[@juantransportador]

Hello, from Chihuahua Mexico, I just saw your video of the breakfast pizza, thank you for sharing, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

[@addieanderson2043]

We made three sets of barn doors for our home. One set we made served as a wall in one end and the other sliding door was moved to get in to a decided area to form a third bedroom or man cave. They turned out beautiful. This space was a room when originally built but the previous owner removed the wall. My husband made a foe beam to cover the exposed two by four on the ceiling. Watching you build your doors helped a great deal. Thank you for your instructive content.

[@glorialeach7301]

Love watching the building, the cooking, the animals, AND you three ❤️❤️❤️

[@audreyabdo7719]

Gina I wanted to tell you, I made a very hearty beef stew and it had turnips, potatoes and finely chopped cilantro and fresh barley.made cornbread that was nice and sweet and spreadable. Oh I need more.

An assembly table is a great accessory for the workshop. It allows you to assemble project while standing, the older you get the harder it is to work down on your knees. Great looking doors for the coop.

Nice job! Love the doors, I'm not a carpenter, I've never made anything out of wood, so I watch you and it's very satisfying. Ahhhh!

[@PRShoup]

Al and family, This is my first comment. My wife and I have been watching you for about 9 months and decided early on we would back up and watch you Gina, and Olivia from the beginning. We just caught up yesterday! Wow, it took a long time! We have enjoyed all of your videos and your willingness to share with the world. You are a blessing to many people by giving them inspiration to do more of whatever (their more) might be. I am proud of your work ethic and outlook on life. Keep it up!! Blessings always...Floyd and Vicky

Another amazing structure, Al. Beautiful with the cherry trim.

[@vmorganbogart]

The chicken palace looks awesome! Love the cherry trim. Your carpentry skills never cease to amaze me. Gina’s carpentry skills are improving day by day. Of course, she’s got a great teacher. I have never seen cornbread baked in a loaf pan. Being from Texas, my family has always cooked it in a cast iron skillet. If you like the crusty edges, you will love it. Those ribs looked delicious! Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️😁🙏

I love an iron skillet for cornbread also Vicki.....I am from Ft. Worth (Haltom City) also but live in Virginia now since 1970. Oh how I miss Texas though. Have a Blessed day.

Margaret Bedwell - Once a Texan, always a Texan. We’ll welcome you back anytime! I was born & raised in Dallas. I moved to Ft. Worth about 20 years ago, after being in San Antonio for several years. I love Ft. Worth. It is so much slower paced than Dallas.

[@margaretbedwell58]

@@vmorganbogart Actually, I am not a native Texan, I moved to Texas when I was 18 (my Dad transferred there from Canada)but even though I have lived in Va. longer than in Canada or Texas, I still call Texas home. I went to a school food service conference in San Antonio back in the 80's I think it was, and when I stepped off the plane I just felt like I had come back home. Your so right about the slower pace in Ft. Worth. I rarely went to Dallas. So nice to visit with you.

[@RedHotFiat]

Great design! With minor changes, it could be used for a lot of different things around a home or homestead! Oh, those ribs look soooo good! I have made shed doors before but I always made them with a 2x4 frame so I could but shelves on the door. Very handy for storing oil for the power tools, wasp spray(I am highly allergic to wasps), garden hand tools, weed trimmer string, etc.

[@70acres]

I ordered the hinges and door latches for my coop build, whenever that ends up happening. Your coop has turned out amazing, as always. Those ribs looked awesome! Blessings to all.

The chicken coop is looking great you guys should try your ribs next time in the instant pot it takes less than an hour to cook them in the instant pot and then finish them in the oven with the barbecue sauce on it they are delicious we usually put a little bit of apple cider vinegar in with the ribs in the instant pot and the taste is just out of this world thanks John😎👍

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

In the beginning, 1st time Al come to feed the chickens, I loved seeing the girls in the background running back to the feeder. They are comical to watch. I love how nice the Chicken coop looks. I think those hens will love there nesting boxes even when they're not sitting.

Gooooood Mawnin' Al! Hey great coop/brooder build series. Man its amazing how many facets of life in northern New Hampshire are not even remote thoughts here on Long Island. I was thinking of how many times I've driven north to NH and VT for skiing. There was often a smack of cold in your face when you'd get out of your car after 3 or 4 hours of nonstop driving. I remember the cold snap that felt so refreshing at first and the further Noth you traveled the quicker your thought turned toward finding heat and a second jacket! Brrrrrr! Keep warm Al 😨

Good advice, making your own doors. The place I bought had just standard store bought doors in the barn and sheds. I'm going to give this a try, so I can get the feed carts in and out without jamming the wheels!! Your channel is very inspirational, all the building you do. Although I don't have all those tools, I am making do with the ones I have and the projects keeps adding up!

with all of your movable sheds a suggestion. if you line the bottom of the skids with plastic (like they use in manure spreaders or dump truck) the slide so much easier and less likely to freeze down. have found cut offs for good price. love your videos Dave

[@raynall3593]

Great build, i like the doors you make, so easy to do and they always look great when they are hung up. Gives me lots of ideas for things i am building. Ribs look delicious and i will have to try that corn bread, never had that before.

[@PatricesProjects]

I haven't made doors before, but I have made door frames, and that was intimidating. I have made a few gates, if that counts. I feel for everyone getting frozen in that cold snap. I wish we were a bit colder and wetter. We're having a particularly warm and super dry beginning of the year. I really like how the coop is turning out. And those ribs looked incredible.

Hi my names stuart , I'm from england and gina did pronounce Worcestershire sauce correctly , p.s. love watching you guys

[@bobbikuhn3496]

I have made wooden gates for my wood fence before. I wish I knew then what I have learned now from watching you. :)

[@HilltopFarmHomestead]

The best thing about making your own doors is they always fit. Even if the top of the doorway is two inches wider than be bottom, you just make them the irregular size and shape. It's the same as gates. The gate to our duck pen is much wider at the top than the bottom. A pre-made gate would never fit but I made one to the odd shape and it's perfect.

[@jeannecooke4862]

I so admire all of you...being a Nature Lover, I wonder if Al would consider building some bat boxes for your Homestead from your wood scraps....the bats would appreciate it...they can be installed on your trees or outbuildings...cheers! Prayers for all if you!

I usually add some cream style corn to my corn bread when I make it. It makes the corn bread more moist and enhances the flavor.

[@jasonskerbitz298]

Yep!.... sour cream is another good option.... for the very same reason(s). ;-)

[@kenhart6330]

Nice Hen Coop, as I call them Al, just a bit small compared with my Grandfathers. He kept over 200 chickens for over 50 years. Great to see how you work with and around them, pity they aren't fully free range ours had about an acre of land to roam around in. We had to go looking for the eggs in scrapes, under bushes as well as the nest boxes Gina your pronunciation of Worcestershire sauce was almost correct. Here in Northeast England we pronounce it wustersher.

Al you have some good ideas for building all the time. I would love to build a chicken Coop like the one in this video but I would build one 6 to 8ft longer that way I could introduce chickens into the herd all the time, like layers, meat birds and turkeys and ducks and geese for the wife.

[@John.117]

Al - love the doors you build. When you put the horizontal cross brace on the door, it looks like two sections - an upper and a lower. You can also add a diagonal brace in the upper and again in the lower section to help further support the weight/keep the door from moving out of square. At least one in the lower section, that passes the weight to where the hinge mounts, would enhance structural integrity. In any case - you're there doing it... so if it's light and you're not worried about shift... then hopefully it'll stand up to the test of time and use... as is. Thanks for sharing as always.
