Welcome to the Homesteadonomics Community here on locals. This is where you can get a closer look at the things I do, the projects I work on and what my family and I do to live a more self reliant life here in the Southern Arizona desert. From preparedness topics and odd projects to learning skills and living a better life, this is where it'll be!
Early access to video projects, exclusive things that won't be on my social channels, livestreams, Q & A vids, project tips and advice and more!

Well its a new year and we've been blessed with 4 new baby goats! Belle, our Mini-Nubian momma goat went into labor on New Years eve and after about an hour of birthing, she had 2 girls and 2 boys. All were healthy, but one is a bit of a runt and was a little delayed in his ability to nurse. But so far so good and he's doing well now.
Names are as follows:
Fredlind (boy) - Brown w/ White blaze on belly and head (largest of group)
Nert (boy) - brown and the smallest of the group
Fawn (girl) - tan with white ears
Ember (girl) - moonspots (like her daddy Wyldfire)
Hope you enjoy the video and if you live in the southern Arizona area and are interested in a mini-nubian goat.... send a message :)

(early release) Our Mini-Nubian momma, Belle, is expecting babies any day now! In the video I'll show an insulated nursery and birthing area in the barn that I made out of a the old "Rain Roof" project.... and at the end, I'll show some clips of how the babies came to be ;)
Just a quick little build of an automotive style creeper with large casters so that I can use it in the dirt as well!
NOTE: I know its been a while since I've posted anything here.... so please let me know if you have any questions answered on video or thoughts for future video projects.

Hi Joe, nice format. A couple questions: 1) you showed a "critter guard" on you overflow line on your culvert tank, where did you find it?, and 2) could show how you cut the birdsmouth rafters on the pump house.

Last night we had our first official monsoon rainfall! We were able to get about 400 gallons, which I don't thinks too bad considering it wasn't sustained rainfall. It's a great feeling seeing the project come together and knowning that I now have a way to provide water for my family in case of emergency. It may not be the prettiest set up but it works!
