so much with you thank you made my day ❤😁

[@peterclewes7073]

great to see u getting the pool how u want it

[@nickydavis893]

Great episode! How is the new kitten doing?

[@susanalbone5101]

Great video. Lots of experimentation but you don’t know till you try. Take care, keep safe. 💕 Dorset, UK

[@blinkutboy]

It would look cool if you guys had large log flooting in the pond for turtles and frogs and birds to land on

[@doreleimcmillan7924]

Those white logs would make great legs for a table if they aren't rotten because they are beautiful. Theo could make one in no time. Might also make a good milking stool. Congrats on the milking stand. You look pretty and I think it's your brown hair growing back. Love your vlogs.

[@theindieprojects]

They would be so lovely but sadly they’re completely rotted through so utterly useless for that but useful for the local bugs and such ❤️

[@ednarichardson3442]

I am amazed have well Bee look.....I thought she was just getting out of working on the first home and I felt sorry for Theo....but Bee was really Ill....my bad...

[@victoriakopp1483]

Bea, I love your glasses. They look very good on you. 😊

[@celiasnyman2885]

That HUGE brown pot thats lying where you cut Gingye's branch, will look fantastic in your pond

[@juanitakauffman6336]

Bea your descriptions are so entertaining. Was that the first swim in the pond?

[@cathybrewer8958]

You two are something else! Such a fun video again.

[@bowlingbill9633]

Their is no way i would get in the pond without anything on my feet 😅😅😅

[@theindieprojects]

The only other option where my cheap sliders which would have slid right off so 🤷‍♀️ 🤣

[@bowlingbill9633]

@@theindieprojects 😅🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Theo,and B I’m so happy to see you’ve got your goat milking platform and it’s so wonderful to see youse having such a wonderful time together. Keep up the good work guys keep smiling and loving each other to the max Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia. 🇦🇺 We’re on the big island 🏝️

[@bogbel1]

For the life of me I can't understand why you didn't put the milking stand in a vehicle and drive it most of the way.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love and enjoy watching your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and Theo and working on the homestead and getting ready to milk the goat

[@theindieprojects]

Thanks so much

[@poemsforgod2548]

The milking stand I saw at Coghill farm had a feeding trough to keep their attention

[@maureen8930]

The pond looks Great 🎉🎉

[@Effie4106]

I love the natural color of your hair. It keeps getting better and better as it is growing.

What a pleasure it was to share your very productive morning with you. Loved it all. Thank you very much. 😀🙏🏼🦋🌺🐝💖

[@karinlynncumming5397]

Like your hair Bee…your natural colour is lovely and it’s growing and it suits you.

[@cicikids3035]

Bee you are doing so well. ❤ both of you from 🇨🇦

[@DebraCarey-r8c]

At the risk of sounding out of the loop, where's Gingi Bear?

[@carolynasfour5644]

There's a hand milker that's really fast and comfortable for the animal, you can find one in the things for sheep milking, Sandi Brock has a channel about her sheep, I think there's some really good information on her channel, even with dealing with mastitis. But the milker is a simple hand pump, like a spray bottle and it has a really nice container you can put directly in the fridge for storage.

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

Theo, walk sideways both of you when you are carrying anything g. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lindacade3975]

In the US, we have foam tubes that are split on one side lengthwise to insulate pipes. Perhaps lining the opening for the goat 🐐 stand's head holder with something like that foam would make the opening smaller and be more comfortable for the goat.

[@123Daisy5]

Your hair looks really nice, I like it longer. Don’t put yourself down , you’re a lovely lady , with a super personality . I love your love for animals too. X

[@marilynlanger1932]

Natural hair color, beautiful. Where are the fish in the pond actually coming from?

[@skyeseaborn1170]

I love you two! That’s a great goat milking stand.❤

[@kayashmore4296]

You could put a strip of wood along the outer edge of the head cut out area where the knot hole fell out couldn't he? Added security! Bri had a milk cow & on her stand she had a secured rope to loop over the top of the movable side & it held her cow fine. Now for a shelf in front of it to put feed in then she will be happy.👍

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

It looks like you guys are having a lot of fun with the pond. We know where all those fishing spots are. Hehe. Looking good guys.Sending Best wishes for wonderful autumn from Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.

[@clarepickering2223]

At 34:57 can you see that vertical cloud formation beyond the mountain behind you? Looks like a twister or a water spout 🌪️ 😉

[@natalielong8713]

When Theo talked about measuring the goat, I busted out laughing, thank you !!!

[@aletademarco4155]

Hope you oks dont use pine in your ponds. Has oils and acidity in pine needles will damage water PH for fish and plants. Same as you dont use it in fireplace. Love seeing you both happy and enjoying this wonderful mountain property! Enjoying your extra videos! Good on you both!❤

[@miriammuskal5402]

You guys are really nice

[@margaretspignardo5588]

9:31 😂🤣😂 Theo.

[@judyherman1249]

Pine trees in a fish pond will lower the ph balance to a possibility dangerous level. You're better off using a hard wood like oak or cherry for your fish pond.

[@lesleyharris525]

Hi, the logs will sink after being in water for a few days, (waterlogged) i would suggest removing the pine tree as the natural oils are problematic, the best cover for the fish to hide is plants, rush and waterlilies are a good choice, and any native plants, i would plant a weeping willow on the shoreline lovely for Bea to sit under while you fish, 😅 like she has time, but maybe one day. ❤

[@tomtom2806]

I think that at first Mathilda might think that the new device was some kind of scaffold.

[@maryellencook9528]

Great video! Theo, if your friends watch your channel, they WILL know where the fish are because you told your viewers.

[@deborahwhite2339]

Awesome vid guys! 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

How amazingly beautiful your land is ….I’m sure you’re focused on all you have to do with it. Wondering if you have any plans for the inside of your house ? Curious about your off grid cottage and if you’ve had any offers ? Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for you. ❤❤

[@rolandtb3]

Tie concrete foundation blocks to the tree limbs. Then use your canoe to position. Either with a graduated pole stick or string with weight, estimate the depth first.
