DIY Nigerian Dwarf Goat Milking Stand
We finallllyyyyyy broke down and decided to build a milking stand for our Nigerian Dwarf Goats! This should help as Shamrock is due next month and she will need to be milked soon after that. This will hopefully make trimming hooves a bit easier from now on.

Starting our Home Addition ||Deck Tear Out & Rotten Rim Joist Replacement||
Good afternoon everyone! Super exciting day, we just got our building permit back and we are starting our 14x14FT home addition. We tore off our old deck which was in pretty poor shape and found that the flashing around our door had deteriorated and the rim joist was damaged. Luckily we were able to replace it without issue.

Goat Shelter Winter Clean Out ||So Much Wasted Hay!||
Good afternoon everyone, we finally pulled the trigger on cleaning out our Nigerian Dwarf Goat Shelter from the winter. This was with the four goats inside and was not all that bad. Although it did pile up over the winter the standing smell was barley noticeable.

Using Premier One Poultry Net without Power ||Moveable Chicken Fence||
Using Premier One Poultry Net without Power ||Moveable Chicken Fence||
Good afternoon everyone! We wanted to come up with a solution to keep our chickens contained to a smaller area in our yard while still letting them roam around somewhat. So we came to the conclusion that we needed the fence. We looked at the non electrified fencing but it was pretty close in price and would have to buy a whole fence if we ever wanted to add power.
We have been using the fence for a while now and I would say its working out pretty good. Who knows, maybe well add power soon if we run into any troubles.

Slaughtering Pigs for the First Time on the Homestead ||YouTube doesn't want us to show this||
Slaughtering Pigs for the First Time on the Homestead
Good afternoon everyone! We just slaughtered our two pigs this past week and it was our first time doing it on the homestead. I have helped before and watched a few times but this took it to a new level! We were definitely nervous but overall we didn't fail so I cant complain about that. We used .22LR to dispatch the pigs and had zero issues.

Remington RM4620 Chainsaw wont Rev Fix. ||Fixing Bogging Chainsaw||
Just a little bit of troubleshooting to fix my Remington RM4620 that will not rev high, we checked the Air Filter, Cleaned out the whole thing, and removed the spark arrester. You don't have to remove the spark arrester but just make sure it is clean. Ours runs way better without the spark arrester so thats what we went with. You could also adjust the high and low rev screws.

Kylee won the Championship, Sugaring, and Our New Rig.
First off, I want to say thank you to all of our new subscribers on the channel! We are so appreciative that you are supporting us on our journey. This weeks video is more of a vlog type video, Kylee finished up her ice hockey season as champions! She improved so much over this past season and we are super proud of her. We also boiled off some more of our maple syrup and got nearly a half gallon! MHHHMM it is pretty tasty if id say so. And lastly we finally got a camper! We have been looking for years but never committed. We loved camping with the kids over the past years but i think its time we graduated from a tent to something a little nicer!
