I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

Tow Hook Hitch we got for the MULE amzn.to/2SLTNZR (*affiliate link)
Your counter has character now. Like a Prussian Duke with a dueling scar on his face. Good job.
Close is still missing.

I am so sorry for the chicken
I love how spunky hope gets kicking up her heels, leaping happily. Look forward to seeing more chickens & piggies. I wanted to join Gina on that wine, you were making me nervous too! The move went rather smoothly dispute the slick spot you spun a little in. Beautiful coupe.
At least Gina didnt' need to get behind the Coop and push. I was thinking it might go that way for a moment
Find a tow strap and use the elasticity to your advantage. They will start stuck/ dead loads with less damage on both ends.
I'd love to see some Polish chickens running around the homestead. Andy always made me chuckle 💗
Your barn gave birth to a baby barn! O.o Another inch and it'd need a C-Section!
Or maybe a "Saws-all- section"
I thought it looked like those Russian wooden dolls that fit inside of each other
Too funny!
Lol! Thats a good’un!
😂
🤣
Do yourself a Favour: put the Roll Bar Up.
I almost lost an Uncle in a Tractor Rollover and his Tractor did not have a Roll Bar Fitted.
Always Think SAFETY First.
You are correct in saying that.
DANGER NEVER SLEEPS!!
Good advice about putting the Roll Bar Up. Question should a person also have a seat belt also on? Just wondering
@OpenRangeCountryBoy, YES, you should wear it all the time. You can get thrown sideways and come off the seat. Its designed to stop the tractor if that happens,but you should still be attached to the tractor, especially when mowing uneven ground.
Yes the belt will keep you in and also protect you from the "flyswatter" effect if it does start to roll. Trying to jump clear as it rolls is the most dangerous time.
Remember also that people are killed & seriously injured by a tractor that flips over backward. Another reason to wear that belt. The combination of big rear tires, low gearing, and a hill in front sets up the "perfect storm" for this misadventure to occur.
“No more of this stuff, Mr.!,” she said. Al chuckles. Classic.
It's like the barn had a baby!
HITCH HOOK: a couple of minutes with the shop welder shop drill press, and scrap pile....and you have a receiver plug in hook....or what ever you need to make.
Good Job. The Mule pulls very well. I was surprised you did not have more trouble. Keep these videos coming. We enjoy each one of them.
I started the same way Al, Always wanted the pretty "Easter" eggs.I can't remember "All" the Breeds I tried to work with, Haha.!! I finally ended up with the best chickens EVER, Dual purpose.. Very reliable Buff Orpington.. I had eggs year round. and when I hatched eggs, I was so surprised at how well the excess roosters worked for meals! Very tender. My second set I found was the New Hampshire Reds (No, Not Rhode Island) Great egg layers.. The NH Red Rooster was very protective though, But I had those two sets, a lot of eggs and very good meat! The roosters did their job well and I was very happy with incubation results for new chicks. The Third set I had was the white Cornish (Seasonal) to stuff the freezer. I wish I would have started that way, I could have saved a lot of money and heart ache.We have All four seasons here in Arkansas..The Orps and the Reds were the most durable, Easy to be around Great tasting eggs and meat..I'll never have any other.
Real shame the Olive Egg Layer didn't make it. Like you said, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to these things happening.
My first thought was wondering if she was egg bound.
Hope the rest of Rusty's gang stay healthy.
FWIW: You really should use eyebolts with big washers on both sides on those skids for pulling, the ones you are using will just pull out as the wood ages. Also, it is nice to have the skids extend out in front of the structure a foot or more so you can use the three point hitch to lift up, if needed, to free the structure from mud/etc. Anyway, I enjoy your farm.
I could totally see the incline coming out of the shop lol great job Al.
Gooood Mornin'
Al, Just a thought, and you may have already. with the new coop out in the snow, you might want to place it up on some blocks so the runners dont freeze down like the new goat feeder and shelter did. Coop looks great, y'all are doing a great job.
The new chicken house coming out of the barn Looked like a cork popping out of a bottle - great job Al. God bless you and your family. 🇬🇧
I was saying “just floor it Al! “I was laughing when you did. This is how we do things too. RIP lil chicken.
Great job on the new coop. If it ever warms up and stops raining, I may get to start us either a new coop or a boat shed.
That’s was a cog hill farm dance moment!!!! WOW
You can also use vinegar to sour your milk too (incase you don’t have lemon juice). I always used that in my mother’s banana bread recipe to bring out the banana flavor.❤️👍
All challenges (including the inclement weather) were met, and you both mastered them. Well done! Congrats.
So sorry your little olive egg layer passed away. May be you can pick up another one when you buy some more chickens. So glad you were able to get the coop out of the garage. When the tires were spinning I was afraid you would be stuck in the door way til the melt. Bless Gina's heart, she was so nervous. Breakfast for dinner looked great Gina...but your meals always do. Y'all have a Blessed day. And Al, the purchase of those bugs sure seemed to increase your egg production. Good thinking there.
Doors and nesting boxes build the nesters in side this time to keep them warmer in the winter
Didn't think that coop was going to move that easy. Good job!
You could get the Araucana chickens. They lay different colored eggs. We got one that was crossed with a brown leg horn. She had light green eggs. She was a great mother too.
Al, Last August I bought 4 Barnfelder Pullets and now the biggest one is giving me 4 eggs out of 7 days and the second one is just laying about 3 weeks and she is giving me 3 this week The third began laying this week and the youngest is singing all day. They are sweet tempered and allow the old Bantams to boss them. Even the Bantams are starting to lay again. Oh and the eggs are differing shades of chocolate and so yummy.
Looks like the grubs are doing the trick in getting the egg production. Big chicken coop too. I hope you and your family have a great day.
I was so happy you got the coop out with out any problems, I'm so sad you lost a chicken, but your right it happens, and your right I love the color of the eggs, can't wait till they start to give you full basket again. till next time love ya all.
Love it when a plan comes together!!!!
To bad about the chicken...
Thank you for sharing your journey and God bless you.
epoxy a wood strip under the end of counter give more support to top
I was glad to see some drone footage of you plowing snow. The coop looks GREAT.
I like that in special you wife helped you good bless the family,
Love the snow...great moving job!
It worked! Well done! Harbor Freight has 10" wheels with tires that should work they are made as replacements for 2 and 4 wheeled carts and come in solid or pneumatic, tubed and tubeless. With different types of wheels.
I got a couple of those H.F. tires for my cart and the first time I used the cart with 50 lbs in it, the wheels fell apart. The center of the rim part stayed in place, but the outer part of the rim where the tire is just fell apart and the tires fell off the cart. They rims are made with a real thin cheap metal and are only tack welded together. I tried using a flux core wire welder to put them back together, but with how thin and cheap the metal is, it just kept blowing holes through where I was welding.
just so you know this, wood ashes sprinkled in front of spinning tires will give you incredible traction on icy surfaces, nothing better.
Today’s Lumnah LOL was when I realized how much Gina and my wife have in common. They both seem to think that if this doesn’t work, the apocalypse will somehow be triggered. They see less than 2” clearance. Guys think that mule has 150 hp and she WILL come out if there! But it’s all good, it would be a boring world if we were all the same. 😎👍👏
Glad to watch your fix for the countertop.
Have you considered composting bins? You could build them with 4 bays, start by filling the first bay then when it gets full, use the Kubota to shift it to the second bay which stirs the compost around, giving the microbes and worms a chance to digest what has not been digested. By doing it like that and keeping it covered, by the time you get to the 4th bay your compost should be nice and dark and rich.
Congratulations on getting the chicken coop out. Had me worried for a little bit but you did it. Now to put it where it’s going to live.
Another great show, thanks.
That hook hitch is better than just the ball but the right way and safe way is to but a hitch without a ball, just the hole then buy a shackle to fit it. You then wrap the chain thru the shackle.
I bought my tractor hitched at Harbor Freight on sale dirt cheap.
Never doubted your measuring skills lol, glad it all worked out.
If you use some wet/dry sand paper on a sanding block (maybe 220 grit) on that table top repair, you will degloss the epoxy and make it blend even better with the concrete top. Use some water while you sand.
You sure had Gina worried about that chicken coop. It looks really good outdoors like that. Thanks for sharing.
What, no gravy with those biscuits?!?!?
Thank you for your wonderful videos.
I may be wrong but isn’t that a roll bar on the kubota? Why is it swung back instead of being upright to protect you???
Nobody ever does!
I have seen many people do that with their roll bar because they got tired of hitting their head on it every time they got on or off the tractor. Many times, the roll bar is just too short (all depends on the height of the user). My parents have 2 of those Kubota tractors and my step father almost knocked himself out by hitting his head on that roll bar.
A tip for when you're making biscuits... freeze some butter then grate it into the flour with a cheese grater. Mix it through the dry flour before you add any of your wet ingredients. They'll come out flaky and buttery and delicious.
Gina, your biscuits looked good! We southerners make sure our biscuits touch one another to better ensure a good rise. Plus unbleached White Lily flour makes a really tender, fluffy biscuit. 😊
This channel has really grown on me over the months, it's one of a rare few that I genuinely look forward to seeing (I have never been so interested in goat fertilization)
Hi look online you can sometimes find a tent trailer or a popup camper they make nice light weight utility trailers or just cut the axle free from the frame to bolt to the 4x4 runners
Great watching you move snow viewed from above
Lol I never doubted your measurements Al 😁 great job
Good job guys! Missed the door as good as a mile!
No matter where in the house the two little ones I care for are (18 and 24 months)they come running every morning when they hear Al say his intro. They sit quite as church mice until the very end. When Gina makes dinner they say num num time. ✌
Do you know that you and one other blogger, sheepislyme, consider comments as a conversation not criticisms. You guys show how smart, kind, and brilliant you are. The best to me is your family and how everyone interacts. I experienced criticism just in the way instructions were given. Great example for others.
Lynda Perky I love watching sheepishlyme😁👍
Good job getting the 'hen house' out of the workshop. 👍
One thing though, I would replace those four eye screws with proper eye bolts bolted right through the runners with large washers on both sides.
I didn't doubt you not once on the coop 👍 may God bless you all year long
Man the shop looks so big now. Hope y'all get an early spring!
you can use white vinegar to curdle the milk too
I loved your choice of music you used when you prepped to get the new chicken house.
Gena's reaction was as good as it gets! Good driving Al!
Donald Hill - *Gina*
Al Two breeds of chickens to check out one is a winter laying type is a Chantecler it's a Heritage breed . The next is a American Bresse which again is a good type to have in your flock . Are you thinking of growing Turkeys this year
Good idea to use the Ball jar lid to cut the biscuits. You just push'em out.
That is a beautiful coup for Rusty's Crew, sorry about his loss, hopefully the hen's can build their flock. The counter is just like new, Al, good deal !
I would advise getting some leghorns there great layers nice white egg
Wow, you going to give Gina a heart attack. She was so worried about the top. Even though it was half out. That mule impressed me, i figured once it got to where it had to go uphill, it would start spinning the tires. But it did it easy. Great job.
As a stonemason, had this happen many times. Drilled bigger holes into both sides for stainless pins . Filled them and smeared edge with coloured epoxy, pushed pins in, aligned broken edges on supports. With masking tape along broken edges, let it harden a bit before removing most of the excess. After drying, use a vertical blade to SCRATCH away rest. Be gentle, it will be very hard to pick the repair if done right. This works, as experience proved.
LOL, loved watching you two debating whether the coop will fit through the barn door or not! It was like watching a cow birth a calf watching that coop pop out of the barn! My son & DIL were down for a visit and we had breakfast for dinner last night. I made eggs and biscuits & gravy. I'm sorry you lost a hen. She sure was a pretty one. I wonder if maybe she got egg bound (typed before I heard you say it!). Can't think of anything else unless she accidentally broke her neck or something. Blessings to all.
Rhode Island Reds always taste the best, remember to change feed slowly especially in winter.
I count the eggs with you. I practice my German & French.
Good for you Gary....however, I think time is better spent learning Arabic or Mandarin Chinese these days...since about 90% of German and French speak fluent English.
@@CRuf-qw4yv But Arabic & Mandarin Chinese no use when travelling in rural France or Germany!
@@CRuf-qw4yv There are lots of benefits to learning any of the Romance languages, including understanding where some of our words in English came from. But really, learning any second language is beneficial and an A+ in my book!
Great job on getting the coop out! Yummy food Gina!
RIp chicken! God blessy'all!
Howdie Al and Gina. The wife and i never miss a video. At the beginning of the winter Northern tool had a sale so I finally purchased the farm wagon you built. I was wondering if you greased all the fittings? I started and it seems they hold a ton of grease. Today I start the wood build. Back tracked through your history and watched video again to refresh my memory. Thank you for letting us see a glimpse of your life. I would bet that the rooster was mounting the chicken and gave it a peck in the back of the head. Not intentional homicide.
I used to have a neighbor come into my restaurant and get 4 five gallon buckets a week of coffee grounds as well as egg shells. Into his compost pile they went!
Gina, if you buy a short can of sliced ripe olives, and cut both ends out of the can...It makes the best biscuit cutter!
The Coop D’Ville. Love your new coop!
Utter Chaos Hobby Farm - There is a poll on their Community page with 5 names, use this link tto find ruclips.net/channel/UC_1nZUpPS6jFv5Pn3f85CaAcommunity
oh Al , on the eye bolts take an old pawn shop socket , cut a slot in it with your grinder , use a socket extension, to turn eye bolts with cordless drill .......
I was right there with you, Gina. 2 inches is too close for comfort! Congrats Al!
The lawn mower tire set up that way you could do either or you can bolt it up or you can slide it on cuz some of them have Bolt
Al I salute you! Great job.
Nice job y'all have done. Y'all have a Blessed day . God bless my friends stay warm.
great job, i look forward to your videos everyday
Gooooooood Evening Al , Gina & Olivia ,
Your new coop reminds me of the fella that built a beautiful sailboat in his basement. And then , could not get his sailboat out of his cellar ! lol
That was exciting. Gina doubts Al's carpenter skills? Not possible. I think she was poking fun. Nice cooking segment. I want some of those biscuits. Love taa,.
You dont need it now but a simple farm Clevis would have worked to hook up the chain. I guess you need to be an old farm boy to know what that is.🤠
Prefer clevises over hooks anytime.
I hope Pluto is doing okay. Sorry about the chicken passing. Great vlog, as usual.
I had Faith in your measuring skills,Great job
Breakfast for Dinner yummy.Blessing to your beautiful family.
Congratulations!! Very good job!
Use a leaf blower 2 clean out the shop its what we use start at the back of the shop work ur way 2 the front blowing everything out ur garage door all done
On your next project that has runners, make u hooks out of steel strapping to bolt to the front of the runners to hook to
Well done on that chicken coop Al! 😁👍
Nice job Al getting the coop out of the workshop. Just a thought about putting either chicken wire or filler boards between the rafter boards where they meet the top of the walls. Raccoons and opossums are strong and I have seen them push that plastic roof right out of the screws holding it down. My mom has a attic fan and they tore the plastic cover right off of it and were getting in the attic. Disappointing to see the chicken. You and Gina have a beautiful family.
My favorite, breakfast for dinner. It looked wonderful.
Sorry about your olive egger. You could get some Whiting true blues if you order from Murray McMurray. Then you’d have blue eggs this season and olive edgers next with Rusty’s help.
Try squaring up your dough, then cover 1/2 the dough with just a little melted butter or sesame oil for a different flavor. Then fold the buttered 1/2 over the other half and roll or pat out to your required thickness, and cut and bake. Recombine the dough left after the first cutting of biscuits by closing the holes by squeezing the dough back together and fold once and cut the rest of your biscuits. The scrapes after this cutting can be combined cut into small squares, baked and use for garnishing your stews or soups. When you cut the biscuits always cut as close as you can to the other cuttings so your dough is used up for the first cutting as much as possible. Here's the best non-traditional method, square your dough to a rectangle or square, then cut it in squares, make sure your dough will divide evenly into what ever size you want. 12 by 12 equals, 12-- 4 inch biscuits and so on depending on how thick you want your biscuits. No waste or recombining the left over dough, as there is none. The butter or oil in the middle? Means your biscuit will split evenly in the middle of the biscuit without using a knife to split them. Just give them a gentle hand twist. I have enjoyed watching your show and hope you will continue to post more episodes.
Good job getting the chicken coop out without incident! I always guess number of eggs every morning with you and Olivia! Love your NE accent. Reminds me of my Dad. He was from Westport Ma. Sorry you lost a chicken. I've had that happen to me, too. One day fine, next day passed away. It's frustrating not to know why. Thanks for another great video!
“I’m gonna be sick.”
Haha haha!
Not sure about the concern with a chain around the ball? Never had a problem as long as the ball is tight. Al you should consider drilling through holes on your runners and slipping a schedule 40 3/4 or 1" pipe through it to pull from. you could pull from a fabricated connection in the middle or run the pipe 4" past your runners and hook on that. Those eye bolts even if they hold for the initial move will not hold if you move it a year or two down the road and that would be a safety concern. Love your channel!!
You both are amazing. Getting the chicken cooper out was a nail biter. Thanks for the show.
Sorry about your chicken. :( Always sad when you lose an animal. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Last August I purchased 14 Blue Sapphire chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery... I highly recommend them. They start laying eggs sooner than most breeds and I'm getting a lot of eggs every day... They started laying eggs by 18-20 weeks old... they lay a medium dark eggs. They are suppose to lay 290+ eggs a year and they have such a sweet temperament also
