I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

The screws are supposed t0 go on the top of the ridge of the roofing sheets so they wont leak when rain runs down the low gutters

[@robertlafollette8931]

Looking real good guys. Gina really enjoys helping you with building projects. She's a good worker. God Bless your family.

[@Dexter_adventures]

The more I watch the more I want to back in Vermont. I like lived right across the river in Vermont. Love watching your videos. Keep it up....

[@silentskystudios]

I noticed you drilling screws in the troughs (the low spots) rather than the crests (the high spots) in the corrugated roofing. From what I've read and other videos I've watched, it's better to put the screws in the crests, being careful not to dimple the roofing. That should help minimize the possibility of leaks. Just thought this might be helpful to other viewers.

[@paulfromcda8440]

I agree and would add that you need "wiggle molding" to support screw along each nail strip. Screw one panel at a time so you can reach without crawling on panels.

[@wellhiddenranch2358]

We had similar weather back in October so many trees still had leaves and got so heavy they just broke off, this spring will be full of clean-up. Hope you guys don't end up the same way.........Happy building!😊

[@gaylec258]

Wow. I discovered a one pan recipe for Honey Garlic Chicken w/green beans and tomatoes a couple weeks ago, and it was so good, I raved about it to my friends. Last night, my friend calls and asks for the recipe. They made it and loved it. Imagine my surprise when Gina says she's making Honey Garlic chicken too. Her recipe is different than the one I did tho. Apparently Honey Garlic chicken is the latest greatest thing to do with chicken.

[@craigcarman354]

You demonstrate a top quality way to live and work together as a healthy family unit. Well done. I’m a new subscriber as I am impressed. My compliments.

[@shawnmcpeak6184]

I made the chicken tonight. The family loved it. Going to have to remember this one. I bet it would be great on pork chops.

[@annab3182]

New chicken coop is coming together, it looks great! A plastic roof without something down as insulation won’t hold temperatures in or out.

[@Gladtobeleaving]

With all the snow, it will be interesting to see how you get that coop into position anywhere. Good luck.

[@cathiwim]

njswimdad it might be easier with the snow than dragging it thru the mud. They have a looong mud season.

[@lkhfun6575]

New Henshire would have been a good coop name too.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Funny seeing the hens gathering with the ducks for a drink of water. Love Figuro's spot when he's not outside in the cold.

[@andrewspratt7276]

Drilling holes in wood with an impact can be very hard on the impact. You should use a regular drill. For dewalt i would recommend the DCD996, its very versatile and capable for drilling through any type of material where as the lesser or "homeowner" models are just not that powerful. Hope this helps!

[@virginiareid5336]

Good to know about the plastic roofing, especially for women builders. I do believe the chickens and ducks really like the new snack.

[@CRuf-qw4yv]

I see a lot of suggestions for "New Eggland". There is a company that supplies eggs called "Eggland". Located in Malvern, PA and are a major supplier. Don't think Al and Gina want to infringe on any trademark or copy-right issues. Just a note of consideration. And..I think they have a line called New Eggland's Best. I am sure Al, as a growing and popular KZbinr, is already aware of this. All the best.

[@keithrayeski6417]

Hey Al, why has a generator not been a priority on the homestead? I mean a whole house Interlock set up ...asking for a friend!😁

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

Try adding grated carrots in with their grain for yolk colour.

[@cherylsmith-bell6509]

Yes, and /or grow some wheat grass in a window box and feed them and the dogs and cat. They will love it. and alfalfa hay would help that, too.

[@mintysingularity]

That's just color feeding but doesnt do much for added nutrition..

[@gary1887]

thought you should screw in the top of the corrugated roof so there be no leaks , love to hear how it turns out but it does look great wish I could build like that also I really hope that get out of there look way close

[@MrBarryWarren]

My wife and I love you guys. We were thinking that you already have a NYC now you need a KFC Kennel For Chickens

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Al and Gina your going to need a bulldozer to pull the coop out of the workshop! Its getting heavier! Wonderful job I'd want to live in it ! God Bless y'all!

I hope your plastic roof does not have hail stones as big as we did in Canberra Australia, over 4 inches across,completely wrote off our plastic roof.

[@gordonrides840]

[@larryr.johnson3048]

I can't sleep worrying about your dust collection system. Please ground it with bare copper running through the hose. This will help prevent a fire in your workshop from static electricity. Best regards

[@jamespatch1037]

Will you be adding eavestroughs for a rain collection system to this eggsulent coup?

[@NCRealEstate]

[@garytucker2240]

How about a Lumnah Acres cook book, it would make great presents?

[@bay9876]

With bees on the way how about Lumnah Acres honey garlic spread for meats out of the oven?

[@gungadinn]

Al, I spend good money to get a green lawn. In the past three years, I've had to use Grub-X to kill off the grubs that burrow holes into the lawn. It's either Grub-X or having moles that eat grubs. Grub-X kills the grubs and with no grubs, no moles. The weight savings of using plastic roofing material are real, however plastic roofing doesn't have good UV light resistance. The plastic panels become brittle as the plasticizers leech out and the panels start cracking. Plastic is also brittle in cold temperatures. Combine the cold and wind, and you might have the roof blown off the coop with a strong winter storm. I don't want to go off on a Chinese conspiracy rant, but they don't respect human life. They're still struggling with what parts of capitalism they want. The owners of the companies want to manufacture a good product, but the pay structure rewards managers for quantity, not quality. The pet food deaths 8-10 years ago were attributed to some unscrupulous persons adding melamine to wheat and rice gluten to artificially raise the protein reporting showing higher protein values.

[@billmcdonald488]

Hey, I live in South Florida and I had to get a building permit for a shed and similar to what you're building first off I couldn't have any overhangs more than two in. Miami-Dade hurricane rules, I had to use. Inch and a half washers on my roofing screws every 6 in Miami-Dade hurricane rules, Had to use corrugated strapping every 6 in underneath. The plastic, Miami-Dade hurricane rules LOL added a hundred and fifty percent to the cost of my plastic panels. And I had the wrong color screws. So I took a piece of styrofoam about 2ft by 2ft, press the screws into the foam, then spray painted white.

[@johnlynn4945]

The honey garlic chicken looks yummy. Going to try that tonight!

[@ServiceTrek]

hey Al, thanks for a the great building videos. you're a pro and you're so comfortable around your table saw. i'd like to see a tips, tricks, safety topic. thanks again.

[@BoxVanMan]

The overhang should always be greater on the high side. Don't need much on the low side because of gravity.

[@cynthiaatlegacyhomestead5422]

[@SOHN32]

You want orange color more in eggs. Feed them shelled corn. Plus help back on feed some. Cheaper way feed 100 lb bag is like 9.00 dollars. Plus want harder egg shells feed them oyster shells. And in warmer months ferment there feed . Not sure how it work with pellets. As feed ours non gmo feed from amish with mineral added.

[@bobgonzalez5869]

you need to make a few stand boxes from all the little scrap wood that you have about the shop. make like the plastic milk crates but wood and more sturdy

[@erniemays41]

Good luck on dragging that outside, it looks heave as you know what 😲

[@brucealvarez9263]

I see you taught Gina how to use the proper tool for knocking wood into place ;) How long before you have to replace the plastic roofing?

[@brettj4361]

A dual fuel generator is a must on the homested

[@aaaro88]

Her pronunciation is really good! there's a tendency to go with a long "ow" sound for the O. Try shortening it keeping it as brief as possible for UNO instead of it sounding more like "ooo knoW" try "ooo_No!" for Quatro the same thing instead of "Ku-ah trouW" try "Ku Ah Troh"

[@6996katmom]

I would love to make it, but my hubby doesn't like sweet meat.

[@PYehl1]

Where did you get your plastic roofing from? I was trying to tell what the manufacturer was from the label but went too fast past it. Thanks!

[@isabelc2697]

It looks like you measured the coop itself as 8ft, but did you include the roof itself in that measurement, it looks like it is more than 9ft combined. You don't want to have to take everything apart! Also name the coop Chickago, since it is going to be a chick brooder as well and still fits with the US city themes.

[@tonimitchell9930]

Give the chickens a little Alfalfa and that will help with the color and taste too. They love picking thru it.

[@johnwood7372]

What did you decide on for wheels to move the new coop?

[@bearrivermama6414]

John Wood I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking some of those icehouse crank down wheels would be nice but probably a bit to spendy.

[@moaziz413]

Cool place.

[@larrysmith2481]

You know that snakes can get through the wire you have over the windows. My son did basically the same thing you guys did on his coop windows and two snakes got in and killed one chicken and ate several eggs so he went with the wire cloth with the smaller openings.

[@fperez0209]

Another great video, Question for you. Where do you buy those long screws? I live in Puerto Rico and I stopped by the local Home Depot and couldn't find them.I didn't asked. I need a length of 8 inches to fix a wobb;y table that my sister is attached to. Any help would help, thanks

[@lyndaperky4687]

How about dragging the coop over some plywood or heavy plastic sheets if available. You would need two so you could rotate them. I don't envy you trying to get through the slush or mud. Maybe the deep freeze the country is having will freeze it so you could slide it over everything.

[@Smacker3801]

I am been lead to believe that ducks would normally eat their food under water as they have a filtering system build into their beak due to the fact that they have no intestines compared to a chook and for that reason duck eggs should only be used in cakes where the process calls for a high temperature and a duration of at least 8 minutes to kill off any possible contaminants.....just saying....I really like the episodes and great progress you and your family are making...Cheers from Australia...I also hope the number plates are retained with the new coop in memory of CWC...
