Cheap is good. Free is better.
Free is favorite !
Its Habit forming ! Cutting Expenses, Like cutting the cable TV off. Go free Tv. cut a 100 a month off here and there fine ways to saving on your electric . like a off and on switch on your hot water tanks SAVE YOU AT LESS 75 dollars a month. Those night street lights cost 35 dollars a month on electric for each one ~ CUT EM OFF. I had 6 of them. I went to motion lights. There so cool . They detect motion up to 30' away ! I got a few battery operated ones to! If the power goes off~ soon as i open a door, they turn on, and as i walk they turn on and off . SO COOL> Some one come up around my house at night > are SHOCKED by lights. i can tell if some one out there too. and shop for the best deals ! Keep up the good work 👍👍
Nice tips! When you turn your hot water tank back on to get ready to take a shower how long does it take to heat back up?
You will need a 220 to 240 volt switch. 15 min only 👍 i run it for 30 min and shut the hot water tank back down. or When i step out of the shower, that give me enough hot water to wash dishes with ect I quit using the dish washer! Cause it uses WAY TO MUCH WATER unless i'am really tire and a lot of dishes stacked up for help! You need to used the dish washer every now and then, to keep the seal soft and working
Make it a family thing show them how to use it. And to keep it turned off after uses. There no need for hot water 24/7 days a week only when needed. Rest of the time its waisted energy ==> JUST, JACKS UP YOUR ELECTRIC BILL > Big families might need a 220 volt timer on it > like on 7am off at 7pm ect when the showers and baths are over . >> I like the off and on switch. I show people that spend the night and time here how to use it
Wonderful use of materials on hand! Well done my friends ❤️🐣
Thank you 🤗
OMG i love River!! She loves your new gift to her! Great job John!!!
Shes the best. She deserves to be an inside cat. I feel bad that we won't let her in the house house.
It is good you started with a detailed plan and exact measurements, otherwise there might have been problems.
Yes this space is TEENY TINY and we had to be sure we could fit it. Getting it into position was pretty questionable.
Great 💡
Thank you !
I like the sliding door idea. I could see those cages being useful for several options. Good work.
Good idea except I would want a brooder that opens from the top rather than the sides because I'm sure it's quite chaotic trying to control them once the door opens to do any maintenance.
Lol at the crow off. Love the brooder, it’s a monster. The sliding doors were quite clever. Can’t wait to hear the announcement!
very clever
Thank you !
Dang...it's looks amazing for using all scrap material 👍💞😁
Great job! We are rethinking our Ohio brooder and may give this more thought. It's a nice space saver.
Yeah we will keep you posted on how it goes! There's only 9 chicks in there now but 30 silkies on the way for this week and 40 eggs in the incubator !
Have to say thats impressive. Love the slide doors. Believe you could build almost anything. Bravo
Thank you very much!
Nice build!!
I'm glad you like it
Love the crow off
Hah right? They were exchanging words.
You did great! I love it! I love using stuff just kicking around to make stuff like this. I’m thinking of doing a single bunny hutch similar to this. I like your design.
Yeah i bet this would be great for bunnies as long as there was also something solid to keep the poops from falling down onto the lower level.
It should work but need some thing to make the pellets roll off the cage under it Like roofing tin for each cage
Use roofing tin if you will make a catch pan for the bunny pellets, or use tin or HDPE sheet if you will install it at an angle sloped backwards for the bunny pellets to slide out the back, either into a trough, compost pile, or aquaponics setup to feed the fish (frequently you can get cheap HDPE cutting boards cheaper by sq ft than you can find plastics stores selling HDPE sheet… and you can check garage sales, dollar stores, or goodwill for even cheaper)…
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ great ideas! Thanks 👍🏻
Good job here John, Big thumbs up from us
Big thanks
FREE99! YES love it!
Favorite price!
You're so talented! Well done :)
Thank you!
Awesome job! Like the concept and the cat being in the video. Our barn cats, all 3 of them, follow me around EVERYWHERE! Video bombing. But they do add comedy sometimes. The BIGGEST announcement huh. Give out some clues?
Maybe some clues coming out in a short today :) and we need a few more barn cats for sure since this one is a slacker and wants to be an inside cat.
@@OldReddingFarm could be a slacker during the day but if the cat stays outdoors at night, especially Spring & Summer I bet that cat is a hunting machine.
🤣🤣🤣 the Roosters! Ha! This video is hilarious. Literally laughing out loud!
Hah yah those roosters were having some discussions for sure!
Beautiful cat, great video, nice build.
Thank you very much!
Great video, & hearing her giggle at the ended made it all wroth it. Great job to nothing always 💯 perfect. But, by you showing this in the coop you made. It truly helps people still. Also what to watch for when making or own. U still did great to!
and a year later, I would say make the doors slide both ways. The way the door is designed it is one door that slides to one side, if we were to go back we would make doors on both sides that slide either direction to make it easier to catch the little chicks :)
New stuff! I'm always up for new stuff. The Roosters were a hoot...uh, never mind; wrong bird. Anyway the brooder looks great and is cat approved; assuming that's a good thing😉👍
When you gotta stack your chickens, youuuuuuu might have too many chickens😂😂😂😂 jk no such thing as too many chickens😄
Hah no that might be true.
how do you clean?
the chips sit on a chicken feed bag, and you can just remove the feed bag with all the chips on it. have to take the chicks out to clean
Keep checking and waiting for the BIG news ! Lol. 😌 😅
