Spring Holler Farm
США
Добавлен 5 авг 2021
We bought the farm!
We here at Putnut's have moved to Arkansas in search of a home with some land to hopefully build a couple cabins on as well as raise some food, both fruits & vegetables as well as farm animals of sorts.
Keep checking back to see what we are up to and how things are going on our plot of land.

Finally Using The Woodland Mills Sawmill. A REAL Test With A BIG Log. How Much Lumber Did We Get?
We finally get the sawmill fired up and get to use it to make our own lumber for a couple projects around the farm. I begin by hauling a big log through the opening and path we cleared some trees for in our last video, then on to the sawmill. We cut a small practice log to begin with. Good thing we did because we noticed some settling had occurred over time, causing some discrepancies in the measurements of the final products. We then take lunch, make some minor readjustments, and off we go, milling a large log into 1x8 and 2x4 pieces and a few others.

About two months ago we bought electronet electric fencing to protect our chickens from predators like bobcats and coyotes. How well has it been working so far? Has a predator gotten through and if so, what am I gonna do about it? I got a trap last month and we will also see how I have set it. Did it work? Did we catch a predator? Got problems with predators? Check this out. amzn.to/3A05R34 #po...
Big Rain On Our Farm.
Просмотров 172 месяца назад
We got 6 inches from the remnants of Beryl and exactly a week later, for reasons unknown, we got a LOT more rain. Before Beryl, we were pretty dry around here, and it all soaked in, not even filling the pond or making the waterfall and creek run much at all... But another 9.5 inches in 12 hours a week later was a different story! Watch and see what happened here on the farm. Get ready for fall ...

Our Three Day Steel Siding Project That Took A Week And A Half

When I bought the metal siding and roof metal for the new addition, I also got enough to replace the vinyl siding on the "orange room". We have put this project off for months but wanted to get it done before it gets hot. Well, it was HOT for a couple days. (upper 90's) That is what procrastinating will do for you.

First Time Incubating Eggs & Getting Brand New Baby Chicks
Просмотров 233 месяца назад
My friend, Randy, got an incubator for us to mess around with and now we have hatched six baby chickens with it. This was my first time using an incubator and I was worried it would be pretty difficult but if a chicken can do it, so can I. It turns out, it was easy. We ended up with a total of six chicks, two whitish and four black. We are unsure of the parentage of all the eggs except the blue...
Rerun of the Baby Chickens Video (that got no exposure the first time.)
Просмотров 163 месяца назад
We had baby chickens AKA chicks a few weeks ago and made this video, and posted it, too. You likely did not know it, though since it has been a few weeks and the video still has not been offered to as many people as I have subscribers. So, since they decided to ignore it, I decided to rerun it. #babychicks #cuteanimals #farming #raisingchickens #babychickens #backyardchickens #homestead
i like burning smaller pieces
Get to the fuckin point...
Interesting video - thanks
Nice tarps. Are you making compost?
Tell Him to start looking for some wheel weights some nose weights and some chassis weights otherwise that little power King ain't got no weight in its ass
Yes, we discussed that. It has power but not enough ballast.
I need to do this in a couple of weeks‘n🖤🖤🖤 you’ll have a fur wit dem Coyotes!!
Get a couple hundred pounds on the front of the lil one one, it'll pull those logs, the gear reduction on those are insane
It's on the to do list. I found an old piece of rr track we plan to strap to it to help.
I'd be replacing the O-ring and wiper seals and packing for those hydraulic rams and cylinders to. Cause of it's leaking from busted.,or brittle.,or broken seals and nylon wiper ring seals are bad along with the packing.
It's either a connection in the main hose coming from the pump or a hole in the hose itself. Problem is, now the tractor is not running for some reason. Turns over fine, won't fire. It's always something with older equipment...
I just got my diy custom trailer built a couple weeks ago….now time to put my mill together and mounted on the trailer. It’s been in the crate in my shed for over a year!
We are finally filming today on the sawmill so keep an eye out for a video on it soon... Waited months to cool down and it's hot again anyway.
I trust this man.
Thank you!
I dont know why people stack wood outside where it can get rained on and wonder why it takes so long to dry firewood? Am I missing somethong here?
Several reasons 1) no space to stack under cover 2) wind exposure. This is my biggest reason. Wind dries wood more than anything 3) sun exposure to heat and dry wood
You answered the question nicely. I was also going to mention expense. Building a large enough place to store a year's wood is expensive. We are planning a woodshed that will maximize sun and wind exposure and protect it from the rain. I will likely still stack it outdoors for the first season, though. It mainly needs to be kept dry once it IS dry in the fall when rains come and the wood stays wet after the rain longer because it is cold.
@@springhollerfarm8668 .... I got a $2000 wood stove, $1000 worth of stove pipe A $700 chainsaw, a $200 chainsaw, $1000 splitter and a $1000 homebuilt wood shed, been heating with wood for 30 years, amd its the cheapest way to heat my house in the long run. O know its a big investment , i live in a vert humid area, and wood left outside has a short shelf life here.
I live in New England and I did a lot of experiments with drying firewood. I learned a lot and still have other experiments I'd like to run. Wood dries fast right at the start (the first 3 months). I also found that frequent rain will really retard drying and I now cover my wood with tar paper, right away. It dries almost as fast in the middle of the cold winter as it does in summer. It also dries about equally well when full piece or halved or quartered (you made me go look at my data and I found that, surprisingly). I did all my experiments by weight, incidentally. I put my data in a spreadsheet and graphed all my results. It was interesting to see. I still need to test things like double stack vs. single, sun vs. shade, and more. Let me give you an idea what the graph showed: in 3 months (summer) the wood lost about 27% in weight. In another year, it lost about another 5% so down 32% in weight. If it happens to rain on the wood every other day during the first 3 months, it won't loose anything (I'm extrapolating from 3 weeks where it rained like that and I loss 0% on fresh cut wood). You are right too that it will regain water once it is dried, if it gets rained on. All testing with red oak. Happy burning! 😉
Tar paper. good idea. I will have to try it. I do have some left.
Thank for the video. Advice, with social media, its hard to retain viewers in a faced paced video time.... get to it.
IK. In the hot summertime, I usually don't have a lot going on and if I do, the added time in the heat filming doesn't sound as appealing.
Just get a moisture meter people. It’s cheap and doesn’t give you false information. All these videos about drying firewood are totally obsolete.
Except this one, of course.
Really, all of them? Why don't you just get a position with the gov't and tell us that burning firewood is obsolete too.
Thank you
I agree I tell people there's firewood then there's firewood white oak, get a fire going out of that you got something
It is just as much work cutting poor firewood as it is cutting good firewood. Might as well cut good stuff if it is available.
You sir are right. I split all my wood small
My Mom got a dozen eggs once and all 12 were double yolk. She thought she won the lottery.
Double yolks are always fun :D Love that everyone agrees
Ouch
I bet she squawked loud on that one.
Use house wrap for a tarp, it lets the moisture out but keeps the rain from getting in.
Great idea. I do have some left, I will need to try it.
I've gotten 2 double yolkers this week from my girls! The one from today was HUGE! They got extra snack for their hard work😊
The chicken couldn't walk for a month after laying that egg
These are so fun. I keep getting one egg daily that is extremely long and tapered. Like 4”
I bet she must be limping 😮😂
Look after her. 🐔❤
We call it an ouch egg
Cool video man, God loves you ❤
That chicken was under pressure
My favorite food.
That used to be called a jumbo egg.
Poor chicken
Double yolks are awesome.
A chicken that identifies as an ostrich
That is why I specified it's a chicken egg in the title...
Yayy
That's quite a twist at the end
Oak rules in my area for fireplaces but I burn pecan in the fire pit and smoker. Pecan smells so good outside so I’ll just light a fire for the heck of it when working in the yard.
I don't think we have much pecan here but black walnut smells great, too.
Thanks for the great info. I live in the river valley West of Russellville. Its surprising how those dead trees will wick moisture out of the ground. I have cut some that's been dead for about a year and will be saturated all the way to the top. I know why you cut that Blackjack green. I have seen sparks when cutting dead fallen Blackjack. Tough on the chain.
I can't say I have cut it dead before. I know hedge (osage orange) is tough on a chain as well.
I can get maple to dry less than 20% in 3-4 months
Some woods dry faster but they are usually not as good of firewood.
That mill is WAY too low for me...but, it is your mill!
Once we get to cutting, we are going to use some of the cedar for rails to raise it up.
Yellow locust
Yes, that is also called black locust, the one with the bright yellow wood. LOVE that wood. Makes long lasting fence posts as well.
Probably jumped over it. Yes, why do they take the best and not the obnoxious roosters!!😂 sorry for your loss. Predators are so sneaky!!
My guess is that roosters are always on the lookout and see them coming sooner. They are supposed to warn the hens and defend them but maybe sometimes the hens don't listen or react too slowly. I have lost a few roosters over the last two years as well.
Trapping a bobcat to protect a few chicken is a bit of an overkill. Especially since it looks like you haven't tried more useful methods to protect your chicken? You have a nice open area with well a mown laws. If the bobcat doesn't get your chicken, a bird of prey will. Or another carnivore. I've seen chicken scoops that are basically a tunnel system of wires overgrown with vine, or tomato or other climbing plants. The chicken are quite save inside. You could also try an automated mobile chicken coop. Or maybe try cut down trees that aid with climbing? Have a livestock guardian dog? Leave unmowed stripes of tall grass as concealment for the chicken to hide in? Is your community not paying for loss of livestock to natural predators? Maybe you have done all that and it didn't work?
I am not sure where you are from or the level of experience you have with chickens and predators but they are in an electrified netting type fence and it still found a way to kill one of my chickens. The govt doesn't repay me for dead birds. we have plenty of predators around here. I eventually want the chickens to run free again.
@@springhollerfarm8668 my experience is limited. I'm just sad that a wild animal is chased down for doing what it's nature is. I hope you find a solution that is in harmony with life.
You should candle the eggs at about 8 days to check for growth. You'll see blood vessels forming. Get rid of any eggs that aren't growing since they go bad and can crack and spread bacteria on the nest.
Green text over green grass nice job
I wish they had some way to make it contrast to everything but for now it's gonna be hard to read somewhere on there.
That's a tiny baby!
IKR. So tiny.
I live in Texas. Average temp in my mid-east location during summer is about 95° + . We had a tornado come through in May this year, and i ended up adding the finest white and post oak,pecan, maple and hickory to my wood collection. It was like manna from heaven. Anyway, i figured the only way i have a chance at burning it in December is stacking only 13 inch long pieces 8 ft high, cover before even a hint of rain and hope for wind to augment the drying. It was all stacked by june 15th. 8 ft high and 16 ft long ×2. This vid was super helpful. I so appreciate how thorough you were! Now i realize i at least have a shot at burning this Holiday season.
You must be in east TX.
@stevenputney8790 it's actually Central, in Temple. Nice and hot.
Hill country, nice. My wife used to live in Burnet and work in Marble Falls.
Enjoy your videos I've seen so far. You are the only person I have ever heard say fresh split oak smells good though lol. I think it smells like baby spit up.
Thank you. That is true of some kinds of oak such as blackjack oak but white oak smalls good.
This has been the most information on drying wood I have seen,along with explaining size and cut. I Thank You.
No, I thank You.
You are correct, I split and store my wood in an open storage shed. It has no walls I used rebar netting as sides. I also stay about 10 inches from the roof to keep airflow going. Also keep a few inches between the rows to improve airflow. What depends as well is the area you live in. Where I live oak will take about 2-3 years to dry. Depending on the size of your chunks. Its quite a wet area. There are loads of myths around pine where I live. People seem to avoid it for the most part. Also saying you need to let it "rain out" for two years as logs before splitting and stacking it. But personally I don't believe that. Best is to get the moisture level down to less then 18/20% but 15 or lower is most desirable.
You are correct. Most of my oak cures down to 12-15% in a season but that is likely because I usually cut standing dead which has already dried from 40% to 25-30% before I cut it. Many people do not split wood small enough to dry below 15% in a year. I find it burns better and cleaner when it is below 15%. 20 is still too wet for a good clean burn.
