The barns look fantastic. Glad to have seen the journey. The workshop project will be exciting to watch also. 😊
Eu também!
👍
Dear Pete, you never cease to amaze me ! Your energy, planning, and versatile talents…. Thank you for sharing how the turkeys tuck in for the night 😊
The cleaned out barn looks great. And how much easier this winter to feed the cattle! Work smarter not harder 😊
Pensei o mesmo.
Ficava com dó em ver o gado exposto na época do frio.
As a fellow gear-head, I really enjoy the tractor startup/warmup sequences. It's like I'm standing there helping Pete out.
I wish i could cook a turkey, im in a nursing home. My cooking days are over. But i can still enjoy youns videos.Thank you and God bless.
Loved seeing the turkeys get ready for bed 😍
The turkeys roost was pretty cool. I have five girls grandchildren they run through house saying come on cows.😂
I always check to see if I have a new video notification every Sunday after church! It's a routine I enjoy....
Just a few Acres gets my week started in a positive direction
Congratulations! What a lovely addition. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to see what Titus, Ordin(and the girls) think of their new digs!
Looks awesome Pete , can't wait to see the new shop get started ! Fun to watch the turkeys going to roost ! Thank You Pete ! GOD BLESS !!!
Looks like a Red Power Tractor show inside the barn! 👍
It must be very satisfying to have those barn jobs completed, your farm always looks so peaceful. Have a great day!
I like it when you share your construction and design experiences. Great content.
That was a great video. Things are coming along well and the ending was special. It was really cool to see the turkeys settling in for the evening. Thanks again and I will see you in the next one.
I have to say love the animal finally, you guys have a great place, thank you for making these videos as always
❤❤❤from Morrocco
As always great to watch you both and hope you all are doing well too
I had wondered about how the turkeys roosted. Way different than my chickens, who all tend to go up at the same time. Thanks. Learned something.
Nice work on that storage barn! Absolutely loved the late part with the turkeys! Like waiting for your kids to get their last drinks and snacks before bedtime!
Pete with that welder in his hands is scary but, he seems to know what he's doing. Now, when he attaches the electric fence he nearly always gets electrocuted. He jumps like hell is on his heels when he gets zapped 💤 😮
Looks great. Love the morning sounds. Pete ever thought of filming the chickens routine of going to bed I bet most would enjoy it. Susan
Your hard work really pays off
Amazing seeing all those happy turkey's 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
Nice idea to show the turkey before sleeping. Thank you.
You do need a new tractor, pete!! More old farmalls lol I love you seeing you build your collection!!
Good morning you guys .. I hope it's a nice peaceful day for you. ❤
Good morning Pete. I could seriously need that Pole barn. I started more as a small hobby farm but heck i collected quite an amount of farm machinery. Even got myself an old International 105 combine to restore. 😊
105 is a good rig, and not that crazy joystick steering like a 95!
Very entertaining video, I sure got tired watching the turkeys getting ready for bed... I fell asleep for a bit myself. Thanks Peter and Hillary for all you do, your channel is a blessing for all us viewers. Be well, best wishes. 😊
Those turkeys look like they’re ready for freezer camp! 💙
Hello Pete. I enjoy your channel very much. I especially like when you and your wife are doing something there on the farm. You have some jokes that make me laugh and some jokes not so much.?. Don't feel bad I have had the same experience. When I say a flubber or something goes haywire I just tell people I have been shot down more times and Snoopy. I don't worry about it. I like watching you with your animals, I can tell they are very at ease around you. God bless you for treating them so well. I am a retired farmer and Walmart associate from Southeast Iowa. PS. I am envious of your new pole barn and keep up the farmers market videos and videos of you three guys at machinery auctions. Thank you for making my day brighter😊
Enjoyed the video and watching the turkeys bed down for the night.
Every time you startup a tractor you smile from ear to ear. Happy equipment happy farmer.
The music playing while we watch the turkeys was perfect! Made me smile! Thanks.
Ahh, the self satisfaction when its snowing, blowing cold, and ya gotta feed a bale. All inside !!
Beautiful morning.
Pete my husband watches you every day. He really enjoys your videos. I kid him all the time by saying if Pete says it's good then it's good. We both enjoy you a whole lot. So thanks from the Bloomers in Va.
Watching the turkeys get ready for bed was a treat, thank you for the!!
Love you and what you stand for Pete! I live alone and sometimes it's hard for me to find motivation to work on my house and get stuff done alone. I wear your Just a few acres farm shirt and have your videos playing in the background. Something about that combination gives me the ability to get up and get stuff done. Thank you, Pete.
The ending with the turkey's was perfect!
The description on gravel and compacting soil makes a lot of sense for base under a concrete slab. Building inspectors always make a determination if the soil under that foundation is dense and supportive enough for the weight and support of the concrete foundation and build. Those tractors finally found their own home to roost in like the turkeys.
Turkeys going to bed. I could watch this again and again.
this station always brightens my start of the day
Good day all. Nice work, peace.
Love your farm Pete. I like you sharing your thought processes of where you're taking things.
So fun to see the turkeys get ready for bed.
I love the turkeys getting ready for bed routine
It’s been a great summer . Thought it was going to be dry but Mother Nature brought the rain .watching the new barn develop was a treat ,all the while watching the progress of the livestock . We had a great road trip and saw a magnificent flag . You have found the magic that makes it work . Thank you and your family for allowing us to tag along . God bless
Hey Pete, I am not quit sure, but Happy Birthday 🎉 I am from Germany and watch your Videos with love. Please continue to be as you be 🤗
Thank you.
Absolutely love the sound of the old tractors!
Pete, the turkey bedtime clip was indeed a treat.
You are so happy. Nice to see people loving what they do. Good choice on music with high-speed video of the turkey's nighttime ritual.
Those Farmall Tractors look amazing parked next to each other. You've done an amazing job restoring them Pete.
Pete, in 1987, we built a new 60’x60’ steel building at our family dealership. The concrete contractor wasn’t going to compact the base, because he said it wasn’t necessary. We had hauled the stone with our own trucks, and there was 217 tons in total, the contractor claimed he was at the proper grade. Fearing that the slab would crack, we rented a vibratory roller, and I operated it. In less than five minutes, the grade had changed so much, both trucks headed back to the quarry. Ninety-seven tons later, we were back to proper grade. Thirty-six tears have passed, and that slab has zero cracks in it. For what you are doing compaction isn’t critical, but under a building slab, it’s a different story.
You did not say what type of fill was used, but I think we’re in agreement. Under a commercial building slab, I would have required Proctor tests of structural fill to ensure proper compaction. Also, I would never advise to use clean stone for deep fill. instead, use graded structural fill for the majority, then finish with clean stone to shim the slab sub base.
The music for the turkey part of the video was priceless! Thanks for sharing.
It's a Sunday afternoon with my feet up and my favorite 40lb chicken that identifies as a dog has her head on my lap while I'm playing an "air base" with my fingers up and down her back along to the soundtrack of the turkeys going to bed. Each measure of 8th notes causes her back leg to start scratching. She liked that part of your program so much that she wanted to see again a few times.
The pole barn is looking good! Unless you weld day-in-day-out you're not going to be dropping dimes like a journeyman welder. But you do just fine. If you were really concerned about fire you might have a bucket of water on hand. But in a barn that has new gravel, wetting down the post is good enough. You got your heifer dust kickers on so you can stomp on anything that might flair up.
The place at this time of year looks great. Tell Hillary she does great work if you haven't already.😉👍
Love the extra stare at the Trolls
The long stare and nod into the camera made me crack up. I really love your sense of humour. ❤😂
I swear Mr. Pete I think those 2 pigs in the pasture are the best looking you've ever raised and you've had some good ones. I never knew the pole barn had as much room until you started parking equipment in it. The turkeys look great!
Everything is looking beautiful.
Enjoyed watching the tractors and turkeys gather in their roost. 😊
Another lovely day...on just a few acres. I miss how the world outside melts away under the needs of the farm.
Looked like a beautiful day, Pete. There's something to the simple, complicated simplicity of an old tractor, in my opinion. Love the turkeys roosting ending. Thank you for sharing!
Good morning Pete, this is Darlene from California. I love your videos. I love you and your family and I love your old tractors. Thanks for being there.
What a magnificent production, Pete! Thank you so much... nice to see everything falling into place due to a lot of work on your family's part. Also a unique view on how your turkeys like to bed down for the night... the flock dynamics are a real treat to enjoy! For someone who doesn't weld all that often, that lower bead looks quite professional... good job! Thanks again for a bit of the good life and allowing folks like us to see the world as you see it, albeit from a certain point of view... 👍 🖖
I sure can see the pure pride in you when you start that MD. All the pain and agony that you went through in restoring that family tractor sure was worth it. A job well done.
I think you and your wife do a great job and a farm is a work In progress it for you to enjoy keep up the great work looking forward to more great videos God Bless
Thanks Pete for a respite from this crazy world
There's nothing wrong with your tractors, at least you don't have a payment looming over you. I have older tractors too, I like that I don't have all those electronics and DEF to deal with. Good advice with the stone for fill, I used clean on my slabs, less work without compaction. Looks good with the stone, good job, I did enjoy watching, thanks. Have a good day.
older John Deeres here. Paid for and loved. they get the job done
With that many tractors it amazes me they all start and run so easily- especially the gas ones. There are so many things to do to deal with today's gasoline and occasionally I'll forget. The struggle is real!
Thank you Pete, your work around the farm never ever gets old, yip... everything thoroughly enjoyable 🙂🙂
What a beautiful calm morning 😊
I think it’s great you still use the older tractors 😊
I was thinking Pete, if you named the Turkeys as you do the cattle, it would be easy for you talk to. Hey Tom, get of there, Tom WAKE UP! 😂 I can't wait for the shop to be built as another tractor redo should follow. Thank you Pete and Hillary for sharing . It is so enjoyable!
Interesting watching the turkeys getting ready for the night.
The turkey thing was a cute idea and my wife and I really enjoyed it. As a plus, we learned something about turkey behavior.
Glad you are getting to the end of the build and able to use the areas in the way you want. Loved watching the turkeys. Thank you.
When you look at the camera up close its nice to see all the lights on and everyone is home.
I've gotten to the point where I automatically click the thumbs-up as soon as the video starts. This may seem presumptuous but Just A Few Acres Farm has never put out a disappointing video in the few years I've been watching!
I’m glad you soaked that wood before you started welding, Pete. You see… its what all of professionals swear by.
16:57 Amei a novidade!
Adoro seus vídeos. Eu imaginava que os norte-americanos eram mal humorados e sem paciência, se realmente são você passou 10 vezes na fila da distribuição de simpatia antes de nascer.. 😂
Você é a personificação da simpatia e do bom humor.
Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷
Idioma: Português do Brasil.. isso mesmo, não falamos espanhol como muitos pensam. 😂
Original Comment:
I loved the news.
I love your videos. I used to think that North Americans were grumpy and impatient; if they really are, you went thru the line for charm distribution 10 times before being born. You are the personification of charm and good humor. Hugs from Brazil.
Language: Brazilian Portuguese... that's right right, we don't speak Spanish as many people think.
Como alguém que está reaprendendo o português, língua que dizem ter falado primeiro, espero que você não se importe que eu traduza seu comentário para outras pessoas. Adorei ler e praticar meus conhecimentos de português com seu comentário. Mal posso esperar para voltar ao Brasil daqui a alguns anos.
As someone who is relearning Portuguese, a language they say I spoke first, I hope you do not mind me translating your comment for others. I enjoyed reading and practicing my Portuguese knowledge with your comment. I can not wait to come back to Brazil in a couple of years.
@@BigBaddaBoom Excelente! Seu português está muito bom.
Será bem vindo em nosso país, se precisar de algum tipo de ajuda ou quiser me visitar será muito bem vindo, a casa é bem simples, mas o nosso carinho acolhedor recompensa.
Oh the joy of raking gravel. Another good video, thanks Pete.
You really got the bath looking great, and the upper barn has so much more room now. So excited about the new build of your shop, and so glad you are finally going to have the shop you dreamed of having. Really enjoy watching your videos, you and Hillary make me laugh every video. You are such a awesome creator and do a great job.
Hi Pete! Your channel is great! Been following you for about a year and a half and I learn/affirm what I’m trying to do as I develop my own homestead.
I recall two videos, maybe three that you talked about what the comments do to your psyche; please know what you produce and share is and should be a blessing for anyone lucky enough to stumble upon your content. You and Hillary work hard, intelligent, and just good people. I can’t say enough of what you provide and the positive impact you have on people.
The comment you made on this video about finally accomplishing the barn(s) project i can truly relate to and I think is one of the reasons I enjoy developing a homestead - there are so many opportunities to admire the work you can accomplish and then relish in the fruits of your labor; at least for a short time as there are always a list of other projects on the horizon.
I hope to meet you in the future, just not sure how being in Kentucky but you never know.
Thanks again for what you do on this channel and society.
❤Looking forward to the winter mechanical projects. Have a great week everyone!
So happy you ‘soaked everything’, safety first.
Ok that time laps of the turkeys was just what I needed to get through the day.. Thanks!!
Your channel, is actual therapy to me. It literally calms me down and I’m glad your around.
I think the barn clean up and the redo looks great . That is one thing I wish for is to have a roof over my head as I water and feed all my animals. You've all done a great job
Now I can see how it is all coming together, and the functionality that you are going for, less work for you and Hillary and the comfort for the animals, can't wait to see the finished product. Good tidings going forward.
Your own personal Red Tractor Parade. You are a lucky man Pete! And loved the Turkey-lapse. :)
What crazy birds they all now there own spot
"It's a new day, chickens!". Now there's a t-shirt idea if I ever heard one.
Love your you tube videos Pete, from Sydney down under 🍻
I liked when the video started,and you heard many types of birds,the cattle,a rooster crowing ,etc,took me right back to the farm growing up
Thx Pete 4 the turkey section. Barns are gonna be awesome for this winter. All that hard work will pay off when the white stuff covers the ground.👍
Pete you look sooo HAPPY with your farmall tractors. Like boy lining up his Hot-wheels.
The tractor parking lot looks very good. I know this is going to sound strange but I could watch you work all day Pete. Have a great day.
sweat dreams turkeys, thank you Pete.
It was an interesting video but the best part was SPENDING TIME WITH THE TURKEYS!!! Thanks Pete.
Oh what a wonderful treat that was, watching the turkeys go to bed! lol I enjoyed that so much. Watched it twice. Please do that again. :)))) Thank you, Pete
Loved it all...but the Turkey scene won the prize this time. Your videos are NEVER boring.
Thanks Pete!! Love the turkey ending.
I have huge respect for you, Pete & Hillary for the farmstyle you champion with all the ups and downs; And am grateful you share it all with us your loyal fans!!! Have some fun you two!!! 😊
