Y'all come up with some of the cleverest ideas, I swear.
LOl i love that. "Now that we have our safety gear and our flip flops" lol haha. Thats was good.
Hahaha I just HAD to point it out😂
In case you need to know for future reference, running the hole saw in reverse can help with jerking and cleaner holes in the plastic.
Good tip! Thanks!
This was great the tree is down and all is well!
Stressful day! But it all worked out!
So glad it went well!!! you two are Hardworking Young Kiddos for sure...Great Job
Thank you so much!😊
Glad no one was hurt in the storm.
Us too. We were laughing in those clips but it really was quite scary!
The five ducks made it to big-duck world! Hurray!
Wow that was intense, hahaha. I am glad it came down safely. Great video
Haha even editing this video after the fact had my heart racing😂 Thanks so much!
Your a good storyteller. Enjoy your vids.
Thank you so much! This is so nice☺️
Love the idea you had for the chicken a duck coops! And on a positive note about the tree, you have firewood for next year and lots of mulch! 😊
Thank you! And yepp you're so right - we always need more mulch! We're taking the branches & making mulch, sawing up the wood for fall campfires in the garden (it's too hot to have fires here most of the summer so im excited for fall fires!), and all the rotten wood will be turned into future hugelkultur beds ☺
That storm was WILD. It hit us hard too and we lost a big ol' branch. It's so much work taking care of downed trees! Lots of woodchips for the garden though? Long term compost? Finding the silver lining here, ha! Great Idea with the IBC totes! Very cool!
Yall are just a productive hard workers.
Productive hard working bees!
Working towards our dreams is very fulfilling 😌
Job well done and learning so much , keep on improving the property
Thank you so much!!😊
I really enjoyed this! I've never seen anyone do that with potatoes! I thought why is she putting an egg in those potatoes? Also, really entertaining watching the tree come down! You guys are doing great, loved the chicken Coop too!
The first time I made gnocchi, I was also very confused😂 it’s a great way to use up potatoes & extra eggs & I feel like it stretches the ingredients so well. When our girls start laying, I plan to make a bunch of pastas! Thank you so much for such a nice comment & for watching. We’re happy to have you here ❤️
That was cool… look to me like an upside down torso with some very long legs 😂😂😂😂 and then …no legs. 😂
Haha I'm not going to lie I was thinking the same thing the whole time! It reminded me of Gru from the Despicable Me movie😂
If you feel your coops need more shade, shade cloth works great.
My heart was in my mouth when you were taking that tree down.
Mine too🤣😂 probably one of the most anxious moments I’ve ever experienced
I love to watch your channel I feel the effort that you put in these videos.
It’s a matter of time and you’ll hit the first 100K subs just be consistent and eventually it will happen.
Wish you the best, i’m a fan from the Middle East Kuwait .
Aww this is so sweet of you! We’re glad you enjoy our videos! 🥰 I can’t even fathom 100k but we’re getting close to 3k and so excited 🎉 thanks for watching😊
I giggled as he was backing up the trunk, it looked like you were just casually pulling it by the strap. 😆 Those IBC coops are a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing. ❤
hahaha I didnt notice that before but it does look that way😂 thanks for watching!
Great job guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻👍🏼😍😍😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! 😃
Loved the “Duck” for the duck door! God Bless ❤️🙏❤️ and stay safe ( watch those toes )
Haha allllll toes are accounted for!!!😂❤
My sister did this for her chickens, ducks and goose.
Neat! I’ve never seen someone else do it! But it’s been working so well for us.
That Quacker Condo is a brilliant idea. Great job on getting that gnarley rotten tree cut down. 👍👍
Thanks so much! I'm cracking up at Quacker Condo😂 I usually refer to them as the Duck Hut & the McNugget Box and the big coop is the ChickMansion or Fort Chimken lol. We're weird if you haven't noticed😆
You guys did great! Well done.
Commenting to increase ur stats or whatever. Started when u guys were switching houses & now u got chickens & ducks! Lovelots frm the Philipines
Thank you so much! So happy to have you here ❤️
Came over from the Hollers. Look forward to what you are doing.
Thank you for coming over to our channel!☺️
Great job guys!
Thank you!
What a cool idea!
Thanks!🥰
Good job U 2!
Thanks so much!😄
New subscriber from Arkansas. That's a good idea for those IBC totes. Good job on that tree.
Happy to have you here! Thank you! 🥰
Tarp on the new coop to keep chickens dry
It has a cap on top & they do stay dry in there🙂 they were wet because they were free ranging in the garden when it started downpouring & for some reason they decided to stay out instead of going in their shelter haha
More detail on the coop door would have been great!😅
New sub! Pretty cool channel! Love what you both are doing.
We're so happy to have you here, thanks for subscribing! :)
check on using a heat pump. that is what they use in nc. geothermal is very costly. just a suggestion. love what you are doing.
we'll be doing a geothermal heat pump system. Thanks!
Comment for engagement
Thank you🥹❤️
Hi from the UK. Can i ask how many hens you keep in the IBC Coop? Good luck with you homestead regards Mark
love the show, wow, you were very careful with that tree, SCARY! well done!
glad the storm didn't do too much damage
Mickayla do you knit or crochet, sew? these are all good for anxiety & stress, not to mention you get to make cool garments & accessories for everyone & keep warm :))
thanx for sharing
Taylor is the kind of guy who watches youtube videos on tree-felling techniques and things like that - he loves it, so this was fun for him to put his skills to the test! It was still quite scary though! I have the materials to do all of the 3 hobbies you mentioned, and I'm very much a novice at all of them, but I'm hoping come fall/winter I can make more time to practice. I also have a whittling set I need to test out! We don't have much downtime (youtube is the only hobby I can make time for currently), but I loveee the idea of relaxing & still being able to do something with my hands.😌
I'm so hopeful there will be a season in the future where I can reduce the hours I have to work my day job & can focus more on things like sewing/crochet/etc
start off small, like crochet or knit dish cloths, there are so many CZcams tutorials for these & most take only a small amount of time, good for learning new stitches too
Great work. God Bless!
Thank you!
AWESOME job
Thank you!😊
