[@buggy4cars]

Allie you are an angel. Always a beautiful smile, a terrific attitude and a real lack of fear and a real interest in wanting to expand your abilities. You guys should have a wonderful future ahead of you when you both pull in the same direction to complete the job at hand. You’re very lucky to have a woman like her at your side Trent. Don’t ever take her for granted, she’s the exception not the rule. Best to you both always.

[@brucedunham1463]

[@SteveHainesCounsellor]

Hi guys. Just a little tip. I used to keep chickens and ducks. I constructed a pen and hutch, very similar to yours. Unfortunately I went up there one morning and a fox had dug underneath and killed them all. This was in a much more urban area than yours are too. So please consider burying some mesh around the pen. So that critters can't dig holes, because they can! Bury and peg down mesh from the wooden base and back for perhaps a foot or so is sufficient. Just below the ground. I would hate that to happen to you guys or your Mum. Good Luck Guys. From the UK.

[@craighatch3221]

Steve Haines Counsellor that is perfect advice, we did that and have never lost a chicken. They say that on average you lose 90 to 95% of your chickens at night when in their coop.

[@LovingAtlanta]

Steve Haines Counsellor - 👍Great idea. 💝 Sorry to hear about what happened to your chickens and ducks. 😔

[@susanthursdays5008]

Yep, I’ve heard too many “murdered chicken” stories, in just this year, alone - 2020. Seems like “chicken” is a meal that their predators have it in their DNA to ‘seek, find, and “get-at’em”, in ways we hate to imagine. But, worst is those who have woken or been stirred in the night, to find a horribly vicious scene, and the loss of their chickens. Unfortunately , there are many who can share their experiences - wear they were vulnerable and what they’ve each had to do to mitigate the chances of a recurring episode. Trent and Allie, this is the benefit of having a community of loyal followers who care about y’all succeeding and keeping safe and your farm animals, protected, as much as possible. I started questioning, ‘what is going one”? Are there more predetors? Are there more people raising chickens? ... I dont know the answer, it could be: both. But, regardless, the concern at this point is to protect you farm animals. Al Trent said the other day, “you’ve all put a lot , A LOT!! - of work, perhaps more than you first bargained for, - into building the chicken coop, the chicken run, the fencing for the goats, thee barn and bedding area for the goats and on and on and on .... So, listen to the words of those of fought and lost. I have NO experience, but I have heard this story too many times this year, to not make me curious and want to “pull for the safety of the chicks and farm animals - and all the hard work and investment made my so many people, including Trent and Allie. Thank you @Steve Haines Counsellor !

[@batMelek]

Yes! Absolutely!! Our neighbors, who were encouraged to raise chickens when they saw our set up, had the heads of evey last one of their 30 chickens literally separated from their bodies apparenyly by a gang of racoons that laid in wait while one or two of them frightened all the chickens out of their hen house to their fence enclosed yard, where, in their panic to escape, they all poked their heads through the holes in the chicken wire!! So, in addition to burying some fencing at least 2½ feet in the ground, I'd try to find finer mesh chicken wire, or figure out another way to keep those chickens safe!

[@PlantyGal05]

It’s awesome that Allie is learning to build stuff and use tools. My Dad taught me growing up how to build stuff and use his tools, then I apprenticed with a farrier and learned a ton, now my husband and I do home improvement projects together. They are our tools, not just his! It’s important for a woman to be knowledgable and confident in that area.

[@mtkids3558]

Last week you commented about an electrical box that isn't grounded. Trent, you can get a copper grounding rod and drive it into the ground under the box, run a wire from the ground on the outlet to the rod, clamp it to the rod with the ground rod clamp. This is not good not having this grounded. Don't want to fry any of those babies your raising. Love your videos.

[@AmericanPatriot-m7v]

This is good sound advise I was an electrician for over 30 years and a good ground is a must .

Their insurance company would have something to say if their little barn burns down due to the wiring. After all, he documented it in the last video. 🤔

[@Creative-Chaos]

@@gufredd9675 I hope they read this. Especially his mother- since she is the home owner.

[@lightningdemolition1964]

I am not an electrician but I remember seeing that there should only be one ground point in a system. Having separated ground rods in different parts of the system could lead to problems. I think that the only way to fix it is by running the proper grounded wires or just leave it as is. Don't take my word for it but ask a local electrician because different areas might have different requirements.

I went looking but couldn't find my fox-proofing articles. But in a nutshell; use another layer of wire on top of the one u got now - and UNTIDY is better cos taut wire foxes can climb and walk on - up to roof - and walk on roof. So add another untidy ayer - they'll get their paws caught up in it and be deterred. Put a couple of those garden solar lights close together near the gate - they will think it's an animal guarding - and hang some broken cd's that randomly reflect light and things woven into fence that clang in the wind n scare them. tidy and taut wire is easy to traverse. they will go in thru the roof and chew away wire gradually. hardest bit for you to do at this late stage is bury into - and along all perimeters at least 2 feet deep - 3 feet is better ....some of that curvy fence stuff (we call it corrugated hardy or iron) ...it can be about 9 inches above the ground. yes - they dig under fences as well. ...the fence will help keep snakes out too. dunno bout racoons - but surely these measures should work. having Oso is good too. ....cos male urination along periphery helps keep predators away too. Points of entry are weak spots ....so having like a two gated system....like an entrance porch is good too. And please give them a couple of rocks or something else to climb around . ...plus elevate their water ....and food so they can't kick dirt into them either. Are those wonderful planter boxes gonna be where the goats can get them?!

Some odd reason, today you reminded me of an eye opener, for me, about my husband. Short version 😂 My employer set me to solve a problem that wouldn't exist today, but in 1996, it was a head scratcher. They also wanted me to fully document the process. As I was writing it up, I would take it home for polishing, and as I was writing for engineers who didn't necessarily understand technician's processes (CAD specifically), I would have my husband proof read because he was really good at picking apart what doesn't make sense. I got the process figured out, and the tome completed, gave it to my bosses, figuring I'd start on actually doing the project that afternoon. Instead they asked me if I knew someone who could do the job I invented, with this list of qualifications. They wanted me back on the main project. Other than knowledge of MicroStation (CAD), they described my husband. He was going back to school at the time, and his afternoon was free. Discussion ensued. Details aside, I got them to agree. Then they hit me between the running lights. I was to supervise the project. Now... We'd worked together before, but always as equals. But, remembering, the supervisors we'd had, mixed reviews about him... But it was the supervisors that were good that adored him. So I figured if I had a problem, was me that needed to change my attitude. I sorta thought this out loud, and that clamped it for the bosses. So... First day, first two hours... He drove me freaking NUTS! I sorta forgot I had him helping me with proof reading... I sorta forgot he had been a research technician for that field when we were first married... He kept jumping ahead of what I was trying to teach him. When he complained that I was being redundant, I lost my cool and pointed at the computer "show me what you got". He did. Beautifully. First time on MicroStation (and he was just learning about computer basics at the time). My ego punched holes in the three floors over my head and put a new crater on the moon. I backed off and fumed. I can't remember what I was thinking exactly, until THAT THOUGHT. "HERE I SET ASIDE 3 WEEKS TO TRAIN HIM AND I WAS ONLY HOPING HE'D BE AT THIS POINT!" *😳* I'm 3 weeks ahead of schedule...? It was at that time I noticed that the big boss had wandered down the hall, was standing at the other end of the bull pen, staring at me hard. Never saw such a look of terror as when I grinned at him and waved him over...😂 Incidentally... We got that job done six weeks ahead of schedule... The rest of my career I tried my damnedest to get to work with him again.

Good point.

Wow!!!! some of you people are ridiculous with your speeches about what you did 20 yrs ago no one really cares It's not like we all personally know anyone in the comment sections of most videos, and to top it off, most people won't even read your autobiography.

Crazy Canuck~ The internet is for all to express freely hopefully w/o critical critiquing~ I love to read about people’s past experiences, because you never know where that nugget of “something learned” is hidden, if you do not... please skip ahead to another comment~ I respect Trent & Allie and all they do, try & ultimately succeed ~They have great content and I enjoy reading the comments, because they typically attract like minded individuals....kind, considerate, patient, passionate & above all “respect of all walks of life”

[@TheDollylala]

Crazy Canuck, hush. I liked that story a lot but reading your whining not so much...

[@boxman48patrickcasey32]

I started watching Trent and Allie videos because I thought you were a couple of nice kids going to some really cool places in that amazing van...very enjoyable stuff, indeed. Over the past several months my esteem for you has grown by leaps and bounds. You have both shown the character and maturity to deal with whatever life throws at you. This latest chain of events, and the way you're both handling them, has put you to "the test" in so many ways...and you are coming through with flying colors. Now that we've had glimpses of the families you both come from, it's no big surprise you are the down to earth people we see in theses videos. Always love the fact that you are so fond of, and caring, for animals. Frank is a star...and Oso and the chicks and goats are on their way as well. Your mom is lucky to have you there, and you're both lucky to have the families the helped mold you into really good people. Stay healthy and strong !!!

That MoonShade looks super nice. Cool product.

[@georgeholmes1837]

Hi Guys It was great today to see Allie let loose ( after a bit of training) with the power tools. good for you Trent for letting her be a big part of the farm build up. Share the time and get closer as you are a super couple. take care.

Lift with your LEGS, not your BACK!" Our most frequently mentioned safety tip when I worked at the USPS for 32 years. (You were being facetious, weren't you, Allie?!) AWESOME planter boxes! So strong looking! Trent, I've always understood the term "control freak" to be a pejorative one, containing an inference of meanness and being unpleasant with others. You are not that! For you, let's use more positive words like, "competent," " multi-skilled," and definitely "awesome work ethic!" And the same for you, Allie! What a trooper you are: AND you cook! You guys make me look pretty darn lazy here, watching KZbin videos. Let me get up from here and make that Quiche and curtido (yep, the Salvadoran slaw) I was thinking about! 🤔😉 P.S. Wonderful Birthday Dinner for Trent's Mom! She's amazing and deserves all these great things you are doing for her. Hope her Mother's Day was just as special.

Well done your mum looks so happy now you are both back home. Now its time for you to build a house together and continue on to your next adventure. Have seen a lot of vanies go home and look so happy.

[@catherineh7988]

Love to see how you do the coffee using the coffee machine in your van, and then give it to Allie :). Why you guys haven't created a coffee (bean) brand for yourselves. Happy birthday to Trent's mom.

[@angelajohnson5728]

The bean brand is a good idea.

[@kristinkiel8890]

Happy Birthday Trent's Mom! Ooooh.....another barn art quilt panel! (8:57) It goes by many names, most commonly 'Churn Dash' block. Are those recipes in your cookbook? We are really enjoying watching all your accomplishments!

Take a look at Lumnah Acres. They have some really good ideas for raising goats and chickens. The main thing I have noticed is that he feeds outside. It cuts down on the waste inside. He also builds his feeders and housing.

[@trevorjarvis3021]

They certainly need to watch Lumnah Acres - they are great with goats!

Living in south Texas, a big help in the blazing sun is wearing white/light colors you won't believe how much cooler you'll be. Farm is looking good!
