I am a Certified Surgical Technologist here in lower Michigan. I work in the operating Room. I use to work all different shifts, late night, call, weekends, holidays. I am grateful every single day that my hospital added another person to the midnight shift trauma team. I chose midnights, weekends. So I go in Friday, Sat, Sundays at 7 pm work til 7 am. 36 hours and because I'm giving up every weekend they pay us for 40 hours. I leave Monday morning and dont go back until 7 pm on Friday night. I love being home with my chickens we have 101 meat birds, 24 egg birds, full garden, pool (yes tha requires work too), 3 dogs. We are now canning. I also Craft . Thank God for my guy.
Thank you, again, for sharing your beautiful and busy family with us! Your lucky kids are surrounded by amazing examples of loving, involved parents, and the benefits of persistence, hard work, and working as a team. You and Chelsea are such a lovely couple, too. Your videos bring a smile to my face.
My wife works at a hospital and takes care of the homestead with me as well. Unless you haven't experienced this joy yourself. You're missing out on what working all day. Go chickens.....
Best thing for you, I work full time with bipolar PTSD and my wife also works full time and we have a small homestead. You will live longer than the rest. Productivity is the key. Keep up the good work.
Bruh, you made my cry with your message to Chelsea! You two are such a sweet couple! I relate so much to this video. My husband stays home and tends to the homestead while I work outside the home (Almost 2 hour drive one way). On my days off I love doing the chores on the Homestead and getting in the garden and kitchen. I pray one day to do it full time too! You guys are well on your way and you are a great team! I'm excited for a birth story when the time comes!! ❤
Thank you for this video. My husband and I both work full time and it's craziness on our little homestead. Yesterday before work the goats jumped the fence and we found one of our ducks injured. Frantically trying to get goats in, get a kennel for the injured duck and not be late for work! Good times!
When my husband and I get to the end of a difficult project on the homestead we always stop, take a step back, and really look at what we did. That’s followed by a huge five high and saying “teamwork makes the dream work”
Nighttime watering of garden is my evening chore. I don’t have time in the morning before work plus I like to go out just as it’s getting dark to water as chickens are going to bed then I close up the coop since coop and garden are near each other. It has worked well for me so far, splitting the chores up feels like less work
Yep, I work two jobs. One 32 hour a week job and one 36 hour a week job. I am alone and 60 years old. Trying to do everything myself is very difficult, but I'm determined. Chickens and a garden and cats and one Great Dane. I'm looking at adding meat rabbits. I enjoyed watching your days.
You guys are awesome man. Love to see the real stuff. Good on you for showing all the behind the scenes things of having a wife and kids, a job, a homestead, and a TH-cam channel!
Props to Chelsea. I can’t figure out how to do it with a 4 year old and a 6 month old. 😬 those days off for you are the key! John used to have Saturdays off to at least get a little bit done but now he has to work Monday-sat! So he has no full work days.
I work Card on the vendor side. I wonder if your Hospital uses our products. The only good thing that came from Covid is that I primarily work from home. Just saving the commute time has been huge. It gives me a lot more time to help my wife and tend to the mini homestead.
HI! I'm also a Canadian, I also work in a hospital (I'm a nurse) I've been wanting to live a homestead life but didn't think it would be possible as a single person to work full time and move out of the city with that long of a drive. Thank you for showing me this is possible. You have renewed my dream and confidence that I can make this happen.
I work the exact same hours and drive time as you. Living in the upper midwest, winter can be challenging with below 0 temps, short days and long winters but having a homestead is the best feeling ever. My chickens give me so much joy after a long day at work and they reward us with beautiful multi colored eggs. During the summer the garden and flowers bring such a rewarding feeling knowing your giving your family the freshest food possible. I love watching your videos and the way you keep it real! You have a beautiful family, God bless all of you! :)
You are both doing a wonderful job! Chelsea is amazing , and so pretty! You both work so hard, and are such good parents! Keep up the great work, it is all worth it!
At this point.... we are slowly making it back to what was intended and true happiness. Escaping home and family to make a living is not it. That is what we need to overcome. We will. 😊
I also work 40 plus hours in 4 days (the first 3.5 yrs here it was normally 60 hrs/week) and I also drive 50 mins to my job at a hospital . But I work from 10p-8a. On my 3 days off, I dont get half of the things done that I need to bc I cant stop sleeping. But on days that I work, I rarely get 2 or more hrs of sleep so I'm always making up for lost sleep. I don't have a homestead bc I cant afford one but I do take care of my multiple chickens that I love coming home to and caring for. I just dream about a homestead but really, if it doesnt happen soon, Ill be too old to actually do anything on a homestead.......but I can still dream.
Awesome. Love the videos. I love being able to take care of my homestead. I am actually just starting out this year with a real garden and chickens. I am retired and take care of my spouse who had a stroke and take care of everything in and outside the house. But that is what makes me happy. The animals keep me sane. LOL I also have other pets as well. Thank you for the good info about chickens. I got my chicks this past spring. They are so entertaining that I have a chair by their pen just to watch them.
Thank you for being in this world, thank you for making this video and thank you for sharing your experience, because after watching this video I feel like I have gained energy to complete unfinished work.
❤ the comments about your wife good boy! Now when is the baby arriving? Are you going to take time off to be home? Homestead it’s a lot of work! Kudos guys!!
Woah man! Respect to you! I am the same way. I don’t work in the hospital though. I build pole barns and houses. This SC heat has been at least 94 the past 4 days. It’s hot. I’m wore out. I wouldn’t change it for anything!!!!
@@AcresOfAdventure that’s why we’re in the road early, it’s 6:32 am in SC we have been in the road since 5:45. Got an hour and a half ride a head of us to go put trusses for the roof on building today. Y’all stay safe!
Hey hey I'm here cuz when I was a kid I wanted a pet chicken cuz it was cute became an adult and was given the opportunity to become a chicken mom to 2 chickens I've heard the horror stories of foxes getting into chicken coops so I got a bird cage for them which their growing out of p.s the same bird cage I said that they could never grow out of cuz it's big I didn't account for how shitty they'd be to keep as house pets I also didn't account for what I'd have to feed them now I love my chickens and I wanna do better for them I think I wanna allow myself 2 to 3 more months to get in the Grove of raising 2 healthy chickens but if I feel that I am still not good enough I would like to give them up not to make my life easier but to make theirs the best most healthiest they can be I don't wanna send them to a home where they would be mistreated or cooked and I see ur chickens are very happy so if I can't care for mine I'd love for you to make them the new editions to ur chicken family but I will be getting advice from u on what I could do to be better so I will be subscribed
Chelsea, you look awesome, prayers for a healthy baby and perfect delivery! The garden looks wonderful, what a wonderful job all of you have done! This year has gone so fast :/
Hey bud, just starting following you guys last month, currently have a garden and 4 chickens on the way. I’m an RTR and work in a Cath Lab/IR Lab in a hospital, we have STEMI call so I’m within 30mins of work, do you take any call? Anyway keep up the great work and videos, really enjoy them..!
Yeah so I'm like ready to give them up now😭😭 I can't care for them the way they need and the way I would like so if you are willing to take them I'm more than willing to give them

I love hearing other people who love this way. Gives me hope that we can start a small movement of people being in touch with their food.
Everyone loves when Daddy gets home from work 😊

Your lucky kids are surrounded by amazing examples of loving, involved parents, and the benefits of persistence, hard work, and working as a team. You and Chelsea are such a lovely couple, too.

I hope one day our kids look back and think the same. Thank you for your ongoing support!
My wife works at a hospital and takes care of the homestead with me as well. Unless you haven't experienced this joy yourself. You're missing out on what working all day. Go chickens.....
Love it
Best thing for you, I work full time with bipolar PTSD and my wife also works full time and we have a small homestead. You will live longer than the rest. Productivity is the key. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much! Keep doing what you are doing and sorry for the tears😆
Man and I was complaining about not having enough time, my respect for you my friend.
Thank you for this video. My husband and I both work full time and it's craziness on our little homestead. Yesterday before work the goats jumped the fence and we found one of our ducks injured. Frantically trying to get goats in, get a kennel for the injured duck and not be late for work! Good times!
There will always be those crazy times but homesteading has so many great times and rewards for the hard the work that it’s worth it
When my husband and I get to the end of a difficult project on the homestead we always stop, take a step back, and really look at what we did. That’s followed by a huge five high and saying “teamwork makes the dream work”
Isn’t that the truth. You two keep doing great things together

It’s a good man who gives credit to the wife behind the scenes😊
I couldn’t do what I do, without her ❤️
Yep, I work two jobs. One 32 hour a week job and one 36 hour a week job. I am alone and 60 years old. Trying to do everything myself is very difficult, but I'm determined. Chickens and a garden and cats and one Great Dane. I'm looking at adding meat rabbits. I enjoyed watching your days.
Yay Chelsea! You go girl! Mom of 3 littles myself, it isnt easy! Congratulations on the 4th❤
It's a hectic one I can imagine. But you know how it is when you like what you do
When you love what you do it’s worth all the work.
You guys are awesome man. Love to see the real stuff. Good on you for showing all the behind the scenes things of having a wife and kids, a job, a homestead, and a TH-cam channel!

That’s awesome that you’ve been able to stay home more! And I bet we do use products! What company?
Ty acres of adventure. Yes homesteading is our goal too. Ty for helping us that are watching to be a more better homesteader :)

Thank you so much! I think I’m loving my dream already though
Hey bud, just starting following you guys last month, currently have a garden and 4 chickens on the way. I’m an RTR and work in a Cath Lab/IR Lab in a hospital, we have STEMI call so I’m within 30mins of work, do you take any call? Anyway keep up the great work and videos, really enjoy them..!
Glad to hear that Greg it means a lot. I take call about 6 times a month but we get an hour call time.
Yeah so I'm like ready to give them up now😭😭 I can't care for them the way they need and the way I would like so if you are willing to take them I'm more than willing to give them
Are you talking about the chickens?
Im also having trouble with how much I should feed them so if anyone could help me out with that it would be greatly appreciated 😊
Do you keep the pigs for meat or what do you keep them 4.By the way I love your ChaNNEL.
Yes we have them for meat
Without a job it doesn't work.
