it never ceases to amaze me how fast an accident can happen. glad you are ok

Almost all accidents happen when you feel under pressure to hurry. You're thinking more of finishing, not safety. I'm so thankful the accident wasn't worse. God bless you.

I have said this time and time again, "NEVER put your finger on the trigger until your target is acquired and you have secured the target and what is beyond it!" I guess this also rule also applies to nail guns. Those breakfast casseroles you make always look so good! Healing & Blessings to all.

normaly without touching the nose, it can not shoot. this is what you need totest from time to time, that the safety is still good.

Weapon safety rule #1 - keep finger off trigger. Escaped with a minor injury and a huge lesson. Build coming along great. Looks good

Yes! It took you like half an hour to realize that you’d been shot. I was stunned at your reaction. And Gina’s. Then I thought, ok which way was the gun angled. Thank you Lord that you spared Al and Gina today on the farm. Your mercies endure forever😇

Never , never ever ever put your finger on the trigger until the gun hits the wood even on a roof gun ! Your finger is the safety on any gun ! I commend Gina for not freaking out ! Great job ! I hope you feel better this morning Al !

Thank God you're okay Al! The good Lord is watching out for you! And you're beautiful family! God Bless you and your family!

I'm with Gina - it could'a been a lot worse, and thank the Lord it wasn't!! That nail could've hit bone, or a large blood vessel, a nerve or even an organ and it would've been a whole different scenario. Praise the Lord that it just hit muscle! Praying for a quick healing, Al! 🌷🙏🙏🌷

I find that injuries usually happened in the last part of a project. You get excited and lose a bit of focus. Speedy recovery, Al.

Morning. Winter 2019, I slipped on the ice in the driveway and landed on my right hip. I felt fine until the next day when I was so sore I could not walk. Spent 3 weeks laying and sleeping on the sofa. After the pain went away I found I still could not walk. Went to the hospital and a MRI showed major damage to my pelvis. 2 surgery's, 6 weeks in the hospital and rehab and I still have trouble walking and its been more than a year. Doctor says I am stuck with this issue. Sometimes the simplest injury and led to major issues. Hope you are well soon.

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow" glad you are free from major injury

My dad got his hand caught in a hedge trimmer once, not serious, but in the E.r. he asked the doctor if he would be able to play piano. She said yes, and he said "that's wonderful. I've always wanted to be able to play the piano."

It's amazing how a little colour lifts the appearance of food. That was a great bake! Sore one with the leg. At least you did not pin the tail on your donkey!😭. Strange how the body reacts. Should have a nice rainbow leg for a few days. At least you are on the good side of a bad situation, thank God! Our chickens have stopped laying this past week, either that or there is a big pile of eggs somewhere in the garden! They are about a year and a half old, so first moult coming. Plan to pamper them with a handful of corn for supper to help them through. Lovely views through the trees. Stay safe! Regards Stephen.

I have to say Al, you have done fantastic with this being the only accident with all the jobs you have done, Gina, you were a star for not freaking out 🌟👍 there are easier ways to get a day off lol glad you are OK

Im really glad that you are alright Al. Time to slow down a bit. By the way the barn is looking amazing. Have an amazing Thursday, Andreas 🇸🇪

I just sent a prayer up thanking God for being there for you & asked for Him to keep you, Gina & Olivia safe. You never know what could happen when you're building or even working around the farm. I'm just thankful it wasn't a worse injury & I'm glad you're almost finished with the high work on the garage/hay barn. Al, Gina & Olivia please stay safe on the homestead & especially when you're working on your buildings. I know Gods got you all covered but taking your time & double checking for your safety is still your #1 priority. Blessings to you & yours.

So glad you’re ok. That nail makes me cringe, and I’m a nurse. Now you know how sturdy they hold the wood ! Praise the Lord that it was only soft tissue and didn’t hit a vessel. You’re guardian angel was truly watching out for you! You’re a tough man. Yea those tetanus shots deliver a wallop, but hey, it beats the alternative....Bless Gina’s heart! I know it was frightening. Thank goodness she was with you. Take care and thanks for reminding people to take safety precautions. Everyone thinks that it will never happen to them; and we know how experienced you are. Lots to be thankful for this upcoming Thanksgiving 🙏🏻💗✝️💉🔨

Having been shot with a nail gun myself I can honestly say WELCOME TO THE CLUB... accidents happen so please be careful. Your reaction was a lot more calm than mine, cursing and swearing all the way to the hospital

So thankful your injury was not serious Al. 🙌🏼 Slowing down is key. I nearly severed my thumb off with a saw because I didn’t slow down. The thumb doesn’t work very well but I still have it!👍🏼

Al, That has to be the final nail that you hammer into the building! Undies attached lol. You're both so handy with your nail guns, very envious of your skills! take care!

Hi Al and family, you take care my friend. ‘I nailed that’ is not supposed to be a literal thing. Blessings

A carpenter with a nailer has become like a blood sport. You had taken one for the team.

Al, as my mother used to always tell me when I goofed, "The hurrieder you go, the behinder you get!" Wise words from a wise woman. Rushing leads to mistakes and accidents, whether driving somewhere, plowing a field, or nailing trim work, you need to take your time. I'm glad that it was not more serious.

So glad you're ok Al. Will be praying for you. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Rm. 8:38 You are a great teacher Al. Your forthright honesty , showing us the good, bad and ugly, in all your endeavor is enlightening...and honestly ... very educational . I've said it before, I learn so much from you and ( unfortunately for you) this accident came at a opportune time for me. 😅 I've been talking to my mom ( she's my helper) about being careful when she hands me my nailers or is taking one from me. Your accident was the real life picture for her ( and myself) to see just how quickly something can happen. It's a clear message to me that, I too, need to S-L-O-W down abit. Thank you for being such a good sport when others are being somewhat critical or judgmental. We've all at some point had some kind of a "job site" fiasco...big or small...painful or funny ( took me 2 hrs to coax my mom off the shed roof one time and her foot was actually touching the ladder most of the time😂🤣) God bless you and heal you. Your family is a wonderful inspiration to many.

Well Al, I'm not on duty yet (Hospital Volunteer Chaplaincy Assistant) but, whether I'm here or there, I'm a prayin' for ya!

Use this experience to hold Gina's hand and say you love her. We don't know how long we have on this Earth but we do know who and what is important in our lives from God and family to friends and viewers who follow your life story every time you set a video up. Bless you, all.

The nail hit a knot in the wood and went into my thumb at the first joint and the point came out in the fat part of my palm.

I glad you’re alright Al. Just another scar from build but a small price for your labor of love! Everything is looking spectacular 👍🙏

I stated in another video, the Makita MAC700, known as the Big Bore is an excellent small compressor. 2.5 gallon size. Follow the break-in procedure, by filling with oil, open the petcock on the tank and let it run for 30-45 minutes. Close the petcock and you're ready to use. The Makita is a good compact size, light in weight, around 45 pounds, easy to carry, and again, quiet in operation. For sanding furniture, install a oil/water separator inline. Oil-less (like the pancake compressor you have) compressors have a problem with throwing connecting rods out the side. That's one of the reasons oil-less compressors are so noisy.

So glad it wasn't worse, Al! Be careful with that nailer! 😁 Great to see all the progress on the barn and already excited for the next big project!

So thankful you were not injured seriously Al. God is good. Looking forward to seen the finishing of the barn. ❤️

Emergency's are one of the reasons it is good to have a set of clothes in a vacuum sealed bag in the car as you never know when you will need a change of clothes and you never know when you want them to be easier to put on so looser fit. Keeping the clothing in a vacuum sealed bag means no pests, water damage or chemicals in the car spilling on them so they will be how you put them in months or a year later. For those that have avoided any major injuries that require a trip to the ER they often need to cut off the clothing or dispose of it due to blood staining so you will need a different outfit when you get discharged.

Glad to hear you are ok. Accidents occur so easily.

Need to take that nail and hang a plaque up that says Blessed or some such. Thats a special nail.

Ouch!!! Just glad you're ok Al. I enjoy watching your builds as well as seeing the animals. Gina your cooking dinner gives me ideas for my own family. Thank you!

" NAILED IT " Ouch glad your "AL" right be safe love ya guys.

Years ago I had to have a bulging disc repaired in my neck. After the surgery I awoke to no pain and in a recovery room surrounded by physician assistants. The Gent next to me was recovering from having a nail removed from his skull. Somehow he fell on or with the nail gun and manage to get “shot” on the head. He recovered just fine but oh so scary for the family. Those guns have the potential to do much damage - you were lucky treat it like a ‘gun’ as it really is.

I'm glad you were lucky and it wasn't too bad. I must admit I recently "stung" my thumb on a table saw when I wasn't concentrating. Fortunately there was only a tiny amount of blade showing above the wood. A valuable lesson to us both.

Looking at these “old” videos is fun! Gina milking goats, the corn-pone music-which I love, and the “old” homestead. You guys can really count your many blessings. I hope things are as good or better today as it was when this vid was published.

Oh my gosh!!! I am glad that you are ok Al. And Gina is right, you never want to pull out a nail just in case it is in an artery, bone or something else important. Praise God it wasn’t worse. I pray for healing! 💜🙏🏻

Oh my goodness I'm glad you're going to be fine, sore, but fine! Tell you the truth, I thought you had broken a bone from the posted picture!!! So happy you're ok!! 😊

Yes, they have foliage in Arizona. 'Foliage' refers to the leaves of plants. There are leafy plants in Arizona. Your deciduous trees have foliage from spring through autumn. You are enjoying the varied, changing, autumnal colors of the foliage that has been around you since it budded out in spring. And, indeed, they are far more glorious than what can be seen around Phoenix where Hope was born.

I’m so glad you’re ok & things weren’t worse than they could’ve been, Al. NEVER pull out a puncture wound bc you can bleed out from that spot which is seriously bad brews. Also get to the ER immediately bc you could get lockjaw which can be fatal. Lots of medical personnel in my family which is why I know this. You provided some excellent education in this vid & that breakfast casserole looked delish as all Gina’s meals do. Heal well and be careful!

Someone was looking after you Al! Understanding your work ethic, I am really surprised you weren't back on the lift as soon as you got back fro the ER.

I’m so glad you’re okay Al. I was worried. Please be careful. God bless you all.

Don’t apologize you’ve been working so hard your a real grafter. I love your attitude to things they always get done, you both work really hard, and make great vlogs.

I'm so happy you weren't seriously injured. You'll probably take extra precautions handling the nail gun in the future & not rush. Please stay healthy & safe for the remainder of this build.

Over my 30 years roofing, we’ve had a few ‘flesh wounds’. So glade with a nail that size it hit where it did.

When the air nailers first came out we were sheithing the roof of a condo unit we had framed down in Manchester New Hampshire. When nailing sheithing it is tempting to hold the trigger and just tap the gun on the plywood. One of the boys on our crew ended up nailing his heal to the roof. We had him mostly cut out. We had to cut out a section of the truss and the plywood. The fire department got him down off the third floor roof with the 2x4 and plywood still mailed to his hesl. You have to be very careful with nail guns.
