    It never fails. When you make a bunch of plans, the wheel runs off. Usually I get the most done when I don't plan much. That was an outstanding deal on the corn and hopefully you'll be able to get corn from that farmer in the future. Give the pigs a little more time and they will probably warm up to more.

    My ex wife an I went through the very same issue, very laborious effort to find the perfect light fixture, even more work to acquire the perfect bulbs, only to have her crestfallen over the brightness of the the assembled effort. No worries, an $10 rotary dimmer made it all perfect and adjustable. Who knows, ir may work for you too. Great work Wes.

    I’ve changed a bunch of porch/patio posts using an old 4x4 and a $15 Harbor Freight hydraulic jack. Best way to secure the post to an existing slab is with a Simpson post base. You need a rotohammer and 1/2” bit. Then secure the base with a 3/8” Redhead anchor. Set the new post in place, release the jack and nail everything off.

    On the porch posts, many times I have used a 3-4 inch shorter 2x6 on a small hydraulic car jack to raise a roof a little for leveling. I always had a backup of the right size under, just in case it shipped. Mine never have; yet. You got the job done. They do make an aluminum plate with small feet that keep the post just an inch or so above the concrete. Last ones I bought were pretty cheap and better than replacing posts again. You can still anchor the posts in the center. Now, the guys that helped again righting the corn and re-securing. That's the kind of people I prefer to know and do business with. That's how I grew up and now miss that kind of people most days. They're out there, just not as many as my younger days.

    The boar you want to keep for breeding you should let him go to market. Next year get your boar as young of an age as you can and start training. Hopefully you will have him for years and will reward yourself anytime you have to deal with him. The last thing you want is a boar with a mean streak, or skittish. Inseminate Sue this year perhaps by a Vet. Why start out with a skittish boar that could give you troubled piglets or not a good mate for Sue? A friendly pig pen is the best for the owner and anyone that may want to buy your piglets. Just my thoughts. I believe your right about the 6 weeks vs 8 week old piglets. That time makes all the difference. Best wishes to you and your family. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing, Deb

    I believe those "Big Bags" are known as "Gaylords." Plastic beads used for injection molding, seed, cement, and the like, are also shipped in them, when the amount shipped doesn't justify the use of a bulk trailer or rail car. When some hear "Gaylord" they think of the tail wagging doggy pull toy.
