    Good to see you Becky! You’re my favorite homesteader 😄☀️we also looked into minisplits this year when we had to make some decisions about our central ac unit. We ended up keeping central, but if we ever have to decide for a new home, I’d choose minisplits. There are many advantages!

    Living in the Pacific Northwest I was most interested in the heating. Was very tempted to go with a mini-split because I am totally on solar power. Thanks to your warning I think I will have to look a little farther for heating the house. Thank you so much for the help with chickens

    • @BeckysHomestead
      @BeckysHomestead  Год назад +2

      Depending on how big your house is, you could use a mini split with a ceiling fan with the blades reverse, pushing the air(heat) up. Then it flows down the walls☀️❤️☀️

  • @richardwilliams4767
    @richardwilliams4767 Год назад +3

    Mini is limited on the heater because of the typical location at the ceiling- Heat rises, hence it does not get to the lower areas, even with fans.

    • @BeckysHomestead
      @BeckysHomestead  Год назад +3

      You can make the blades on a ceiling fan reverse to push the heat down, if you have one☀️❤️☀️

  • @DesertDog8989
    @DesertDog8989 11 месяцев назад +1

    I went from growing up in the US to living in many countries in Asia with mini-splits and am in love with mini-splits...quiet enough to sleep soundly, efficient, and work amazingly well. Be prepared to replace the fan/motor if in a very hot area every couple of years, but otherwise AMAZING purchase. Never will go back to breathing dust from ducts again! Great job, Becky! Next, radiant floor heat!

And spry like a MUCH younger horse! SURELY U R doing the right thing(s) 4 your animals. I think a BIG part of it is your LOVE 4 the animals...they get that and RESPOND in kind. Miss seeing Neil too! I am happy that U clarified this issue today as I was wondering what the 'low-down' was on it all and 'once again' U have the ability to make something confusing...VERY clear = Gift! Take care dear one. Health and God Bless! :)

      Hey, thanks for the nice comment. Neil is mad at me, because I was trimming his toe nails and clipped one a bit too short. He squealed at me and jumped is old chubby butt up.
      Now I have been trying to give him extra lovey dovey’s, to win his trust back and he is not giving it easy.

    Love this, been looking at this option. You may want to do a ceiling fan, they have an option now that you can just plug in the wall and hang from the ceiling so no trip over anything on the floor. I think one of the box stores sells it form $100. and its nice looking too. Keep sharing and keep cool.

    Hi! I love your videos and I was wondering if I could put some diatomaceous earth in my chickens treats and when I give them clover I put some in there because some of them aren’t eating a ton right now and that is the only way for me to give it to them. They are eating it with the clover but I was wondering if I could keep doing that. I tried searching but nothing would come up and I know your smart with chickens so if u could tell me if that’s ok it would be a life saver! Also I know this is long but I have one more question, some of my chickens are not eating there feed but love anything else to eat and are acting fine, do you know why? Thank you so much!
