We're Molly and Dylan, a husband and wife team working on our 5-acre slice of paradise in sunny southern Alabama. Welcome to Woodbrew Homestead!
👫 Husband and wife team 🔨 Woodworking and Homestead Projects 🌲 Milling our own lumber 🏠 Building a home and life together
Come along with us as we dive headfirst into the world of modern homesteading, blending our love for hands-on DIY projects with the joys of living simply. We're all about finding creative ways to make our homestead thrive while embracing the beauty of self-reliance.
Join us as we share the ups and downs of our journey, from the highs of successful saw milling projects to the hilarious mishaps of being a husband and wife team tackling it all together.
So, whether we're breaking ground on our dream property or taking a breather to enjoy the fruits of our labor, we'd love to have you along for the ride.
There is an alternative to the "burn pile" that we implemented and would never look back. “Hügelkultur” (pronounced hyoo-gul-kulture) is a German word that means mound culture or hill culture. Essentially... you take all the waste wood that isn't millable and line it up in berms and bury. Plant on top of the berms and you end up with an amazing privacy screen. Anything we planted on top of these hugelkultur berms has grown twice as fast with half as much watering need as any other tree we have planted in our yard. You have the tractor and a lot of wood and limbs that aren't millable, and that's perfect.
I know the video is over a year old. But, please remember to raise the deck several feet off the ground before you engage the blades the first time... Growing up on a farm, you'll learn that small animals and pets like to get under the deck when it's not being used.
I have the same issue using a tape measure left handed. When the numbers are upside-down and backwards, it's easy to mark on the wrong side of the number.
About time someone thought outside the box, I did a similar job, I could see no benifit in making a small space smaller by framing out the inside, the chances of moving house is slim, but in Australia we can still move a wider container on a wide load permit.
With the way the sidewall flexes on that style trailer, you may want to place a minor taper at the end of the 2x4 (think french cleat) to draw in the sidewalls when under load...
You need to put the little doorway like you put on this end. On the other end, on both ends, because if you don't, they won't look the same on the end and it won't be ornamental. So if you do the same on the other end, it'll be on a mental
I thought they had a deal that you can lock them in place like a boat pin or something that goes on them artroom. Whatever I mean, there's way to lock those things where they don't roll
Did you know those lives? Have the place that you can plug extinction cord in, and you can run them on the stench cord and charge the batteries at the same time
You don't want to use blocks? Put screwjax under there, madam to the door and then you you just leave them on the door and when you get to your website, do it like you do your trade or the leveling jacks, you just use your impact and level them up and you don't ever have to remove. Because you can both them all the way through the door and they'll be there Forever. And then you can just use your impact. Raise 'Em up and Lev' Em to whatever height I need for the tailgate to be. I don't level for a deck
Just make sure you know what size they are. Then go to Harbor freight and buy that 1. Socket, get you a battery power impact that you can put in the trailer. And then that way, you can roll fix your tires but also, while you're at Harbor freight, get those screwjacks and I was telling you about any other comment. To Jack up the trailer and level it, and then make sure you got a socket that fit the screwjacks. If if it don't come with a socket on it, get somebody to weld one on it that way, you can just put an impact on it and roll it crank. Him up when there you go
Now all janitors 4 of the screwjacks that have the hex head crank on them tour. You can take and use an impact to Jack him. Up-and-down to level the trailer. When you go camping mounted to the floor the frame of the trailer that way you will have a way to level it when you get to where you're going and then when you. Jack jack' up. They automatically sit against the bottom of the trailer and don't come down because they're a screw. Jack kinda like a scissor screw Jack. They make it in all cars. Now which you know you gotta buy a heavy duty 14 the trailer
Hey, does that power station coming with solar panels that you and you hook into it? If it does, you can hook hooks, you know a heavier. Harder. Solar panel on top and keep the power station charged
If you can't find one big enough, you can take and so 2 of them together and then have them 2 zipper, 2 zippers on it. And then you just go out. One side are 2 of the magnet strips on in the middle. It will work, but if it's not wide enough, then you just add another section. Each one of those sections is only $10. It'll be only thirty dollars
I enjoyed watching you two when you were on Ambition Strikes the other day. I have since subscribed to your channel and watched three episodes today. Great work!
