    You did a great job skirting the chicken coop. What does it matter that the lines are not lined up, it serves a purpose and you executed it well. By the time you get finished with building the homestead, you will be a journeyman carpenter. Keep up the great work. 👏

    I'm so refreshed after this video. Springtime in Alaska🥳 I miss having a yard. My rental has crushed gravel "yard". That window planter on the coop is 💯😃
    Wood splitter... you didn't say how much gas. I guessed no more than a couple gallons, or until it overflows?
    Love your toadstool overalls and the pencil accessories🤣
    I'm glad Wyatt's mishap wasn't worse😵‍💫

    Hi sweet one! Aaron is right...he has taught you well in the carpentry skills! You did a great job on the skirting for both projects!! Too bad you have to close the chickens up, but they can do a lot less damage that way, and the neighbors will be happy! I love all the flowers...they make me happy too...lol! Big hugs and many blessings, my lovely friend!

    Hi Jessica, Aaro, Wyatt and your mother! Aaron has taught you well Jessica, you and your mother done a great job in the cabin. Of course Aaron makes it go faster I’m sure.
    Chickens are safe and secure now and the chicken coop looks great.
    Prayers for Wyatt’s healing on his hand.
    Dinner looked yummy to me, I like easy when I’m busy.
    Try some balsamic vinegar on the zucchini and squash then put on the grill, so delicious. My kids would gobble them up.
    That’s exactly what we did, we taught our kids on a stick shift first. You’d be surprised how fast they learn when they want to drive, lol.
    The chicken coop fencing is done, good job.
    Your flowers look lovely and you have decorated the wood shed and chicken coop with some pretty flowers.
    Have a blessed night everyone! ❤️

    One way to use up shredded Cole slaw mix is sautéed it with some onion and then pour scrambled eggs on top and cook until eggs are done. I love it in my scrambled eggs. So yummy. Or just sauté with onions in bacon grease for a delicious side dish.

    You've all done such a great job on your place. Insulating under the house is such a difficult job. I couldn't see all around your skirting to know if it's completely enclosed. If it is, one suggestion, if you haven't added vents, you should. Normally, there should be one vent per side to ensure adequate air circulation under there. (same under your chicken coop) Hope you all have an amazing week.

    • @modernhomesteadalaska
      @modernhomesteadalaska  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes there is air flow on the cabin. In fact too much we will be closing it down a bit in the fall. But keeping a air vent on each of the 4 sides for good cross ventilation but I should of mentioned that
