Team work. Makes the Dreamers work.
Serenity is getting taller!! I noticed this about a week ago but really noticed it today on the video!! I bet the boys are growing by leaps and bounds? Sometimes you notice it when their feet start growing!! Sending blessings!! ❤ Mamma Carolyn
I bet talon will be almost as tall as Mike
Good morning Mike and Lyssa Mike there is a tool called a T post puller at Tractor Supply. I know about pricey stuff, but sometimes a tool is necessary for a easier life. Love you guys, your doing an awesome job.
Cool, thanks
Hello 🤗 Hope the electric wire does the trick 🤞 Glad you're pacing yourself Mike & letting your body heal 🙏 lyssay& Serenity were a big help today 😉 take care 🙏🇺🇲💖
Mike I would put the shale around the pen area!! Thats a great idea!! And I would enforce it with some big stones where they seem to dig!! ❤ Sending blessings!! Mamma Carolyn
💜💜
Hey good morning Mike how you guys doing today hope you guys are enjoying your day and it's hot out here today but to make sure you're doing a good job out there with all the chickens it's warm out there and God bless both of you
Use one of your E bike to pull the gorilla cart
Great idea....
Could you dig a little trench where the door opens for the wire so you don't have to stop it? Thanks for sharing!! ❤ Mamma Carolyn
That's a pretty good idea
Wanted to mention I saw this on another you tube channel South Texas Roots where this man put down dry concrete on his driveway then boxed bladed it yo smooth it and added water to it.. He says he's trying to build a firm foundation before putting more gravel on his driveway ...I thought would this work for your driveway? Wanted to run this past you maybe David also.
Interesting idea
Yes look up dry pouring concrete. Looks pretty tough and solid once it's done. Easiest way to do it, unless your made of $$ and just write a check.
You need to put a note book on your phone and write down what you buy and when. For fun the price
Hi Mike & Lyssa & Serenity u can use some pvc pipe to run the extension cord from the control box to the hot wire
Yes!
I like the electric wire for the fence. I think I'm going to look into that. I put welded wire on the ground all the way around the fence and tacked it down the stakes. Kept my dog from digging out but then she decided to chew through the welded wire that is up on the fence. I went out and bought 12 horse panels and put that over the welded wirde but would have been a lot easier if I would have gone with the electric.
It has worked like a champ!
Animals are expensive, glad you are keeping them safe,
You might want to pour cement around the outer side of the fence.
Get a high-lift jack you can pull T post and use it for a winch has all kinds of purposes some people call it a farm jack you can find one at any hardware store Walmart anywhere you won’t regret it and they’re pretty cheap
Great job all three have worked hard.
Thanks ☺️
Mike what did you do this time I've missed a few video's get well soon & don't over do it
Almost broke my collar bone and some ribs.. Ebike accident
Hi Mike and Lyssa, everything is very expensive. Love the intro. Looks like fun at the lake . Hope the electric fence will keep your furbabies in and safe. Wednesday loves the water. You look so pretty Lyssa. Serenity is so pretty and sweet little girl. That's a lot of Shale. Shes a great helper . Glad your doing better Mike. I know that hurts to hit your thumb. Y'all take such good care of your animals. 👍 Enjoy your videos and the music. Thats a huge spider. Yikes. Bless her heart Wednesday found it. Take it easy Mike and dont over do it. And continue to get well. Have a great weekend and God Bless DD5 ❤
Shale did a great job! So did the ladies!
We had two huskies and they dug under the fence and climbed or jumped the fence. We connected chicken wire to bottom of fence and went down 2 feet and when they started jumping the fence had to put them on a chain inside the pen.The electric wire didn't phase them. We hated to put them on chains but had no choice we were aware of. Good luck!
G’day Mike. Just a tip to assist you. The Electric fence cable connectors you were knocking into the posts. Get a drill bit half the size of the nail and do a pre drill to make knocking in easier. Second tip use a pin or a half inch bolt to knock the nail in. Gives you an easier target and less likely to knock your fingers off. Cheers mate. Ken Australia 🇦🇺
Mike and Lyssa, great job today with the fence and Lyssa you go, girl 👊 show the boys how it's done ❤️🇨🇦
💜💚
Good work 😊
Good morning 😊❤. Hopefully that will keep the dogs 🐕 in there .
Well done Mike and Lyssa! Let's hope for the best with the dogs not being such escape artists from the doggy pen! Sure hope you rest your chest Mike!
T post driver works on ground rods and wetting the ground helps.
lets hope it works
I know that's right ✅️ 💯
Hi guys 😊
Awesome video 👍❤️
I wouldn't touch it either, I would probably end on the ground making more poop to pick up!! Lol!! ❌️🚫⛓️🛑⚡️☠️💥
I felt bad seeing you in pain. I hope this doesn't set you back too much. Take care.
Wow Mike, that was a lot of work, especially when you are hurt 🤕... Great job 👍❤️❤️❤️
Yes it was!
💜💜💜
Good job today Mike. Good luck with the fence 🤞. Thank you for sharing✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One on the insidetoward the top and one to the bottom a couple inches away from the fence. 5 in will work. Don't know if you've done an electric fence before.
Poor Wednesday 😢 She'll know not to touch it now.
I know it made me sad hearing her cry out like that. Poor Wednesday 😢
Wednesdays like hold my beer I’ll test it😂
Lmao 🤣
Good morning yall. I would of bought every bird they had. Ur wayyyy better then me 😂 hope the hotline works for ya
💜💜💜
P. S. The next time you need to pound a Ground Rod in the ground, trickle some water down the hole to soften up the soil and you don't have to pound so much. Let the water do the work for you!
Up to y’all but as I was watching when Mike was stripping out that extension cord that it looked pretty sunny over at the chicken coop. Could you hang it up towards the top to where it faces the sun. I don’t think any of the chickens will be going up there and that way you don’t have to risk constantly running it over risking damaging it or getting it to where it doesn’t work possibly. Just a thought. Unless it just happened to look sunny over there and it isn’t sunny enough. Just a thought guy’s.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The dog cannot dig out with wire facing flat down but I understand the electrical wire if they are digging out all the way around
maybe shale or carpet under the pool would help keep water cleaner longer? Just a suggestion. You guys take such good care of your animals. exciting to see your going to have chickens for fresh eggs too.
Maybe. Good questions
I think that should work fine Dreamers the older dogs are respectful of it and Wednesday will soon learn lol. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
Yes!
Hey both of all
weed eat under the hot wire, if it touches weeds or sticks it will ground out
PRAYERS still going your way
Awesome job you guys. That was a huge accomplishment. ❤❤
Shovel the top off first
I use PVC pipe over my horse gates
Another Great video ❤❤ xx
Glad you enjoyed it
Yup! That's where you blew up your meter! The output to the wires is HIGH VOLTAGE!!! Hopefully, it has an internal fuse.
I'm pretty sure you are correct 🤔 and no fuse to be found. 😬
Hello DD5
Unfortunately some people are born Crepe Hangers. Let me tell you what they are.
In Italian villages when a death occured in the house, a black crepe wreath was hung on the front door to signify the death and everyone acted accordingly.
So by extension, some people are born natural Bearer's Of Bad Tidings.
Thought I would share with you my parent's favorite phrase.
Good job guys
Next time, Mike, pre-drill the holes for those nails slightly smaller than the nail. It'll make your thumbs feel better.
Thanks for the tip!
Ladies of the landing..Rocked it...❤..Mike I do appreciate the way you explain things..I've learned a lot of different things.from your how too's...Thanks buddy..So glad your doing better..The wire's a great idea..Keeps doggys in And Preditor's out...Take Care Sweet Dreamers 💜
Love you, Beachy
@@driftingdreamers5 oh sweet Dreamers I love you too..💚💜❤️
I see poke salad growing in the rocks!
There is sooo much here!
Looks good guys dog . fence. U knock it out of the park and the sheel too wire up all of it take rest. Louisville KY monique poole

Use a t post driver to drive that grounding rod in. It’s so much easer until the rod is too low to use the driver. I would run hot wire around the top too, to keep any jumpers in. Y’all are doing an awesome job on your land. Mike, I don’t think you know how to take it easy. ❤❤❤❤
Ty so much 💓 💗
Hi Mike lyssa an serenity 👋
THIS IS LIKE WATCHING A FUNNY VIDEO TODAY MUSIC WAS FUNNY ALSO. GREAT SHOW.
HAVE LYSSA TOUCH THE WIRE LOL NOT.FUNNY.
Thanks ☺️
Dumb question but why didn't you screw them to the post
What's that?
All that hammering on the ground rod probably didn't do your chest any favors Mike! LOL
It really didn't! 😬😳
good job. i just wanted to tell yall since you guys are doing rain water catchment system im watching another off grid channel and they got huge tanks that maybe you guys can get for yours there channel is. life uncontained just scroll down in there vidoes until you see the big black tanks. im not sure if you can get them where you are at but maybe you can order them for yall and it will last for a while they did 3 of them. and they show you how they hooked it up to the gutter and all to make it go to the tanks and to the house.
Yes! Those tanks are amazing.
They are also like $1,500 a piece
@@driftingdreamers5 wow didnt know that. that sux well maybe one day you can hopefully. but keep up the great work. 😁
Touch it mike
Mike hope your thumb is feeling better. I hate hitting my thumb with hammer.
HATE IT!!!
17:22 halo has some beautiful eyes
Yes he does! 💚💜
Mike great video, except when you kept smacking your hand, that made me hurt. Hope you will be ok. I tried weed eating it is just to hot, an i have had open heart surgery my own self. I love working in the yard, mowing and all that. But yeah, just to hot. Take care and i will catch you both on the next one. ❤😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
It was terrible, 😆
Take it easy out there!
You have a poisonous vine on that tree. The one where you put the solar.
Well dang. Thanks
@@driftingdreamers5 look for dried vines with legs or tines.. I forget the true name of them.
Good job guys!! Awesome fencing.
Question…..will the hot wire keep working even if weeds, etc are touching it?
To a point, yes
Did you check the output of the controller was charging the battery? I may have missed that. I was wondering if the old battery just wasn't being charged. I don't recall you checking that on the last video.
Good question. I never checked it. However, it's still running.
@@driftingdreamers5 maybe put the old batter on a charger and see if it takes a charge. It’s hard to believe it went bad that quickly not being used.
I was hoping you would touch it to see how it feels lol.
Been there, done that.
Next time take a picture of before. Then you have something to reference back to
What's that?
Probably fried your meter. Not designed to test that
Agreed
It is illegal to use electric shock treatment on dogs here in Australia as it is cruel to the animals.
No way
Late again lol
Drifter thumb down 😱 I think Lyssa should replace all sharp blades with those plastic preschool paper scissors, or there might not be any Drifter thumbs left to hammer 😬 I don't have any helpful suggestions on Mike and electricity though as America needs air conditioning 😃 Maybe wrap Mike in insulating electrical tape 🤔🤭 Awesome video as always. That looked liked a lot of hard work 💕

It's only sunny there for a few hrs
