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!

Love how you guys work so well together. You are an inspiration. No yelling, no condescending remarks, just positive and supportive energy. Great job!
Yes, I wish my hubs had Al's patience!!!
Fear of heights is no joke and facing them on camera takes guts, very well done Gina.
Gina you're such a special woman. You just want to learn everything, I think your little one is going to be a lot like you:).
Shoot. They should have named her Gina Jr. Lol
and fearless like her dad
Poor Gina, but Kudos for her doing that anyway.
I love the whiteboard idea. That would be so cool.
So glad they have found a use for that instead of just throwing it away.
Great job Gina...it takes a lot of courage to face your fear of being on the wobbly scaffolding. I give you a big thumbs up. You and Al make a great team. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Have a Blessed day.
"how am I gonna nail and hold on"?
That would so be me. Thanks, that made me laugh x.
Made me laugh seeing Figero jump when you moved the tarp. He's such a great cat. I felt for Gina when she said she didn't like the way the board moved when she was on it. I hear you, girl. Good job you two! Bless your sweet hearts.
I so look forward to every video from you and I’m never disappointed.............. I almost feel like I am there with you. Thank you for sharing your days and constructions with us! God bless you and your lovely family.
Al, you do such a great job with adding the music to your videos. You make the video so enjoyable, cause it mixes so well with the music. Great Job!!!!!!
My grandpa was a wood worker by trade, owned his own cabinet shop and then went on to own a hardware store. I was fascinated by everything he did, even making keys and mixing paint. lol. I just loved spending time with him. He built his addition, helped us build our addition back in the 60’s and built us furniture, did a lot of woodwork inside their new house etc. He was very talented.
Gina you did better on the high work than I would have. I do not get on anything high!! I had to conquer flying to go see my new Grandson..it was terrible but worth it! The shed looks really good.
@Yar Nunya it's a great concept, except there are far less planes in the sky then cars on the ground. Even the amount of planes, and the odds might be similar.....just a thought.
Suggest putting pallets down 2 stack firewood on inside the shed...
I was thinking those pallets they used to separate the new fire storage shed would be perfect. I think they came with the goat barn.
I use pallets for big round hay bales and firewood. Snakes love it in the summer. It helps save the hay and wood, but my nerves are a wreck. LOL.
Creative idea repurposing the top of the wood stove, Gina!
You are right to keep the drainage away from the shed . Better to have the water run away from the wood than to it. Wow looking good on that wood shed. Team work...works LOL God's blessings.
So even a little ol' wood-shed is the same build quality as a full-sized barn. Yep. Why would you not? 🙂
Yep. They're building it to last. We should all build like this don't you think?
@@stephanieellis5399 Al would never make it as a contractor for Walmart.
Good morning Al and Gina. The two of you are turning into a great construction team. Olivia will soon be growing tall enough to reach the water.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you stack your firewood so that you can always get to the seasoned wood without having to dig through the fresh cut. When I was growing up, we made several stacks, always ensuring that the bark side was up on the top row to protect from the rain and snow.
Nathaniel Sizemore ~ I heard him say in one video that they use from the side that's already cured for a year while the other side dries. Then, when they get new wood, it cures for a year untouched.
@@TXNLaurenMcN thank you.
Al, thank you for sharing and teaching Gina a few things about building construction trade and mini-farm life. I know too many women who don’t even know the business end of a hammer and even less than driving a tractor. Your patience and encouragement is great. Well done!
Gina I am scared to death of heights, but you did wonderful. It takes a bit to get some what comfortable being up high and it took guts to do what you did. So proud of you that you were able to face your fears on this project. That takes guts! Glad you didn't get up there on the back half though. Al is a little more experienced up there, although I know that had to make you feel anxious with him being up there. I know I hated when my late husband was up high doing things. Glad you have that extra set of hands helping you Al, that is always a nice plus. Good to see you too Olivia, I hope school is going well for you.
If I could turn back the hands of time 50 years, I'd do exactly what you're doing. Back in '69 I was 21, fresh out of the service and starting the American dream. Run your own business-build the dream house-big cars-country club membership-boat at the lake house-even a private airplane. I accomplished all those things. But there was something missing, I eventually liquidated everything and purchased a few acres of land, built a small house and began farming the land, and raising some ducks. I found 'that something' that was missing. I suppose it's different for all of us, but a connection with the land and the simple beauty of a sunrise on a frosty morning is more than enough for me. I only wish I would have made the move decades sooner. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us, you'll never know how much it means to me and many more just like me.
Looking good! It's nice to see Gina helping you with the woodshed.
Oh, I LOVE that idea with the piece from the stove! You could even mount it upside down from the way Gina was writing on it.... then you would have a shelf too! Shed is looking awesome, guys!! 💕!
Things are going so well because you have a good partner to work with!! Looking great guys.
She prefers Terra Firma... The more firmer, the less terror! 😆
LOL
Hello folks, just started watching your videos, so impressed. We are about to order a Jamaica Cottage package to put on our slab. Your videos are invaluable. We are geriatric homesteaders living nearby in Sugar Hill for 11 years now. I grew up in Lexington MA. So nice to see younger folks with the pioneer spirit. You are so talented. God bless your family.
Way to go Gina! That would be scary up on that scaffolding. The woodshed is coming along. You have a beautiful homestead. God bless
I painted houses for a couple summers when I was in college. The first couple days I held on for dear life to anything I could grab. Before long I was walking around without a single worry like it was nothing.
Eric Olson = I helped shingle our house, I was put on the very top of a two story! Got up there and wouldn’t come down until the end of the day, the first two days. Was so scared. By the time we were done, I could do what had to be done. Was a tough three weeks. Just didn’t have the money to hire it done. But I got my part done. Now need to just do later and paint!
From someone who doesn’t even like being this tall (5’2”) I admire your bravery!!! Always, always safety first. Hope you have a joyous day Gina, I am impressed!!! Catherine from Canada 🇨🇦
Good Morning Al, hubby says I wake up with the chickens, , I said that's weird we don't have any chickens :>()" hahaha.
I hope you all have A SAFE & Blessed Day My Friend. .. PS.
, The Shed
. Looks Great.
, " Sheila "♡
I hope.you gave that lovely lady a great big hug and kiss because she had to fight how scared she was in order to help you. How much is fire wood going these days?
So awesome Gina is less shy of camera and on videos more. Your cool n all Al... but that bride of yours softens your vlogs lol.. your all gems. Keep being happy and living the dream. 🌻
Good job Gina, the shed is looking great.
Taper it down. Mud is mud anywhere. Figaro is a good supervisor, he checks in at the start and at the end otherwise he stays out of the way. Gena, I am 68 and have had a serious fear of heights since I was young, you are brave and I admire your moxie. I also fear when my family members go up high like Al. They have no problem but I fear for their safety as well. You go, girl. The wood shed looks great.
I felt my own knees knock when you were up there Gina 😶😶. Team work makes any job go faster,plus you have someone to chit chat with lol.The shed looks great.You three are a blessing to us also Al.
Good morning! Gina you're braver then I would be getting up on the scaffolding, you handled it like a pro! Al I hope you and your family take some time for your selfs. You have worked extra hard this week, not only on the build but also the amazing videos. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your families journey. Have a wonderful weekend. 🇨🇦
Great idea for stove piece reusable dry erase board/cabinet in goat area!!!
Great work today, Gina. Watching you dare to get your sea legs reminds of learning, as a young man, to master my fear of heights to work on high ladders and rooftops. My co-workers called me "10-rung man" because I tried to spread myself across the maximum number of ladder-rungs, and because I tended to freeze up when I was more than 10 rungs high. Eventually I got over it, and you will, too.
Al! It's not rusty! It's patina! 😂 I absolutely love the whiteboard idea!
I can see the siding going up tomorrow... Yes it is so nice to have a second set of hands for a large project. Good afternoon Olivia, I hope you are loving school.
cannot get over how Olivia's hair has grown over the summer and so shiny -must be all that good food and bounteous growth hormones at that age
Looks like Gena is home full time now. She has been a big help with screwing and nailing boards. I thought she'd be climbing on the long side installing the strapping, but handing up the wood is a big help, too. Then she picks up apples when time allows! She could start loading the wood on the trailer.
well done Gina,i know what its like as im not a lover of heights ,but you did make me laugh,helping Al with the strappings making them flush while your eyes are closed ,been there done that got the T-shirt hahahaha...but gotta give both you and Al the Gold Star and thumbs up for transferring the same quality of build for the wood shed as you you did for the barn,nice to see people as committed to excellence as you two,cant wait for Saturdays video,
Nice shed but I'd suggest putting a gutter over the front part, otherwise you're gonna get a lot of rain water creeping in. I know it maybe not that good to look at but it avoids any damp build up at the entrance. Good luck!
sorry I realise I did not explain myself properly, without any roof overhang protecting the openings, you're going to get rain falling inside, obviously how much depends on which direction the wind blows the bad weather, even if most comes from for example the rear, I am sure like where I live the wind brings the rain normally from the west off the Atlantic Ocean but many other times it'll blow from all directions, and when really stormy, it blows horizontally!! I recently put some guttering up and extended the roof by 4 feet, all to prevent some old wooden cladding from rotting. Good luck again, enjoy the videos and like many, full of admiration for taking on such projects, a heavy responsibility - you're fortunate indeed to have essential family contributions to help ease the workload!!
Poor Gina. Felt your pain, if you don't like being on scaffolding it's an uncomfortable feeling. It's all looking good though Lumnahs.
Good morning to y’all. Olivia ‘s hair is really growing so fast and so pretty. I just started juicing again and I feel good. I wish a great weekend for all.
Really enjoyed the video keep them coming really like watching other people work
good effort from Gina :) the wood shed starting to take shape!
By the way, I like the face in the tree. Guess Mr L is watching over the shed at all times. 😁🤩
Props to Gina for getting up there! I would be terrified...
🦋 ☮
Poor Gina... Did I see a death grip a few times? Id be the same way. You can do it woman!!!
I have always been afraid of heights and as a senior citizen I never got over it. So your all brave on what your doing. Good job so far on the wood shed:)
Gina, I have to hold on too. One thing that I have to remember is to breathe. Once I start breathing I can relax a bit. I try remember that I don't need a death grip as I am standing on my own two feet and they've supported me all these years... That holding on is only giving me a frame of reference when my head decides to swoon. One other piece of advice besides practice is focus your eyes at your project and blur out the background... And don't forget to breathe. Sending you lots of love 💝 from sunny ☀Arizona 🌵
Good Morning Farmer AL, Cowgirl Gina & Lil Cowgirl Olivia! 😁👍
I know it’s a smaller building than the barn, but Gina helping you is really making it go so much faster! ❤️👍
so great to have early vids.thank you for going to the trouble for me i would have to be a poet express myself as to how much i enjoy watching T/Y
Great job!!! I know how getting up there can be very scary. I once went up on the roof to help my husband with a weather vain and suddenly found myself frozen in place. It took everything to calm myself down and get back on the ground!! Wasn't expecting that! The shed is really coming along nicely.
Restoring the stovetop seems like a perfect FIRST project to build in your new barn. What a nice Autumn day project! My 3 year old grandson and I love 💕 to watch your videos together. Grayson always tells you “Mornin’ Al.” When you tell us “Mornin’”. THANK YOU 🎉💖🎉💖for being a part of making a special memory between my grandson and me.
Thank you ... from my old days of building houses and before aluminium staging, we used 2 X 12's --- to stabilize the walking platform (using 2 - 2 X 12's) we would screw-on a small piece of plywood or scrap 2 by ... this would help to eliminate the bounce and provide a comfortable walking platform. Again, thanks for sharing.
Great. Love it. Moose Rocks too!
Wow my stupid phone messed up .I was watching AL &his daughter & Gina .but these phones are idiots ..any way I've been watching you guys For ever & ENJOYING the adventure even before your Barn Build ..I'm Very pissed cause every morning i would get my breakfast & coffee & enjoy your Day ..I'm 62 & your living my Dream .
I wonder what the next build will be. Great job Lumnah family.
I'm thinking
Gina and Olivia's Timber Frame Studio
Or at least it's on the list near the top..
Happy wife. 😊
Happy life. 😃
Just one person helping makes the job so much faster even if they don't like heights ;) Al Can you add the details of the tools you use in the show notes?
You'll have that woodshed full in no time! It is hard to believe that Fall is almost upon us already! Blessings to all.
Gina you will get used to it. I was very leery of working on the roof of our two story house but after a while it was nothing.
One spring while I was living on a little ranch for a few years, our eleven ewes had dropped their lambs, and we collected enough of their milk for me to make almost a full GALLON of Yogurt. Astoundingly rich and creamy milk; made the best yogurt I've ever tasted. The Ewes had plenty to spare, and their lambs all grew strong very quickly.
Boy, this brings back a lot of good memories. Thanks for sharing your posts.
Gina and I have the same pissed off look when we are concentrating. People often think I'm mad. She looks the same way. 😂😂
Me three; "Why you mad Mom?" Not mad, just concentrating...to this day.
As well as squinting into the sunlight.
Creating Family Moments ~ My older sister (76) and I discovered that unless we're actively smiling, it looks like we're mad. Age has pulled our facial muscles down, lol. I was always a "smiler" anyway, now I'm more of one so I don't alienate people.
gina im on your side i fell off the ladder 3 steps up last month and now sitting on the sofa with my leg on a feather pillow cracked my the knee cap in 4 pieces im not having fun sea legs my fudge brownies lol lol lol
Gina you are a awesome wife, you face your fears and conquer them. You love him so much and do do want him to hurt him self. I just love it. The two of you make a great team.
Kudos to Gina for getting up on the staging. I've worked with people that could scramble around on staging and wall plates like monkeys. Not me, my toes would curl around like I was trying to get a death grip with my feet. Safety tip with staging. Don't stage materials on your walk planks, they're a trip hazard. Better to put more planking across the top rails of the staging behind you to set tools on and stage the materials on or behind that.
Love cool mornings we have been in the 30s in the mornings lately.
Good job, Gina! Feel the fear and do it anyway!
Great looking woodshed build. It is so nice to have inside storage for firewood and equipment! You guys work great together, saving time!
Kudos, Gina. Your willingness to work beside Al, even the scary heights parts, shows that you are a full partner in the building of your homestead. Are you on vacation from your job, or are you at home full time now? I really enjoy watching your family's videos. Thanks for sharing with us.
Could you not turn the milking stand for Willow around like you had it in the old goat house, then she would be looking out rather than to a wall and you would look more comfortable like you did in the old goat barn, just a thought ???
What happened to the trail Cam? Any possible predators?
I love the Al portrait in the tree.
Proud of you Gina forgetting up on the staging and not squabbling
Moose is the Man! Moose says Al ,there seems to be a little chill in the air some mornings don't ya think?
Gina is a trooper. Al, you're great with your encouragement. What teamwork.
I built a basement under my house with stairs going down. It was warm but not too warm as the moisture from wood drying didn't need to be in the floor. I could put five cords of wood down there and it sure was easy and convenient for me to get the wood needed for the mrs., to keep house warm. She could if needed get down there cause we had our largest pantry down there. I sure miss that house that took the two of us about all told three months to build then work on for the rest of the time I lived there. Houses do need maintenance from time built. Ours was appraised at four hundred thousand dollars and we cut all the lumber off our land and only bought the fancy moldings and what not plus the brick for the two fireplaces. We put the king stove inserts in the fireplaces as we intended at the start
Gina: I don't want to, but I will! She, like most of us, will find the next time isn't that bad. After a while, she will be racing you to the top :-) Having said that - the look on her face was priceless
I was watching Weed 'n' Reap, only to find out you Al designed the goat milker. You should do something with that!!!!! Don't forget it is your intellectual property. Building the wood building is almost done. Don't forget what l said, start something that makes your life even better! Have a great day!!🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋👼👼👼👼👼👼👼👼🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
Thank you for Highlighting my comment!! I hope the Lumnahs put down the hammer gun long enough to enjoy the last weekend of summer! 🌲🌾🍁🍂🍂🍁🌾🌾🌾🌲🌲🌾🌾🍁🍂🍀🍀🍂🍂🍁🍁🌾🌲🌲🍀🍀☘🍃🌿🌿🍃☘🍀🍂🍁🍁🌾🌲🌲🌲🌾🌾🍁🍂🍂🍀🍀☘☘☘🍃🍃☘🍀
Gina you're doing a awesome job.
love watching you. at 70 cant do what i use to do. use to have chikens and goats and ducks.. miss that life.
Good video....
The extra set of hands really do help everything go twice as fast.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us.God bless.
You're doing a great job Gina!
Lovely art work on the tree.
Love all the goat video! I'm afraid of heights and get dizzy watching you guys sometimes lol! Have a great day!
Al, southeast Tennessee is cool almost as New Hampshire. We woke up this morning to a 57 degrees. Normally August is our hottest month and the temp doesn't start cooking down until about the middle of September. It feels good.
Heights are no joke to folks who don't like them,well done Gina. My last 10 years living in New England I worked as a steeplejack all over that region.
After seeing your dragon on the release vent yesterday I found an ordered a cannon for mine LOL
Love this video. So fun watching you guys build the shed. You are very talented. Such a happy family.
Hey Gina, a good person on the ground to hand stuff up, is more valuable than a scared one on the scaffolding. I love how the two work together!
Al, for what is worth... I would remove the dirt directly in front of you woodshed entrances due to ice/snow build up, not to mention that small roof section will be dumping there also. Having grown up on a small farm like yours (goats, chickens, Pigs and bees) in Maine this would save you some grief. Should it not be an issue for you, you can always put it back in the spring. Love you videos, it takes me back to my youth. By the way goat’s milk makes awesome yogurt...God Bless and have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Bert
ohh its a little bouncy, well only 5ft off the ground, those scissor lifts go up 30 ft and it sways alot lol those were fun
Hi Al, Maybe put the hey and a few pellets on the boys bunk bed way back in the corner to get them to get the idea that's a spot for them?
It was in the 90s at 7 am & will be 107 today in Yucca, Arizona.
GOOOD Morning! I love the new barn, the wood shed looks like it’s going to be awesome. I feel inspired by how your place is coming along. I was set up already in NC but for family reasons had to move to KY. It was hard finding the motivation to set back up but watching your channel over the last couple of days, me and my boys are getting started this weekend!
Gooood morning!! Rise and shine I love watching y'all 2 work together hope you all have a blessed day!!
That was an awesome jump Figaro!
Good mornin New Yolk City .... The Apprentice getting introduced to "walking the plank" ~8^) Oh I know how she feels .... I've been up on some high (high being relative) scaffolding doing some painting and it can be disconcerting at first, although I don't think I ever really felt entirely comfortable up there. The barn nor the woodshed build heights would bother me. It really is situational whereby not all heights are the same. It's a matter of trusting the structure you are working on .... you get used to it .... mostly ... heh heh! Take care AL, Gina & Olivia .... have a nice Labor Day weekend.
Good Morning Al..Gina and Olivia it's another bright productive day at the homestead....All the animals are doing good...Your wood house build is coming along smartly...I'm not building but that nail gun is so nice and nifty...seeing how you load it with the nails...Like the light hearted 'music' playing!🐐🐣🐅🌱
"The not so sexy part of construction". Funny Al. Wasn't aware of a sexy part.
Gina's face was priceless. She is one brave lady. I really admire your family's willingness to learn and do new things.
