Great day working on the homestead water line to 10 acres, but THEN Jonah finds TWO snakes eating our eggs in the Chicken Coop. Now, I must grab them by hand and displace the snakes before the eggs are all gone.

I almost had to stop watching there at the end. I do not like snakes. Creepy isn’t even the word for them. Love the vlog...still catching up on all the videos you guys have posted. They remind me of spending summers with my grandparents on their farm. They had a huge garden, fruit trees everywhere- nothing like a peach fresh off the tree, and my grandfather raised hogs every so often...they were huge! Those were some long, hot days in those garden rows, but so worth it when my grandmother would put the food from the land on the table for dinner. Continue to bring us the great content!

Crazy. They were full and moving slow. We had black snakes and king snakes. We made a snake stick. Using 7 ft shoemold and then put staples all the down but not flush against the wood. Then thread 12 foot (or more I can't remember) of coated wire (like electrical wire) and made a noose. Easy catch. My 12 year old son would catch one in backyard and then call me at work, "mama, I caught a snake what do I do with it?" I would say, "well we have 3 acres of woods..take it out to the woods somewhere." LOL.

When you bury a hose, or pipe or other kind of underground/undersurface infrastructure (I realize this is just a few inches down, but still) it's sometimes prudent to bury a locating wire along with it as a part of the infrastructure. That way, if in the future, you're planning an excavation, you can hook a radio transmitter to the wire and use a metal detector to locate your infrastructures - in order to avoid hitting them while you're digging. Using a device like this one (only an example) that buried wire will help you find your pipe or hose or whatever you've got down there: www.amazon.com/Armada-Technologies-Pro871C-Underground-Inductive/dp/B00WSPK4QU You have to leave one end of the wire sticking out of the ground in an obvious location for future use, that is where you will clamp the transmitter (of the locater) to. It turns the wire into an antenna, so that the detector/locator can "see" the wire under the ground. If you should happen to drive a location post into the ground where that wire sticks out, and paint it orange or yellow and wrap the free end of the wire around it, that might do the trick. Many of these detectors will work even when the wire is several feet underground (and with water or gas lines you should keep them a lot deeper than that hose). We used to use similar devices to locate gas lines and water lines, in the old days. Some of the pipes were five feet down. Hope this helps. Thanks for the content, keep up the good work. בס״ד

Rather you than me. My husband said, just chop it's head off. He hates snakes. Nice length for a black, the one with eggs going down was funny. That's what you call "hoist by his own petard!". LOL I do hope you get your water lines sorted. I think you would enjoy a watering system. You would have to do it in zones, however, you could make each zone be on for specific times of the day. Ah well, it does get expensive when you first do it, but at least the way you are thinking of doing it should make it easier for you. Rosie swimming in the creek! LOL! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

I had a long skinny black snake on my porch that wouldn't leave! Finally able to sweep it out with a broom after I had tired it out enough where it just coiled up into a ball and let me push it. It was snapping at the broom so I didn't dare pick it up! Use a trailer hitch and bumper receiver that you mount to a truck bumper, where you can remove the tongue after you move it.

Perhaps you can get rid of the legs that keep it level and put in swivel legs. Then you can hitch from the rear and when parked swivel the legs down. You can probably even make it so the legs swivel together with a wood dowel or metal rod.

Watering is a challenge. 1st there is the "hardness" of water, even well water can test "hard" which makes deep soil penetration impossibly time consuming. The permaculture moto for water catchment: Slow, Sink, and Spread, either in a holding pond after a down-power or rain water catchment tank. You all are doing so many wonderful permaculture techniques; wouldn't want to add yet another project to your ever changing list of "Honey-Do's"

I know you have it already built but why dont you just put smaller guide wheels in place of the legs on your coops that way legs wont drag on the ground you can do it on both sides and it will be like the carts from Lowes where it teeters on the middle wheel but will push easily no matter which side you push from. Also would suggest making your ramp/door detachable by using hinges with long carter pins so if you happen to do any modifications later you can easily remove the door/ramp for whatever task you have and would be easy for the kids to detach it if needed

Such beautiful cornsnakes! I'm a bit upset seeing them handled so improperly (And that's nowhere near a 7ft snake XD) but I'm relieved you don't kill them even if they do occasionally go after eggs. Their worth in pest control is so much worth the times they might get harvest
