    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 😃

    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 )

    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.

    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💜

    • @HiddenSpringFarm
      @HiddenSpringFarm  Před 11 měsíci

      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.

  • @albrightfs

    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..

    • @HiddenSpringFarm
      @HiddenSpringFarm  Před 11 měsíci +1

      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.

    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?

    • @kstrongtree22
      @kstrongtree22 Před 11 měsíci

      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.

    • @RJH_LIL
      @RJH_LIL Před 11 měsíci

      ​@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?

    • @yeagerxp
      @yeagerxp Před 11 měsíci

      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.😂

    • @RJH_LIL
      @RJH_LIL Před 11 měsíci

      ​@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.

    • @HiddenSpringFarm
      @HiddenSpringFarm  Před 11 měsíci

      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.

      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.

    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!!!😮
