    Our home is made from rough cut lumber and it is heavy so I was holding my breath and mentally helping you lift those walls.😅

    I have been waiting to see this video!! This is so exciting!! I have been watching your progress since you bought the property. So happy to see those walls go up. Glad you made big windows! And great work on the driveway! Just amazing progress. Prayers that the roof rafter install goes smoothly! Thank you for sharing these videos!

    I'm sure there are worry warts who will criticize, but I absolutely love seeing the boys on the construction site doing what they can. Keep it up even if someone shoots off their mouth.

    We were there in framing summer of 2022. One day we had 7 in of rain. Standing water on our floor bc we didn't have a roof. We were so stressed out. We milled all our framing from trees on our land . It took months to get the wood and more months to dry it. Some of it got mold but vinegar kills it. We r now living in it. It's not finished but we r getting there. We have managed to stay morgage free but that means progress it slow. We do it as we have cash . People think we r nuts bc everyone wants what they want now. So do I but not w a morgage so I will be patient even when I hate it. It gonna be worth it . That ruff cut lumber is 100 xs better than the crap u get from Lowe's. What we milled is so hard u can barely get a nail in and that crap we bought is like hammering into a sponge it's so soft. Love your progress. Hi from Arkansas.

    This is not a criticism at all. Been following y’all since the beginning, coming from someone very close to y’all (Presque Isle) you might want to raise those hay bales about to 3 feet above the ground. It gets very deep with snow and trying to dig them out during windy cold days is not fun at all! I have to do that with my wood burning fireplace. For wood, not hay….🤣 I lose the about 3 rows at the bottom every year due to the heights of the snow drifts that freeze the wood to the ground. Truly hope this helps you out. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

    • @josiah7865
      @josiah7865 Год назад

      That's something that we honestly hadn't thought about. I figure we'll be snowblowing with the tractor to clear a path there for the tractor, that should help us get to it. Thanks for watching.

    Impressed with all the framing you have done. As far as moving the stove…. Use you tractor pull the straps to put it into position not your backs! If you would hurt your back and be out of commission that can put you weeks behind in building. Work smarter not harder!

    Also... you're not fat, you're a fluffy handful.
    Nice big windows for the views and natural light.

    So great to see the progress on your medium house. It is a lot of work, but so important. I am happy to see that you are able to get some road work done also. I am so excited for you, to see that your are installing a Wood Cook Stove. You will love it - Learning curve, but well work it. Except that it means years worth of making firewood every year. :)

    Being from the Pacific Northwest our haying season is pretty temperamental as well.
    you may find more farmers bailing haylage (big field marshmallows) in these times, might could be a good alternative for yer goats, I know cattle and sheep love it.

    • @somethinggreenacres6433
      @somethinggreenacres6433  Год назад

      I see a lot of silage around here! And I didn't know what it was at first. I think I will be trying it in the future, but decided not to this year because (1) our tractor cannot lift that much weight to move it around, and (2) I was unsure if the pigs would learn there was food inside and prematurely destroy the wrapping before it was time to dole it out over the winter. I am very curious, though. Thanks for watching!

      There's a side door at the farthest point from the wood stove. Also 3 windows are big enough to be egress points, so far. We're also planning on a large one in the loft with one of those emergency ladders for the boys. Thanks for watching.
