We've Never Done it Like THIS! Replicating an 1800's BARN Foundation for our NEXT FARM BUILD

[@joolwing]

This is what I always envisioned homesteading to be. Animals on the farm, winter creeping in, baking in the oven, sun hitting the outbuildings and fall leaves, all connected by love.

[@lindafoster2141]

Your family is a blessing to us older folks who have disabilities that force us to stay on the sofa days at a time. Love seeing how you all work together. We used to guess the egg count, and I had goats that looked like yours. So I wanted to say thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us! God bless. Linda from Indiana.

[@connierifenburg9758]

Linda FOSTER The same for me. Disability wasn’t what I dreamed of for retirement, but being able to watch all their babies farm projects and animals, I feel as if I am following along with Al and Gina every day doing chores and gardens, mowing petting th3 goats and the fur of Figaro ,the super. 👼

[@meanjoegreen4925]

same here I have throat cancer & it has kicked my rear to say it nice. chemo & then this Lymphedema has made my body 2x the size it used to be & the worse thing is there is no cure for Lymphedema,

[@Akkhon369]

I'm only 40 years old and I've had epilepsy since I was 10 years old and for the first 10 years of my life my grandmother kept me at her house and my uncle and his boys had a farm on my grandmother land that my grandfather bought before he passed away in Aug of 1979 so my uncle carried on my grandfather's dream except for the gardening part but all of my cousins that were close to the same age as me we enjoyed having all the animals around and I know I miss it so much and if I wasn't disabled by my seizures I'd love to have a small garden with a few animals like this wonderful family start out small and slowly get more that's a dream of mine!

Yep.... never have liked pullover hoodies.... just too Inconvenient for me. LOVE a good zippered hoodie though!.... fo sho! ;-)

[@keithrayeski6417]

Nice work Al and Gina!! I love watching you two working together...so harmonious...true team work! And Al doesn’t half step anything! No cobbling things together. Precision and perfection to the limits of what you have to work with. If we don’t get up to see you guys before we move into the new h, we really will make the trip after...we’ll be much closer to you then we have been. The homestead looks amazing...what a transformation over the years! It never seems like it when your doing it but looking back, it’s beyond incredible! Stay warm and be safe!

[@anniegaddis5240]

SUGGESTION: Put a gutter on the eve so the water runoff doesn't disintegrate your hill behind those 6x6's. AND you can use that rainwater for drinking water for the animals.

[@marionward5958]

As Al has done that eveywhere, including the mobile pig pen and the chicken coup. I'm betting he already thought of that. 😉😉

[@margaretbedwell58]

@@marionward5958 If I remember rightly, he said he was going to do that in the Spring. I don't think he leaves them up during the winter because of the snow.

[@dollyc4314]

Al always places downspouts in the eaves of the animal shelters that run right into barrels for rainwater. He does get busy, so your reminder is probably a nice way to jog his memory.

[@caninedrill_instructor5861]

@@marionward5958 I mentioned putting a rainwater catchment system on the barn a while ago and Mr. Lumnah said, IIRC, that there hadn't been time, yet. I think he'll be all over it next year.

What great project! The goats are going to love being able to get out there all winter long and not have the snow under foot!

[@margaretbedwell58]

Great video...love the idea of the lean to. With the deep gravel base it should keep it from getting so muddy too. Gina, the banana bread looks delicious, Olivia is going to be so happy when she gets home. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@jay90374]

Pretty sure he said deep bedding not deep gravel😀 gravel is useless for animals. IMHO

[@margaretbedwell58]

@@jay90374 Yes you are right...I was talking about the gravel base he had put down when he was building the barn and then what he put down today gave him a good base for the deep bedding. Remember the mud last year and he would put the straw on top and it would just be mashed into the mud.

[@garyfeltus9801]

It's so nice to watch your videos. Al you are always saying thank to to Willow. That's really nice. I wish more people could be like that. Too many people take things for granted. You all the best thanks for sharing.

[@lisaelliott1149]

A beautiful weekend start with the Lumnah homestead. I'm in awe of your details in planning Al. Knowing that you can always finish the lean to later if you complete the foundation is not something many would know to consider. The goats are going to appreciate that space so much since we know they "melt" in the rain like me🤣 Gina I have to say that is the most beautiful loaf of banana bread I've ever seen. Thanks for that inspiration as I'll definitely be using it on my loafs for gifts. I really like your little measure cups and hopefully you can get us a link? Every time I see those red leaves I immediately think Tanner needs a fall photo shoot with Olivia. Have a blessed day and thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@melissalucero9239]

The barn looks great and I really like the finish on the walls is perfect, adds a rich buttery feel without being too glossy like Al wanted. I loved your answer to the easy peasy part of the vlog. Lol

[@DisabledUKPrepper]

I do enjoy seeing the way the goats interact with Gina. They certainly love her. Looking forward to the lean to. It should be a huge improvement on the ground you had to deal with last winter/spring. I expect the goats will enjoy the extra freedom from the bad weather as well. Not to mention, if you get guttering up, and a storage system in place, it would help take the pressure off you carrying water, although that's more likely an advantage for the warmer months. Always a good idea to channel water to where you want it to go, regardless.

[@Ronibearable]

Gina, love love your solo vids, great job. You are very soft spoken though and it's hard to hear you, if you could speak louder it would be great. Thank you. By the way, I searched and found those mason jar lids with the spouts you use, and I totally Love them! I think that I may order another couple of boxes for gifts.

It was nice to see you put that back fence in. All the sudden it was there when I was watching other videos so now I know what you did. Really nice fall colors. Wow, mowing that new pasture is quite the project! Our place had been foreclosed on so it was all brambles. We didn't even know we had fences in some areas. We had to use a self propelled walk behind mower to mow for the first time!

Every morning I have a cup of coffee with cream, watch your video for fifteen minutes, then head out to do my chores 😁 finish watching the other half after lunch. I would say that is a good morning.

[@tonimitchell9930]

You need to put your new t-shirt designs on sweatshirts. Put those goats to work mowing that pasture.......way more fuel efficient. I love the lean-to idea for the goats. I am amazed at all you have accomplished this year!! Great video as usual.

Good mornin Moose Crossing .... you don't really get a perspective on just how small the goats are until you see them next to Figaro. Pluto & Tanner crack me up .... Tanner gives as good as he gets, and doesn't seemed to be phased one bit about Pluto bowling him over ~8^) Yep .... a leanto will really come in handy, plus you can use up a lot of the lumber left over from the barn build ... win-win. This winter will be very interesting to see how all this pans out. Best of luck Take care AL, Gina & Olivia.

Hi, Al. Haven't commented in a long while. I don't need to anymore! Your subscriber count looks great. The new feeding container bothers me (knee and back empathy). If you're doing feed and milk every day, then its way too low and rough on the back. Why not build a station there so its at hand level with everything else you need?

[@tvcat3665]

Was thinking the same thing. He's young and doesn't feel it yet, but put it up higher even if It's a tempory stand. He can make a nice shelf later.

[@brendamontanye9877]

my aching back too :) He could stack another on top, and use it for the same pellets or kelp or something less often used. Or, what I did was to purchase these lids when they are on sale on Amazon (about $8, way better than the $12-15 they mostly cost; bought them 6 or 8 at a time) and put them on food safe 5g buckets. These stack easily and 2 high is a good height for scooping out food. I use them for chicken feed and kelp and minerals and alfalfa pellets and DE and etc. The lids are so easy to open and work so well for keeping the food fresh and safe. In fact, I first used them (and still do) in the pantry for flour, oats, oils, etc. Very convenient and bug proof. Love those lids, but not the sideways container.

[@donnadunlop]

[@kevinbaker6168]

Al, you are just going to break down and buy a 4 foot brush cutter for your tractor. The belly mower is fine for areas you keep cut that you are only cutting off one or two inches of growth. That field was too tall and rank for it. Use the right tools and the job will be easier on you and the tools.

[@mariemorris3349]

Wow the trees colors are amazing❤

Hello Gina and Al, Just a friendly note; I would like to pull your attention to this lady on youtube "Becky's homestead"... by the title of "what to feed your chickens so they lay eggs all year around"... She have a couple of video's very educational. I found her passion really lovely about her chickens her explanation is really uplifting. Of course the choice is yours in the end of the day I just did listen to your comment how the chicken laying less eggs now... God bless

Good morning Al and Gina, if you like walnuts try chopping them up and put them in your banana bread. Delicious! I hope you have a blessed day, stay warm and dry.

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Another great video Al, lovely seeing you and Gina working together on another building project, you’ll have to train her to count the eggs correctly though!! Ha ha. God bless you.

[@HansQuistorff]

Try widrowing the leaves to the side of the driveways with the mower deck. That works for me.

[@kiwimacscottish6759]

Al, just a reminder snow, wind and rain come from all different directions something to take into consideration when building your over hang . I'm not a fan of the back of the barn it's too secluded, and I don't think you can see back there from the house. I am wondering why you didn't choose the window side for you over hang? Lots more sun there in the winter as I don't see the goats heading down into the pasture area in the winter. Too much snow and ice. 🇨🇦

[@kiwimacscottish6759]

kimi that's Al's problem...lol... 🙂 He should have thought about putting in skylights like he did when he did the old goat barn 🙂 It doesn't look like much light gets in there now. If you notice when Al opens the milking room door it's still pretty dark in there. I have also notice when Al opens the middle stall door so much more light enters. 🇨🇦

[@jay90374]

The way he is doing it makes the most sense!

[@bendigr]

find a used 48" brush cutter. your going to just tear it up over the next few years till you have all those high sitting rocks removed. dont beat up your MMM on your kubota. Too expensive to keep replacing & repairing.

[@jay90374]

Yep, kind of surprised he hasn't busted a spindle already!

[@betpatpatten3840]

Spring Hollow Sure sounds like a good idea to me! If cost is a price, look for a used one. Cheaper than your Kubota repair!!

[@diabetim7838]

Oooh that banana bread looks good. I like to make mine with a bit of sour cream added, say 1/2 a cup, give or take. Plain yogurt works too. (might need to tweak the flour just a bit) Yummm.

[@tswilborn]

I’m not sold on the idea of setting the 6x6’s on the ground/gravel like that. The rebar spikes are not strong enough to hold it in place. It is going to rot sooner than the 25 year guarantee and a load on the roof is going to cause the footer to slip out. Maybe you could dig a few holes and pour concrete, that would give you a solid anchor point and get it up off the ground to allow air flow to prevent premature rot. Just a thought

[@Lpsb232]

Gina:”Was that supposed to happen?” (when the long drillbit separated from the drill) lol!! 😆 made me laugh out loud, the sarcasm appeals to my sense of humor.

[@fionajane56]

Great idea for the lean-to foundation. It will be a great cool breezeway area in summer heat as well as dry shelter in winter. Have you considered using your electric netting to let the goats trample/snack on some of the new pasture? They follow you anywhere with a bucket so it would be easy to give them daily outings. We do this with our sheep in areas that just need a bit of weed control or rough trimming. I loved the “Was that easy peasy?.......No [said in a firm voice] that was not easy peasy!” 😂😂😂😂

[@diannasills217]

The bread looked yummy. I love the idea of the lean to. I'm sure the goats will enjoy it. Should Figaro have his own tee shirt? He is so inquisitive. Like CWC you never know where you'll see him. Funny how he's interested in being around the goats. Love you guys. Take care.

[@jyndev4570]

Al should build a hinged staircase up to the loft to replace the ladder. I would think it would make it easier to get up and down from the loft versus the ladder; then they could store it in the up position to save floor space.

[@donaldmiller8629]

Goooooooood Morning Al , Gina & Olivia , Got my coffee so I can settle in and see what you are up to today. Ah , your tractor is still functioning as a tractor even if you can't mow with it. So you are not completely out of the game. Speaking of the game. My grandson was drafted by the Boston Red Sox. He is still in their rookie league. But one day you may get to watch Dean ( Deano ) Miller Jr. play baseball. He made a plan when he was nine years old to play Major League Baseball and so far everything that he planned has been working out. Very exciting to watch a person's dreams come true. Your dreams as well . Good planning and preparation helps a lot. That gravel base should drain well and help with the goat mud hole issues. A hint for you. That roof overhang on the right side of the barn is sufficient winter shelter for two or three Scottish Highland cattle. ( the Highland cattle are very hardy ) They would provide you with both premium beef and premium milk ! Simeon of Swedish Homestead ( on U-Tube ) uses a mobile milking station to milk Bella in the field . At one time when I suggested to Simeon that he milk his cows, he replied that they were beef cattle. Well , yes , but they also provide milk for their calves and could be milked for humans also. Simeon found out that it was true. The Highland cows provide a milk that is on a par with if not superior to that of Jersey cows. So you get both meat and dairy from the Highland cows. Plus they do a super job of improving your pasture. And no more mowing of your pasture !

[@robine916]

Congrats to your grandson, how wonderful!

[@donaldmiller8629]

@Robin E , Thank You I'm quite proud of Deano. Not quite so much for playing baseball as for making his plan and having it come to fruition. He made his plan at age nine. He planned to play high school baseball which he did. As a high school ball player he was invited to play in a summer league in Michigan with college level players. Deano was selected as that league's Most Valuable Player. Next was to play baseball for the local Jr. College. Which he did as part of his plan. Next on his agenda was to play baseball for the University of California at Riverside , ( his home town ) which he did . And was selected as the Player of the year . His plan was to be drafted by his favorite team , the Dodgers. Instead he was drafted by the Atlanta Braves. Which he turned down in order to finish school. And this year he was drafted by the Boston Red Sox , which he accepted. Now , we will see how far he can go . Professional baseball has a lot of competition.

[@robine916]

@@donaldmiller8629 WOW! So cool! My father-in-Law and his twin were drafted to the Braves (pitcher/catcher combo)and played almost a full season before being drafted into the Army! (they are 86 now). I'll tell my Hubby to keep an eye out in case he moves up!

[@donaldmiller8629]

@Robin E , I also have more connection to baseball although I am not really a baseball fan. I find live games to be rather boring. lol If I watch baseball at all I would rather watch it on TV. The baseball that I like is Little League baseball . Those kids play with heart if not skill. A further connection to baseball is that Danny Darwin of the Houston Astros is my brother-in-law's cousin. I did like the free tickets when they were playing the Dodgers. lol I believe that Danny is retired now. Another connection is that Jim Thome of the Cleveland Indians used to live across the road from me. We were not friends of course but I used to talk with him at the supermarket. Some day , Deano will be playing against Cleveland. Yay , free tickets again. lol He could even stay with me as I do not live far from Cleveland.

Nice job on the 6 x 6's Al & Gina... I did something quite similar using 9' R/R ties for my 18 x 20 future building site. I pre-drilled my ties at opposite angles at each end & drove in 1/2" x 4' re-bar until they bottomed out & cut any excess off with a paddle grinder. I overlapped the tops of the ties with 2 x 6 PT sill plates screwed down with 2.5" primer coated deck screws. Underneath all of this is 18,000 Lbs. of 2.5" minus stone, leveled & packed. Gina you are WIZ in the kitchen btw & I enjoy watching your methods. Confession: For my banana bread I use Krusteaz Muffin Mix poured into a Pyrex loaf pan. 1/2 cup of water, 1/3 cup of oil & (3) eggs & I add a dash of cinnamon too! PS: I like your recipe better... Bill on the Hill... :~)

[@arjenhillenius1917]

You might have some electric fence left. Use it to make a pen for the goats. Take some grain in a bucket in the morning, walk ahead of them, feed the grain in the enclosed area and they'll mow the big field quite a bit. You won't have to feed hay! Just move the fence a bit every day.

With all this nice wood you can build an outdoor over for cake and bread making.

They have the outdoor kitchen with a wood cook stove.

Patrick in Ottawa : They don’t use it then. I have been watching this channel since January. I cannot remember seeing this outdoor oven a single time.

@@bookmarkmonaco4255 They don't have an outdoor oven. They have an outdoor kitchen (separate building from the main house) with the wood cook stove. Then the kitchen in the main house. This year with all the building projects, they've only used the outdoor kitchen once and it was only a few minutes in a video. If memory serves correct, they only finished the interior and connected the stove this year. I'm sure you will see it used more often in the future.
