Awesome!!

You know, I don't actually have a good answer for that. I've done that before with pickles and re-use that brine a couple of times, but I have never tried it with the eggs. If you wanted to give it a test run I would pick a very small jar that only fits a few eggs and try using that brine again, that way if it doesn't work you will not have wasted tons of eggs.

Let it fall down and rot in place, or salvage and put into my new house... hmmmmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Some of mine have started as early as 4 weeks. But usually around 3 months, though I have had one take as long as 6 months!

Thank you! Still have lots to learn, but it's fun to keep working on it and getting better over time.

It's entirely possible though hard to say.

Im loving them so far! Used them for a few more things already since I did this video. 😅 If you need more, take advantage of that discount code they gave me, good till the end of January 2025.

Fun little side project to share with you guys. 😄

@WildOnesHomestead 😊

I've had it for a few weeks now, and it's doing great. About to bloom, I'm so excited!

Month and day don't really matter. You need to start in late winter/early spring when the plants are just setting buds for the best results. You can attempt it when they have leaves already but doesn't seem to work quite as well.

No, the rest of the walls will be finished in barnwood like that closet I showed near the beginning. Other than possibly the bathrooms, we haven't completely decided what we are using in those yet.

This is officially my favorite comment, ever. Have you ever been in an OLD log cabin? I'm going to venture to guess you have not. They are dark. Lots of wood and small windows. We are trying to duplicate that look & feeling in our home. We find it cozy. But you also have to realize this is far from done. Lighting has yet to be installed, and walls need to be finished. Furniture and artwork need to go in. I guess stick around and see how creepy you think it is once it's done. 😅

Bora care, can find it on Amazon. Mix with water & spray to apply.

@@WildOnesHomestead Thanks !

Of course! 😊

Yes, we will eventually fill the gaps in with chinking, just like you'd see on an actual log cabin, and what they used between the logs on this homestead originally... though I think we will end up using a more modern type. 😅

It's so stinking good!!

Oh well that's quite the compliment! Her house is beautiful, though I was really sad when she painted a lot of the wood in her kitchen white.

@ maybe with a lot of kids in the kitchen helping it was too hard to clean the wood?? 🤷‍♀️ The natural wood walls are giving me all the inspirations to do things with our cabin!!

Maybe but I'm thinking it was likely to brighten it up, especially with all the filming they do in there.

Thank you. It's really exciting to be giving these old logs (& boards & beams) a new life!

Thank you!! We are so excited about how it is all coming together. It's still such a long way to go, but it will be absolutely worth it!

It is so sad when it happens, and also very frustrating to have no real reason as to why.

@WildOnesHomestead and get this...one unfortunately was unalived by pecking by the broody hen I sneaked it under. Happened this morning, about an hour ago. She'd unalived it when I went for my doctor's appointment. and they both had just hatched last night, luckily one managed to get away. I feel unforgiving of myself and also this broody mother, I will re-home her. The remaining chick is inside a brooder. I am quite upset with the entire development

@lizxu322 Ohhh, no! What time of day did you attempt it, and how long has she been broody? Unfortunately, sometimes it happens. 😢 One time, days into raising them, I had a hen randomly reject and do that to 2 brown chicks in her batch. The rest were black, and she left them be and raised them perfectly. Strangest thing ever.

@@WildOnesHomestead early morning...she actually has been broody for 30 days and i ordered fertile eggs online for her that arrived 7-9 days after she started becoming broody, so she remained broody for the entire 21 days and the extra days. I should have known something was up when she kept letting eggs fall away from her and go cold so in the end I hatched them inside an incubator. Basically she was committed for 30 days straight and only went off the nest once per day to eat like she was supposed to, but also had red flags like letting eggs roll away so they went cold, I thought I could leave the chicks with her for 1 hour I was wrong. I'm giving her away later today along with her sister because they both look too similar and I have a bad taste in my mouth when I look at them now :( I also am thinking of rehoming the chick to someone with other chicks so that it can have important interactions with other chicks. He or she is alone by itself 😭

I see this as saving bits of history. This house was in terrible condition, and within a few more years likely nothing in it would have been salvageable.

I'm just sharing what was told to us. The story has been passed down several generations before we ever heard it, and who are we to question the family story. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also, I'm gonna suggest you google The Homestead Act of 1862. Can find some good info on the nps.gov website. 🙃

@WildOnesHomestead I'm just saying someone got it mixed up some were,,,

Yes and no, it's absolutely a post civil war house, built by a civil war veteran. I'd guess he obtained the land via the homestead act, which gave preference to veterans.

@WildOnesHomestead depends on the side u were on he could have bought it with his pension, if he was union,,,,🤔

I'm sure there's lots of cool stuff around the building still. The property owners just wanted us to get the building down, so that's what we worried about.

There is a lot of good material in that old house worth salvaging. Doors, lots of joists and beams. My dad bought an old victorian style house back in 1980 to tear down. Big 2 story house with 3 chimneys. He didnt waste anything. Had a lot of heart pine. Built our house with most of it. Reused chimney brick, interior doors and everything. What he couldnt reuse for constructing the house he made craft projects out of and the small leftovers were turned into fireplace kindling!

It actually looks in a lot better shape on video than it was in person. A lot of rot, and many of the wood had extensive bug damage to the point it they would turn into dust upon moving. We salvaged quite a bit (as seen at the end of the video), and we are now having fun putting it to use and getting the most out of what we brought home... after some cleanup and spraying for bugs! 🫠

I do not for the ones I'm using just as a balm. I keep them on my bathroom counter to use as a daily lotion/balm. I do, however, refrigerate the tallow I want to use for cooking once I've opened them.

@ thanks so much! 🙏🏻

@ thanks! 🙏🏻

I totally get it, but the land owners wanted it down and combine that with how bad of shape most of it was in... that was really the only answer. Luckily, we did manage to salvage everything that we could, and we will be giving those pieces a fresh start in our new home. 🥰

Ohhhhh ya. We've had a LOT of nail pulling to do once we got the logs home.

Tear down and salvage to save what can be saved for reuse... Or leave to let it continue to degrade and rot where it sits. Makes sense to me. 😉

Thank you!

@@WildOnesHomestead had to sub to follow your progress thanks for sharing!

@MikeL-vu7jo awesome thank you so much! I'll take all and any consecutive criticism, trying to make something of this dang Y.T. channel. 😅

If you wanted to put it back together as it was... definitely not. But that's not what we are doing for multiple reasons. 1. A LOT of these logs were trashed. Turned to dust when pulled down, even taking them down gently, they would not have been useable. 2. We knew a lot were far beyond use before we started, and we had a game plan to get to the good ones as quickly and efficiently as possible. 3. Well, you'll have to check back in later to see how we are using them. 😉

It really was! I tried to tell Dan it was move in ready and that we should just take the whole thing in one piece. 😆

Thank you. We are really excited to see it all slowly coming together. 🥰

A lot of it was rotten. It actually looks a lot better on the video than it really was. Many of the logs crumbled into dust once moved... that being said, we did manage to save a nice amount from it and are very excited to put that to use!

Recently saw salvaged doors, windows and other materials from a circa 1890s home sold at auction… turned a reasonable return, certainly was worth the effort. What happened to the pile you left for the land owner?

@chrisdreyer1406 We took what was useable. I definitely wish we had found the property 5-10 years earlier. A lot more would have been salvageable. I'm not sure what the land owner has planned for the pile, if they are going to burn it at some point, or just leave it to continue to break down.

Early spring when they just have buds and not leaves. Though they are very hardy, I've heard of people trimming them other times of year and just sticking them in the dirt directly with some success.

🤣🤣🤣 Seriously! We could NOT believe they were in there that whole time and waited so long to vacate. Another ran off from the other side and tried to crawl into the skid steer with Dan. Fattest raccoons we've ever seen. 😆

@WildOnesHomestead 😃😃

Thank you! It was fun and we are very excited to use lots of the wood!

👍👍👍

We need to just to keep it from ending up discolored again over time. Also once we get it sealed it smooths it out a little bit and makes it easier to wipe down for dust and such!

@WildOnesHomestead I'm old so I would have to find an easier way like maybe a sealant in a garden sprayer. My arms and neck would never hold up to brushing it on. 😔😔

Dan did his office years ago with a sprayer, and it was such a mess he said never again! LOL

@@WildOnesHomestead 😊
