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!

Wish I was young I love your way of living I have a lot of respect for you and your family happy people happy animals love it👍
A couple of tips, when bending the PVC heat up twice as much as you are currently doing. This will help with the kinks. Also, use two pieces of wood to get the angle and clamp them together, lay them on the floor and then nestle the PVC alongside While they cool. Thank you for the video on the maple syrup. I will never complain about paying $10 for a small bottle again! It is worth every penny.
I live in Northern British Columbia, temperature is minus 18 c, feels like minus 30 c and wind is N 30 km /h.
Sure hope spring comes soon.
What did you ever do before your workshop?? Think of how many projects you’ve done just since you finished building it. It makes you wonder what you would have done to build the new chicken house, the goat bus stop, the water supplier, the smokehouse, the goat hay feeders (3) I’m sure I’ve forgotten some, but I’m so impressed.😄 seems like people thinking about starting a homestead should think of all the skills you need to care just for goats,chickens and an occasional pig.😱wow!
Those pancakes look yummie , Al I like that you shown your mistake on the conduit , when i was working we always said the man that's never made a mistake has never made anything . Keep up the good work
Love the way when y’all build something you do it in a nice way that is pleasing to the eye 😎
Code says 360 degrees worth of bends between pull points, Boxes, LBs, etc. I use a cool damp rag to set the bends after heating. The job looked great from what I could see in the video. Very nice looking shop. Great job using PVC conduit good choice.
Excellent job. I like to try new projects also. Sometimes a bit intimidating, but you never know unless you try. At 73 years old it does take quite a bit longer to do the projects. But it is very satisfying when it's complete. Never stop trying new things.
Jerry Salgat - If at first you don't succeed then try & try again!!!
You can add one more wire from the breaker box to the Switch box and create a second circuit through the same pvc run, you could add another splice box with a left side opening just above the switch box and use the extra circuit to run around the perimeter of your shop adding receptacle boxes every 12 ft. You could then get rid of all those dangerous extension cords you have running all over the floor.
Ken Corsell i would do every 6, like house wiring.
Just a quick suggestion from a retired electrician. Put temporary caps on both ends of the conduit before heating and bending. The heated air slightly pressurizes the conduit and keeps it from collapsing.
So glad they have the apple branches. Nice treat and activity for them.
When you want to bend pvc, put sand in it before heating and bending it. Then you get a nice turn.
That piece of pipe you miss bent, you can add an electrical box on outside the barn. That way nothing is wasteful and you have access to power outside if needed, just buy a different type of box.
It is apparent that a homesteader (on or off grid) must have multiple abilities from construction, carpentry, electrical, mechanical and also the willingness to work hard. But the rewards are great for those who persevere.
Buy a foot long coil spring with an outer diameter close to the pvc’s inner diameter use a drag line to slide it inside the pipe to the area to be bent, make the bend, then pull it out using the dragline!
Nice having the transom window over the roll up door. I had neglected to lock my roll up garage door when working on putting my own drop down ladder similar to yours when my teenage son slung the garage door open. Looked like a horizontal guillotine to me as I threw myself to the floor.
That was really honest of you to show your failure in that tube bending. You could have easily cut that out of the video. Well done Al!!!! 👍😁
Braxx Juventa we learn from his mistakes as well as our own! 😁
"Son of a Buzzlestruzzle"! Adding that to my vocabulary right now! It will be wonderful to have power to the goat rooms of the barn, it will make life much easier! We have been working on making stalls in our barn. I'm leasing my pasture to a friend with two horses in exchange for work on the farm and he's getting me 2 mini donkeys! And his dad raises goats so I can get my goats when I'm ready! I'm so excited!!!! Man that dinner looked scrumptious! May God bless and keep all y'all safe and healthy.
The Stihl MSA 220 C chainsaw is the latest in battery powered chainsaws from Stihl. Combined with the Stihl AP300S lithium pro battery it boasts an impressive 2.1kW power output which is greater than the Stihl Wood Boss MS231 petrol chainsaw at 2kW! I tested it thoroughly and really have no complaints, just an awesome electric chainsaw!

Thanks for the suggestion, I was watching your video Sunday night and my wife and I decided to have breakfast for dinner. But we are having blue berry pancakes 🥞. Enjoy your videos. Also for the electric box you can drill hole into them and use a fitting with a nut.
That was a LIGHT pancake....she flew away !! I want it. I like it!!
Did you remember an outlet for your milking machine? Also light fixtures with pull chains could save the hassle of plumbing in switches in the back rooms
good thinking 99.... a man with common sense.
Al, Electrical conduit is looking better. Watch radius of bends, some may be little shy of NEC. Word of advice on pulling conductors. Start at the ends of the runs and pull toward the panel. It will help keep track of the number of conductors needed. Best wishes! Kevin
you have all the tools, watching all your tools i'm doing the tool drool.
Another way to bend the round pipe is to cap the ends after filling it with very hot water then bend it to shape and drain the water and let it cool. the water will help keep the pipe round and not allow as much kinking.
True, but there's no running hot water in the barn/shop. I knew an electrician (deceased now) who used to do conduit piping that way.
I’ve heard of using sand in the pipe
al, I appreciate you placing the wiring into a conduit. though I have seen others get by on the cheap, I have also seen rodent damage. worse case they chewed the insulation from the wire, at times causing a direct short
Have you guys ever thought of making a portable Pond for the Ducks? I think that would be a neat little project:-)
As long as you’re adding power to the goat stalls why not put in an outlet for a heated water bucket.
Ashley - This was mentioned in video!
You should always use a flexible or non flexible metal conduit. The rats and squirrels can chew through plastic.
Sure seems like Gina is happier these days. Lumnah Inc. bringing her on full time was a good move.
I totally agree.
You're doing a good job with the PVC, but EMT will make for a nicer install. If you buy a hand bender and a bender guide handbook that has the formulas, with a little practice you'd be piping like a pro. Also a bucket of cold water and a rag helps with cooling the PVC. One last thing, by code, the number of degrees of bend in a pipe run is limited. Might want to consider a junction box here and there.
Theres a song my mom use to play for us when i was growning up called practice makes perfect buy Bullfrogs and Butterflies. We only fail if we quit . so great job on the work today . and can't wait to see new babies when they come . HAVE a blessed weekend see you monday with a cup of coffee .
Shari Bushnell, I played those songs for my kids when they were little and by the way, my maiden name is Bushnell.
@@carriecolyar4135 ohhh wow bushnell is my birth name where u from im from Minnesota
Here is a trick that I saw a long time ago is to fill it with sand the sand hold the heat a little longer for the fine tweaks and just drain it into a bucket for the next time you need it.
I don’t know what you were thinking taking the cover off of the breaker panel before you needed to and then leaving it off while climbing up and down the scaffold. One slip and into the box you could have gone. You would have been electrocuted for sure. Leave the panel cover on until you’re ready to tie in.
Yes . Al seems to be an accident waiting to happen.
Brian Reinhardt Yeah. And did he deenergize the panel and tag the main switch?
It is easier to bend pvc if you heat more of the pipe. When bending a 90 I heat up about 3ft of the pipe, that way there is a lot less stress on the 90.
Thank you for sharing...they looked delish! Don't have any maples on her property, but do have a local farm's syrup to use😊
..one of my Life mottos...Learn something new every day...! ...nice and thoughtful of you about the lights & warmth for the Goats and the new kids in the barn!
I would like to see you build a deck off the patio doors this summer.
I would like to see Gina use a whip on al to get him moving more...hahahahahahaha crack the whip darlin :)
The syrup looks yummy! Good job on the conduit. It's coming together!
Al when you heat pvc conduit use a conduit bender helps keeping the kinks out
ya cant tell him anything, he will just IGNORE u.
might not be a bad idea to have a light outside the back door either, maybe motion detector so comes on when you come out to check on them in the dark and maybe deter predators as well??? just thinking out loud
If Livie ever feels bad about that pancake that got way from her just have her take a look at Al's conduit bending perfectly ... backwards. Real life can be challenging and hilarious. TY for sharing ALL the happenings at the homestead. God bless your family.
The world is changing for everyone. I’d like to see a video on how you are coping with the pandemic on your farm. Your self reliance is a great benefit when the store shelves are empty.
Ralph I think they show exactly how they’re coping.
Snow ❄️ going away little by little
always look forward to all of your videos! Hope you guys keeping doing this for all time to come!
Well done again you do the your projects very well !
You would benefit from a jig as much as you bend pipe. Cut a piece of wood to the radius you want then screw or clamp it down. Start heating the pipe and push it against the rounded jig and it’d make it much easier and faster. JMO though.
Al, all you had to do is heat up the corner that was going the wrong way and re-shape it the way you want it. PVC is very forgiving. You didn't have to cut it.
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! Great job setting up for lighting and power! That is going to make everything so much better when needed! Be smart and be safe. Take care.
Sometimes one can luck out by stopping by a local construction site and ask if they have any conduit mistakes you could have. Sometimes this pile gets pretty big, esp if you have rookies on the job site.
I would paint them pipes to match the beams.
It was a lot of fun watching you heat and bend all that conduit.. and it reminded me of the good advice you got to use PVC to be able to customize your own wiring layout... Excellent~
Get yourself a soft spring, with I.D slightly larger than O.D. of conduit. Slide it over the space you want bent, and , MAGIC, the bend is round. Slide it to the next one - you're done.
Love your attitude Al....I turn 59 on Monday and I'm constantly trying to learn new things...even when it comes to gardening which I've done my whole life..if I'm learning I'm living...js
Good morning, Al, seeing you use the heat gun on the miter bench with saw dust(which i also would have done), got me thinking about fire extinguishers and best choices for such?
The same is true here. This is our least-lovely time of the year. I love it anyway because Winter's back is broken, despite what the cruelest month may throw at us. I'm already planning my gardening and have ordered berry plants from Nourse Farm. I recommend Sparkle ( strawberries), and Polana ( raspberries) if you have to plant where the eaves empty all Winter ( you can cut them down to soil level come late Fall). Huge yields, cold-climate appropriate..
That barn is going to be your right hand for many projects. Awaiting goats!!!
Very exciting !! I think it looks super . .
Can put a camera so we can see the little goats and do you clean eggshell and give it back to the birds helps with the calcium you'll get more eggs that way I learned it from a farmer here in Utah
Nice work Al!
Did you find that the yolks are more bright and the shells harder since feeding the chickens the grubs?
Awaiting your next video ! Love Em !
You guys always seem busy. When running pvc conduit and making bends if you have a bucket of water with a rag or small towel and wet it then lay it over the pipe it will help cool quicker. You guys are pleasant to watch.
@
Lumnah Acres you way want to wire two circuits in that pipe, one for lighting outlets, and one for appliance outlets. so if plugging something bad in, blows the breaker you are not in the dark .
Remember code only allows 360° then you need a pull box 2x45 = 90 just add up all the angles but can never add up to more than 360° and I think you went over that with your run.
Al you nailed it. Some of my best projects come from failures, lol. Did you try the self sharpening bar and chain on the battery chainsaw? I have 5 acres of small tree's I need to clear for the cattle.
Gina, those pancakes look amazing! I started my garden, so satisfying.
Have a blessed day
Dude ! I think your conduit looks great ! You did it yourself and it works. What more do you want? The only way I could think to make it better is build a jig for 45° and 90° bends but it looks great.
That homemade maple syrup is a pretty color.
Check walmart out on outlet heater . Got heat light 100 watt . And outlet heater with thermostat. Keeps 10x10 shed at 60 degrees. Even when in cold temperatures outside.
Bull sh&t. !00 watt wouldn't even stop a bucket of water from freezing. let alone heat a 10 x 10 shed to 60 degrees.
You did great !!!
It's a good thing you ran the electric out there. Summer is coming and those poor animals are going to need some cooling as in fans. Granted you don't have to run a/c out there for them, but they at least deserve moving air.
You need to make a '' Bending Jig " to help you make Perfect 90* in that PVC ! The National Electric Code states NO more than Three 90 degree bends in a singe piece of conduit . If more then 3 , it will be impossible to pull conductors through it !!!
B. W. Starkey and it doesnt show it, but its a good idea to ream the interior edges of the male conduit, so the wires dont get scraped going thru. We also used water soluble lube for getting the wires thru the conduit.
@@cathiwim ; LOL YOU telling ME ! I already know this as I am a Electrician ! B.W. Starkey , State Licensed Journeyman Electrician with over 52 years in the Trade specializing in Residential & Commercial Electrical Installation, Upgrades & Maint.
Al, you may consider the effectiveness of buying a chipper, given the visibility of upcoming project of clearing the farmland across the creek in the next quarter and your own saw mill to fully utilise the value from trees instead of burning them as firewood or pile
Break off the tab on the gold screw side of the receptacle and pull two circuits to each one so you can have hot all the time on one side and switched power on the other.
So glad spring is coming can't wait to watch all your projects and changes to homestead
Suddenly I'm feeling a need for a couple of little porkers on the homestead. It must be spring!
Now you'll be ready for next winter & for the new kid's you'll be adding to the flock. Lol!
Keep up the good work Al. Looking good my friend be safe🖒😎🕇
If you keep a wet rag handy when bending pvc conduit you can cool it quickly,and not have to hold it for so long.
I love to watch your building projects.
When you put something that needs to be plugged in down with the animals, cut the plug off the wire, run it through conduit, put another plug on it. Then the animals can't chew the wire. Metal conduit will be better because they can't chew it at all.
That's funny Al, I though I was the only one that did things backwards. You could put a little dish soap to slip that pipe in, makes it easier to take apart also. Be safe out there, always Wash your hands when playing with the animals. Bad Virus going around. All Schools closing for 2 weeks in Pa.
How about a dusk to dawn light in the peak of the roof.......for night time !! Another project !!
Hey ..... Have you considered using greenfield flexible conduit ceasing white for some of the tougher . . tighter wire runs . ....
Encased wire ...... Not . ... Ceased white . ...... Auto correct .... Is not my friend ....
I agree higher is better for safety
Goooooooooood Morning Al , Gina & Olivia ,
It's funny to watch how the goats will walk on the snow and ice to avoid walking in the muddy pathway .
Hoping for a nice Spring weekend for y’all. Enjoy it and and don’t let this Virus destroy your thoughts. Willow will have 3 kids again. The other goat being her first freshener will have 2-3. Enjoy the signs of a good Spring. 🙏🥰🐐🤟🌍🇺🇸🤟🙏
You have added so much value to the property
Love your vids. Keeps up the good work. Could you add a link for that griddle. I've not seen one that large and made of copper.
Heating PVC releases dioxin, best to do that outdoors with better ventilation and airflow for your health.
🤦🏼♀️Ughhh we just got a blizzard warning for today 2-5 inches, only good thing is that warm spell we had this week got all the nasty Insects coming out including flies , will die in the frost coming..gotta find the rainbow were ever you can
oh wow, that supper made me hungry. Looks so good. I have had maple syrup but never had fresh home made. Great meal.
Can't wait to see those babies.
I hope we get to see you fish the wire through all of that piping. It would be my luck to get about half way through and it would get stuck somehow. Love oatmeal pancakes and the bacon looked delicious. Y'all have a Blessed day.
Willow is positively waddling!! I bet it is four babies in there!!
🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐
It is snowing and blowing here in Idaho
You do an ok job by hand. Might want to acquire a metal EMT hand bender to get uniform shapes and offsets. You would be able to heat the pvc while in the hand bender. You may already know but try to limit your bends to 3 back to back bends or before a pull box.
Nice job on the piping again Al, looks good and neat. Will be nice to have light in that part of the barn to see those baby goats. Gina, oatmeal pancakes are heavier but oh so good. Yours looked great as did the whole meal.
We have had a cold time too and yesterday rain and thunder and hale.
Making the pancakes for my mom today!
