As a indoor piggie Mama, I appreciate how hard and diligent you worked for Mr. Bobby. Great work!!😊❤
Yeah it was a tough few days of labour but Bobby had been trapped inside for too long. If I had of known Billie was gonna have piglets sooner I would have had it done earlier but I’m still in learning mode. Bobby runs outside now when I open the door, it’s nice to see 😃
Thank you for putting that door in for Bobby. He be so much happier & healthier.
Yeah I know he is, he’s excited to see his family too.
Chad, who needs gym membership when you can just cut through 100 year old walls😅Great Video! Great job! So happy Bobby can now get fresh air❤The piggies are so much fun to watch.
Aww thanks, yeah Bobby’s a happy pig now
Wow! Real hard work! Enjoy watching these videos of building various structures at the farm
Thanks 👍
Extremely hard work to keep your animals healthy and happy. You're a good guy Chad! You really did an excellent job and not just anyone could have done that difficult job. Thanks for being a great animal Dad/keeper! You and your Darling are an inspiration.✨️😊
You’re always super kind, thanks 😊
As a city person this was super interesting! Fellow Canadian as well. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks. I’m born and raised in Toronto and only started this country living stuff three years ago. Lots of fun.
Mr piggy looks very happy .
Yeah he was so excited to get some fresh air
Oh my they are the cutest
🐷♥️
I must be honest with you your my guilty pleasure 🙏 and watching you break that big rock was so satisfying. To see you bring it down . Wow you work really hard I hope you get back massages you definitely deserve it luv watching all your adventures and those piglets omg I could just watch them for hours keep up the Great work . ❤❤❤❤😊
Haha that doorway hole took me 4 afternoons 😂 Sooo much harder than I expected. They really built em well 100 years ago eh. Thnx for the comment 😊
I like the hole driller, never seen one of those before
Your craftsman skills are excellent. The door way frogged into the wall is very well done. Great work sir.🎉🎉🎉
Appreciate the comment, thanks.
High top leather work boots for safety using that hole driller, just a thought. Could cut your whole calf off with a slight miss step....
I luv your videos. So glad I found your site
Aww thanks for joining us 😀
Great job 👍
Probably so happy to be outside for the first time ever in his life
What r u talking about? he’s only been shut in for a little over a month while Billie gave birth. Prior to that he had access to outside daily since I built the fence.
Every time I watch I seen him locked up in the barn @@HiddenSpringFarm
A really nicely done job in tough conditions there Sir👍 I bet you're glad that's done now. 😉 Be well.😉
Oh yeah, I still have some mortar work to do but the brunt of it is done. Glad that’s over.
Great job!
✌️
Hey y'all see Bobby's little tail not wagging and then when he hears you it fires up the helicopter spin!! How adorable 😂 13:59 🤗🤗🤗
Haha yeah he’s a good boy
Man I luvs them piglet zoomies 🤣🤣 They hear your voice and they take off🤣🤣. Good job Chad, it don't have to be pretty, after all it is a barn. 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
It’s so funny when they run too cause all I hear is oink oink oink timing perfectly with each stride 🐷
Awesome Chad. Do it in stages. Please take it easy. Take your time to do it. You are doing great. Lots of Love to you all. ❤❤❤❤ Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Yeah I gotta know my limits
Oh man! Are you ever going to feel the pain tomorrow. Get your darling to fix a nice hot bath with some soothing essential oils. By the great work. 💛 from 🇨🇦
Oh yeah I had sore forearms. I’m ok now though. Ready for the next project.
Great job Chad.
They will appreciate it
🤙
Great job on Bobby's grand door to the fabulous outdoors. He will be so happy with fresh dirt to turn over and fresh air. Brava, Chad!
Yeah he’s enjoyed it I can tell.
Easy peasy! 😅
Haha just like that’s it’s done 😂
Great work Chad.
🙏
Great work as always Chad
Thnx very much ✌️
That was a tough job
How thick that wall was
Always working so professionally making it look so good 😊 proud of your work.
It wore me out that’s for sure
Wow, great work! Chad, you're going to be aching tomorrow.
Haha oh yes, took a few days to recover 💪
Bobby is just calculating where to dig.
Oh yeah he’s already dug a big hole 😂
@@HiddenSpringFarm my dog digs up the yard and the only possible satisfaction is watching him step in his own dig
I agree with the mask suggestions, that being said, your days look a lot like mine, and i can never be bothered ; )
😷
What a job! Looks well done to boot!
💪😃
What a job! Lucky pig. This project brings to mind the channel raising voyagers where they are bringing a several hundred year old stone barn up to Italian code! If you ever wanna watch someone else work really hard😂 God bless you!
Not they would be a tough job eh.
This was really cool to watch, thank you for sharing! Stay hydrated 😁
Thank you! Will do!
A good idea for the door would be to put some of the smaller stones in between the cerement to keep the wall strong .
In the uk we use two parts cerement to one part builders sand ( fine sand )
You really are doing a lot in your day .
A good soak in the tub must help your aching muscles 💐💐💐
Yeah I can do that…make it like it was when it was built.
Great camera angles Chad while knocking the wall through. Congratulations on 100k subscribers too
Thank you so much 😀
Loved seeing your work. I got tired just watching you. LOL What a job. Well done! I am wishing I had that kind of a building right now for my ducks and chickens to protect them from this hurricane coming our way. I get so nervous for my animals. Last year I had my chickens in my dining room in huge Dog crates and that was a bit rough.... don't think I can do that again. Keep us in your prayers. Great job again on your Barn door and fencing. Love watching your channel! Was nice to have a little entertainment before preparing for this hurricane that is supposed to come our way.
Oh boy you gotta take care eh, batten down the hatches. Thanks so much for your kind words.
Spitzenmäßig Chad💪💪💪💪💪💪💪❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Meeeegaaaa ❤❤❤❤❤
😎✌️
I think your piglets were starting to be teenagers in this video, lol.
Maybe this is the one time you should have hired a crew to do the job.
I know, I was done for.
I reckon that anyone who works in an environment full of fine particles should wear a mask to protect their lungs. The wall work is one such occasion for you've got no idea the materials used and fine particles in the lungs can be dangerous. Just saying! D💜
Agreed I don’t even know the age of the barn, I did wear a respirator while cutting and stirring up the dust, then I stayed out for a while letting it clear. I wouldn’t want to do that kind of work for a living though.
wondering how long it takes Bobby to break under that fence ;) The intact boys are diligent in escaping! Coming from a Juliana owners experience.. Great job though as I just love how you care for your animals..
Oh boy I sure hope he can’t, I buried it a foot deep. He didn’t break the other pen but then again he wasn’t separated. I’ll keep an eye on it.
You are such a good custodian of your animals.
EDIT:
Do you work in the film industry? I think your videos are perfect!
Aww thanks man. Actually in the early 90’s I took a photography course but that’s about it. 😎
Morning Chad. Please take some time to rest when digging. We don't want you to pass out. The piglets will soon be the size of Billie before you know it. How long does it take for those type of pigs to reach maturity?
👋
I googled your question - according to google - about three years
Juliana or Teacup Pig Full Grown Size
@@yeagerxpThank you for checking. 👍🏼 😊
Another question i have is do you find it relaxing or therapeutic when constructing or puting stuff together and using your tools? We had men in the family with garages full of tools and we were NOT ALLOWED near the space. I know it was partially for safety reasons but you guys sure take pride in your tools. Anyone's thoughts?
There are plenty of women who work with tools 🙂 I follow a couple here on youtube and I've used some for a few projects. It's fun! Also it's rewarding, having a vision/idea and looking at your work after.
@kstrongtree22 oh yes of course. I have seen women who work with tools as well. And well at that. I myself like putting things together. Is it therapeutic for you to work with tools?
Regarding your question "do you find it relaxing or therapeutic when constructing" for Chad part of the job involving the opening of that hole in the wall, was neither relaxing or therapeutic 😱😱😭😭😭. PAINFUL. As for the other projects he has built he is walking tall. NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT considering Chad is an escapee from the concrete jungle.😂
@yeagerxp of course I was not taking about the wall project, but building the Goose caboose and the Chateau de Poulet for example. For some, I would think it's a sense of pride to have such accomplishments. Yes it is all hard work, I know that. Thank you for your comment.
I just really enjoy being outdoors. I enjoy challenges and projects. Relaxing is not quite the right word but pride is key. I feed off of the sense of accomplishment and when I get home I tell my Darlin all about my day.
Why separate the two adult pigs? Does the daddy normally hurt the piglets?
I don’t think he would but he would definitely mate with the female all the time and we’ll get more piglets.
Ma money don jiggle jigggle jiggle ee Fow a doe lete wiggle wige
You like tools, eh!
new to your video but why got nameless rabbit with pig not with other rabbits ?
It’s a long story but I can’t keep him with the does cause they’ll breed and I can’t keep him with our buck cause they fight. I’ve been trying to find him a good home but nobody seems to want bucks. He was actually in the stall first then Bobby the mini pig had to move cause Billie got pregnant. I’m working on a solution but they seem to get along ok apart from him getting so dirty.
I don't like watching the pigs either. I just skip over those parts.
Just because I don't like watching, more of the viewers do.
Dude, I enjoy your videos. However, you may find it cute watching your pig eat or the pigetts nurse from their mother. Please don't show those things it's respectfully disgusting and revolting. Please ... Regarding all the hard physical work putting up the fencing and cutting in an access way for the pig to go in and out of, I'd love to come help you with all the hard physical work. I'm a network engineer. The hardest work I do is maybe replacing a rack server or network switch. I enjoy your vids over all, please stop showing the pigs eating. it's NOT CUTE OR Entertaing. I just shut your vids down at those points. Gak!!!😮
I was schooled in computer programming but hated it so never worked in the field. I understand your feelings on the pig eating topic although I probably can’t please everyone…some people like watching it just as I find it fascinating for some reason. Cheers ✌️
