About this channel: We are the Smith's. A Christian family of 6, living in the country just outside of Georgetown, Texas. Granger, an author and former country music singer, Amber, an actor and stay at home mom, and their children: London, Lincoln, River (who we lost when he was 3yrs old) and Maverick.
Midwest dipped below -12 last week. We just put a little plastic over the coop and with the deep clean litter our 5 chickies were fine. They also had warm oatmeal in the morning. We reached 30 today!!! Praise God!! Looks like you all made it through the cold snap too! My kids absolutely love when you guys share chicken content 😊.
A strand of incandescent (not LED) Christmas lights strung around the plants works great to add just enough heat.
You probably won't see this comment but I'll shoot this out there anyway. Those stock tank heaters typically have a thermostat in em that activate just above freezing then turn off. That probably won't be enough. Also, in the spring time where fruit trees blossom too early and it freezes out, a lot of people actually put up strings of the old incandescent Christmas lights on their trees. (the big ones, not the mini ones) I have a feeling that if you were to hang some of those near the trees that may help. Also, don't open up the greenhouse at all if you can help it in the days leading up to the freeze.Good luck and sending out prayers for a minimal impact for you all!
Try using the heat lamp in your greenhouse instead of the chicken coop. Heat lamps are dangerous in coops. Love the items in the winter launch. Yee yee.
Your chickens will be cozy👍.
Nice looking, Apparel Amber😍.
You would get a lot of condensation I think?
YEE YEE ❣️
JO JO
Aw the wind chimes were really singing through out this video from the start till the end 💙
Tomorrow we are to get another 5-7" of snow ❄️ in Pennsylvania where I live. For the past week the wind chill has taken it down to negative numbers...crazy. stay warm down there ❤
watch out for the dust from the straw bales with those warming lights. they scratch it up and the dust flies and hits that heat... you guys have had enough fires. I brought my chickens Inside... shower stalls are good, but don't let the grain get in the drains.. it swells and stops up the plumbing.
I like the heat ring on the trashcan idea. Also looks like a perfect application for some solar panels. My wife got me a solar generator (4patriots) for Christmas, gonna run our travel trailer and im certain it would run your heater/heat ring. Also, a tip to get away from those hot heat rings, pick up a crockpot at your local goodwill. Along with a thermo switch (on at 35), set crockpot on the keep warm setting makes good water for the critters, not hot.
Those rings don't heat the water much above freezing. Anything that creates condensation, will cause frost to form on the plants.
Could you use something like seed starter heat mats under the buckets, just to keep the soil warm? Then you could put blankets over the plants to keep frost off of them.
For the greenhouse:
Get a couple cheap solar reflective survival blankets from the camping section use thumb tacks to place them covering the windows. The little heater should keep that area nice and toasty during the cold chill.
Go for it on the greenhouse.
I was hoping for a 'golly' from Granger today. Yay. Love how Granger is just Granger, even with the girls 🐐 🐐.... talking to them, just like they're humans. So good.
Blackberries!!!
I absolutely love how down-to-earth y’all are. It’s so refreshing. Thank you,!❤
Solar heat lamps like you put in the chicken coop would work perfectly for what you want to do. I live in Southwest Oklahoma and we experience the same weather craziness as you. The use of solar cuts down on your electric comsumption costs and stays with the sustainablility model of using a greenhouse. It call be a huge crap shoot in this crazy weather world of the south!
Don't let the challenges of this Tuesday bring you down. Instead, let them inspire you to be stronger and more resilient. Believe in yourself and keep moving forward with confidence and positivity. Have a Beautiful and Blessed evening/ day and week. See you next video. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless.
Granger, hope y'all stayed safe and warm from this artic freeze. Really enjoyed your video! Amber, beautiful T-shirts, hoodies and jackets and tumblers! Love y'all and God Bless You!❤️
Amber you look EVERYTHING look great!! May need to buy multiple items!
Hope y’all stay warm in this freeze. 🙏❤️
Granger, you can try the water heater. However from my experience they keep the water just above freezing temperature. They do not warm the water up nearly enough to even be warm to the touch. So I’m not sure if it would work
That's what I was thinking.... just steaming when its super cold outside... it was sooooo cold here we got some ice on top but not frozen solid with the heater in
Great idea on the greenhouse. I bet it will work. Ready for the winter launch Friday!!! YEE YEE
I think this is the best clothing line you have offered. I love the styles and color+
Google job teaching your kids ranch and farm work and responsibilities. Proud of you.
Love the Smiths❤️
Wow Amber! I love every item of clothing for the winter launch!
Nothing ventured nothing gained. At the rate things are going I won't thaw out until June. Great job on the green house and garden area. Going to have happy chickens. Enjoyed watching as was fun. Thanks. Love Y'all
Get warming matts for your plants. They are waterproof and should keep your plants warm enough and usually you can set them to be a certain degree's. Amazon has a lot of options in various sizes to fit your needs. It might be too late for this storm as its already passed but could be an idea for the future.
Man, I LOVE ALL the women's stuff this launch! I'm already broke from Christmas but... I may have to get myself a bday present early! Lol! I'll give it to a family member to give me for my bday! 😅
My wife got two Yee Yee jackets and both had quality issues. I hope you check the quality very carefully. It’s being missed by someone. I tried to get her to return them but she wouldn’t because she would rather support you guys. So just make sure you’re getting the quality right. We had buttons not lined up. Sherpa hanging out one sleeve but not the other. And snaps that are to hard to snap.
My first time washing my flannel shirt the stitching let go on the pocket
I think you're on to something with the heating ring in the greenhouse, I think it will work great. Let us know what happens Granger 😊
Water will work , Grandfather always used it in his small greenhouse
Love from Ft Worth 🎈omg Amber I love it all!!!! YEEYEE
I agree with Mrs. Alma Trumble. You know that God has you and let him guide you and let those around you inspire you. Don't let the troubles bring you down. Let them make you stronger. Looking forward to your next video. Take your daily journey and follow God's message and follow his continued calling. As always in my prayers🙏🙏🙏🙏
In regards to your greenhouse. It doesn’t look like you have that much. I would just bring it all in the garage or in the house. I think that little effort would be better than the risk of a fire or an extremely high electric bill.
Your idea sounds brilliant! I think it has been a week since you did this video bc tonight it is 19° but it feels like 9°. A little south of Atlanta, GA. Probably, will have single digits with - windchills tomorrow. It is susposed to be 50's and 60's have by the weekend. (This is Tuesday.) We are having high winds sustained are around 30 mph. Gusts at 40 mph or higher. It's crazy. I'm okay with it as long as nobody gets hurt from trees falling, etc. Y'all be safe! Please let us know how your science project works! (From a former teacher).
I’m sure I missed it along the way, but Amber…workout clothes?. I used to have a YEE YEE leggings, but they weren’t super high quality 😬and I would love new ones!
I love watching all of your content!! My whole family always has looked up to you guys, and your relationships with God! My grandpa is HUGE into gardening and planting beautiful flowers!! He grows possibly anything you can think of. I go over to his house and help him out with all of the corn, beans, potatoes, squash, cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, and pumpkins all picked by hand on 1 and a half acres of land just for his garden!! He even has his own worm farm in there old farmhouse basement for his fertilizer!! He calls it his “worm tea” that he feeds his plants with 😂!! I think your plan Granger will work great! I think it’s a great way to save some money!! Love you guys!!
The trees are so cool
Have you ever seen the flat ceramic heaters you mount on the wall?
Vegetables mat under the buckets the trees are in
Hey Mr granger Smith I think you showed us the wrong video before this one the videos are backwards your doing it fine.. I am big on gardening 👨🌾
Get a heat blanket. Wrap the pots in it, don’t compact them too tight. That’s what I would do if I didn’t want to bring them in my house. Thanks for the video. Can your flowers not get put in the greenhouse?
Thanks for sharing. Blessings
I am amazed at how big the live oak trees are getting!!! I think the heat ring is a great idea for heat in the greenhouse.
Excited for the YEE YEE launch on Friday morning
Love the Smith’s 💜💜💜
Granger your idea seems to be good, guess you have to try it to know
Can’t wait to see if that will work heating the greenhouse. I’m working on building a compost bins planters that are deep. The bottom of the planter that has the compost will throw off heat from low to the ground. The top section is 4’ tall planter has plants growing in it. The soil at the top of the planter is season compost safe to plant in. 🤟🏼
I live in an apartment and for a week the temp has been low teens to minus with wind chill factor. I discovered if I ran my essential oil diffuser my Amish fireplace did not need to be on as much and it held the heat to a nice temp. I look forward to hearing if this does the same for your green house.
YEE-YEE man, Hope You get An Awesome Fresh Start!!
Love the Truck!!, God Bless Y'all.
Good to care of chickens to keep them warm in your new red heat lamp.
Sound great on new yee yee fashion clothing, good care in greenhouse, keep warmer of chilly!!🤠👋🎶🎸🇺🇲🤟❤️
Snow yesterday 10 degrees here today and. I need major back surgery plus something is messed up with my heart. Retired in June now I’m falling apart this stinks
Loved the winter launch preview .... good stuff .... loved the preparing for cold tour...😂 we been in the cold snap here in eastern wa ...had some temps minus double digits with the windchill at night and minus single digits with the windchill during the day...gonna start warming up some now but with snow.... STAY WARM ❤YEE YEE
I’m in Richland WA and haven’t seen the snow yet, they say it’s coming….but burrrr it is definitely cold out there 🥶.
Try being in the negatives for your temperatures. And trying to live in the Midwest that’s cold!
I wonder how many chicken owners are yelling at the screen No don't put a heat lamp in there...🙋🏽♀️
I was about to say we don’t until we get below 0
I've seen if you use ceramic and heat it up and it will heat up small rooms....like one of the ceramic fireplace chimney ...heat it with a heat bulb
For the greenhouse put in a programable thermostat on whatever your heat choice will be to regulate the heat .
heat rises so all the hear is up not down where your chickens are.
Luv the new merch❤
happy tuesday to everyone hope everyone had a great day granger in chicago we have been so cold our heat has been running almost 24 hours a day have a great rest of the week if there is no video for the rest of the week then have a great weekend everyone and see everyone next time
Love the winter merch that Amber is having! So very cute! 🤗🤗🥰💖 Sounds like your plan for the greenhouse will work, Granger! 🥰🪴🌱
"above and beyond" is your middle name Granger! I lived in a suite near the landlords chickens and they did not get near the love and attention yours do. And they thrived! Singe digit weather, heat lamps the ticket!
Love the women’s winter line! After this pregnancy, I hope to check out what y’all have; )
I didn't catch the date for launch.
Don't tell me 4,257 peeps watched this and only 700+ LIKED the video??
I'm wearing that hoodie right now in Walmart YeeYee! Haha that goat saying what's up.
Oh man my wife is gonna want a winter jacket😂.
Granger, I’m from Ranger, TX in the beginning of the hill country. My grandpa always made a wire tent over his plants & put a comforter over & around them. Leave an area below them open so they can absorb the heat & hold it in. It worked every time! I’m now in Indiana & we’ve been frozen in below freezing temps for a few days. Y’all stay warm & don’t forget to YEE YEE!
Hello Pamela. My parents are from Cisco!!
Oh WOW!!! Poor little Ranger/Cisco are just blips now. I remember sliding all over the road while driving up an icy Ranger Hill. 😂
What about 1 inch foam board around the bottom that's removable for the different seasons?
It really is Brrrr Bunnies here in the Lone Star State! I really enjoyed seeing the winter launch fashion show on Amber! Lots of cute apparel ♥️ YEE YEE Y’ALL
Thanks for the video Granger and Amber....
Love all the new women’s stuff ❤. My wallet not so much 😂
Now that we're thawing out this week, how did your yardbirds fare...?
I miss the music video and concert
Looking forward to Friday's launch. Really liked that plaid shacket. It looked really good on you, Amber. Not sure about Granger's heated water plan, but I look forward to hearing how it worked out. Just one more night of the really rough stuff, and then we should be back to more normal temps. Thanks for the video!
Suggestion for heat source for greenhouse. Solar heat panel. Free heat and minimal use of space!
Gods Grace for your family. Keep doing what you’re doing. Keep them coming!
Good idea 😊
Lady's winter collection is nice...hope you do well with it..
On the green house...I would try a plastic heated water bucket..you can get the 5 gal or the 16 gal ..they kick on at 30° and shut off at 45...I wouldn't do the metal ones...in freezing temps...I think they would be a conflict with the heater...I've had much better luck with the plastic ones... heater is in the bottom of the buckets.
🙏🏻
You can also put paste around the outside like weathered proof in there
I really like your clothes but I can't afford them I wish you had something more reusable price😊 blessing to your family ❤
Love the Women's clothing for the Winter launch!!!🎉
Granger, I believe your idea will work!!!🙏🩷❤️🤓🤠🙌👏🫶
How about solar portable generater like ecoflow,jackery,bluetti,ect.
You guys make me want to move to Texas! YeeYee
Terracotta pots hold and emit a lot of heat for a long period of time.....something to try. Not sure how you would heat it up though....maybe a heat lamp? Giving this advice from a video I saw, not something I have tried personally haha. My Dad has a wood stove in his greenhouse but it's still not enough to keep things growing in the winter in the north cuz it's friggin frigid!
The cups are so cute. 👌 Love y'all
❤
Use an old wood stove for heating the greenhouse
Use solar panels to hear the green house and animal
💕💕💕💕💕
Yes #1
Check with cog hill farms.
Yee Yee
Bring in the house..doesnt look like that many plants...
Be careful with the heat lamp, they have been known to fall apart, start fires. Hook the lamp to the wall or somehow wire it to the clamp part. As far as starting over, you already have the answer. God is always present.
❤❤
Love the two black jackets❣️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤✝️
Do the goats have shelter from the cold ?
Just make sure the light doesn't get bumped and catch fire .I live in upstate new york and we have single digits this week and we have no heat in our chicken coop
Someone, hide my debit card!❤
❤️🙏🙂🙏❤️
Please don't baby chickens your setting them up to be cold... unbabied hardy chickens is what you want...
Best advice EVER: Put the camera away. Close the YT channel & REMOVE ALL uploads. STOP relying on a 'following'.
Disconnect from the MATRIX. LIVE real LIFE!
If that's what you truly believe, then I am curious as to why you're on here.
Why are you here then?
😂😂😂 they are sharing. Their "real life"
@@KellyKorpinenWell, carefully curated parts of their "real life".
Outback??
Disconnect!
And stfu!
