    You should purchase a ThermaCELL to get rid of mosquitoes and black flies, you can wear them on your belt or the bigger ones you can place where your working.

    I realize you're in a rocky gravely area but if possible get some dirt and create a mud pit for them water dirt nice mud pit they love to Waller in the mud which will help keep the mosquitoes off them. We raised pigs back in the sixties and '70s fortunately we had lots of black dirt with the rains they always had a nice mud pit to waller in. Pigs make great pets and of all things watch dogs. Keep the good videos coming I get a kick out of you too the way you act towards each other have a great day

    • @wildwoodoffgridalaska

    Hey guys. Ryan, you're so excited about that concrete. You bought 42 pallets per bag?! Poor piggies. Yo farmer Von, I think you're oiling them down to start getting them tender for your eating. You too are so cute sitting next to each other. How many tickets is that ride? Thanks for the ride. It was fun. Did you catch anything with your dip nets? Just today, I bought mosquito-repelling plants. They smell like citronella. Maybe you should get some and plant them around the pig pen. Honestly, you probably need 42 pallets per plant to keep the skeeters down. haha, Love you guys stay safe

    Your gonna have major problems later if the New addition is not square. Same measurment exactly from corner to corner. If it is square the middle posts can be determined with a stringline to the center. Leveling could be determined using a clear piece of tubing as long as Your corner to corner dimension fill with water about an inch from the ends. Get the bubbles out and plug the 2 ends off. Bring the 2 ends together and hold together side by side and mark the water level with a waterproof sharpie on both. That will be the level line when the water is up to both lines.

    Well, "White witch in a van" shows a girl in the thumb nail, wearing two pieces of cloth. (I did try to enlarge the picture as she is one good looking girl) Anyway since starting to watch homesteaders fix places to live, I have seen a lot of new channels for here in our alaska. No hot chicks in nearly birthday suits but I knew at seventy three, I was only going to see good hard working people do what I should of done. Back in about 2007 I think, I came across a old machine that had been used to pour the bunkers in San Francisco... they had canons setting on them to protect the folks doing what your doing in and around 1900 as this machine was made in 1893 but all steel so it was still sound. I put a Mercedes four cylinder diesel engine on it and it would mix about four or more yards at a time... its still setting on another persons property where it will die unless someone with a bit of skill sees its potential. It hooked to a hitch on a one ton truck as its fairly heavy and has large wheels on it. Would of been the ideal machine to pour floors in a small garage as large pours are a fairly hard thing to do ... a lot of challenges to doing this work. This is not a nice person as he is the one who stole my property when I got hurt. I am near seventy three so its not something I could rescue and fix for some different homesteaders. I can't help but still dream of those days when younger and life was so easy, even though what your doing will wear you out each day... its very doable an just our skeeters make it harder. Good luck as usual with this build.... a side note, I used to use old engine oil mixed with diesel to coat my pigs... they turned black on their hides but bugs died on contact.... your two oinkers "Inky and Pinky" loved the attention/lol
