Pigs out, broken water, rotten lard | Fixed (day 85 of 100 building a homestead).
In this Day 85 vlog of the 100‑day homestead series, the narrator recounts a series of daily events on the homestead in Fletcher, North Carolina. A 500‑plus‑pound boar named Beefcake escaped but promptly returned, highlighting livestock management challenges. The new root cellar is inspected and noted as a potential emergency sleeping space. The narrator nostalgically references favorite movies (Dumb and Dumber, Spaceballs, Willow, Babes in Toyland) and music (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Pearl Jam) from their youth. A malfunctioning Everflow waterer is repaired, though water is still present in the lower area. Rotten lard containing meat is discovered and deemed unsafe, underscoring food‑safety concerns. Finally, rain forces the narrator to take the rest of the day off, illustrating how weather dictates homestead schedules.
