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!

This is the Nozzle we got for the Outdoor Kitchen amzn.to/2xq7raw If you have any recommendations for a smaller one let us know

Make sure to leave the valve open to prevent freezing. This is a 7/8 but 1/2 can be found according to your hose.
Putting heat on in a car? That is something I have not done in many years. I wonder if cars in The Philippines have heaters. We use our air conditioner almost every day of the year in Texas and every day in The Philippines. I would be afraid of water freezing in your out door kitchen. I would leave the hanging pots alone.
Gina's chair seems to be well occupied. I missed a lot of good times with my goats, I never fed them my apple levels. The cake looks delicious. The Lumnah's remain a hard working and blessed family.
Al, thanks for sharing. (Iwonder if a deer hit your fence?)
Curtis Stone uses this at his washing station. You could use it by itself or put a nozzle on the end of it. www.amazon.com/dp/B000HHQAQY/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_.QoOBbX7T72E8

VIDEO THAT AL JUST EDITED AN
POSTED THIS MORNING.....
Geeeze Dude ! 🤔 ........
Thanks I got one ordered. Can't wait to see if it works
Those animals of yours are the luckiest alive because you show and treat them with so much love and it shows on the animals. How can you not love the goats. Greetings from Nymagee, outback Australia from Barry and my 15 Nubian goats. Cheers mate
Thank you AL for sharing your video homestead you have done a good job 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐈🐔🐓🐥🐐🐖🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
You are the greatest Al, you are my hero. Love to you all.
You can get a really cheap "shop vac" at lowes for about 35 bucks. It's just the vac top and hose, etc. You attach it to the top of any 5 gallon bucket. Put one of those in the goat barn, to pick up the poop on their bed. Then you can dump that in the compost pile, instead of having it build up in the barn that much faster.
The hose may develop a permanent kink in it where it comes across that wheel. Also, when you drain it, don't forget to drain the inside as well.
Such a beautiful fall day.
All looks good!
That is such nice clean goat manure up on their bed that you can use right away... You should brush it into a catch pan and add it right into your garden raised beds.
You could use a trail cam to watch the critters when you’re sleeping.
Great setup for the outdoor kitchen. So glad you moved that pot. I would have had to move it, i wouldn't be able to live with that off center.
you could get a bucket and collect the goat pellets for the compost.. betcha that bear might of been looking for food with that fence i remember it from when they were doing the logging in the videos
Those chicks are looking good!!!
Purffect lol that works .no prints to see what it was .
Check out heated water hose (for RV's)
You could replace the weights on the hose with a spring.
Okay Al , I have a thought . How about attaching a clamp around the hose ( not compressing the hose , merely grasping the hose ) and attaching something like a screen door spring to the clamp and the other end of the spring to the ceiling. That way , the hose could hang down but still be out of the way. When you need to use the sprayer , just pull it down. When finished with the sprayer , the spring will retract the hose up and out of the way. What do you think ? Any spring would work but a screen door spring would not be hard to pull on and will stretch out quite a ways.
OCD with the hanging pots. Hahaha me too! Funny with the fence... "right in a pile of poop." Isn't that how it usually goes? LOL!
Game cam, we want to see too!!
Great video. I wonder if a deer went thru the fence. Gina is so cute with the goats. Lovely looking apple cake. 🎃💞
Hi Al, I suggest a battery vacuum to clean the goats' sleeping spot, I would have tied the nozzle to the ceiling with a spring, so it can be pulled down, like some lamps with variable height have it, instead of the counterweight you did. And I also hope, that Andy has found his final place to stay, as the ones before were not perfect for his living and did not really fit him
Nozzle is for fire fighting lol. But will work.
You can always share food with recipe. hehehehe love it.
Have you tried the quick connections that go on water hoses. Connects like an air hose and will make the connecting/unconnecting of the water hose a breeze!!
I wonder if you had considered hanging the pots upside down to make it easier to keep clean, minimizing criders and dirt.
Trail Cam!
Al. Those "Nanny Berries" are valuable nuggets for your garden! Please don't touch those catapillers, they can cause a rash. Courage, Barbara in Maine
I will have to start saving the goat berries! I never knew that about those caterpillars thanks
I think it was the caterpillar!
Maybe a deer was going through the two fence wires and was shocked causing it to jump and thus shooting the insulator up into the air and landing where you found it. Also another item that might help your battery last longer on your pig fence is to get it off of the ground. As a battery sits on the cold ground energy is pulled from it by way of cooling the battery more than what it would be just in the air around it. If you haven't by now you could also put a solar charging system attached to it like a solar panel that you could clip to it but you would have to regulate the charging of the battery with a regulator as well.
I think saving the goat manure for the garden is a good idea too.
U must keep gap between those woods and down u have to put a plastic sheet so those goat stuff fall down in the sheet and u just take out those sheets and clean it
Can you please share the recipe to your apple cake? Looks so YUMMY!!
So you moved the hanging pot maybe 4 inches........ LOL!! Improvising is the sign of a smart person. Everything has a 2nd or 3rd use.
Love your channel. I would of expected to not love your morning feeding routine but I do! You have a very relaxed kind way with your family and your animals. Any chance of sharing the apple cake recipe?!!
I'll have to get Gina to share the recipe with me and I'll post it on our website at some point and I'll let all the modern steaders know
To keep horses from freeze use swimming noodles.
I would buy a gate spring for the hose. they are cheap. Use a hose clamp (airplane clamp).
I'll have to look into one of them
Goat poop looks much easier to clean up then pig, cow or dod poop. Cake looked yummy!
I hope you put the goat pellets in your compost pile!!!
I was thinking instead of raking them off into the straw he should collect and compost them separately. They should be pure gold for the garden.
That's where they end up
Maybe it was a deer and that apple cake looks so good
Thinking it's time for a game camera to keep an eye on what's happening at night
Put the covers on to keep the spiders out of you hanging pot.
the goats said that was an appealing snack
I noticed the large hole on the inside of the pig run almost in front of the fence post. Could they have been rooting with there nose and caught the bottom wire with insulator and sent it for a ride, "grass is always greener on the other side" lol. Maybe they got a little zap and stayed inside the pasture. Did you walk around the entire thing to see if it was something else who got inside made a exit.
You should get a trail cam. It would be interesting to see what lurks in the darkness at your place :)

I love how Gina goes out and sits with the goats. I can see the appeal- entertaining and relaxing.
Hey, I looked up those catipillars and they said their called white hickory tussock catipillars. Experts say not to handle them because they let off a substance from their black bristles that can cause an allergic reaction, itching or a rash. Their a native of Canada. They live off of several trees but apple trees are one of them. They also showed another white catipillar that's poisonous that's showing up in Pa. I believe the one you showed though is the one I found. Be careful with them. Especially with Olivia. Tell her not to be picking them up without gloves. Not sure how they are as far as the chickens. Another woman living out in the country said they showed up on her place as well but didn't say exactly where she lived though. Hope this help's.

Ya, I was gonna say that: be careful with catipillars because some are very poisonous simply by touching them.
Your family is so lucky
You should scoop the goat poop into a pale and then throw it out in the pasture. At least you wont have to pick it up off the ground afterwards!
I know this is 2 years old, and I'm hoping you will get notified of a comment on this post. I'm interested in gathering information on your electric fence set up. Like the name of the company, the amount of zap power, if it's a 12 volt system, if you like the system, what you like about it, and where did you purchase it? I've tried to look for Premier on line, and see different locations in Oklahoma. I doubt you ordered it from OK though. any help would be great. We have raccoons coming into our yard and leaving their droppings. We have a wood privacy fence that I'd like to run the wire at the top of the fence. Any ideas on how to stop them would be great also. Thank you, I really like watching your projects. Hope the 500 acres won't be to over the top. Later, and again, thank you.
Nice to see all the great things that you're doing around the homestead Al...with Gina and Olivias' help...Top Notch and looking cool!😊👍✌🏼
It's on The Wire
First guess is deer 🦌.
Very kind of you to give a heads up before making all that noise. It's the little things.
How did Andy get out to the pigs?
Are you ever going to install some frost free hydrants around your property? They make it easy to put water access out where frozen ground makes it difficult. Installing them would be a good project for your channel. Installing the gravel pit beneath them and explaining how they are self-draining is a classic homestead concept.
The pigs are so trained by the electric fence that you could turn it off and they would not likely stray.
Lmao OCD much !!! Omg can't stop laughing that you had to move that middle pot
What is Andy doing??? Escape...........Escape.....LOL
Use your apple peels to make jelly.
or apple cider vinegar :)
I am enjoying your videos very much. They are interesting, and again thanks for sharing.
Could you find a wide spray type nozzle at a restaurant supply place?
One of the Steaders found one on Amazon I got It ordered
Is there a reason why you don't sweep the goat poop in a bucket and put in your garden beds.
Some of those white caterpillars will excrete a liquid that will blister on you that hurts like hell.
Thanks Al and the Lumnah's!
Skunks eat small rodents. They are just like wild cats. I've known people who put a bowl of milk on their porch so a wild skunk will stop by each day. They are very social and become tame enough that they don't spray unless a dog or cat bothers them. You could be friends of skunks.
I'm new to ur channel where did u get ur white electric fence at
What is it with goats jumping on things that are elevated?
What free item did you get with your casters at ye old harbor freight?
I am thinking it was a deer running through wire bent over the fiber glass pole when it snapped back it launched the insulator
I always suggest cameras around livestock so you can see what’s up at night. You can get them cheap on amazon
Would you consider using all your spent straw or hay to cover your raised bed through out the winter? You will end up with weed free beds, happy worms and amazing soil at the bottom for your summer garden.
Yea we need to cover our gardens before winter comes with compost and straw
Maybe it was a deer who didn't see the wire in the dark???
Did you work in any Trade? You seem to know how to fix everything.
I have worked in a few different trades
You should buy some trail cameras to see what's lurking around
Motion detector game camera would be cool
Lol cleaning the goat's bunkbed could be worse....... Could be big ol' cow flops x-D
This is true
LOL, my husband and I would have moved the POT as well. Great job with the outdoor kitchen. Nice matching sweatshirts!!
Have a great day....Time for a GAME CAM 😉
I so appreciate your making the hanging pots even. I am a wee bit OCD and things like that bother me!
Recipe, recipe, kindly share to us, the recipe!
My guess is it was a moose or a wild animal. Maybe a bear
Put a camera on a tree where something went through the pigs wire to see if it does it again.
Put up a camera. Any hoofs marks??
Good job on the kitchen 🌿
Your sink sprayer hose is quite Macgyver, awesome.
Just find a wooly bear caterpillar
Great job with the hose and the cake looked yummy!
Good morning all. Can't wait for cooler weather here in Tn.
You have hot water to the outdoor kitchen? Do you use a traditional hot water heater?
We have a hose spigot that does hot and gold outside
So it's hosed from the house? Not hardlined to the kitchen?
Right. We hook our hose up when we need it. I want to set it up with rain water
@@LumnahAcres right on. I was curious because I know someone makes an inline hot water heater however I'm not sure on how well it works being exposed to outdoor seasonal temps. Thought you may have installed one and I missed it. Anyhow, a rainwater feed should work well in your application. Great channel Al and thanks for the info.
👍👍👍🙂
Heyyy!! Whats Andy doing in with the pigs? He escape or you felt bad for him?
He must of escaped. I didn't realize he was there.
I use 3/4" EMT mounted with conduit clips (the good ones with a bolt, not a sheet metal screw) to make hanging rails in my shop. I usually custom-bend the hooks for whatever weird thing I'm hanging so it hangs the way I want it, but I also have a bunch that are long S-hooks.
I like that idea 💡
That’s a hickory tussock moth caterpillar. Don’t touch them!! Or least don’t get their guts on your skin. You will break out in hives and burn all over. Very painful for children, and adults. Stay away from them. Bad year from them here in the north east. I have them all over my property too. A good freeze will get rid of them!
Andy boy is in with the pigs! Good for him. Seems like a rather mild tempered fellow. I agree about those recipes, would love the apple cake and banana bread :)
Mauro
deer maybe got your fence. share the recipe for that cake that we all can have some. lol!
Still waiting to see Moose being the first one out. Wow that insulator really went flying...good job finding it! Have a great day
Well I guess if you cant share the cake, maybe just share the recipe! Im so thankful you "fixed" the pots, your OCD neighbor -Erin
oh the crocodile tears :)
What breed of goats do you have?
We have Nigerian dwarfs
It seems like Gina likes to bake.....True?
She does enjoy it.
15:45 mins on your vlog has Andy left the New Yolk City and joined the pig flock
I noticed Moose bullies him, despite being half his size. Either Andy has a mild temperament or maybe he can't see well enough to joust? Either way, now he can make all the chicky mamas swoon over at the pigs LOL
Remember he once lived with Mr. Biggs so he was shown his place real quick I'm sure, plus was able to free range in his past life and now cooped up. Also I remember from the beginning he would sleep on top of NYC and in the apple tree when they were in the current pig pasture last year. Always been a odd duck look at him... I mean polish rooster lol.
Andy's a country boy, he doesn't belong in NYC.
why don't you take all that pellet poop from the goats and it being so easy to handle, spread it in your garden boxes/area's over the year so as to fertilize them for the present/next crop, or do you take it with the straw and and add it to the compost pile, Later
