Katie you are such a gutsy broad. And I love how Greg never panders to you, despite my first instinct being, help her dude! So much admiration for your tenacity from an old lady in Ottawa. You both are loved by all of us who enjoy your homestead
she is the tenacity of the 2, he just wings everything, usually things need to be done over.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP. I know every relationship has its secrets and battles but you two, on camera, brighten my day with your teamwork, kindness to each other, quality of your crafts (wood, garden, animal husbandry, etc.). A real joy to watch your video.
Despite Juniper being a pain in the butt, all the dogs are so good with the chickens, especially the brown one who was enamored by the baby chicks, so cute!
He loves to herd them!
I love the way Katie talks to all the animals. Anyone who feels the way she does about our animal friends is a good person. Thank you Katie!
Hi Katie and Greg. I absolutely loved the opening 3+ minues with all the crew out for a relaxing walk. The sight and sounds of the rushing water was so very enjoyable! That must be close by so why can't you get the water from that source, rather that the other setup? The fencing / gate project came out great - well done Katie and Greg!! Watching you both is an absolute joy. Over time, it has been a pleasure to watch you both change and grow. Greg, you are very skilled and a master homesteader IMO and since you were able to quit your job, you have gotten much more relaxed and outgoing and provide a lot of narrative on the videos which is nice. Katie, I have said many times, how impressive you are and how very proud I feel watching you do what you do and this video was no exception. You have come so far and grown into a true pioneer woman who is skilled and self sufficient in every sense. Greg, you are a luck man; you two seem to bring out the best in each other Have a great week. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
you still have the most wonderful B Roll footage on the interweb
I enjoy how much you interact with your animals. It makes great videos and a big smile to my face. We used to have chickens come over to our property from our friend's house and my late wife named them all and always talked to them and made sure to have something to feed them.
Always a feel good moment, to watch your video's. 113,000 Subscribers. Awesome!!
great job on the Fence . A couple of things you might want to do is add a wheel to the larger gates and replace the screws in the gates with nuts and bolts.
Great job Guy’s ….securing the garden, chickens & goats! Katie starting the mill was too …cool! Another gate made too. Hope you guy’s have a nice trip & you get to relax!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
We are so jealous that you’re planting! Our lake is finally showing some signs of serious thawing. And the ground is starting to thaw.
Is that stream at the beginning on your property?? It’s awesome!
On your chickens, clip just one wing instead of both when you're trimming the feathers. They will attempt to fly but that throws them off balance to where they can't fly.
Another thing to consider is choosing breeds of chickens that don't fly so well. The old boring heavy breeds like White Rock, Buffs, etc were the standard for a reason, they like to stick close to home and sleep in the house. I've raised many flighty birds that would give wild jungle fowl a run for their money and it is fun, they sleep in the trees if given half a chance and don't grow old, they are no competition for the birds of prey, foxes, dogs, etc.
You guys have worked so hard on your fence project. It looks great. I love how you used trees from your property.
How did I miss the beginning of this video? With the goats 🐐
What an awesome walk with all that to see and live near! 🥰😍🥳🥰😍🥳... job well done on fencing... things are coming together nicely... we still watching ❤❤❤
Woohoo so exciting. The fence is great. I used to live on 17 acre lot with my then girlfriend, we had 70 goats, and we lived in an old timber framed house right next to a massive forest. These wood posts are good enough for a couple of years and in my opinion, they look great. But I would start considering concrete posts, I had 1/10 of the plot fenced like this right next to the barn, so a sizable plot where i could spread hey in the winter, so they had some activity, and in the summer they had a stable supply of food that they had access too in a case when I had to go to town etc. and its indestructible. A good measure for when a caretaker has to come and take care of the animals for few days max. People who didn't keep goats don't know, but they are one stubborn animal. The grass is always greener on the other side for a goat. They will try to destroy every fence you throw at them. For those who might misunderstand we had to fence them to protect them from wolves. My neighbour lost 30 sheep overnight, wolves didn't eat them, the mothers trained the young on the sheep on how to kill. He lost all 30 of his goats and had to somehow deal with the aftermath of this, so its not easy especially because people are attached to their animals.
predicting that maintaining this fence thing is going to become the bane of your life
Turned out so great you guys!! Yay for being 98% done! 😂 Love you guys! ❤
hello Kate & Greg & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Kate & Greg & Friends Randy
Beautiful herd of pets
On the 17 foot gate, I would add a wheel support to help with the length and weight
What you do for your animals is great, but it's not so easy to make everyting so close because the animals always find something where they can escape from your property. You have done everything to make it like a Fort Knox, it's fun for them to escape. Have a nice weekend and greets from The Netherlands.
I could just sit and relax and listen to that water all day
Hard working and decent content
Watching that spring runnoff makes me think that you might consider upping your cistern capacity; for your convienence as well as having water on hand for fire suppression and irrigation. Living rural means having to be prepared to fight fires and keeping a fire suppession zone around your home.
You must love the animals so much. that you talk to them if it are little children
The fence turned out great. You two work pretty hard and together really well. Keep up with the great videos!
Something I’ve been noticing is that UA-cam is doing it again and unsubscribing people again so you might want to let your viewers know to check to be sure they are still subscribed
Katy, keep those seeds moist the wind dries them out too, good luck!!!
Have watched you from Day one hats off to y'all
Beautiful wooden gates
Hi to you both. Gotta admit, I enjoy your goat walks!
Awesome video.
GOOD JOB U2! ....LOOKING GOOD!... LOVE THEM BIRDS CUTE!
what good fellows you are.guys.
Gates are like the icing on the cake. Really liked how you made your own compared to cookie cutter big box store assembly line dittos 😅
When we had chickens growing up the same problem happen. So Mom only clipped one side of the wings. It makes them a little off balanced and they can't fly over fences. It doesn't hurt the chickens but makes them unable to fly very high.
Love your animals ❤️
A thought!!! Transplant some of the Day Lillies around your fence that is close to the house!!!
Pulling by the stem can break the roots
Great Job on your fence and your gates. Your goats make good lawn mowers, they keep the grass cut haha.👍👍
I love how y’all talk and pick and play while you’re working. It makes me miss my husband even more.
Oh, how I LOVE, LOVE your videos!! I’ll say it again - you two work together soo well. Katie, you will do anything, or give it give it a try. Greg, we all know that you will not turn your head away from a challenge! When Katie as cutting off the extra wire on the gate, and struggling, Greg magically stepped in and gave her the hammer to finish the nails while he finished cutting the wire. My point is that one of you step in to help when you see that the other needs it. Your Texas grandma/aunt is so proud of you and what the two of you have accomplished!
If your clipping both wings they will still be balanced. Just clip one wing..
Great video, fencing is not fun. Great interaction with the all the animals. Fun to watch and see your progress.
Goat nose butt, so cute. Thx for bringing the ole guy along, no not Greg 😢. What an adorable family
Great Job guys!😇!😇!😇
Y'all are so good about not having much waste your very Frugal niice to see young people not being wasteful Great Job Katie hope yoy Gardn will be Bountiful!can't wait for next video.
That is beautiful water.
Fencing is hard work.
Hello Katie and Greg. Great video showing all the improvements you made. Have fun on your trip coming up.
Look at how far you have come in the last 2 years .. Awesome.. It is looking good
@ 27:25 lesser known thing is if you tie a string to that hole in top of latch and drill hole in post the sting goes through the hole and you tie to a washer and the gate can be opened from the inside by pulling the washer that is tied to the string that is knotted to latch
Yet another great show, keep them coming 😀
Wow 98% done!! 🎉
Your jobs are getting smaller keep up the hard work and thanks for the video God bless you, s amen
Good work all round you two🎉
Great content guys 😎. Thanks for sharing. I may have said this before but it's worth saying again. Your place is looking great 😃.
Such a phenomenal job on the property....all the improvements and various projects are really looking great and paying off! It seems like only last week you guys were clearing the land getting ready for the foundation of the house! Now look at all you guys have accomplished! The old saying about 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration sure does fit you guys! Love the videos and thanks for taking us along to share a glimpse into your lives! Bless you and the road ahead!
10:55 Juniper want's to grow some more fetch balls.
Pretty water fall cute goats.hope you get to keep yr garden.
Lovit great job and love the yellow flowers too the gates are up and you both are happy chappies amazing
Ustedes me. encantan como son. Felicidades por su hermosa casa
❤ get some kyeane pepper or some strong pepper where they been digging it has always worked for me,and you will know who's digging when they sneeze
Awesome. My latest book involves a chicken, paramedic Chris and the runaway chicken.
I love seeing how well you two work together for getting projects completed!
какие вы молодцы.ребята.
Katie, you should write a children's book , Juniper and the chickens.
Great job securing the chickens in, wildlife out. The hen with chick's was being corralled by red dog, cool. The fence project turned out great, and I know alot of hard work on ya'lls part. Love ya'll ❤
I always enjoy watching you guys's videos I love all of your animals I think they all have their own distinct personality especially them goats and them chickens I tell you, you guys keep up the good work can't wait to see what you guys have planned for this year 👍👍😊
You all should make goat cheese when everything settle down with fixing the farm
Hi Guys My understanding is u just clip one wing love your up loads
Great Job.
When you cut feathers remember only one side then thy
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Hi kids, looking good hard work pays off.
Good morning Greg and Katie please give yourselves more credit you are the hardest working couple on UA-cam that there is most couples that fence would have taken months you guys did it in about as many weeks! 😊😊😊😊
Great job 👏🏽👏🏽
Your videos are the first one I look for every day. Glad to hear you're taking a break.
Is that where the song walk like an Egyptian comes from😅
Greg and Katie I couldn't help but notice the creek with the waterfall, that would be a fantastic place for a turbine for Electric power to keep batteries, charged or other functions you can purchase a turbine for anywhere from 100/ 500 bucks and have an emergency back-up power if that small fall doesn't freeze during the winter you will always have to the Homestead
Thank you for the nice reply, as I'm always watching your video and what your doing on the Homestead, I am trying to think of things I would do there, One being putting a Turbin in that creek, I think only 3 wires are required a ground common and neutral to make it work I THINK LOL
@ 28:50 simple solutions are the best solutions !!!
I LOVE YOU TWO YOU WORK SO HARD , AND IT WILL PAY OFF IN THE FALL WHEN YOU HARVEST YOUR GARDEN . I LOVE YOUR GOATS AND HOW THET LISTEN TO YOUR COMMANDS.YOUR PLACE IS LOOKING REALLY GOOD.HAVE A BLESSED DAY
Great work and it`s work 👍
WOO HOO!!! ✅.
You are getting the whole place to where you can live very comfortably about the time you turn 70 you should be all set great work.
To prevent chickens from flying, you only need to cut 1 wing. If you cut 2 wings, they will still fly. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Yay! Finally!😊 Goodluck on the Egyptian walking onions! There’s more seedlings here waiting for you.😊
Love your videos ! 😊
Yall need a MANTIS Garden Tiller.
Wowsers..you have done ever so much with your property..looking awesone..enjoy your weekend !!cheers and hugz From The Yukon Territory and purrz from Bob-0-Lynx 😊❤😊
Great job family🎉
The place is really looking "Comfy". You are getting moved in now and turning it into a home rather than a construction project. It would be so nice if that stream ran through your property near your house.
Have some fun,
jack
I always used to have problems with my chicken getting in my garden all the time until I put up stuff that the chickens can't see the garden and haven't had problems anymore Seems like if they can see anything green that tried to get to it no matter what I've caught wings I usually end up cutting both of the wings but they can still jump 3 or 4 feet high
Loved the start of the video out for a hike with the critters that is so adorable your both so good to them . Love how you both work together to get the various projects done . Katie you sure have come along way with your skills . Such epic improvements around your off grid home such a big accomplishment.
nice jobs guys, its looks good
Garden fencing. Looks really good. I wonder if the goats might push thru underneath it. (They are in their own compound later though?) A Length of wood at the bottom connecting the posts would solve this, if it is deemed a concern. Best regards, phil 🇬🇧
Hi, everything is looking super cool. Keep up the good work. Hello from Puerto Rico.
Nice family, you’ve secured your encampment and animals are safe as possible, hope your garden seeds sprout in weeks to come and the chickens find their perimeter secure from the garden. All is well, get away for a while, you’ve been working very hard on the fencing, congratulations and need a break. Be well and safe and have a restful time ❤.
I would love to be able to use that plastic fencing that you guys use I even have a little greenhouse that I would like to use but I know that the rats would just chewed all apart
Following you on your adventure from downeast (PEI). Great channel!
