In this informal farm vlog, Justin and Becky respond to a sudden pig escape that damages their greenhouse and chicken area, prompting a quick clean‑up and a discussion about the missing mineral feeder. They then coordinate a gravel delivery to construct a French drain, describing the size of gravel (3/4‑inch), trench dimensions, pipe placement, and slope considerations, while referencing a supplier (ABCplus.biz) and showing the physical work of digging, moving equipment, and installing corrugated pipe. Throughout the build they share casual banter about tools, a Christmas present, and upcoming vacation plans. The video transitions to a cooking segment where they prepare fajitas, demonstrating seasoning, searing techniques, and plating, ending with a lighthearted tasting moment. The overall tone is conversational, instructional, and family‑oriented, mixing farm maintenance with a home‑cooking showcase.
Chapters
This morning Jonah came rushing in as we were getting ready. Run to the greenhouse as quick as you can! And I did. And the pig— this is what the pigs had done. Oh my word, this is what happened when you— when the pigs get out. They knocked over the mineral feeder for the chickens. There's no feeder water on their tray. Where's the feeder and water? There's no feed in the feeder. The, the nest box is down. Oh my word, the poles off the turkey shop. You guys, They ate the nesting material. The bottom is out of this. Where in the world— where would they go in a metal strip? Oh, it's probably in it. It's probably— there it is, it's right here. We got that under control. Let's— we need to get some gravel. Hey, y'all sell gravel? What kind? Uh, regular 3/4-inch gravel? Yeah, that'd be— that'd be fine just for her French drain.
I'm gonna try something new today, Justin.
What's this?
This is—
oh, you're gonna start the process while we're out there?
A little bit. I just want to see if maybe we can, uh, do that. I actually have seen on Instagram—
what would you do, wash that every time? Yeah, you can wash Check the washing machine. Yeah, Pips does think they'll be able to get me a load of gravel today. It's a bad day to be digging though, it's raining. The landscape supply store is on the phone. That was quick. They said they can bring it right now. So what do they use for French drain? What size gravel? And I'll just take a load because I can just use it on my gravel driveway as well, any extra. Welcome back to the channel. Today we're talking drain. I thought I better for sure look up, talk to Mrs. Boob Tube, and find out how to do a French drain so I don't make any like critical mistakes. So we've got a hole dug for our catch basin over here. That'll go in that hole right here. Yeah, and we're gonna pour just a little base down here in the bottom. Try to get the gravel in the hole. After reviewing those videos, I think our trench is big enough. What's going on? Me? Yeah. Did they make a cut? Yeah, they went— they did it? Yep, and they made it horrible.
I did not want it like that.
Oh my, we were halfway done with this axe and this is how they cut it out. I didn't go with that. That's weird. He's doing it for a Christmas present too.
He got me two Christmas presents.
There's our outline. Well, I thought we we were gonna start, but the boys— apparently the cow stepped in the bucket or something. All right, bring me the dirty bucket, please. You want to watch that, Grandma, or you want me to wash it?
I'll be glad to.
Okay, just catching froth so far. Maybe it'll catch anything. Then we'll be, uh, double filtering it.
You were looking at the completely wrong thing.
I cut out his ax. What did he just get? Get in. I gotta go see it. Thank you, bud. I thought that one thing was Jerry. Oh yeah. How you doing?
GRP 3, GRP BBC A.
All right, those are always—
but we could always move this too.
We need to move it. Yeah. One, 2, 3. Nope. You got your chainsaw and your axe now. Don't cut it all down at once. Boy, the list keeps piling up, Becky. We also got to get the feed all the way in before we leave.
Yeah, I know, there's so much to do.
You'll have to train him.
We don't have to leave like super early Tuesday morning.
That's right, we're breaking it up because we're breaking it up. So all right. We're going on vacation. Woo! I didn't think I needed it, but apparently now that we get closer, I'm thinking we need it.
I'm excited. It's gonna be fun.
We're gonna have a good time. You know, it's good to build a life that you don't need a vacation from, and I feel like that's what we've done. Every day feels like Saturday. You should still rest. You have the seventh day rest. Yes. Then a week, and then I think a yearly rest is good whether you need it or not.
Minerals, by the way, I saw, I believe, I could be wrong, but I think I saw on their website the month of December any mineral is 10% off.
Rebecca, I can hear them asking now what website.
It's ABCplus.biz.
That's where we get our minerals.
It's Advanced Biological Concepts is their name.
Not sponsored, just great stuff. The security guys are here for our home security system and there goes the minerals. All right, let's get the stud muffin out. Here, let me see your axe. Look, the gravel! We got to get the stone uphill because it'd be easier for us to transport it down and out of the way from the tractor trailers, and in front of something that we don't use much or aren't going to use in a while, the horse trailer. Oh yeah, it's gonna be so much. I'm glad I got that much though. What? Because, uh, we'll use what we need in the ditch and then we can spread it all the rest out on the gravel. What happened?
Well, it's just a very long chain. That's what Jonah's idea was.
All right, all right.
But it's like so long.
There's a cable that— there's like a cable right there, I think. Seem like— all right, let's do it. You want to do it? Do it.
Where do you want me to go?
Just pull it up a length. Come out, it's not working. There you go, pull up. We want to go 11 inches down. Close, uh, but where do we measure from? The top slope or the bottom slope? I learned over at the chain, if you just stare at something long enough thinking about it, you'll figure out an answer. Oh, here we go. Let's do it this way. Just look at it long enough and you'll figure it out. In the videos I watched, they did put soil back over it, so We'll put the soil back over at a slope. They're getting with it. We do have to have a fall. We have to have a fall from there to here. I don't know if there's a natural fall here, but to double sure, we'll put our pipe a little higher over there than it is down here. So down here it'd be towards the bottom, and there more— we'll have more gravel. We did it! We did it! How's it look, Mr. Henry? He's asleep on my back. We have the pipe stall. We have some corrugated stuff on top, but not very much. Some 6-inch. That's not what we need. We basically have nothing we need. Maybe we could use that short piece so that we could get a 50-foot piece. I don't know if it comes in 50 or 100-foot length. What you making?
A motorbike.
Oh wow, does it fit in there? Yeah. Oh wow, that's crazy. Yeah, that's the little motor.
Yeah, that's cool. I'm gonna attach this like that and put the wheel back on.
Man, that'd be cool if you make that work. I know how much corrugated pipe we need because I know how long the greenhouse is. I don't know how long it is from the greenhouse to the creek. Piggy, you leaving? Oh yeah, unless you want it. No. On today's episode of Burn It Up Cooking Show, fajitas. Can you measure from the top of the greenhouse, the right side of the greenhouse, all the way down to the creek? You know how long of a pipe we need to put in there, you know what I'm saying? Big pot, high heat, tallow. What better to fry this up in than its own fat? Let me show you guys a trick. One you guys taught me. But how do you know if it's ready? Put your wooden spoon in there, it'll sizzle the wooden spoon. Because what I want is a nice— you ready? We did it! Got these handy-dandy spice racks that pull out. Salt, red ones. There's too much liquid. How do we get that out? The key to getting a nice crisp egg is not a lot of liquid. Look how much liquid is already back in there. There must be a trick, and I don't know it. I need to talk to Mr. Google Pants or one of y'all. I think I figured it out before she's even looked it up, but it's the salt.
Yes, I have found that. When I have done it.
Would it be that fast?
Yes, it draws the liquid out.
We're not going to get that sear on this first one. We're going to call it. I don't think we're going to, uh, well, definitely not going to salt. See what happens.
And I'm going to get all this out and wipe it out.
Thin layer of oil. Got the sizzle. Oh, we forgot to— it's going better this time. Oh yeah, we got a sear, Becky! We got a sear. A little bit of juice is good. You don't want it to be dry, right? I think we're getting it. The vent is on, folks. Good sign, huh, Beck? Yeah. That's colorful. How is it, everyone? Good. Look at this plate.
I'm enjoying it immensely.
Take an Instagram photo of that thing. Are you really gonna take a video of me? Is that pretty? Does it taste as good as it looks?
