      I hope he is able to find his way back into his outside area by himself and sooner or later will be unable to get out. Peaceful, easy solution!

    have you given thought to creating a water tower with a float switch inside. once its full you get great pressure and pump wont have to kick on so often

  • @EvLuvsMinPins
    @EvLuvsMinPins Před 6 dny +6

    make a moveable wall the same dimension as the permanent wall and keep it along the back until you want to catch them and then just move the wall forward until they are within reach. really simple but effective way to reduce their space so you can grab them. should be easy to make for your low tractor.

    Hello guys. Add 2 small wheels to this sliding chicken house at the back of the house on the sides and it will be easier to move. The axles for them can be long nails.

    When we sold our place in the country, more than one prospective buyer ran away when the realtor explained “You understand that in buying this property you own your water supply and sewage treatment plant, and are responsible for their repair and maintenance.”

  • @PapaMo55
    @PapaMo55 Před 6 dny +3

    Myself an others I am sure feel Stephen was named after us… However what’s most important is he was born into a truly loving family… Really enjoy watching your story unfold….

    You should build a shed over the mall where you cut the wood so if it rains you can get out of the weather and keep yourself warm and dry

    Katie, your intro to this video is very good especially with the baby Evan walking through the fence and moving on the boards. Your music selection is fine and your narration is fun to listen to as you paint your 'word pictures'. The under sink RO filter is a great addition to your house.

    I'm the guy who's given good advice on axe swinging techniques in the past. I'm on my 30 acre homestead, and finally finished clearing my workshop site area, and just by hand made my first 8x8 cement platform (No trucks, just by hand in a wheel barrow) to put my saw mill on. I'll soon be making wood. I can't wait. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Living in west central Wisconsin i can appreciate your efforts for water. While Wisoconsin is blessed with high quantities of fresh water, huge factory dairy farms milking thousands of dairy cows around the clock it's a battle to monitor and make sure our groundwater is not being polluted by cow manure and high concentrations of nitrates in the groundwater. More people should understand the value of clean groundwater and the struggles across this globe to access clean groundwater.

    Shorten the pull rope slightly. That will allow a more up angle to lessen the friction possibly.

    Hi Katie and Greg. In the opening shots, I absolutely loved it when you caught Aspen greeting and saying hi to Steven through the fence. Steven is so cute and lively, he's scooting around now and so fun to watch. That white tipped tail really helps follow his level of excitement by seeing how quickly it moves 😉 That new pump seems to be doing the trick and I think the switch is a great idea Greg. It should extend the longevity of the pump and keep it going strong longer. Have a great week and I'll see you on the next one. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

    Hello 😊the chicken shed is nice my grandmother had her husband build her coups solid and in place . She had them tall so you could walk in she had perches and the individual boxes with hay. When she cleaned she would do a few at a time. She was very clean and the birds hated her cleaning. She spent a lot of time petting them. She had a herding dog that protected the chickens and her. You goat ,Steven, is growing fast. Enjoy the video's

    Hey Greg. Sure you know this but I’ll say it anyway. You need a larger diameter water line from the pump to the house. Even though the one you have can handle the flow rate you want. it takes more pressure to push it through a small diameter line. Best wishes to you guys from Vermont !
