We have bought a 100-year-old farm that have not been farmed the last 50 years. Our goal is to bring this farm back to life to make a safe self-sufficient paradise for our children to grow up. We are going to raise animals like chickens, cheeps, pigs, dairy cows and much more. Norwegian Farm Life is a channel for the whole family with loads of farm idyl. Our farm is located on the western side of Norway.
Utrolig! What an exciting project to restore such an amazing old barn. I LOVE those thick stone walls. It will be beautiful and functional when you've finished it.
if you feed corn and other food to your chicken they are not organic any more, you should let them out to eat natural food, they see your eggs yok is red instead of being yellow
Hva med å prøve å bli helt self sustained med mat og elektrisitet? dette må jo spare mye penger for dere. Det er ihvertfall drømmen min :) Må man ha mye pappir osv bare for a å noen sauer? Takk for god kanal og mye innsikt
I must say the scenery looks great, but am sure on the west coast you will experience some wild weather from the North sea, So I would be changing those timber wall for stone walls as you get much better insulation in the cold winters and a great deal less attention than wood for many years to come and even generations. I had a wooden house in N. Zealand when I lived there and put forward plans to build a new stone house which was duly past, but things went a rye so it never got done.
Hi. I've seen this method of grass drying before in other countries, which is successful. Only you can do much better. I have watched several of your videos now and know you want to spend very little money and yet reape the maximum reward. Don't we all? Well, my friend, here are some tips for you with little outlay and maximum rewards. Some tried and tested. First, make the Hesjing smaller in length. Cut your one in half, giving you two devices. With a little added alteration and money spent, you could achieve 100% results instead of 80% or lower. Build them just long enough so that you are able to move them on your own laiden with wet grass from field to field if necessary. Thats right, movable Hesjings. You need direct sunlight as well as humidity for best drying results. Secondly, add a set of wheels to one end. In this instance, size really does matter. The wheels need to stand around 20cm tall. The bigger the better just as long as you can move the Hesjing around in the grass and over uneven ground. If you buy new wheels, then make sure they stand at least 20cm high or as close as possible. Beggars can't be choosers, as we say in the UK. Especially if they are free! If it were me making the Hesjing, i would go to a recycling centre. See if anyone has thrown away a babies pram, then you can use those wheels. You would just need to devise a way of exteding the axles. That is the easy part. Cut the axle in half then using U shape wire nails, staple the axle to a length of wood, then sttach said wood to the Hesjing and away you go. That's what we did as children to make a wooden go-cart. Watch videos on RU-vid how to make them. Whatever method you choose, having mobile Hesjings is the answer. A). You can place them easily out of the shadows and into direct sunlight. B). Being able to manoeuvre them will ensble you to cut all the grass, leaving nothing behind. C). If done correctly you could achieve 3 cuts a season as i do. With your present set up, you have to cut around the Hesjing, losing a lot of grass. I guess a minimum of two days' worth of hay if you make two cuts a season. During winter, that means two days of real food, not factory, for your sheep. That reminds me. Here comes s quick English lesson. We say sheep not sheeps. One sheep, five sheep, or one hundred sheep. It is just sheep not sheeps. My last tip concerns waste. You waste a lot of grass. Watching yu cut the grass you leave a lot not cut after raking. Try to cut in a straight line. Use the tip of your cuting blade as a guide to follow your previous line. I have some advice on your little tractor but thats for another time, another video. Great content, i will see you again soon. As a new subscriber to your channel i am still catching up.😁🍻🏴⚒️
I think trying to not get into debt is admirable, but you need some help with your backhoe bucket. Find a local welding/ fabrication shop and explain what you have going on. Bring them the bucket and have the repair made professionally. If you want to try again yourself, Buy some 6013 x 1/8 inch rod and some 7018 x 1/8 rod. Clean the joint well find sone 7/16 plate or 1/2 inch plate to span your large gaps the thin flat bar your using is way too thin and small it will not last long. Remember what you are doing with the machine it needs strong thick steel components. Turn the heat up to between 90 and 110 amps and weld the root pass or/ the first passes with the 6013 it may take 4 or more passes to get a good connection on each side of the bucket. Then cover the 6013 with multiple passes of the 7018 rod at least 4 passes. Weld slowly, you are moving way way to fast. Push the rod deep into the puddle. Chip away the slag/ flux completely between passes. Having this done professionally will pay big dividends in the future. I also expect the ears that the pins pass through that connect the bucket to the dipper arm are in a very worn-out condition another reason for a weld shop to look this over for you. I hope you have great success with the farm and channel. JeffinMaine.
You could try building hay cocks, or a dying fence. These allows you to put hay up in the air and it dries much faster. if put up right it can even shed water and handle some rain without losing too much food value.
Thanks for your concern but all the rocks in this wall is loose. This entire foundation is a dry stacked stone wall. What you see on half the building is not mortar it is just render and it is only applied to half the building to keep the room they had cows warm. 😊
What a great journey you are undertaking with your family very envious. Awesom to see your family pitching in on all the hardwork..great channel ❤ from Boston USA
when I saw the tractor starting to tip towards your right I thought my gosh, that was close, totally understand why you stopped collecting the stones. will be so much better for you once completed
so pleasing to hear your back ground story, it gives us watches such an insight of the person you are, an understanding of your actions and beliefs. I wish more people will comment and help grow your channel
its all trial and error, but I guest you where dependent on very small seasonal window when you started. Pleased you transferred your content into English 👍
great viedo, great work on that barn, just pls stop adding those sounds of birds in the background, it just doesnt sound right...its late summer/early autumn.. birds dont do that at this time....
Be very very careful welding on the wheel of an inflated tire the heat from the welding can cause catastrophic failure of the tire do to sudden extreme over inflation the tire can explode in your face. Not to mention melt your inner tube if I had to weld i would delate the tire and weld sparingly keeping a garden hose close by to cool the weld every few seconds. JeffinMaine
You are doing an excellent job on capping the barn wall, looks like it is turning out quite well. If you have a farm, there is never a problem keeping busy, just takes time and patience. I wish the best for you and family, will keep your daughter in my prayers, thank you for the update, enjoyed watching, stay dry.
Dear family I can only say that your community is extremely strong. Is it the country with the extreme weather conditions? I don't know because I don't live there. I am from northern Germany. I too have had ups and downs in my life, but the fact that you show us the RU-vid community what happens to you with all the bad luck and mishaps makes your video unique and great.
Good job on the tire, I assume the Cylinder ram seals are bad in your front-end loader go to a Tractor dealership nearest you or a hydraulic repair shop and confirm that first. Then it is a matter of ordering a replacement cylinder sealing kit. I am sure they will be able to help you with finding the correct kit. JeffinMaine
