I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been âFINDING A BETTER WAYâ in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and soâŠ.. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

I like the original true color of the beams. If your first thought was to stain them, you could have gone with any cheap-o kind of wood. Let them age on their own.
Jeannie Arnold maybe a coat of tung oil and let it age on its own after that.
natural aging...
Name arch for the pasture: Since you have New Yolk City, "Central Park" continues the theme.
I like this idea!
Instead of âCentral Parkâ maybe âCentral Porkâđ
What about Central Pasture
Does the Kabota fit thru that gate and will it fit under an Arch?
Central Bark!
Keep your wood natural for better lighting.
Jimmy Davis - That's exactly what I thought, since there are no windows in there.
Totally agree!
I would just clear coat all of it no iron stained.
I like the colour that it is. Canât you just clear coat it itâs a beautiful natural look . đ. Love the apple picker lol
Beverley Benbow - I like it the way it is. But that's just my personal preference, don't care for really dark contrast against the light walls. Glad you kept them.
Hi Al,
Enjoy your videos.
The darker the color inside the barn, the less you can see, even with more lighting
I like the beams natural. No color needed.
Call the pasture CWC Field. Glad the barn is warmer. A putty knife will clean things right up. I've done it and makes things faster and easier that way
Love this
CWC Field... I like that!
name the field "Lumnah Field of Dreams" (L F D), you guys always say its been a dream of yours to have an open field for the animals ....or "Free Range Field "
Field of Dreams is an excellent suggestion.... I came up with Meadow-Larky.. but "Field of Dreams" is a much better idea!! Kudos
Jim baker yes, I like L F D Lumnah field of dreams also! Good call!đ
I like that, Field of Dreams! đ
@@rachelm7525 - I like it too, but his channel name and other stuff are labeled Lumnah Acres.
@@rachelm7525 I like Lumnah Acres Field of Dreams. LAFD
CWC Field would be a nice name for the chicken pasture.
I love it too!
I prefer the natural wood without any colouring.
Maybe the arch could have just the letters L A , styled like a branding iron. Stands for Lumnah Acres but kinda keeps your theme of New Yolk City.
Like others said: keep the color of walls of the workshop as light as possible so lighting doesn't become an issue.
Nice apple picker !! the best chores are the ones that don't feel like chores..... 5 mins before school and it will be done easily, Gina missed out ... to bad so sad ...lol Bossy little olivia having all the fun
I think a clear coat on the natural wood is the best way to go.
"CWC FIELD" for the archway over the rock wall gate.
I like the color of the posts and beams as they are.
yea, the iron stained wood looks dead
*Yes I couldn't agree moreâŒïž*
I agree. I love it the way it is.
âLouieâs Pastureâ
Agreed
If it were me, I'd let the wood age naturally and change color on its own.
Thank you once again for a light positive start to my day. I would call your beautiful new pasture âCWC Fieldâ in memory of a very special and adventurous feathered friend. Personally I would consider using linseed oil on your beams. Thanks again đ
I love that...'CWC Field'.
You are the real deal. I have watched off and on probably for a year. I see a world of evolution in your channel content, and mostly your lives. You teach so much in every video, that's a class on life! My best.
I agree with the other poster Al you should name the pasture the "Crazy White Chicken" field !!
Dark flat colored walls will eat up any reflective light that would normally bounce of lighters colored walls
A light clear coated pine would really brighten (reflective light) the barn
I think you should leave the beams natural without all of the extra work. After all it is a barn.
Mineral oil, danish oil, or linseed oil will sort of do the same and somewhat preserve the wood. It may be a cheaper route.
I vote natural wood, and your sign should just say Lumnah Acres cause thatâs what itâs all about. đ
Gloria Leach I thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about? đđđ€Ł
I like the natural color of the wood, and let it age over time! ...Love y'all!
I'd leave them the way they are. maybe a little darker but I prefer the lighter color. It will bounce the light better.
Al, you have an artist's eye and a craftsman's skill. I'm so glad you chose to cover the posts and beams.
~ Also, I keep forgetting to tell you how much I like your video format, with starting the day, daily chores, the egg count, project work and progress, then wrapping up with family dinner. It's perfect. I like it.
"CWC Memorial Field" on the arch over the field entrance, so much respect and love for that lovely bird, đâ€đšđŠ
Tom Sawyer and Jim whitewashing the fence came to mind when I saw Gina and Olivia wanting to use the apple picker upper! Pure genius! Hats off the the inventer, and to the kind subscriber who sent it to you. đđđâ€ïžïž Recommendations for colors in the workshop: since there are no windows and the door will be closed during the cold months, I'd pick light colors.....my choice would be white for the insulated part and a clear varnish/polyurethane for the posts/beams. LOVE the look of natural wood. đđ
I like the amount of contrast there is now. I think that board you stained is too dark. Thatâs just my opinion. If you donât want Gina in the workshop, then I guess youâll have to build her a she shed. LOL. Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas đšđ±đșđžđ
Yes, she-shed! Gina would really like that.
Olivia is a happy child, I love to hear children humming. Letâs me know all is week with their little hearts! Wish all children felt safe and happy at home!
That ball collected is a genius idea! I really enjoyed today's video. Hope on the rocks...all of it.
The Garden Weasel gathers apples and nuts. That was nice of a subscriber to send that. Like the natural color of the wood. Much less work and it will weather on its own. Bless you all.
Unwrapping your barn looked oddly therapeutic. Once you have the panels in and power. The ultimate man cave. A friggin barn. Al you have to put a dodgy couch in the loft and do a weekly or monthly "on the couch with Al" live stream. A homesteading show.
I love your idea of the two tone with darker beams will really dress up the barn. Will be a great background for all kinds of things. It will also highlight all your hard work. Olivia was so funny with the new toy! Thanks , James for sending it!đ
Lumnah's Acre for the goat pasture. I love the giggles with the apple picker-upper. I love contrasting colors...but I agree with some of the others. The darker the color in the workshop, the harder it's going to be to see in there.
I like the wood the natural color. With that light pine it will look good just the way it is. The shed is looking super.
I love the natural color best but do clear coat it.
Lumnah Family is fantastic. So many big projects checked off of your to do list, for this year. As my Mother always said " You've got to have a dream, if you want a dream to come true". Keep doing and dreaming.
Yep we are having 84 today and it gets a little warmer all next week and we're loving it, so many fun things to still do. I like all your goats but Hope to me is special. She had to survive all the head buts and bulling from the other goats when she first arrived and she's very independent. Wow who ever sent the ball collector did you a big favor it will certainly save your back. Dinner looked delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Al, It's your barn. Go on and make a feature of the beams. It will look a bit sudden to start off with, but as time goes by it will mellow into a good look. Regards Stephen.
If Gina likes the color, thatâs all that really matters.Youâre building a super workshop. Not auditioning for Better Homes and Gardens. Keep her happy at no negative impact to you. đđđ
suggestion for pasture gate clasp. Can you take the gate back off and then screw in the gate holding pins a couple of revolutions to add the needed space for the gate clasp on the other side ?
That will make the gp on that side too big, Al already said he didn't want to change the spacing there.
Another beautiful day at Lumnah Acres. Greeting the day with a smile as usual! Freeing and feeding the chickens. Feeding the pigs. Saying hello to the bucks. Milking an especially generous Willow. Loving on the goats and letting them out. Opening the gift of clean beams! Finding a good color for them. Gina derusting a cabinet from her old stove. Olivia feeds the pigs this time and gets18 eggs from some generous chickens! And a generous viewer sends a gift that Olivia won't share!!! Dinner looks good. But, of course, Gina cooked it! Good night Lumnahs. đđđđđ
The two tone color looks great on the walls. That apple picker upper is great. Goats look great in the pasture. Great video. đ·đđđșđ
Anything darker shows more dust and dirt and makes it darker inside. I would just clear caot it. But it looks good.
We enjoy watching your videos. You work hard and do a terrific job. Your positive attitude and the love and care all you all show to each other is inspiring. What a great idea for an apple collector! Looks like Olivia has a job. When I watch your videos I have the extra bonus of listening to my husband yell at you when you use the impact drill as a hammer. He often has advice, but I find most of the time that others have commented already. Today his biggest concern is sealing the workshop floor to help keep down the dust and make it easier to clean. Covering the insulation foam on the ceiling is important, too. It will be cleaner because dust and cobwebs will cling to the foam and it will be difficult to brush off the foam without damaging it. Of course, you have to consider the cost of everything you do. Itâs easy for us to sit back and comment.
I think the darker and lighter combination looks gorgeous. Gives the barn a decorative feel while still looking natural. Now you need to get the milking station finished, don't know if it is toxic to the goats and even if a lttle could be unhealthy. Everything is looking good, "I like it"đ
i enjoy how relaxed and supportive your family is of each other and the praying at dinner time
I give a thumbs up to a natural look, with clear coating.
The iron stain seems to be a bit dark.
It's all a matter of personal taste.
The barn and wood shed look great!
Hope's fur is lighter because she is expecting a sweat shirt again this winter. LOL
Al and Family, great idea. I now wish I had a farm, but alas being older we can't. I do do gardening all year round, at least starting this year. God, has blessed me with y'all in my life. Thank you for allowing us to come and see all the wonderful stuff you do. I love the ideas in the barn. lol I knew she was going to try munching on the foam. lol it was funny. Blessings to all of you out there. The man upstairs brought us all here.
The barn wood is beautiful natural and I believe it will be lighter in the barn with the natural wood. Don't make extra work for yourselves. Love the apple basket and it appears so does Olivia. Can't wait to see the end result of Gina's project. Have a great weekend!!
interesting choice on the beams. as for a work shop I have found after using numerous sheds and garages as workshops the lighter I keep the walls the better for lighting and less shadows. just my opinion
Noooo. Donât stain the beams dark. It reminds me of the 1970s. I had to have my house repainted recently because it was just too dark. Even a slight amount of dark can suck all the light out of a space.
Did you know that light bulbs do not really emit light? They are actually Dark Suckers, sucking in all the dark and leaving only the light behind. (It sounds funnier if you read the entire page long description of it, sigh....)
I like the contrasting colors of the wood, and I love the apple picker-upper! Would love some 39 degree weather here in Louisiana, itâs still hot and humid!
The contrast in wood color for the barn is going to look very attractive. Lol!!! Loved watching Olivia play with her new toyâŁïž Sheâs not sharing Mom!!! LOL!!!!
Why would a goat eat insulation? Same reason a child will stick objects up their nose - because itâs there & because they can, simple as that!!!LOL!!!!!!!
God bless you Lumnah familyâŁïžâŁïžâŁïž
LOL! I so saw that coming with your goats and the foam! So funny!
I would think the foam has a chemical smell. Won't little rodents get in there and build nests and tunnels?
Wanted: Fugitive Carrot. Last seen @28:35...
Was wondering if anyone else noticed that as well. lol
You'd never find that wayward carrot in my house because my 110 pound rabbit (dog) would snatch it up in a heart beat. I think he was a rabbit in another life ~8^)
I said "oops" aloud" n thought to myself I'll get it later..lol
I personally like the natural color of the beams. Also it was so beautiful when I heard Olivia singing after you collected the chicken eggs! Loving the apple picker upper! Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day Lumnah family! đŒ
When youâre getting a lot of windfall apples - peg a tarpaulin out under the tree. Then just gather up the tarp with all the apples in it and tip into a bucket.
Iâm pretty sure it was Hope that got her foot stuck on the teeter tater when she was really little and had to be saved
Yep it was hope.
Yeppers
I agree with IAN...lighter the better...but beams being darker would look great and not to dark to hurt anything...good choice...my two cents worth...lol
Hey Al. We, in South Louisiana, are still suffering from heat and humidity and afternoon rain showers. TS Imelda just poured torrential rains to the West of us. We won't see 39deg for another 2-3 months. Football and hunting seasons are holding our attention right now.We love the new pasture and the barn. Keep up the good work and progress.
I love the 2 tone in the barns. âHopeâs Wayâ for the gate into the pasture. Glad to hear the boys will get a pasture. Love the apple harvesting tool, you will have to looking into making apple cider next year. I bet the waste from that will be good for the animals as well as the garden. I am hoping with Gina home next spring we will see more flowers planted, wildflower along the stone wall would be so beautiful.
Don't forget more gravel in the boys goat barn like last year
Climbing over that icy rock wall every day was a accident waiting to happen specially as you got older. Thats why i mentioned it
Oh I like your little picture. For several years now I've had that word "reset" pop up in my head.
The apple gadget is very cool! Thank You to the fellow viewer that sent it!!!
I love the contrast in the colors.
Glad to hear you say that you will be readying the boys for winter. Please put some thought into the spring thaw and ways to avoid a river running through their pen.
(Maybe a berm, outside their pen to divert the flow coming down the hill?) Last spring I thought the girls were going to be shipwrecked!!! Lol
One last thought. The more tools Gina learns to use (with confidence) the more you will be able to buy...đ
Awesome reuse of the Cook stove parts Gina. đŠđâź
@Deanna Marie ,
That tool was originally made for picking up tennis balls. Works well for apples also.
I laughed so hard a Willow thinking she found the best new foam treat. I love the darker post concept. I totally need to know the name of the ball gatherer. Save me a ton of work on our tree too. Great video. I can't imagine a more fitting sign for your gate than Lumnah Acres, exactly what you have worked so hard to achieve all these years.
Use some turtle wax on the dry erase board. It'll work like new!
I think you should clear coat seal the floors in the goat Barn
Edward Foster - They have rubber mats in there.
@@annwithaplan9766 I still think a sealant on the concrete and then the mats is a long term solution. That uric acid will eat into the concrete pretty fast
@@g.cosper8306 - I agree.
Your daughter humming after the egg gathering was So, so sweet.
That tennis ball collector was a BRILLIANT idea for picking up apples! I like the color contrast between the posts and the walls, NICE! Can't wait to see Gina's finished "whiteboard/shelf"! 49 degrees here at 7am in SE Massachusetts.
I bet you are glad you never stapled all of the paper, like as you started to.
Well done. Looking good. :)
Can you put a link to the apple, nut, ball picker upper thingy??? That is cool. We have black walnut trees and it would work wonders for us!!! Thanks!đ
Sonya Gregory ~ I found one on Amazon, but the link was four lines long on here! Just search for rolling nut harvester and it should come up.
I like the door in the door for the male goats. Moose is tight beaked today! LOL That ball collector works great for picking up those apples. She is having a lot of fun playing right now. When she is tired of it she will give you a try Mom. LOL
Al I personally believe that Gina has become a true helpmate. I love that she is more comfortable in front of the camera. Gina you are a rare woman. It is tough to enter the man's world but you have not only entered but excelled. When I heard Olivia's giggle it almost melted my old heart. Gina, Olivia is having so much fun with the new apple picker upper and you may have to wait a while for your turn. Lol
Lumnah field of Dreams â is a great name for pasture
Do the milk room with your two tone idea and see what it look like and how long it takes and go from there
That is a good idea.
I like the iron coated wood.
Olivia I love your tool for the apples and you have a a fantastic laugh one of those that have everyone laughing with you.
The goats sure love thier new space, willow and the wall shes so funny, her and Hope are my faves.
Lucky y'all it was 79 this morning and supposed to be 105 today,we wish we were there. Lo e the channel,looking forward to more.hope everyone has a wonderful day
I think Linseed oil would be much better.
Add an apple press to your list of projects
I believe they have one. They've made cider in the past.
@Deb long Do the apples taste good? Apple butter, apple pie, apple sauce, apple cider, apple cider vinnegar (if that's made with apples, sorry I really don't know), apple pie filling...
Enjoyed the video Al. Nice pasture. The extra tall post will make great places for Bluebird houses. Good winter project to do with scraps from the barn. If Olivia is interested in building that would be a great teaching project for Dad & Daughter.
You can use rigid foam board insulation for your garage door. It's an easy project. Just don't use thicker foam than your brackets on the door. The shop is turning out nice. I really like the beams exposed. The pine on the walls will look great. Great idea on the wood stove warming cabinet and back splash. Glad you saved it. Y'all take care and God bless.
73* in NW Arkansas at 8am. So glad everything is coming together for y'all; you've worked so hard and you really deserve it.
Hi Al....Not a fan of the two-tone look. I would keep it is simple as possible. Also gives more of an authentic historic appearance in my opinion. We have post and beam here in Colonial Jamestown and their interior exposed wood and trim are of one shade. Of course the walls are natural daub. Just my vote but I am a historic authenticity advocate..
@C. Ruf ,
Historic authenticity for a brand new barn ?
@@donaldmiller8629 Post and beam is a very old construction method going back to 17th century Jamestown, Plymouth colony, and even earlier Tudor and Shakesperean England among others. I am merely saying if you wish to capture the uniqueness of that style, it would be neat to replicate it in the way the originals were done. That is why many people elect to build reproduction homes and other structures. Seems to me that if Al and Gina were not interested in having something with a little charm, they would have just built one of those "modern" metal barns without all the expense and time it took to build a classic.
Build the goats a Teeter-Totter like the one at the farm in Arizona where Hope was born.
He did say he was going to put things there for the goats.
GO GINA GO!!!!
No, we're headed into the 70's in the evenings next week, and I. CAN'T. WAIT!!!
Way to go, Gina!
I had to laugh, my husband considers the garage his territory.
Love the way y'all care for the animals, letting Pluto and Tanner get the run of the pasture for themselves, then teaching them to not harass the goats.
Figaro owns everything, as cats do. Cats just allow us to share their lives and territory with them. Cats also are supervisors to everything we humans do, and let us know what does not please them.
Love your vlogs, they bring pleasure and enjoyment to your followers.
Al: goats will eat or try to eat anything, sheetrock, foil faced insulation, or just about anything else you can think of!!
Our one goat used to eat bed sheets off the clothesline. Mom would have to pull them back out of his stomach. He would eat about one third within 60 seconds. đ Trying to get it down before she could take it away from him.
@@kimberlyWestfall1 I'm picturing this wrestling match in my head.
Willow be like "đČ but I like foam" as she eats at worped speed to eat more insulation before you can move her
Goats like âtastingâ stuff. It just kind of slips down the gullet.
Foam insulation is quite possibly made from soybean derivative. That would attract goats to snack on it.
Natural wood smoothed and clear coated. Useful and thoughtful gift from James.
I like the natural hemlock and natural pine as it is with the clear coat, it is 2 toned as it is. Beautiful!
The iron stain is interesting. I've had good luck staining with iron acetate, made from soaking steel wool in white vinegar. The iron acetate solution reacts with the tannin in the wood to give it a weathered appearance.
But of stinks badly.
It
apple butter ???
Really the natural weathering of the boards is the way to go. There is enough contrast between the two types of lumber .
Love Olivia's humming in the goat pasture, ya growing up young lady, now that you can vacuum up the apples, you are now qualified to help mom vacuum the house, đâ€đšđŠ
I'd guess the foam is still giving off a little reaction heat..
Does the new insulation have any smell?? I don't know.
Leave the natural wood just clear coat it !!!!!
If you are looking for the gray/weathered look you can use steel wool in plain old vinegar. Paint the mixture on and give it about three days. This is a "trick" the movie set people use to create "old" buildings.
Love the ball collector. Congrats on the viewer that came up with such a good idea to collect apples. Awesome.
