I have always heard of putting some sort of steel mesh down on the ground that goes past the structure and buried so predators won’t be able to burrow under the structure and kill the chickens
Also, use as fine a mesh as possible on the walls to stop the "Joe Blakes". At least that's what they do here in Australia.
Also the mesh underground needs to curve outwards, not into the pen. 🇦🇺
Putting the mess at least 1 foot down and 1 to 2 feet out. This way it will keep the coyote and other from digging under it.
Keep up the great work! 😊👍
We did this in our Veg Garden to keep out rodents and his worked great for the past 10yrs
From a 20 yr back injury sufferer I'll give you the same advise I gave my S-I-L who has a weak spot in his back also.... STRENGTHEN the MUSCLES ON BOTH SIDES OF YOUR WEAK SPOT. Work on both sides of muscles so they are EVEN. Being EVEN in STRENGTH is the secret to eliminating future injuries. You should have a daily routine of 10-20 mins protecting your back and NOW before starting on the house is time to start. Keep your faith & prayer life strong too. Many blessings from Aussie.🤗🇦🇺
Also if you can see a very good physical therapist to get a good look at your muscle groups and give you an accurate exercise/therapy program!
I thought I just had a bad back but I found out my body "reroutes" using different muscle groups than a motion is supposed to use since that one is so weak. My traps are so weak from long term pain and favoring that I unconsciously use the front of my chest and neck instead of using my back. I have to do special exercises that forces me to isolate and actually engage the traps instead of whatever nearby muscles I can use instead.
Having a genius therapist can truly help you understand what is truly going on within your body. Another therapist just said I have weak traps and kept me doing routines that only furthered the problem because how my body engages the muscles incorrectly.
As a massage Therapist I agree!!
I'm bldg my chicken shack now I've had back surgery in 2010 and have been told I need another and to that I say 🖕. Thnk God for pain meds 👍👍👍👍
Tip of day when sweeping a concrete floorfill any bucket with sawdust soak it well with water and sprinkle over the floor before brushing keeps the dust down saves having to clean that rv and every surface in the barn take care all Bill from the UK😉❤👌👌
Or just suck it up with a wet/dry vac?
Concrete dist is a bad thing for the lungs.... Being in the industrial constitution/plant work I have seen it to many times. Always use some form of dust down❗ Forget about the trailer 🤣
A weed sprayer pump with just water would work good as a mister
you two have turned me on to a whole new genre of beautiful music
Keep up a daily stretching regimen. Don't overdo it. Build it up over time do it consistently and you'll see real and permanent benefits.
amen on the stretch and warmup.. best thing for the lower back
recommend a lite cardio in morning with stretch before and after.. along with back stretch through the day.. last thing u want is back tightening through the day
with all both of you do.. a lite morning and possible evening exercise program could benefit both of you best thing could incorporate the kids to teach the next lvl of healthy living .. sound mind , sound body, sound life
As a single mom of 2 teenage boys we decided to do something similar & moving out of the city to live the off grid lifestyle. You guys are my inspiration 🥰
I'm a single mom with 2 teen boys who's also left the city for off grid life in the country. And my middle name is also Lynn lol Good luck on your journey!!
Wow! You have got some grit! I am humbled. Good luck!
Do you have a channel?
Are the kids supportive of the changes or do you think it will be difficult?
Watch out for bears. The wild will take you if your not careful.
I think Jeremy could do voice over work , he has such a strong unique voice !! You all are all amazing folks !!
Audiobooks on audible.com.
Bill here...I swear, I hear "The Rock" when I'm not looking at the video...just listening to Jeremy...LOL!!
I noticed that beautiful baritone too. No worries though, I am 75 mpm to five boys. I bet his singing voice is great.
No matter how bad a day this old lady is having you always make me smile and I look forward to your videos
Take good care of yourself, and glad to see you up and doing what you love. Taking care of your family.
God Bless You Guys!! So glad you are doing better!!! Looking forward to seeing your Large Home Build!!
Great to see Jeremy back on his feet again and the great energy you two project. Love from Holland.
Love seeing young couples build the life they want
Don't forget weasels and martens kill chickens up there. A solar powered 1 foot high electric chicken wire fence staked 1 foot away around the outside might be something to have especially were you have the coop at. The martens are the worst predators because their so small and as skinny as a mouse they get in the smallest of holes their fangs are very long they will kill everything in the coop and not eat any of it cause their to small. Their the ninja's of the weasel family.
Another good reason to keep it closer to your barn and dogs for now
And racoons, skunks, foxes, bears..they'll tear it up
Yes, for that reason I was thinking they should be using much smaller mesh wire, like chicken wire or even 1/2 inch hardware cloth, but an electric mesh fence would probably be even better, as you said.
Yeah that 1x3 wire fencing is inviting a weasel attack.. but alas you know that by now
Jeremy good to see you well brother, hey I just noticed your almost at 200k Subs, that's awesome 👍🏻 I can see you at 1M in no time at all.
I'm glad hubby is doing better and the chicken house is looking good, great job!!🍀🍀😏😏😏💗💗💗
Glad you're feeling better, Brother. You guys are inspirational and so loving and caring of and for each other and your family. Just plain good folks, God and family loving, honest and hard working. Keep up the wonderful work and God bless you all.
I’m glad you’re recovering. I enjoy your videos! Thank you and best wishes ahead
Glad to see you're back! Hope you're feeling much better! Take it easy and protect your wife!
You two play very nice together. The music is great. You have a beautiful family and place there in Idaho. I look forward to watching you build your forever home someday.
I lived in Idaho for over 40 years. February can be windy.
March is very windy!
March winds bring April showers,
April showers bring May flowers!
It is such a pleasure to watch you two interact while building your homestead. How lucky you both are to have each other. You are great! Terrific music choice.
Melissa, the content, sound, editing and producing of your videos is at a professional level. I've seen TV shows that are not as well done. You should be very proud of this ! 🌹
That means a lot. Thanks so much. ♥️.
I agree! 💪👊💥
I agree
My wife and I binge watch your videos like it’s a tv show 😂. Started at the beginning and working our way to the new stuff 👍
love it. scares the stuff outta me tho' with the weird warm temps- I'm in Ottawa and working outside- running around in a polo shirt over a long sleeve shirt with sleeves rolled up- ..... and comfortable- your sheep are eating grass where there should be snow- wow. Glad to see you up on feet and smiling Jeremy (you too Melissa ! but you were never off your feet )- looking forward to seeing the chickens in their new home :) Always a good time spending with you guys !
Great Blessing's to see you are well better,, ❤❤🌹🌹
"Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above
rubies.
The heart of her husband
safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
Charm is deceitful and beauty
is passing,
But a woman who fears the
LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her
hands,
And let her own works praise
her in the gates."
Proverbs 31: 10, 11, 30, 31 NKJV.
Continue to be the blessing the LORD created you to be alongside
your husband. Jesus Christ has made the both of you a great team for Him! CS
Oh yes, I wholeheartedly agree. What a Blessing (capital B) to behold.
God is Love, literally!
Okay when you pulled out that Ibuprofen I could not stop laughing that was great...
I love watching your fur baby, just so happy to be around you.
16:02 what a perfect song. ❤️ Glad you’re feeling better.
So glad to see Jeremy back, do take it slow as one wrong move can land you back in bed. but happy you are better. Bless you all.
Awesome seeing you two again. So glad Jeremy is healing. That coop is going to be a castle. Love watching you work outside. Gods country no doubt. Bless you all. Meant to say in one of your recent videos the patch collection looks like a heart around the flag.
ThNk you Jennifer! We’ve got more patches to put up!
i am glad you are feeling better Jeremy. please be careful to not injure your back again. i have pulled the same muscle in my back to many times to count. gets worse and longer to heal every time. Love you all, God Bless you.
SO HAPPY YOUR BACK ON YOUR TWO. LEGS....
Glad Jeremy is getting better. Love the music as it really fits! Your camera work and editing are beautiful, as are the two of you. Thanks for letting us in on your homestead building journey. Blessings to your family and much Aloha. 💝🏡🏠💝🏡🏠💝😃
Thank you, that truly means a lot!
Looks great! Love seeing the mountains in the background.
Love the shot of your dog basking in the sun on top of that cardboard box!...also the cat walking thru the grass!....Glad your feeling better but keep up the stretching even after you feel recovered.....God bless you abundantly and stay safe and healthy!
whoa Jeremy welcome back Good to see you up and moving . awesome snack belt!
Well, Heidi didn’t last long, did she? LOL!
Glad Jeremy is feeling better!
I'm glad you are on the road to getting better Jeremy .Back issues are never good especially recurring ones..I know as I also have them.. Great job Melissa... Blessings to the family
I'm really enjoying seeing you build this life for yourselves. I'm 65, but if I was younger, this would be wonderful! May you have much joy, happiness, good health celebrations, and success!
I really enjoy watching y'all work. I could watch other people working all day 😂 The music is great. Still living vicariously through your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Glad Jeremy is feeling better! Chicken coop looks awesome! Can’t wait for the finished product! Love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love and adore my wife. But working with her is absolutely almost impossible I built her a ranch in California she had stalls corrals and fencing. I built pig pens duck touch chicken pants chicken houses rabbit hutch we both agree she needs to tell me what she wants and I build it I might need her help to lift something but that she gets to go back to the house LOL I love that you guys can actually work together I would actually like to see the whole video is it really like this LOL anyways you guys work great together whether you cut 90% or not LOL love the content keep it up!
Anyone else love the way in which the cat/dog act as if supervising. Nice work on coop btw.
You two are so cute together 🥰 I love the dance Jeremy 🤪 and your homemade lasagna 😂 I pray that God will bless you and your beautiful family as you make this land your homestead ❤️
Yay. Glad to see this pop up
I highly recommend getting a foam roller and stretching daily. Just 10 mins a day is enough
I use one daily and also use a cushion when sitting in a chair
Welcome back
The exercise ball helps your back with stretching
I use one too. It’s amazing
Good to see you back!God bless you all!
Here is a tip to keep the bunnies cool. Freeze soda bottles and stick them in their cage! They will lay by them when they are hot! 🐰
Welcome back! The coop looks great, where you currently are in the build I worry about snow load. I know you're still building so I'll wait to critique in full. You know how it is all of us building from our living rooms gotta tell you how to do it. Great job, love y'all.
Good to hear you're back in shape!
GREAT JOB. JEREMY GO REST YOUR BACK
I love the picture of your house in the mountains behind! Beautiful!
Good to see u back 👋 ...
Just found your channel a few weeks ago and ‘binged” watch from the beginning. I love the way you two interact and include your kids. Glad to see Jeremy has gotten better.
Thank you, welcome 🙏
Jeremy, glad your ok. We also live by the same saying. "If the sun is out, the buns & the guns are out" 😆
Happy Sunday
So glad your hubby is better. You guys are a great team. God bless.
It's going to be a chicken coup mansion . Great to see you both back as always you both do a great job . A match made in heaven I have to say . It's s great life you have chosen . Look after yourselves
You guys make me laugh every time, you are always happy and I love that as some people are so miserable (sorry about the spelling)
Yaaaaaaaaaay! I love your snack belt choice Jeremy. It's often my daily choice.
Glad to see you back. Love watching your channel from Australia
I've asked several times about the music you play, and never got an answer, so this time, I stopped the video and did a thorough DuckDuckGo search. Victory is mine!! Drew Holcomb - I Like To Be With Me When I'm With You!! Just in case anyone else was wondering. LOL Glad to see Jeremy back up and around (don't over do it) and glad to see Melissa with her usual charm and wit. Curious to see your completed coop. My neighbor has problems with raccoons, skunks and weasel's getting in and killing his chickens or stealing eggs. Another great video!! Keep em comin!
Sorry, we get songs from all over so I seldom know off the top of my head.
You did all the donkey work for us!!! I didnt even have to scroll down much...and Voila!!! you got my answer!!!
Ok MR. ROGERS. You are elected to name those tunes. Great Job!
Welcome back. No pun intended.
Lmao
Glad you're feeling better. Y'all have such a beautiful view. Breath taking. Love the chicken coop.
I loved the reverse roles on the first day. You two are so good together. I am glad Jeremy is doing much better. Can't wait to see the coop progress.
Happy to see Germie, Lol, is so much better! And dang how many chickens are you all getting?
Sweeping is the worst chore for someone with a back injury. That and washing dishes. OMG! So painful.
JEREMY ONE OF THOSE BACK BRACES THAT HAS THE SUSPENDERS THAT YOU WERE DOWN LOW IT'S GOT TWO WIDE BANDS THAT YOU PULL TIGHT TO USE WHILE WORKING WORK GOOD
Why are you yelling lol
Those are great if you want to ruin your back. Stretching and back strengthening exercises will work. Those belts train your back to rely on them and weaken you for further injury. Bad advise!!!!!
I loved watching all of you walking back to the house with the kitty and dog following you! ♥️♥️
Whew. So glad Jeremy is better. Yoga? for back strength?
Chicken coop will be close for fertilizing and compost making. Good planning..👍🍾🥂
Jeremy using the pick to flatten the ground for the chicken coop made MY back hurt., Hope he didn't over-do it!
I'm glad the old man is feeling better 🙂 I'm 36 this year. You definitely start feeling it 😒
Every decade brings another reminder. 😊🇨🇦
Glad your feeling better Jeremy!
I smiled during this whole video and even laughed out loud at times 😍
You’re living in God’s country, absolutely breath taking and
so blessed to wake up and see that every day! 🙏
LOL Snackbelt choice made me laugh so hard everyone was wondering what I was watching. I have had days like this....
Also, I see he is now working on a crop top to go with his daisy dukes...
Glad your back is better! My turn now:(
She called him Heidi lmfao 😆
Your brown towel is right by your side puts a smile on my face.
“Did you take it out of the box?”
Love this ! 🥰
I can’t wait to build my second chicken coop. Like you, I learned so much from my first build regarding what works and what doesn’t. Any thoughts regarding the prevailing wind direction and how you set the coop direction and that lean-to style roof? Anchoring? Or subterranean border protection from predators burrowing under the exterior walls? Any worries about predators with the coop being the furthest out on the perimeter of the homestead? Sorry, just thinking from a tactical perspective as a cop and not an expertise in chicken farming. I love your design!!
I have a pretty extensive stretching routine for your back if you ever need one.
So glad Jeremy 's back is better.. nice to see you guys back at it! What a great team❤God Bless!!
videos keep getting better... love what you are doing for your family! keep it up and may God Bless!
Thank you, that means more than you know!
💪💪💪
Hey dutch 😊
I guess this time around the coop gets improvements to make it a real henhouse..lol
So glad Jeremy is feeling much better.
It must be marvellous working outside with that view, you have worked hard and you deserve it. I can’t believe how good you both are at building.👍🇬🇧
"We're having toast tonight!" "cereal it is" XD
When my Dad was in charge of dinner when Mon wasn’t home, hot chocolate & toast
Joseph Sauve
My absolute favorite "Daddy is in charge" dinner.
🎻”Dad is Great - he gives me chocolate cake”🎸
🎻”Dad is Great - he gives me chocolate cake”🎸
🤗💕
My Dad would make this thing called "pigs in a blanket"...basically hot dogs in a batter which was then baked...no trace of vegetables!!😂😂
Sounds like the pop tarts and a can of soda my dad tried to pass off as dinner 🤣🤣
@@maryhart637
M6 Mom did the same with sausage. No veggies though.
Glad to see Jeremy back!
Good to see Jeremy up and moving! Melissa & Jeremy, you are such an inspiration! Just the thought of homesteading was so overwhelming until I watched all of your episodes on Good Simple Living! You have motivated me to move into a more simple way of living; growing our own vegetables to making homemade breads!! I have yet to get used to raising chickens though. Mahalo for all that you are doing by sharing your 'Good Simple Living' with all of us!
Love it Cereal it is! 🤣🤣🤣
Jeremy you should wear a mask when sweeping that dust. Take it from someone who has bad sinus problems.
SOOO glad Jeremy is feeling better...do not rush it! love you guys...never seen anyone work as hard as you guys do! You are amazing and you are my HAPPY PLACE!
Thanks for changing it up. Jeremy, great work with the snack belt! Look who rocked the baby claw hammer!
Ask your doctor about Duexis. It is 800mg ibuprofen with a blue coating to protect your stomach.
Double blue coating to protect stomach 😫 stay away from pills ,just a patch at best ,stick with stretching it will work itself out
I really like your dog. There is something peaceful about it. Watching him being curious of what you are doing, I love it.
I’m glad Jeremy is doing better. Can’t wait to see how the chicken coop turns out. God bless to you both and the kids!
That was a sexy dance Jeremy!
I love how your dog always keep guard!
I am so thankful that you are feeling better, Jeremy! I started watching this video soon after you posted it but then got busy and didn’t realize I hadn’t come back to watch this until now. I just got done watching your most recent video (as of the time I leaving this comment) and am pleased to see you have the sparkle back in your eye that we normally see vs having the dull look that seems to accompany being in pain for several days. God bless you guys!
Good job you two!! Y'all do the best work. Good to see Jeremy up and feeling better.
The mountains views at your property is heavenly beautiful.
I am so glad that you and your husband are back. Please be safe.
Thanks so very much.
