As for chicken to learn where they live, lock them up for two days in barn. "Just a few acres" does this every time they get new chicks out to pasture.
Being the pragmatist over the perfectionist makes life so much easier on home project, eh? At 70, I like to watch young folks working and forging their way in life, doing is the best teacher. Great work and work safe is a good motto in life.
Goats are master climbers and will find their way just with a tiny foothold. With their bus gone they'll look over the extra wood, and with the help of chickens, turkeys and dogs quietly build their airship to escape into the night. The party animals they are, they like to go to town from time to time.
Anyplace there's wood rubbing against metal or where the goats are walking on the wood for the chicken entrance etc., you should put some kind of lubricant on the wood .Using just enough to make it slippery but not to messy. Happy Trails from Eastern Canada to Western Canada 🇨🇦.
Hey guys, I like watching your videos. Lot's of hard work but the outcome will be rewarding for years to come. Beautiful scenic area! Just a little request here, would love to see more interactions between the animals. I noticed near the end of this video, the dog and the goat interacting with each other. I love animals and watching how they interact. In a couple of other of your videos I noticed the light colored goat rearing up to head butt the active dog. Now seems like they are getting along better. 👍👍😊😊
Katie that latch that you said you can unlatch through fencing / EVERYONE that little hole a the top is made to have a string attached and you drill a hole (through the framing) so that when you are inside the pen/cage/coop the string opens the latch and everyone I saw used just tied a washer to the string on the inside to pull the string and keep from being pulled out / the little hole at the top of the latch is there just for that reason
Katie, your smile says it all. You are happy because you enjoy doing different projects around the homestead. The sawdust on he floor is a great way to make it easier to clean the barn. Blessings to you and Greg.
You guys are really improving your homestead. Greg I never cease to be amazed at your creativity and ability to innovate. Katie...turning down an opportunity to go into town and eat and shop, wow, I knew I loved you!! What a lot of work for two absolutely persistent Goats..
I wouldn’t have even shown the goats where the door was, lol! 😂 The barn is coming along nicely, the roof looks SO much more finished with the metal trim and drip edge, and your yard looks so much bigger now that the bus is gone! Also, why is watching you guys run the chipper so relaxing? I know it’s hard work for you, but the time lapse and the chill music makes it so relaxing and enjoyable for us. 😂❤ Love you both!! ❤
I still say that would have been a wonderful guest house for me😂😂. It looks great!! Wiley coyote has nothing on those goats! They are clever!! Can’t wait to see the siding get done😎
Another terrific video!!! You guys have come a long way and your skill sets increase with each new episode. It seems you guys can tackle any project imaginable. I really enjoy your channel, and to paraphrase an old country song...."Country folks can survive!" Your off grid adventures are different, fresh and fun to watch. Wish you much success.
Next time you don't have the right size PVC pipe just get out a heat source like an electric heat gun and heat it till it gets soft. You can shrink or expand PVC pipe quite a bit. Works well when you don't have a coupler the right size just heat it up, put it on whatever thing you need and then let it cool then take it apart and then glue it. Lots of youtube video on it.
Great job! One thing I learned as a previous goat owner is that there are few deterrents that can keep a goat out of somewhere they want to get to or into. They are just very mischievous creatures
Love the roof on the barn looks great hopefully you'll find something permanent to keep those smart goats out I am sure you will. Love watching the video,s to see what the next project will be.
Fascia is the right word. You are moving forward, good luck. Run a string through a couple of eye screws over the top of the door if your worried about the door closing on you.
Looks like there is a plug pack on the chook door will allow you to connect it to a battery. There should be an output voltage on the plug pack which will most likely be 12 volt DC. That should run no probs directly on a battery.
The tunnel sounded like a better idea. You could have got some PVC About 6 to 8 inches across, put it in the chicken door and that way, only the chickens could go through it.
Hey guys! I've been away for awhile and have missed y'all so much!! Great video:) And my gosh, y'all've done so much. Everything looks amazing. And the animals!! I've missed them, too! Give em all little kisses for me! Love y'all so much:) and Take Care! 🖤💖, Lydiá
I’m new to your channel, I too love that off grid experience, I just on medical grounds , but hey I like what you guys are doing, and the word you were looking for ,was Flashing, well that’s what we call in here in Australia, great Vlog, cheers from Downunder ❤️🦘🦘🦘
Katie, your garden looks absolutely beautiful and I love how are you’ve planted flowers all around it just really looks Homie. I know you put a lot of work into caring for the animals as well as working like a complete 0G to get things squared away on the barn you’re very versatile and hard-working. I know we don’t see what your man does when he is at his paying job but he’s an OG as well for all the hours he puts in at his job as well as handling all the heavy work on the Homestead.. kudos to both of you☮️❤️👏
Hi Greg & Katie , Love your vloge's so please keep them up . This problem you are having with the goats going in through the chicken coupe door , why don't you use that jig that you just made with the white conduit and turn it on it's side and put it across the Hatch door . Surely they can't push though those size spaces that you have as the chickens will be able to get through very easierly ( SORRY ABOUT MY SPELLING ) . I think it might be worth a try .
I love your barn prototype, it’s cute and you’ll figure out the sneaky goat tricks and stop them, a barrier is probably your only answer, such as cattle panels! Katie, if you’ll research using sand under the roosts, you’ll find that it dries fast, is easily cleaned with a cat box scoop and you won’t experience the smell as much. I know that Cog Hill Farm and others are using this sand method and finding it works and can be dumped into your compost pile with just a bucket weekly. I hope that helps and saves you some time and supplies. So proud of you two, it’s a great project 99% completion and it really looks great ❤🎉👏
Greg and Katie I always enjoy watching you both are so adorable together and you really love each other Katie your smile says it all you are always happy with your adorable animals they are so adorable love you both this old granny 67 your videos all make my day take care outthere Rosa olbera
Hi Katie if you use vertical railings with spacing that the birds can pass through but too narrow for the goats it should solve the problem. Maybe turn the tube structure ninety degrees in front of the entrance and cut the length down so that it covers the entrance for the birds.Regards john.
Well…erm…WOW…just WOW…& I ain’t talking about Greg with his shirt off…thank you Katie…for showing us your skills 🤪😘 keep up the amazing work you both do 👏🏼
Check those tasks off the list K,& G! Looking good though. Teamwork makes the dream work. Can’t wait to see what y’all get up to next. Stay safe, healthy, happy, productive,& blessed.💯👏🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I just got on your videos, watching all I can. I have many questions but the main one is how are you staying so goregious. You two are someone too talk about . Still take care of yourselves.
You can put sand on the floor instead of woodchips, take an old wooden box and remove the bottom. Put chicken wire were the bottom was and you have a sif to sif the sand, only thing remaining in the sif is chicken poop
just a suggestion, make the chicken door smaller around than the goats torso. the chickens don't need a opening quite that large. I used a small dog, dog door that has a flap that swings both ways, shorten the length of the flap and drill holes in it so they can see out, it took a while for them to get used to it but, works great now, just have to worry about the pred. like foxes now! good luck to you, great job with the projects by the way!!!
Hey! Just a thought… put a 1” x1” vertical post centered at a the entrance to the “ horizontal ladder. Chickens can get by but maybe not the goats. Just a thought. lol
Hey Gang, Greg and Katie, since you're putting it out there, Katie, that bathing suit is WAY to big 🤣😂😆😅😆😁❤👄 God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family keep up the great work love U guys XOXOXO
I was thinking that the roundness and slickness of the PVC would make it harder for them to find footing, as well, but the depth makes sense because cattle grates work best with depth.
the bar ladder thing you mention is often called a cattle grid in the uk seemingly regardless of size but normally on roads to keep cows and horses within an enclosure without a gate. same principle though. good job looks like its workng well
❤Hello my dear friends ❤
soooooo much more yard with old yellow schoolie gone !!
Looks great!
@ 10:30 pays to stack that plywood on pieces of wood so edge of plywood does not draw moist from the ground
As for chicken to learn where they live, lock them up for two days in barn. "Just a few acres" does this every time they get new chicks out to pasture.
Yeah!! To Wednesday videos!

Nice Job guys!!

Barn looks great I love it nice job love u guys❤

So enjoy your channel! Appreciate that you don't edit out all the foibles, and you both have such a natural sense of humor.
Well done ❤️👍🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️👍🐐🐦🪿🐐🦃🐔🐣
Fun video... Katie rocks.
Greg rocks a goat impressions

Life is all about work, if you do not work, you will not get ahead of the cover.

Like the bathing suit

The chicken entrance can be a chute that reduces down to say 12" wide and say 14" tall, coming off the wall 2 to 3 feet, keeping the goats out.
Katie, your smile says it all. You are happy because you enjoy doing different projects around the homestead. The sawdust on he floor is a great way to make it easier to clean the barn. Blessings to you and Greg.

You two are sure very creative
The barn looks good, the goats are always in trouble, the work shop is looking good to Katie ❤️🇨🇦

Build is looking awesome!
You need to put up Goat fence small one inch square and fence them in for good.
Katie you and Greg are making some great improvements there

Looks great. Have you thought about when you put the gutters on to get a barrel to catch the rain water so you can water your goats and chickens
Fascia is the right word. You are moving forward, good luck. Run a string through a couple of eye screws over the top of the door if your worried about the door closing on you.
Good morning you guys hope you guys have a great day keep up the good work up the animals are going good so you guys have a great day❤😊
things are looking good, especially Katie ❤😊
She’s definitely an attractive woman, Gregg is a lucky man.
What happened to the bikini didn't see enough of it 😊
Looks like there is a plug pack on the chook door will allow you to connect it to a battery. There should be an output voltage on the plug pack which will most likely be 12 volt DC. That should run no probs directly on a battery.
That barn is the barn if all barns. It looks great and it's just as you planned. Weĺl done. 😊😊
Katie & Greg everything is looking great!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
The tunnel sounded like a better idea. You could have got some PVC About 6 to 8 inches across, put it in the chicken door and that way, only the chickens could go through it.
Your garden looks great!.... good job looking really good!
Just put a chicken sized door on the entrance to the chicken coupe that'll fix the goats from getting in the coupe 👍🏻 Your doing a great job folk's 👍🏻
Agree on the sawdust and glad to see everything is coming together with the barn. Great job you guy's are doing 👏
Hello from Flower Mound TX. You have such pretty flowers & plants .
put a wood gard on lach to keep you from getting hurt.

At about 35 minutes when you were in the barn. It sounded like the chicken in the background was laughing at you. 🤣
Hi Greg & Katie , Love your vloge's so please keep them up .

Your goat deterrent
Is a small version of a cattle gate.
Love the barn, the loft is just awesome, good work guys!

Beautiful Flowers
Very nice, coop/barn looks great, great video
On the pvc take a heat gun and heat the end and than drive it in
Awesome music by Phello! great sound choice's you guys! Love your video's
drill the hole just above the latch 1/4 to 1/2 inch is fine
Check those tasks off the list K,& G! Looking good though. Teamwork makes the dream work. Can’t wait to see what y’all get up to next. Stay safe, healthy, happy, productive,& blessed.💯👏🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Look forward to your videos. You are an awesome couple.
Great job you are two are fabulous well done. Michael. Ireland 🇮🇪
Hi been watching yous from the beginning,love your vlogs and your ways of doing things,👍🏴

Hi,you should slope the roof for chicken outlet so goats cant jump up on it.
One project at a times. Good job on this one
Love Katie's Rooster on the barn door.
Make the chicken entrance smaller and round so the goats don´t fit chickens can pass thru a small opening. Just nail an extra board on the inside!
Hey! Just a thought… put a 1” x1” vertical post centered at a the entrance to the “ horizontal ladder. Chickens can get by but maybe not the goats. Just a thought. lol
The problem is the turkeys are quite large, closer to the goat size 😅
Get goats they said, it’ll be fun😂. One minute you’re loving on them and the next you’re cursing them. We’re up to 20 so I feel your pain
Goats are smart animals. I k ow you will figure out how to keep them out of the chicken house. Good luck from NC.
katie just a little helper info stack up 3,4,5, boards what ever the depth your saw is use quick clamps measure your cut then cut all at once, 😃
Applying some heat also make PVC pretty malleable.
Hey Gang, Greg and Katie, since you're putting it out there, Katie, that bathing suit is WAY to big
🤣😂😆😅😆😁❤👄
God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family keep up the great work love U guys XOXOXO
I was thinking that the roundness and slickness of the PVC would make it harder for them to find footing, as well, but the depth makes sense because cattle grates work best with depth.
The metal edge is called “ coping”
You got gosted. They are very smart.
Very good job on your barn. Excellent I would say. Keep having fun but always Be safe
Great work on the barn - 5** luxury for all concerned, - when do you start back onto the house?
the bar ladder thing you mention is often called a cattle grid in the uk seemingly regardless of size but normally on roads to keep cows and horses within an enclosure without a gate. same principle though. good job looks like its workng well
