I’d let it go, because he was taking on your chores along with his own regular responsibilities. And no one will ever do it the way you would. If everyone survived and he took care of all the major issues, that’s a win-win.
Look up bird spikes, you can mount them on ledges and it prevents the birds from landing and creating nests, Saves you from having to keep checking up on it as well :)
Every time I watched you climb up the garage door all I could think of is that someplace, somewhere an Occupational Safety Manual just burst into flames. 🙂
Treasure Trovel 2 days ago (edited) I would get a number of rubber snakes to put on all the ledges to scare the birds. You will have to move them around periodically to keep the birds spooked. There is also a gadget called a Rid a Rat that is a small strobe light that operates for about 6 months on 2 AA batteries. It has two strong magnets for mounting inside the hood of the car to deter rodents from nesting. The strobe light is small enough that I think it would just perturb the local area up at the top of the door (and would not spook the sheep). It would freak the birds out. I purchased the device on Amazon
I would be so grateful, thankful that my hubby was willing to help especially knowing he has a lot on his plate. I would give Mark huge hug for taking care of everything especially the 'milk flood'. We've been married 34 years; it's a 'give n take'. You already know this Sandi; you n Mark work so well together. Don't sweat the lil stuff.

Been married 50 years.....I always ask myself, “” Is this the mountain I want to die on?” It almost never is. Kinda puts things into perspective. Hang in there. There will be many other mountains, but it’s hard to remember them for long, because in the total picture, they’re only little hills.
Lol.. my hubby literally just did a load of towels for me and overloaded the washer. Ugg. I complained even though I know that I should have thanked him so much for helping me out. You have the same problem I do, we think about doing everything with excellence and most men think of just getting it done. 27 years you'd think I'd relax with the OCD . Geez
Gems on this vlog.... 1. "Put it on RU-vid and wait for him to find it." 🤣 2. The climbing wall. 😳 3. New vlog show "Crafting With Sandi: Sticky Tape" 🤔 4. And ✨Mark✨ for dealing with the milk flood even though other tasks didn't get done. Thank you for inviting us into your life, and being transparent about the good, the bad, and the ugly!
Feeber Izer ...so far there doesn’t seem to be any ugly...Come to my house and see ugly...confrontations between a narcissist and a co dependent.....He and I should be in the circus as flame throwers...LOL
Feeder Iser...Of course I think you are sooooo right...Nothing is uglier than losing someone so dear as your best friend or loved one....I didn’t mean to project anything so cruel about my miserable existence..A sudden death is worse then a slow emotional death in my mind...
You realize you could pick your best Lambs and travel with the Circus!!! 🤩🤩🤩What a show you have!!!! (Song plays ...here...)🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just tell the hubby “Thanks babe!” And let it ride. You’ll be happier that way. It’s easier than fighting over it. My rule of thumb is how much do I actually care about what he did wrong? Do I care that he folds towels wrong, YES! Do I say anything, NO! I can be right or I can be happy. I choose happy!
I have a work-around for the insulation on the milk lines. When we need long, temporary insulation we use pool noodles. They come in a wide range of thicknesses and length. They work great and are relatively cheap this time of year. Even during the summer they are still relatively cheap and a colorful option for decorating as well.
When I was married and had to go away from home I was just happy if, when I got back, there were no dead bodies. I had no expectations that anything would be done, so if it was done, and never correctly, I was pleasantly surprised. Just be happy he tried, and make him a nice dinner, if you have time. 😊 Life is to short to stay mad, and nobody died, so there's that.
HA !!!!! My only time of going away by myself, hubby went to the bar, got stupidly drunk (at least he didn't drive home) fell off the bar stool broke a rib or two. Then lied and told me he slipped off the truck at work and broke them. His best friend was joking with him the following week and let it slip in front of me about the bar stool incident. So Yeah.
Yes , Yes , Yes ,🤞🙏🤞 Thats me too 👀💭💯❣️... Good to 👀💭 im 🚫 alone n thought it out correctly 😆😂❣️... We got This , ✔️💯❣️... Good Way of Thinking friend 👏❤️👏❣️... ✴️💃✴️
You have to have grace with each other. It is a blessing Mark caught your milk and was able to stop a flood. We all do things differently. Together, you are perfect.😃
Right?! I wanted to watch something mindless--not morning after presidential debate garbage!--and this one popped up. Mark hadn't built Sandi's office yet. And since Mark was covering apparently Carissa wasn't working yet. But same old, same old. Sandi battling birds. Sandi ogling over her lambs. The milk machine flooded the barn.
The birds are nesting there because it’s covered and they deem it safe to raise babies Try setting up nesting boxes it should help, that way they’ll be less inclined to nest on your garage door, set them up the opposite side of the barn door as that way they won’t associate the chain with the nesting boxes Edit: grammer
Don’t add nesting boxes near the chain otherwise they’ll associate the chain with the nesting boxes and it only encourage them to keep nesting on the chain put them in a corner on the opposite side of the barn from the door
I think 2020 Sandi is right..just be glad everybody is still alive, be thankful you have a spouse who's willing to help, and drink your coffee and move on...passive aggressive youtube route is pretty funny though
His RU-vid was funny. The look in his face when he was narrating what you would prefer and what he was going to do. Sometimes we all live on the edge for a bit of fun.
Be happy that everyone is alive and well . And take a walk and talk to yourself and breathe am doing that same deal for the last 4 days but I know am still burning in side breath
Omg There is NO WAY I would climb that high up. I got sick just watching you. I was always told to pick my battles. As long as the work got done your good.
Pick your battles!!! I too struggle with not calling out my husband for doing stuff half assed or not the way I do it😂 We all know our own personal way is the right way, but its the same for other people too.
Being right all the time is not always right .... life is really simple, count your blessings and be thankful for the help you got, don't dwell on something you cannot change.
Sandi when I was first married and was having twins went into pre term labor and was on bed rest, I learned he was a child about his priorities. I had friends from church and they made food and brought it to me. I came after baseball. He was never going to change that part of priorities. He did amazing things after they were born, he helped feed them in the middle of the night, and got up and worked the next day. ( premise, had to be fed every 2 hours for like a month. I just had to learn to appreciate what he did do and let grace cover it 😁... 39 years later that still works, and he has had a lot to cope with. Last year I had a massive heart attack with no symptoms and 6 months later I slipped on tile in the bathroom and broke a leg. I had 5 pins and was in a wheelchair for 4 weeks after I came home... He did an ok job taking care of me. If it was perfect I would have taken a lot longer to be functional. ;)
I would just say thanks hun and leave it be ..I’m happy if everything is a live ..men and women just do things different so it is what it is .. he soaked up the milk I vote that is a win
I like to also put triple antibiotic between the toes along with injectable antibiotic for the sore feet. With the SO doing things not your way, I've learned to bite my tongue and just say thank you. I wouldn't want my husband to complain about how I do things. He has never criticized me for how I do his chores when he's gone, he's always been grateful. Took me a long time to be better about it with him, I am a control freak
I've been waiting for your Video the whole Day. Just sat down on the Sofa and saw the notification. Your Videos make my day better! Big thank you from Germany for your honest und "Down to Earth" Videos!
Sandi, Mark loves you whether you “work dads chickens,” drive the grain cart, or work with the sheep. He loves you, for you, not for what you do. And I’m sure wether Mark was a mechanic, truck driver, or grain farmer you would love him for who he is, not what he does or how he does it. If both of you did things the same way, one of you wouldn’t be needed!!! SO DONT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF..... And for heavens sake MAKE time to go out ......you both deserve it!!!👍🤠
My mother had her car parked in the garage and the birds would nest over her car. Imagine the daily mess creating daily car washing!! Someone suggested she get realistic plastic snakes. She had no more problems and amazingly the birds left. She placed the "snakes" in the rafters.
I am a go getter and I was once told that my effort of 100 percent might be different than another persons efforts. It helped me keep anxiety and stress off another person. Also, to take a deep breath and exhale a few times and enjoy life.
Omg Sandi, my anxiety level is through the roof right now… That is a long way down there so glad you didn’t fall I said a prayer for you and thanked God for wrapping his arms around you and keeping you safe
I would be so thankful for what was done and say nothing. No one is dead, as you say. Then, spend the day getting everything back to my liking. Good thing Mark loves you.
You had me holding my breath when you climbed up the door. I hope it was isolated and locked out. Please get a safety harness to clip onto the steelwork while you are working at that height.
@Martin van der Merwe Thank God. I’m pretty new to the vlog so watching older ones. I just said the same thing about a safety harness and thought I was being way to bossy. Was thinking of deleting it though I realize being a year old vlog Sandi probably would never see it. I will leave it seeing your comment. I hope Sandi read your comment. I was a manager at a mechanic shop with doors like that. If someone did that climb, they would have gotten written up, seriously chewed out, and have to go through safety training again. A second offense would have gotten them fired. I was serious about Safety Protocols as I didn’t want any of my guys hurt. They were my responsibility. Plus the company could have gotten big fines from OSHA. You never want OSHA to show up at your business after an employee has been injured in an accident.
Sandi: I have this silo bag tape, which is like the greatest tape ever. Also Sandi: This is not sticky at all! It's crap! We also had problems with birds, they would literally build anywhere that made it super inconvenient for us, like the tongue of the trailer! Like why!? So after destroying three nests we decided to just build them a house, they actually sat on the telephone lines and watched us build their house, the moment it was up and we stepped away they came to check it out and started gathering nesting material right away. Never had a problem with them since. Pretty smart animals, they pretty much MADE us build a house for them.
This is a brilliant idea, Like the old adage says ,' if you can't beat them, Give in and build them a house.' or something like that. With all those birds inside her barn she is going to need a bird Hotel to fit them all into.
@Free Speech why not help them? Why poison? Birds eat bugs that might otherwise become a problem, they have a purpose, even if it was not incuded in the barn plans. We will never manage to work WITH nature, if all we do is destroy and poison everything that is a little inconvenient to us.
Lol 🤣 You can always ask him if there's anything he didn't have time to finish while you were gone so you can catch up. Otherwise a thank you and occasionally a reward for him when you get back *can* encourage him to do a more thorough job next time.
She has past videos on choosing replacement ewes! I hope she records this next batch too though - I wonder how many of the black lambs she'll be keeping!
We have just started lambing of our hampshire sheep and I have learned so much from your videos that will surely help out with lambing and I just wanted to say thank you! There is something to learn about sheep farming in every single video and it has helped me out so much working with our sheep. Thanks again Sandi!
We have to use the mylar ribbon under our carport. We had a bird that kept nesting in the beams and leaving a huge mess on everything. Great, cheap fix.
Is everyone alive and fed? If so, count your blessings. Just remember, everyone does thing different and if everyone lives you should celebrate and bite your tongue. There are times you don’t follow his instructions perfectly either, so it’s a 2-way street. After 45 years of marriage I’m surprised my tongue still has an end. Why not put a hardware cloth cage around your garage door motor?
I was going say that too! If it is possible to box it in with hardware cloth and then spikes on the top to prevent nests as well. And personally I would be trapping the birds as well.
If it is all good girl... move on, he’s a man and men have their own way of doing things. My comment isn’t exactly “pc” but it is true. Love your channel... I’d be in those pens all day with your cute little lambies!!!❤️
I'm leaning toward picking your battles....and I would just appreciate that your partner takes over your job when you have to be away. We all do jobs differently......and no-no-no to passive-aggressive.f I find that worse than just outright saying what is on your mind...LOL Sorry....but I'm in the just appreciate-and-thank camp! As far as your bird and nesting problem with the garage door, could you hang something up there that moved...like a mobile or windchime....to discourage the birds, or, do you think they would get used to something moving and go back to their nesting? You and Mark are very inspiring with all your hard work and great attitude!
Sandi, I agree. It is better just to bite your tongue and thank him for taking care of things while you are gone. Surprise him and be a sweetheart instead of a complainer! You will be happier and so will be he. Peace is bliss.
Let it go, Let it go!!! As you said, he had the milk machine to deal with, LOL! I've been married 40 years and 12 of that I had a business and worked with my spouse too :)
Wow Sandi , you take care of the whole barn . You are very brave , you wouldn't catch me climbing up to fix the garage door chain . Good job , keep them videos coming . God bless.
The abscess on the hoof .. I think doc Pol always cleans/flushes it out with peroxide then puts some type of powder. (copper sulfate??) the wraps it up
Yea everyone is okay, Mark included... his health especially be thankful for the good in your life and save the hassles of life for those most important times. I remember someone giving me this advice when my daughter wanted to shave her legs and we fought about it. She said to me this is not important enough to fight over so I met her at the door after school with a razor and shaving cream and said have at it. We got along much better after that when I asked myself that question before reacting. You are going to have a great 2020......Do take the time to spend with Mark on a personal level you need date nights to keep things fresh.
I am obsessed with your videos!! I've never lived on a farm and I'm not sure I want to!! That's alot of work! I'm sure it's very rewarding. I have so much respect for what you do! I'd love to visit a sheep farm now! My sister has a sheep that thinks it's a dog!! She has 5 dogs and 8 horses, just 1 sheep!! LOL
Hi Sandi, try putting some rubber snakes around your door opener or were you don't want them to nest.. We did that at a elevator to try and keep those crap factories off the platforms. Seemed to help.
I get and have lived the farm life “get ur done” mentality, but you really need to invest in a harness, lanyard and anchor points if you are going to be trying to work that high. Same for Mark or kids in or on the grain bins.
Be cool and let it ride. Be thankful you can count on him.. Be assured in knowing that if something was really truly amiss he will deal with it. Give him a kiss and thank him.
I would do something else - I would thank him for the help and make sure he knows I'm grateful, and if its something important I would politely ask to do it other way next time. Every time I wanna say something like that to my husband I ask myself how I would feel if he confronted me that way and change it to be nicer :) He loves you as much as you love him and its not worth it to be petty :)
Attention sandy brock Tim from Ontario Canada have you ever thought about hanging up silver pie plates you get from the dollar store... if you. Hang these up close together and they smack against each other and the shininess might drive the birds away pie plates at the dollar store pretty cheap... or what works is if you have old CDs.. hang them up of fishing string this way the shiny side catch the sun and drive them a little crazy.. or hang fishing string around your area
I don't know how well I'd react to the passive/aggressive, let him see it on video approach. I would have left it unspoken unless he asked specifically and then I'd be gentle because boys get their feelings hurt. Nothing is ever the way we expect it would be. Breathe, and move on with the day.
