    I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
    At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

    To see a Dad and Daughter working, learning and doing something together is the best.
    Mine was kidnapped 5 years ago. So many feelings here with this one.
    I need some spools. I got my first goat today. My girlfriends X gave her's away. I have worked with a lot of animals. Goats are new and we found us a Nigerian Dwarf today. So you just taught me something to build for ours.
    I am getting ready for the ride. Rabbits, dogs, goats, chickens and whatever else we can have around.
    Great Video. Its good to see a young woman trusted with work.

    Good daddy and homesteader. As long as they are not too close to the fence, or they can jump over. Do not be afraid of pushing them further apart. A little challenge is exciting for them. Spoolorama,

    @papasaverios 5 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    Fantastic video, I see so much more then just a few spools in the yard, IC and anxiety free, stress free environment, you can just watch the difference between pre and post spools, it was like dark into light. The pigs, the chickens... The chickens got out so we just left them, they're happy! You sent that what you went to find or is that what you went to build.
    35 years living with multiple sclerosis here disabled for the past decade, we know what we need to get through it's just showing others how they can help. You went to your homestead because you knew how to help you've walked the path and you're starting, I sat and watch this video for 17 minutes, the pressure inside subsided and I was able to breathe and be comfortable, and that's why I continue to come back, cuz you're working on me too! Thanks for taking the time to share your day it made mine!

    Oh how fun👍👍 you sure made their day !!! Back in the 1970’s we used sand down the tops of the spools then stain them and put a few coats b of clear coat on them and used them for coffee table or whatever you want to use them for. I’m happy your goats are enjoying their new toys. Oh hey your daughter is a really good backhoe operator and driver. Man they grow up so fast. God Bless you and your family 🙏🙏🦋🦋🌈🌈🌺🌸🌻🌻🌼🌹🌹

  • @phliptoutcool

    The spools are great but you should try leaving a couple on their side. The goats will jump up on the middle and walk the spools. Very fun to watch!

    • @LumnahAcres

    • @EHCBunny4real
      @EHCBunny4real 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @patbootie9552

      On wholesome roots they cover the holes with wood. I think goats will eat at your foam and need wood planks put over top.

    5:30 I worked for the phone company for 30 years and we had all sizes of wire reels. I used to practice walking on them, (rolling them). I figured if I ever became a lumbethack, that would be a valuable skill... The bigger ones are a little easier. You have to be quick to walk the smaller ones, they're very reactive. The 3-4 foot diameter ones were the easiest for me.

    I put planks from spool to spool and a few cinder blocks as boosters for shorter goats to the taller spools. When the ground is wet my wether stands on one block giving me "the look". Goats don't understand that I am not the omnipotent weather controller. That's above my paygrade.
    Oh and my two sleep together on a spool except in rain.

It was a tin roof - he said it sounded like the worst rainstorm ever - lol
