It is great seeing you both getting full use out of the work shop! You both work very well together, & have a beautiful homestead for your children to grow up on. Love the channel.

[@margaretbelotti1765]

It amazes me how your builds are so precise. I would be lost with all the measurements.I love watching you and your wife building things.

[@lindafoster2141]

I hear the boys! You are such a great wake up call, when I hear Good morning modern steaders,it makes my day!!!

[@robertlafollette8931]

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

[@tales_of_the_crypto1583]

I absolutely love seeing you two build together!

Goodmorning Lumnah acres from alabama. We got 60 an rain. Tonight is 25. This is a very wierd winter. I wonder about spring. Dont wanna talk about summer. Yall got all this spring like weather. NOT not over with by a long shot. Springtime means a lot more work. Need coffee by the truck load.

[@papajoe6254]

What a way to start my day, Lumnah Acres and a cup of coffee, while I contemplate what to make for breakfast 🥣 I like it.

[@blehm2850]

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

[@EllieChristine744]

You are a wise man, buying the products made in your own country will in my opinion safeguard your future. Too many countries outsource their production, and one day they may be in the position that they have little industry themselves and getting too dependent on other nations..

[@Elpoderdelaverd]

This is one of the great videos i have ever seen that includes a one day family story. God Bless you!!!

[@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.

[@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....

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Shawn-rq4py]

I’m in central Al and it’s been raining for a week w no end in sight. Roads all over the state are flooded along w houses. We’re averaging mid 60s and looks like we’ll break 70 next. One weather extreme to the next from our homesteads!

[@cedarwoman2]

Good morning Lumnah family. Everything is looking good on the homestead. Yes feed my girls the grubs to boost their protein, and it does help with the egg production as well. With all the pork you have in your freezer I wanted to suggest making BBQ baked potatoes for dinner one night. Bake a large potato a piece and top it with pulled BBQ shredded pork, shredded cheese, sour cream, diced green onions and bacon bits. Have been making them for many years. Have a blessed day.

[@70acres]

That coop is looking so awesome and I've learned so much from watching this process. Blessings to all.

[@tibbs4000]

Lovely young family. Great stewarts of your land and animals. God bless.

[@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.

[@slrein42]

Recently found your channel and have added you to my daily subscriptions! I have been enjoying your family's farm adventures. Love watching your projects! Your a good team! I really like seeing your lovely wife and daughter making meals too! How did the chicken turn out? I am always looking for new meal ideas too!

[@robinminnesota5491]

Good Frozen Morning from Cokato.... -33 below wind chill.. -15 below temp. Our schools are running 2 hrs late. Spring can't get here soon enough.

[@ronlaverdiere]

Nice to see a couple working so well together to build things! My only comments - the top of the walls should be double plated and for a lean-to style the roof joists should have birds' mouth cuts. Without the birds' mouth cuts the weight of the roof (and everything on the roof) is not directed downwards on the wall, but instead is pushing your walls away from each other.

[@oldchickie]

Hi Gina glad to see you in the kitchen because I would like to know if you have a recipe for chicken filets?Have a great day all of you!

[@sharibushnell190]

Ok I just voted for coop name . and wow new coop is COMING along real good. And i just love the ducks quack quack when they eat so noisy when they eat but that's what I love about them. Well I just wanted to share with you today i mainly watch your vidoes at hime b4 work but today i didn't have the chance so i watched at work , And i shared it with my clients you see I work in a group home with adults with developmental handie caps and they just loved WATCHING it today . So my new thing is to share with my Guys here . have a blessed day all .

[@virginiareid5336]

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

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Love me some Lumnah acres. Find myself looking for your new videos. God Bless you and your family. Dinner looked delish Gina. I do believe you can cook girl. Try some elderberries only a couple per chicken and apple cider vinegar just a splash in their water . You will have healthier chickens along with the egg amounts to go up.. beautiful snow on your homestead.♥️🇺🇸💕

[@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.

[@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!

[@nanigoose]

My girls liked black soldier fly larvae when I first bought them, but then started leaving about half uneaten (I put out about 1/2 cup each morning for four chickens). I am using another brand (Bugs for Birds), which is less expensive, but still USA-raised. I'll try Grubblies to see if the brand makes a difference. The chicken glaze looks really tasty!

[@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.

[@bennym1956]

When I was checking into metal roofing which applies to plastic roofing, they are rated to last 20-30 years - the SCREWS ARE NOT ! This was from roofing installers....

[@cathiwim]

BS Detector great point!

[@shieldzee1]

Must real nice to work on big projects like this thru winter and get head start on summer

[@beverlysmith5658]

Same here my fave KZbin show of all time lol

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Great job! The building is coming along nicely. Oh Gina, the only reason Al beat you in the race is he put his screw half way in before the race started!🤣🤣

[@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.

[@pathfindergeorgia1117]

Goood morning Al, up late again 05:30 which is late for me. Just watched your video which I really enjoy. The content is so fulfilling, I hope that project makes it out of your shop lol.... thanks again and have a blessed day Sir.

[@margaretbedwell58]

I guess it is just the door and y'all will be done with the new coop. Sure does look nice. Will you be putting anything on the floor for easy cleaning???? Have a Blessed day.

[@chocaholicsanon]

great idea for keeping your blooming pencil, i can never find mine. i usually end up putting it into my top knott. lol

[@fjwjr]

How about naming the new chicken habitat ‘Coop de Ville’

[@3DCHome]

fjwjr that’s good!

[@da1shark]

I hope, when pulling the coup out of the workshop, the back won’t tilt up and hit the garage door. Not sure how much drop the outside ground is with the workshop floor. Will be fun to see how much clearance there will be. Looking at the video it will be tight. 😀

[@joshuachristian3102]

One thing about a workshop, no matter how big is it, you eventually realize you need a bigger shop!! Lol

[@bearrivermama6414]

Joshua Christian that is a true statement! We just built a 48x36 and it's full 😳 NO MORE BUILDINGS! Is what I told my husband 😂😂😂

[@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

[@chocaholicsanon]

Al, i feed my chickens, corn for a treat. and the yolks are a lovely yellow colour and flavour. also i do feed them layers pellets.

[@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

[@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.

[@carolinewest2217]

The way we are getting slammed with rain I would gladly trade for snow. I feel water logged. The new chicken coop is shaping up nicely. I hope you and your family have a great day.

[@bay9876]

If they put pontoons under the new chicken coup she could become Noah's Ark in a pinch.

[@VampyRagDoll]

You are right about your animals consuming anything made in china. It sounds awful but there have been so many cases in the UK of a well know company selling dog treats made in china and the dogs dying. I personally wouldn't take a chance with anything consumable because in the end you consume it too.

[@mommabears993]

and dog food.. poor puppers

[@CRuf-qw4yv]

vampy...you are so right. My wife and I will not consume anything from China...and if we had pets, would not feed them same. We are reluctant to even buy and use housewares from there.

Hey Al it looks like the big screws on the front rafters was going in-between the 2 x4s and the siding good luck hope I'm wrong lol

[@garys9694]

Especially the very last one! I noticed how fast it went in, like it was going into nothing.

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

[@cathiwim]

Al, are you going to put the coop on cinder blocks to keep the skids from rotting out?

[@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.

[@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.

[@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..

[@henrytayaotao4008]

[@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.
