McFall Farms

McFall Farms

Follow us on our journey as we learn how to raise meat goats and live the farmlife.
We are located in North Florida a short distance from Jacksonville Fl.
I do as much as I can utilizing friends and family as we construct shelters, fences, pens, general livestock care and anything else we decide is necessary.
We started this journey at the end of 2018 and chose goats to raise as our primary livestock on our 46 acre farm.
Over time we will explore both livestock and agriculture.
We are also in the process of converting a metal prefab building into a custom home as funds become available.

Should you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
We know we won't do everything right, however we also know we will learn as we go.

We look forward to the journey and where it leads us.

    Enjoyed your video, my wife and I are going to be doing the same thing, i do have a few questions 1 how or what did you use to seal the metal walls or insulate to keep bugs, air and rodent out? 2 your step down shower, did you have to do it that way? 3 why is the 6x6 pole there , what code? Thank you again and good luck with everything

  • @McFallFarms
    @McFallFarms20 күн бұрын

    1.Insulation / sealing is closed cell spray foam ceilings and walls. We also used Sika 1A to seal the metal building frame to the concrete. 2. The step down shower seemed a good idea at the time. However, when we installed the tile we ended up filling the step down and went with a level walk in sloped to the drain. 3. The 6x6 pole was required by the county engineer because of the span. According to them giant LVL Beam wasn’t enough. We certainly didn’t want it. 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼🤠

    I'm just putting an electric fence around my garden to keep groundhogs out as one of them finally figured out how to break right through chicken wire. But, when I buy a house in a few years I plan to wrap most of the property in an electric fence. Your series has been great! Your smile is infectious!

    I sold my house in Florida bought some land in a small town near the smoky mountains, population 4000. Couldn’t be more happier living in my RV right now. I got a RV carport combo shed getting delivered soon. How old is that red paint was wondering how long it stays looking that good it looks brand new.

    Sounds awesome. Hope you are enjoying the journey. Took 3 coats of the red paint to get it covered. Currently about 7 years old and still looking great 👍🏼. Went with a high end Sherwin Williams paint and a BIN 123 primer base coat. Hope this information is helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼🤠

    A question I can't resolve looking through the net: I have a solar charger and need to know how to put washers and wingnut on the two (pos and neg) pegs on the unit. Help. Also, I am grateful for the info on this video.

  • @McFallFarms
    @McFallFarms2 ай бұрын

    It would be helpful to see the unit and parts but I assume you are asking if the order is wire then washer then wing-nut which I would say is correct. Or if you have 2 washers then sandwich the wire between the 2 washers. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼🤠

    Hello, great video. I am just north of you doing this myself. Can I ask what windows did you use? My siding is vertical, not horizontal and I am worried about leakage. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day!

  • @McFallFarms

    We used a standard inexpensive single hung double pane from Home Depot. We had a metal flashing made in a Flat U shape to cover from inside framing to outside framing and siliconed the wine out of it. We framed the openings to have plenty to attach to on all 4 sides. It was definitely challenging especially i stalling after the building was erected. Hope that helps. We also a few years later added a full wrap around porch so absolutely zero chance the windows will ever leak now. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼🤠

    Wonderful ingenuity! Wondering how you insulated it, dealt with the vapor barrier and dealt with condensation?

  • @McFallFarms
    @McFallFarms4 ай бұрын

    We did a 30lb felt paper vapor barrier on the backside of all the metal panels and then 2” of closed cell spray foam. We also installed an hvac system that is multistage with a dehumidifier feature where the unit runs longer at a low speed so it doesn’t fast cycle allowing it to remove moisture and reduce humidity.
