    I really appreciate that voiceover on the clip with Jonah. You said, "my farmer friend, Jonah". Not "My friend Justin's son" or anything else which positions him as anything other than your peer. Not only is Jonah smart and marture, and already pretty skilled at building things of his own, but he is a knowledgeable farmer, so it makes sense that you didn't refer to him like he is a child. But I think a lot of adults would not have spoken of him as a peer like you did, even ones who know him well. It's SO IMPORTANT for kids to have adult friends, especially through their teenage years. Adults who aren't their parents, who can be another resource for support and experiences. Glad to see you becoming one of those people for Jonah... I've always thought he would make a great apprentice for you!

    Jason:
    I have rolled plastic upward, as you have for this demonstration, but the rain pools on the roll and created weight that you probably do not need nor want.
    If you would roll it under instead, the rain will run off and keep it relatively lightweight.
    Just a thought, before you get the pigs in there and have a harder time accomplishing unrolling and re-rolling.
    Love your videos.

    You’re gonna love raising pigs 🐖 🐖. We raised them when I was growing up. Me and my sister were in charge of “slopping the hogs” and taking the water hose and cleaning out the pig pen. It had a wooden floor. Got a lot of good bacon ham and sausage for sure. Those were the good ole days. You’ll be ready for two more pigs when you process the ones you raise. Loved the video!!!

    You might be able to use a nontoxic stain or oil which would extend the life of your wood. Otherwise the elements will rot the baseboards in about 4 years. But if you apply an oil each fall they will last much longer. ☺from personal experience. Wonderful structure! So exciting!! Good job!

    You could move the tin and cattle panels after you make some compost to the other half and grow a garden where the pigs were. Put up greenhouse plastic on half, save some $. And grow pigs on the other half. Then 2 years down the line that whole thing would have great compost in it.

  • @BrianFox
    @BrianFox 4 года назад +2

    Just one tip. Make sure you can bring a trailer up to the door. When its time to make Bacon they can walk in to the trailer on there own . One week before. Bring the trailer in and only feed them in the trailer. That way when it's time you can feed and close the door behind them. That way you and the pigs will have less stress.
    Good luck

    @ezeeposse1 4 года назад +3

    Jason, I strongly advise that you consider a darker cover over the pigs' section as that white tarp will definitely not be enough protection on the pigs against the brutal NC sunshine during the hot summer days. You need to at least provide them with some solid shade protection from the sun or else they might have alternative health issues popping up regarding skin issues etc.

    @JohnHaplaPhilip 4 года назад

    Hay Jason... I normally don't comment on things but as someone that has to move soil, mulch and stuff by hand I thought I could offer a hint. When you start moving your woodchips into the shelter you could put garbage cans in your little trailer, looks like maybe 4. Then fill them with the woodchips. Once you get them close to the shelter you can pick up the whole can and dump the chips exactly where you want them. This saves having to shovel or pitch the woodchips more then you have to. I hope this makes sense.
    I also wanted to let you know I really like watching you channel. Keep moving forward buddy.

    Hey Jason. Changed greenhouse plastic for a living before. Good to start at the Apex of the arch on both sides first, starting point usually corresponds to a manufacturing fold in the plastic. Work your way down on both side of the arch then along your runner tract front to back. Extremely tight, wrinkle free, and withstands wind a lot better.

    Great idea and awesome video. FYI treated lumber is made for ground contact and the modern stuff is actually FDA approved.

    I love love love this pig structure. And you are right, the wiggle wire is fantastic! We used it for our greenhouse. PS... Our Greenhouse plastic was 20x40 and only cost like $125-$150. We need to do a partner build in NC when this CV stuff is over!
