A few things which keep coming up in the comments, which I want to answer in a blanket fashion, using the same K.I.S.S. attitude exhibited in the video:
1. Raising the roof of the shop and/or putting in a taller door: This is a whole lot of work for little benefit. I DO NOT DO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE in this shop. Twice or 3 times per year I pull a tractor in for major work. I either duck my head or push the tractor in as seen in this video. I will not be going through the extensive work of raising the roof to avoid ducking my head or pushing a tractor in.
2. Putting the freezers in the existing shop: I greatly value the 18' width of this bay, vs. the 12' width of the bays in the garage. That extra 6' makes a huge difference in versatility.
3. Putting the shop in the new addition: It doesn't work from a site traffic flow point of view. The freezer addition works great there. Also see #1; a higher ceiling is not a big issue.
4. Building a walk-in freezer: Bluntly, they suck. See my previous video on walk-in vs chest freezers.
5. An upstairs wood shop: I do not mind walking up stairs. If mobility issues arise as I age, I can move the woodworking equipment back downstairs.
Sorry to hear that Pete. Do not allow the squatters to have free rent in your head, to many of us enjoy the adventures you and Hilaire give us. Yes, I know the seldom seen star of the show. You and Hillary are a bright spot in our little spot of the World.
MERRY CHRISTMAS from your Friend in Scipio, Milt.
Sorry to hear your frustrations Pete. Love your content, and you know so much in depth about your tractors. I would do the same if I had your layout and buildings, you're making the right choice!
As you told your well thought out plan, it resonated strongly with me as I've transitioned from repairing rowing shells in my long but skinny shop to many other projects. I think it takes your kind of thought processing, a much more complex way of finding a solution, rather than just simply building a new space that will cost a bucket of money, maintenance and real estate taxes. It takes longer to figure it out but it is more rewarding in the long run. Thanks for all your videos!
Oh no, Pete! My kids love you! My 2 and 4 year olds are obsessed! In machinist Latin, "illegit nil carborundum!"
Happy holidays Pete and family!
You've made the full conversion. You sound entirely like an old school farmer and not at all like a BIG CITY architect! Welcome home!!!
But were is Petes Bib's and straw hat?
So refreshing
It's in the manure spreader with all of the bad jokes. :)

Such a ridiculous thing to say. A person isn't "an old school farmer", or a "big city architect". A person is an infinitely complex, unique thing. Drop the stupid stereotypes, and treat people as individuals.
You think this channel would have half a million subs if the guy was just a farmer, and nothing else? You don't think his big city architect past is a big reason why he is a compelling teacher?

Hey Pete, hope all is well. Miss hearing from you this week. In my prayers.😊
What happend to him
Anche io sono un poco preoccupato per la mancanza di suoi video, Poi sotto Natale,,Seguo da anni il canale dall Italia.
Might just be enjoying Christmas! Blessings to all. 🎄❤️🎄
Likewise! Missing them! Hoping all is well! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to them and you all!
Just miss Pete!
Great job Pete. I have unsubscirbed from many channels as the creators' have let their egos get the best of them, not that any one cares that I subscribe. I love watching the content creators like you present because you are everyday folks living regular lives just like us. Thank you for finding the best solution for your family and situation. Keep up the great work.
Thanks. Just personally, I do not like it either when YT channels lose their realism. Particularly, I have watched and left quite a few off-grid homesteading channels when they just became about buying and building new stuff.
@@JustaFewAcresFarmyour channel and Dave’s @bushradical channel are the two that have stayed the most grounded and I absolutely love that.
@@AuctionJunky Bushradical is an awesome channel.
Sounds like a good plan. Always great to think a long time about projects that require a lot of money. Are you still planning on expanding the pig and barn too? Have a great day Pete and Hillary. 😁
I want to do me a 30 by 40 x 10 because that'll get my 1586 inside or the f20 or the super C,or the H, or the Super M,or the 400, or the 89 Chevy pickup that needs a new timing gear set, for the 1946 International truck we are attempting to stuff a 454 into, words of bobcats so that we can do some work on it. Lake Forest Gump said "they was always somethin' to do"
I think that is an awesome idea . It's really awesome that your wife helps you. Don't need a million dollars shop .Just a comfortable one. Easy to heat. If you have a bigger shop more to collect junk
I don’t know why it’s so entertaining to watch you talk about shop space but it is. It’s just refreshing to watch someone with solid family values and enjoying the small things of life. Stay warm Pete from East Tennessee.
Pete I miss your regular videos. I look forward to them everyday. I hope you aren’t going to stop the channel!
Smart. One of the things I appreciate about you Pete is your sensibility. While I know you may change your mind, your mindfulness prevails. That is what keeps me watching. It helps to know that others can live their lives being mindful and balanced. Thank you.

Agreed!
Merry Christmas from my family to yours Pete, hope all is well and we see a video soon. Bless you all, stay safe and enjoy!
Sounds like a great plan Pete ! I can't wait to watch it come together ! GOD BLESS !!!
I don’t write comments and I am not sure you will read this because of some bad experiences 😢. Just want you to know I love your channel and hope you are just slowing down for the winter. I enjoy your videos because it brings back memories and I love watching how you manage and adapt. I grew up on a small dairy farm- my dad sold the cows when I was in third or fourth grade because he couldn’t keep up with the industrial farms which were just coming to be. I still remember how sad he was- even though he said nothing to us kids. He kept farming-a small homestead using today’s terminology….while he worked two jobs. Your videos bring back happy memories. I hold you will continue.
Merry Christmas!
Let this family enjoy the holiday,
and everyone should too.
Merry Christmas everybody!
Hey Pete, wanted to just wish you and your family a merry Christmas and I hope everything is well. Have not seen a video for a while. Hope everyone is well and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
I love seeing all your tractors and love seeing them work the farm. It's always a peaceful sight. Definitely an amazing gift and hobby!
Peter, I sincerely hope and pray that you and your family are doing great. I absolutely love your videos and simple, wholesome messages about farm life, family and life in general. Whether it’s tearing apart and rebuilding one of your tractors or simple chores videos, I can’t express how informative and enriching they are to me. I look forward to seeing you again…..but that’s selfish of me. Take care Peter and take the time you need. Peter from Montréal.
We have been missing you.
Well done Master. There is a proverb that says whoever raises camels must raise the doorstep
Hey Pete!
My 2 yr old son, Cyrus, is a HUGE fan of your videos! He asks me to watch “Five Acres for five minutes” all the time! 😂 He’s a farm boy through and through, and loves anything tractors. Thank you for making wholesome videos that I’m not afraid to walk away and let him watch - it so refreshing!
If you ever felt inclined to give Cyrus a shout out, he would love that!
Pete, I hope that bad actors watching your videos haven't upset you to the point that you will stop making videos. You do a great job and I have learned a lot from just watching you, no matter what the topic. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. God Bless you and all of your family.
Morning Pete . Well thought out process .Thanks for sharing your decision for all you want to accomplish . Really look forward to your videos . My day is already better , thanks to you and Hill . God Bless
Have a great day Pete!!
Thanks Pete... love the videos... keep up the good work
I miss you, Pete. I hope you are well. i pray nothing has happened to you and your family. I miss seeing your videos. Merry Christmas and happy new year from The Buggle Farm
Merry Christmas Pete and family.
HeyPete we want to make sure you are ok. No new videos in 2 weeks.
Sounds like a plan! Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks Pete!
Good planning and evaluation of your needs!
Thks for taking us along on your discovering the best options
Great planning Pete.
Words of wisdom! Thanks for sharing your options. I look forward to watching the transformation.
Exciting stuff Pete! Can’t wait to follow along 👍
Another wonderful video Pete!
@Justafewacres Merry Christmas Pete, Hilary and kids! May the Lord bless each of you now and in the coming year. Miss the videos, but sometimes the best thing to do is step away from others and concentrate on yourself and family.
So appreciate when you share your thought processes! Thank you.
Hi Pete, just wanted to say Merry Christmas to you and the family. Hope you have another video soon, love seeing what your up to.
Great content Pete simple and very thoughtful 👍👍👍
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year hope all is well.
Thanks for the update Pete. I look forward to following this winter's project(s).
Solid and well reasoned plan!
How blessed you are to have so many choices.
Sounds like a great plan! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the tractor work & whatever upgrades/additions / etc. you embark on.
Well thought out. Good luck!
Mr.Pete,i could listen to you all day. Enjoy everything you do.Merry Christmas,Happy new year.
If you ever wanted your cars covered, an inexpensive car port would do the trick. I added one at the back of my house so that I could get out of the car and into the house without getting rained on. I applaud your ingenuity in working with what you have and arriving at the best solution. More is just 'more', not necessarily better. You guys stay warm!
Another wonderful video Pete
I’m so excited for this “refresh”. Ever since you bought it. Thank you for sharing.
Great video pete cant wait to see you start on your new shop im sure you're tractor restorations is going to look awesome thank you for sharing blessings to you and your family
I like your plan to reuse and reconverge the place you already have! Good idea Pete! Great!
Enjoyed the thought process Pete.
I like it, the upper barn worked out really good. I think the new plan will as well.
you have alot of great ideas. Cant wait to see what you really come up with. thank you for sharing this with us.
Merry Christmas Pete, and to your whole family. Hope all is well you all.
Good on you! We call that resourcefulness!
I like the new plans. I look forward to watching the progress and seeing what ideas I can use.
I love seeing you apply the KISS (Keep it Simple, stupid) approach, and work through your desires, down to needs.
I like seeing your analysis of the problems, and how to approach them. I think that's why I'm drawn to your channel. Not as much for HOW you get things done, but your attitude towards approaching the challenges encountered along the way.
Eagerly looking forward to all the work you outlined. I feel you have come up with an excellent game plan and seems to me the most logical as well. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy Holiday season!!
Excellent solution all around!!! The upstairs space is absolutely beautiful, so much light! It will be a great space for all sorts of creative pursuits!! Maybe consider putting in some type of toilet (composting maybe) 👍🏻
To a woman, yacking is action!😂😂😂😂
Hey Pete, hope all is well and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family Pete!
Well thought out, Pete ! Always wondered what was upstairs. Looking forward to following you on these new projects. Take care.
That is excellent thinking. Very practical thinking. I love your style of living.
I was hoping that was the project! Really excited to watch this one.
I love listening to you going through all the options for all your projects. You are a fountain of rationality.
Merry Christmas Pete and family
I like the way you think. Adapt what you have and make it work. Love your channel, and look forward to every video.
Sounds like a good plan to me; plus saving lots of money!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go for it!!!!
Classic Pete - explore all options, and eventually land on the perfect one. Thanks for taking us along for the ride - I feel better about my renovation decisions now.
I really enjoyed the thoughtful process of planning space and use, and in taking that time, came up with a brilliant plan!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, hope all is well
Merry Christmas 😊
