Yes please Wes, show us all of your hunts

Even though it’s “just a chicken house “, you should still follow the basic grounding and bonding rules. 🙂 And use some strain relief connector where you enter a metal box. Protect your wire. I don’t see a ground wire anywhere. A metal box can become “hot” and without a ground the circuit won’t trip. It will use a chicken or a human for the ground if circumstances are set up. Wet floor is one of those circumstances. Be careful.

What flowerstone said x100. And being outdoors, everything should be fed from a GFCI as further protection.

Wes, good job, mechanically. However, in addition to the strain relief purpose mentioned, those connectors protect against getting wear point problems from the sharp edges of the entry and exit holes for the wiring. A couple of data points: 1) Most ordinary wiring problems are from fires due to electricity going places it ain't supposed to. Example: the light creates heat at it's power supply, fastened at the back of the fixture. That requires the fixture to NOT be fastened against flammable material. Your decision to hang it on chains was exactly the right thing to do, never mind that you had other reasons. 2) The National Electrical Code does NOT apply to buildings, it applies to everywhere that electricity is used. Just because you put it in an outbuilding (chicken coop) doesn't exempt people from complying with it. You're exempt because you aren't found out about it, and you've done a good enough (safe) job that it doesn't expose you with something like a fire that gets a public agency involved. (In the USA, the NEC has the status of the law behind it everywhere.) 3) If you're going to do a DIY job, look up an electrician friend who can give you some background details as you go along.

@@garybessey2184 Very good Gary! I'm into my fifth house and I see wiring done by licensed installers that is not to code. I seem to always be changing what went before by others. The National Electrical code exists to keep people safe from themselves.

In my younger years I couldn't wait for hunting season - both small and big game. YES - would love to watch down home hunting videos.

Wes, my dad always raised chickens in a 3-sided coop - with the closed side facing the NW prevailing winds. Now he did always raise the big breeds like Cornish Cross but I have never seen one freeze to death or even suffer much from cold. So yelp yours is more than adequate already I'd say. Thanks for sharing. And yes show the hunts - as long as we don't have to sit for hours and not even see a deer - like I use to do. 😁

If I add hunts I'll try to edit it to get to the point.

I knew there would be a bunch of electricians on here raising a fuss. 😅

I love your chicken house and it's even better with lights and water. I like how you reused the electrical supplies. I said farmers were sustainable long before it became hip and trendy.

XD I love your sense of humor in showing the little things we can relate to like dropping objects, bringing out the electric drill after all that screwdriver work, and making that pass that pushed absolutely no dirt

I would love to see some of your hunting videos. I always loved being out in the woods, sometimes you get lucky and harvest an animal, and sometimes you just get to see a lot of mother natures little creatures running around.

Yes I would enjoy watching your filmed hunts always enjoy watching your videos Thanks for sharing your videos and God Bless

Chickens lay eggs based on photoperiod, or the amount of light they are exposed to. To keep them from laying less eggs in the winter, you could put that light on a timer to automatically come on in the mornings. I wouldn't recommend doing it at night because if it goes out suddenly they might be caught off their roost... Just a thought. Thanks for the videos.

I always like to see subsistence off the land. And when we, by our presents, drive away predators we need to our part to keep the deer herds at a healthy level. To thin the deer herds is good for them and we can enjoy the meat. Good video!

Yeah, you mentioned something about filming your deer hunting that would be awesome. You should do that in a heartbeat kind of mixing it up a little bit. God bless you brother love your videos. Hope you get a big buck.

Yes deer hunt videos would be awesome. Full details on homestead living and that’s a big part of it.

Would love to see your hunting videos the lighted coop looks great

Great update Wes! Water & electric installed - good job done. Stay safe & well. 👍👍

Great job on your chicken house. Enjoy watching. God bless

Yes, do some hunting videos!!! Food plots, feeders, all of it!

Good job, now you can see those chickens at night.. might even put a radio in there so they can listen to the weather. Lol

I’d like that Wes. I can’t hunt as much as I used to, due to a bad wreck years ago. Take care and stay safe! Hello to all! Good luck! God bless!🙏✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My Pop raised me that way...he never got rid of anything......that's really good today the cost of everything is crazy high....good job

I air dry my material and it works great for me! Good video!

Good job 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦

this electrical job is giving me cursed vibes. The way it looks, this will soon be the kentucky fried chicken house

Thank you for addressing the solar kiln..I'm getting closer to the point to where I can build ours and plan on building it with the large doors.

Upcycle = frugal. I’m all in because I work for what I have. Love your videos.

Chain is a good idea. That way when the ballast fails and bursts into flames it won't burn the coop down. Power will go off and save the coop. Great installation and way to reuse products.

I liked your comment when you flipped the breaker on the first time!! We always say “what’s the worst that can happen?” 😂

I am not sure if the solar kiln reaches the temperature needed to kill off bugs that may be in your wood. I know for sure air drying will not. Bugs will tend to lay eggs in and around the area in which they were hatched from. So some of you wood you are air drying may be the incubator for the next round of insects hatching from your projects.

Great job, Suggestion..... I would have put that wire in electrical conduit, for the chicken safety. If one of the chickens decides to peck on that wire you will have fried chicken that day.

would love to see some hunting content! keep up the great work!

nicest chicken coop ive seen. I need to make another one. I scrapped the last one after my entire flock got decimated by racoons. Share the hunts! I still need to get in the stand a few more times this season myself.

Man Wes, you missed a golden opportunity. When you said “what could go wrong “ I was hoping you flip the breaker and cut to a shot of a house blowing up!! Man that would have been funny!! Yes to the hunts please. Always enjoy your videos.

Great video. Always enjoy your content. Keep up the great work.

Great video as always! Would love to see the hunt videos too! Growing up - when we had a mean chicken we'd 'invite it to dinner' 🙂. Very effective....

The perfect home for a mean chicken is a two gallon pot! Don't forget to provide plenty of water, a bit of salt and plenty of heat. 🤪

I do not care what they call it. Re-using and adapting stuff you already have is a good, solid tradition that has been used for millennia.

Chickens don’t need to be warm they need to be dry and out of the wind. Don’t waist your time with heat. And they don’t like light after dark they will start to roost elsewhere if they can. Don’t ask me how I know. I came home one evening and looked into my coop to find only 4 chickens on the roost. Took a flash light and rounded up the other 20 from various places in the yard and put them back on the roost. Had to close the chicken run back up for a week to get them to stay on the roost at night. Finally figured it out they go to bed at dark regardless of whether there is a light on or not. Sooooo turn the light on in the morning and they will get up and start eating earlier and continue to lay all winter.

Nice project, from start to finish.

Definitely would like to see hunt videos.

Hey bud I’d just love to see some of your hunting for deer or whatever your hunting!!! Thanks for your videos. Your one of the most realistic video producers. I’ve been watching for years. I have no clue why I’m not subscribed at least on my phone but sure i am on my TV. Wish I could comment on tv but have to go to phone KZread for that

Time to make chicken soup!

That is amazing!

Yeah, show your hunting!! Aloha!

You could turn the kiln into a green house to start your plants in spring

I for one would love to see some hunting videos. Great channel and videos. Thank you.

I don't mind hunting videos at all other than making me envious!

Not to waste any material, that's really protecting the environment 👍👍

Yes to the hunting vids.

lets see the whole damn hunt, stand to complete harvest!

I would also enjoy seeing your "hunt's".

Yes! "Yes" to hunt videos.

Bro, I've been following your channel for a couple of months. Those chickens will try to roost on top of that lamp if you hang it by chains. Don't ask me how I know. It may create a mess or a hazard to the chickens. Put the light directly on the roof rafter is the best way to go. Good luck.

@@falllineridge A quick fix, if the try/do roost on top of the hanging fixture ..... take just enuf chicken wire, fold it in half (stay with me here) like a pup tent, put it up and over the beam the light is hanging from, then duct tape the chicken wire to the long sides of the light fixture. If there is a concern of them going inside the chicken wire tent, you could put triangles of the wire at the ends, but I wouldn't imagine that they would even be able to get inside the wire tent. Just a suggestion ...... unless you again try attaching the light to the beam like it was in the beginning.

I’d love to see some hunting videos ! Great video as always.

Mean chicken = chicken soup.

you should take one of your true 2 x 10 or bigger and groove the back so that the 2 x board can slide onto the bucket and make it a plow on the tractor.

Did you give up on the solar kiln . I finally got my lt15 wide after a year and four months waiting and was considering building a kiln like yours.

Where you live you won't need any supplemental heat for the chickens. I have electricity in my coop and never use it. Mean chickens make good stew hens. I always like to see hunting. I killed a good 8 point today. Processing 50 chickens for a friend tomorrow and making venison sausage tomorrow evening. I see a big resemblance between you and your son when you are concentrating on work.

That hen was pissed off because you had that DAMN LIGHT ON!!! They get used to day/night just like you and can't sleep with the light on. That outlet in the house was OK and convenient for later, That light was at best UNNECESSARY!!!!!
