Hiya, in this vid you said it was easy to handle the rodent problem. Do you have a vid how you did it or can you tell me how? I got mice and squirrels popping into my green house and eating my greens. Usually, the mice would burrow under the greenhouse and sometimes those squirrels would use those tunnels.

@@wumao6797 You need the right traps and a cat. It’s the combo of both the does the trick. We don’t even have a cat but our neighbors barn cat makes its way over every winter when the rodent population is high.
I hope millions see this video and understand how much work goes into growing the food we eat. Farmers will never get enough recognition for the hard work we put in daily! Appreciate you and this video!

Remember, there are a LOT of people who will say “why do all that work, just go to the store for your food.” Yes, they are out there.
Your commitment to growing food is remarkable and incredibly inspiring. What a huge asset the high tunnel will be to your homestead.
Beautiful Marriage...Children...Family....Home...Life....We ( Admire ) You Both... Your Hard Work and the Integrity you share with us....Your Children Are Blessed to Have you as Parents...
I can not get over how fantastic this video is. We installed a big greenhouse for my Mum, it was her lifelong dream. However, it is tiny compared to yours😂. And installing wasn't as harmonious as what I can see from your footage (it was pure frustration 😂) Showing there are always better ways, even if the challenge is bigger, yours was huge, like the tunnel. Your children are already handier than me 😂 beautiful family❤
I enjoyed the tour. What a wonderful blessing it is to be able to feed your family from your garden. ❤
Loved this video. I am a new mom to a 4 month old boy and dealing with severe PPA/D. I feel like I will never have my productive old life back. Seeing this video, seeing you working with your kids and your little guy conked out while you work gives me so much hope. Thank you!

Wow! Becky, some women go wild over jewelry or designer clothes. You look so elated about that tunnel. Loved this video for all the reasons I always love your videos. You and Cam are so funny! I see where the kids get it. Loved all the kids working with you and Cam teaching Noelle how to do tasks normally taught to boys. Riggs is getting so big already! Congratulations on your tunnel. This acquisition may also help with your winter doldrums by allowing you to continue doing what you love year round.
A high Tunnel, it means more content for us, can't be more happy, I wish you guys all the best
Cams dedication to you and the kids brings tears to my eyes. That's so many hours of work!
I really love that your husband and kids seem to really enjoy helping you with the high tunnel.
That’s awesome! 👏🏻 I love to watch you guys tackle big projects as a family! Very inspiring! I want a tunnel! It’s going to have to be a small one in my backyard! 😅
Polytunnels are great fun if you ask me, totally love my small one, wish i had a mega one like yours, Love you got the kids involved too
This is so cool! I love seeing everyone helping put it together! Super excited to see y’all grow in there too! ❤
I am so excited to see what you do with this space. Thank you for your videos, I love how y’all document the various seasons.
Hardworking, intelligent, talented family, admire you!
This was super informative! We love your families enthusiasm in doing garden projects! Cam is so funny, I love his sense of humor and fun! The baby sure is getting big, loved his smiling face and him peeking out of the high tunnel! Great video as ALWAYS!!
Becky so excited for y’all. Looks amazing. Many Winter blessings to y’all.
Enjoyed watching the entire family take part in building the greenhouse 👍👍 makes everything worth it in the end.
When your daughter stops wearing that watermelon hat, I’m gonna cry. Your children are amazing.
So beautiful! I live in the Netherlands and we don’t have so much land. I like this so much. So nice how everyone is helping.
What a great addition! Those tunnels are awesome! I love to see how involved the children are, so great to see all the teaching, that you both do, along with projects! Great job everyone! 😊 I'm sure you'll grow an abundance of food for your family. Enjoy!
Watching your whole family build your high tunnel made me smile, and admire what great people all of you are. Thanks for sharing all of your hard work and knowledge with us on this project!
What a huge accomplishment for your family and wonderful to see the entire family working on it together. Good luck with your plants this fall and have fun next spring with the seed starting area!
Watching your family work together all of the time is so beautiful ♥️
Absolutely wonderful!! Looks amazing! Y'all did a great job! Happy winter growing folks. God Bless 😊
So exciting! What a great addition to your homestead.
I am so impressed and inspired by the work y'all did in putting the high tunnel up. You have inspired me to expand my vegetable and herb garden. Thank you!
Your family's hard work looks great. Thank you for the fantastic video.
It looks fabulous!! I have never been so happy for you all ❤️ Just today I was thinking...Oh, yay. Saturday is coming and we get to see the "secret" build you all we're doing. What a fantastic surprise to get it today 😁 Now I have to go watch again 😂❤️
WOW - A lot of dedicated work to get it built abd wonderful to see all the family working together~just Amazing! Baby Riggs is adorable💙
You guys never stop amazing me as a family, love love what you all do, just a fabulous video.
That last shot 24:30 did it for me... the love and care that you put into each plant... that hit home for me. We live on a third floor walkup with very little room for gardening, but where I can, I do.
You could brew beer in the high tunnel, the co2 would boost growth and you have something to celebrate with at the end of the year. Also bee keeping.
Beautiful!! I love that everyone is helping to get your dream come true!! God bless your family! 🥰
That's very exciting, I'm excited fro you and all the additional growing you'll be able to do!
Beautiful family. Your baby is Uber adorable! Best wishes for a healthy and happy homestead. ❤
I'm so happy for your family ❤❤
this was so satisfying to watch :D i wish you and your family a abundant winter, love from Brazil
What a huge project! Well done!
Okay this looked like so much work I couldn't believe it. And I am impressed at Cam's know-how but more impressed that each kiddo worked alongside doing very helpful things! Great job all. It's beautiful! Going to completely be worth it!
It’s fantastic!! Y’all put in so much work.
My hats are off to you guys. All of you did a wonderful job. I now appreciate all what farmers do.
You guys are goals!! I’m so impressed!! Great job and congrats on the new high tunnel!
A great, awesome video, its always great to see a family all muck in and help. Thank you for sharing your day
Thank you all so much for sharing. I have learnt so much practical stuff but family and perseverance
You should install some area near the ceiling for the chicken to hang out. The highest place is the warmest place as heat rises. It would also help the chicken survive if some predator animal made it inside the tent, but cannot climb or fly to go after the chicken. All it takes is some long wood planks across the tent installed next to one another until you got a ceiling floor, for the chicken. And you got a nice work crew there, by the way:)
Your homestead is beautiful! Thank you so much for teaching us the how of it all. It looks overwhelming to me until you show how you do it. Still a lot of incredible work. 😊

I have been binging on your channel to get caught up to the present. You and your family are such hard workers! I can appreciate the humor y’all still carry through working. A freeze dryer is on my wishlist!🤞🏻 I had already guessed that you would get a larger one. Use the small one for your herbs and the big one for larger freeze drying.
Oh man, so awesome!!!
The bloopers were the cherry on top of a great video! I couldn't stop laughing through them.
Wow how good is Cam building that , and you and the kids of course 😊, it's going to be awesome for your veg growing ,can't wait to see your harvests from it ,I have high tunnel envy ,if only I had the space to have one.
Thank you, Doug! You give it to us straight, and as unfiltered as you can) It's too bad YT is not allowing more facts to be told; but my husband and I listen to every podcast you create. And..we always come away with good solid information) Thank you Doug & Stacey ❤
Wow, wow, wow, that is so cool and it looks so nice and it´s like it has always been there. Wish you the best week-end.
Your family definitely know how to work together. Great job teach the kids core values.
What an awesome high tunnel. I can't wait to see what you grow.
Terrific family project! 💪😊
You guys are amazing!! Great family efforts!! 👏👏👏
That is a nice greenhouse. 52 years ago, I worked for IBG building fiberglass and steel greenhouses. The structure and controlled weather was state of the art. Yours does the same thing as a hundred thousand dollar greenhouse. You guys are awesome.
SOOOOO Exciting!It looks great and I ADORE that you and your whole family worked together AND had some fun together, too!
I enjoyed watching the whole family work together. I learned a lot. I was going to buy a Harbor freight greenhouse. You have me rethinking that decision. Thank you so much for the information.
Becky, your husband is such a goof! Love it!
I hope people appreciate their hard work together!!
Wow, so much assembly and working out
Beautiful family!! Good job!
I just subscribed to this wonderful family channel. What a monster high tunnel. Glad to see that you started planting the minute you could start. It really keeps the momentum going. Thanks for having this kind of content for us. I'm from Central Oklahoma.

Oh wow, that really is going to be a game changer for you! It really is nice to see you all working together. Thanks for sharing it with us. ♥
May Father bless you with all you need. Love your channel. I love your family silliness.
Being able to grow food all year round is a game changer. We live in growzone 10b so that’s what we do. It enables us to grow enough food for 5 people on a 4k square feet raised bed garden and a 3.3k square feet forest garden. The forest garden are planted with trees that ripen at different times during the year, so that we have fresh fruit all year round. I have 16 raised beds, but because I can grow all year, it’s like having double that. Congratulations on your new high tunnel.
Looks great. We’re still looking for a good and affordable land we can move into to fully embrace homesteading.

I live on almost an acre but I'm wanting to move into something larger so bad because there are several issues with this property including some issues with neighbors, heavy traffic, etc. But Interest rates are so astronomical because our dumbass governemt- & I'll just leave it at that... but yea smh. It would cost us an additional $500 per month for a 30 year loan, to get a house the SAME cost as ours... 😔

@@lyndad1255hogwash! I just had a meeting with my financial advisor. It's because the Gov keeps printing money which allows for more spending. My investment account tanked in 2021. It's just a repeat of what happened when Obama was in office. If you print money there will be inflation. The housing market was about to bust again because of the home buying frenzy created by COVID.

Enyojable to se all family work as a team, gives the children purpose and goals in life. Thanx for sharing.
Put a big bolt from the hardware store inside that swedged end of the anchor pipe. Then when you hit it with the hammer it wont bend out of shape. We watched this whole instructable then commented to each other that we wanted to watch it again just for enjoying being with you and your family.

Hi guys, love your tunnel. Over here in Australia a lot of folks drive star pickets in the ground, then bend black poly water pipe and slip them down the picket, then string low profile roof top hat along the length, some timber along the base and then roll heavy duty clear plastic over the structure, very similar to how you guys have done yours. That is a great set up you have got though, should get years old benefit from it. Well done family
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Great job 😊
