I don't know if I have ever told you, thank you and your family for opening up your homestead to everyone. You guys/gals/goats make my mornings complete.
Good morning Lumnah family ☕️ full face safety shield when cutting metal, dust mask while cleaning fire box and Bless you... I showed my daughter your snow, she asked when can we move there... have a blessed day
I live in France and we have an easy way to clean woodburner windows. Use a damp cloth dipped into fine ash. Rub onto dirty window, quick wipe and voila - job's done. Bon courage....
you guys are great, it gets me all emotional when you have your prayer and dinner, God blesses your family daily and it makes me happy to see that. Thank you for sharing those intimate moments of your lives as an inspiration to others.
Al u keep forgetting to move the goat feeder closer so not to be walking through deeper snow this winter. Was so looking forward to the install of the new Tracks. But the wood stove YES is move IMPORTANT. God bless be safe. Jim
AL, the easiest way to keep your stove glass flan, is a very damp paper towel and some ash from the stove. You will think it's a mess but as soon as you wipe it off well, it's clean. Based on the principle of everything is a solvent of itself. Take Care
Mornin', gang. I have a suggestion for Olivia. In the last couple of videos I noticed you have to reach pretty high to get the feed scoop over the chicken fence. Not to worry. When you get to be as tall as your mom it will be easy. Between then and now, try taking a step or two away from the fence and cast the feed under hand like your dad. Only you would be casting through the fence. As big as the spaces between the strands are I don't think the fence will be a hindrance to the feed passing through. Give it a try. See what happens.
I'm dating myself, but my dad used to have a welding and repair shop. I remember going there as a little kid and him teaching me what all the tools were, etc. I remember a caliper measuring tool that he could use to see what size drill bit he needed for making holes for replacement bolts, etc. I bet they have electronic ones now. It might be a handy tool to have once in a while. Like for this video, LOL. Isn't that how it goes? Not that you didn't get the job done. As always, I learn a lot from you guys. Blessings.
Wet rag or sponge scubbi and wood ash is the best cleaner them buff up with paper towel a lot earlier than the way you do it. It cleans the oven as well.
I got my Polyface Designs book this week, too! I am fascinated by all the details of each structure, and also love Joel's stories about how each design came about.
Been putting off getting Joel’s book but I need to go ahead and order it, it’s full of so much good info. His farm is only about an hour away so that’s on schedule for spring.
You don't need glass cleaner or a razorblade to clean the glass all you do is wet a rag and dip it in the ash and use that to rub on the glass and everything will come off with ease
Burrrrrrrrrrr ! It’s so freezing cold by you . I hate cold weather, and so I live in Arizona! Not far from Weed Em , and Weep. Love ❤️ watching the homestead shows . Look forward to them every day. I know you’re off on Wednesday , and Sunday. I’m watching tonight at 11:30 my time , cuz I missed you this morning. Lots of snow ❄️ , but you both are working. You did a lot of prep work before the snow. It’s nice now you have Gina who works hard . Love Gina,s cooking skills . Her confidence has grown behind the camera. Have a blessed Sunday, Thankyou both for your homestead. Hi there to Olivia !
Lumnas, Nice pace of life going on there. Dinner looked good. When I make meatloaf I sometimes use pork mince, chopped bell peppers and Philadelphia cheese along with the rest of the method you showed. It's very juicy! Enjoy the winter reading. Regards Stephen.
Aww gee. Let Al and family have some kind of privacy. That's why most TH-camr's have a P.O.Box. They share so much of their lives already. If they posted a map I would bet there would be someone stalking them or walking right up on their property. Believe me, my former husband was a radio disk jockey and we had a couple of crazies stocking him. Maybe a hand drawn map slightly inaccurate
@@nelrondeau7572 so true.Just be satisfied they shared their news with us.To many crazy folks around. One youtuber had to ask viewers don't show up where they hunt.His dad had a serious surgery so they didn't need visitors especially with coronvirus.I don't think he ever said where they hunted but the people probably googled what little information he stated.
No I mean like a drawing. Of how the land lays not satellite or road map to show the location, Red Tool House has a drawing to show where he's working in relation to their house in WV
Some secret ingredients in a meat loaf.... finely chopped celery and finely chopped bell peppers. Don't forget the onions, and you can use oats instead of bread crumbs. Drain away the grease half way through and finish uncovered for a nice crust. I guess we're having meat loaf tonight thanks to you folks! :o)
To clean the window of our woodburningstove we use an old newspaper. Make it into a wad of paper. Make it a bit wet and clean your window. Very easy, clean and cheap!
Mornin’ from west Texas! I tell ya what Al, you have got to be the handiest man! You’re worth your weight in gold by how much you can save by doing things yourself.
You have to be on a farm or homestead. 😂 if I had to hire out my custom ultimate duck house it would be over 20k but I just paid for materials and of course my time.
I always watch y'all, and you're always working or building something new and exciting. What about down time what do y'all do? movie night, game night? do y'all ever share those or thought about sharing a fun night with the family? maybe a live stream game night?
Good morning! Had to change out the gasket on my Hearthstone soapstone woodstove. I found taking the door off the hinges worked well for spreading the cement evenly and the gasket install. Although watching your install seems as though it went smoothly. Happy burning!! Love this time of the year, though we're suppose to hit low 70's today in northeastern CT!
I always wondered about that brick, it showed every time you put in logs. Sometimes I wonder how you find time enough, for all that you get done. And now a new bigger property, too. Have a great weekend alumnae family!
Goood Morning Al from Omaha. The goats reaction to the snow was priceless. It's 75* in Omaha. I wished we had some of your snow! Gina, you had better hold on to Al with both hands. He is the handiest man I have ever seen. Meatloaf is one of my favorite meals! Blessings to the Lumnah family!
Good 😊 Morning! From Utah! It's better to wake up early! To watch Lumnah Acres before there are hundreds of comments to read! And than go back to 😴! Have a wonderful weekend hope you don't get to much snow ❄️ this early in the season! So you can get the new sheddominum! Doors built! And the mule out of the workshop! But then you have new property brain going so ! I'm guessing heavy traps over the openings this winter 😳😉😋🤓 See yea Monday!
A *great* way to keep your fireplace glass clean is to take a damp sponge and dip it into some fine ash. Rub onto the glass and sparkling clean in seconds. Wipe with clean sponge and you're done.
@@samvalentine3206 it also produces a bit of lye (oven cleaner). My great-grandmother used to make her own lye for making soap by dripping water through barrels of ash. th-cam.com/video/MJVA7X1WSR0/w-d-xo.html
Morning. No snow here yet but we have seen some flurries. Got all our stuff put away, Gassed up and ran the snow blower. All is ready. Have a great weekend. See ya Monday.
Tanner reminds me of my dog. Anytime I'm in the kitchen she is there waiting for me to drop something. The good thing about having a dog is that you never have to pick anything up LOL
You need ware goggles when cutting metal u can get bits in your eye and it's not pretty my partner step dad got metal in his eye was not a pretty sight
Al, have you thought of preparing a Planting PERT chart? This would allow you to schedule the activities necessary for your various gardens (greenhouse, raised beds, blueberry, etc.) You would be able to plan dates from planting seeds to harvesting. Better yet, you won't forget to start the next crop early enough to harvest before it gets too cold. I planned my gardens when I lived in Candia that way. It covered everything from planting sends to preparing the beds and transplanting into growth beds, leaving room for fast harvesting (potatoes, onions) and slow (carrots, lettuce). Let me know if you are interested.
Morning Al, up here at our farm in Coldwater, Ontario I’ve been doing work wearing nothing but shorts and a T-shirt. Weird 1st week of nov. it’s been like 16 Celsius for a few days now until Monday then it’ll get cold again. I’m enjoying doing fall cleanup in shorts. Have a great weekend 👌
It can be worth it to buy a few of those $10-15 harbor freight grinders for the shop. Yes it sounds crazy at first but they are cheap enough that you can replace easily and still have them setup with a different disk on each so no time wasted changing them to the job and just changing when worn out. The cutoff for cutting and a grinding or flappy disk for grinding/deburing so no using the wrong type as a good enough. A set of step bits will change how you drill in sheet metal
In the northern central valley of California, the temperatures have adjusted to seasonal norms. The range is 60 -- 35. The transition was abrupt. I turned the furnace on last week, which is a little late. Normally, I turn the furnace on during the 2nd half of October. The rainy season will begin around mid-December. No snow since I live in the Valley.
Good afternoon from the North Norfolk on the coast UK..sunny and 55f here ..doing some gardening to get everything tidy before our winter. Keep safe and well in the snow hugs to you all.😊
We use the fine ash to clean the glass ,just get some kitchen paper -wet it and dip it in the fine ash wipe over glass then polish after ,job done and no cost .
ok, i feel so much better now! I was really concerned about the firebrick. Had a friend who almost lost his house because of a broken firebrick so i was really afraid for all of you. the first snow always looks so nice and changes the look of the land, then you have to go out and work in it. and the romance quickly disappears! lol! You have all done a great job getting the farm ready for winter. Your prep and knowledge is serving you well. take care and stay warm!
The lady goats are so fat, they look pregnant! Poor male goats, due to their rut behavior (rolling in their pee), make them too stinky to get close to, I guess.
Hi, folks, I have a suggestion for you. Get a map of the new land, and place it on the wall, using blue painter tape and mark out further placement building for an overall idea of the layout. the tape will make it easy to change.
Really good trick to clean glass on the wood stove is to wet paper towel and dip it in the ashes. Wipe the glass with it. Stripes it right off. Follow up with plain water and more paper towel till clean.
We did clean our living room fireplace windows once a week with cold tea. But we had a coal/anthracite fireplace, and that maybe behaves differently from wood.
If I may suggest adding diced onions/garlic if you like, turning the meatloaf out on to a small baking pan, brushing it with fav. BBQ sauce to retain moisture and baking to 155 degrees.
What a great undertaking that is.... to create a new farm. Just learning the 'lay of the land'. . and figuring out the best way to place things ... that is a huge task. Take your time... its a lot easier to change things on paper than move a house. 😝
Glad you got the wood stove fixed...peace of mind for sure. Maybe tomorrow you can get the goat feeder moved while there is just a bit of snow on the ground to make it move easier. I love a good meat loaf too. Especially leftovers for sandwiches. Have a Blessed day.
Have you thought about a small shed with a composting toilet in place of an out house? I was thinking you could have a small stove in it and it would be a place to store some things and get out of the weather if needed.
Good idea. It could be prefab built on the homestead and transported over to the 500 acres for assembly. bring back a load of firewood on your trips so no more buying firewood for the homestead.
Good morning from Kansas. When I make meatloaf I put a tablespoon of horseradish Amat a little ketchup and a little milk. The horseradish brings the flavor out in your meatloaf and the milk keeps it nice and moist
Wet newspaper put into your fire ash and rubbed onto the glass will remove all that gunk on the glass door lickety split. No blade required.. Then use the paper and kindling to light your fire..
I know, we used to have 3 dogs and they romped and played the same way. Now only 1 of the dogs is left and I'm the only human left, neither one of us gets to play. It's a lonely, lonely world.
@@garys9694 - Thank goodness for heart-warming channels like this one where folks can interact. I'd like to think there is always hope. Hang in there! You have friends here! 🖖
We make our Meatloaf in the same size bread pan so we have leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches for a couple days. That pan is perfect size for slicing the meatloaf and putting on sandwich bread.

You should have put your tracks on yesterday so you could try them out today in the snow.
caan you only use those tracks in winter? just curious

Wet newspaper put into your fire ash and rubbed onto the glass will remove all that gunk on the glass door lickety split. No blade required.. Then use the paper and kindling to light your fire..
Great seeing Tanner and Pluto!
I know, we used to have 3 dogs and they romped and played the same way. Now only 1 of the dogs is left and I'm the only human left, neither one of us gets to play. It's a lonely, lonely world.
@@garys9694 - Thank goodness for heart-warming channels like this one where folks can interact. I'd like to think there is always hope. Hang in there! You have friends here! 🖖
Sneeze 16:41 God Bless you!
To up the crunch factor on our meatloaf we place it on a pizza pan and flatten it out like a large burger then you get maximum crust and flavor
Take a piece of paper and wrap around pipe and then mark it.............perfectly round !!
You guys are awesome. You really have it together on the homestead. Love y’all.
We make our Meatloaf in the same size bread pan so we have leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches for a couple days. That pan is perfect size for slicing the meatloaf and putting on sandwich bread.
