Harbor Freight has excellent magnetic rollers to pickup stray nails and metal from your pastures. I use them all the time on gardening projects.
This is my first year homesteading/farming and I think my list of failed projects is bigger then my accomplished projects LOL. We lost our entire garden to frost but homesteading/farming is all about learning and self teaching there is no course that can teach you how to homestead/farm LOL. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
I love how you dont edit out the mistake you make that when you make them. You are cursing in your head and we are laughing.
I love this channel.
I may have cursed a bit in my head, lol
you shouldn't take the videos down. Just change the title to warn people not to build it this way. That way they also get to see what NOT to do when building a rabbit house. Then put a link to this video showing what the ending for the the rabbit house was.
I’m thankful you have the courage to show ....things that didn’t work so well as well as the more fruitful projects. I dont think many would have done that.
Glad to see y’all back
This is one of the reasons I watch this channel, your not perfect and not everything you do is perfect. SSL Dad your rock!😎
I am so far from perfect, lol
That fence looked like a chore.
It takes a brave man to admit failure. By sharing this you will help others not to make the same mistakes. Well done.
Nice job!!! Great day of work!
Just did a huge clean up on my homestead today. The weather was perfect for being outside all day. Extremely cloudy and not so hot. I got a lot done ( for a 51 year old woman lol ). Our pasture looked a lot like yours :) I made a lot of trips to our dumpster. I wish hubby would pick up after himself when he gets done tinkering on the farm equipment, it wouldnt have taken me all day to clean up and straighten up the barn.
Lol, I'll bet the SSL family mom says the same thing
Next time when pulling chain link, find the end and pull it that way as oppesed to scooping it. Drive backwards over top the fence while hooked to it. It will be easier. Also put fence or couple cattle panels around burn pile and use it occasionally. Friend from Northern Indiana.....
Rubik's cube is the name of that game you mentioned. Hope all goes well taking those pigs in, praying 🙏 the method works. Don't you have more pigs coming of age in the next year? Nice clean up though. Hope you'll get one of those magnet rod/rakes to make sure you get all the metal out of the horse pasture. The girls may like helping with that!
There is just something about watching fire, here one minute gone the next.. Peace, God Bless...
It's better than TV.
a set of pallet forks would be handy lifting stuff up with, it would have been nice if you could have saved all that woven wire a nice long strech . we are still too wet to get into our alfalfa field maybe next week!!
I can't believe you didn't save all of those hinges. Lol
Love what y'all do and your videos are great. Please don't burn shingles. God bless
when my dad had lots of hogs we built a crate to fit on the 3pnt of the tractor hold 4 fat pigs or a couple of sows , we could back right up to the door of any of the hog houses or pens and then take them to the trailer ,didnt have to worry about backing a trailer into tight places ..
Love to see things burn. Glad that the girls were involved with helping.
Yep. Good to admit your shortcomings Dad. Stay humble, God bless..
Thank goodness you have the tractor.
I might have removed the hardware to reuse. Oh well, I like to say that every project teaches you how to do it the next time. Sometimes you would do it the same, sometimes not!
@gavin grady - about a dozen good hinges there!
gavin grady Hinges.
one thing I would like to point out that mite help you on the older tractors if one wheel starts to spin and the other not push in the brake a little on the one that's spinning it will make the other wheel that's not turning will engage so both will move at the same time or just put your tiller on the back so when your using the loader it will help keep the back end from getting light. The brake trick will take you a few try's to get use to
Great info, works every time, thanks
Just wanted to say your mower skills are really looking good no stands in the corner turns. looks great.
I am getting the hang of that dang sickle bar!
great display sir!
Too bad the rabbit hotel didn't work out. I am surprised you didn't salvage the hinges off of it first though.
Me too I am to cheap to burn them, couple of minutes to remove them.
Think the Game that you were thinking about is Called SUDOKU... Will you Rake the land where the burn pile is before putting the horses in that Pasture?? And i thank you Sir for your videos everyday !!
I love your farm and how you are growing it!
You should definitely look into processing your own meat. It’s a game changer for eliminating another middle man and saving yourself money, and of course being more self sustaining. I don’t have a setup to raise chickens for meat but I buy a case of 20 defeathered chickens for very cheap and break(butcher) them down to each part of meat and vacuum seal them for meals. It’s a great money saver and you can save even more not having to buy them like me. Pigs are also pretty easy with some teaching to butcher. Once you learn you could make great butchering how to videos that would be a good addition to your channel. Keep up the good videos! Always look forward to them
I hope pigs are easy. Will have a 400lb gilt in november to do. no processors here
There’s a lot of videos online , but having someone show you in person also helps for your first time.
I like your videos. Here we do a lot like you do, repurpose all the time. Not to criticize or anything, but apparently that's the reason why commercial ones are all steel.
Exactly. I wanted to stay away from all wire because everyone talked about them needing to get off the wire so they don't hurt their feet. I shouldn't have listened:)
Leave the bunny hotel on, it's a learning experience that people can learn from. I always enjoy your videos till next time God bless
I know it's not what your channel is about, but I do enjoy watching stuff burn. Probably spent too much time in Detroit. You appear healthy after the boar attack.
I'll be doing the same to one of my rabbit hutches. It was an idea that was an epic failure. It happens.
Anyone else notice the act of vengeance towards the end? Oh, those 3? Those are George's sons. They're getting processed, turning em into bacon. No reason at all for that. That made me chuckle.
I agree hay field does have good smell
Fun to watch
The trailer should be backed up right to the gate and filled with goodies. If they have to travel at all into a strange area, they may not take the risk of going there.
Hook that trailer up to your truck or tractor to secure it from lifting when the pigs walk up the gate. It will scare them and they might not like that to well
I would have at least salvaged the hinges. Is there any way you can fence that burn area to keep the horses off it? A nail in a hoof and can be a deadly thing. And if it's not deadly, it's a lot of work. Ask me how I know. 😕
I guess I can dig through the ashes and find them:)
@@SSLFamilyDad Or use a big magnet.
Don't you love previous owners junk? Where I live every year still finding relics in the garden!
farm clean up is always fun
Nicely done thanks for sharing
One day you'll be buying hinges for a new project as well as an entire roll of hardware cloth because you need a small piece.
You should have saved the hinges. Thy are expensive.
Yeah that bothered me too. I would hope they don't practice such wasteful tendencies often. I'm guessing this was a bit more ceremonial burning of a failed project.
It was definitely ceremonial;) the entire thing was made from scraps and pallets that had been repurposed several times, in fact it used to be part of a chicken coop
Do male pigs get along? Wondering how the transport will go if they are territorial as other males.
They get along if they have been raised together as these have been
How did the smell of the burning shingles smell? I would of stripped them and disposed of the accordingly and no way burned them. Just like treated wood being burned, way to much toxin being omitted.
Not sure, I'll have to ask someone in the ozone to tell me
@@SSLFamilyDad what kind of response is this from the sustainable suburban living dad?
I'm surprised they burned at all would have thought that they were treated with something to prevent them from burning.
Robert Veronda tar burns Robert
@@barnieb1961 didn’t know it was a tar based product, thought it was a fiberglass type product. Unlike you I don't know everything, that's why I made my comment.
Leave the bunny hotel videos on and put this clip as the last video in the playlist... Just a thought... :)
I would have removed all those hinges off of the bunny hotel before burning it. One can always use hinges on other projects...
Man, I know I thought about that but was so busy I just didnt want to deal with it. Wasteful:(
The only people who don’t make mistakes are the ones who never do anything or try anything new.
The game you refered to might be Dominoes (not sure on spelling)
Don't think of the bunny hotel as a disaster. It was a learning experience and hopefully now you'd do it differently. We all have things that don't go as planned but if we learned something, all was not a waste!
If there's anything funny to glean from this, it's her holding the lighter while shaking her head and speaking at 8:15. She coulda said, "I'm ready Deddy," and it wouldn'ta been any funnier.
Burn bunny burn!...great job.
Something cleansing about fire.
More hay videos !!
That's one way to get rid of the grass😕
Thats all folks
What doesn't kill them will just make them stronger (snort) just kidding
That’s all folks
Nnnoooooooo, what happened to the bunnies?
Trial by fire eh
We all have (in my case multiple) fails. Seemed like a good idea at the time, right (standing and often revisited joke)?! Love the process, though. Learning all the time. My jersey cow, who acted more like a neighborhood cat (no fence would hold her!)....fail. Rehomed...Donkey to keep my one horse company....fail. Rehomed. I could go on, but you follow I'm sure. The point is, all were rehomed and now in perfect situations. Next stop.....goats!!
Horses get caught up on almost anything, don't know why just saying. Remember to have fun just saying.
My life @ 3:18.
Lol, yeah that sucked
Goats and horses get along.
Take George too! He’s a killer!
It's against the law where I live to burn shingles.
There sure are a lot of Snowflakes posting on here whining about burning shingles.
Lol
bacon.....good.
Burn hotel, burn!
As much as I would like to have rabbits as a plausible food, felt and manure source for my small one acre place, there is a LAW in Queensland Australia stating that I would be fined some $64k for every rabbit I keep as farm animal. It is illegal to have rabbits in Queensland - a law enacted at a time when Australia was suffering under a massive overpopulation of rabbits in a country where they are NOT native and have no natural predators... Rather than make an industry out of it the government here decided it was ow entirely illegal to have them. Also, the calicivirus (a biological weapon -The infectious agent responsible for the disease is rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), or rabbit calicivirus (RCV), genus Lagovirus of the family Caliciviridae. The virus infects only rabbits, and has been used in some countries to control rabbit populations.) has made hunting rabbits worthless as they cannot even be used for pet food now. Fun fact - those rabbits remaining have developed an immunity to the virus and are fast breeding up again... Bit sad about the rabbit hotel...looked pretty good but you mentioned from the very start about several of the (what became) failings and potential problems as you were building it.
Blessings from Australia

Oh wow, I had heard about all that but didnt know there was a law. Well, you don't have to worry about failed rabbit cages at least!
Bugs Bunny
You sure goofed someone's day outside by burning shingles, they stink!!!! As someone that has a breathing problem you goofed. Surprised you did this!
I am pretty sure no one lives close enough to have smelled that or even been able to see it
