We are Turning this into a Pig Shelter, Hopefully we can pick it up with the Tractor. 

Man can do a lot with a few C clamps and the right attitude 👍🏻

Don't worry about making us feel safer or happy, if you're comfortable with your idea, roll with it. Those pallet fork extensions are clever thinking, what I call farmer ingenuity! Well done, Evan!

My Grandmother always said “Where there is a will there is a way - just stop and think”. You are a great example that it is true.

I really LOVE your videos & You as a FARMER.!! I like how you Think your projects through and you are reusing a lot of what you have on the farm what does running to town and buying a Lotta new stuff. My father was the way you are in many ways but I just like watching how you work and this was a wonderful video of taking something you already have and turning it in to another very Purposeful Shelter for a different type of animal and it turned out wonderful. I also like that you measure your stuff not once but twice and you build your stuff correctly and not sloppily!!!!! I don’t mean to try to embarrass you with My comments but I am sincere about it. I have seen a lot of men work and they just want to hurry and get the job done quickly and they don’t take pride in your work or integrity about their work. My father always said “if a job is worth doing, Then it is worth doing right!!” And that seems to be the way you work. You also are constantly thinking through your projects and doing everything you can to make what you’re doing right, and by that statement I am referring to you added your extra links onto the prongs and then you observed how it looked and decided that you needed a little more links instability both so you provided that as well I need a student hurry and you didn’t just hurry in to what you were trying to do, Causing more problems for yourself. Anyway that’s enough flattery LOL I am anxious for the Little pigs to be Added to your farm. And to see what type you get. Everybody has their favorite breed. Thank you so much for taking us along on your videos and sharing with us!! God bless and have a wonderful day

...i'm sure the hogs will be happy in the new condo...lol..keep safe..

I've gotten my cornish cross from Cackle Hatchery for years, never disappointed.

Evan, you are a Jack of all Trades. That was a fantastic idea to make a chicken coop into a hog coop. You saved time, work and money by using what you have. The piggies will enjoy their new hoop. The lift extension was a brilliant idea in moving the coop. Rebekah you have a best friend. He knows when you are near and he is going to get a treat. The both of you are fantastic homesteaders and I love watching what’s going on on the homestead. I be waiting for the next video to see what’s happening next. A repurpose job well done. Thanks for sharing. God bless you both and bye for now.

Looks good! I'd probably drive some tpost on the corners to keep the pigs from pushing the structure off the blocks

Loved the "Hammer Drill"

T-posts on the corners screwed into the 4x4 posts and maybe a 2x4 or bigger across the front of the pen to help support the two front corner posts together. By the time you get this you’ll be setting down over supper ( dinner) which ever one you call it a light bulb will go off saying this same thing but maybe that’s why we’re here to think for you sometime.

JudithB Great recycling project! A little paint and never know its salvaged!!

Well that worked out perfectly! Love watching!

That's a lot better then alot of other pig shelter I have seen. Rebecca loves playing with the animals great job guys.. Great video

Thank you

Hog shelter looks great. Might not hurt to stack it down, be terrible if a big wind flipped it. Also would be good to coat the siding with water sealer. Make it last much longer!

What great savings using a former chicken coop. Saved money and labor time on a rebuild. They should be quite happy in their new home. Evan, I am afraid your brown steer is going to be a permanent fixture on Country View Acres. I doubt Rebecca is going to let him go to freezer camp. LOL. I don't blame her though. That has to be the tamest steer on the planet. Y'all have a Blessed day.

You have made a great farmer good luck with pigs!!

Amazing work

Did you forget about the hay in the hayfields? You are busy folks. Greatest show on RU-vid.

Whenever I have a load longer than my forks can handle I use ratchet straps to hold the long end tight to the beefy part of the fork frame.

Very nice work!!! 🔨

For future projects use your concrete mixer and form with lumber and make 6 to 8 foot concrete post to with no.3 rebar for reinforcement they would make great post for small permanent shelters and sheds.

Your animals hit the lottery when they met your wife. Also that was a pretty expensive hammer you had putting up the siding. Another great video. Thanks!

Good job Bro!

I am always impressed at how clean your tractor is. I wish had the time for that. I got the grapple you have. It is my go to attachment 😀

awesome idea

I would still love to see the back side of your barn where you began working on it last fall. Maybe tell us your new plans. Is it possible that some of that wood is from what you removed from the barn? In that case awesome.🧡🧡🧡🧡

One acre to roam, wow!

Thanks for the video . love the new chicks .

You guys do an excellent job of repurposing used material. The pigs will love it. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

Looking forward to seeing the pigs.

Fella, I have to give you your props. You have a VERY creative mind. I have watched you do various things in your videos and many things that I would never have thought of that truly worked out well! Great video!

Those pigs are so lucky to have a nice big shelter. Chickens are so cute.

I gave up on cross head/Phillips screws a long time ago and switched to Torx/ star type. No stripping out the screw head or grinding of the cheap made drive bits. Front end loaders have so many uses.

Wow, for hardware cloth that cutoff wheel really cut through it quickly.

One of the most bestest things about working a farm/homestead, is using what you have..👍👍💚🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥

Nice work Evan Rebecca have a great day.

That barn is a great thing for the animals and I'm sure the steers will enjoy that shelter for the winter.

They are so cute.God Bless,the best.

Silva Bros tshirt!

Well done, Grasshopper. Nice job. Fireball is really fond of Rebekah.

Well that worked out just fine. Everything is coming together.

Thank you very nice love your videos

100k coming soon Evan! GREAT JOB!!!!

You’ll Never cease to amaze me!

You got this buddy 😳😂

Suggestion: Think you should stack the four corners as the pigs are strong enough to push the shelter off the leveling blocks!!!

Love to watch you come up with good plans and work them out !

Good evening, great job. Steve from N.B Canada

Dawn liquid soap with water in a sprayer will kill them (wasp) go heavy on the dawn

Good watch. Like your inside rub boards idea.

Great Job Evan on repurposing that for the pigs 🤙

Sweet video thanks 😊

Nice work. Great editing

Your farm your job do it your way. Nothing to loose if you are slow in the going.

Evan that's what we call jury rigging. We all got to do to save money. I liked your fork extensions 🤔 that's using head!

Good job!

You like your drill hammer? I love mine. It’s very handy at times like we saw!!!!

For a moment there I thought "what could possibly go wrong". But I should have known you'd have it under control. Well done, and great re-purposing.

About to hit 100k subscribers! Awesome!!!

Only thing huh oh i have to say Don't ever get under that loader. If the right hose/seal or the pump fails, that thing will drop like a rock. I knew you'd have a solution for those forks!! I've done that myself. Extensions aren't that hard to work up and the tubing works way better than the channel type. Just have to be a little extra careful since you can't lock the tubing to the forks. Great job as always Evan!!

Evan, you da man, bring on the pigs! Great videos and job!👍

Your doing a great job watching every video you put out but be careful feed cows walnut branches they are toxic to them I didn’t know tell i started working with trees and same with cherry trees

Use to work at a mill, they just had the shop take some C- channel and build a couple long fork extensions that just had a chain keepers to hold them on the fork lift. Used em for years.

WELL DONE!!

Very nicly done

Really nice job

Oh my goodness, those pallet fork extensions were such a simple yet unsafe solution to your problem! 😂 Those kinds of solutions come from years of experience with a "run what ya brung" mentality because the store is an hour trip away and, if you're like me, you don't usually have the time or money to spare. 🤣😂

really enjoy watching your farm projects

Good job dude fun video Evan 👍🏻

Like the chickens ans great pig shelter

Great video!👍🏻👍🏻

Great video! Thanks for sharing! 👍

Quite worrying about what all the "couch experts" think. I they did a full time job and then came home to work the homestead they would probably have a heart attack. ❤ You and Rebekah just keep being you. Homestead engineering!!!! How's that go....git er done!!!

Grate job guys love it look like it will be good for your pigs he ha love it from steve c from state Oregon

Nice job 👍🏻 keep it up love your video

Hey Evan my husband was just sitting here b 4 you started taking the chicken coup apart saying to just to use a cutting wheel...then you said that...now he's saying use a 2x 6 on the top of the forks and c clamp.it...and put a board across the forks to lift....well you just did it with metal ! Lololol...OMGoodness....and now the board ! you're both on the same page in your endeavors needing solutions for issues! Lololol....wish he were there to help you and share in thevfun...I'd be petting the steers and goats with Rebekah ! And you're gonna get pigs too ! What a great idea for a pig house ! 🏠 🐽...good idea and great planning 👍 ! This was fun watching ! God bless you and Rebekah and all your critters ! I'm proud of you guys ! Love the finished "hog hooch " ...piggies will love it ! Just a thought...do you think it would secure the hooch if you staked the 4 corners cuz I'm wondering as they move around and getting bigger they may move it around ...that may weaken the structure too. Just a thought. 😊

Great job as always, really enjoy watching all of your videos.Wish you could put out a video a day.💯👍👏❤️🙏

Totally addictive videos

Between your channel and “Hometown Acres “ the race race is on to 100k

I would put a steel post at all 4 corners so when the pigs get bigger it will help keep it on the blocks

Thanks for the extra C clamps!

I like that "hammer" drill.😁

A friend of mine said that he has used old camper shell off pickup trucks for hog shelters he live just north of Jay, Oklahoma and he raises registered Tamworth hogs for meat and breeding sales

If you was in the Dallas area you wouldn't worry about heat lamps. Our high Tuesday the19'th was 108.Today the 20'th is going to be 109.

Love the term Hog Hutch!!!

Great job! God bless❤

After using G clamps to hold the extensions onto the forks, you could have wrapped some wire round the other end. But I'm not complaining, great job, and looking forward to you getting the piggies.

Looks great, you need to get Rebecca a wee highland cow for a pet.

Hi.... Evan and Rebecca nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐩🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐝🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

Looks great Evan and Rebecca , bring on the bacon to be. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

You should paint your big Barn roof lowes has aluminum barn paint you put on with a roller should only take 2 hrs. You will add years to the barn

Great video , good job on the conversion of the old chicken run turned out real nice!,! Really enjoyed the video well done

thx

Drive some t pole by the front leg and tie to them and maybe some angle bracket from leg to the roof in front so they don't spreader the legs out great job recycling

Nice videos

That's the homestead way to deal with problems

Hello from the Netherlands and thanks for the video . Sincerely Hollandduck

Evan, I have to admit you had a great idea for the extensions to move that pen and it worked very well and now you have a shelter for the pigs. The old Marine adage of "adapt and overcome" fits you well, as you always come up with a plan that works.
