IT'S HERE! Goat Barn Shipping Container Delivered

all right it's big day the legendary goat Barn container is officially being delivered this morning now if you don't remember this is uh our oldest daughter adeli it's her project she's going to take the shipping container and turn it into a goat Barn a milking room kiding stalls a whole new fence feed storage uh it's a huge project that she's somehow convinced us to take on when we're building our house but before that container comes we need to share all the setbacks we encountered to get to this point today is an exciting day we were marking where the shipping container goes so we're working here with adelai uh trying to make sure we've got it in the right spot so we're going to start the shipping container right here uh there's also a huge Mound back there that could be a problem so we're going to try not to get too close to that what do you think I feel like this is a good starting point yep y so this is going to be the we'll call it the North West corner it's going to go this way and down that way so we got to set up a whole bunch of steering lines we're going to do concrete Piers got to measure for all that so let's get started we have to make sure that these peers are in the exact right spot so we're going to be creating a bunch of like crosshairs and we're going to screw these to these wrap the Stringer around connect it and then we're going to do one for each Pier this way and so that'll give us like basically a cross on the ground where we have to augur so that we make sure that the corners are exactly in the center of that [Music] [Music] Circle we're trying to measure corner to corner to make sure that we're square and there's a plant right in the way so we're going to have to dig it up [Music] first [Music] hey guess what uh that didn't work nope we got a call last minute that the truck driver could not in fact put our container on Pierce no so in all the research we did we kept seeing these trucks that would come in with like an arm and they would set the container into place turns out that's not how it works here uh they have to back straight in and drop the back and then pull out and it falls down onto whatever you've got supporting it I'm glad we didn't pour any concrete Piers cuz you can't back a truck up onto concrete Piers uh it's a big problem yeah thankfully um we made a call to will Cox Rock and Sand and they were able to come out and put 20 tons of ab mix down and compact it and level it for us and we are ready for delivery right and then and remember that was 9 in that we had to bring it up on the one side and they had a build a ramp so that they could actually back up onto it the whole thing anyway yes thank you guys for coming out on such short notice and now that we have this area prepped and ready to go we're ready for the container delivery well [Music] almost all right it's big day the legendary goat Barn container is officially being delivered this morning but this also includes a whole situation with another acre of property that we just bought yeah so that involves taking down some of our fence putting up more fence and uh a lot of other things and that has to be done today cuz once we break that fence line we don't get it refen by tonight then we're wide open to predators and we have dogs that could get out and run everywhere it's a whole situation uh and we have a bet gone okay what's the bet the bet is uh I don't think it's going to be done by the time you have to leave at 3:30 I think it will be so if it is done you get to take a day and go do whatever you want okay all day long and if I'm right and I have to work on the fence after you leave and I get to take a day and go do whatever I want okay I don't know how the kids win in this situation but that's the BET right now they get a day too sure okay guys um we are on a very tight time crunch so it's time to cut this fence line and get started all right this is our high tinel hot electric fence um like hot yoga no no just electri fed okay this is our hot fence why do I keep saying hot okay this is our electric fence and we have to take down this line and this line and basically we're moving it over an acre I'm a little bit sad to cut this this was our very first project that we did here on The Homestead it's amazing but you know we're expanding so that's a good thing um so we got to turn this off before we cut it we're going to cut it here and then we're going to like get it out of the tea post and kind of Cur it up past that post down there cuz at that post all the way down there it's going to go that way to the other so if you can come on this side and hold this fence line while I cut it so it doesn't hit me in the face perfect okay you ready yeah [Music] go [Music] the reason we're tying it up like this is because these get really hard to work with um and so we want to tie it up and keep it in a circle so that when we have to refence we can kind of almost like a tire like unroll it while we're pulling it um that'll keep everybody nice and safe usually you have a a fresh roll on what's called a spinning jinny and that makes it easier to pull out but since we're trying to reuse as much of this original fencing as possible uh it's going to be a little [Music] tricky [Music] all right it's the last wire um now that we have all the wires pulled out we can just go and pull P our Timeless toost right up out of the ground so that uh the truck will have a clear path to get to the pad on this other acre can I hand it to you or why don't you throw no they we can't break [Music] them [Music] all right our fence line is cut and our blocks are in place it's only a matter of time before that Container makes its way to our property oh [Music] so we should take a minute to mention USA containers so the ones we got this container from it's only about $4,000 uh shipped directly to our property which we think is a really great price yeah and while they aren't sponsoring this video contact Elise atusa containers and they might just give us a little tiny bonus yeah there's an affiliate link the description below okay you ready go to the next [Music] [Music] one [Music] the front of this builtup pad has kind of sunk down as the truck and the thing had to come back up on here so we're checking the level on the back for these blocks to make sure we build up the front blocks to the right level because otherwise once he sets it it's like there there's not much we can do I need you to raise that up [Music] watch out ready [Music] [Music] MO [Music] H hi vies oh hear that Echo oh that's crazy guys we did it I can't believe it we almost had some problems as always uh it wasn't quite level it's still not quite level but we can adjust it later I mean it's like this close we're going to fix it so we'll do that later like we said we're on a time crunch we have to get the fence closed back in yep so as much as we want to go play in the container um adel's going to take over from here and do the fencing all by herself and then we'll go eat sushi cool okay okay we had to take a quick lunch after that uh stressful container delivery we're all good everybody's cooled down a little bit I don't mean I mean we were just hot like sweaty not like mad at each other everything's fine so remember we have a bet going on we're not going to finish the fencing by the end of the day or we will and just want it to be known that that I'm out here Gathering fencing materials I'm not slacking off to try to to try to you know make it take longer I'm out here doing my part so let's go to the garage let's get all of the fency materials we can [Music] find [Music] so first step we need to put in our TST all the way down to the new post that we put in uh we have tsts that we haven't used yet but we do have the ones we pulled up when we took away this fence line so we're going to use those first measure out I'm going to drill hammer them in so that when we start run our lines we just run them straight through so we used up our existing toost we have to go to our supply pile and get um some toost we never used before that but that does mean we're going to have to measure and drill additional holes to fit our nin string configuration so going grab a grill cart go pick them up go make the holes and [Music] keep gotta prep the post so we're looking at existing post making sure that we know which holes we need to pull the string through because there's a lot of holes and then we're going to have to drill three holes at the bottom of every [Music] [Music] TST 5 - 15 50 and then 35 right at the cow patty what's 35 - 15 fast math 20 20 - 15 is 5 we're right you did it 8 six 5 that worked out pretty good I'm okay with that so what we want to do need a level so the idea is we put a level on it right and then that way when we we're looking for the hole it's like where it's supposed to be it's great all right AA drill it at least the ground is soft and it rained a few days ago [Music] he [Music] [Applause] [Music] hands are starting to get [Music] out all right now this is the last TST to put in bab but we have a tree here and I've already cut off some big limbs so the question is um if I put it here that's like the closest but if I put it here it will push it away from the tree a little bit more which I think we might want I feel like we need to have it away from the tree as much as possible I don't know what I'm doing so we put in the vertical Post in the angle BRAC uh a while ago waiting for this and now before we pull these lines and put 10 on them so that they're pulling against each other we want to add an additional brace to this angle so the idea is that you want to create a triangle so we already have the first part of the triangle so we're going to make the second the second part the last part of the triangle a triangle has three part we've have the first two parts of the triangle we have the first two bab we're we're putting the third angle okay here's what you do you take a piece of wire about that long this long roughly this long find the middle of it all right so the middle of it's right about there that's about a 6t yeah so 12T total and then we're going to go around this vertical post so you want to get as low as you can on the post and then secure it in place with a u nail then we're going to bring it up and around and we're going to you nail it again right here right where the two wires cross all right you got that one nope let me get over on this got to watch out for this High ensil stuff it's got a lot of tinsil we're going to wrap this extra around this this wire here yep just twist it real tight and we'll cut the excess off so we don't have to mess with it too much okay now we're going to take anything like a piece of rebar and we're going to start twisting this we're just going to twist twist twist and create the tension that we want to make the rest of that triangle there you go also this wire comes uh kind of doubled up so once you cut it you have to untwist it and then that way you actually get two pieces out of a single [Applause] cut [Applause] [Music] would be a little bit better if we had a little ATD that could fit six people and a Truck like a like a bed of a truck uh-huh that would be [Applause] nice all right we're trying something different with this fence instead of doing insulators on either side because this is going to be electrified we got the insulator tube so we can just pull this wire this is an existing wire that we took down so we're going to use it as much as we can we'll just gripple the next wire to [Music] it [Music] all right it's time to go get the spinning [Music] jenny that's not the spinning J that's just the [Music] white so where is the ATV that would be so handy so tired of walking back and forth okay I need a hammer no Hammer's not going to work I'll be back bye all right next step is to get this wire from the spinning jinny we're going to thread it through this toost and all down those toost we need to take those insulators to the corner and we're going to meet up at our first line [Music] ouch it's like there's spiky plants in the desert huh and I'm wearing shorts that's weird kind of feel like it's my fault might be [Music] nice very [Music] satis I have good news and I have bad news good news is I won the BET bad news is I won the BET and Ashley and Natalie are gone with goat to the vet and it's only three of us left to finish this fence the dogs really want to come outside and Cloud's been locked up all day and the Sun is going down we don't have a lot of time and it's 4:15 and it gets [Music] [Applause] [Music] dark okay uh we got five at out of nine lines run we're trying to space them evenly so that we can leave a few off for the night cuz we're just we're not going to get to it um so I think we're going to do one more down lower hopefully that'll keep everybody good for tonight and we'll finish the rest let's do [Music] it we're back out this morning running those last three lines on the tensil fence remember nine strands all be electrified we've run most of the lines already so we're going to show you a couple of cool uh ways that we're changing our install this time there's a few products we ran across that are making this a lot simpler for us so we'll show you those here in a minute also yes there's a lot of noise in the background today we mentioned on a live a few weeks ago that they're running fiber Internet to our property um and so they've already run it on the roads and so today they're actually running the conduit from The Junction point to a spawn on our property so lots of big machinery lots of things going on let's get this done now that wire is run we need to go ahead and put tension on all these wires so we'll show you what that looks like we have a gripple here slides into that your extra wire goes here and it's just going to pull that as tight as you need it we're not going to go all the way tight yet we want to get a look at everything and also we need people at all the places with the black insulator tubing to hold them in place as i tension it so close one thing we're really excited about that we found other than the corner insulators is so this is how we used to have to con connect a gripple you know you pull the wire through and then you have these extra bits and then we would have to literally find a way somehow to hold this here and twist it around and it was such a huge pain especially as you got down to these there was nothing you could get a tool around come here let me show so now we found these crimping sleeves these fit on this gauge wire perfectly you use a tool and you just basically crimp it down and that keeps it nice and clean uh and it's way way simpler okay how long would this have taken us to wrap it the old way so long for this for these nine strands right here so long we're going to time it ready set [Music] go 9 minutes probably would have taken us what probably 10 minutes per ins line if we were doing it the other way yeah um also can I show you this really cool trick we did this is our first um way that we attached you know like when you have a hot fence it can't touch the wood post so you have to have something keeping it off and this was our solution the first round but this is what I found looks and works better we actually bought some of this insulating tubing to go around corner post instead of breaking the line and putting insulators in this works really well we just uniled it to the post so that the wire is off of the wood post and it looks a lot cleaner just a lot [Music] easier so an interesting part about this fence change is that we're actually we have to leave this line right here this line runs where the old fence line used to be all the way back to the road and but the animal Paddock is connected to it so if we if we start cutting this here that means we lose the back of our animal Paddock which we're not ready to do yet eventually once we build the new goat Paddock over here at the shipping container we'll be able to take all that down U that'll be a big project and it'll be nice to kind of open all that area up but that does mean our fence charger so we have this little fence charger here hooks up to a 12volt battery and it connects to we do opposite positive negative positive negative all the way down we jump them together that means this whole situation has got to move because it's going to an empty fence line now everything else is connected and this is not um so the last thing we have to do is we got to move this box down to that corner where asley is if you can see her I am making our fence hot so we have to we have a ground wire and a live wire so it's every other one is hot so I'm connecting them to where when we move our power source over here and hook that up everything is just going to work at least that's a plan got all the positive jumpered and all the negatives jumpered isn't it ground and positive or is it negative it's negative okay I have all the negative and all the positive this is It's a DC system so it's not grounded ACDC oh hey yeah I know it's the joke everybody makes anyway I'm hooking things up yeah you are want to hook up want to hook up with [Music] me [Music] all right this is the exciting time where we're going to turn on the fence and see what it reads do should we show them the connection real quick we did so before when we had it set up on the other side we actually had these wires that go from our solar panel and stuff to all the way up here which I thought that's kind of crazy why did we I don't know why we that much wire there but we just made the connection down here so it's a lot closer and a lot cleaner so it just goes to one positive and one negative yeah but a lot of wrapping around and then here you made your jumpers yeah all the jumpers over there out of the way so this area just looks a lot cleaner I like it let's just turn it on and figure it out all right you're going to hear clicking here in a minute so can you hear it it's clicking it's working that's what Moses always said okay so you know hot so let's look at it you see it 5,000 volts that is hotter than it's ever been usually it's around 4.7 or 4.6 we did not add any fencing we just moved the fencing so the final thing that we really changed and we've talked about this a little bit but I'm just going to explain this real fast on all our old fences because this High tensil Line was running here and we didn't want to touch the wood we had these insulators and we'll show a picture of them here but they were these weird little like chunks of plastic right and they had different holes in them and so you would bring your line in you would wrap it tight and then you would make take a little piece you would wrap it on the other side of it and then you would go around your post and then you would do it again you put it wrap it into the plastic and then another one and then You' have to take your piece of electrical water and go from here all the way to here so that that your electrical would go through without actually touching the wood post but look how simple this is it's just a tube and it just sets right on the wood remember the def fence is hot okay just so now the fence is hot but I'm not touching the negative so I'm okay uh yeah that's all it is like look how simple that is yeah and one thing I like about this it's not just a piece of rubber it actually has a piece of aluminum inside careful touch you about the touch so it holds its shape it's not going to smash and like fall apart there right and and the metal doesn't touch this metal there's like a piece of plastic in between it so it's like a little sleeve of metal but it's fully encased in plastic um we went ahead and sprung for the one with the metal backing because we figured that would be and they're UV treated so they should last a long time um the only thing we're not sure we might need to put like a unil here just to keep it from I it' be pretty hard to slide it up and down with all this tension but I you know if I cow were to jump through or something he can mess it up so but overall like the fact that we were able to hook up everything this quickly have that few electrical connections to make and that few um wraps like we didn't have to wrap anything and the wrapping was the worst part of the old fence project I really like this a lot it looks really nice I really like it uh the only thing is the one thing I would do different is make sure I cut these all the exact same length so that it looks like a cleaner install but you know next time all right well I'm going to get the lid for this can we be done clean done okay with our fence line secured and the electricity back on our Homestead perimeter is finally safe again yep we just want to take a minute and say thank you to every single one of you who have supported adeli's project it means so much to our family we're just blown away by your generosity and so we want to let you know that we are going to wind down the donation part of this while we continue to build out you have until Sunday February 18th and then we're going to close all that down and start producing all the goodies and get ready to move on to the next step the next step is my dad is on his way all the way from Indiana he's going to come and help us Weld and do all the metal work on the container special guest and that means I mean when your dad is here we get stuff done oh yeah so there's no messing around yeah so we'll see you next [Music] time [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] yeah
