Your place is looking fabulous and I have noticed you have become so much more confident with your projects and comfortable with being on camera - great work!
@@HiddenCreekHomestead i am definitely enjoying your progress and it will also be a great record for you to look back on in a few years to see how much you have achieved
You’re a building quite a little Homestead I do enjoy watching your channel and seeing it grow all the best hope your family is well and exciting future
God job with the fencing and the little pig house. Water barrel and feeder looks great also. I think you have done a marvelous amount of building on your infrastructure....I'm sure it feels like a money pit as you add each part but since you are wise about screwing things together instead of nailing, you have the re use option down the line without too much work. Have a Blessed day. I'm glad your video came up. First it was up then it was gone then it was back. Crazy.
Thank you! Honestly the hardest part is balancing work and the homestead. It was easier before her diagnosis since she was a BIG help but now her batteries are on low, so to speak. The kids do help some but its not the same obviously. Little by little is all we can do.
Place is looking good. Amazing what you have gotten done already. Nice layout on the new pen. I like that you consider not only functionality but the looks of things when done. My brother in law used to call that fashion vs function. No reason a project can't have both.
I completely agree and that was a big thing for my wife. We noticed that many people that have farms tend to have things in disarray. I get how the farm can kind of take over life at times BUT... at the end of the day, its still my home and we want things to look decent. Thanks for watching! Im still new and get blown away that even one person watches!
@@HiddenCreekHomestead You're fun to watch and I am sure it helps others who are new to this lifestyle relate to the whys and wherefores. You always give the reason why you chose a certain way to do something. Thanks for sharing.
Have a look at Evan and Rebecca’s website or speak to him as they did a really good breakdown of how much feed they used last season and the one before. For their sets of pigs. Found your channel via Evans recommend a few months ago. Glad to hear your wife is doing ok. Look forward to the next video.
I did see that one. Its tough because the info varies so much. I also “assume” it varies greatly depending upon WHAT you feed them.🤷🏻♂️. I believe they’re calculated feed is based on a mostly soy based feed whereas we wont be using any soy. They figured about 1900lbs, we figured about 1300 BUT our pigs are also a bit further along than their when they got them so maybe its about the same. Its all so interesting. Thanks so much for watching!
Gr8 vlog guys. Yet another major step forward and amazing to see. I also watch Evan & Beca at CVA. He also has gr8 content and,like you guys are building a more sustainable life. I’m praying for you guys on your journey really hope you’re ALL doing well. Stay strong and close to each other. Baz in U/K.
Thanks for the for the shout out. I appreciate it. The pig pen looks great.
Thanks Evan! You’re very welcome.
Country View Acres is a great channel.
For sure! Love that they come off as “organic”. Lots of others just feel... I dunno... disingenuous.

I still feel weird talking to a camera. The only thing that makes it worth it is knowing a few people are enjoying things here too.

Cool pen.
Thank you!
@@HiddenCreekHomestead your welcome.
Place is coming together and looking good.
How is your wife doing? She is still in our prayers.
Thank you! She is doing surprisingly well actually. Thank you for asking and keeping her in your prayers.
Wow! You did an awesome job!! I suggest you secure the water and feed trough to the fence. Your idea of the pig shelter was amazing!!
Oh definitely, at least the water barrel! Thanks Sharon!

It’s really looking good! Country view acres is about two hours north from me. They are in S E Il and I’m in SW IN. Great channel. 🤗 to your wife!
Thanks Rebecca. I lived that close, it’d be tough for me to not head over there and go see those baby goats they just had! Lol
@@HiddenCreekHomestead I don’t know them personally, just thru YT. They are cute goats 🐐

Thank you so much for watching and especially for the kind words!
How about an update on the John Deere mower?
Its definitely coming.
Very cool! Where did you get the water/food 55-gallon barrels from? Nice job on the pen and shelter!
Thank you! Someone was advertising them locally.
@@HiddenCreekHomestead Ah ok!
🐷
