I spent the day thinking about chickens. Most days, Chickens require very little direct attention. In the early morning, I open the coups to let them out for the day, scatter some scratch grains around to give them a kick start, refill water containers, top off the feeding tubes, and then close the coups at night. The chickens do their part to reduce bug populations, improve garden soil, and provide eggs. Today, they need extra attention to reduce the rooster pressure on the hens, add a protein source to the pasture, minimize feed waste, and increase predator safety. _______________________ Drankin Song by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500021 Artist: http://incompetech.com/

Summertime is harvest time. Yes, we have more green beans, and the tomatoes are starting to ripen. Wait till you see the squash we are harvesting. Pest pressure is taking a toll on our beans, but they are mostly played out for the season. The Japanese Beetles are feasting on the leaves, which keeps them off of the other plants that are still growing. Soon the beans will be replaced with some field peas and brassicas as we head into the Fall. The tomatoes are ripening but slowly. We have a fungus that is stressing the plants and killing some branches. We could not maintain a proper course of periodic preventative treatment and will now have to do some heavy pruning to save the plants or at least extend their growth for a few more months.

Hens sometimes decide to brood when the homesteader would prefer that they not. If you want to grow your flock stick as many fertilized eggs as you have under the broody hen. At The Return Homestead we have all the chickens we need for this year, so we want to stop any broody behavior. The daily egg tax means a broody hen has not eggs that will eventually hatch. If she continues on the nest she could starve herself, so we need to break them of just sitting all day. Nutmeg chose herself as the next queen of the coop after we moved Momma in with the Spring Chickens. We moved Momma to stop her from brooding and we hope that will be a good solution for Nutmeg as well.

Sunshine joins the drywall crew to help us finish hanging the laundry room. We covered the basics in the last video and now have more complicated puzzles. We provide tips and tricks to help you figure out how to cover and uncover essential areas of the wall.

We hung the drywall, and now we need to get the mudding started. This is level 1 mudding out of 4 levels. Make sure the screws are fully set. Get the mud hydrated. Take your time, and don't try to do perfectly on the first step. _________________________ Open Road by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/ _________________________

Time for Level 2 on the drywall mud. Within the construction industry, drywall finishing is broken into 4 levels. This provides contractors a way to discuss the work and the costs associated with each level, to provide clear expectations for their customers. We borrow their language for our drywall projects but we do not hold ourselves to the same expectations as we would a contractor when it comes to finishing the walls. We can do this any way we want to, and so we do. We plan to level out our level 1 mudding effort with another layer of mud. After sanding we will apply the texture and move on to painting. For today's video, we demonstrate the way we sand our level 1 mud and how we apply the level 2 mud.

Chainsaws are dangerous and useful. I enjoy making sawdust and today there is lots to make. We want to take down all the trees threatening the guest house. We would hate to finish the remodel and loose the house to a falling tree. The land the trees cover will be useful for orchards, and gardens. Assessing the risks of using a chainsaw is no simple task. Do your homework. Understand how the saw works and you can use it safely. Today I am going to share some of my thoughts and techniques for sharpening the chain, creating a safe cutting zone, protecting the user, and guiding a tree's fall.

YouTube is shadow-banning our channel and it started after we posted this video. We were growing the channel at breakneck speed until July 4th when we released this video. The next day our impression rate was reduced to a 10th of what it was. And all of our videos now top out in the first two days before flat lining on impressions.

Managing water on a homestead requires constant attention. We have pushed the demolition in the master suite as far as possible without disturbing the plumbing. Now we have to cap the water lines and start removing drains. This will allow us to remove walls around the shower, remove the old sinks, and remove the tub from our new walk-in shower. While doing all this plumbing, we experienced an extreme summer thunderstorm that dumped almost 4 inches in less than an hour. All that water revealed clogged down spouts on our gutters. As soon as the storm cleared we decided to fix the problem. It was a water day on the homestead.

We talked a lot about water in the last video. Today we continue the discussion, hoping you might avoid some of the mistakes we found in our demolition work on the remodel. When considering a floor covering, especially in a bathroom, never stop thinking about water. First, how can you prevent water from penetrating into walls and floors? Second, if water does penetrate, how will it get out again. Vinyl makes an excellent floor covering in wet areas. Originally these coverings were a single sheet secured to the subfloor creating a complete water barrier. Newer products on the market are similar to the laminate floor we installed in the guest bedroom, having a locking strip along the edges that holds thin planks of the floor together in a "mostly" complete barrier. An even more recent product is the peel-and-stick tiles which are usually square and have adhesive pre-applied to the back. Each time is a good water barrier, but where they meet is not sealed. If you choose to use peel-and-stick flooring, research its proper installation before laying the floor. In our en suite in the remodel the adhesive tiles were applied directly to wooden floor underlayment which was stapled over the original sheet vinyl floor. This layer of wood sandwiched between two layers of vinyl is a bad idea. Our most valuable lessons on the homestead come from seeing other people's mistakes. Advise about electrical safety is often ignored, but evidence of disasters that could happen often produces a healthy respect for the dangers. Please, learn from my sharing an embracing electrical mistake that could have been very bad.

Planting the fall garden happens immediately as the harvest winds down in the summer. We need to plant beets, carrots, turnips, and rutabagas. Our plan is to grow those behind the potatoes that we already harvested. There has been some manure from the goats sitting on the bed for several weeks. We need to run a tiller across to loosen the soil's surface. Then, we use a hoe to mound up some rows. The mounds give the roots plenty of room to spread out and put on some size. Our summer harvest was more extensive than expected, so we only need this one bed of root vegetables this year. These plants will keep the garden active and producing even past the first frost date, providing us with some bonus food for the winter. _____________________________________ Banjo Short by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/ ____________________ All Good In The Wood by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/ ____________________ Jenny's Theme by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Artist: http://audionautix.com/ ____________________________________

Time to hang the drywall. Once it has some walls, the laundry room will look like a room again. Hanging drywall is probably the most disliked construction task for DIYers. Probably because of the mess, needing to lift 4x8 sheets of drywall, the mess, getting covered in mud, the mess, sanding, sanding, sanding, and of course the mess. The effort is worth it when you finally get the last coat of paint on and you have a finished room. Today we are dealing with the basics to get started.
