Wooohooooo 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Congratulations to you all! You've put your hearts and souls into keeping us entertained, following your journey to modern homesteading. Lots of love to you all 😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Huge congratulations on achieving 200 000 subscribers. Think of all the many people you have informed, entertained, taught, supported and challenged over the yeas. Your gifts to the homesteading community and to fans around the world is greatly appreciated.
Al, Gina and Olivia, Congratulations on reaching 200K subscribers. I watch quite a few homesteading channels and although I admire them all, I enjoy yours the most. Lots of hard work, ingenuity, creativity, education and so much more. Your many talents are an inspiration to us all.
Put 5 minute epoxy on the bottom of the legs and let it harden. This will prevent the water from being absorbed in the end grain of the feet and prevent rotting of the wood when it is in the pasture.
Congratulations on 200 T subscribers your channel is still my favorite. Your pets and animals are the sweetest on u-tube. I enjoy them so much and watching your interaction with them makes my day. Thanks for sharing your family and animals. May God continue to bless you. Sincerely grandma from Tennessee.
Can you imagine yourselves on stage with an audience of 200,000 people before you ? That's quite a following you have going. Congrats to you for success at homesteading examples and inspiring life ❤ you are very much admired. Love your way of life and all the critters too...many Blessings to you. Spokane, WA.
Oh how, in many ways, I miss Spokane. Sadly they no longer have Playfair, which was my life and livelihood. My farm/homestead was way out west of town, roughly in the Rambo Rd x Lincoln Rd vicinity (north of Airway Heights).
You are coming right along. And have gotten so much done. Good to see the progression. Just one foot in front of the other. I like how you breakdown projects into doable chuncks. They don't seen so overwhelming. And better yet they get done and not abandoned. GOOD JOB LUMNAH HOMESTEAD. 😊
I like how organized the both of u r,keeping it clean as u go, esp the milking, so many steps saved ! and I enjoy the cooking and recipes an the prayer before eating, thank u for setting examples
Big thank you family for all the good videos. First thing I do in the mornings is watch. I enjoy them so much. At 78 and not so mobile anymore, I watch a lot of UA-cam. So glad to see Olivia practicing her casting for fishing. Fishing was my favorite hobby but don't get to go much anymore. Sure do miss it. Thanks again for sharing your lives with us. I live in Alabama. Billy John 3:16
Since I started watching your videos, over 9 months ago, your daily chores have increased and your homestead has grown with buildings and animals and projects. It is fantastic. Always a joy to watch your videos. :-)
I have just started watching you and I'm hooked... I've binged watched about five videos already... I also watch Justin Roads and it was great watching you two build the chicken coop TOGETHER ❤.... Bless your little family and your animal's couldn't have better human parent's...
Congratulations on the 200,000 subscribers. That is wonderful. You have taught somany people (not just homesteaders, how to build things and grow things and most importantly, how to work together as a team. Y'all are great teachers. Dinner looked delicious. Could you do a video about the pellet cooker? I like the idea that you are abe to use it in an enclosed space which for me would be a screened porch. So much nicer, you don't have to wait for a day that is not raining. Have a Blessed day.
I think it is awesome that Fern and Hope are due the same day! Was a Weedem and Reap fan and followed hope to your channel and became a fan here! Love watching all the goats and their different personalities.❤️
Love watching your channel. I’ve told some friends of mine about your channel. They are homesteaders as well. I am not a homesteader but love the concept. I live in a housing development of sorts. Congratulations on 200,000 subscribers. You keep making them and I’ll keep watching. Love to hear the baby goats too.
That is going to be very nice and easy to move. I want to build one and I don’t have chickens.i think Tanner wants some chicken. By the way I just want you to know after watching you I have been using my ratchet straps and wood clamps much more often. Even started using my circular saw more by using my compound square as a straight edge guide. Thanks.
Congratulations! This is my favorite UA-cam channel as I am an aspiring carpenter lol! I have gained so much confidence watching y’all and learning the tricks that have enabled me to build stuff! Thanks so much for your hard work and for sharing with us all 😊
Love the way you guys think through things, my wife and I are both engineers and try to always look at all applications on the homestead with a fresh perspective.
Yes, Gina, the flowers on the pea plants are beautiful. 😊 Supper looked utterly delicious. Congrats on 200K. You've done so many interesting things and made such enjoyable videos over the years that you have truly earned your following. I'm very happy for you.
Congratulations on hitting 200,000 subscribers. I love your channel and enjoy watching your farm grow. Very informative and motivating. Your garden is awesome and dinner looked delicious. Yum Yum
I'm elated to be one of your subscriber's! I thoroughly enjoy you & your family. It reminds me of my Grandaughter, & family; Granny & Grandpaul. I refuse to look at anyone else. Devoted! You are honest good folks who've captured my heart!
Al: use some strong magnets on the kickstand and the other legs, this way you do not have to worry about making sure the clips catch correctly. you can get magnets with a center hole for mounting and then just use a small flat piece of steel or iron for it to click on to.
Congrats on 200k! I once made a project using conduit straps to hold the axles on. They got mangled and pulled off when one of the wheels got stuck on something. The solution was to bolt pieces of angle iron on the wooden frame using lag bolts. The bottom of the L faces away from the wood. Drill holes in the angle and use a U bolt to hold the axle on. They have never pulled out. Your original coop design was pulled by a person I believe. The tractor will generate much more pulling power. Great project!
Heard about your channel from Homestead Holler, Meg and Ben endorsed you. They, like you are an inspiration!😁 Currently looking for acreage in Oregon to begin my homestead journey. Thank you and stay safe!
In Australia a lot of bbq chicken is done with a beer can. Half full can. You stand the chicken up on the open can and cook as normal. It makes a beautifully moist flavoured bird. You can cook it like this in your kitchen as well. It is fun tasting the different flavours with different types of beer
YEAYYY! on reaching 200,000... 🎈 Congratulations guys.. you deserve it!... You and Gina for your hard work... and Olivia.. for being Olivia. 🎶. You are blessed AND a blessing for sure.
That's funny how Hope and Fern, separated for a year, and a nation apart, in far different climates, both come in heat at the same time. If they both kid on schedule it will be on my "baby" daughter's 25th birthday. Congrats on the 200K! I've been subbed and faithfully watching since you were aiming for 10K.
Cool chickshaw. Olivia's gonna be the fish whisperer with such skilled casting! Smart baby goats finding a way under the gate to mama and milk. Almost fell out of my seat when Tanner popped his head up above the kitchen counter like some sort of "wack-a-mole" while Gina kept such a straight face! Was priceless!!!
Congratulations Al Lumnah, y’all did. It! You got 200,000 subscribers, so happy for you and I came along when you were between 25-50 K not sure but you turned your red truck into New Yolk City. Again Congratulations to you and your family.!🤟🥰🎶🐐👋😷👋
Gina, you should try kale chips, you coat them with a little oil, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake or dehydrate until crisp. They are delicious. Keep fighting the good fight.
for the legs on the chicken coop get your self a couple of small magnets and washers, use the magnets on the frame and the washers on the legs and they will keep the legs locked up while you move the coop...
A little hack for cutting carrots. Turn one of the carrots around so they are facing the opposite way. That way you don’t get the really thick end together
Yall are so awesome and relaxing to watch, I look forward to your vids,,,Man those turkeys and meat birds grow so much seems like over night, Many blessing to you all, and Thanks for taking us away from the everyday craziness,:)
Nice looking chickshaw, I like how you're setting up the draw bar for the hitch, and putting the automatic door on. Gina, what kind of salad dressing did you make for your salad.
Al. I have a suggestion for your folding legs on the chickshaw. Get some rare earth magnets, and epoxy them into the leg and the frame. That way, when you fold them, the magnets will hold them and you won't need latches. Plus it'll be really cool! Blessings from Ohio, Pastor Bill!
When you do a whole chicken like that, specially in a pellet smoker, you should consider spatchcocking it first. It'll cook more evenly and you'll be able to season it more consistently. 🙂
Just harvested my first round of peas I am so excited! My lettuce and spinach have cooled due to our almost 100 degree heat of late. Still happy with all the advice as it looks like we will have more produce than ever. Hoping the same for you all and glad I was right about Olivia's fishing trip! Enjoy!
Gina, the salad looks AMAZING! I will need to remember the ingredients. Is there a particular quinoa you use and please will you share your dressing recipe! Thank you so much. Lumnah Acres congratulations on 200,000 subscribers!! I am a proud long time subscriber thanks to my sister and my son! :) Wonderful people on this channel.
Have you thought about getting into welding? A stick welder or a flux core welder can be good for entry level as they don't require shielding gas so no worries about settings and did I turn it off after a project. Steel to use is also easy to find when you actively look for it as fabrication shops often have sheets of skeleton (metal left after parts are cut out) that they sell for scrap and scrap iron/steel is not worth it till you are in the tons range, bed frames are also easy to find when you know when and where to look for people throwing them out. A simple coat of paint on the steel to protect it from rust and you have something that would last years longer then wood so doing the job once for years of return.
Hello I’m a 84 year old disabled US Marine of the Korean and Vietnam wars. I REALLY enjoy ALL your episodes. It gives me great pleasure. I particularly like your calm consistent approach to all matters ; that includes your wife and your daughter. I mean their personalities. It appears that all of your equipment and facilities are new, where did you and where do you get all of your money to do this? Are you a transport from New York City or Boston where you had a successful career? Anyway I love your Show.
You guys are doing awesome...simple question, what is you main camera, that sucker is really clear! Cutting food out of the garden and bringing it straight to the table with no middlemen has me so jealous. I wish the climate I live in would be inviting to do something similar, unfortunately, not at this time. Thanks for letting us tag along.
The whole time I was watching Justin work on his Chickshaw and being concerned about the legs hitting when pulling with the side by side, I kept thinking there must be a way to hinge those legs so they could swing out of the way when moving the Chickshaw. Great minds thinks alike! Thanks for the modifications! Now I can build one and hopefully have a pasture flock next year 😊
Another great video. Thank you for sharing your many great ideas. You homestead and your channel have come so far in the last 40 months. Al and all, you prove everyday that hard work and vision to the future, pay off in a big way. I wish I was as handy as your family. Life is what you make it. God bless you all and stay safe. God bless America.
I know that I said this when you built the feeder that the boys use now, but it bears repeating. I love your attention to detail! It changes a project from from just functional to something great to look at 😀 ::edit:: from something*
Hi guys love the tractor ! Justin all ready changed his he added a way to add a trailer hitch to his to hook to Sally only his is out of wood. Love the hinged feet great idea
Yup had that problem with recieving my last electric fence box took an extra week twas fedex ugg. Im still waitibg on my hydraulic log splitter to be shipped
Hey Al, Put a couple pieces of plastic pipe or Hose on the bottom of your mobile chicken tractor will be a whole lot more Mobile.if you only have a few small pieces put them on the side and at the back of frame or strip of metal as runner's. I hope that helps
Congrats on hitting 200K!!!! We are just now seeing our first sugar snap peas. We have micro cucumbers, tomatillo flowers, buds on our tomatoes and buds on our peppers. I think it is very wise to sonogram Hope so you know what to expect. That chicken looked fantastic. Blessings to all.
So far the key thing I've learned from your videos is fast forward roughly ten minutes to get to the content you label it as. Saved me some time so far.
Supper looked spectacular! Yummy. We're those beets? Love em. That salad looked awesome gonna try it myself! Thanks Gina, great job, as always from you all.
Hello, to all at Lumah Acres just want to tell you we really love your channel. So glad my husband and I love you guys. A loving family and really beautiful people. glad to call you friends. Looks like you are really being blessed.
You might look into getting 3 Katahdin Sheep (2 ewes and a ram from a different blood line) to help with mowing the pasture. They eat different plants than the goats and they don't need to be sheared of wool.
We had the same issue with UPS deliveries in Tucson. Packages had arrived to the Tucson UPS facility, but languished for up to 2 weeks before they were delivered. It turns out that a number of the workers at the facility had contracted COVID-19, resulting in staffing shortages. Additional workers were brought in from facilities in neighboring New Mexico to help with the package backlog. The ‘new COVID-19 reality’ is that when ordering something, be patient and expect delays. Several businesses that I’ve ordered from for years have stopped offering expedited, or 2-day, delivery, as UPS, FedEx, and the USPS have been overwhelmed with the volume of packages that on some days eclipses the Christmas package volume. I’m delighted when a package arrives!
Your chickshaw is looking great. Can’t wait to see finished. You need to put sone little wheels on your turkey/chicken tractors Like the chickshaw, only smaller. ( just an idea) It would be a lot easier for you to move them. It looks like you tug at it it a bit. Lol🤪. And Gina, your dinner looks amazing...makes me hungry. And that salad....wow. Looks delicious. All ingredients.....please. 🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻...Anyway, have a great week, see you next video. 👍🏻 By the way...congratulations on 200,000 subscribers. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
They make a vertical wire stand to put in the chicken cavity to keep it upright. Or you could do beer can chicken, where you stick a half full can of beer (or ginger ale if you don't drink alcohol ) in the cavity as a vertical stand. It flavors the bird and makes it very moist ☺
Cheapest readily available source I have found for wheels with excellent bearings are Auctions and secondhand/ junk shops. Buy an old push bike. Wheel sizes 20, 24 and 26” all readily available. As you don’t care about the condition of the frame you will be amazed at how cheap you can get the bits you need.
Is your next project rainwater catchment off of the barn for the goats & new chicken coop? Looks like Rusty has been behaving better. Congrats on 200k subscribers. Can’t wait for the bees to come.
Fencing and hardware cloth is something that has been hard to find with the supply shortages. I wanted to pick some up and haven't been able to find ANY kind of fencing material for a month and a half now. I keep checking every time I go to the store though
Gina if you cut the back bone out of the bird. Put inside down on cutting board and press down on breast bone to flatten. It will take less time to cook. It is called Spatchcock chicken. There are tutorials on here.
I was watching Justin Rhodes modify his chickshaw and I kept thinking "Why doesn't he put hinges on the legs to get clearance?" I knew that was a good idea. Looks good and sturdy. Gina I know how you feel about your flower, my squash plant was a long time coming.
THANK YOU to everyone who has SUBSCRIBED to the Channel, We reached 200,000 SUBSCRIBERS the other DAY! We have such an awesome community HERE!

Love the way you guys think through things, my wife and I are both engineers and try to always look at all applications on the homestead with a fresh perspective.

The goats are so cute Lil man cleaning Zeke was adorable. Dieing to find out if Hope is having babies. 15 eggs. Way to go 200,000
I love all your projects.. you make every one of them perfect and pleasing to the eye. I am learning so much with your videos.
Keep up the good work.
Cool chickshaw. Olivia's gonna be the fish whisperer with such skilled casting! Smart baby goats finding a way under the gate to mama and milk. Almost fell out of my seat when Tanner popped his head up above the kitchen counter like some sort of "wack-a-mole" while Gina kept such a straight face! Was priceless!!!
Congratulations Al Lumnah, y’all did. It! You got 200,000 subscribers, so happy for you and I came along when you were between 25-50 K not sure but you turned your red truck into New Yolk City. Again Congratulations to you and your family.!🤟🥰🎶🐐👋😷👋
Looks great, well done!
I'd round over the ends of those axles, catch that on you calf as you walk by and it would hurt!
Cheers from Tokyo
Stu
Gina, you should try kale chips, you coat them with a little oil, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake or dehydrate until crisp. They are delicious. Keep fighting the good fight.
Now add a magnet and a washer so that the legs can be moved and held in place while you move it.
I like that idea! Next time I go to the hardware store I’ll have to pick up some magnets! Thanks
Loews and HomeDepot sell chamfered washer and flat powerful magnet sets that really work well. They will hold those legs up while moving
Brad, great idea!
Or you can use magnetic cabinet catches since the magnets are already in mounts ...
There are also cabinet door hinges that click open and closed.
for the legs on the chicken coop get your self a couple of small magnets and washers, use the magnets on the frame and the washers on the legs and they will keep the legs locked up while you move the coop...
A little hack for cutting carrots. Turn one of the carrots around so they are facing the opposite way. That way you don’t get the really thick end together
Yall are so awesome and relaxing to watch, I look forward to your vids,,,Man those turkeys and meat birds grow so much seems like over night, Many blessing to you all, and Thanks for taking us away from the everyday craziness,:)
I don’t see how anyone can dislike your videos. This is my favorite family to watch !
Nice looking chickshaw, I like how you're setting up the draw bar for the hitch, and putting the automatic door on. Gina, what kind of salad dressing did you make for your salad.
Al. I have a suggestion for your folding legs on the chickshaw. Get some rare earth magnets, and epoxy them into the leg and the frame. That way, when you fold them, the magnets will hold them and you won't need latches. Plus it'll be really cool! Blessings from Ohio, Pastor Bill!
Congrats on hitting 200K subscribers! 🥳🌟✨
check with tractor time with tim to get the external mics for you two, sound will be better when you are away from camera mic

those little cinematics are a nice upgrade to the content, love your vids even more!
Congratulations on reaching 200,000 subscribers! :D That chicken on the grill looks sooooo good :)
Gina, the salad looks AMAZING! I will need to remember the ingredients. Is there a particular quinoa you use and please will you share your dressing recipe! Thank you so much. Lumnah Acres congratulations on 200,000 subscribers!! I am a proud long time subscriber thanks to my sister and my son! :) Wonderful people on this channel.
The greenhouse was fun to watch with all it's wind perils but this is the build I was waiting for. 👏 Well done!

Love the garden..can't wait to get a backyard!!!!👍
Oooooh! That Kale Salad looks wonderful! We are gonna try it for sure! I think we'll add a few toasted walnuts though instead of carrots!
Hello I’m a 84 year old disabled US Marine of the Korean and Vietnam wars. I REALLY enjoy ALL your episodes. It gives me great pleasure. I particularly like your calm consistent approach to all matters ; that includes your wife and your daughter. I mean their personalities.
It appears that all of your equipment and facilities are new, where did you and where do you get all of your money to do this?
Are you a transport from New York City or Boston where you had a successful career? Anyway I love your Show.
You all are an inspiration to me thank you! I’m going to try and smoke a chicken like that also.
Congrats on the 200k subs! I can’t wait to see if little Hopie is going to be a momma! I think she will be a great mom like Tilly has turned out to be
You need to install hook and eye fasteners to secure the kickstands (legs) in the up positions for moving the chickshaw.
You guys are doing awesome...simple question, what is you main camera, that sucker is really clear! Cutting food out of the garden and bringing it straight to the table with no middlemen has me so jealous. I wish the climate I live in would be inviting to do something similar, unfortunately, not at this time. Thanks for letting us tag along.
Lovely all video segment & one of the best of your video is the ending, you sit down and eat your breakfast or lunch or dinner with your family
The whole time I was watching Justin work on his Chickshaw and being concerned about the legs hitting when pulling with the side by side, I kept thinking there must be a way to hinge those legs so they could swing out of the way when moving the Chickshaw. Great minds thinks alike! Thanks for the modifications! Now I can build one and hopefully have a pasture flock next year 😊
Twisted Ponies I was thinking same thing watching Justin...why didn’t he just put hinges on them. Glad to see Al implemented it!
Ha, I told Justin to watch Al. On the great American farm tour that the Rhodes family took, they went to Al’s Homestead.
That roasted chicken looked awesome. One of my fave foods ever. Yum.
Another great video. Thank you for sharing your many great ideas. You homestead and your channel have come so far in the last 40 months. Al and all, you prove everyday that hard work and vision to the future, pay off in a big way. I wish I was as handy as your family. Life is what you make it. God bless you all and stay safe. God bless America.
Gina, if you give the kale a bit of a rough “massage” after washing it, it tenderizes it even more for salad. Your salad looks divine.
I know that I said this when you built the feeder that the boys use now, but it bears repeating. I love your attention to detail! It changes a project from from just functional to something great to look at 😀
::edit:: from something*
That's cool! Definitely can't wait for the ultrasound sound!
Hey Brad Miller thats a great idea. Al. Use some 1 inch round neodymium magnets. They are strong magnets. Get em online.
Another project???...nice. How do you find the time for everything??
Hi guys love the tractor ! Justin all ready changed his he added a way to add a trailer hitch to his to hook to Sally only his is out of wood. Love the hinged feet great idea
I knew you'd come up with a good modification of the tractor. I think the collapse-able feet are the way to go.
Yup had that problem with recieving my last electric fence box took an extra week twas fedex ugg. Im still waitibg on my hydraulic log splitter to be shipped
Hey Al, Put a couple pieces of plastic pipe or Hose on the bottom of your mobile chicken tractor will be a whole lot more Mobile.if you only have a few small pieces put them on the side and at the back of frame or strip of metal as runner's. I hope that helps
"Bam, I like it!" Congratulations on 100,000 Lumnah Acres!🎉
200,000!!!
Try to spatchcock a chicken for the grill. It will cook more evenly in less time and you can season the internal body cavity easily
Greetings from Ohio. Congratulations to you and your family deserve it. You put a lot of time into moving the camera. We appreciate it
Congrats on hitting 200K!!!! We are just now seeing our first sugar snap peas. We have micro cucumbers, tomatillo flowers, buds on our tomatoes and buds on our peppers. I think it is very wise to sonogram Hope so you know what to expect. That chicken looked fantastic. Blessings to all.
So far the key thing I've learned from your videos is fast forward roughly ten minutes to get to the content you label it as. Saved me some time so far.
Supper looked spectacular! Yummy. We're those beets? Love em. That salad looked awesome gonna try it myself! Thanks Gina, great job, as always from you all.
Hello, to all at Lumah Acres just want to tell you we really love your channel. So glad my husband and I love you guys. A loving family and really beautiful people. glad to call you friends. Looks like you are really being blessed.
do you have a fire extinguisher in your works shop, i see you grinding and creating sparks that were dropping on your sawdust
👋 Hi from Russia) we have been looking after you for a long Time ) I really like your greenhouse ) Thank you for the video 🤗
You might look into getting 3 Katahdin Sheep (2 ewes and a ram from a different blood line) to help with mowing the pasture. They eat different plants than the goats and they don't need to be sheared of wool.
We had the same issue with UPS deliveries in Tucson. Packages had arrived to the Tucson UPS facility, but languished for up to 2 weeks before they were delivered. It turns out that a number of the workers at the facility had contracted COVID-19, resulting in staffing shortages. Additional workers were brought in from facilities in neighboring New Mexico to help with the package backlog. The ‘new COVID-19 reality’ is that when ordering something, be patient and expect delays. Several businesses that I’ve ordered from for years have stopped offering expedited, or 2-day, delivery, as UPS, FedEx, and the USPS have been overwhelmed with the volume of packages that on some days eclipses the Christmas package volume. I’m delighted when a package arrives!
FYI: dry ranch seasoning works great for seasoning all types of meat.
Great progress, folks! Al, you might pick up some galvanized rigid conduit in case the 'trailer hitch' assembly doesn't work out in the long run.
Your carpentry skills are second to none!
The chicken coop is looking great, excited to see the finished product! Dinner looks delicious! That's a nice size chicken !
Al, have you heard of the Ruth Stout gardening method??
USPS doing weird ships t👀. Took a month to get a package from Michigan to NJ. 😁🤩 Finally arrived!
That looked so tasty that I almost invited myself to dinner. Keep up the great work.
The garden is amazing
Your chickshaw is looking great. Can’t wait to see finished. You need to put sone little wheels on your turkey/chicken tractors Like the chickshaw, only smaller. ( just an idea) It would be a lot easier for you to move them. It looks like you tug at it it a bit. Lol🤪. And Gina, your dinner looks amazing...makes me hungry. And that salad....wow. Looks delicious. All ingredients.....please. 🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻...Anyway, have a great week, see you next video. 👍🏻 By the way...congratulations on 200,000 subscribers. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Gina... your lettuce garden and peas are lovely. I'm inspired.
They make a vertical wire stand to put in the chicken cavity to keep it upright. Or you could do beer can chicken, where you stick a half full can of beer (or ginger ale if you don't drink alcohol ) in the cavity as a vertical stand. It flavors the bird and makes it very moist ☺
Cheapest readily available source I have found for wheels with excellent bearings are Auctions and secondhand/ junk shops.
Buy an old push bike. Wheel sizes 20, 24 and 26” all readily available. As you don’t care about the condition of the frame you will be amazed at how cheap you can get the bits you need.
Congratulations for your first flower on you peas.... Olivia will be a grand Fisherman.....
Is your next project rainwater catchment off of the barn for the goats & new chicken coop? Looks like Rusty has been behaving better. Congrats on 200k subscribers. Can’t wait for the bees to come.
Fencing and hardware cloth is something that has been hard to find with the supply shortages. I wanted to pick some up and haven't been able to find ANY kind of fencing material for a month and a half now. I keep checking every time I go to the store though
Gina if you cut the back bone out of the bird. Put inside down on cutting board and press down on breast bone to flatten. It will take less time to cook. It is called Spatchcock chicken. There are tutorials on here.
To help it cook more evenly on your grill, you should try Spatchcock Chicken. A method of flattening a whole chicken.
I forgot about that ... thanks for reminding me .... take care.
Cooks in half the time, browns and tastes better.
I was watching Justin Rhodes modify his chickshaw and I kept thinking "Why doesn't he put hinges on the legs to get clearance?" I knew that was a good idea. Looks good and sturdy. Gina I know how you feel about your flower, my squash plant was a long time coming.
LOL at the dog checking out what was going on with that chicken.
