Hi Becky! Thank you for posting the giveaway. I won and my husband and I are so excited to get it! We never thought we'd win and are so thankful for you posting about the haven tunnel. 🙂
@@abbya1995 Hi Abby, congratulations! I'm so excited for you!!! That is awesome!
Hiya, in this vid you said it was easy to handle the rodent problem. Do you have a vid how you did it or can you tell me how? I got mice and squirrels popping into my green house and eating my greens. Usually, the mice would burrow under the greenhouse and sometimes those squirrels would use those tunnels.
@@wumao6797 You need the right traps and a cat. It’s the combo of both the does the trick. We don’t even have a cat but our neighbors barn cat makes its way over every winter when the rodent population is high.
I can not get over how fantastic this video is. We installed a big greenhouse for my Mum, it was her lifelong dream. However, it is tiny compared to yours😂. And installing wasn't as harmonious as what I can see from your footage (it was pure frustration 😂) Showing there are always better ways, even if the challenge is bigger, yours was huge, like the tunnel. Your children are already handier than me 😂 beautiful family❤
I hope millions see this video and understand how much work goes into growing the food we eat. Farmers will never get enough recognition for the hard work we put in daily! Appreciate you and this video!
Yeah because you understand better than anybody. In fact, no one knows anything at unless you tell them.
I agree.
When your daughter stops wearing that watermelon hat, I’m gonna cry. Your children are amazing.
A high Tunnel, it means more content for us, can't be more happy, I wish you guys all the best
Beautiful Marriage...Children...Family....Home...Life....We ( Admire ) You Both... Your Hard Work and the Integrity you share with us....Your Children Are Blessed to Have you as Parents...
Enjoyed watching the entire family take part in building the greenhouse 👍👍 makes everything worth it in the end.
The bloopers were the cherry on top of a great video! I couldn't stop laughing through them.
I really love that your husband and kids seem to really enjoy helping you with the high tunnel.
Hardworking, intelligent, talented family, admire you!
Cams dedication to you and the kids brings tears to my eyes. That's so many hours of work!
Your commitment to growing food is remarkable and incredibly inspiring. What a huge asset the high tunnel will be to your homestead.
Loved this video. I am a new mom to a 4 month old boy and dealing with severe PPA/D. I feel like I will never have my productive old life back. Seeing this video, seeing you working with your kids and your little guy conked out while you work gives me so much hope. Thank you!
Sending you love. You are not alone, even if it feels so isolated. I hope you will find your new balance soon and that you know that you are enough.
I’m sorry you are going through that. It will get better with time. Hang in there.
Morning sunshine worked for me. Hope it helps.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but it was a masterful feat, today they posted how to assemble it on their website, guess who I gave priority to watching? hahahaha🤟🏽🏴☠️
Wow! Becky, some women go wild over jewelry or designer clothes. You look so elated about that tunnel. Loved this video for all the reasons I always love your videos. You and Cam are so funny! I see where the kids get it. Loved all the kids working with you and Cam teaching Noelle how to do tasks normally taught to boys. Riggs is getting so big already! Congratulations on your tunnel. This acquisition may also help with your winter doldrums by allowing you to continue doing what you love year round.
So beautiful! I live in the Netherlands and we don’t have so much land. I like this so much. So nice how everyone is helping.
I'm so happy for your family ❤❤
Beautiful family. Your baby is Uber adorable! Best wishes for a healthy and happy homestead. ❤
You should install some area near the ceiling for the chicken to hang out. The highest place is the warmest place as heat rises. It would also help the chicken survive if some predator animal made it inside the tent, but cannot climb or fly to go after the chicken. All it takes is some long wood planks across the tent installed next to one another until you got a ceiling floor, for the chicken. And you got a nice work crew there, by the way:)
Looks great. We’re still looking for a good and affordable land we can move into to fully embrace homesteading.
I live on almost an acre but I'm wanting to move into something larger so bad because there are several issues with this property including some issues with neighbors, heavy traffic, etc. But Interest rates are so astronomical because our dumbass governemt- & I'll just leave it at that... but yea smh. It would cost us an additional $500 per month for a 30 year loan, to get a house the SAME cost as ours... 😔
@@ElderandOakFarm
FYI. Interest rates are high globally for many reasons, the US is performing better than most G7 countries because of your current Administration. I know it feels bad but it could be worse.
Cheers. Lynda 🇦🇺
@@lyndad1255hogwash! I just had a meeting with my financial advisor. It's because the Gov keeps printing money which allows for more spending. My investment account tanked in 2021. It's just a repeat of what happened when Obama was in office. If you print money there will be inflation. The housing market was about to bust again because of the home buying frenzy created by COVID.
This was super informative! We love your families enthusiasm in doing garden projects! Cam is so funny, I love his sense of humor and fun! The baby sure is getting big, loved his smiling face and him peeking out of the high tunnel! Great video as ALWAYS!!
Becky, your husband is such a goof! Love it!
It looks fabulous!! I have never been so happy for you all ❤️ Just today I was thinking...Oh, yay. Saturday is coming and we get to see the "secret" build you all we're doing. What a fantastic surprise to get it today 😁
Now I have to go watch again 😂❤️
That baby sleepn' good! 😂
Watching your family work together all of the time is so beautiful ♥️
That’s awesome! 👏🏻 I love to watch you guys tackle big projects as a family! Very inspiring! I want a tunnel! It’s going to have to be a small one in my backyard! 😅
It was great to see this process start to finish, and the bloopers at the end? Chef’s kiss.
Oh man, so awesome!!!
I hope people appreciate their hard work together!!
I would ...LOVE.... to garden like this...
Your family definitely know how to work together. Great job teach the kids core values.
Get yourself an impact driver brother ...you deserve it...treat yourself !! Lol
I love that that's how we hard working men "treat" ourselves... with more tools to work better
I love how all the bloopers has Cam in them. 😂
I enjoy your videos so much! It truly is an inspiration and I have learned a lot from you. Thank you.
HI, FAMILY!!!
I think you won a fan from Portugal!!!
Your hubby is so funny 😂
What a great addition! Those tunnels are awesome! I love to see how involved the children are, so great to see all the teaching, that you both do, along with projects! Great job everyone! 😊 I'm sure you'll grow an abundance of food for your family. Enjoy!
Your homestead is beautiful! Thank you so much for teaching us the how of it all. It looks overwhelming to me until you show how you do it. Still a lot of incredible work. 😊
Still overwhelming at times for sure. More manageable when everyone is pitching in! 😎
You should put a piece of 90-degree metal over the hole where you put the string just so that water doesn't really get into it that much so that it doesn't cause any issues with water getting into that pipe to freeze
Your family's hard work looks great. Thank you for the fantastic video.
Put a big bolt from the hardware store inside that swedged end of the anchor pipe. Then when you hit it with the hammer it wont bend out of shape. We watched this whole instructable then commented to each other that we wanted to watch it again just for enjoying being with you and your family.
That is a great option for the pipe. We looked for similar solutions after it was too late 😬 I believe the kit now comes a ground post driver which would resolve that problem. Glad you are enjoying the videos :)
The chicken idea is worth the thumbs up alone!!
Great information!!
Well done! I’m so impressed. Beautiful tunnel and great video.
Thank you! 💛
Holy moly!! You are one of the hardest working families on TH-cam!! You made that look easy but I’d be crying by the end of the first day lol
Terrific family project! 💪😊
SOOOOO Exciting!It looks great and I ADORE that you and your whole family worked together AND had some fun together, too!
So exciting! What a great addition to your homestead.
I am so impressed with the job you did!!! Great job. You will need to make very few trips to the to the grocery store. WooHoo!!! Cannot wait to follow your journey. Blessings and prayers for you and your family.
I had a really great garden going outside this spring - first time in 3 years. I was so excited. BUT... we had heavy rains that just pounded the garden and now the high heat hit in late May. Many of my plants just freaked out and lots of them are now bolting. Goodbye summer garden! It's been just hopeless to grow vegetables here in deep south Mississippi for us for the last 10 years. The intense heat - the plants just can't take it. Rain, bugs, drought.. it's all extreme and we are looking into building a high tunnel. Unfortunately, we are not wealthy enough to afford these really expensive high tunnels. I don't know what we're going to do.
Watching your whole family build your high tunnel made me smile, and admire what great people all of you are. Thanks for sharing all of your hard work and knowledge with us on this project!
What a huge project! Well done!
Love that watermelon hat!! I so want one!! 💗
Hi from Japan. Your garden is just beautiful. Much more beautiful is your FAMILY. Keep growing food all year. Keep growing your family ties all your lives.
Wow, so much assembly and working out
You guys never stop amazing me as a family, love love what you all do, just a fabulous video.
Beautiful!! I love that everyone is helping to get your dream come true!! God bless your family! 🥰
It's not just water that's in the rain. This was so good, thank you for the video.
You and TH-cam Family are my favorite TH-camrs… but I really wish you would put out more videos… just cause i enjoy watching and learning:) Thank you!
Just melts my heart when you all work as a family! Love your channel. Only TH-cam channel I watch every video from!
So wonderful!! Glad our videos add some joy to your life!
May Father bless you with all you need. Love your channel. I love your family silliness.
That last shot 24:30 did it for me... the love and care that you put into each plant... that hit home for me. We live on a third floor walkup with very little room for gardening, but where I can, I do.
Living the dream.
Oh wow, that really is going to be a game changer for you! It really is nice to see you all working together. Thanks for sharing it with us. ♥
Great to see your kids helping out
I am so excited to see what you do with this space. Thank you for your videos, I love how y’all document the various seasons.
Becky so excited for y’all. Looks amazing. Many Winter blessings to y’all.
Thank you, Doug!
You give it to us straight, and as unfiltered as you can)
It's too bad YT is not allowing more facts to be told; but my husband and I listen to every podcast you create. And..we always come away with good solid information)
Thank you Doug & Stacey ❤
It’s fantastic!! Y’all put in so much work.
I am so impressed and inspired by the work y'all did in putting the high tunnel up.
You have inspired me to expand my vegetable and herb garden. Thank you!
WOW - A lot of dedicated work to get it built abd wonderful to see all the family working together~just Amazing! Baby Riggs is adorable💙
That's very exciting, I'm excited fro you and all the additional growing you'll be able to do!
Thank you all so much for sharing. I have learnt so much practical stuff but family and perseverance
This is so cool! I love seeing everyone helping put it together! Super excited to see y’all grow in there too! ❤
Okay this looked like so much work I couldn't believe it. And I am impressed at Cam's know-how but more impressed that each kiddo worked alongside doing very helpful things! Great job all. It's beautiful! Going to completely be worth it!
Holy moly! This is a TON of work! You guys are so inspiring! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You guys are goals!! I’m so impressed!! Great job and congrats on the new high tunnel!
Take a garden hose out there and soak where a post is suppose to go, then when u go to drive the post lay the hose next to the post, easy way to drive ground rods
I have been binging on your channel to get caught up to the present. You and your family are such hard workers! I can appreciate the humor y’all still carry through working. A freeze dryer is on my wishlist!🤞🏻
I had already guessed that you would get a larger one. Use the small one for your herbs and the big one for larger freeze drying.
That was very interesting how you made the beds. I love the mulch walkways. Can’t wait to see what all you grow.
What a huge accomplishment for your family and wonderful to see the entire family working on it together. Good luck with your plants this fall and have fun next spring with the seed starting area!
Great job 😊
That is a nice greenhouse. 52 years ago, I worked for IBG building fiberglass and steel greenhouses. The structure and controlled weather was state of the art. Yours does the same thing as a hundred thousand dollar greenhouse. You guys are awesome.
this was so satisfying to watch :D i wish you and your family a abundant winter, love from Brazil
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Absolutely wonderful!! Looks amazing! Y'all did a great job! Happy winter growing folks. God Bless 😊
You guys are amazing!!
Great family efforts!! 👏👏👏
I enjoyed watching the whole family work together. I learned a lot. I was going to buy a Harbor freight greenhouse. You have me rethinking that decision. Thank you so much for the information.
That's great that you were able to build the greenhouse yourself! Good job!
So envious of all the other TH-camrs/farmers/homesteaders getting all these high tunnels! 😫 I wish I could afford one sooo bad!
Check the USDA high tunnel initiative in your state
@@lynnlovessoilI second this!
I love this video showing everything. I would have to hire someone to put this up for me. You, your husband, and kids have done a masterful job 😊. Thank you for sharing
Watching you and your all in family is my happy time. ❤
You are so kind
What an awesome high tunnel. I can't wait to see what you grow.
The bond of a family is really important.
Thank you for the heart. I always watch your videos after my teaching job.
Wow how good is Cam building that , and you and the kids of course 😊, it's going to be awesome for your veg growing ,can't wait to see your harvests from it ,I have high tunnel envy ,if only I had the space to have one.
Enyojable to se all family work as a team, gives the children purpose and goals in life.
Thanx for sharing.
A great, awesome video, its always great to see a family all muck in and help. Thank you for sharing your day
Beautiful family!! Good job!
Great video y’all
Being able to grow food all year round is a game changer. We live in growzone 10b so that’s what we do. It enables us to grow enough food for 5 people on a 4k square feet raised bed garden and a 3.3k square feet forest garden. The forest garden are planted with trees that ripen at different times during the year, so that we have fresh fruit all year round. I have 16 raised beds, but because I can grow all year, it’s like having double that.
Congratulations on your new high tunnel.
hello watching from Borneo 👍👍
Wow, wow, wow, that is so cool and it looks so nice and it´s like it has always been there. Wish you the best week-end.
