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!

Could Jamaica Cottages have special ordered a better example of constructing one of their buildings than you? I don't think so!
Al, between the kit's organization of materials and your penchant for perfection, this project is a match made in heaven. Nice.
You did a tremendous job. It was nice to have plans laid out step-by-step to help you along. I am amazed that you were able to do all of that on your own. Just goes to show how talented you are. Heavenly father was definitely watching over you as you worked all by yourself. Looking forward to the next video, take care, stay safe, and God-bless.
Al is naturally neat though. Everything is beautifully built. The goat feeder, the milking stand, New Yolk City, The pig mobile. Everything Al does that is permanent is really done well. Planning and patience.
Amazingly AWESOME Al!!! If you would run for President, you would DEFINITELY have my vote!!!We can only hope, right?!?!?!
Bonita Crow, I was thinking the same thing myself! 👌🏻👏🏻
@@dianetucker2711 Al is too wise to want to run other people's lives.
Plan your work.....Work your plan. You are deff getting it done Al!!!! Looks awesome!!!
Although I am 75 living in a senior building I so enjoy watching you build that barn and the goat,the chickens ,and the dogs ,your cat love it
I'm only 69 but in senior living as well. The farming reminds me of my childhood at my grandparents' farm and all the building reminds me of watching my father build. He was a perfectionist too, just like Al.
One thing I really enjoy is watching people sharing building things on UTube..
It helps us get our feet wet
And be able to see how different processes are done..
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Our build got rained out today so I will wind up doing some chain sawing and brush whacking in the woods. Glad to see that you were able to get some work done! It's always nice being up on the second floor deck working. The breeze. the view, and knowing you have a full floor of progress below you! Looking sweet Al!
Great job. Patience is a definite virtue when hanging rafters and rafter poles by yourself.
Your channel has become one of my fav’s! I am in CA and can’t fall asleep until I watch your post!
I am more and more impressed with your talents and abilities you display while building this barn all by yourself. Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
I want you guys to know, I really appreciate you. I start my day watching your channel. You always have a bright outlook on life. You and your family are awesome. Thanks again.
I don't mind telling you that I was so nervous watching this video today and so relieved that all went well. If anyone had told me that a barn could be built by one person I would never have believed it. What an amazing job you're doing
I am building my own small barn 15x24
You are doing an amazing job building your barn! So happy for you, Gina and Olivia! ❤️
Greetings everyone from Cape Town, South Africa. I am sooo impressed with the work you are doing on your barn. It looks fantastic.
I have friends in Florida that moved here from Joberg around 5 years ago. Oldy enough their neighbors 2 houses down are from SA as well. They are planning a braai for the 4th of July 😀
Do you know Taz? Tell her Robbie says hello. Are there many people in Cape Town?
@@roberthudson6284 Only a few million!!!!!
I know a lovely lady named Taz here in Cape Town. She is going out with my husband's nephew Grant. I don't know if its the same lady tho.
It must have been so satisfying to get the ridge pole up and the rafters in place
What a wonderful help little Olivia is, she is of course lucky to live in such a beautiful environment. Hope cracks me up when she climbs in the feeder, she is still so adorable 🌸🌸🌸💚Hope Forever💚🌸😀😀
Olivia is also learning so much working with her dad, and mom, doing whatever the chore of the minute might be. Lifelong lessons.
M.K. Carol absolutely, she will be wonderfully equipped with knowledge 😊
I had to watch this with me covering the screen because when you were on the edge it was making sick,But i had to keep watching I had to see you build the barn,your my favorite family to watch GOD bless
karen catalano My thoughts exactly.
It made my stomach flip every time he looked down over the side. Lol
karen catalano I was the same way. Drone shots are good but over the edge bad. 😩
@@TYGER0902 If you are watching then nothing bad happened.
Greetings from Abu Dhabi again love watching you make your homestead more productive and beautiful! There’s nothing like watching a fella raise his own barn❣️ Much love to Gina and Olivia and you Al!!!
Good morning everyone. Be careful, you don’t want to injure yourself. The barn is coming along very well, you must be proud of yourselves. Those babies wanted to let you know that they’re hungry 😊💞
Another busy day that the project is looking mighty great...Gotta hand it you Al and Olivia...No extreme heights for me 😊😊
Good Morning Al, man you are one fast worker, my husband who owned a contracting business said I would hire that man in a New York second lol he was so impressed with your talent, feel special Al, he watched a w hole viedo of yours and my husband does not watch TH-cam videos AT ALL ...Hey have a grest day Al, and hey brother be safe....love the goats and your videos. .....
My husband and I stand in awe at your skills Al! Excellent job!
Al, you are doing a fantastic job if I must say so. I mean all that measuring correctly , lifting those heavy pieces of wood, all the sawing and putting the screws in wow that's so much work for one person. The overhead shots from the drone that Olivia did were really enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Love your channel. It's so nice how you talk to the animals. They enjoy you, I can tell. What a beautiful homestead and family.
We like it too Al , a lot. God Bless, stay safe. ( I add your safety to my prayers every morning) ❤
Held my breath for you throughout BUT let out a HUGE YAHOO!! when you finished that last rafter! AWESOME JOB! Wish I was younger I'd be following after your footsteps! Thank you for sharing! So happy for you!
You have an exceptional view down your tree and rock lined lane from that loft. I can just see the horses and buggies of the past there.
Hi Al. I've got to say as a 65 year old man with failing eyes, creaky knees and arthritic hands, watching you has inspired me to undertake a tiny, but for me exhausting, maintenance job at my house when I thought that was all behind me. When I was younger I could carry out all sorts of d.i.y. (do you call it that in U.S.A. ?) but never on the scale that you are doing with that barn. Watching you and your family build up your homestead gives me great pleasure. I particularly enjoyed watching you and Olivia sledding in the snow last winter. I hope life is good to you and your family. Enjoy the journey and be good to each other. Thanks for inspiring me to have a little attempt at do-it-yourself around the home again. Peace and happiness always.
Reading about what you said about anxiety is wonderful. Medication is not always the option and I am glad your finding your way... I have anxiety worse since I suffered a stroke last year, but I must say God will help me fond my way and watching your show helps me alot. I want our family to have our own modern homestead...
I love watching you build. I usually end up feeling frustrated watching others, wanting to take over and do it right. You do it RIGHT. If it’s off, you back it out and fix it! Most construction is done “good enough” but I like it RIGHT. Square, flush, solid. You build the way I would and it’s super fun and refreshing to watch! You’re so brave to do it solo too!
Gooood morning!!!! The barn is coming along that's awesome!!!! Hope y'all have a blessed day!!!!
Al, dont know if u have the luxury of reading comments, but u r extremely motivating, proving we can do ne thing we set our minds 2. ThanQ so much 4 sharing ur lives with us, ur adoring fans! Can't wait 2 wake up 2 watch ur vids!!
Jamaica Cottages should be paying you for this construction. It will sell Barnes. You make it look easy, but we know it is not easy especially with one person. DeWalt should also be paying you for the great advertisement for them. Hey DeWalt, how about a whole set of new tools for Al. He is such a great guy and does you proud. Al, you are still my favorite and I watch you and your family every day. I feel like I am watching family. Your family and all the sweet animals give me much joy. Love you and God Bless.
Al, Yes. The headline should read:- "Stealthy joiner sneaks up on nervous ridge pole so as not to scare it off its perch in high rise drama!" It just shows that if you go thoughtful, calm, cool and collected you can get lots done. First class! Regards Stephen.
I am so IMPRESSED!!!!! I would say "good job."....But, that was a GREAT JOB!!!!!!
There were a few times (a lot) when I was tight cheeked, but you made it look so easy....I know better. Really enjoyed the Drone shots.
Thank you for sharing. God bless.
I was tight cheeked too! 😂
Al it must be so satisfying for you to work on this barn. It looks fantastic..everyone has done a great job!
I really commend you for building your barn on your own, Al. I look forward to your videos every night. I live in Townsville in Nth Queensland Australia, so it's night time here when you post your videos. I love them. All the very best to you n Gina n Olivia for the future. 👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀
Amazing ! I love your dialogue while working. I would not be surprised if many others use your videos as reference to construct their own barns, or ask you to help them build one for them for money.Great video !
Woah!! Those go pro shots over the side looking down are making my stomach lurch into my throat!!!
Mine too. So glad its Al up there and not me.
Mine too.
You did a safe build by thinking it through. So glad Olivia flew the drone. Such experiences for you all.
I really admire your ability to put up the barn/workshop by yourself ( with the ladys help)
Oh boy can't wait to start my day by watching your video thank you for sharing love your Channel ❤
.
I've really enjoyed watching you build your barn all by yourself. You're the man! Also, great work from your wife and daughter helping in the construction. It makes my morning watching the progress of the build. Thanks!👍🏗
GREAT JOB!! Total satisfaction I am sure and nothing wrong being a little nervous and cautious. Well done!!!
Who knew tight-rope walking was a Homesteader skill? 😄 Excitement building here, though. You got rafters! Woohoo!
Good morning to everybody . I really think you’re doing an excellent job Al. The barn is coming along so nicely and Olivia is standing so tall and high beside her father looking in wonder at the great job he’s done by himself installing the rafters. Al we are all very proud of you. Keep up the good work. God bless and protect you. 🙏
I am so impressed with your tenacity and calm building your barn. Your work ethics are rewarding you each day . 👍 What a treat seeing your videos. Thank you for sharing. I love You Tube!
😨My palms were sweating watching this one! And all we have to say is, "AL, YOU DA MAN!!"👍👏
Respect! I built a 30x50 shop by myself. I had 2 friends help with the concrete pour, but the rest including a bathroom w/ shower, I did alone. What you do isn't easy.
Al you could qualify for a Mr America high wire act if such a contest exists. Great job on the roof rafters. You completed a job that most would not even think of tackling. Way to go you da man. I'll bet you felt so good when both feet were back on the ground.
Glad you were able to do the ridge pole without hurting yourself. Can't wait to see it done!
You are amazing! You will try and tackle anything. How satisfying it must be to you to know that you have built everything on your homestead. Congrats! You are doing wonderful!
Amazing how much work one man can do with pre-cut kits. Very impressed.
Al is flipping amazing. He does not let anything stop him. I say it again, Al For President.
Had me on the edge of my seat this time. Whew! So glad you know what you're doing. Looking great. Bless you all!!
Greetings from the Caribbean island Trinidad and Tobago...I look forward to seeing you working on your farm every day..I am so enjoying the build on the barn..Congratulations to Olivia she did an awesome job flying that drone today..
I am impressed. I have been watching you since the start of your channel. I have been amazed with regards to your carpentry skills. You built your property's buildings alone or with your wife and daughter. Fantastic....
AH, coffee and watching a barn rise in the morning, Keep up the great work and videos.
Love your work ethics,kind of reminds me of how I work. I always work by myself. You know all the little tricks to make your job easier. Keep up the good work. Next month I'll be starting an 8x10 garden shed by myself. I'm 72 years old.
I hope you heard the applause when you put the final screw in the ridge pole and the cheers for the final rafter. Well done it's looking amazing!
Everytime you say "I like it", a chuckle escapes my silly grin. Your joy and satisfaction in your work is lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing. 😁
The Barn Looks awesome!! Going up fast!! Good morning!
Yup well thought out, glad you said it in the last video, “safety first!” Coming along fantastic!!! Great job!!! Can’t wait to see it all finished!!!
The ONE man show! The barn that AL built! In his own words “NICE, I LIKE IT!! 👍🏻❤️👍🏻
Great job with the rafters, not an easy job by yourself! Looks like you had some great help with your drone pilot too!
OMG! You are something else. What a job!!!
Its amazing that you did this mostly by yourself, and help from your wife and daughter. Great job.
Great job on the rafters and using a makeshift upright to hold the ridge pole. I could see someone turning one of those barns into a small home with some modifications. Can't wait to see the finished priduct.
You are such a joy for us to watch first thing in the morning with breakfast and coffee. After starting our day out right we go on to meditation and we always say a grateful prayer for you, your family and farm life. You are doing a great job with the build!
WOW you are an inspiration and watching this reminds me of my dad and the men of my family very hard workers. I enjoy your videos thank you 😊
I'm a home owner, carpenter, contractor.......watching this video just make me realized how nice and peaceful is doing your own project without dealing with the BS of others, the famous hurry up and wait, oops we are not ready for you, etc........Nothing better of managing your own time and staying truly motivated. Cheers from Maui!
So close to 100K subs ! What kind of party are you going to give us ? I think Gina, standing on top of the barn, singing The Sound of Music !
You my friend are a building machine. I am so amazed at how much you get accomplished by yourself. Very organized and safe build. That will be a beautiful barn when it is complete that will last for years and years to come should be a lasting legacy of your family. 👍
I have a new respect for you, your skills are amazing, I love 💕 your videos thanks for sharing
very impressed how you achieved the roof rafters by yourself, great work
Your barn is going to be sweet. You have some great skills and your daughter flies the drone so well. Those shots were great though my heart was in my stomach watching you do this part of the barn. Great job.
I can't wait to see the finished product. It is going to be a beauty!
WOW!!! Most AMAZING video of setting a ridge beam and rafters by yourself!!! GREAT JOB JUST AWESOME!!! Hope and Pray all is well!!!
We used to refer to that kind of job as a "toe cramp day" LOL Well done young man !!!
Great feeling when you accomplish something on your own. Great job
I'm so glad you did that safely. I lost a dear sweet friend when he fell off a scaffold doing roof work. He only fell 9 feet but he landed on his head on concrete. My heart is still broken. I'm amazed at how well the pigs worked that ground! Looks fluffy and tilled and ready to plant some pumpkins for the critters in the fall. Blessings to all.
Sorry about your friend
Great job! I think I held my breath through most of it! Wow, Al! Wow! 🖒🖒🖒
The system of this building is awesome . I know it look more easy than it is , but it is a very Nice system to put it together. Your a great Builder Al 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good Morning Al! The barn is coming along nicely. You're doing an Amazing job running your homestead ❤️ I am starting to miss your delicious meal preparations.. Happy to see everything is coming together for your homestead, Have a Beautiful Weekend Everyone!!💖💃💃💖
Tami Johnson I bet Al is missing those meal preparations too!!! Praying he’s eating well while doing all that back breaking work!🥰
Good morning......
lumnah Acres.
Al, I admire your careful and persistent work on your post & barn it will be finished in no time. It sure does look great! Many respects to an almost, one man building his dream. Jamaica Cottage should use the videos on their website. Thank you for sharing. Donna
Love how you plan everything to maximize safety, amazing skills you have! Stay safe.
A two story fall can kill you. Glad you got it done. Looking more complete every day. Good job on the drone Olivia, really helps. Thanks for sharing guys.
Incredible accomplishment
Going to be very nice looking when its all done, as well ... and sturdy to ...
Thanks for bringing us all along for the journey.
Blessings to you and your family
Watching you do this made it easy when I did my tractor barn al by myself. Thank you.
Love watching this you put so much thought into what you are doing, and that means safty.. Hats off to you you're doing great...
You're amazing! It was quite a feat doing that by yourself. Of course, I helped by holding my breath for about half the video!
You and your family did such an awesome job on your barn. You thought everything through and were extremely careful, such a great example to others! God Bless!
Al I can't believe you are building this barn on your own. You are doing a great job. Can;t wait to see it when it's all finished
Al, my day begins after I watch your Barn Building lol. My hubby said this morning that 'Al has the know how and persistence when it comes to your Farm lol, hes right though.
Cant wait for another video Al.
Libby is a big helper for sure.
Happy day to you all.
See ya next time Lumnah Fam.
🐄🐖🐷🐓🐤🦆🐱🐕🐶🐐🌳🌻
A whole new definition of a barn raising. You go beyond amazing with the projects you make. I love your work ethic and the great example you are setting for Olivia. You had me on the edge of my seat when putting all those rafters up by yourself. So glad you are careful not to have any mishaps.
Oh i pray for your safety each morning. You are so skilled! ♥️☺️🙏😂🌞
I'm impressed doing this all by your self 👍🏼 Fabulous job from Canada. ❤️ 🇨🇦
Pucker factor 9.9!😂
Happy to see you got it done safely. Looks great!
I've said I before, am very impressed with your DeWalt drill?driver? The quality of the Jamaica barn kit and your painstaking precision for getting everything organized is lovely to watch as the barn comes together. You have not complained but no doubt you have your sore and stuff moments at night after the climbing and lifting and hoping boards into place all day. Terrific family project. Thank you for sharing.and congrats on your soon to be 100000 subscribers!!
Hmmmmmm, just thinking, Noah did this with the help of his sons!!!! Crazy what you can do!!!! Amazing work. From all of us here in Texas, Love and Blessings to you and your beautiful family.
A one=man construction crew! You are amazing, Al! And Olivia did an awesome job with the drone! I thought you were on the "follow me" mode until you thanked her for flying it! Great job Olivia! I was a little worried for you but know that you are a very careful carpenter. It looks amazing! Blessings from NE Missouri!
I seen you tested the chicken fence before stepping over. I'll say you only make that mistake once before caution sets in lol.
I had to laugh a bit about that comment. Just yesterday I assumed the north pasture fence was off because the horses were in the west pasture. The mistake woke me up better than a pot of coffee...
My Dad always said "plan your work and work your plan, because a failure to plan is a plan for failure" you showed the proof of concept, well done.
