The REALITY of what's going on! Stressed and Being Truthful

[@samjunod]

Don’t worry about Lambeau, he’s not bothering us! 😉 For real, he’s easy to take care of and he earned his keep at the Nativity. You do need to make a plan with your new bff Flintster to tackle that fencing. We’re going to need your help, my back has been bad and I can’t do that kind of work. You and Danielle took rough, raw land and have done a ton so far! Keep on keeping on! ❤

[@sunkissed5889]

That’s very kind of you ! Love your channel!

[@kimgardenhirekg]

This y’all guys are amazing people

[@rosearnold1220]

Sam you are a doll. I agree. He needs Flints help. Have Brandon help.

[@cherishelf8759]

Plus we love seeing that wild and crazy guy Flint in videos with the even crazier Jason. You two are precious people.

[@corriestrauss3340]

Hi Sam, hope you had a quick fun time in Florida. Thank you for taking care of Lambeau. That will be fun to see Flint and Jason tackle and finish the fencing. You and Flint are the BEST😘😘

[@lafarrar8000]

I have subscribed to your channels over the years. I am 74 years old and I am a woman, married, with several children. I do not often comments. Mostly I figure that you and Danielle talk about what you want to achieve together and you need little input from people who don't know you well. That said, I feel a sense of importance to say a few words and then let you do what you decide to do. Danielle has recently made a decision to do what is best for her by continuing to work in the healthcare area. I applaud her for making that decision. Mostly people only get one or two times in their life to make important decisions and she decided to go with her heart. Hoo-RAY!! All that said, sometimes, as I've watched the progress that you've made over the years, I've noticed that sometimes you both make decisions that are base less on rational thought and more on emotional needs. Well, you are both adults now and your lives together are slipping away because of some emotional decisions you've made. If your primary focus is on the two of you being together and building a life together and a family, the clock is ticking. I say get rid of everything in your lives that prevent you both from being together and making a family - even if it is ALWAY only you and Danielle. You are not giving your animals the best you have because you both have not enough time to do that. You are not giving yourselves the best because you both have not enough time to do that. In general, your lives have spiraled out of control just at the time that you made the GREAT decisions to sell Shoot Dang and begin again. So, why make the same mistakes over and over again. You cannot support all the animals you have . . . there is not enough time or money or energy to do all that. Be really smart. Cut back on your responsibilities and begin with the very basics. First, a home. You have not had a home ever. You bounce from pillar to post, in town, on the ranch, in the camper, at the building, and /or on the road. Make decisions and stick to them. There will be plenty of time to have goats and dogs and cattle and emotionally rewarding animals once you have the basics covered. I have read many of the previous comments that advise you to keep the animals. I don't agree. Keeping the animals is an emotional decision, not a rational one. Animals are NOT your children no matter how emotional you feel about them. You have made a great decision selling Shoot Dang and starting over. Now continue making smart decisions and put yourself and Danielle and your life together FIRST!!! In six months of just taking care of yourselves, without animals, you will have made more progress than you ever thought possible. AND, you won't have any diversions - baby goats, pigs, turkeys, puppies, etc. - to keep you and Danielle from handling problems in your life. Give yourselves a SIMPLE, UNCLUTTERED chance!! I'm praying for you both and asking God to hold you in the palm of His hand. Trust your hearts and trust your wisdom. You BOTH have much! Leslie Ann

[@hollysmom250]

I feel the same.

[@cherishelf8759]

Well said.

[@tinybubbles263]

Well said. Jason is most likely hanging onto animals because they are his security blanket and they never leave him like other people have. This time he needs to let go of Animals and work on a home and his relationship with Danielle. She works her butt off. 😊

[@celestechristie666]

I agree 💯

[@janicemacdonald6295]

Very wise and excellent advice.

[@yo4967]

Sometimes it's good to write it all down. Categorize three things that are priority. Tiny house, fencing, barn. Fencing is a priority for 1,2,3.... house ect. Sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed. Start a list bite off a little at a time accomplishing what you can. Soon you'll find that projects are getting done, giving you the momentum to complete them all. Jason, I have seen you go from a tarp in the woods to a tent in a winter storm. Look how far you've come. You'll figure it out. I'll pray for you, YOU GOT THIS!

[@sappysiggy2351]

I must say, I came here to see the building of country projects, lately its a lot of jaw jacking and feeding animals, Let the builds began!

[@timhickman9911]

Jason, you don't want road water filling the pond, especially if it is piped direct from the roadside ditch and not filtered by the ground. With as much standing water as you have there, you should grade some shallow swales to funnel the ground water to the pond. Also, don't buy any more grass seed, you want to find seeds native to your area, you can always check with the local AG extension office to find where you can get it. It will grow much better, and provide better nourishment for Lambau and the goats. Follow PRRs example and check with some grocers, markets or even restaurants the sell fruits and veggies and get their damaged and their out of date stuff to help feed Breakfast, Hank and the goats.

[@tweetiepooh2001]

Check with the local high school. See if anybody in a 4h club would be willing to help out with the animals on a daily basis. I think you might be surprised. They might rotate the help but any help would be great. You might even be able to get help for the fence/barn work. Prayers for you all.

[@its-me1216]

What a great idea!!!

[@milliewilkie1969]

That would require them to have facilities like water and a bathroom they have non

[@shoredrift202]

Hey Guys, we all love your animals and so do you guys, don’t get rid of them, you can’t replace their personalities. Hire someone to do the fencing and while that’s being done get some friends together to help build the barn. Then you two can work on your house together. PS never make big decisions on a gloomy day 😊

[@lleet21t56]

I agree except just put up shelter for Lambeau. Get the fence done even if you have to hire some help. Then focus on the tint home. The barn can come later. Keep the animals, the goats can help clear areas. Get more chicken to help with tick control.

[@breezegeddes7854]

Just hire some help Jason.

[@tienagriggs6382]

I agree maybe too many goats

[@irishgrandma]

Jason, this is one of the most real, honest, open, and sincere videos I have ever watched of yours. You and Danielle need to sit down together, list your projects, and prioritize your choices on the animals, fencing, barns, tiny house, etc. You two are an awesome team and can make the right decisions for your lives together. Hang in there until Danielle's training period is over. Your to-do list is overwhelming for one person to handle, even for YOU. You will get through this and will make the right decisions. ❤️ 💙 💜

[@MsFuruodden]

You can’t do everything alone. Rent something out ! You have to use some money. Time is money too. Keep your animals ❤

[@KnuckleheadsHomestead]

I moved to KY 2 years ago. 1st thing i built was a temp fence for my pup, then i built a shop, which i live in now. i then built a permanent fence around my entire property, giving my pup more room to roam and a bigger composting toilet...lol. i have finally been able to work on building my cabin, which is dried in, as far as a roof on it and walls up...a couple windows cut out and doors r framed in. i did install my power pole, after a year off-grid and i just installed the waterlines, which consist of a hydrant and stub out for the cabin. 2 years...and i work alone. U got this brother. u got a good woman backin ya too. steady wins the race and the pets have food and shelter. sit back and enjoy the ride. ❤‍🔥💪🙏

[@KnuckleheadsHomestead]

interesting thing about my build, is it is all reclaimed, from buildings, decks and fences i have torn down, cleaned up and utilized for this homestead. it takes time and dedication, determination and desire. i can tell U have all of that. like i said, U GOT THIS bother.

[@Comatose_Era]

Overwhelmed... The word you're looking for is overwhelmed.

[@ChrisB-vx3lz]

I know things can get overwhelming, but try to prioritize. Maybe get the fence done first. That way, you don't have to worry about the stinkers escaping. Then maybe consider having someone help with the barn. That way, all of your equipment is safe from the elements. You're blessed to have your in town property, that you can sleep and shower, and do your work at. With Danielle having her new job , I'm sure you're both super overwhelmed. Slow down, take your time. We watch everyday. Love you guys !

[@MusicLovingFool1]

Agreed! That's what I think too as I stated after you. Lol...peace! ;)))

[@homesteadlove]

I feel like y'all are doing the right thing in working on the animals first because y'all do have the studio. Also just a concern that it is hard to function without proper sleep, please take care of yourself. ❤

[@Infinitepossibilitiesat56plus]

Two options really -I think I’ve said before that you should have a barn raising party . Just having help with that one thing with a group of trusted friends will make the project move forward quickly . So you still will only have paid 6-7,000 for the barn ,but it will be out of the way so fast . I think it’s the same for the fence . Ask for local volunteers to come and help . Ask your community for help . I think many people would jump at the chance to be there and support you guys to get over this hump . It’s that or option 2-you get rid of all the animals accept the dogs and Breakfast, build the tool shed big enough to keep supplies and then start on the house ,So you can start fresh with the house and build back up from there to get the animal back . When you got rid of the goats before, you guys seems so relaxed and happy. Just saying .

[@lucyjohnson184]

1st and foremost, don't get down on yourself! You have come a loooooong way! I say hire someone to do the fencing. 1 weekend have all your close friends over and have a barn building weekend. That way, you're killing 2 birds with 1 stone. The fence and barn are getting done all at once. Bam, the animals are taken care of. Then you and Danielle can start on the tiny house. You have a lot on your plate right now! Asking for help takes guts, and I'm soooo glad you're asking! I'm the same way. I never ask for help because I feel I'm the helper. I'm the giver, not a good taker. But when I was diagnosed with cancer, I learned really quickly how to become a taker and accept the help. Yall have got this! I have no doubt in my mind! Sending big hugs and lots of love from East Central Florida! ❤🫂🙏

[@anj3595]

Setting priorities is the hardest part of overwhelming tasks that are there. I think you couldn’t have it better, compared to where you started, Jason. Maybe pay some of the feed costs at the Junod’s, that would be significant enough to offset some of their costs.. I am sure they realize your situation. I don’t know how much Lambeau could be bothering them. Just communicate and do all you can. Junod’s are very wonderful people and would probably let you know if they feel you are taking advantage. All you can do is put your hand to the job and bite off as much as you can. You do have good shelter and food and shower capabilities.

[@Cthomas5678]

First things first just focus on daily chores then whatever you have to do for the animals first. Then you will be able to concentrate on the daily chores and the house. But I guess you have to focus on the fence otherwise you won’t know how to make sure the animals are secure. One step at a time. Learn to slow your mind and focus on one thing at a time

[@annareischl2105]

I agree!! Get help with fencing first, then help with barn, then you can do your house. Put a call out for other YTubers to come and help and see what happens. Doesn't hurt to ask.

[@MusicLovingFool1]

As long as you have the studio, fencing and barn should be first I would think. Do what you have to do and enjoy the journey!!! Basically, keep the animals. If it's going to be bad whether, then hunker down at property the night before, and good weather...stay at the studio so you know you can get back to property next morning.

[@margospica6429]

One thing I’ve noticed about many of the homesteading channels is they start getting animals before they get their home built.. And they don’t have shelters for the animals built.. let alone for themselves… I’m not trying to mean or judgmental especially since I’m not a homesteader.. But I’ve raised 3 children that are probably your age.. It’s hard but sometimes you have to stop and reevaluate what your wants and needs are.. And your ability to distinguish what is realistic and reasonable.. I can’t state what I think you should do… Just write down your priorities and set up a plan from there… Good luck and God bless ❤ Stay focused on your goals… I have an A.D.D. Issue so I totally understand… But sometimes you got to reevaluate and start all over.. Stuff happens.. it all came from a good place… no shame in that.. You and Danielle need to work through it.. We are just along for the ride.. Wishing you both the best😊

It is easy to dodge an elephant.However a swarm of mosquitos has to be swatted one at a time.I would do the fence and barn first. Then you can concentrate on the house.

[@ashleydavis6809]

Only my thoughts… don’t get rid of the animals because you already have them acclimated to you and they are really good animals. Get the fencing and barn done first. maybe have a fence or barn build days and ask for help from trusted friends? Then focus on the barndaminium since you have the apartment.❤❤you will figure it out❤ Sometimes you just have to talk it out loud to find the solution!

I think you might have answered your own question. Get the fence done first. You have time to build the house, its not going to happen overnight. Take help when people offer and dont feel bad about it. Yall got this.

[@msconniel1]

Get a fence built for Lambeau and a friend ( if he has a friend he will be easier to keep in) build them a simple temporary shelter. Then focus on fencing rest of the property. Get a bed and stay at the studio for comfort. Build out grain bin next then finish with barn build

[@timstark3312]

Part of the reason I posted my "I'm not doing exactly great right now" video yesterday (in the midst of a major downsizing move) is because I respect (and have learned from) the occasional "hard truths/ups and downs" videos with an appropriate level of honesty/transparency. I'm way behind you folks in my own "someday" goals, so it's helpful to have this kind of reality-check update content. Best regards & cheers.

[@poppythegoodtroll9136]

One day at a time. As I see it you need the fencing done regardless of having animals or not! So fencing first.

[@atandrtransport]

Fence, barn then house. That’s how I’d do it. Keep following your dreams mate

[@corriestrauss3340]

Hi Jason. You know I will never tell you what to do. My suggestion is no 1 get the fence up so you don't have to worry about the animals and the dogs, and get Lambeau back. Sell the boy goat and the babies, so you don't have baby goats in a few months Then do your barn/shop in one. You built the barn at SDR if I am correct in a month(Dec 2022). The momma goats won't stress you out with the piggies and Lambeau. You and Danielle have the studio, just put in a nice bed. You also have the camper. Sorry, this was a long one. You and Danielle can do it, stop stressing. Love you both💕💕

[@beckypage6041]

Regardless if you keep the animals or not, your still going want a fence and barn, so you might as well just keep pushing on. Your just freaking out right now, you’ve got all caught up in your head. Return the favor to Junod’s when you can, everyone needs help at one time or another.

Investing in a few containers for good storage and as for Lambeau. Erect enough fencing for him and shelter for him. I say wait for the barn.

[@missykoonmk]

When we bought our farm my husband and I had similar schedules. That changed about a year later! We had ALOT of livestock! Cattle, donkeys, dogs, goats, turkeys, chickens, hogs! He was working 16 hour days and I just could not keep up! That winter was brutal! We sold all of them that February. It was the best decision for them and, wait for it…us too! Be kind to yourselves. Give yourselves some grace! No shame in your game if you take a break from ranching for a bit! Hope this helps! Best of luck, love the channel.

[@donnaparrott8336]

Don’t get rid of your animals. Get a dry erase board and prioritize, make fencing first and get help. Some other channels had fans help. After fencing work on your house but when you’re stuck on projects with the house, work on animals stuff. That’s how we did it. Prioritizing help us most.

[@rayv7010]

I think you have a lot of options, especially since the "studio " is very liveable. Let's start off with goals. Why livestock? I am the cousin, newphew, and grandson of dairy farmers. The purpose of their livestock was milk production, increasing the herd and its life cycle. I wouldn't recommend dairy farming as that is domestic slavery, but what is your plan for the goats? Some of your animals (pigs) are treated as pets. Your business but on our farms, they were food on 4 hooves. So, in my mind, having shelter so close to the homestead, given your situation, my priorities would be: 1. complete fencing in the property and animal pens; 2. build whatever barns are necessary given your livestock and future plans 3. build whatever ancillary buildings necessary to support your efforts, e.g. tool shed, equipment/carport, etc Once you have 1 through 3 complete, time for a mini vacation! Don't know if in your community you can pick up day-loborers to help you when needed, but that might be a thought. Finally, with respect to the grain silo/tiny house, hire an architect who can help you lay out your "program" into a design. It's money well spent!

[@warrenpeterson6065]

Looking in from the outside, the animals are not a money generating business for you, nor are they being raised as food, but rather they are your pets. You acquired them before relocating when you had 2 houses almost completed ... a whole different situation than today. Today, you have no house and have roughly 30 pets to care for, feed, attend to, guard, etc. and their numbers will only grow. The logical solution is to chose just a few and regrettably sell/trade/donate the others. The infrastructure is already in place so you can restart the farm down the road when it is more convenient. That will allow you to shift re resources, both time, money, and your sanity, to constructing your infrastructure and caring for each other. Cheers from the Canadian Rockies.

Life has taught me to take a moment and a day at a time. Stress causes health problems. Do what you can as you can. We ( my husband and I ) lived off the land in Tennessee, for about four years. Weather, everything affects you, especially in tending to the animals, and getting things done. Do what you can as weather allows, everything will get done. Maybe not in time you what, but it will get done. Hang in there. Also you are missing her, look forward to when she"ll be there. Bad days work inside , good days work outside, even if the days are split, in and out. In time all will get done. It's been 20 some years since then, I now have health problems from stressing out. That's why I say take a moment and a day at a time. It"s not worth messing your health up for later. Don't mean to lecture, it's what life taught me. My husband was a truck driver, I know when your partner is not with you, you do tend to stress more,

[@sandrahankins8488]

Keep going with what your doing. Keep your animals, you'll regret it later. You and Danielle got this, keep the faith and continue the path your going. It will work out just fine, little bumps along the way.

Everything feels worse when the weather is bad. Just keep moving

[@carolsgardenjournal8326]

Since you asked....just my opinion. Re-home most of the animals. Feed costs & worry about their care is weighing on you, Farmers re-home animals all the time. Keeping all the animals may be sentimental but not necessarily practical. Im familiar with ADHD. Less distraction improves focus. Your health & Danielles comes first.

[@readingbyheart8128]

I completely get the creative brain overwhelm when things really get cooking! As I've aged, I've learned to appreciate letting go of things. It's so freeinbg. Only you guys can know what order you want to do things and what to let go of and be free of. I know you guys will know what to do and when it comes to you, you'll do it - that's also a part of the creative mind. For me, I'd let the animals go for now and build them back up later when you feel comfortable in your home. But, only you two know what you want to focus on right now. Follow your creative gut and it will tell you. Don't be afraid to let go of whatever seems freeing to let go of. It will come back around to you as you follow your creative path building a good life for yourselves. I've been amazed at how quickly you've shaped things up. It's looking gorgeous there in the front, with the entrance and the grain bin and its tree in the backdrop.

[@steveskeels6910]

You need to take care of yourself. Warm comfortable place to live. If you were to get sick who would take care of the animals. Like someone else said have a build party. With enough people you can split up into teams. Would not take long to get the fence done and a good start on your home. Pizza,beer, and sodas and things will get done.

Good afternoon from the Snow Zone. Boyeeeeee do I understand. You've been here before and the weather can be a horrible factor in getting everything done. Keep going and ask for help if you and Danielle agree on this. I remember you feeling this way at the old place livin in the micro tiny house . Nothing stopped you. You've paid your dues and know what to do. 1. Fencing 2. Makeshift cover for Equipment/Vehicle's ..temporary You guys got this . One step and some patience leads to being done. Prayers Up keep well you two. Weather makes such a difference . It's not going to last forever...Remember all that you guys have accomplished.

[@donjohnsonlivesgood]

To shut down the brain so to say is to put everything down in written word. Categorize, then prioritize those things. Take the highest of those priorities and now expand out on it as much as is necessary to have a step by step process down. Sounds like it would be time consuming, but it is much less so than just staying awake and trying to get it done just in the head alone. I know this because it's my brain as well. I had a Uncle that I was staying with some 30 years ago that asked me, man do you ever sleep, or stop just to try and sleep. My answer was, I can't. Back then I slept maybe 1-3 hours a day. It damaged far beyond what I ever thought it would do. Lost both my kidneys, and today with diabetes, sleep apnea and a host of other issues I now spend so much more time dealing with those things, and yes I learned to prioritize as I wrote above, and now I sleep a good 6-9 hours straight without interrruption. It is a must thing to do.

[@blueyedtopher]

As a city girl with no experience 😂 I'd say hire someone to help you build the fence then the barn. It will be quicker than working by yourself and cheaper than hiring a company.

[@mccalleto7506]

Finish and secure your perimeters first. then do your barn, for temporary storage and shelter for animals and feed. Do correctly and finish, then animal worries will be taken care of, then you can be free to work on your living space. Maybe put a quality bed and set up a temporary living space in your loft space so you have a more homelike setting until silo is finished. save camper overnights for off time. otherwise you are going to burn out...Just a suggestions... Good luck.. When presented with too many projects, thinking can become chaotic. force yourself to solve one problem at a time...

[@Killerdude80]

You got this! Dont let it overwhelm you. Make a priority list. Fence first then barn and so on. That way you dont feel pulled in so many directions.

It will make things easier once animals are safe. I never leave comments but thought this would help. Thanks for sharing your life with everyone.

[@WB4IME]

😮Let's take this in order ... keep the animals. They are a commitment both of you made. Sell off the ones you had already planned to harvest at some point. Build the barn, install the fence then bring Lambeau back home. Now ... build your home. Do all of this yourself so you don't lose the advantage of being debt free. When the house is complete then you can go in any direction you chose. I've done what you are doing when I was in my 30s. Hard work yes but SO rewarding when complete. Hang in there .... get that burning determination in the center of your chest and focus. God bless.

[@ChrissyzCorner]

IMO I think you should go ahead and spend the money to have the fence and barn built. Yes, it will take away the money from building the house BUT, you still have steady money coming in and will be able to still do the things you want to do. It may take a little longer, but it can still be done. That will take the stress of having to do them yourself off your plate. In the meantime, if you are that uncomfortable, you still have the studio and the house in town that you can spend the night at once in awhile. Also, with having the studio, why not just sell the house in town and Danielle can just stay at the studio when she has to work. I know it may be a longer commute but it can be done in order to get extra funds together for your home build.

[@dreadedscotslass]

I thought it was said in a previous video that the commute from the studio to the hospital was actually about 30 mins less than from someday ranch to the town house, Although I could be wrong but im sure that was said.

[@stevealldredge2971]

I would have someone come out and put up a pole barn. Time is money and you can finish it out later. You also got to ask yourself what your goals are with the animals, they seem to be just be pets and I haven’t seen much profit to pets

Just stay focused on what you are doing now, do not get rid of the animals you will regret it later besides you two have always put them first and you have built them shelters and put up a lot of fencing , on the other hand the Junod are truly real great friends and I do understand how you feel about lambeo but I know they are just as happy to have him there ,just keep up the good work you are doing and the rest will fall in place you have waited this long don’t,t grow in the towel now keep going you are on the right track, love you guys bunches.

They need infrastructure before having animals. They are easy to replace when the infrastructure is built. Unload the burden of keeping animals until the home is finished and infrastructure is in.

That's like saying get rid of your children when you are busy, and replace them at a later date. When you decide to get an animal it's a lifetime commitment. They are living beings . Their needs should come first. They can't look after themselves

[@sheliabryant3382]

@@Lincsgirl that’s what I,m saying, they got animals a few years ago you just don’t,t get rid of them because you need a bigger house, they are you first priority and they have done so much for them already, we all go through stress everyday but we get through it and they will to.

[@laurieg673]

@@Lincsgirl farm animals are not a lifetime commitment. They are livestock and don't care who feeds them. Plenty of farms with infrastructure to rehome them to that won't leave them alone so much. How many years are they going to drag their feet before building a place to live? It's like watching a soap opera...tune in 20 yrs later and you never missed a thing. I don't care what they do but Jason opened the door to comments about infrastructure so there's my opinion, like it or not. In reality, they are probably just using the property and animals to create content. When they get around to having a kid, they'll live at Danielle house.

[@laurieg673]

@@sheliabryant3382 they just got rid of a bunch of goats. They have livestock, not children. Anyone can make livestock happy if they feed it. Just because baby goats are cute doesn't mean they have an emotional connection with you. Your priority should be your home and family if you plan on having kids. Danielle's going to be in labor and Jason's going to be rushing to build a mainger for his baby. Watching 2 people with ADD just gives me PTSD.

[@Alabamainthehouse]

Hang in there you got this. One day at a time is all your asking you for. Do the fencing to get your baby boy first.

[@patrickclemmons2697]

One thing at a time. Life can overwhelm you very easily. Work on your fencing, then the barn, use the barn to store your tools and stuff, and then work on your home. You got this.

[@KandRCustomModels]

Count your blessings and be patient you have more than most and have blessings most don’t have . You have had many life changes so take a deep breath, prioritize it will come together Delayed gratification is best road in life!

[@barbarahoover3941]

Get your priorities straight. You already have the animals keep them. Get your fence done first you need it . Then move on to the next project what ever that might be. Lambeau fine sure they understand. Love you both

[@laurieg673]

Having livestock before infrastructure is set up is like having babies before you able to afford them.

[@edwindegroot3235]

Don’t overthink it. Set priorities. You have a place to live. Start with the fencing and the barn. Then the home. Hire a hand to help with some stuff. Take little steps at the time , everyday a step is a marathon after a month or two. Your animals give you also PLEASURE , so also enjoy those moments. If you loose them, you only have work left. That’s not really why you bought this property I think!

[@thomaspignanello743]

JASON i think that i would do the fence first and secure your land then work on your house and leave the barn for last. You have enough lean tubes for the animals get your house done than you can relax a little. Love your channel also i watch your brother.

[@debragillespie596]

❤ blessings and prayers from my experience I would keep the animals and prioritize 1 fencing 2 barn 3 tiny house My opinion just a suggestion I would do it in that order relax just do one job at a time and enjoy the process of your dreams enjoy each day it will all get done in time ❤ just my thoughts for you Jason no rush blessings to you all ❤

[@kathyeady676]

You have your apartment for warmth food & hot showers, pay for help on fencing and have barn built Next spring / work on your home. Find homes for your new goats. You are overwhelmed.

[@teresafacini6121]

I agree with the writer, Leslie and she said get rid of your animals right now worry about yourselves and then worry about getting your animals again I agree with that start worrying about yourself completely just about you and Danielle

[@yvonneforth1076]

Guys..you have taken on all these animals..it's a commitment it takes a lot of time ..we have been in your shoes. The animals are priority..then pick one project at a time..finish one thing you will feel better! All your efforts are great but you are only one person! Hire someone to put up your fence it will be the best money ever spent. It worked for us, maybe it will work for you! Slow down it doesn't all have to be done at once...❤

[@shelleyneedham6055]

Jason it’s totally normal to feel how you are feeling anyone who has moved knows this…you guys have come so far you haven’t been on Someday Ranch for very long everything that needs to be done takes time … have a barn raising party your friends would love to come and socialize and work or a fence building party …

[@sherrygardensallaround6486]

Sorry you have weather issues and so much stress. The pigs and goats will love all the rain though. Appreciate your filming and taking care of your farm fur-babies under the wet conditions. Too bad you guys can't get a couple helpers for all the projects. Careful out there. Love to you both. Sherry 🥰 🙏 💞 🐕🐖🐐

[@karenwearin9731]

I think it would be too expensive to have someone else do all that work but if you could hire at least one person who would help you build the fence and the barn not have it done for you, or sell all the animals work on the house build a barn and fence I mean you’re in winter timeAnd when it gets bad you’re not gonna be able to work outside anyway you’ll be spending all your time taking care of animals when you can that’s my thought

[@cherishelf8759]

Pigs yes. Goats hate rain.

[@elizabeththomas8746]

Patience, positive, persistent. Hang in there! Don't give up.

[@scotto6314]

I think you guy’s should lighten the load ( animals). Get yourself comfortable with the new house. One project at a time. Take care of your mental/physical health ❤ it’s gold

[@anothertime2023]

Jason, if we see a mountain that needs moved and try to do it all at once then it seems impossible. We had several acres that needed fenced in and hired a young man to help us. We used T posts except in front and had him put all the posts in. It took him seven hours for over 200 posts. We then pulled our fence and the three of us wired to posts. Took us three days. My point is the fence could be done with some help in less than a week. Then start on your house. One step at a time. One shovel at a time, and you will move that mountain. You can do this! Don’t get discouraged.❤ you can wait on the barn. Most livestock are fine without shelter. The young man I hired to help cost 500.00❤By the way we are in our Sixties.

[@jacqulynsmither8770]

Jason get some help with the fencing. You have too much on your hand all at once. Get help with the fence and you can start on the barn.

[@helenhelps9619]

Pay for a helper for the fence.

[@barbaradoye1989]

Fence... then work on getting that camper more comfortable. You need to stay at the farm as much as possible or all of that back and forth is going to do you in... been there, done that! Moving a farm is hard. It so sucks! Expect issues for the next 6 months until you get your bearings. We had the exact same experience as you are having now, it's tough. You have been through much worse. Erecting a farm in a month is not realistic for 2 people working full time. I tried that. I am here to tell you it takes longer. I am glad I kept my favorite animals after downsizing and making some really tough choices. It made things much easier. I kept the best behaved animals that served a purpose and were being utilized. I utilize eggs and milk the most.Too many pets is horrific on your bank account! I am currently downsizing and it sucks. I totally get it but so wish I didn't. I wouldn't re-home them all. You need to keep your best ones that serve a purpose... I would keep your oldest companions, too. You owe it to them. Another option is a farm hand. NOT a live in situation, maybe just to come twice a week to help do whatever you need extra hands on. By rehoming some animals the reduction in food costs could possibly pay for this. The first year on my farm was the worst muddy mess ever! Torn them out into an area that you quickly make with portable electric fence or zip tied cattle panels. Something temporary you can move. Then bring them in at night after you have put their food down. This keeps you much cleaner and they will go where you want them to easily and efficiently. Jason, you got this! You are resilient! You aren't sleeping in a tent surrounded by snow that's for sure! Your project needs time and doesn't care how ADHD your butt is! It's not going to happen... it's happening now! You are just stuck in a moment when it is slow and you have all of these ideas and momentum. I get it. You need to be patient with your project and with yourself. Every week is a step forward. What you are doing is hard! Very hard! You got this! Just keep moving forward and eventually it WILL get easier, I promise. Good luck to you on this next chapter. Hang in there! Take care!

[@vedaendevoets3717]

you can a build a thing like you did for the goat make it 3 car wide and make it deep enough for your cars in two and then your tools in the middle

[@ChickHaven]

Stop breeding animals and rehome some. Not rocket science

[@michele2397]

I think it would be easier, faster and good for animals and you, pay for some help and/or hire someone to build what you need in order of priority. I know having had animals is they need more time or just get rid of the ones you have and save money on feed and you can just not do any of it and save money. Sometimes the cost is worth the sanity and responsibility. Clearly it’s your choice and you’re overwhelmed. It got like this before at SDR. You will do what you want in the end. Be well! 😊😊

[@carolbuell9715]

I noticed you are happiest when Danielle there.

[@kathylane5934]

Take your time. We always had friends to help us. I mostly cooked. We just had good time building. We have had cows and horses. Just worked steady

[@RMMomma4Eva]

Hey bro, so as I mentioned before: 1. Make lists. As soon as you write things down, you empty and free your mind. Break everything down in steps. Work slowly but steadily. You're keeping everything in your head and doing that is overwhelming and paralyzing. 2. Hire people. For at least some of the projects. Even if you have to borrow. Once it's all done, you'll be able to grind and pay it off quickly. If you try to do everything yourself, you're going to stay stuck because it's too much. 3. Get interns. Call around to schools and set up a for credit internship program. That way you won't have to be alone all day and do everything alone. And will have help that is accountable to do a good job. But you will not incur excess expenses. 4. Build inner resources. Strengthen your relationship with God and His Word. 5. Keep going. You got this. ❤❤❤❤

[@Hunt-N-HollarRanch]

Just keep doing what you can on the days you can. One thing at a time. Focus on the fence 1ST, you have and can build more shelters. We are in NY, we have all seasons in the same day. We got 6 inches of snow the other day and we are about to get slammed with heavy rain and high winds. Nothing but mudmud mud here! IT IS ALOT OF WORK, KEEP AT IT!

[@marilynfdavis891]

Sometimes less is more.. Get rid of most of the goats and turkeys,have a fencing party, animals are fine with the shelters you have. Start your life with Danielle! Thats priority.

My prayers Jason 🙏

[@freddysijtsma6920]

Seen more comments that say what i think, keep working on a place for your animals because you already have places to fall back to. And get help for building the fence and a barn that can have everything in it, and has a carport besides it. So all your stuff is dry and out of the wind and the animals have a place to stay.

[@kaylaparadis8268]

You should just fine a good home for the animal because they are slowing you guys down once you have stuff figure out maybe thing about some animal but, for now the dogs should be enough. You got this Jason.❤❤

[@survivalflare54]

Always, always take care of the animals first. They can't take care of themselves. Do you after they are cared for. Then it will feel so much better when you are doing your tiny home. Be a good steward of those beautiful animals.

[@pattik902]

You need an orginization binder. Put sections in it. House, barn, fencing etc...whereas one month maybe you use your income to work on house needs, next you build fencing or gather supplies. Only other way to do it is rid yourself of everything but house project. Build it. Then recollect animals after you got all the barns and fencing in. Two methods pretty much alternate projects in which you work on by month or scrap all and work on one project until each is completed. Either choice can work. 😊

[@markfoster1346]

Love you guys.....take care of the house first!!! Your animals will be fine right now......get your woman in her house first!!!!..... her life will be much more enjoyable in house with electric and water.... Although your animals are important, Daniel should be first in your life before any animals.... been watching yall for a long time...... live in east Texas not to far from you.. love you guys

[@mountainson8688]

Finish the front fence. Gravel the driveway. Pick one side fence or the other, and the center fence (dog-proof ALL) so you can turn the animals out. You don't need a barn yet Maybe just another enclosed shed so you can get the feed storage out of the tent. THEN house, THEN barn, THEN finish out the fences and paddocks. You need to prioritize. One bite at a time, you can eat the whole buffalo.

[@jaycoraldi1639]

For most you need to be comfortable before anyone can be given y’all’s 100 percent, if your living uncomfortable and lack rest, everyone feels it including pets! The way I’d tackle it is week on pets needs week on your needs aka tiny house🤷🏻‍♂️

[@keto4life649]

From the outside looking in: 1. utilize your studio to make yourselves comfortable. Live there in the interim. Buy furniture a nice bed - whatever you need. 2. Fix up the property- start with fencing - get some dam help! Hire them or whatever it takes. Your youtube is doing well so reinvest that money. No need to make it a solo event 🤷‍♂️ 3. Take care of all your animals needs - you guys can be comfortable in the studio. 4. Honestly skip the grain silo house and after the property is done being setup for its needs go right into making your barndaminium? Or whatever dream home you guys want. 5. You guys love each other. You clearly have patience. Make yourselves SUPER comfy in that studio and take your time on sculpting your new land. 6. No matter what you decide we are all here fir the ride - so thank you 🙏
