In this brief vlog-style announcement, Victor Justin Rhodes (the creator of Homestead Builds) informs Kickstarter backers and viewers that Volume 1 of the Homestead Builds series—comprising a dozen ready‑to‑build designs for chickens, gardens, a turkey coop, and related structures—has been completed. The digital plans for all 12 designs are now available, and a limited‑time sales window (July 22 – July 26) opens for ordering both the digital files and physical books, with the promise that orders placed within the window will be printed in time for Christmas delivery. Rhodes explains that inventory will be demand‑driven and conservative, so early ordering is advised. He also announces three exclusive bonus guides (a printable chicken‑butchering checklist, a rapid‑chicken‑raising guide, and an instant chicken‑garden tutorial) that will disappear after the sale ends. A teaser for Volume 2 (including a milk sled and pig port) is mentioned, and viewers are directed to the homesteadbuilds.com link in the description for more information.
