I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

Thank you for helping Al you guys. We would've all come helped too but Australia's a bit far 😂😂😂
I am so HAPPY the plastic is on!!! I close on my 20 acres in one week!! Your family has inspired me so much. City girl with no clue..lol But can not wait to make mistakes.
That’s awesome!!! ❤️🇺🇸💪 I have a feeling you’re in for a wonderful adventure! Best of luck!
congrats on your new place
Good luck
Congrats and enjoy!
"......and then everyone showed up." LOVE it. It's a modern day barn raising. Looking awesome guys!
You know the whole world would be a much better place if everyone helped each other. That was great to see people coming together to help a friend. Al don't forget to leave the door or vents open while tilling. Don't want to breathe to many fumes.
Yahooooooo the plastics are up on the greenhouse. And you have some ground dug up too. Great to see progress everyday on your homestead. Way to go Lumnah folks.!
We were watching another channel of a husband trying to build a structure for months now, and my daughter said "Al @ Lumnah would've had that built by now". 😂 You do rock.
Oh that wind had me worried but the Al team carried on to victory ✌ Well done guys! And thank you too drone operator 😉
How satisfying it was to see the plastic go on. I can only imagine how great it feels for you guys.
I'm so impressed at how far your homestead has grown. I know you are already thinking about the next build. I wonder what it will be.
Isnt it nice to have friends to help you out! We do this with a friend that takes in hay every year. Also get together every fall for apple harvest and making cider. Like the Amish barn raisings. Hope you enjoy your greenhouse - boy you worked hard to get that up. Best wishes from Perth Ontario.
Such a great environment to raise children! Teach them about responsibilities, hard work, and independence. So incredible. I really want to sell my suburban home and get a farm.
I like it when Al says... "I LIKE IT " Haahaa
As I was watching this I forgot to breath!
I’m sitting here sewing and watching the video and I got so excited lol. New drinking game 🍷 every time Al says wiggle wire you take a sip 😂😂😂😂👍🏻
I wouldn't have made it through the first end plastic.
I would have been gone sooner I think
@@stellarebello9848 Thanks for the morning laugh! This comment played out so well.
Amanda-Jane Hodge that was funny!!
And after each sip.... say wiggle wire 3 times!
A cup of coffee and Lumnah Acres...what could be better than that! Nice looking greenhouse Al. Have a great day. The rain you had today dumped nearly 4 inches here. We have had 2 dam failures over on the east side if the state. Gotta love Michigan weather.
I’m so glad that tornado warning didn’t amount to anything the other day. I’m a few hours south of you guys and we only got a few high wind bursts luckily. It did start old glory shredding though, so I’ve ordered a new flag, and since that’s all that happened here I’m a happy guy. I’d would have hated to hear that greenhouse ended up in OZ! Not so sure they’d have wifi there.🤪
Anyway, I’m glad you got it all done without any major injuries too, it’s shaping up. Aren’t friends just the best?!
❤️✌🏼
Oh my. I am so excited!!!! Can't wait till planting time. Such hard work will pay off. There for a minute I thought the wind was going to get under the plastic. WHEW!!!!
Good ☕️ Morning Al,Gina & Olivia,I don’t always comment but I am always watching!Your greenhouse is awesome!Take care 😊
Congrats on getting it done before that wind really picked up, that is the major reason why I recommended that you get as many ppl as possible to help and start a early as possible, once that wind picked up if u didn't have it secured in a safe fashion bad things would have happened, at least your local friends were wiling to come and help you get it done without damaging the plastic. I know you probably said thanks to all your friends but anyway I will say it too here, thanks for helping him get it done quickly. (Now your gonna owe them some of those fresh vegetables you grow in that greenhouse). 🙂😉
You my friend, need a tin of Dermatone. I used it for years working as a ski patroller, ski lift mechanic, etc. It helps prevent frostbite and windburn and works on your face and lips. Works in the summer too when the wind is up or you're on the water. Comes in a small round tin that keeps in your pocket nicely.
Dave, Have you tried coconut oil????
That’s been an epic build , when u started I expected a couple of days work ,I had no idea how much was involved , well done
Kind of like an old fashioned barn raising! Good thing you had a bunch of friends that could help!
Enjoyed the camera work. It was like we were there helping. We're all celebrating with you. I'm so excited to see what you'll grow on the greenhouse.
SIGH! Hooray! Great job.
I usually tie my rope to a heavy 2x4. Or a heavy object that won’t let loose. Works great.
Love all the pets! Figaro faithfully checking on you.
Pups playing so well together.
Baby Nora being adorable.
Lil P, Hope and the gals being so cute.
Great day. Glad it got done.
Thank you for your posts. I enjoy watching your daily adventures on your farm. Take Care.
What a blessing to have good friends who have your back when you need them! God is good !
Helping others is good for the soul. I learned by my late fathers example. Short story from 50 years ago. He saw a complete stranger in our neighborhood that had cement delivered for a walkway. Way too much for one man to complete before it would set. He dropped whatever errand he was on and came home, grabbed some trowels and me and my brother. With four of us working we managed to save the project.
Well the green mansion looks really well, nice to have helping friends, all of you stay well and safe. :-)
You should be at a million! I love this channel. I can safely say it is my favorite! Prayers for you and your family
Putting this plastic on is quite a chore.......all the details of having 2 layers of plastic, howbeit, different kinds of plastic, or for different purposes. Good friends to help! It will certainly be a wonderful thing when you're done! A Great Greenhouse!
YAAY!!! the plastic is on and just in time too. Oooh pretty blue egg..
Heeeey!!! Tan-man and Pluto
Congratulations! We are so very happy for you all! All the blessings well deserved.
Can finally see the size of the greenhouse now the plastic is on. Its huuuuge. Can't wait to see it all planted up.
Canada here. Everywhere seems to be fighting weather. Congrats on the plastic finally in place. Lots different than the old cedar, glass and putty greenhouses on foundations, of my youth. When the plastic greenhouses came in it was an amazing innovation, but deadly until they figured out they needed venting. And congrats on nearing 200000. You have the perfect formula of beautiful family that lives each other, hard work, great animal selection all together on this homestead.
Pluto and Tanner are a hoot to see them playing together. Greenhouse looks awesome.
Greetings from PA. Looking good. So glad you had help. God bless. We love your family and seeing everything going on at the farm. The babies are adorable.
Great job on the greenhouse!
To help keep chicks out of the feed trays we found that attaching a short 2" x 2" x 4-6" long, perpendicular to the length, under the tray around 1" from each end, can keep the tray up toward chest level. When they first arrive just nestle the tray deep in the litter and lift it higher as they grow. You can use hook and loop tape to attach the 2 x 2. Staple the tape to the 2 x 2 and stick the other half of the tape to the bottom of a clean feeder tray. The 2 x 2 can be easily removed for feeder cleaning and storage and are cheap to replace.
That went alot better then I thought it would originally. Seems like it was about the right amount of guys that helped. 👍
So happy for u all. What a great job every one did . Nice to have great friends
I am so proud of y’all! The guys that helped, thank you! It looked phenomenal! I can’t wait till y’all are working in the greenhouse and it’s raining and y’all just giggle! It’s awesome!
The whole greenhouse build was enthralling, from start to almost finish. (Roof covering)
Just like an old fashioned barn raising. Get the neighbors together, and boom! you're done.
Yay!!!The plastic is all done and let the growing begin. Congratulations.
The greenhouse looks fantastic. Glad you got it up before any more snow storms. thanks for letting us in on your day.
That greenhouse is most definitely worth the wait! Congratulations, it is fantastic.
Al and team, Nice job with the plastic. When we did my friend Franco's polytunnell it was a bit blowy. The cover was like a big bag sewn 2mx4.5m. I'm 6' but Franco is only short. Couldn't quite reach. One puff of wind and the whole thing was off the frame like a kite! We just had to let it go across the allotments and go again. Glad you had none of that nonsense 😁😁😀🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 coming soon. Regards Stephen.
Thanks Guys, all you helpers, couldn't have done without ya. I'm sure you'll reap what you sow. Love, and Kindness, a few veges.
Pluto, I missed you! I'm happy to see you!!
You deserve more subscribers. You have one of the best homestead videos on youtube. Name for the little black doeling, Midnight.
Fiiii...iiinally the greenhouse is ready
So happy to see that and big thx for the guys who helped
Great Job Al and your crew...
I'm sure it feels great to see your accomplishments....
Congrats on getting the roof on! If you’re like me, that’s ALL I would have been thinking about. Take a deep breath and enjoy your handy work!! Well done. L
😁
Looks Great Al and family, can't wait to see, the return from the produce. love the channel, which is also an inspiration to me and my family, a great source of information for beginners, keep it up and bless you.
finally the weather cooperated with you for the greenhouse continuations
The greenhouse looks great. Thanks to your friends for helping. Oliver Odie and Onyx.
Janice Aucoin those are cool names!
A modern day barn raising! That was fascinating. What a great spring at LA.
Al your greenhouse really looks great, just thing you can now garden with the worry of the weather. Wow
It looked like installing the plastic covering was the easiest part of the build. You thought ahead and got tarps to keep the plastic clean. That was great. I liked the way you attached the rope to the plastic.
Al, it makes my arthritic hands hurt watching you install all that wiggle wire. You all did such a great job! 😊
Roots and Refuge posted their video of putting the plastic on their green house same day as you. From what both posted, yours went much better. Congrats on having it on.
Repeat after me "yes dear, you are right dear" :).
Reminds me of pulling skins onto the big military tents we put up. Neither are a whole lot of fun but are definitely worth the work! Great job.
This is One situation where it pays to have some awesome friends and family that you can count on, amen
Nice job. The greenhouse looks great. Congratulations. I can't wait to see you turn that dirt and see the temperature of the dirt.
Awesome all your friends that showed up and helped!
Good friends cannot be still when neighbors are in need. You have good friends. I am surprised you all did not have rain all day. Tunnel looks wonderful. So much food can be grown in there even in bad weather or in winter. Good luck Lumnahs and God bless. Having a good time watching you grow your homestead.
That greenhouse is simply beautiful! Congratulations and well done!
The benefits of this greenhouse will be rewarding!
What a thrill to get the cover on! So exciting to see how you garden will grow in there!
What a fantastic day for you at the homestead Al, I think in years to come you will both look back on today as a milestone, the day the greenhouse was covered. Credit to you all. God bless you.🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧
I like that! Great teamwork with you and your friends. It's lovely to see community at work.
I am almost overjoyed for y’all!! Yes Sir 😇
Finally, you have made it. I was heaving on the ropes with you guys. A job well done. It certainly makes a huge difference when you walk into the greenhouse with all of the plastic on. Now I am looking forward to seeing what goes on inside in comfort. I think a few good names for the babies are, Buster, Topper, Beano, Dandy and because they hop around more than walk, Skippy.
Ohh my goodness that was so satisfying to watch
Wow, how exciting to have all the greenhouse plastic up! Nice to have good friends/neighbors to call on when the need arises too. Maybe you'll be able to grow some citrus trees in there? Perhaps if you added an additional plastic enclosure, like in the center area, in the winter, just for warmer weather fruits, it would allow them to overwinter successfully.
Hi Al, I'm very impressed. That was a massive undertaking. You are a very talented individual. Great job on that green house.👍
Hugo for the oldest baby goat. Because he's huge compared to the rest. When you were going to count eggs you had a rogue chicken between the rock wall and the fence. I hope she finally got in and had something to eat. Love the greenhouse build. I always loved watching you work.
Greenhouse looks awesome! So glad its going so well. I LOVE how friendly your animals are. They love the affection y'all are giving them.
Al 200k subs is a huge achievement. Greenhouse roof went up really quick. Are you going with thermostatic vent controls? Have you decided on a watering system? What type of fans are you going to use?
Al, you need to treat those poor lips, they look sore! That was slick watching all you guys get the plastic on the greenhouse. I was curious as how you were going to do it. Looking so great! Now can't wait to see you guys plant in it. Olivia is quite the helper on the homestead, it warms the heart to see her working with her parents on the homestead.
Fantastic job with your greenhouse Lady and gents.
That was a smooth operation! Congrats on getting the plastic on! Whoever created that wiggle wire was a genius! We have had 6.5" of rain since Monday night and could expect up to 2 more inches before it stops sometime on Friday. Our pond is on the verge of overflowing! We get more rain here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina than they get in the Pacific Northwest. Living in North Carolina's High Country does have its challenges but it sure is God's glory here. Blessings to all.
here is a trick==a fishing pole with reel and weight at end--cast it over whatever you are doing--then tie the rope to end and reel it in while walking backward....sure makes it easier. God bless.
not a fisherman? String tied to a water bottle to throw (good weight, easy to grip) Other end f string to rope. Pull it over.
Make a Monkey Fist on one end and throw it over
I truely enjoy watching your videos. I am living vicariously through you as my dream is to homestead as well. Have to get some things in line first. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Idea for names for the new babies...peanut, butter and jelly..the green house is looking good. You guys really inspire me to keep going ..xx
This is the modern version of a barn-raising - lockdown version; with just six instead of sixty. All you needed was a BBQ, some sunshine, a few beers and you're all set. :) Great work. I'm thinking 15 eggs today. Dang. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow.
with all this roof surface you should think about creating gutters on the ground to collect all this water for the greenhouse in an underground tank
GREAT idea!
@Judy G.i know there is heavy snow, thats why i said to collect water on the ground not on roof.there is a lot of solutions for that
@@Sbou67 ... so true snow ... adds a lot of weight to the polly... Collecting rain water for the plants tho is a given for me ... hobby greenhouse operator here 10 X 20' polly house here zone 6.. so I keep the snow off the polly as much as needed ...less lately ... but also dirty residue on the polly ...
How cool the green house plastic is up! another step ahead to planting inside Al, Gina, and Olivia. Thank you guys for helping the Lumnah family your Awesome.
you are a great example of delayed gratification, we all learn from you, I find myself saying "I like that" whenever something goes well in my garden or other projects, I wonder where i got that phrase from?? thanks again and keep up the inspiration
That Green House looks great. Thanks to your friends for helping you.
Thanks to all your helpers! They represented many of us subscribers! Beautiful grren (white) house! Al, you have such a wonderful outlook on family, farm, animals; it’s a pleasure to be a watcher of your life. Glad to finally see Pluto.
That tiller is a nice size to have for the size of your green house. Easy to maneuver in the confines of the plastic.
Good morning from the UK.
Great to see the greenhouse build nearly finished. It must be such a relief to get the last big install done, hopefully the smaller tidy up and lock everything down parts won't take too long.
Hope the weather allows you to start moving animals out onto pasture soon, they'll be so much better for that access to fresh grass.
And that ability to carry on creating food for the year, regardless of the weather must be such a wonderful feeling. Can't wait to see how the planting goes.
The new kind of barn raising. Good friends.
What I was thinking :)
Little female needs to be named Midnight! Al, I have been watching since Justin came to visit on the GAFT! You have come a long way since then. I have enjoyed the journey and look forward to the coming adventures. 💞
For some reason I expected you to use raised garden beds in your green house. Partly because of the height of it and partly because that's usually what I see in big green houses BUT I know next to nothing about gardening so I'm interested to see what you're going to do. I'm really glad the green house is now enclosed with the plastic. This was a very satisfying episode to watch.
Now that's what I call teamwork. Soon you will be able to have veggies from the high tunnel.
You have a great group of friends, I like how respectful you are of their time, I think it was so smooth because your were so meticulous and prepared. Looking forward to find out if Al's or Gina's garden is most successful.
Seeing your buddies come over to help make raising the plastic an easy chore made my heart sing. You guys rock and your farm continues to blossom!
I'm so very excited that the greenhouse is covered. I'm sure y'all are too. It will be very interesting to see what methods y'all choose to use inside. God Bless
I am glad you are blessed with great friends..I have prayed that the plastics went on and no tornado. Bless you all.
So Excited for you! Great Job on the installation. Glad to see you finally asked for some help👍🏻Can’t wait to see stuff growing in there👍🏻
Boy, that greenhouse looks great!! You will love working in there when it's nasty out. It feels so cozy and warm! Interested to see how you are going build up under the doors,maybe some flat rock buried to form like a saddle under the doors so " guests" don't invite themselves in to the " buffet" that is inside!! Also, what about a hog fence trellis between yours and Gina's sides like a living fence with the path in between. You can grow vine plants, like cucumbers or beans and Gina can grow maybe tomatoes and squash on her living fence area! Or give the trellises to Olivia and let her grow some kind of flowering vines for color( edible vines, nasturtiums,etc.) Whatever you guys decide, I'm sure it will look great! And just think, whatever doesn't work out, you can feed it all to the animals or till it under for next year. NO WASTE!!! Good luck and God Bless.
