Greetings, I am so glad that your awesome channel has come so far. It seems like only yesterday when you were at 5000 subscribers and looking forward to getting 10,000 subscribers. Now you are approaching 350,000 and your channel continues to be one of the best on modern homesteading. Thanks to all of you for providing such great information. Be blessed, stay safe. God bless America...
Pays to stay active as one ages. I'm 71, still work a 40 hour week as a fleet mechanic, and have just about completed my 24x32-10 stick framed workshop. I did everything myself, but sheath and shingle the roof, but it's an 8/12 pitch with both scissor and attic trusses
It's funny how a building shrinks and grows during construction lol. I LOVE THE RED DOOR!!! The overall building color scheme is PERFECT!!! Beautiful JOB ALL!!! God Bless.
Hi all. Your project is moving forward at a snail’s pace. Guess that is to be expected with moving camera around and Ken’s drive for perfection. A couple questions. 1 rainwater collection cistern system in the plan? 2 lower ceiling over shop area too lessen volume to heat? 3 plans for ventilation and installation? Both walls and ceiling? 4 electrical equipment storage room? Ventilation? Nice to see Gina back in videos. 0:12 Good luck.
It is looking brilliant…Ken and his guys are excellent at what they do nit that I am taking any of the credits away from you Al you have done your fair share of the work on this project and as usual you are a perfectionist…
When I was working on construction during my summers growing up in Saskatchewan, we almost always said when a roofing job was completed with the last shingle or sheet, "This is the one that we were looking for!" Your job make brought back a nice memory. Thank you for all the videos that you are showing.
Good morning Al, Gina, Olivia and all your fur friends it is so good to see your workshop exteror almost completed. Looking forward to watching you finish the inside. Your old workshop was awesome!! God bless your weekend with some down time!
The workshop is looking sharp. Notice how water doesn't pool around the building -- nice drainage. I remember that the floor has water radiant heat. Looking forward to how you handle the insulation against that cold metal outside. It's all looking good.
Its odd how a space seems to shrink on a concrete pad-foundation once the walls and roof go on even though not much changed. Indeed when the drywall goes up a room often feels far smaller and even more so when furnishings go in feels like half its size is often why homes being sold are nearly emptied out..👾
Hi Al & Gina. Amazing how you all know what you need to do & blend in so well the roof looks fantastic & the building looks so industrial. Well done. Take care happy family.
Yup, those kickers were exactly what you needed for extra snow load and gable blow out in high winds. Excellent work kids. Depending on prevailing winds in the area, tying the interior walls into the foot of the trusses with a few additional cables w/saddle clamps, like every 4 trusses, are a good supplement to the hurricane bracing~
I helped my sister run a 40 doe goat dairy & we always kept pigs to utilize the milk that didn’t pass the bacteria levels for the co-op. We soaked their pig food with the milk & they always went crazy for it. Found your channel from Jason’s Shoptalk channel
You are reminding me of when we built our sheet metal shop. It was so exciting to be near the end and we would be able to move the tools and equipment inside. I do miss those days about 35 years ago. Love from NC
Al, you are a gifted craftsman! Take a victory lap for the shop design and execution. Just hope I can plan projects as well as you always do! Keep the red door!!
Al not sure if u planning on putting a ceiling in your shop but I've seen some videos from R and R buildings TH-cam where he's installed that black metal roofing on the ceiling and it looks awesome 🙂
Al, I enjoy watching you work with Ken and his crew, you all work like a well-oiled machine together. Watching you guys work together is the next best thing, to working on a job site with the guys...retirement is boring as hell need something to keep my mind occupied!! lol
Gooood morning Al, Gina, Olivia and the whole gang! I hope everyone is staying cool and hydrated in the heat! Weekend forecast here in NW FL panhandle is a high of 101*f for today and 102*f for tomorrow. I hope everyone has a blessed weekend!!
Hi Max, 71 d F here in western Massachusetts and fog is burning off. Hi around 78 I think. I couldn't stand your hot weather! I hope the storms down there next week go around you! :-)
So funny about the pigs and chickens with milk. Our experience is the opposite -- the pigs love the milk but the chickens don't. Since we don't always have pigs but always have extra milk, I found a way to use it for the chickens. I heat it up on the stove until hot and add vinegar until it makes curds. My chickens LOVE those curds! Maybe that would work for the pigs? Another tip if you decide to try this -- make sure to portion the curds so that they don't freeze up into a solid mass this winter, lol. We're in Maine and, as you know, those blocks of curds stay frozen until SPRING!
Good morning, Al & Gina. Nice progress on the workshop, and I am glad the metal roof is finished without any problems. I noticed that the roof doesn't have the snow and ice bars installed to prevent avalanches. I highly recommend them for safety. I can't wait for next episode.
I was surprised that you didn’t add any translucent panels in the gable ends or on the roof to allow ambient light inside. Thought you might have learned from your wooden animal barn experience. Wishing you and your family a blessed weekend filled with seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother
Good morning Al, Gina and Olivia. It is so great to see the completion coming to an end and we can all smile for a job well done. Isn’t it amazing though, pigs will eat just about anything. Gina you look so happy this morning, I’m sure you are happy that Al, Ken and his son are finally going to be OFF THAT SCARY ROOF!
Good Morning Lumnah family and friends. 🤗 Such a joy to see the big smiles on Al's face as the work shop is becoming a reality. 🥰 Take care Al, Gina and Olivia. God Bless 🙏
Gooooood Morning LUMNAH family.....That workshop is looking fantastic......Great job AL and GINA and KEN and the boys....PATS lost last nite......Oh well....
Looking great Al, if the next project is the Root Cellar I would dig a hole deep enough to put a shipping Container down it cover it in Concrete then back fill the soil it will double up as shelter in case of bad storms.
Awesome day!! Thanks guys! Can't wait to see ya again....looks like you're getting the rain I need down here in NC!! Man...that metal roofing is slick as glass when it's wet!! Tanks for taking us along! Josh
❤Good Day Gina,Al🌞 Maybe the pigs don't like the milk so much, because it's to Hot & not solid food.They know whats Good for them! Maybe they,more Protein, Natural Cholesterol!👍👌🤞✌️🙏🙌🇺🇸🌟🌞
Good morning AL and GINA. Thank you. GOD BLESS YOU. YOU'RE DOING A FABULOUS JOB. IT IS GETTING DONE QUICKLY. LOVE SEEING THE ANIMALS. MISS THE GOATS.. LOVE AND PRAYERS FROM SE MICHIGAN GREAT LAKE'S STATE GREETINGS 🏝️☕☕🐠🐟🙏✝️🀄🛐🌻😊☀️🍒🪴⭐👍
Like the shirt Al, got one myself, but did you get a size smaller than what you usually wear? Looking a bit buff. Buff in like your working out in a gym. (As if you dont have enough to do in the homestead.) Or maybe it the 40X40 build? Or maybe its all that good down home cooking Gina is coming up with. What ever, its a joy watching you guys. ❤
Good morning Al and Gina. We had the storm of the century on Thursday night. Very heavy rain, thunder , lighting and 80 mph winds. Many trees down including some really old Oaks. 4 radio towers even came down. It;s always good to see the roof on. Have a great weekend.
If the pigs don't like raw milk, you can try giving them fermented milk: put the raw milk in some jars or pots, leave it like that for 2-3 days at room temperature, take the cream that separates on top (you also can give the cream to the pigs but I think the cream is too good for you to give it to the pigs :)) and give the rest to the pigs - it might be that they will love the milk in this form.
Yes I was thinking that too. Used to be that every small dairy farm had pigs too, to drink the leftover milk after the cream was seperated from it. They say the bacon from the pigs was the best..
I am completing a project putting up a handrail on our front precast steps. I had to get some bits for drilling concrete using a hammer drill. Would anyone like to venture a guess as to which drill bits I ended up buying at one of our tool stores in Calgary? . . . The answer is . . . Milwaukee! (By the way, our precast steps are over 50 years old. Using water with the proper tools, the concrete drilled almost like going through cheese. . . . almost. 😊 )
Did you buy carbide drill bits or diamond 💎 tip ? The Carbide are great with water but Diamond 💎 tip are better. No water 💦 required with diamond tip Bits and Blades but they’re a lot more expensive.
I bought the Milwaukee 48-20-9021 Shockwave Impact Duty 3/8" Carbide Hammer Drill Bit for concrete. I am not a contractor. The clerk made sure that I was buying the proper bit.
@@rdyardie I was thinking masonry bit but maybe the diamond tip bit works well for drilling concrete too. I had to rent a hammer drill and use masonry bits to hang my drape rods up in an apartment I rented. It was an old apartment and the walls were very hard to drill into. I'm glad you could put up rails for your steps. Have a great weekend.
Good morning Lumnah Acres ❤. Congratulations Yall, you are getting very close to having the building dried in. Everyone remember to smash the like button for the hardest working channel on U Tube love y'all 💯❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍😉
Looking good, that’s a fine looking building. Have you considered adding fans to the gable end without doors? It might help with moisture and give you a nice breeze by the garage doors in the summer.
Try soaking a scoop of feed in a couple cups of milk and see if the pigs will eat it that way. If they don’t like it it is only one scoop instead of a whole bucket full & chickens will eat it so no waste. Is strange your pigs don’t go for the milk. They usually will drink it up then eat the feed that was in the milk. If the milk is souring they may not like that. Shop is coming along nicely. Ken and his crew always do an excellent job on all their projects. Ken is 70 years old, in great shape and still climbing ladders & roof stringers like he’s walking on solid ground.
Very close now! I can envision all the plans you and Gina have for the enterior of this garage and how much it will benefit your homestead. Nice job guys!
Good morning Lumnah family from a beautiful day in Minnesota. Good morning to viewers too. It's nice to see the bracing between the trusses. Too bad the DeWalt just stopped working. Good thing Ken can use the Milwaukee. Only 4 more sheets each side! This is so exciting! I liked Gina's whoo woo! Ken is amazing on that roof! I'm so glad the roof metal spacing worked out perfect! The shots from inside are nice. That looks soooo good! Ridge cap on too! Moving on to soffits. Putting j-track up on the rakes. Cool, Ken gets to use that DeWalt roofing nail gun! So many toys Al! Covering the gable ends you said the magic word Al, "Perfect!" You and Ken make a good team finishing the gable end. Chad and Dan did a great job finishing that corner and getting the corner on. They also did a great job getting the j-track on and getting the soffit pieces on and more cut too. Great progress guys! Thanks for this video Lumnah family!

I was thinking that you might like a skylight but this is a soon to be well insulated space and it's easier to put in a light and not mess with it. I was also thinking the big guy in the dayglow t-shirt might be Ken's mini-me🤣🤔and you were going to foam in insulate because it is fast and becomes structural reinforcement too. 👍
Looking great and it's amazing how quick the build is going. 40+ years ago I took some stain glass classes in winter park fl. I always wanted a barn to install a window into... our own quilt design/colors. Have a great day!
Goooood moooorrrnnning Al Gina and Olivia fellow Viewers and all my friends hoodie from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Boy things really moving forward here. Love it. Some birdy told me Some other project on the way😊😊😊😊😊
Hey there, Lloyd! Back from Long Island, eh? Hope you had a good visit. Maybe next time we can have a coffee together or something if the stars align... later Bro!
Justin Rhodes gives them the skim after the cream is separated. I think he mixes it with something. I’ve seen other people give a little oat meal. Maybe that mixed with the skim they will like. Just a suggestion that I’ve seen others do. I’m so glad you have Ken and his team helping you. It’s going up so fast and it really helps you get things done before winter starts. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hope somebody sponsors a few Milwaukee nailers for Ken’s crew.
Metabo/Hitachi has a good one too, that's way less bulky!
I hope so too.
i will keep my dewalt
They run about $395. Not cheap
For sure!

looks like there's room for a loft all the way around
We mixed pig grain with alittle bit of milk at first. Ours wouldn't drink it either. Soaking it helps. It's their #1 favorite now.
Really starting to look nice, zero maintenance too.
Everything is looking great! Stay safe and careful! Excited for you!
Blessings
Happy weekend to all in the Lumnah universe
Thank you Juergen, a Happy weekend to you and yours as well!

When this is all said and done. I would love to see a timelapse of the entire build in one video!!!!
When you're helping with building does that help with the cost of how much you're paying with your little bit of help.

Hey Ken, you guys should blow off the roof or sweep the roof. Those metal shavings from drilling screws will rust. Just saying.
Morning y’all. I love watching you build.

Looking good, that’s a fine looking building. Have you considered adding fans to the gable end without doors? It might help with moisture and give you a nice breeze by the garage doors in the summer.
Moisture will not be a problem as the roof & walls will be spray foamed.

Good morning. Lots to do in there. Electrical heating. Car lift. 😊
It’s getting closer every day
Very close now! I can envision all the plans you and Gina have for the enterior of this garage and how much it will benefit your homestead. Nice job guys!
Good morning Lumnah family from a beautiful day in Minnesota. Good morning to viewers too. It's nice to see the bracing between the trusses. Too bad the DeWalt just stopped working. Good thing Ken can use the Milwaukee. Only 4 more sheets each side! This is so exciting! I liked Gina's whoo woo! Ken is amazing on that roof! I'm so glad the roof metal spacing worked out perfect! The shots from inside are nice. That looks soooo good! Ridge cap on too! Moving on to soffits. Putting j-track up on the rakes. Cool, Ken gets to use that DeWalt roofing nail gun! So many toys Al! Covering the gable ends you said the magic word Al, "Perfect!" You and Ken make a good team finishing the gable end. Chad and Dan did a great job finishing that corner and getting the corner on. They also did a great job getting the j-track on and getting the soffit pieces on and more cut too. Great progress guys! Thanks for this video Lumnah family!
Good Morning Kathryn, is it cooler today?
@@tonygrimes13 Yes, high of 73F!

MY FAVORITE NH OFF GRID TH-cam FAMILY! Goood Morrrning Lumnahs AL Gina, Olivia and Good Morning to my subscriber friends. I pray 🙏🏼everyone has a Blessed weekend and week Ahead!

Good Morning CC.
I was thinking that you might like a skylight but this is a soon to be well insulated space and it's easier to put in a light and not mess with it. I was also thinking the big guy in the dayglow t-shirt might be Ken's mini-me🤣🤔and you were going to foam in insulate because it is fast and becomes structural reinforcement too. 👍
Good morning you all. How's everything going today. It's looking awesome indeed. Keep up the great work you guys.
Goooooooood morning Lumnahs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Howdy Ray!

Looking so great.....Many blessing.
Looking great and it's amazing how quick the build is going.
40+ years ago I took some stain glass classes in winter park fl. I always wanted a barn to install a window into... our own quilt design/colors.
Have a great day!
This workshop will be nice to work in with heat in the Winter!
That's a beautiful building.
Good morning from Sweden!
Gooooood Morning Sweden 🇸🇪

Gooooood Morning Lloyd
Hey there, Lloyd! Back from Long Island, eh? Hope you had a good visit. Maybe next time we can have a coffee together or something if the stars align... later Bro!
Justin Rhodes gives them the skim after the cream is separated. I think he mixes it with something. I’ve seen other people give a little oat meal. Maybe that mixed with the skim they will like. Just a suggestion that I’ve seen others do. I’m so glad you have Ken and his team helping you. It’s going up so fast and it really helps you get things done before winter starts. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
