The rain is forcing me to work indoors!

[@bobbywatson368]

You should do what you're comfortable with brother. We're just along for the ride!

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

Your certainly not boring, I enjoy watching everything you do on your beautiful property. Keep up the great work. 👍🐓

[@g.s.7022]

Thanks for your new video. Please do what is best and right for you. Always happy about new videos from you, the period is not really important. Take care and stay healthy.👍☘️💫🤩

[@richardcompton2555]

Friend, it's your place, your vision, your schedule, your obligations, your channel. As the others have said, we are just along for the ride and enjoy whatever you feel comfortable doing. Just keep doing what your doing. Thanks, Zonaman in AZ

[@LaurenInJersey]

I think a lot of us are interested in seeing you build your homestead. It lets us live vicariously through you. 4-5 videos a week would be great.

[@christinegreenstreet6115]

No I don't think it would be boring at all. I would watch anything you put out. I love your videos and I have learned from them too. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@riwoof]

Like everybody else, I will always enjoy watching everything you post. My only concern is that you don't go through burnout from posting more vids than you have time for. All the time spent editing and uploading can sometimes be a drag. I appreciate all your hard work!

[@martincartlidge4983]

Loving the journey, keep up the great work.

[@lindacole1653]

Enjoy being along with whatever you choose to do. Learn something new every time I watch your video.

[@dianneedwards2491]

I'm not bored because I'm doing the same thing on my property and you are keeping me encouraged. Be safe.

[@cint4347]

You are the hardest working guy on KZbin. Don't worry about how many vids you make. They will stay tuned because you are interesting and innovative . You rock.

[@ridgeviewhomestead3900]

We'll watch anything you post. Daily routines are not boring for your subs.

[@virginiareid5336]

I always enjoy whatever you post. From various building projects, feeding your chickens and animals, and updates on your progresses. They are never boring to me.

[@dangoras9152]

Looking good brother

[@ralphellsworth8140]

I like watching your videos, I don't work I'm on disability because I had back surgery. Your going to have good base for that floor with that clay and shale. You have a good day, thanks for sharing.

[@arliew]

I really enjoy watching your channel and if you are able to post more videos, I would certainly appreciate it.

[@misty4782]

Suggestion for the top of the water barrel that's going in the hen house: make a metal cone shaped topper to just set on top. Doesn't have to be real high, and the chickens will slide off if they try to land on top. (Similar to a squirrel detractor on a bird feeding station.) Hope this helps. Blessings.

[@SpringRiverHollar]

Goodmorning Stephen , I always enjoy your videos and watching the progress on the homestead . Whatever you decide to do , I'll be here watching . Have a blessed day

[@Yoshida83318]

Just do what is comfortable for you.. Enjoying all your videos ..Still Loving the new intro..👍

[@debbietucker3103]

What you do is never boring. I see a hard working man working to reach his goals. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

[@woundeddove]

Today I am 62. I would like you to consider putting a cement slopping drain down the center of your barn. This would allow for easy clean ups.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Happy Birthday!!!!!

[@janetleeharrison]

As long as filming doesn't slow you down or keep you from reaching your goals on time - then I'm all for whatever number of videos you decide to put out each week. Some weeks may have fewer videos than other weeks, and that's understandable and cool with me!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@CleoCastonguay47]

Whatever suits you best. You make'em we"ll watch'em :)

[@drk218]

Never boring always fun to watch what you’re up to. So much hard work though 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@pattyhuxley9509]

We are all just sitting sipping our coffee and following along while you are the one doing all the hard work. That said, you should film your Vlogs when you want to and not be made to feel bad if you take a break from it. I know i miss your Vlogs when you don’t post for awhile, but know you are building a Farm and that is the main reason for you being there. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property, barn, cabin, chickens and pigs with us. 😊

[@Billestlà]

Always great to see what you're up to from here in Canada. Keep them coming please!

[@okskeeter278]

Put the videos out. Watching a farm come together from scratch and showing what all it takes is great information.

[@TonyT-lo2sz]

I enjoy your vidioes. Don't think I would be bored watching 3 or 4 a week. What I like to see is progress.

[@deborahmarquez4029]

Any videos you post are welcome here.....

[@janpetersen750]

We just worry a bit when we don’t hear from you for awhile! Do what’s comfortable for you and let us worry when vlogs are scarce. Personally, I’m not bored by anything you do on the homestead...I’m living vicariously through you!

[@suenorton873]

I say do what you want just give us our weekly video. I so enjoy watching your progress on your homestead. Welcome back.

[@larouter827]

Hickory Ridge Homestead, I'm glad you're back Stephen.

[@sarahbrewer8945]

Whilst I would watch a daily blog it would be a lot more work editing etc for you. I suggest you do 2 blogs a week and you could always add an extra one if you have have any additional projects going on. However, ultimately it’s up to you!

[@Philhoppermiller]

Just a few miles below you in Texas, we have had rains also. Our fields are flooded, our stock has been moved to high ground and the back roads are boogy. But our flowers are starting to bloom and it is getting warmer. An early spring is a welcome sight. I do feel like we will have a few more cold snaps though. So keep your powder dry. Things will work out and someday the barn and house will be finished and you will wonder what to do next.

[@j.m.7056]

Your current upload schedule is fine. Do what makes sense for you!

[@sadiepaddy47]

Yes more videos pleas 🇬🇧👍🎉

[@bettinah.7429]

I have been checking daily to see if you had posted a new video. I knew you were ok from IG. I would happily watch daily vlogs if you make them (you are definitely not boring😉). However,I would not want you to have too much extra work with editing and setting up shots etc. Also,don’t want you to get hurt because you are so busy filming. Whatever works for you is fine. Getting that barn ready for concrete is a heck of a lot of heavy work. It will definitely be worth it when it is done!

[@mmanut]

Enjoy all your videos, your lifestyle is what many many people strive for, BE SAFE‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

[@mrrs8118]

I like your videos because they are different and I learn something every times . Also, I for one would love to see more videos of daily stuff around the farm, most of what some of us can only dream of. Wouldn’t be boring to me! Egg collecting is always fun! 😊

[@garyhughesclokeys]

Stephen just a thought, if you’re going to move the chickens water barrel why not put it up against the wire on the outside of the chicken coop or run and use those nipples they can drink out of. Then the chickens won’t poop on top of barrel and it will be easy to fill, I sent a photo on your Facebook page

[@glenokla4079]

It's looking good Stephen! I'd like more often videos.

[@tammysmith6421]

I don't think anything you do do could be boring, put out as many videos that you want

[@LifeInSerenity]

If your willing to put up a video each day I’m more than willing to watch. 😀.

[@Bunefoo401]

Not bored watching your videos at all ... I like seeing the regular goings on of the animals and your builds. You do what you’re comfortable producing, and we’ll all come along for the ride

[@llihkcor]

I enjoy when you are doing projects. I do not like endless chatter.

[@PointerNation]

I'll watch whatever & whenever you post your videos...no pressure here. Do what works for you. I always learn something new from you...so just keep teaching me. As always, thanks for sharing your story. Take 'er easy. 👍

[@johnpiegzik298]

The barn is coming together nice! The weather sure hasn’t helped either one of us a bit, glad it’s starting to change. My opinion on more videos is... Do what works for you, I will watch all of the videos no matter what!! Have a great week! John 😎👍

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

The rainy spring is just around the corner..

[@sianbentley1527]

Another good vlog. Thank you. Glad you are ok. My grandson was glad to see you working again. Just post when you can. "It is what it is" We are all enjoying the transformation. If you go missing in action, or are busy playing in the mud to post a vlog 😂 . Upload a picture with a few comments. From the UK.

[@AfterTheRains]

Some frustrating heavy work but you’re doing a grand job as usual. Hope your bad weather stops soon and you can get on the way you want to. U.K. is having historical and damaging floods and winds right now. Floods mostly in the south. I am in the north with 60mph winds with torrential rain just now.

[@manellaperry4748]

Doing some awesome stuff on your homestead,glad to see ya back,could put a piece of plastic or tarp on top of the barrell.see ya later good luck.

[@judyedwards7239]

Vlogs are not boring so yes vlog more during the week. Love watching and learning how to do things. Love your property. It is beautiful.

[@ancimargarita2763]

No no nooooo!!! How can you consider that it could be boring watching anybody work as you do? Listen, all you do is interesting. It gives us an understanding of life in a way many could never imagine if not for this. You are always teaching something, you are always with your well taken care and loved animals, all is interesting, warming and fun. When you feed them, when you prepare, repare and build their places, when you show us the property and all your plans for the future. It makes us dream, and somehow it makes us feel "we are there", "we are part of it", even if it is not really so. Will you be getting a dog? Cats? Other animals? I can assure you, you can post a video everyday, cleaning the place, moving things around... whatever you do is good. You will have more and more viewers, because your videos are good stuff. Good quality, made with care and love, hard work and good intention. Continue to let us be part of all of this magical and amazing adventure. IT IS WONDERFULLY INTERESTING, FUN AND FULFILLING. Thank you.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

I will be getting a dog when I get in the house and I will be adding more animals in the near future.

[@ancimargarita2763]

@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 That will be soooo good, dogs are the best blessing a human can have, no other animal knows how to love better or bigger... of course, all animals know how to love, but only dogs are here to teach us the real meaning of the word. As you can tell, i am a little biased jajajaja!!!

[@genegoodman5233]

I think most people just want to see what you do on a reg day, you know, life on the farm. I know several people post daily, I hope it increases their income. Doing good keep it up stay safe

[@skyz3160]

Would it even be a possible consideration to cut a door opening to the chicken coop from inside the barn to keep your water and feed barrels sheltered, handy and clean under a work bench nearby ?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

I moved the barrel inside the coop.

[@rosalynrn]

Very nice. Good job! BLESSED.........

[@judysetran9198]

Hello..again..I think you are doing a great job of sharing the progress that you are making on your homestead.. Thank you for sharing with us

[@PlanetMojo]

My rain is of the frozen type -- we are getting snow here in Wisconsin. Every snowfall requires hours of cleanup, and slows things down to a crawl. As for the videos, I personally like the vlog style stuff because it shows closer to reality. I don't mind the day-to-day stuff myself.

[@rodgerewing1949]

As I begin the process of creating my own little homestead, I appreciate your videos greatly and have learned much just by sitting back and watching you. Nothing about the process is boring, unless this process isn't something the viewer wants to do. Keep posting... 4 or 5 a week isn't necessary, but every post is enjoyed.

[@grassmanfive]

I really miss you when you aren't on so if you want I'm all for a daily or every couple day vlog. We really enjoy your channel and you might make more off utube as well

[@Toby-fp1nf]

I totally concur with Robert Watson. Brother, we watch, like and subscribe because we believe in what you do and how you do it. Upload whatever you want and with whatever content. That's why we subscribed in the first place. It's your farm, your channel.

[@pjmaynes8747]

Whatever fits best for you. Two or three a week would be great.

[@melhowell2906]

It would be nice to see you grow your homestead. but thats what ever you want to do. I love watching you

[@denisemacdonald2062]

Hi there...I too missed seeing you around KZbin 😁 I agree with the people that 2-3 a week are good and that you could post more if you have a project and footage.

[@lilliecunningham7933]

A lot of us would just love to live the life that you are living, but since we can't, I myself just love to see you accomplish whatever you do. Thanks for sharing.

[@dbruce66]

I really enjoy your videos, and I must admit I was looking for your video last week . Just keep up the good work. It’s your deal ,but you do have a following. Thank you! It’s your thang do what you gotta do. 👍

[@bishopmakings9205]

Yes!I enjoyed watching your video me and the boys.

[@lockedin60]

It is frustrating when you specify what you need and they bring the wrong stuff. It is not like a ready-made product where you can take it back if it does not meet your specifications. Who is going to return dirt? But you are a trooper and you are going to make lemonade out of lemons. Will you be doing business with this company again? Or was this the first time they screwed up? I pray that if you are not satisfied with their attitude you have other resources!

[@makena70danielmascas]

👏👍

[@kmarch6630]

It's raining like crazy in Georgia too. Sure does make it hard to put up a cinder block wall. When the ark come by for us we'll come on up there and pick you up.

[@skyz3160]

Hilarious ! 😜

[@janfrench4691]

Look forward to your videos Stephen. But it's a trade-off for you. More time filming & editing = less time doing.

[@dianecharles881]

I actually loved watching the backhoe ! Nothing boring to me .. you just go as you feel led to . Don’t over work yourself . I enjoy your videos . Barn looks great! Remember to plug that freezer back in ! 😂

[@barrysullivan59]

Hiya,hope this day finds you well. Just thought I might suggest you put that barrel high up in the high side of the coop and possibly run guttering off that side of the barn into the barrel giving you a self watering system for the hens. Might be something worth considering as you don't seem to have really constant freezing temps to freeze a water supply. Baz in stormy U/K

[@shortwired2X]

I enjoy your homestead..keep posting

[@AnnieFarmerFarm]

It hasn't stop raining here for all most 2 months it is awful! we also had flooding! I think snow would be so much better! Thats a pretty barn!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

I enjoyed watching your vlog, something different everyday, great channel

[@kerrybaker4512]

I'll watch what ever you put up not boring to me at all .. i would have been happy to watch getting that packer thing working and yeah leave the high stuff till it's safe

[@mmanut]

Looks like it packed real good‼️. Like it, Great Job👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

[@jcyran]

I would love to see 2 or 3 a week. I watch Lumnah Acres and while it is repetitive in parts, it is soothing and enjoyable to me. Your vlogs are always interesting!

[@gregkahle9046]

I agree 2-3 would be great. I watch as well, haven't commented but was kinda hoping Al would start to mix it up a bit. Do like his routine posting. I guess when you post that often it gets tough to find new stuff/ideas/content. Take care.

[@shartne]

Change the oil in the compactor machine dont run it with dirty oil. Oil is not that expensive. I borrowed a machine one time for the same reason but it was concrete finisher and I in a hurry and didnt change the oil when I think back about the I think it would have been more appreciative of the use of the machine to change the oil. Good luck with your concrete job. Looks like you could use a little bit of that shale out side in front of the door where water is standing and making a mud hole for you to walk through and drive through. It looks really good what you got done.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

The front will eventually get shale and gravel.

[@maryallen6334]

Personally I want to see at least a vlog every week or I start to wonder if you're ok. It can be frustrating sitting here, hoping no-one has hurt themselves and far too far away to do anything about it. Besides which I am happy to watch daily vlogs, especially once you start back on your house. I can watch carpentering for hours!!

[@cherolynwolf5913]

I think it’s interesting, watching you create a dream

[@armidaperez5360]

Like the weekly you keep the content good enough to keep intrest up.. and not bore people...its for us to watch at your pace not ours...your only one person do what you can...another informative week👍

[@bobjoncas2814]

..lookin' good, comin' right alright....great vid..

[@nightsong28540]

I'll watch you whenever you put out one. Do what you feel like doing, (if most are like me) I enjoy watching what you are building, doing and seeing your animals. You are building a place that when done, you can sit on the porch and enjoy the view and the feeling of accomplishment knowing you built this. I know my hubby and I felt that way, enjoyed it and couldn't believe we did it. Stay safe, be careful, take it easy and stay warm and dry..

[@julieivers7375]

Although I like the idea of daily vlogs, that's a lot of extra time editing. Glad you're ok though, did wonder. Love watching what you're doing.

[@Clothis64]

It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos, however, you have to save some time for yourself because a daily vlog would take a lot of time.

[@vickiraab5921]

I agree

[@lindasmith9520]

I am a dedicated fan and have enjoyed all of your videos. A daily blog would be great although time consuming for you. I am amazed at what you have accomplished by yourself and know one day your dream will come true. Very inspiring to me.

[@pjmaynes8747]

Hope your leg is ok.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

my leg is fine. One has been broken a couple of times and its just a little shorter than the other one.

[@mbsloop1272]

A skid steer would be handy.....

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

yes it would.

[@jdc5941]

Glad to see you're still kickin.😁 Daily vlogs would be of interest to me and I bet many people, 3 days a week maybe. Your videos are not boring, FYI. Take care friend, keep on pushin. From a subscriber in Iowa.

[@georgezgreek]

once a week vlog be awesome doesn't matter what your doing, even if its just feeding the animals or just daily stuff a vlog is better than no vlog .

[@lancejones8591]

Love the channel! Keep the videos coming.

[@tulasu6664]

I’m not bored with your content, either, but I’ve noticed daily bloggers sometimes burn out. Why not figure out what works for you? Guessing we’ll all be happy with whatever we can get.

[@mikemarriam]

I kept waiting for a shot of the freezer to make sure you plugged it back in. Saw you did at the very end. Thanks for the video. Have you thought about running tubes for radiant heating before you pour? Even if it took awhile to install the rest it might be worth it.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Im not going to do radiant floor heat in the barn. One of these days if I build a shop I might and I will have it in the house for sure.

[@SnakePliskenDK]

I love your channel and style... Don't do a video per day... Think you're right... A lot of people on KZbin pushing video with out content... Once or twice a week... And you will probably not burn down as easy as well... Enjoy 👍😀

[@jerylynbean7634]

It's really special watching someone building their dream, Stephen. You are so talented at what you do It is never boring. If you keep the animals in the video each time it stays more relevant. I hate to see you still limping. Maybe a good farm boot would help by giving more support. I've only seen you wear tennis shoes. Show us how the eggs go and count out sometime. God Bless

[@gregcram7975]

I ONCE FOUND A SOIL COMPACTOR LIKE THE ONE YOUR USING ,,,IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND I PARKED MY CHEVY TRUCK BY INTERSECTION. DRUG THAT MACHINE OVER TO MY TRUCK. ,,BUT I COULDN'T LIFT IT INTO MY TRUCK. ,,I LEFT IT ON THE SIDE WALK FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO GET. !!!!

I'm sure the person who lost it was looking for it. Crazy what you find that slid out of people's trucks.
