    Hi Al, There is an old saying that every homestead or farm needs to have a kerosene torpedo heater.... having one allows you to warm your house now.. knock the chill off....but it can also be used to unfreeze pipes, warm equipment for better starting etc.... For a $300 investment you won't be sorry. I have one I use in my garage for when I am doing projects....well worth it

    Before the snow flies, think about bringing the shed (outhouse & tool) closer to the tiny house for the winter. You could also arrange to have your remodeled shipping container brought up so you could utilize the living space (wood stove & sleeping bunks) during the winter time for overnight stays and a place to warm up till tiny house gets these conveniences. I'm sure both would be used instead of driving back and forth to the farm.

    Hi Gina, always enjoy your cooking segments and just wanted to let you know that we chop and freeze for winter too! Carrots, onions, leeks, sweet potato, butternut squash, and swede also known as rutabega. Whenever I am ready to make dinner most of my chopping and prep is already done...yay!

    Don't forget the Electrical rough-in before the insulation and zip tape the corners.

    Really cute how Tanner held the ladder for Gina when she was on the ladder. 😁

    Have been watching your farm life for a while, really love it. All working together, that's how a family stays in unity. The wooden buildings for the animals are so beautiful. The structures are all solid, no wildlife can "get" to anyone. The goat herd is coming on beautifully, I love them especially the baby goats, who would not? The chickens are so well looked after as well as the pigs. It all seems to be in fine order, love the cooking sessions just down to good home cooking on the farm. The recent view of the vegetables in the green house, the tomatoes are growing so beautifully, you will reap a good crop for sure. It's a great life, but hard work. Keep going you reap what you sow!! Looking forward to the next video, go well. Kind regards from all of us.
