Good morning Mike and Lyssa Mike there is a tool called a T post puller at Tractor Supply. I know about pricey stuff, but sometimes a tool is necessary for a easier life. Love you guys, your doing an awesome job.

Hi Mike and Lyssa, everything is very expensive. Love the intro. Looks like fun at the lake . Hope the electric fence will keep your furbabies in and safe. Wednesday loves the water. You look so pretty Lyssa. Serenity is so pretty and sweet little girl. That's a lot of Shale. Shes a great helper . Glad your doing better Mike. I know that hurts to hit your thumb. Y'all take such good care of your animals. 👍 Enjoy your videos and the music. Thats a huge spider. Yikes. Bless her heart Wednesday found it. Take it easy Mike and dont over do it. And continue to get well. Have a great weekend and God Bless DD5 ❤

G’day Mike. Just a tip to assist you. The Electric fence cable connectors you were knocking into the posts. Get a drill bit half the size of the nail and do a pre drill to make knocking in easier. Second tip use a pin or a half inch bolt to knock the nail in. Gives you an easier target and less likely to knock your fingers off. Cheers mate. Ken Australia 🇦🇺

Hi Mike & Lyssa & Serenity u can use some pvc pipe to run the extension cord from the control box to the hot wire

You need to put a note book on your phone and write down what you buy and when. For fun the price

T post driver works on ground rods and wetting the ground helps.

Good morning 😊❤. Hopefully that will keep the dogs 🐕 in there .

Get a high-lift jack you can pull T post and use it for a winch has all kinds of purposes some people call it a farm jack you can find one at any hardware store Walmart anywhere you won’t regret it and they’re pretty cheap

You might want to pour cement around the outer side of the fence.

I like the electric wire for the fence. I think I'm going to look into that. I put welded wire on the ground all the way around the fence and tacked it down the stakes. Kept my dog from digging out but then she decided to chew through the welded wire that is up on the fence. I went out and bought 12 horse panels and put that over the welded wirde but would have been a lot easier if I would have gone with the electric.

We had two huskies and they dug under the fence and climbed or jumped the fence. We connected chicken wire to bottom of fence and went down 2 feet and when they started jumping the fence had to put them on a chain inside the pen.The electric wire didn't phase them. We hated to put them on chains but had no choice we were aware of. Good luck!

Hello DD5

Wanted to mention I saw this on another you tube channel South Texas Roots where this man put down dry concrete on his driveway then boxed bladed it yo smooth it and added water to it.. He says he's trying to build a firm foundation before putting more gravel on his driveway ...I thought would this work for your driveway? Wanted to run this past you maybe David also.

Yes look up dry pouring concrete. Looks pretty tough and solid once it's done. Easiest way to do it, unless your made of $$ and just write a check.

maybe shale or carpet under the pool would help keep water cleaner longer? Just a suggestion. You guys take such good care of your animals. exciting to see your going to have chickens for fresh eggs too.

Up to y’all but as I was watching when Mike was stripping out that extension cord that it looked pretty sunny over at the chicken coop. Could you hang it up towards the top to where it faces the sun. I don’t think any of the chickens will be going up there and that way you don’t have to risk constantly running it over risking damaging it or getting it to where it doesn’t work possibly. Just a thought. Unless it just happened to look sunny over there and it isn’t sunny enough. Just a thought guy’s.

I think that should work fine Dreamers the older dogs are respectful of it and Wednesday will soon learn lol. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

Unfortunately some people are born Crepe Hangers. Let me tell you what they are. In Italian villages when a death occured in the house, a black crepe wreath was hung on the front door to signify the death and everyone acted accordingly. So by extension, some people are born natural Bearer's Of Bad Tidings. Thought I would share with you my parent's favorite phrase.

Shovel the top off first

Use a t post driver to drive that grounding rod in. It’s so much easer until the rod is too low to use the driver. I would run hot wire around the top too, to keep any jumpers in. Y’all are doing an awesome job on your land. Mike, I don’t think you know how to take it easy. ❤❤❤❤
