    I've gotten to the point where I automatically click the thumbs-up as soon as the video starts. This may seem presumptuous but Just A Few Acres Farm has never put out a disappointing video in the few years I've been watching!

  • @bay9876
    @bay9876 7 місяців тому

    The description on gravel and compacting soil makes a lot of sense for base under a concrete slab. Building inspectors always make a determination if the soil under that foundation is dense and supportive enough for the weight and support of the concrete foundation and build. Those tractors finally found their own home to roost in like the turkeys.

    Hello Pete. I enjoy your channel very much. I especially like when you and your wife are doing something there on the farm. You have some jokes that make me laugh and some jokes not so much.?. Don't feel bad I have had the same experience. When I say a flubber or something goes haywire I just tell people I have been shot down more times and Snoopy. I don't worry about it. I like watching you with your animals, I can tell they are very at ease around you. God bless you for treating them so well. I am a retired farmer and Walmart associate from Southeast Iowa. PS. I am envious of your new pole barn and keep up the farmers market videos and videos of you three guys at machinery auctions. Thank you for making my day brighter😊

    It's a Sunday afternoon with my feet up and my favorite 40lb chicken that identifies as a dog has her head on my lap while I'm playing an "air base" with my fingers up and down her back along to the soundtrack of the turkeys going to bed. Each measure of 8th notes causes her back leg to start scratching. She liked that part of your program so much that she wanted to see again a few times.
    The pole barn is looking good! Unless you weld day-in-day-out you're not going to be dropping dimes like a journeyman welder. But you do just fine. If you were really concerned about fire you might have a bucket of water on hand. But in a barn that has new gravel, wetting down the post is good enough. You got your heifer dust kickers on so you can stomp on anything that might flair up.
    The place at this time of year looks great. Tell Hillary she does great work if you haven't already.😉👍

  • @jwmfarms
    @jwmfarms 7 місяців тому

    Pete, in 1987, we built a new 60’x60’ steel building at our family dealership. The concrete contractor wasn’t going to compact the base, because he said it wasn’t necessary. We had hauled the stone with our own trucks, and there was 217 tons in total, the contractor claimed he was at the proper grade. Fearing that the slab would crack, we rented a vibratory roller, and I operated it. In less than five minutes, the grade had changed so much, both trucks headed back to the quarry. Ninety-seven tons later, we were back to proper grade. Thirty-six tears have passed, and that slab has zero cracks in it. For what you are doing compaction isn’t critical, but under a building slab, it’s a different story.

    • @JustaFewAcresFarm
      @JustaFewAcresFarm  7 місяців тому

      You did not say what type of fill was used, but I think we’re in agreement. Under a commercial building slab, I would have required Proctor tests of structural fill to ensure proper compaction. Also, I would never advise to use clean stone for deep fill. instead, use graded structural fill for the majority, then finish with clean stone to shim the slab sub base.

Also a unique view on how your turkeys like to bed down for the night... the flock dynamics are a real treat to enjoy! For someone who doesn't weld all that often, that lower bead looks quite professional... good job!
