Al, you shouldn’t drop those heavy boulders in the tractor bucket, you’re putting extreme instantaneous shock loads on the entire loader and hydraulic systems.
Was thinking the same thing.
Al, if I could make a suggestion. When loading large rocks in the bucket ,leave it on the ground. I am afraid you are going to blow a cylinder when dropping them in.
He's been reminded of this before, so I don't know why he still does it.
@@Tom-ei8ly.
His choice ha ha
Great haul on those potatoes Gina.
@@Tom-ei8lyif he listened to all the experts he would never get anything done nor would he have a channel with almost half million subs
@@genesnyder2985 358K is far from half million (they have only gained 15K subs in the past13 months), and if he doesn't want to listen to valid suggestions regarding keeping the bucket on the ground to not stress the hydraulics and the cylinders, then it will be his fault when it fails. It's a wonder that the TYM distributor hasn't reminded him of this.
Wood shed:
Build with the opening facing South. Less snow and rain , and maximize sun drying the wood.
Fantastic recommendation 👍🏻 we built ours this way (in northern Minnesota) and I have never had snow accumulation in the woodshed opening. It makes all the difference .😊
Have you decided NOT to build a big main house now?
@@patriciahazeltine9986they might’ve just changed how they plan to heat the next house
Does your prevaiing wind come from the north then ?
A little more planning is necessary with an estimated cost before you start building. That way, you save money and avoid costly mistakes.
MY FAVORITE NH OFF GRID TH-cam FAMILY! Good morning Lumnahs Al Gina Olivia and subscriber friends and family! I pray everyone has a blessed Tuesday and week ahead! God Bless. 😁👍🏼
Good morning, my friend CC Rider - Thank you and I wish you the same sentiment!
Good morning CC! 👍🏾🤩🐶
@@samvalentine3206Good Morning & Thank You Sam my friend
Good morning, CC. GOD BLESS YOU. GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU.❤❤❤
@@TheKamakuraGardenerGood Evening Robert my friend in Japan 😁👍🏼
Not good for the TYM to drop heavy rocks or heavy loads in the bucket while it is in the air. I believe a hydraulic hose can burst from the sudden back pressure. Easy enough to leave the bucket on the ground when filling it!
I am so sorry...y'all just can't get a break from this rain. I do hope you will be able to get it done before the snow flies. Gina, those are great looking potatoes. Nothing better than fresh potatoes, especially from your own garden patch. Love how the cows are supervising, they are like the picture in your kitchen. Thanks for sharing, having a Blessed day.
Good morning Al, Gina, Olivia and all the Lumnah friends and extended family. Wishing everyone a great week
Good morning, Robert!
You aren't leaving enough room for heating pipes from the heat master furnace going to your proposed new house. You can't get the excavator behind the unit and the stone wall.
Some of the shots with Gina in the garden with the cows, reminded me of your picture by the sink. ❤moo
Meatloaf; 1 pound ground chuck, 1/2 pound ground pork, 1/4 pound ground lamb, 1 cup dry oatmeal, Italian seasoning to taste, garlic cloves smashed and chopped to taste.
Form into loaf into a loaf pan with small red potatoes around the edge of pan pressed in the meat. Tomato sauce on top.
Put in 350*F oven untill the meat center temperature reaches 160*F.
Remove pan from oven on to a cooling rack for 30 minute rest.❤
You have so many large rocks/boulders that are part of your natural landscape. I wouldn't be surprised if you make your retaining wall as natural & with what you have available already!
You folks are amazing at what you build & how quickly it comes together. God bless!
May have to stick an extra hose in your puddle & syphon off the extra water so it dries off quicker.
Do ya think he's got enough rocks for a retaining wall 😂😂
@@ruthcasteel370 If I remember rightly, he had quite a long retaining wall of that type in his previous property.
Al why buy material for a retaining wall you have all that at your disposal.....ROCKS 🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨 All 100 Million Rocks on your property. I was telling the Martin guy in Comments New Hampshire is one of the rockiest states i ever drove Tractor Trailer in . Seems everyone in Upstate New Hampshire has rock 🪨 walls on their properties. Use your heavy 🪨 rocks and fill in cracks with dirt and when grass starts growing in the dirt nothing is moving that wall short of a major earthquake. Rock walls placed correctly look nice 👍🏼
@@CC-Rider4564 absolutely agree, use the rock resource on your own property. However al needs to purchase a medium size excavator with a thumb attachment. The bobcat is way too small.
Good Tuesday mornin Moose🐓Crossing .... can't you pump out that standing water .... asking for a friend🤣Have a nice day AL, Gina & Olivia .... take care🚜🪵🪵🪵✌🏻
Good morning Lumnah family from a cloudy Pacific Northwest. Good morning viewers. So you're building a wood shed near where the wood boiler is. Cool! Nice potatoes Gina. I think it's funny the cows like to watch you dig up potatoes. It was fun to watch you move the rocks out of the way with the mini-ex. I like the idea of a retaining wall behind the new wood shed. That was a good start on the corner of the retaining wall! Here is the rain! Yum, meatballs! It's nice to have a Gina cooking show again. My husband likes to brown his meatballs before he cooks them in the sauce. They are very filling. I'm glad you got the debris cleared from all the rain so that your spring box is filling again. Too bad the rain stopped the progress on the building of the woodshed. I'm glad you got a good start. Thanks for this video Lumnah family!
Good morning Al and Gina. ☀️ I'm glad you can schedule in the boiler/firewood project. Finally a project to use your surplus of rocks. 🥰
Great Day in the Morning 🌄 🙌 😊 ☺️ !!! Stay dry up there !!! Thank yall for posting all the Good and some times the bad .
I'm glad to see you go with your free resource of native rocks for your retaining wall.
And, as one TH-camr says: "It's a game plan, not a set plan." Sorry for the setback in your plan, but we all know, you'll "git'er done!"
Al thinking ahead might be wise to bury some conduit there to make getting hot water to cabin in future a lot easier
Gina! You have cows watching you in the garden and in the kitchen lol. Love your cow picture in the kitchen.
If you build your retaining wall with all those lovely rocks, you can have the most beautiful rock garden right close to the house. Plant it so you have something in bloom almost all year.
In the old place, Gina loved her rock garden so I hope they'll build retaining wall from these rocks too. It's not only stronger than masonry block or wood, it has more character and beauty and they have loads of the materials already.
New Project!! A great day! Gi'na's Parking Garage!!
Good morning I also have outside wood boiler and one thing I do is when I cut wood I stack it on pallets and then use my tractor to bring the wood to the wood shed that way I only handle it when I cut it and when I burn it😅.
Al will likely use a IBC Tote for storage of firewood in the Woodburner building, just remove when empty ( have 2 ) and replace with a full, easy-piesy !
I ❤ your channel. Wait for it to post. I have to say you gave very good ideas. Sometimes, though, you get in your own way!
Picking those rocks out with that excavator reminds me of little kids picking out the vegetables from their plates at meal time!!
You are getting very good with utilizing your boulders….and why not! A very valuable resource they are
Us the grapple to scoop out the larger rocks. The dirt will fall thru. Faster way to clear them out
Good morning from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Great idea about the woodshed. Make sure you leave yourself enough space behind the wood boiler. So you can work on it if you need to. 🇺🇸
I just love seeing Gina harvesting her potatoes while her audience looks on. I know all that rain has been a challenge, but all in all you guys have come a LOOOONG way.
So proud of you! 😊❤
Your picture in the kitchen seems like the whole gang has followed you back to the house! 😅😅😅
Down here in west central Georgia, we are having the opposite problem. Although we are generally rainy, we are having a horrid drought this year. I do hope and pray your rain events settle down.
Oh, and we do miss your blessings before the family meal. Hope to see those again!❤
I know its been said before but if you set the bucket of your loader on the ground it will reduce the shock loading of the large rocks being dropped in the bucket.
Its al’s way or the highway 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Totally get what you guys went through with all that rain!! My town and surrounding towns here in south western CT is destroyed with all that rain we got on Sunday! Over 14+ + inches!! A damn broke in the middle of the night on Sunday and completely washed away my friends barns of 100+ flock of chickens! Just gone....after hours of searching she found 1 hen's body. Her business gone, her inground pool gone, pool house gone, her solar panels all gone, farm equipment gone, trees uprooted and washed away, her 4 + acre of property now looks like a bulldozer completely leveled her property. Please pray for Cathy's House of Chickens and my other friends at Guardian Farms in Southbury, CT THANK YOU!!!
Sending prayers to your friends - that rain was something else. I have family in the area and they were OK, nothing like what happened to Cathy. 🙏
just south of you (Redding Ct) we only got 10 inches (in 8 hours?) but we are downstream and got the river flooding in places that haven't seen it since the great flood of 1955. Bridges and roads washed out and propane tanks floating down the street with the water. My basement will be drying out for a month!
Will do! I lived inBeacon Falls from 1960 to 1972(but spent 14 years total in the area) and know the terrain well. I called my best friend who lives in Cheshire, and she filled me in. Will be praying. Thats a hard loss to take!
@@rupe53 - My Dad told us of the 1955 flood - I was a newborn and he went to his parents house on the Silvermine River in Fairfield County - the house didn't flood, but the basement did. The fire department was coming around, pumping out people's basements - when they came to my grandparent's place, they didn't have to pump it out as the little existing pedestal sump pump (not waterproof) pumped the entire basement dry!
@@samvalentine3206 40 years ago our FD still did basement pumping but sadly too many abused the service (repeat customers) and manpower got thin for other priorities. BTW, you'd be amazed at how much water a small sump pump can move over the course of a day or so. The key is to stop it from coming in!
I love seeing all the rich black soil when you dig it up for projects
Great work the wall will be awesome! Glad you fixed the water issue !! All looking good guys!! Stay blessed all!!
Good morning, Eric - thanks and hope you and yours stay blessed as well!
@@samvalentine3206 good morning Sam!!
Good morning Lumnah family. Fire wood storage will be nice. Project after project. Always something going on. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed the video.
Good morning, Gene!
@@samvalentine3206 Good morning Sam.
Good morning y'all....Al, I definitely feel your pain. I remember when I was working on Roads doing asphalt. We had three hurricanes in one year. We couldn't get any work done.
Good Morning from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
AL good new project. Much needed
Would resting your bucket on the ground be better on your tractor bucket arms when dumping those big rocks into it?
Just saying.
Thanks for the video
Goood morning Al, Gina, and friends everywhere, from David in Omaha, NE. The rain needs to go away to where it is needed! Love the idea of the Firewood shed. It will be very nice. Gina's meatballs looked like they will be very tasty! I will have to make some now! 🤣 Have a great and blessed Tuesday, everyone!
Have a great day David! 👍🏾🤩🐶
@@TheKamakuraGardener Good Morning David.
Good morning, David - Thank you and wishing you the same!
Good morning David! I think so too, reminds me of the wood shed on the old homeplace! I was thinking maybe a french drain behind the shed, but Al could also fill in with gravel behind the rock wall. Have a great day too!
Goooooood Morning David. Yes plenty of areas need the rain.
Gina, I put a little bit of water in the empty sauce jar, shake a bit, to get all the sauce out.
also, I keep some latex type gloves, to wear while working the raw meat. That way it doesn’t get under your nails, quicker clean up, too.
That's what makes the user comments so helpful for the family and the viewers - I never thought of using a little water in the empty sauce jar to get 99% of the sauce out of the container. I try to get out the last bits with a small rubber spatula on a wooden handle. I will definitely try this next time... thank you!
Extend it more then 3 feet out front as when raining and you are loading it you don’t get wet !
The further extended out of the front' the higher cealing must be, cause when door is opened the smoke escapes !
Not disagreeing, just saying !
Hello from Rick and Laurie. We have been getting all that rain too. Today is another rainy day. Gina I do not think you need another pond especially so close to the house .😅. Enjoy those dry and sunny ☀️ days. I love seeing the cows in their new field. Stay well my friends.😊
Don’t build over or too close I’ve seen a couple of those go up in flames 🔥
Fyi. The bucket should be laying on the ground as you put those big rocks on😊
Good Day from Kamakura, Japan! 🇯🇵 Hello Lumnah Acres Family & Friends! Yes, now is the time to prepare for autumn and winter! 👍🏾🤩🐶

Good Evening Robert in Japan. I pray 🙏🏼 you have a blessed week my friend. 😁👍🏼
The rain seems to never end on the homestead lately. Gina, keep those meal prep and cooking segments coming, not that we don't love AL but we also really enjoy they diffrent meal ideas you bring. We love all the diversity at Lumnah Acres 👍
@brucevallee5623 ~ Plus, I get lots of ideas for dinners from Gina's cooking segments!
Balm of Gilead salve is great for stings and insect bites. Makes pain/itching and swelling go away almost immediately. I make it and we keep it in the house, the barn, the camper, the car and our truck.
Consider Adolfs Meat Tenderizer _ any brand, make paste and cover the bite, swelling reduces with pain gone, and if ever attacked for hundreds of stings can save life, likely without need for hospital visit, just remember to pull stingers !
With the excessive amount of Rocks , You should build the Retaining Wall with Rocks and Quickrete Thin Set Outdoor Masonary Morter
How about putting a sleeve in the ground so you don't have to move firewood and excavate when you expand the service of the boiler to The Big House?
Your operation of the back hoe is pretty impressive. You have done this a time or two! LOL. I was thinking about one but not sure I would have the use for one. Not that you asked, but some food for thought for you...I would suggest taking that hill back to the same place as the hill behind the building beside the boiler. It will give you more room for unloading, storage, make your job of building the rock retaining wall easier and keep water further away from the shed. I like the idea of using the natural rock. As for your shed, I would suggest bigger for more wood storage as that way you have it dry and sitting there. You could also put sides on the thing to keep snow out. I didn't realize you had a spring well - cool. Will have to look for that video. Good video!
Good morning everyone, Gina nice to see you in the garden and the kitchen giving tips. I also use the cookie scoop for all my cookies and cupcakes:) Im coming to the New England Homesteaders Conference praying g for sunshine and no rain:) Can't wait to ne back in New Hampshire.
Considering how rocky your land is, your soil looks pretty good. That grapple sure makes moving big rocks around a bit easier than doing it by hand!
Good morning, Al and Gina! You two are a blessing to me. It makes me happy to see young couples living their dream. I certainly enjoy my I Like It coffee.
Goooooood Morning Pam. Thank you glad you are enjoying the coffee. ☕️
Good morning, Pam!
Build a homestead they said, it will be fun they said. 🤨My grandparent's farm had a spring box...it's fun to watch you adapt and blend old and new technology.
Awesome idea for wood shed to be put there. It's helps to keep up the fire wood dry too. Keep up the great work.
After all this time, I'd say yay!! I knew from past talks about the WoodMizer, it was efficient, but 3-4 cords a year is outstanding! Love ya'll ❤️
Miss Gina, love the meatballs with stuffing for breadcrumbs and in the crockpot!!! Bet they’re delicious!!
Good morning Modern Steaders! Texas sure could use some of that rain. Oh, fun a new building project!
❤❤❤
Good morning!
You don't let anything slow you down. You keep a schedule. You run a tight ship. You do things right.
Your a good example. I appreciate that.

Good morning, Sam!
Good 🌄 morning to the Lumnah Family and all visitors to the OGP! May we receive the rain we need and the space between to de-sog so we can do our work!
I hope for good weather for you to get your end of summer chores done. I had a great weekend helping get ready and helping out at an antique radio swap meet. It was fun. My brother-in-law sold a bunch of old radio stuff so he was so happy! Now he has room in his box truck to move stuff out of his shop to work on the Subaru engine I want to drive back for my older son. Of course my sister's car radiator got a crack at the filling neck that's plastic so now she needs her radiator replaced. The saga never ends on repairs. We'll all be busy!
@StoneKathryn I have been cutting thistles, baby elm trees, lily foliage, and edging by the sidewalk. That's just this evening. This afternoon, I worked as a volunteer at the Open Cupboard, two thirty to five twenty.
I hope to go out to breakfast with a friend tomorrow. I plan on getting caught up with some of my chores this week. This with a head cold! Uff tah!
@@StoneKathryn How have you been?
Gooood morning off to another adventure,how sweet that is,have a bless day and evening😊🌻🌺🌼🇺🇲
I enjoy watching the plan come together, continue the quest .glad to be part of it.
About time Al. I suggested several years ago you build a wood storage & enclose the boiler. But I also suggested including room for a wood splitter. SERIOUSLY, 1 month supply ? You going to dry your firewood out under the snow again ? You're going to double (or more) the space you need to heat with your boiler. You're going to need double (or more) your firewood. Are you going through Jamaica again for your firewood shed ?
Larry; The way I understand Al, firewood for about a month there with main woodpile not extremely far off, covered with the billboard tarp !
Al is just setting it up that the girls can easily keep woodburner going, and he can resupply to months worth stockpile !
Gina, don’t forget a bay in the garage for Olivia she’ll be driving soon enough!
Olivia drove Gina learning earlier this year !
Just can't catch a break in the weather, it's the same over here in Scotland. Have you ever looked at getting something like an 8 or 10 foot tipping trailer for behind the TYM? Save tracking the Mini back and forth and cut down on amount of trips too and fro using the fore-end loader
Good morning, Lumnah Family and friends! Here's to a great day and week ahead!

Wow that’s a pretty efficient gasifier.A chord usually measures 4x4x8.Does the boiler require cleaning?

Good morning from Gatwick wishing everyone a great day 🎉❤
Good morning, Jim!
Thank you for sharing! Have a blessed day!
Here's a hint on making more tender meatballs. Soak your bread crumbs or stuffing in enough milk so it gets completely absorbed. It becomes a kind of pasty consistency. Then mix the crumbs and milk into the meat mixture. No hard meatballs.
Hello Al and Gina, tks for video. The rain is just not gonna give you a break Al. Gina meatballs look good. Much love to ya'll.....
My Swedish grandmother used to make her meatballs with leftover mashed potatoes (and whatever else you put in your meatballs), fried them, and made brown onion gravy with them! They were so soft and juicy!😊❤
Good morning. I have a friend that has a wood boiler and I helped him build a shed that covers it up and the smoke stack comes out the end. All his wood is under cover and dry. the walls are open and the roof is only a foot above the boiler. He loves it as he is always dry when filling the stove, takes his tractor and brings the wood in by the bucket load. Also the stove looks brand new as the rain never touches it.I have been bugging you guys about this for a year or two. Glad you are going ahead.I have NEVER saw so much rain - I should have built an ARK!! Ha ha ha!!
Yes ... from the comfort of my arm chair, ive been thinking they need some type of covering for the wood and a way to load the boiler under at least a little covering. However, again from my arm chair I made comments about some type of a place to cut wood and do some of the construction work other than the truck tail gate. Low and behold, a far bigger and nicer shop than I had thought up appeared. Well, Santa didn't bring that shop down the chimney but it went up pretty right and ready under the tutelage of one man, one woman, one kid, and some help.
Dig a temporary trench to drain the worksite, and then fill it in after you establish the final grade.
Al and Gina,like always it’s a great 👍 pleasure watching your guys videos and may the heavens rest with the rain 🌧️ so you can finish your wood stove project along the way before winter starts 😮😊❤
Great idea on building a wood shed and a place for your great smoker. Gina your meatballs and sauce look good. I can see why its Al's favorite meal. Tell Miss Olivia hi for me.❤😊
I've got to watch your older stuff so I can see your whole place. Love the cows. They are so pretty. Nice looking potatoes.
You have all those beautiful rocks on your land. I would use those for the retainer wall,just like the old timers did. Well I should have watched the whole video before I commented on it. I’m glad you are using the rocks but did you leave yourself enough room to work on your furnace ?
Gina- you need to plant some Calendula. You can rub the flower and I think the leaves (you should research) on the sting and it helps a lot! Takes the sting away. At least it did for me and for my grandson when he got some sort of bite! Check on it!
It's a good idea to clean that area way back away from your home and heater
Nice job guys !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️
Move the shed closer to the house so you can build a garage for Gina's car. If you move it within three feet of the house. Then Gina can park her car out of the rain and when she comes out of the house she's covered for the most part and just a short run to the garage
Good Morning Everybody from Enniskillen, Ireland.

@@samvalentine3206 Good Morning Sam.
The rock wall should be in line with the house wall. That would give you room for a splitter & room to store your mower etc. Also if you built your shed over the wood burner you would be free of the snow when loading it.
Agree' except for putting wood splitter near woodburner, it will be easier and more orderly to just use a set of IBC-Totes for the firewood, it doesn't take much to grab onto when restocking and keeps mess ( mice and snakes ) elsewhere, further away from house !
Good morning Al Gina and Olivia hope y'all have a blessed day together. Just wanted to let y'all know your a blessing to us in south Alabama
Don’t forget to leave room to open the wood boiler doors for maintenance. Don’t place the rock retaining wall too close to the boiler.
Al, I can’t help but think you should leave more space behind the wood boiler so you have space to work on it if you need to and the retaining wall is in your way. Better to have more work room, then trying to squeeze into a small area. You never know what might come up in the future.
Build the retaining wall with Rocks and outdoor Morter OR Concrete Cinder Blocks
Hey Al and Gina. I think that is an excellent idea what you are doing. If you could have the rain hold up awhile. 😅. Good video. 👍❤️
Good afternoon from Fly Ohio. Pleasant 70 degree day here. Great weed eating weather! We used to heat entirely with wood!
Remember: to allow 5 feet clearance behind your building.
Can't wait to see the wood shed built.
The wood shed and cover for the smoker and wood boiler seems like a great idea, remember fire safety.
YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR BUCKET ON THE GROUND WHEN LOADING ROCKS SO YOU DO NOT PUT EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE HYDRAULICS
Good morning family enjoy your day.💙❤🦋🎉👏☺👍
Good morning 😁 love watching you both, amazing work! Your place is a work of love. I noticed when you opened up the smoker door the smoke came out and went up. I hope when there is a roof over it that it doesn’t come out straight into your face, just. Thought. Also get rid of that water by jigging a small trench to divert it! Thanks for sharing you journey, love lol your animals too.
I would move the HeatMaster behind your current building and extend off your current roof to create your covered structure to keep all your outdoor necessities together, easy to get to and protected. Then, put Gina a covered parking area in the current area. Just suggests... Keep up the awesome job.
Don't think that roof can be extended considering Snow weight, but earth should be dug out all the way back to besides house, cause easiest to remove dirt moving it downhill to level, and houses need all the yard useable available !
As in just one straight rock wall !
You have rocks so a rock retaining wall makes the most sense. Make a ditch for water drainage behind and around the wood shed to keep water out.
Re: Retaining Wall ... obvious choice is rock. Fits in with landscape and is most cost-effective.
Al, I’ve been thinking for a while that you might need a dump trailer. I’ve seen a good one. Moritz is the manufacturer. Just a thought. I look forward to every one of your videos.
I see from the Manuel, that you will need a 24” clearance in front of the heater. And it also says to not store combustible fuel in the same space as the furnace, if indoors…be safe in
how you proceed…
