Learning how to operate a tractor and its various implements at a young age is as valuable as learning how to read.

Absolutely, one of those many life skills are only being thought in home education.

As much as I'd like to see you vlogging on holiday, My little vote is for you to take s break. We'll cope and you'll hopefully be all the better for the holiday and the pause. Cheers.

You've so much done Bruce & family👏👏👏 it takes me 3 goes to finally get it right; very few of us get it right first time😂 as for the fly tipping going on up your road, u shouldn't have to pay for other people's rubbish, check with Clare Co council, myself & my husband did litter picks when we lived in Meath & the County Council supplied bags & litter pickers for everyone involved & then collected the rubbish we picked which was quite a lot as it was a beach & sand dune pick up. Also, there is an 'Adopt a road' programme you could check out online to see if Clare Co Council are involved.

What a wonderful video, it’s so nice to see how it’s all come along. You and Annie were our inspiration on moving to Ireland back in 2022. I, for one would love a video on how not to start a homestead before we most likely go on to make all the same mistakes lol. The pathway to the yurt looks great too. So many times we do jobs that we have put off and they take so little time you wonder why you didn’t do it in the first place. I had to nod in agreement with the land where you say if you jump you can feel it all move beneath you as ours is the same too. It’s a weird sensation isn’t it? Cabinets in the bedrooms look bloody great well done! Yay for the dishwasher! We love it when Annie features…she always makes us chuckle! I’ll say it again really good vlog really enjoyed it. ❤ ooh ooh almost forgot well done to Elsie for driving the tractor she did a great job with the stone 😊

Pvc fence spikes I guess. If you go to your local agri store they would have them. Get the tall ones

Great video Bruce. Lots of work done in only a few years. I'm based in Clare myself and have problems with pine martins. I was wondering what type of electric fencing you are using for your chicken run ? Thanks

I have Voss poultry farm netting. Great stuff but easy to tangle. I also have my 2 bigger dogs out until all are locked away and I have an automatic door on the hen house. Made the coup fox and pine marten proof.

Thanks Bruce I’ll check out the Voss netting👍🏻 I think Gallagher’s do something similar. Yeah sounds like you have the coop properly predator proof. Definitely needed for the pine martin. Lovely creatures but they are deadly when it come ls to poultry. I’ve seen your videos on making the coop and also the one with your automated door, nice one.

Splendid path. So why didn’t you make it a year ago 😅😊
