    Darling, you should stick a pole right near the culvert drain, so that when it's covered in snow or water, you'll know where to dig!!! Love your channel. You're an adorable, God loving, hard working family.

    Al and/or Gina, you should add a mid-shelf under your workbench and build storage totes to store tools/supplies that you don't use very often. Maybe even add a pegboard on the wall for screwdrivers, hammers, squares, and other various hand tools. Keep up the great work.

    The ducks might be drinking the dirty water so they can get sand in their gizzards to help break down their food for digestionalso . Any type of crushed seafood shell containg calcium is good for the birds . It helps them form stronger egg shells.

    Happy Belated Birthday from east of Atlanta, GA, Al!
    Your final comments hit home with me. On those days when I get down on myself for feeling like nothing has been done, I make a list of everything I've done that day and continue it for the next couple of days. Even the smallest things - like feeding myself and the dogs a couple of times a day - take time and are worthy of being recognized. Before you know it, I realize how much I actually HAVE accomplished and start to feel better about myself and inspired to get more done.
    Wall unit looks great! I like the idea another poster had of using French cleats instead of making it stationary. Trying to think of how to use it in my storage, lol.
    Hope you had a WONDERFUL birthday filled with lots of fun, love and happy surprises!

    Happy birthday Al, that was my uncles name too. He was an master cabinet maker. So for your birthday I’m going to give you a present he taught me years ago. The design and function of your pigeon hole cabinets are fantastic. If you check the right side of your Dewalt sliding compound mitre saw just below the blade you will find a small lever for setting the blades depth. Utilizing that adjustment you can set the blade so it can’t come all the way down to the table. For instance if you stop the blade 3/8” before it reaches the table you will be able to cut rabbets and dado cuts in the material you are using. When making pigeon hole cabinets just cut all the vertical supports with evenly space dados all the horizontals will slide into place locking the cabinet together and can actually be reset later for future needs. When making things like bench legs you won’t need to double up 2x4s to creat a dado and the joint will be stronger as well as saving 50% on material. There is nothing like a half lap joint to add strength to any project, and dados will help to force warped and twisted lumber back into a straight usable board.

    I don't know who had the most fun organizing, Gina or me. The UP has the same snow and ice mess you do. I shovel, then broom the area between the house and garage but normally get overwhelmed by Jan but this year my son has moved in and he has kept the area snow blowed so naturally I shoveled and broomed more so there is a rime of ice over all. We are expecting above freezing this week and the deer are exploiting the bare dead grass. Gave in and fed the wild turkeys dry cat food that cat rejected. Woodpeckers a pleasure to watch. Crows are lurking.

    Continuing my treck through old LA episodes, which began when Al and Gina made a reference to breaking their work top table whilst making sausages in October... so I went back to last year and have watched from the point where they built the log shed and where Al used the telegraph pole as part of his fencing.. I will get two christmas's this year, having already celebrated festivities once already when A-G& O did.
    I have to say from her first day working inclusively on the farm and her building of the rock wall round the firewood shed to now, Gina has evolved amazingly and has clearly gained much more confidence in herself as a result.
    As for tidying workshops, the first job I ever had was working in a cabinet making factory where part of my job was to keep the place clean and tidy and I remember an old guy once said to me how important it was to keep the work-place where you work every day, clean and tidy. It makes you feel so much more relaxed, and I have to say I could see his point, and have maintained that same point-of-view now for over forty years. I have a tendency to clean up as I go...

    So a cool little shop organization trick I saw forever ago was taking old canning jars and lids and attaching the lid to the bottom of a shelf so you can put odds and end screws/small parts into the jars and then screw them onto the lids. That way if you need a random part, screw, etc. they are easy to see and it keeps them from being a mess.

When a man says he’ll do something, he will. There’s no need to remind him every six to eight months.” Lol Thanks for the reminder guys😉 we had a good chuckle. Nice work as always too! It’s a plus to have great teamwork, it makes the projects fun and builds a stronger bond.❤️

    Happy Birthday, Al. Love all the organization and that you're putting tools back in place. Can't get over all that snow! We had none in New Castle, Delaware this winter. Love your videos! Started watching when Hope flew in from Arizona, so I've had the pleasure of watching Hope, Little-P, Magnolia, Little Man and Tanner grow up. Am gradually going back to watch your older videos, and WOW has Olivia shot up! Was wondering if you could give some back story, old pics or old video clips about Figero and Pluto. Have to admit I'm partial to Figero, in part because he could be the reincarnation of my late tuxedo cat, Shadow, who literally followed me everywhere for 19 years.

    Happy Birthday, Al. Jina here's a time saving tip: get a Vidalia Chop Wizard. It's a wonderful tool. I've had one for years. It comes with 2 sizes of grid blades: fine and coarse. Another tip if you get one: hold the heel of one hand over the hinge part of the top while smacking the other end while chopping...it will save that hinge, (which will eventually weaken), and will last much longer. Not that expensive. either. Blessings.

Those are different sized bins to hold nails, screws, nuts, washers, an bolts. Works for us, but your Wood looks so much nicer. Planking even pine is too expensive for us here. Funny thing that, all the logging that goes on around our area and ppl can't afford wood.... Such is life what looks best isn't always in the budget . Well we can't wait until spring either, it's been nice and melting here, getting in the 40s.... keeping our fingers crossed no 3 foot snow storms late like 2 years ago.

I've been wanting to suggest this for awhile (I just don't leave comments very often on any channels I watch) but Gina, if you cut your onion in half from the root to the tip, it is a lot easier to hold when the half is sitting flat and less likely to cut yourself. Everything you cook look very good. Wish we were still young and able to do what you guys do. God bless your family. :)

All Farmers have done this in the past we never had metal gates they had wooden gates. Look at historical pictures and you understand what I'm saying
