Nice job! I'm learning, no pigs yet, but gathering info. I especially loved how you jumped in and did more than most people would ever think of. That pig house. WOW! Using what you had, trees from the property. You nailed it. And made it extra large. Thinking about the animals. Your channel will do well and go far. Keep up the excellent work. You also lowered my stress about the electrified fence set up. Look forward to watching your other videos.

This looks quite cool. I'd be looking to get some black surfaces in there - grey or dark colored gravel on the ground, paint walls black so that when UV light comes in, it hits a black surface which converts it to heat and warms the air. A second sheet of plastic on the inside of the roof rafters will half the rate of heat loss when the sun goes down.

Can you make a video about your fencer setup? I'm planning on doing solar next year, but I'm not sure how it will work on my property. Any updates or suggestions on raising pigs in the wire fence would be appreciated as well. I like your style with the rough cut and functionality of the farm. Great job!

If I could make a suggestion, you could install a small sump pump to adequately remove excess water from the heat battery. Secondly, you could divert the water retrieved from the heat battery into a barrel, thus having immediate access to 'Tempered' water. I always water my seedlings with water that's close to 20C or 68F and always water them from the bottom. I use a larger tray and then dip my seedling trays in the water. This will help prevent 'Dampening Off', especially when you're running the risk of big night time temperature fluctuations. Cheers!

Boy oh boy do you have a lot to learn. I built my greenhouse 2 years ago. This spring I missed a day opening the vents and everything cooked on an unusually warm day. Then I had to start over. Now I have automatic vents. I must also heat it at night. So much to learn....

If you raise hot peppers with sweet peppers you will have all hot peppers. They cross pollinate very easily.i had 4 x 8 ft beds and wound up with all peppers. I suggest hot on one end of the greenhouse and sweet on the other.

If that’s the case, a water circulation circuit would do better than air. You’d have to make it frost proof. Or sealed air circuit, many, small diameters. If you get below the frost line with your excavation, you shouldn’t insulate from the warm soil. Good luck, i’ll go see if there are updates

I don't know what to say. I watched you almost die. You need a friend that understands a little about gravity, right now. If you are going to keep risking your life. Here are a few words of advice. If you give something HEAVY the chance to fall, swing, pivot, curl, twist or spring, IT WILL...so, you have to plan for that reaction to happen, and rig to absorb all the energy released. You need to add 'sleepers' and dead mans' at every point that heavy thing will not be on the ground. This requires extra lumber to your project. I hope you read this, I don't ever want to see a ledger beam swing and rage across you again. Never walk that far in without bracing the first, second, third and so on. Bracing NEEDS to be attached to what it is bracing as if it can hold the entire beam as you progress. Never walk to the middle before the first beam is braced. That beam needs to be fully supported and braced before being attached to the wall stud. Bracing has to be built along with the wall. You gotta learn how to use the creepers and dead men I mentioned if working alone. Pivots, fulcrums, ropes, lashing, rigging...any of this ring a bell? To your plus, you are using off cuts.

Jerome`s information is out of date, 5 air changes per hour just isnt enough. I would recommend designing for at least 20x for effective cooling performance and ideally more if you can. A 50ft long 4" corrugated tube with multiple bends will present a large resistance to air flow. The less airflow you have, the less heat you can move from A to B in a given time. Typically, when used for cooling, the air will take less than a second to drop to the mass temperature. If you place temperature sensors inside a tube at regular intervals you can see where the air reaches ground temperature. Any tube length beyond this point is a waste because the air coasts through it without any further change in temperature. Assuming your 50ft tube was dead straight and you are running 80cfm through it, it would take a shade over 3 seconds to travel through the tube. Worst case is you only have 33% of the tube actively transferring heat. If you had 3 tubes 16.6ft long, you`d have 100% of the tube active. The tube surface area (heat transfer potential) of 1x 50ft and 3x 16.5ft is identical, the difference is in the amount of air you can run.

@@wildnorthfarms5085 The holes are in the wrong place to drain the condensate :) I`d recommend cutting a straight, shallow slit partway through the corrugations and locating the slit at the bottom when you install the tubing. This will prevent condensate sitting in the bottom of every corrugation.

Everyone I have seen make one of these geobank designs makes the same mistakes. A: The fail to provide enough drainage at an appropriate angle. B: They are working against physics by trying to pump the hot fluffy less dense air down underground, Instead of working WITH physics and pulling the cold air up out of the ground which will naturally enable efficient energy transfer into the thermal mass. Pulling on the cold dense side of the system results in an exponentially larger volume of hot air collected from the peak of the greenhouse.

@@wildnorthfarms5085 Ideally you want a reversible DC fan. Pull the cold air up during the day to charge the battery. and then reverse it to push cold air down at night from the lowest part of the greenhouse. That will push warmer air at the top (in greater volume) that will be drawn back down and across the greenhouse to extend your season. The mass you have is nowhere near enough to carry through over winter though.

@@wildnorthfarms5085 Space is cold because its a vacuum. When you create a decreased pressure zone, air readily gives up its energy to the mass. And as the mass reaches energy saturation, the point at where there happens will naturally move along the length of the system as it is drawn forward.
