How about naming the new chicken habitat ‘Coop de Ville’
fjwjr that’s good!
I noticed you drilling screws in the troughs (the low spots) rather than the crests (the high spots) in the corrugated roofing. From what I've read and other videos I've watched, it's better to put the screws in the crests, being careful not to dimple the roofing. That should help minimize the possibility of leaks. Just thought this might be helpful to other viewers.
I agree and would add that you need "wiggle molding" to support screw along each nail strip. Screw one panel at a time so you can reach without crawling on panels.
It’s a new chicken RV....The Holiday Scrambler
The screws are supposed t0 go on the top of the ridge of the roofing sheets so they wont leak when rain runs down the low gutters
I hear the boys! You are such a great wake up call, when I hear Good morning modern steaders,it makes my day!!!
You are a wise man, buying the products made in your own country will in my opinion safeguard your future. Too many countries outsource their production, and one day they may be in the position that they have little industry themselves and getting too dependent on other nations..
New Henshire would have been a good coop name too.
I can't sleep worrying about your dust collection system. Please ground it with bare copper running through the hose. This will help prevent a fire in your workshop from static electricity. Best regards
You are right about your animals consuming anything made in china. It sounds awful but there have been so many cases in the UK of a well know company selling dog treats made in china and the dogs dying. I personally wouldn't take a chance with anything consumable because in the end you consume it too.
and dog food.. poor puppers
vampy...you are so right. My wife and I will not consume anything from China...and if we had pets, would not feed them same. We are reluctant to even buy and use housewares from there.
At first I was surprised your OCD didn’t kick in with substituting the screw color. I was waiting for you to change your mind at the last minute. The green screws looked fine though. I think I have been watching your channel way to long. I don’t want Chinese treats either. Don’t forget the automatic door.
Great job! The building is coming along nicely. Oh Gina, the only reason Al beat you in the race is he put his screw half way in before the race started!🤣🤣
Couldn't sleep so here I am watching the Lumnah's bright and early. Have a great day!
Susan Stanley me also
Same here my fave UA-cam show of all time lol
I know you’ve done carpentry before. But have you considered building some of these chicken coops and things and putting them up for sale? I think you’re building them very well. Keep up the good work.
In your spare time of course. 😁😂
Hey Al, why has a generator not been a priority on the homestead? I mean a whole house Interlock set up ...asking for a friend!😁
When I was checking into metal roofing which applies to plastic roofing, they are rated to last 20-30 years - the SCREWS ARE NOT ! This was from roofing installers....
BS Detector great point!
"Lay as many eggs for us as you can, I'll be out this afternoon to collect them!" Lol. Call the place, "the working girls"
Good morning Al! Stay warm.
What a way to start my day, Lumnah Acres and a cup of coffee, while I contemplate what to make for breakfast 🥣 I like it.
Hey Al it looks like the big screws on the front rafters was going in-between the 2 x4s and the siding good luck hope I'm wrong lol
Especially the very last one! I noticed how fast it went in, like it was going into nothing.
I saw the same thing. Good luck.
Yes, I agree. That screw didn't seem to bite any wood!
Hey Al , Gina,
Gina you might be more perfect than Al!?
Your pencil in the stretchy cord holder., CARHARTT WORK COAT! ID SAY TODAY IS YOUR DAY,, 💥👍🎉🎇🐦
JO JO IN VT 💕☃ 😊
Very White this morning out there and beautiful You just got to love it. I love it. Just about seeing it. Have a blessed day. Keep warm
Al, those Big Black screws, can you tell me something about them or put in a link about them. Gina, he scamming you, Al starts his screw in to beat you.
One thing about a workshop, no matter how big is it, you eventually realize you need a bigger shop!! Lol
Joshua Christian that is a true statement! We just built a 48x36 and it's full 😳 NO MORE BUILDINGS! Is what I told my husband 😂😂😂
I see a lot of suggestions for "New Eggland". There is a company that supplies eggs called "Eggland". Located in Malvern, PA and are a major supplier. Don't think Al and Gina want to infringe on any trademark or copy-right issues. Just a note of consideration. And..I think they have a line called New Eggland's Best. I am sure Al, as a growing and popular UA-camr, is already aware of this. All the best.
It looks like you measured the coop itself as 8ft, but did you include the roof itself in that measurement, it looks like it is more than 9ft combined. You don't want to have to take everything apart! Also name the coop Chickago, since it is going to be a chick brooder as well and still fits with the US city themes.
Next project..a tree house for Olivia???
curious..anything on the game cameras lately ??
..we have more bobcat and fox around our area this year..
..and what happened with the worm farm project??
It amazes me how your builds are so precise. I would be lost with all the measurements.I love watching you and your wife building things.
Lots of good coop names but Moose should get some recognition so I see a "MOOSE CABOOSE" in the making
Stanley Hamilton ... but his coop isn’t for Moose and his ladies - isn’t it for Rusty and his girls ?
Collette Landwer yes and Moose has a nice big sign on his place😊Moose Crossing!
Where did you purchase that Kerr bottle with the pour spout that Gina use's to keep her cooking oil in, that's really nice.
I absolutely love seeing you two build together! My husband never thought I listened to him when we built together, it was just my way of driving him crazy, #onmyjobasawife!🤣🤣 He's not here for the homesteading build, but sure he will be here 😇every day!🙏 you journey inspires me daily to make our dream still come true!👀🙏💞👍stay blessed guys! Sitting here in my little corner of the world wishing you well!💞💞💞💞💞💞
Good luck on dragging that outside, it looks heave as you know what 😲
holy cow- that moment when you realize you shoulda built a bigger barn! lols
I’m in central Al and it’s been raining for a week w no end in sight. Roads all over the state are flooded along w houses. We’re averaging mid 60s and looks like we’ll break 70 next.
One weather extreme to the next from our homesteads!
Thank you for telling us about Michael Shynes. Love his music
Will you be adding eavestroughs for a rain collection system to this eggsulent coup?
Chicken coop is looking good. Those are all good names, I picked one that's not getting very many votes. Oh well, politics ya know.
Jimmy
Her pronunciation is really good!
there's a tendency to go with a long "ow" sound for the O. Try shortening it keeping it as brief as possible
for UNO instead of it sounding more like "ooo knoW" try "ooo_No!"
for Quatro the same thing instead of "Ku-ah trouW" try "Ku Ah Troh"
My girls liked black soldier fly larvae when I first bought them, but then started leaving about half uneaten (I put out about 1/2 cup each morning for four chickens). I am using another brand (Bugs for Birds), which is less expensive, but still USA-raised. I'll try Grubblies to see if the brand makes a difference. The chicken glaze looks really tasty!
The more I watch the more I want to back in Vermont. I like lived right across the river in Vermont. Love watching your videos. Keep it up....
Al and Gina your going to need a bulldozer to pull the coop out of the workshop! Its getting heavier! Wonderful job I'd want to live in it ! God Bless y'all!
The local yokel is the cutest . Good luck
Nice to see a couple working so well together to build things! My only comments - the top of the walls should be double plated and for a lean-to style the roof joists should have birds' mouth cuts. Without the birds' mouth cuts the weight of the roof (and everything on the roof) is not directed downwards on the wall, but instead is pushing your walls away from each other.
The coop is awesome, I'm like Gina though and hope it can come out of the workshop. lol No, don't give your animals any food related items from China. Treats and dog food from there has killed a lot of beloved pets. Better safe than sorry! Always check the labels for sure. Supper looked so yummy, I will be trying out that chicken glaze too as it had my mouth watering! lol
Looking real good guys. Gina really enjoys helping you with building projects. She's a good worker. God Bless your family.
Recently found your channel and have added you to my daily subscriptions! I have been enjoying your family's farm adventures. Love watching your projects! Your a good team! I really like seeing your lovely wife and daughter making meals too! How did the chicken turn out? I am always looking for new meal ideas too!
This roofing was essential for my generator enclosure, so I can hinge the roof and open it.
I hope your plastic roof does not have hail stones as big as we did in Canberra Australia, over 4 inches across,completely wrote off our plastic roof.
Drilling holes in wood with an impact can be very hard on the impact. You should use a regular drill. For dewalt i would recommend the DCD996, its very versatile and capable for drilling through any type of material where as the lesser or "homeowner" models are just not that powerful. Hope this helps!
My 8 chickens would eat that WHOLE bag in 60 seconds! LOL
New chicken coop is coming together, it looks great! A plastic roof without something down as insulation won’t hold temperatures in or out.
Hi Gina glad to see you in the kitchen because I would like to know if you have a recipe for chicken filets?Have a great day all of you!
Looking really good . Perty soon we'll be herring new chicken peeps . Thanks for sharing.
I give my chickens those grubs every day in the am....
Goood morning Al, up late again 05:30 which is late for me. Just watched your video which I really enjoy. The content is so fulfilling, I hope that project makes it out of your shop lol.... thanks again and have a blessed day Sir.
My wife and I love you guys. We were thinking that you already have a NYC now you need a KFC Kennel For Chickens
Good morning Lumnah family. Dinner really looked so delicious. Are you all planning to do pregnancy test on the three girls like you did with Willow? It would be wonderful also to get their shots. Thank you.
It is great seeing you both getting full use out of the work shop! You both work very well together, & have a beautiful homestead for your children to grow up on. Love the channel.
Al, I spend good money to get a green lawn. In the past three years, I've had to use Grub-X to kill off the grubs that burrow holes into the lawn. It's either Grub-X or having moles that eat grubs. Grub-X kills the grubs and with no grubs, no moles.
The weight savings of using plastic roofing material are real, however plastic roofing doesn't have good UV light resistance. The plastic panels become brittle as the plasticizers leech out and the panels start cracking. Plastic is also brittle in cold temperatures. Combine the cold and wind, and you might have the roof blown off the coop with a strong winter storm.
I don't want to go off on a Chinese conspiracy rant, but they don't respect human life. They're still struggling with what parts of capitalism they want. The owners of the companies want to manufacture a good product, but the pay structure rewards managers for quantity, not quality. The pet food deaths 8-10 years ago were attributed to some unscrupulous persons adding melamine to wheat and rice gluten to artificially raise the protein reporting showing higher protein values.
Al, I thought for sure you were going to let us see you try a Grubblies treat. Would have been great "TV". Many shares!!
Arrrgh. You didnt screw in the ridge of the corrugated roof sheets, you screwed in the flat, expect leaks!
you cant screw the ridges on this roofing its not strong enough it will bend the ridge
That's what rubber grommets are for. 😁
So with the angle of the roof, the overhang all around and the trim on the front egde, that ought to do it, right?
@@LumnahAcres Yeah you can. We screw down polycarbonate and the old fibreglass sheeting through the ridge. You just have to apply the correct torque. Plus we use roofing screws with a cup shaped washer and not the flat that you use for zincalum .
www.bunnings.com.au/suntuf-clearfix-roofing-screws-50-pack_p1013426
we also use one of these to apply the correct torque
www.tradetools.com/product-range/power-tools/hand-held-power-tools/makita-2500rpm-tek-screw-gun-570w
@@mintysingularity Hmmm, rubber grommets are not designed to sit in water. They should ALWAYS be be at the highest point of a ridge
Good Moaning...Our power was out, just came back on.. Didn't want to miss the Lumnahs.
Hi Al It could be Chick e dee palace
Maple syrup this year?
Love me some Lumnah acres. Find myself looking for your new videos.
God Bless you and your family. Dinner looked delish Gina. I do believe you can cook girl. Try some elderberries only a couple per chicken and apple cider vinegar just a splash in their water . You will have healthier chickens along with the egg amounts to go up.. beautiful snow on your homestead.♥️🇺🇸💕
Just kind of wondering why you didn’t give the chickens alfalfa This winter like you did last winter
Al, are you going to put the coop on cinder blocks to keep the skids from rotting out?
I still liked NewEGGland.😢
It's coming along looking great, I'm kind of interested in seeing you get it out of the shop also. It looks awfully big.
Jimmy
Jimmy The Midtown Farmer - Door was measured for height & width on videos in this build series.
I guess it is just the door and y'all will be done with the new coop. Sure does look nice. Will you be putting anything on the floor for easy cleaning???? Have a Blessed day.
Goodmorning Lumnah acres from alabama. We got 60 an rain. Tonight is 25. This is a very wierd winter. I wonder about spring. Dont wanna talk about summer. Yall got all this spring like weather. NOT not over with by a long shot. Springtime means a lot more work. Need coffee by the truck load.
New Eggland
Wow. I discovered a one pan recipe for Honey Garlic Chicken w/green beans and tomatoes a couple weeks ago, and it was so good, I raved about it to my friends. Last night, my friend calls and asks for the recipe. They made it and loved it. Imagine my surprise when Gina says she's making Honey Garlic chicken too. Her recipe is different than the one I did tho. Apparently Honey Garlic chicken is the latest greatest thing to do with chicken.
great idea for keeping your blooming pencil, i can never find mine. i usually end up putting it into my top knott. lol
New Eggland, it already has over 120 likes
We had similar weather back in October so many trees still had leaves and got so heavy they just broke off, this spring will be full of clean-up. Hope you guys don't end up the same way.........Happy building!😊
I would love to make it, but my hubby doesn't like sweet meat.
Looks like You are building a tiny home,lol.
Does the white roofing hold up well as far as uv, long term?
Love to get building ideas from you guys and recipes. Boss lady is competitive with the drill lol. I try to find US A products for everything I do. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Try adding grated carrots in with their grain for yolk colour.
Yes, and /or grow some wheat grass in a window box and feed them and the dogs and cat. They will love it. and alfalfa hay would help that, too.
That's just color feeding but doesnt do much for added nutrition..
travin quit putting your unrelated inputs, this topic is about yolk colors😂😂😂
@@henrytayaotao4008 not unrelated, pay attention.
I made the chicken tonight. The family loved it. Going to have to remember this one. I bet it would be great on pork chops.
synchronized screwing is not allowed on UA-cam. Haha. Save that for Valentine’s Day. Lol. I love the channel guys. Keep it up!
New Name suggestion..."The Local Yoke-Al"
I hope, when pulling the coup out of the workshop, the back won’t tilt up and hit the garage door. Not sure how much drop the outside ground is with the workshop floor. Will be fun to see how much clearance there will be. Looking at the video it will be tight. 😀
How about a Lumnah Acres cook book, it would make great presents?
With bees on the way how about Lumnah Acres honey garlic spread for meats out of the oven?
Good to know about the plastic roofing, especially for women builders. I do believe the chickens and ducks really like the new snack.
Speaking of China the US pulled the FDA that inspects medicines and foods from China last week, so you are on your own when it comes to those two sources from China. The cargo ships take one month from there to here so, about April the supplies will be decreasing, I am stocking up on pet food now, as most pet foods are made in China
That's not structural wood its at best for internal studding - Personally, I'd use treated sawn air-dried wood from a somewhere like the suppliers for the forestry commission - it's treated in a vacuum chamber and when you cut it you can see it's treated right through not like some from DIY stores - do it right it will outlive you - sadly that wood you are using you will be showing distress within the decade
Olivia looks so much like her mom.
I would call the new chicken house: the "Lumnah Chicken Factory"
Another great video, Question for you. Where do you buy those long screws? I live in Puerto Rico and I stopped by the local Home Depot and couldn't find them.I didn't asked. I need a length of 8 inches to fix a wobb;y table that my sister is attached to. Any help would help, thanks
Are you sure Caleb and Zeke are goats? They look like refugees from a rock and roll tour from the 1970s. I know they're teenagers but that's no excuse. Our girls love those crunchy worm treats. You named the ducks. Our ducks died. I can't take the heartache. I miss CWC. and our ducks.
Where did you get your plastic roofing from? I was trying to tell what the manufacturer was from the label but went too fast past it. Thanks!
Have you asked your vet to scan the goats to check on whether they are pregnant? Might give you a heads-up on how many babies to expect and who from. After all, there's only a couple of months to prepare. Just in case anyone asks: Grubblies are delicious. :D
Must real nice to work on big projects like this thru winter and get head start on summer
I don’t like to criticise, But perhaps rethink your screw positioning so that your screws go solidly into the centre of the timber you are fixing to (rafters).
I see that you are following the totally weird American habit of putting the fixings in the valleys of your corrugated roofing thereby ensuring that if there is even a miniscule chance of any water getting in, it will. Oh well you lot pioneered “Designed Obsolescence” carry on .....
thought you should screw in the top of the corrugated roof so there be no leaks , love to hear how it turns out but it does look great wish I could build like that also I really hope that get out of there look way close
Will you be putting some insulation under the roof for warmth
I am been lead to believe that ducks would normally eat their food under water as they have a filtering system build into their beak due to the fact that they have no intestines compared to a chook and for that reason duck eggs should only be used in cakes where the process calls for a high temperature and a duration of at least 8 minutes to kill off any possible contaminants.....just saying....I really like the episodes and great progress you and your family are making...Cheers from Australia...I also hope the number plates are retained with the new coop in memory of CWC...
Hi Al..Question..You used to milk Willow a lot. Did you ever make cheese? A video on that would be interesting. Thanks Carl.
