Porch Concrete Day!
Concrete porches poured for our barndominium. We did two 16x40 side porches and a front 12x40 porch. They will be connected with small “covered sidewalk” areas. Our porch posts are cemented in, and our house frame posts will be attached directly to the pad.

Why Did We Choose Goats?
มุมมอง 633 ปีที่แล้ว
So why did we get goats? What's it like having goats? What has been our experience? Have the myths surrounding goat ownership proven true or false for us?
1st Time Hatching Chicks from Eggs

This was our first time using an incubator to hatch out chicks. So exciting! We caught the first chick’s hatching on video!
Need concrete to hold posts more securely.
Why was he so rude to you?
Great how-to. Thanks :) Do these plastic pulleys last very long?
Why do you call it old fashioned ? its normal here , nothing better than clothes drying in fresh air
I had two cedar doors that I had to refinilsh and I ended up using Australian Timber Oil stain and was real happy with it.If you are going to use MiniWax whilch by the way is owned by Sherwin Williams I would only use the one quart pro version that the paint stores sell. The box store MiniWax is too watery for me. The pro version is more like the old oil base stain which the color can be custom mixed.

You need to stir the stain. Not a few shakes.
use a 20foot scaffold tubes or tube, use post hole mix quick setting, two three bags, did a hole or pit, 2 foot deep same square you need it for the weight stop the post leaning over, put a post each end, or fix one end to a building. then when you put your wash out ,it's nice high in the wind/air high washing lines like this are very popular in UK, had mine 22 years, still good, drill the post I used strong wire to fix the pulley to the top, and winder at the bottom about 4 foot up,
What size are posts?
Thanks for this video
Great!! Thank you
What about rain? Does it not fall over?
Only an hour? I want to do this now. 😄
Did you treat the wood first? Plus you didn’t put in cement.
Good eye! We chose not to cement it in on purpose, because we were right in the middle of building our house and planned to move it about 2 acres back closer to the house once it was completed. We just completed the house, so now this clothesline will be dug up and redone with treated wood and cement for a more permanent line.
What a horrible video
Which color does Barney the rooster like?😎
how tall is the post? Maybe like 8 feet? Would that be tall enough?
I didn't quite hear the last part something what for a day or two?. Right after tighten the rope. I'm so interested in making myself same clothes line but I'm not to good of a handyman so I'm basically writing down every step from your video on how to do this. So I very much appreciate your sharing with us thank yous.😊
Where would find a pully at. And how would you get the rope tight enough for hanging blankets towels etc.
Not just for blankets. Once you start loading the line, the line will start to sag in the middle. What you need is an extra piece of 4"x2" It will need to be six or seven feet. On one end cut a V shaped notch, a few inches deep. Cut it across the four-inch width, not the two-inch, or there will be insufficient wood/strength in the end of the pole. Slip the notched end under the middle of the rope and raise the pole. Because it is six or seven feet long, the pole will lift the rope upwards and will keep your clothes clear of the ground. When you want to take the clothes down, remove the pole and the rope will sag down to enable you to easily un-peg the clothes.
I'm in shock! All the money and time spent on this project. The pole won't last because you didn't put cement in the hole!! I must say I do like the pulley system method. And will use this when I start my clothed line project.
Screw-eye won't last ...considet thru-bolt with nut & washer, and better attitude toward wife and child, or that won't last either.
You got good video editing. Your spouse doesn’t seem very enthusiastic about your videos though lol.
Lol he is by nature very quiet but thankfully he is a good sport. The videos are definitely more my thing than his.
Dudes a ray of sunshine
so what did you choose? your brain works like mine. I have so many different stains stocked up in my garage from working on projects and I can't decide which stain to go with. 😩
Your list of materials shows two 2 X 4s but Adam said 4 X 4s. Which is it? Also, how many feet are the posts? Thanks.
Adam was correct…they are 4x4’s 🙈
Ok great thanks! Love your videos!
Thank you for posting. My only concern would be that within a very short time and some rainy weather, the pole will become loose and start to pull away and tilt. Cement should have been poured into the hole to secure it.
Absolutely, you are correct. The only reason we didn’t pour cement with this one is because we are building a barndo about 2 acres behind where this is, and we will have to move it in a few months. Thank you so much for watching and leaving us a reply!
I’d be willing to bet it would last a while. I guess it depends on the soil and the weather, but he dug nice narrow hole. Lol
It's a stainless J hook. The Amish do use concrete. Dirt only cause it to lean inward after 2 washes.
Gunstock is cool
Nice. Love watching the videos. Keep them coming. :)
Came over from the barndo fb page. Love seeing yall get started! Giving me good flashbacks! haha Curious about the plan for the posts since you don't have footers?
Thank you so much! Those posts were concreted in yesterday, and our house posts will be anchored directly to the pad.
I grew up with clothes lines instead of dryers lol
I’m looking forward to putting up a clothesline great video new friend 😊

Love goats! Can't wait till we get ours again, but we still don't have our new property ready to handle them. They are my absolute favorite! Yours look very happy, thanks for sharing 😊
They are a pretty happy bunch! Thank you for the awesome feedback! And I agree...goats are special. I tell people often I'd pick Marie any day over even a dog. 😁💕
