Where we live, if you want a pet sitter that will do more than just keep the chickens alive, it's about $25 a day and up. Free eggs wouldn't cut it here. You essentially paid them less than $3 a day and most people won't work for so little.

no one takes care of your animals like you can!! At least they are alive....

Sucks you have to deal with people like that. I'm sure you were just trying to help them but hey, like you said, weirdly many people that really need extra money won't do a good enough job to get more work. Thus the cycle continues.

Wow, that place is so cool, it’s huge, I could totally be happy there, but maybe not because it is so big. I don’t really know what’s happened or what you’re going to do, besides living in your little cabin, but sheesh, seeing it, holy cow, you’ve got so much to do! Downsizing is so hard, I should say purging is so difficult, it’s so weird, we live in a house built in 1954, there is no freakin storage at all, like really, did they not have a lot of stuff? It really makes you think, like what the hell, I think we are frugal, but right now we are cleaning out our garage again! Truth be told, I’m thinking, if you do a lot of stuff yourselves you end up with a lot of stuff, like extra building supplies and what not. Anyway, you’re getting there, and by the way, you’ve got great design sense,love the colors and the space.

I got out after 15 years as well… still here in Hubert but looking for change. It seems like you guys have similar values as us so after digging into Missouri it seems so affordable for land! Take care guys 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great Video! Go Navy! lol Im retired Navy.

She looks just like Venessa Marcelle. the soap and movie star. You could star as Brenda on General Hospital. You look just like her.

Beautiful laundry room

Hi Megan, I’ve really enjoyed your channel. We are older but have just finished building our home in Tennessee. We have our barn full of stuff we are now beginning to sort and go through to get rid of. It is a big slow process and we don’t have a little child to raise at the same time!! Hats off to you through this process. I wanted to share a tip with you about the chickens. This is long but I think worth the read. You can look this up online for more info., It’s not new. Numerous years ago I read about it on one of the chicken forums. Instead of bedding like straw or shavings, get bags of sand, regular building sand from Lowe’s, the cheapest they have in stock. Put it about 4” deep in the floor of the coop, we even fill the nesting boxes. The sand will absorb all the moisture and leaves all the droppings on top. It lasts a long time and when you clean it all you need is a small tined leaf rake and shovel. The droppings rake up off the top easily into a pile, which I scoop into a bucket and dump on the compost pile. When I clean the sand out for new sand usually once or twice a year, I just add it where I need some in landscape dirt or toss it out into the run where it gets rained on but keeps run from getting muddy. It’s also good on their feet. I’ve never had any foot issues since using it. The best part is, it does not smell. No stink like shavings. You will be amazed. You can clean up the droppings and add more sand as needed. It’s also a big time saver. If you want to see some pics of mine, just let me know. You can see pics of our build on #ourlittlebarndominium under @countrycharisma on instagram. Blessings to you and Woody as you complete your build and prep to live in your cabin. Happy New Year!!

Hope ya'll had a great Holiday season, nice to see the barndominium in forward progress. New Year new blessings 🦋Welcome back to NC 🇺🇲

Keep up the Good work the house looks great!! Please get some rubber boots for cleaning out the chickens 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Great Job guys!

I really enjoy your channel 👍🏽can’t wait to see more 👏🏽👏🏽

Mija, you have to realize, that there are not anymore people like others that are trustworthy like you and your husband, feel your sorrow for leaving your animals, and come to found out they have done wrong for you and your property, after getting back😢🤠👌🇵🇷

Keep your head high... and you're back to what you know... regardless of how people act.. you know whats best for what you have. other people will never understand it.. they have their own problems. let e'm sort it out themselves.. You are doing good.. thinking they will be helpful. Just be how you are as always... you will learn new things, experience newer experiences, So keep on smiling and keep on growing at your own pace. Suggestion: 1. indoor slippers will not do in wet slippery muddy condition, you need to get some Oil/Mud Rubber boots (any color or Pattern), i worked in an oil field once.. in regular boots and believe me.. once i slipped and fell into the mud... am not going to wear regualr boots... so Oil/mud rubber boots are worn everytime. New wishes and blessing for the Newyear, Regards from Singapore, GOD bless.

Y'all have an excursion? We have an excursion too. And a white 4 doorf350 4x4 and a 4x4 dodge truck. If you use wood shaving in your coop and run you will avoid all that. 6 to 8 inches works great to keep things fresh for months

First, wallpaper only looks good if you do the entire visible area of the wall being covered. Second, wallpaper is put up by first gluing the wall, then gluing the paper and then fusing the two. This is so that it can't fall down easily by accidents. Third, cabinetry looks good when it's consistent, and if your planning on selling your barniminium, which seems likely, you should go less custom and more traditional for resell value. Lastly, you should have trusted your animals to someone you trusted to treat them the way you do instead of hiring someone who knew they wouldn't be watched. Next time, if you're going to do that, install cameras and inform them you'd be watching. They'd be more willing to put in more effort, or you'd be more aware of the situation. Either way, Hindsight is 20/20. My family did this growing up on a farm. Though it was much different than today. Today is easier.

35:34 what is that Hercules trolley doohickey?

Would you be offended if I ask what the dimensions of your barndominium are? I love it and think it looks amazing. You guys are fun to watch and do an amazing job! I’m in Knoxville Tn and I’m considering selling my house and getting some land to build one almost exactly like yours. Ty guys for the videos keep up the great work ❤️

So I thought you were selling the Barndominium and moving full time to the cabin. Maybe not? planning to keep both places going? Btw, I was always wondering why you would move from NC to the Midwest. What is wrong with NC? So many people moving to NC from all over the county. I lived in NC for 8 years and traveled to every one of the 100 countries for my job. I got to know it very well. Somehow, though, it never fell like home..

3:08 lady you need your rubber boots with great grip

Those chickens needs to be out on grass and out of mud!

No one will take care of your stuff like you. Stop being bitter

This is going to kick your ass. Stop crying and get to work.
