Live Edge Lumber With Woodland Mills HM26
It's go time!! Let's fire up the Woodland Mill and get these Logs processed! I have 8 left and I'm finally going to be able to reclaim my hay equipments parking spot in the covered lean-to. Some of these slabs are absolutely gorgeous and will make some awesome benches and tables.. #modernhomestead #homestead #homesteading #sawmill #woodlandmills #milling #liveedge #lumber
New Brush-Hog Blades are Amazing
The new brush hog lades work great! I will be keeping the old one and try and work on them over the winter, they were relatively inexpensive, it's nice to have a spare. #modernhomestead #homestead #homesteading #diy #kubota #brush #brushhog
I find the best way to clear large over grown weeds is with a brush cutting blade. It actually reduces that amount of stuff that will go flying at you significantly. I can even trim grass with it, it's great for going along the pasture fence lines #modernhomestead #homesteading #homestead #trimmer #brush #clearing #redmax
Best Pool Upgrade I have ever done
I was struggling to keep our little fast set pool clear and I kept buying packs of ridiculously over priced paper filters so I decided to get a small all in one Sand Filter, this thing is a 1/3 Hp and holds 18kgs of sand. I am extremely happy with it, the backwash and rinse works great the pool flows so much better now and it's so much easier to keep clean #modernhomestead #homestead #pool #summer #swimming #diy #cleanwater
Hatching Interesting Chicken Mix
Here are some of the chicks we hatched out recently, most of these are mixes, the black one is a mix of Appenzeller and Ayam Cemani. Can wait to see what they look like when they are bigger #modernhomestead #homesteading #chicken #chicks #hatchingeggs
Vevor Weather Station Works Great
We recently received a nice weather station from @Vevor_US so far I'm pretty impressed with it. It's pretty accurate and the kids love checking how much rain has fallen. Super easy to setup and use. #modernhomestead #homestead #weather #vevor #storm #homestead
I wanted another set of Govee Lights for my garage but I wasn't paying the extra for the black pro set. A can of spray paint and 3/4 stickers later and we have a black set of light that blends into the soffit perfectly #modernhomestead #homestead #outdoorlights #paint #govee #lights
I bought new blades for my Land Pride brush hog, the blade bolts had never been taken off and they were a real pain to loosen, a little but of heat and cold and they broke free with the help of the air impact. Cuts like new now! #modernhomestead #homesteading #kubota #blades #brushhog #diy #howto
Well I think I know what i want to do but I'd love to hear your opinions, I would be painting it Flat Black to match the roof of the house #modernhomestead #roof #painting #doityourself #suggestions
A predator struck very early this morning, the dogs were in the garage, Go figure. It got more chickens then I thought, I ended up finding 3 of them laying around different feilds, but the rest are completely gone. I think the days of letting them free range is over for now. #modernhomestead #homestead #chickens #predator #countrylife #homesteading
I'm finally getting through that pile of Ash logs I have, it's a harder wood to cut and I've got about 10hours on the machine and I've changed the blade just recently, so far I've been milling 2" thick live edge slabs just to get through it quickly, next I'll make 2" Boards then 1" boards #modernhomestead #homesteading #sawmill #liveedge #slabs
Hatching Chickens and Guineas has become almost like an addictions, I love seeing what the mixes will look like. I want to get more pure breeds so I can experiment mixing them, I really want a Guicken lol #modernhomestead #chickens #hatchingeggs #guinea #hens #homestead
I love my Guinea Hens! We hatched some out and they have interesting features from our existing Guineas. We have full White one, half white and grey and all grey. I normally have a hard time hatching these but this batch was easier then usual. #modernhomestead #homestead #hatchingeggs #guinea
I need to process these Ash logs I have sitting in my lean-to, I need the space for my hay making equipment. I love using this Woodland mill HM126 but I can't wait to be milling something other then Ash. Some Cedar or Pine would be a nice change. #modernhomestead #milling #sawmill #lumber #homesteading #diy #liveedge #slabs
Well I got the Baler working, managed to make a few bales with it but I needed to add bearing caps to the feeders first. Was a fairly simple fix, I love how everything seems to be straightforward, I love mechanical stuff, you can see what's wrong and fix it. #modernhomestead #diy #newholland #baler #hay
Well here is a pool heater update, it sunny enough today to let it run and show you how much heat it makes. The key is to slow the water and absorb as much heat as possible. Sorry about the audio not sure why it's got static. #modernhomestead #poolheater #diy #itworks #pool
Replying to @seacheckmate I still have it and we still use it, it's been a great addition to the Homestead, the water heater still works great. It's great for anything from the kids to the dogs #modernhomestead #homestead #outdoorshower #outdoors #shower #showertok
I Re installed the sink in the garage for the summer months, this thing is really convenient, did not realize how much I would utilize it. Wife and kids approved #modernhomestead #diy #garage #homestead #repurpose #kitchensink

Well that's a wrap! We grew 39 Cornish Cross Chickens this year, we are very happy with the size, they average around 5lbs dressed. The freezers are full! We haven't bought store bought chicken in over a year and looks like it we will have another year's supply. #modernhomestead #homestead #growfood #meatchickens #chickens #homegrown
