Picking rocks is an “appreciation chore”! After picking rocks for a few hours, you can really appreciate how enjoyable all your other chores are!
LOL AMEN TO THAT🙏🏻😇
LOL AMEN TO THAT🙏🏻😇
Saw mill first . Then use the-milled lumber to build the pole barn . Make sense to be using your own lumber.
Absolutely
a full shed for equipment storage should be next to your workshop so travel to tools oil and servicing should be as close as possible. but a bandsaw mill would be great.
For sure Sawmill first and use the lumber to build future projects.
agreed
I agree that the sawmill is next as you have the standing timber. It will tack time to dry before you can use it. When it is fresh sawed it well shrink.
Simple living Alaska,they have a sawmill rig and they built a barn to cover it. I would watch that on UA-cam and copy it exactly,they do things very well.👍🇬🇧
A pole barn should be closer to the house. If you have a huge dump of snow, you don't want to have to walk far to get the tractor to dig yourselves out
I agree. I think a lean-to off your shop would be perfect for your equipment and would be closer to your house
I think, noise is a Consideration..I think its a good idea to have the Room to store logs also
Storage for logs and lumber sounds like an excellent idea!
@@bklockettbut hay storage needs to be about 100 feet or more from any other building, in case it catches fire
@@andreewert1925 Well if they have a dump of snow, noise is going to happen when they have to dig themselves out. I am only speaking of the pole barn and storing the equipment. While in the other area sounds amazing, it's not a very smart place to store your equipment when you can possibly have a few feet of snow, and brutal cold, happen. Closer to the house is smarter, especially in case of emergency. You can't waste precious time walking half way down the drive, grabbing the tractor, clearing the way back up, then back down.
Al, pick up a 5 tined manure fork, so much easier to pick up rocks and sticks, just slide fork under them and flip them in your bucket.. You folks have a great day, enjoy..
I remember using that with the farmer across the road.
All those rocks would make a great dry wall around the Secret Garden.
i just put the ladies outside this morning.
🇦🇺 1/ saw Mill 2:/ pole barn for equipment 3/ Hay storage, wood chipper and log splitter. 4/ place to dry out logs and milled wood ( out of the Elements).
A high school football player who wants to stay in condition for next year, would make a good rock picker.
"Lumnah's Extreme Crossfit Sports Training Center", charge people for the privilege of doing heavy repetitive lifting, Tom Sawyer fence painting style.
Absolutely! We used spend part of the summer picking rock for area farmers. Back then we thought it was great getting paid with a case of Shasta pop.
Ooooh! Shasta!
@@damogranheart5521 I know, especially the Cream Soda. But Grape and even Grapefruit were good.
@@forrestgump9576Most assuredly!
About 25 years ago, a neighbor used a potato digger to clear his fields of stone. We live in southwest NH. IT worked very well. You might locate one in the area to try out
Dedication and down-to-earth approach make you a favorite. Congrats!
Al, I think it's time to look for a tracked skid steer machine. You can purchase a rock hound attachment for the front of a skidsteer. Also, think you should consider locating a pole barn and saw mill in closer proximity to the house, workshop, and barn, just me thinking out loud. Have a great day. Jay from Pa.
A pole Barn would be great. Open on all sides to start?? Then close up the side that would get the most rain/snow??? Not enclose it all. Remember to watch that roof pitch for snow to slide off... You guys are always full of surprises... Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend.
Good morning Rob😊 Restful weekend here. Did plant carrots yesterday.
@@forrestgump9576How are you doing, sweetie? Are you getting any help?
Good 🌄 morning (almost afternoon) to you, Robin! Twin Cities here.
@@damogranheart5521 Greetings from Rob IN Mn
@@forrestgump9576 We can't have a garden at our place... Sad Face
Look on line for a rock picker. There are numerous types and sizes made.
A saw mill is money. All that standing lumber is worth a fortune. You folks are forward thinking. Great video. Mike from Maine. 🇺🇲🌟❤️
Thanks Mike
LOG MILL FIRST! With your property you should never have to buy wood again. I run a WoodMizer LT15GO for my wood working business. Just make sure to plan for a log pile next to the mill. a couple long poles on the ground to roll logs on to the mill.
ThIs new area is awesome and has so many possibilities. The two structures you are planning are much needed. I love watching your homestead/farm grow.
It will soon be “ Lumber Acres” once the sawmill goes in, lol, just kidding, you guys are doing a fantastic job, certainly keeping me guessing week by week at what is next, loving it
Good Day from Kamakura, Japan! 🇯🇵 Hello Lumnah Acres Family & Friends! Hey! 😳Well at least you came clean!👍🏾🙏🏿 🤩🐶.
3 pole barns: 1 - equipment storage, 2 - hay storage and 3 - a saw mill 🙂
I like your thinking
👍🏻
@LumnahAcres Another point... build with the idea that SOME day you're gonna get old. So, think .. EASIER IS BETTER. Work smart not hard None of us are 25 any more. 👍 😅
Lumna Acres yes now now yes
Yes now
Josh from Stoney Ridge just bought an attachment for picking up rocks.
I just watched that vid, and like he said it’s a learning curve to use. If there was one for a tractor that would be nice so he didn’t have to buy a skid steer and the rock picker. It would beat picking by hand though
@@plurmingo1 Well I'm not sure if it would hook up to his TYM tractor. Maybe Josh would be able to inform Al of that.
@@grandn8646 I mean obviously that one that Ridge has is not going to go from a skid steer to ATYN but if there was one made for the TYM tractor Is what I was talking about.
@@plurmingo1 Not so sure it wouldn't work. Not that much flow required to spin that kicker and he already has a third function on the TYM.
The one piece of equipment you should get is a forestry head. They make them for 3 point hitches. Depends on the flow rate on the TYM. They work great for forestry management.
We just came back from Ireland and it's crazy the amount of rock walls there are. Towards the western part they have walls dividing the fields. They were even ALL the way up the mountains. That was either pure determination or punishment for bad kids
I think the latter. All kids had to work for their keep in the fields or animal herding
The walls dividing the fields are the result of having to put the rocks somewhere when clearing the land. Greetings from Ireland.
If you get a sawmill, you could cut lumber this summer and use it to build a sawmill building and maybe a pole barn. But you need to get on it early in the spring before the rain sets in.
I think it would be a covered area for the hay, a pavilion-type building made of a bunch of poles with a roof. I think you eliminate as many rocks as possible in pasture land. The rock doesn't leach any minerals into the land quick enough to benefit you in this lifetime.
Pole barn for hay and equipment. Sawmill a very good idea. A fire tower.
A fire tower would be fun
@@LumnahAcresIt can also be used as a WiFi repeater point and a weather station.
A fire tower is a great idea.
@@LumnahAcresI always wanted to work in a firetower. My high-school councilor thought that I was weird.
@@eastafrica1020Fantastic idea!!
I just looked up when square nuts stopped being used…. Around the 1830s. So whatever it is you found is really old.
I remember growing up in the 70's, all my dad had was square nuts to put everything together they were used all the time as recent as then, so more likely this thing is probably from the 40's or 50's just based on what it looked like.
I think what you found is part of a spring tooth used forsmoothinb the soil after plowing
there's no fence around your secret garden.
to keep the wildlife out. ??
Yes it's very much needed.
Sawmill/drying building, pole barn
Thumbs up on the sawmill and polebarn plan. Get your sawmill during fair weather, saw the lumber for your sawmill shed, then start sawing lumber for your pole barn during next winter.
..also don't forget to build a lumber shed for long term lumber storage and drying.
My 2 cents...Hay storage. Equipment storage. Saw mill. Oh! And a hydrant up at the secret garden (less hose for Gina to fuss with. Do this sooner rather than later 🙂). Have a great week!
I agree on the secret hydrant for secret drip tape.
I'm also worried about the animals eating your secret garden's produce/plants. Moose and deer can make a lot of damage.
I like the idea of a sawmill. What about moving the shipping container up there? And yes. A pole barn would be a smart choice.
A lookout tower would be fun
@@LumnahAcresI'm 🤔 💭 game cameras 📷 on the tower!
Hey!~ All great ideas Al. Really great future-thinking. Prioritites? My 2 cents would be: 1: POLE BARN, POLE BARN, POLE BARN 2) Lumber Mill
You have thousands of dollars of equipment which doesn't always work if covered in snow or too cold. Protect it.
Then the lumber mill.
VERY COOL!
🤠 Perhaps it may be an idea to get a metal detector as you will have loads of buried metal on land like that.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL THE NEW CHANGES YOU HAVE BEEN MAKING AND CONTINUE TO MAKE IN THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE PROPERTY.
I had had 40 acres cleared. Cleared all the trees and stump then finished it of with a rock windrower. Then used a bucket that is designed to pick up the windrowed rocks and it lets the earth fall back to the ground.
covered sawmill, includes portable homemade kiln, lumber storage, log stacks, wood chipper, firewood processing and storage;
portable rock crusher, make your own gravel;
shipping container storage area;
hay and straw storage
compost area
I love the idea of a saw mill and pole barn Al
It would be nice to be able to make some lumber from our trees
Hi Al,Gina,Brutus. That was an excellent 2 days & yes like your ideas for the site also being able to have a Mill would be a great improvment for your farm.
Take care happy family.
Hay barn, pole barn/equipment shed, then the saw mill/wood curing with a wood shed by the furnace. You both are doing such a great job ☺️👍.
Do you want to store your machinery so far from the house? And will it be secure so close to the road, with no one around?
Good points... I see the need for security cams with motion detection.
I think you dug up a “Spring-tooth” Harrow/cultivator
All looking great hope all you are doing works!!! Have fun!!!!!!!!!Stay blessed!!
Yours has to be one of the best and most varied sites on UA-cam. There’s always something different in your posts. Dogs, cattle, farm buildings, landscaping and land management. Coffee, concrete, ponds, beavers, logging, the list goes on and on. I for one always look forward to seeing your next project, be it pole barn or sawmill. Good luck to you both.
I love the idea of a sawmill and then a pole barn (use the sawmill to build the pole barn). Having that area available for trailer/equipment/hay storage would be really useful.
You should consider building a saw mill and a shed to cover it. Then you can produce lumber from wood off your land to built additional buildings such as a pole equipment storage shed.
As stated in video!!!!!!
@@tonygrimes13 Think harder.
Josh at Stony Ridge Farm just bought a rock sweeper thing, Contact him. He had it on a skid steer.
I think you can hire extractors / lifters to clean your soil for fields where you plant crops that removes rocks and stones. It sieves the soil, basically a large planner that scoops up stones which are fed into a box at the rear. Then you empty the stones in a specific location. Ring your tractor supplier and asked if they rent them! Keep Safe and the Timber Mill is a must got you in the future I would say, not forgetting how elevated the gravel area is so lightning will hit taller buildings (so protect them with lightning conductors and lightning protectors to stop Fires)! Good Luck.
Yes…..as you say……. Go for it sounds your way……👍👍👍👍👍👍
Have a great day to all in the Lumnah Universe
Gooooooood Morning Gin
Good day, Juergen!
@@samvalentine3206 Hi Sam, have a good one top
Blessings on all of your endeavors!🌲⛈️🥧🐈⬛🖖🫖🦉📚🔧
That will be really nice! Pole barn and wood cutter barn! Yes! Thanks for sharing!
You need a good rock bucket for your tractor. It will save a lot of time and energy.
Rock crusher , hammer was what we had to break up the rocks. Three point linkage unit did a very good gob at breaking up new land
Surprised you didn't get a sawmill much earlier. With your acreage, you have a lifetime supply to build anything you can dream of
I think the land had been cut before he bought it said it was a old sawmill there
@@roxannepruitt4024 Most of New England was deforested after the colonial period.
I like the pole barn and sawmill idea. Having all the equipment and attachments in one place under cover. With all the lumber you use and the acres of lumber on the property, the sawmill will pay for itself in no time.
Good morning Lumnah Acres! Great video. Keep em coming!!
I use too use old steel mattress springs, to pull weeds out of the lakes ,it might work as drag for rocks ..and usually you can find them free.🐊🌴🐊😎
G’day 😊 ooooo those all sound like awesome plans for that dry area! A saw mill would be super cool and definitely handy to have so you can make your own wood boards and save money 👍 Gina, can you not look for some cool old things for your secret garden in antique shops? Kinda like on that TV show fixer upper when Joanna and Chip Gaines go to antique stores to find old but cool things. Maybe try yard sales or marketplace? The cool thing about buying big properties is discovering what kind of trash and treasures are buried in the ground 😃👍
Good morning Agnes. I wish we had some nice antique store like they do
Good evening, Agnes - you have some good suggestions! We've been trying to nudge Al into getting a saw mill for years... one of these decades, he'll surprise us! (we hope!) Hope all is well with you and yours!
@@samvalentine3206 G’day Sam 😊 keep nudging and encouraging Al to get that sawmill for sure 👍 hope you are well
It's incredible the junk that's buried in our neighborhood. I fully expect to unearth an Edsel one of these days in my vegetable garden.
@@agnestakacs2059Hello there, Agnes!
Your plans sound exciting to me can’t wait to see it all being built I love your craftsmanship
That’s a great idea, the pole barn for equipment storage and protection. The saw mill and wood storage would save so much in costs and an extremely quick source for all lumber in the future. You see so many diy persons cutting and making their own lumber
Sawmill first with solar kiln to dry out milled lumber. Then build pole barn.
You can use the slabs you cut off for firewood.
The saw dust can be used for bedding.
That sound nice what you guys want to do can't wait ❤
Thanks Christie
Strawberry plants take precedence! Isnt it nice to see those blooms knowing big red berries follow? Spring is finally here.
Sounds like a great plan. God bless.
First thing I would like to see a drone flight to see the hill. And Area for your future house 🏡. The house with barn, garage, workshop etc I’m thinking on a 5 acre.
I like the idea of equipment that would be under a roof. In your climate even the hay should be under a roof.
Wow
How exciting
I love all your ideas
Wow
It seems Awesome for you both 🙏🙏🙏
Linda from Ct
Gooooooooood Morning Linda. Thanks for
YESSSSSSSS!!!! on the sawmill and lumber storage. I know you are a good planner, but I've seen some people who bought a bandsaw mill, but they had not given thought to where/how they would store the lumber they made. I'm excited to think that, with all your property, you and Gina will have a way and place to make really good lumber for your building needs, as well as a place (and plan!!) for stacking and storing lumber for the long haul.
YESSSSSS!!!
Looks like a beautiful day there,excited about the new adventures,have a great day😊🌻🌷🇺🇸
Al a rock rake for the back of your tractor may work for you I used one alot they work well if you don't set to deep still have to pick them up at the end of a pass but handy.Saw mill sounds good save you lots of work and there's lot of saw dust to deal with does make good animal bedding ,saw the metal fence posts you put in out in your clearings more pasture cool.
MY FAVORITE NH OFF GRID UA-cam FAMILY! Good morning Lumnahs AL, Gina Olivia & subscriber friends! Hope you had a Happy memorial Day and have a blessed week !
A equipment barn & saw milll would be great Al & Gina 😁👍
Good morning, my friend CC! Thank you and I hope you have a great and blessed week as well!
@@samvalentine3206 thank you Sam and same to you my friend 😁👍
I always love watching you guys build! Good luck with your new plans.
Love the secret garden!!! Great to see you expanding your usable land.
You need a stone rake attachment for the tracker to pull behind or front to get those rocks A lot faster to fill in the holes.
If that flat area slopes down from your road, during the wet season it will flood that area. ??
Home Depot sells a Rock Rake for around $350
too bad you don't have a rock crusher for all those rocks. that would be more free gravel.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the show , Lucky Edmonds
Check out farm equipment, they make a stone removal equipment. It can be towed with a tractor .
Do you have video that shows the lay out of your land and your various zones? If not, would you do one?

Need to get a chainlink fence for a field drag. Pull it behind the side by side or the mini truck to break up the cow pies. It helps break them down and spread.
Or get your chickens to do that work for you. ;-)

A lumber mill would be a great addition to the farm, as well as a couple pole barns for storage of hay and equipment. Keep up the great work

Good morning Robert!🌄😊
You and yours are doing a fantastic job in the forward movement of your property
Simply amazing!
I am very excited about your saw mill. I know this would save you tons and I know how creative you both are. That is going to be awesome!!!!
Me too! Get Gina a lathe. She/you could make wonderful wooden bowls. They're beautiful and are art... good as extra income and new hobby.
After watching you using the drag, I would suggest getting a land plane to smooth and dress out the area. They work great and it's an attachment you'll use over and over.
Having a saw mill sounds awesome! As you clear more land for pasture it would be great to save some of your choice trees for making your own lumber. You could even add a drying shed. The possibilities are endless!
Yes, I like your planning for a pole barn and saw mill. I can tell a lot of thinking went into this plan. Nice going.
Your plan for the higher spot sounds good and doable. " I like it. "
I just want to know where you plan to build your giant timber frame mansion!?
No mansion but a post and beam cabin by the harvest house is the plan

Al,
They make Hydraulic land rake for a skidsteer that will remove roots,rock, and level the ground. Also, make a rock bucket for the skidsteer a neiboring property was cleared and leveled with the Hydraulic leveler. Cleaned it up to plant a lawn.
Sawmill would be a great idea, that’s if you have any big trees left after all that clear cutting. A York rake will work on the smaller rocks if you let it float. That’s what we used on our field and it did a good job.
