I don't leave a lot of comments, but thought I would let you know we have been watching you guys for a long while now. My youngest son and I watch you every school day morning while he eats his breakfast. He loves your channel. He likes to watch you build things and thinks he wants to own a farm someday. (He is 11.) :-)

[@mariowickel456]

Love the door design on the interior side, great job. And the split design is awesome with the overlap. Keep up the good work . Absolutely loving your journey. Ciao

[@DrHoyt]

I was reading another homesteader I follow and your name was mentioned three different times for the best build of a chicken coop. Your building skills are making their way around. Congratulations

[@Maxid1]

29:52 That was a pretty impressive bait and switch Hope pulled on the other goats leading them to the hay on the mountain only to leave it and go to the hay on the ground. Very strategic.

[@cathymiller5071]

Gina you need to make a cookbook of the meals you and Al make. I love to watch both of you cook. Simple,healthy easy meals like y’all cook look so good.

"Frozen goat turds hurt when you kneel on 'em" Another golden lesson learned from KZbin! Thanks for taking one for the team, Al!

[@leonakobe8895]

I'm sill laughing about the frozen goat turds, LOL!!! That was a good one Al. Love your family. Have a very Merry Christmas!

[@kristiandlance]

I’ve been laughing over this same thing! 😂😂 “frozen goat turds... hurt when you kneel on them!” I’ll remember that and avoid kneeling on them! 😂 love all the little lessons we’ve learned!

If I had a nickel for every time I've used that phrase. :)

[@sylviabutler4809]

What a great way to build and install barn doors. Just love your sense of humour Al and easy manner of 'chatting' with your viewers. When I saw you kneeling on icy ground, I wondered why of why doesn't he wear knee pads, then cracked up on your comment about the 'frozen goat turds feeling like pebbles'. Fabulous meal Gina and happy to see that you also got outside today to know for the future that you also hung a super barn door. You work so well as a team

Yes, please Al and Gina, build a smokehouse! Every one of your videos is great and more fun than the one before!

[@jiwinjaipol1312]

Al's door installation skill is expert now. ❤❤❤😊

[@SMichaelDeHart]

Goood morning Al and family. A smoke house sounds like a great idea. My first suggestion would be a sugar cured country ham in place of the prosciutto. Nothing like country ham, red eyed gravy, scratch biscuits, fried eggs and grits on a cold mornin'.

[@rosejafari8917]

You're making me hungry. Love that kind of southern country breakfast.

[@wendy833]

Little Miss Hope, such a fluffer. She is so gentle. I like the progress on the doors.

Me roo. I hope we can afford a metal barn in Feb and I'm looking forward to dividing it like Al.

[@patmaier6917]

I’ve watched for few years. I’m the same way, can’t wait to see what has happened.

[@tmjb00]

Gina should design a Lumnah Acres T-shirt or logo with the phrase “I like it!” on it.

[@Rickimusic]

So glad you found how to make clean holes on both side with a spade or forstner bit. With big holes we use two drill motors, one with a forstner and the other with a hole saw. Perfectly clean holes every time.

[@broman9216]

from an old carpenter...when you are hitting a piece of wood {trim) or some piece that will show.. don't hit it with the hammer...use a piece of scrap and put it between the hammer head and the board you are adjusting.. this will protect the trim from all those ugly hammer head dents on what you will see. :)

[@nathanielsizemore8594]

Good morning Al, Gina and Olivia. On the interior trim of the doors, I would have put in a thin layer of felt to help block drafts. Excellent Dutch Door builds.

[@haileyfitzgibbon5360]

Would LOVE if you guys did a Q&A video sometime soon! Love watching your farm!

[@rgcwow]

Hey Al it was good theater & gutsy when you to attempted your failed lemon meringue pie on camera. Notwithstanding you are overdue for your 2nd attempt at a successful Lemon Meringue pie. Again no pre-testing off camera of your recipe results! Or if you are chicken maybe Gina & Olivia can show you on camera how to do it right.😂 LOL

[@lindapeterson9267]

I think it is really smart to do double doors....nice work....lovely

[@ScottTheTrucker80]

It's good to have projects like these. That looks like good weather to work in. You coming from a construction job, you're not new to cooler weather work.

[@TheUserid82]

If you still have the ice on the paths a trick to get it to melt faster without needing salt or chemicals is a simple mattock, sledge hammer or even a maul to go along the ice and break into smaller chunks to increase the surface area the warmer temps can attack it. When Ice is a sheet you reduce where the temperatures can melt it from to the top and edges. No need to go digging to get under the ice just some good solid hits from above to break the sheet into parts and simply let the above melting temperatures do the rest for you. Have you thought about getting a few turkey to roam the pasture for thanksgiving next year?

[@dgmills5351]

The two doors done, only 1 more door to go! Another super project finished! Good guessing Olivia! Two days in a row on the egg count!

[@kathyjones8656]

Keeping all of you in my prayers! 💕

[@RumMonkeyable]

Hope is becoming quite the little leader! Good for her! She's put up with the others pushing her around.....now, she's coming into her own. Al, you make installing the barn doors look so easy! And, the latches were perfectly aligned and installed, too. You and Gina always amaze us with your skills. P.S. An IG photo of the solar mason jar in the barn window is highly anticipated.

[@selador11]

If you built a bridge over the brook, you could then use that as a "pinch point" to catch pictures of the animals. They will quickly learn that it is the way to cross the brook and stay dry.

[@Andrea_J]

I love your enthusiasm! Merry Christmas. 🎄❤🙏❤🎄

Haven't heard 'angle of the dangle' since I lived back East. lol Your little barn kit has turned into your vision of a barn. I like it! We get Coyotes around our place in Colorado...looks like their scat. Good looking Ham you baked Gina. Olivia sure got excited to see the new doors installed. Love seeing the animals.

[@annamariatakacs5727]

Hello Al & Gina, Al yes! Build a smoke room! Hmmmmm all the small smoked goodies, nom nom nom!

[@NiSt1975]

I really think one of the next projects you build would be a pond for your ducks! You have a natural water source on your property to actually fill it! What are some of your ideas for future projects? Have you thought about doing any live streams or doing a q&a session with your wife and daughter? I'd love to hear their ideas for the homestead! Love your channel!

[@michaelbass6176]

If you have wifi in the house use a good wifi booster and use 4knightvision cameras at the barn to watch pasture

[@janetwithers7427]

Great to see those doors done. You do great work Al. I like Olivia's window solar light. I would like to see when it is working at night. Can't believe you have no animals showing up on the trail cam. The ham looked so good. 🎄💖🎅⛄☃️🎇❄️❄️🎄

[@kimberlyallison3598]

Hi Al! I don’t know anything about raising farm animals, but am curious to know if you have to sanitize the stalls periodically. Especially when you put the piglets in the nursery side of the barn. Maybe you already do this, but haven’t shown us on a video. Hope you, Gina, Olivia and your fur babies all have a blessed holiday.

[@flbeachinggirl]

The Door is beautiful!

[@doreenwhitehead4870]

I do love Hope. She is a great goat. Not afraid of anything. Has the right "tude".

[@hollyslaughter5505]

If you sprinkle a bit of ash from the woodstove on the ice. It’s dark and promotes solar gain to melt ice. It adds grip to the ice to prevent slipping. ❄️ Caution if you use it near the house be careful toe black in the house.

[@patmaier6917]

holly slaughter, such a nice tip! Thank you!

[@charlesreohr6236]

That was a very wise suggestion.

[@ronporter610]

Would you consider putting a small piece of lexan in the doors to act as a window? Would create more light in that area.

Good morning. Al, have you ever tried a Vix Bit? Not that you're having an issue with centering the bit but they are amazing. I'm a carpenter by trade and these make installing hardware a breeze.

Oh wow, that ham did look good. Cant wait till I get everything done so I can start raising our meat too.

Don't know if winds are a problem in your area, but if they are, you might want to consider some restraints on the swinging upper parts of your barn door.

Hey Al! I really like your barn. You have done a great job with all your buildings. On a side note, I was out hanging the last of my Christmas lights last night and as soon as I came in the house a couple of coyotes walked through the yard and over the the neighbors. Most of the time you never see them but you will really enjoy your trail cams. I think you will be surprised what’s out there.
