Stone House Progress The Roof is Nearly Done : Homestead Takes an Unexpected Turn!

It is so wonderful to see a couple still so in love and having fun with each other all the time!!!

I have a slightly different perspective of a laughing woman convincing her ‘beloved’ husband to touch a live electric fence😬😱 maybe I’ll feel different when my divorce is over!

[@alidabotes6264]

​​@Aidan-tu4un Good luck with that!! 😅😅😅

[@Lovingbeinglost]

With the electric fence,make sure your batteries have a full charge. It is very important that the fence does not touch or lay on the ground or vegetation. Clear a path where the fence is. You can raise it a little whch will help. A fence that is touching vegetation loses its bite. It takes that path instead of giving a jolt to the pigs. Message us if you need any further help. Rose & Michael

[@THESCOTTERS]

Good call! We definitely need to jiggle it about and clear it more, thank you for the offer of help 😊

[@sallyscanlan7269]

Yes you can’t have anything touching it!

Lovely treat seeing you on a Friday night ❤

[@THESCOTTERS]

Yay thank you ☺️

[@insAneTunA]

I would advise to create several smaller sections with gates, then you can apply the rotational grazing method, and put them inside another section before they completely destroy the entire field. Then the electric fence will work better and that way the section that has been grazed can recover much faster and provide enough fodder for the next round of grazing. And it is also recommended to sow a mix of seeds in the old pig pen from whatever it is that they like to eat, or any other area after it has been grazed. Otherwise it will be hard to keep up with their appetite. You can google what the best mix of seeds would be. There are plenty examples. Clover, alfalfa, wheat, amaranth, rye, sugar beets, sunflowers, are just a few examples. There are many more plant species that are good for pigs.

[@alidabotes6264]

I just love that the community members are always ready to give advice. I bet it makes these homesteaders lives so much easier.😊😊

So funny when Badger tested the fence and his reaction lol Great work on the tiles going over the valley Badger. Monty is so funny cleaning the pigs lol and Scrumpy is definitely an escapologist, hopefully you can find a solution that works to keep him where he is allowed x

the roof is lookiing amazing - and the pigs gave me quite a laugh also we had an electric fence and it looks like you have a disconnect some where along the line some wires are not connected check power along the line and you'll get where there is a break

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you!! We will do ☺️

[@jackiesaylor2487]

Try Premier 1 fencing. They have fencing for all types of animals, they're square hot wires. You might also just want to try adding one or two more solar battery chargers around your current wires and maybe try getting a wire tester and save yourself from getting zapped. (Also mow the grass under the wires and about 12 inces each side of the fence so no branches or grass ground out the wiring.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Oh awesome thank you I will look in to it and thank you for he advise 🐷☺️⚡️

[@troothseeker7312]

If you want to keep cuni cuni pigs in watch another KZbinr Lumnah Acres. Al and Gina are the couple in New Hampshire that have a homestead in New Hampshire, USA. They have cuni cuni pigs as well as other livestock They have three females in one area and then a male in a pen all by himself. They have it this way so they can breed them in better weather.If you ask them they could tell you how they do it. They build everything themselves on their show. Al also has a podcast he does once a week with 2 other farmers from different areas in the US.

[@markdickinson3123]

Easy way to test stock fencing is to use a blade of grass, hold on the wire about 4 inches away with fingertips then slowly move them closer to the wire. The blade of grass acts like a reducer and reduces the shock to a tingle. 👍

The roof looks great. When there is a problem, I can almost see Badgers brain working to solve it.

I think that an electric fence isn’t supposed to touch any grass or shrubs or metal posts because it will short it out.

Nick from Project Portugal uses construction steel wire mesh to do the fences for is Kunes

[@kassy6373]

They are too small for the single line. If you had lines at different heights with the charged one in the middle so there is contact when trying to get through it might work better. Then again no guarantees for Scrumpy. Also excellent puzzle solving.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Oh my gosh wouldn’t that be amazing! 🐷

[@ginkodragon]

Your roof is looking beautiful and im so glad that youve put in skylights too! Yes, pigs are escape artist, i guess because they are so smart! If you are using an electric fence to keep them penned in, the wires cannot touch any vegetation or it will ground the electric current. Have you thought about making a modular fence that could be moved from one area to the next? And shouldn't the children be doing some of the work around there? I grew up on a chicken farm with 10,000 chickens. As kids, my sisters and I had to feed the chickens and collect the eggs every day, as well as help with gardening, cooking, and cleaning!

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you! Yes I think that’s the main problem we need to clear around it 🤔 The children help a lot but they don’t get home from school till 5:30 and it’s already dark so they help out at the weekends at the moment ☺️

[@ginkodragon]

Your children are beautiful and very charming! But 5:30pm is pretty late! That is a long day at school! We would just love to see them more.

[@chrisseaborn4739]

Many decades ago, too many lol. To test the fence I used a blade of grass, made damp, and used that against the live wire, you'll just feel a slight tingle. I'd be pretty certain these days there'd be a gadget to do the testing, but blades of grass are free. If the live wire is touching any vegetation it will short out. Once a naughty pig, always a naughty pig. It all depends why you have them in the first place, farming or pets. Love the show. Cheers from OZ.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Yes we should prob test with the grass 🫣⚡️ I think we need to clear it your right! Yes I think he will always be a naught pig 😂🐷

Badger & Kayla you both did a Wonderful job tiling the roof. Two tilers now available, at the Scooters homestead, Wow!!!. I loved the little dog cleaning the pigs ears. Scrumpy, just knows he is part of the family, and yes you will need the strongest fence possible. He is very intelligent, so yeah it will be a lot of work, until the electric fence is working or the strongest fence is in place.

[@THESCOTTERS]

😂 Thank you so much!

[@knelson5442]

I was focused on my coffee right before I looked up and thought, “That’s Kayla….on the roof!” You looked so natural and you had some crazy blue plumage in your hand. I’m still smiling. Then Badger starts in on his wild kingdom banter. It was just the perfect episode made even better by Badger’s electrocution. Great fun.

Just so you know, your pigs will continue to try that fence another FYI always bucket a train your pigs Here in the US, we have electric fencing from a place called premiere one. It works on cows, horses pigs, you name it I don’t know if they have it there but you can ask.

Get a fence tester so you can test it at the end of the run. It probably is earthing through leaves. You could strim under it to stop earthing.

[@Rubyglass59-]

Sorry to tell you but you will most likely need to get chain link fence to keep those pigs in. At least the one you call Scrumpy. Also prob need to add large stones or cement blocks all around perimeter to prevent digging under. Chain link can be pricey here in U.S., not sure about in your area, but only option is a rock or block wall, which is very labor intensive and also not cheap..good luck! Love ypur channel.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Ah I think your right we will look in to it ☺️

[@pammcfarland1727]

Your piggies are really funny. I think you need something like a jackery and a large solar panel. A few days for rain and the fence won’t work. Would make a great sponsor with using the pigs. Have a great weekend❤

Pigs are so Houdinis! It was always so hard to keep the pigs in when we had them and to get them back in when they got out. This is what all the warnings were about. Those shocks can for sure shake you up for a while. I saw someone else post, with the electric fence you have to make sure it isn't touching anything else. That can be quite a process. Good luck! The roof is looking good.

[@shehazi695]

[@aidenjohns8248]

wonder if you could use one of those shock dog collar's, you get one with a boundary marker, like an electric fence, but hidden and the shock come from the collar not the fence, so when the Dog/Pig go near the wire it triggers the collar.. Invisible boundary fence.. either that or harras fence panels like you see on building sites.. or last resort apple sauce?.. good luck..

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thats such a great idea I will look into it as we would love them to be able to roam ☺️

[@ritchieblackmore5204]

Guys you can get electric fencer units that runs off the mains but if you got one don't test it with your hands because he's got one hell of a kick who will make you go quite dizzy but it won't kill the pigs, and try netting, and the pig most probably went through the fence because you have got a really long run and with battery powered fencer it's most probably got weak, a mains powered one won't, worth you looking into

[@THESCOTTERS]

Ok thank you for the advice unfortunately we don’t have mains so it’s going to have to be off solar but maybe I need a bigger battery? ⚡️🫣
