Little Henry, no bigger than a tator tot but out there doing his part. Gideon is picking up and busy with all his older siblings. Truly a family Homestead. ❤️
I always feel bad if I make my kids work for more than an hour or so outside. I feel like I'm over working them. But watching this video reminds me that the hard work pays off in dividends ❤ Peace and Love Neighbors ❤️
I paused this video to go out and get direct sunlight before continuing to finish watching. Thank you for the inspiration for sunlight and fresh air!!!
SORRY BUT HEJUSTIN NEVER GAVE U THE FRESH AIR BREITHING IS GREAT BUT HES NOT YOUR SAVIOR OR DOUG OR STACY GROW YOUR OWN BRAIN THESE GUYS ARE TRYING TO GAIN A COUPLE BUCKS THEY DO NOT CARE AT ALLL
I'm sorry your back and feet hurt again this morning! Rebekah works so hard to get the remodel project keep moving! Wow, moving the cows, sheep, steers, and the horses are out on pasture too! Nice to see John and Sam again. That pasture growth that you're doing is amazing! I remember when the pastures you have now didn't look as good as they do now! Your Dad used to say you were using your "crazy" wires to do the rotational grazing and then he saw that it was working. I'm glad you can get beefcake close to cupcake. That compost pile is huge! The chickens will be so happy turning it for you!. I'll have to try that bacon and water trick! I like the hexagon dark blue tiled wall! Rebekah is a great designer. I like her tile choices! That was a lot of work to get the oak flooring into the house for the flooring crew to use. Lunch, ice cream and studmuffin! Oh boy, digging under the sidewalk to drain the water off the roof to away from the foundation! Another drain off the deck diversion. Great job! I'm so glad you have bees now! Too bad the bees dive bombed you. I'm glad you didn't get stung. Yum, chocolate ice cream! Good job Lily making a delicious Mexican dinner. So you have to dry off Honey and Vanilla is giving you most of your milk. Thanks for this video Rhodes family!
We have a GC busness... I always feel so bad for homeowners who try to do it themselves. It is A LOT. So much less stress to have a GC come in with all the connections and experience to guide your project.
I’m in Norway , I feel you 😢 It’s always so disheartening watching channels already planting things , having green grass and flowers while we still have snow and frost . I can’t plant potatoes before the second week of June 😢 I’ve never heard about spring crops , summer crops and autumn crops before watching American homesteaders . I’m lucky if I have my one crop have the time to mature.. cold nights and cool day temperature makes for slow growing crops. The taste of the vegetables and fruits gets way better though , so that’s a plus😂 usually tomatoes, cucumbers, pepper and chilies don’t ripen at least not producing in abundance , even in a greenhouse 😅 I tried sweet potatoes in huge tubs in my greenhouse one year . They vines grew so huge and covered everything in there, but not a single potatoe😮 I also struggle with squash and pumpkins and never had a bean or pea even sprout .. it’s so much hard work for very little . I loose money every year trying to save money and grow healthy food. But we’re SO lucky to have so much stricter rules for the food industry , all the food we can buy in stores over here are so much healthier than in the US and the rest of the world ,so that’s a huge blessing . The single gmo product that are allowed to sell in Norway is a blue carnation flower😂 Eggs sold must be from free ranged chickens . Cows have shelters and mattresses and good food and are not given hormones and antibiotics only on very few occasions . The red Norwegian cow naturally mostly produce the a2a2 milk( is that name correct?) Butter is only made from cream and salt , no additives. The fat percentage on animal are very restricted , that ensures for long healthy lives both for the animals and for the quality in the products we buy. So we are amongst the luckiest countries in the world . Even our sodas and junk food are made with less sugar, additives so all over in a healthier way 😅
@@malina1239 In green crops in our climate, when too much leaves but no tubes- too much nitrogen, no microelements on soil (can happend). Pumpkins does not like huminity but loves nitrogen. We grow them in compost piles. No problem with that. Yes, there are winter crops in nordic countries. Cabbage/brassicas grows fantastic here because they love cold.
I love watching your videos. This reminds me that while busy season on our budding homestead is picking up as is the stress, it's just that. A season. I'm grateful for the productivity and the life popping back into our yard!
Probably too late now but I would definitely say do not do white grout. I learned that the hard way. Do be sure the grout is sealed also. Otherwise it really collects and shows the dirt.
A horse doesn't digest the seeds that it eats. If you mix the horse manure in with the rest of your compost you will be planting what ever the horse has eaten.
Bees stick around the hive on cool and cloudy days, I check mine between 12 and 3 most of the bees are out and about. I've had two swarms show up this week.
Thank you for inspiring me. I was dragging my aching body today and I saw Rebekah moving wood and Annie (?) helping too encouraged me to put on my rain gear and head outside to start my 2 acre yard clean up. Justin the little tips today were great. Great edit Austin. Keep smiling.
Honeybees don't like bright colored fuzzy socks. Ask me how I know! We used to supply bees to a friend who had MS, he used them for bee venom therapy. Wonder if that would benefit you?....
1.overcast days with weather approaching and all the bee come home, otherwise the field workers are away and the are fewer bee at the hive. 2. when approaching and working the hive approach form the back or side, not the front, and stay out of the flight path in front to avoid collisions as the bees leave and/or come in for a landing.
@@ninabooker2904 just because you weren't a part of the saying doesn't mean its a slight towards women. but theres always that one feminist that has to make it about her...cringe
Rebecca! This might be too late but if you haven’t decided yet on grout for your bathroom tiles let me give you a suggestion. Epoxy grout in a dark color - grey or even black… it looks super cool with white tile, especially the shape you got. No matter what color you choose, you should consider epoxy grout for everything because it resists mold and stains - I love it in my house. 😊
Just saw a pasture next to my grand daughter's property and the whole pasture was that tall lush grass. This was Oklahoma. Had beautiful fat cows and babies all over it. I have learned not to listen to the influencers on you tube about most of the health advice. The sunlight in the eyes right away in the morning was a good laugh.
Justin, How can the wood floor not get wet? Is it not pressure treated? With children and living on a farm that seems a little risky. I know the water sealant and treating of the floors is going to make the floors water proof. But what happens to the floor if You have a leak or flood? Is the whole floor ruined if the untreated floor parts get wet?
This flooring is just milled and has had no treatment. You would never pressure treat it, that’s for outside lumber. These floors should be installed, sanded, stained and then sealed with a polyurethane or varnish or whatever they chose. That is what makes them water resistant but never water proof. If it gets soaked from a water leak it’s ruined and has to be removed and replaced but solid hardwood floors should last over 100 years and can be refinished if needed.
@@toddjones7893 I don’t know what they plan on doing with the mud room, I would not put in hardwoods for that but either tile or vinyl that is waterproof. We had a house for a while that had been built in 1916 and it had the original hardwood floor except in the kitchen and bathrooms which at some point been replaced with tile. If they put in hardwood in a mud room, I would have extra coats of sealant on that and plan on refinishing it before the other part of the house. And I also find that the newer water based polyurethane sealant does not last very long compared to the oil based one, maybe 5 years of heavy traffic like the kitchen. It smells terrible in comparison for a little while but well worth it in the end.
Hey I thought about you Guys when I was at Costco the other day.....I bought some Yogurt, and it said A2 on it...Organic....I'd have never known what the A2 meant except that I learned about that from y'all. Thank Ya!!!
Have you had an MRI done on your spine? I found d I had bulging disk and had no idea for several years and had NO idea ! You might seriously think about it.
The water in the bacon renders most of the fat out. The water evaporates and then the bacon can crisp up. I love this new method. When I am busy, I bake the bacon at 390 or 400 F with water. Check after 35 minutes and just bake until it is as crisp as you like.
The older boys always look tired , but I think it s because they are in the growing stage and the body tired out fast, just growing to fast, normal age
Those pigs need more space. They need put in a field or very large yard. They feel caged. The horses didnt do well stuck in a pen and small enclosure and the acting out comes from frustration. They need fields to run and play. Animals are not meant to be in cages or small places. Show some heart and consider the feelings of the animals. Anyone that thinks its fine to treat animals this way should consider their ways.. The animals are entitled to HAPPY DAYS as well. There is nothing that gives more pleasure than giving a great home to an animal. Food, water, shelter and the space to feel free.
@@hollerlakehomestead3181 When raising farm animals for food you still give them the best life for as long as they are alive. Makes no difference, if you own an animal treat it to a happy life.
You list the chores you need to do, then go get the wood instead. It was under a roof and tarp. We want to see the chores being done! Ok, a little chores were done. I'm glad you're going back to longer videos.
I’ve been doing the water in the bacon..works great to make it super crisp..but it does reduce your bacon grease for a little while the bacon is crisping then the fat somehow comes back…and the fond left in the pan is amazing!
This video is 16 minutes. Out of an entire day. It does show the day progressing but they ve never shown the kids homeschooling in their videos do don’t expect it now although if you rewatch you will see/hear where Justin mentions Jonah has a lesson.
As a retired teacher, I know research shows that a typical classroom teacher spends 75% of the class time dealing with behavioral issues. In home based education, those numbers are reversed. My students in home based education programs could complete a typical program in about 35% of the allotted time compared to a bricks and mortar school. Plus, the Rhodes children live in an extremely enriched environment, so a lot of the time is spent doing hands-on learning while engaged in advanced life skills. They also earn very good income for their own parts of the farm economic activities. Well done Rebecca and Justin!
@@daphnerandall4084 they have only selective hands on learning. Only in specific skill sets and incredibly repetitive. What about other learning like team sports, music, art, excursions, chemistry and social interactions. You can get all that with Homeschooling but the parents need to be motivated. School isn’t just about slamming out the bare minimum book work and then working on a hobby farm to make money for your parents to spend. That’s not a balanced education.
@@freefahrenApparently you have never farmed. It takes a lot of dedication and it is back breaking work!!! These kids are doing great. By the way they do go on excursions, plus they are learning teamwork by helping their neighbors. Seriously>>>????
@@hollerlakehomestead3181 obviously you’ve never met farmers that also play music, team sports, take their kids to museums and science fairs. Education isn’t just the three R‘s and no I don’t think backbreaking work for most of the day is healthy for kids. They are being trained to be labourers and housewives and have very little room to develop any other interests. This farm isn’t even viable financially so they’re actually also being worked as child actors for profit.
Greetings from Northeast Ohio. Justin, I remember when y’all bought Sally and everyone wore a seatbelt. Everyone. Now no one wears one. Not even a little Henry. Then today I see Lily driving alone with no seatbelt. Please encourage everyone to use the seatbelts that are in there for your protection.
😄I was waiting for Lily to do her face throughout the whole video, not gonna lie I felt a little let down. Also, re the Bee's, Bee's regularly toss out their dead onto the ground from the entrance and that's why there were so many in the box. And getting stung can actually be (bee, haha) very beneficial to your health, some people regularly get medically stung, it may help you with some of your ailments?
It’s just me (50+ unhealthy woman) and my husband who works long hours… I would love to have all these projects and food growing on my 10 acres in Idaho How can I make this happen? We just planted 6 apple trees, 3 grapevines, blackberries, currants and elderberry… we have a raspberry patch but it’s not doing great… our strawberry patch isn’t doing great (both berry patches have voles, ground squirrels, rabbits and deer attacking no matter what I do to deter them) And we have a very large high tunnel that I just planted some ‘all blue’ potatoes (these are the best spuds around) But we only have 10 acres, very little water being in the high desert mountains… and my ability to crank it out all day 😢 alone… I do have two donkeys we rescued… and found a wild bunny nest with babies 🥹… What can I do to up our food supply?
Hi Justin. Maybe try some foot splints for a few weeks. You wear them overnight and they are supposed to help keep your feet in the best position for healing. Also maybe do some work I stretching your hamstrings to help support your feet.

Wood flooring needs to acclimate in the space where it’s being laid for at least two weeks. I’m sure you’ve been told that.

save the rainwater in containers off gutters and use in garden!

its ok john if i heard it right mr JUSTIN DOES KNOT KNOW HALF HIS AUDIENCE ANYWAY HE CARES ABOUT DOLLARS AND PROFET :) THAT IS HOW JUSTIN WORKS
Instead of water prime the pan with the grease from the previous batch's saved grease and things go quicker.

You figured it out Justin, bees don't take kindly to the color black.

That is way too much weight for one area of the floor. It will make the floor bow down possibly permanently

I would love to have all these projects and food growing on my 10 acres in Idaho
How can I make this happen?
We just planted 6 apple trees, 3 grapevines, blackberries, currants and elderberry… we have a raspberry patch but it’s not doing great… our strawberry patch isn’t doing great (both berry patches have voles, ground squirrels, rabbits and deer attacking no matter what I do to deter them)
And we have a very large high tunnel that I just planted some ‘all blue’ potatoes (these are the best spuds around)
But we only have 10 acres, very little water being in the high desert mountains… and my ability to crank it out all day 😢 alone…
I do have two donkeys we rescued… and found a wild bunny nest with babies 🥹…
What can I do to up our food supply?

Hi Justin. Maybe try some foot splints for a few weeks. You wear them overnight and they are supposed to help keep your feet in the best position for healing. Also maybe do some work I stretching your hamstrings to help support your feet.

Jonah needs a day off. He seems burnt out.
Your offspring look worn out. They probably can't wait for the new house to be done!
Don't wear black clothing around your bee hives. They think you are a bear!! Becca didn't get dive bombed.
You just doomed that sidewalk to fail. It’ll crack and collapse. You removed the packed base that it needs to sit on for support. Not a smart idea.
Better video today. Not as jumpy
So your chocolate and broth, both high in oxalates!
Next time use the pressure washer next time digging under the sidewalk.
