ABOUT US:
We moved from the city to the country 2 years ago, right before the Covid lockdown. So much has happened in that time. We now have 6 horses (including a newborn foal and Johnny, AKA Duke, from Day by Day Vlogs), chickens, baby chicks, guinea fowl, handsome roosters, adorable bunnies, hilarious goats, a livestock guardian puppy and 2 house dogs that are adjusting to country living (one more successfully than the other). We have undertaken many renovations (both inside and outside), love sharing tips/ tricks/ hacks, trying to repurpose items or do things on a budget, and are always looking for the next DIY project. We started taking videos for family and friends to keep them updated on our journey as we navigate trading in city life for life on the farm... and decided others may be interested as well. So here we are on CZcams, and learning the in's and out's slowly but surely.
We hope to produce video content that is entertaining (who doesn't love seeing horses and cute animals), allows you to follow our horse journey and life on the farm, provides you with some inspiration and ideas of things you can try in your own life, and hopefully gives you some helpful information.

Love it. If you paint the jump and to have the colour to stay for a very long time and not peel. Here is what we did. And they are 40 years old. A little faded.
Your first step
Take your paint and thin so it will soak into your wood. Use the paint thinner recommended for the paint you are using.
Second step
Paint the would with the thin paint. Let it in.
Third step
Let it dry completely.
Fourth step
Paint over with the regular paint. Do not thin.
Let it dry.
But if your first thin paint job is not completely painted. Then repaint.
Also this preserves the wood as well. .
Hint before winter storage. Wash your jumps and let it totally dry. Then do a paint touch up if needed.
Great video. And great job. Love the way you do the recycling. I wish others would do that as well.
I hope all is well and God Bless you and your family.
Thanks. Yes, I am definitely going to paint them so they last a long time and look nice. I have other jumps to make and then I will paint them all at the same time. There are places that have paint drop offs for people who have little bits of paint left over from projects. I am going to see if there are any leftovers of exterior paint that would look good for jumps!
@@BarnBootsandCountryRoots be honest we used interior paint because that is all we had. But you have to remember that it was an oil base paint back then. Can't wait to see what they are going to look like. God Bless
Hey guys. Great video. It’s so cool how you can make them with suck a little budget. They will probably be a lot easier for Julia to put up when Kate hits them 🤣🤣🤣. Can’t wait to see the girls jump them. Keep up the hard work.
Thanks. I am the master of doing things on a budget and repurposing things! 🤣 I have some videos coming up of them jumping.
Great job! If the supports end up being unstable you can "sister" the 2 x 4's with longer 2 x 4's.
You’re absolutely right. And so far, they have worked out perfect. We haven’t had any issues with them falling over, so I think they will be ok.
Wow they look really good. Will be trying to create my own now even tho I’m not that good at building things 😂
They are so easy! I have faith in you! The best part about building things, is each time you learn from your mistakes and make improvements for the next time. You also gain a little more confidence in your abilities and what you are willing to try as your next project… and before you know it, you are a serial DIY’er! Let me know how they turn out once you make them!
Awesome tutorial and a great way to reuse material!
Thanks. You should see my latest haul of free stuff! Scott was laughing at me when he saw how excited I was at the stuff we picked up. So much free scraps of wood and stuff to make a veggie stand, goat playground and horse jumps with. I can’t wait to get started on my next project. I was going to start yesterday, but we got too distracted at going to the plant sales and then gardening. I love repurposing stuff!
I love this. Great job!
Thanks 😊
Those are fantastic! You're so talented.
Thanks 😊. I am definitely not a professional… I’m just a DIY’er that likes to figure out ways to build things myself to save money (plus, I like the challenge to see what I can reuse/ repurpose, or build myself to keep on a budget). I am always looking at things and trying to figure out what I can make with it or how I can build something I see in a store or magazine for less 🤣. I credit my grandparents with my resourcefulness because they all grew up in extreme poverty (on both sides) and had to make use of what they could to survive and then raise a family. Their hard work ethic and sheer determination were so inspiring. Both my parents were the first generation to have the opportunity to attend and graduate elementary school, let alone high school or college, so they passed on so many important lessons about hard work, saving money, budgeting, and building things/ repurposing items where we can. I’m very lucky I had such amazing and inspiring people in my life is all, and now I hope to pass on that inspiration to others.
Nice ideas, except for having long loose screws anywhere near the horses. Instead, I would use a blunt pin (or bolt) to secure the jump cups. Screws can easily get lost in the arena, and then found as a puncture into a horse's foot.
Yes, we quickly ditched those and just bought second hand jump cups.
Jen stand and the poles look amazing , how long have worked on wood? Building skill is great.
Thanks. I am by no means a professional… I am crafty really. I have always loved drawing, painting, and creating things since I was a little kid. When I was about 14 years old, my family and I had contractors build our house (they did the framing, plumbing and electrical), but we finished all the inside stuff ourselves. It was the best experience because it was something we did as a family and some of my favourite childhood memories were from that time. I learned a lot (insulating, drywalling, mudding and taping, tiling, installing wood floors, installing kitchen cabinets/ counters/ backsplash, installing toilets/ showers/ tubs/ vanities, painting, wallpapering, refinishing wood, building furniture, reupholstering furniture, patio stones, decks, etc). It didn’t all necessarily turn out great, because we were learning as we went, but with every mistake, we learned what to do differently the next time. It is why I am so handy now. Over the years, we have renovated many places and now are pretty proficient at most DIY tasks. I don’t mess with things that require trades (electrical, plumbing, etc)… I call in the professionals then, but other than that, I like to do it myself if I can. My favourite stores are Home Depot and Lowe’s 🤣. I love the sense of accomplishment of being able to say “I did that!” I want my girls to grow up knowing they can do anything they put their minds to, and just because we are women doesn’t mean we can’t be handy or build things.
