well the video that I'm uploading right now is a iPhone capture from a
Live Stream on YouTube - USNERDOC First Live Stream
livestream that I did earlier today actually my very first livestream so I
gave it to you in its entirety unedited as one of my viewers said warts-and-all
and I'm gonna do another livestream it was fun even though I was talking only
to myself but it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed kind of working on the
technology so the video you are about to see is my very first livestream which I
accidentally deleted because I didn't understand all the buttons that's part
of the fun of learning a good thing I recorded it on my iPhone alright thanks
for watching alright well greetings from Mountain
View ranch I'm not sure how many people we're going to have on this livestream
but kind of an experiment and if you're tuning in welcome so I'm coming to you
live from Mountain View ranch and we don't have a lot of internet capability
out here so I'm using an iPad and screaming on an iPad so we'll see how
that turns out this may be a short live stream if we have nobody tuned in which
is totally ok I'm more interested in just learning the the technology and to
verify that I'm capable of doing it and so far it looks like it is working ok I
am also filming this on my iPhone right next to the iPad so that I can perhaps
make a little youtube video with that as well so behind me you see the inside of
our poll barn that we've been working on it's definitely been a work of love and
a kind of a long project but it's coming along we are out here right now
early March sort of middle March I guess but it's still a little bit cool still a
little bit winter weather we had hail yesterday and it's been quite windy and
rain but we've also had some really really nice periods of warm
weather and we're hoping to finish up the trim work not very much we have a
short pickup list and then priming caulking and then painting we have a
block of time perhaps about seven to nine days and if the weather holds out
hopefully we'll get some paint on the barn
all right well this is my first YouTube livestream and honestly I'm not
expecting a lot of people to tune in I'm a very small channel but I just wanted
to give the mode a ago I've been watching a number of live streams on
YouTube and I just find them fascinating I particularly like the interaction with
the audience it's much more dynamic and fast and I thought it would be kind of
interesting to give that a shot from Mountain View Ranch but also just to see
if I could muster the technical difficulties of doing a live stream
without a lot of internet capability so right now we're doing this completely
mobile often iPad and we'll see how it how it works out
all right well I think it's gonna be a very very short live stream which is
which is a-okay um hey listen if you if you I think I will go ahead and post
this as a as a video to the channel thought it would be interesting if you
see this afterwards let me know a couple of things one do you like live streaming
on YouTube is it something that you participate in do you find it
interesting do you find it enjoyable and then if you're a follower of my channel
first of all thank you very much I appreciate the support let me know if
it's something that you would like to see from this channel would you like to
see live streaming from my channel and if you would I will certainly do
everything I can in the to accommodate that but also I would
really like to hear what channels do you listen to that are live streaming
what live streams have caught your interest and do you look forward to so
leave that in the comments below it's always kind of interesting to see what
people are watching and what interests them and sort of what tickles your your
fancy well I I kind of thought if I did have anybody tuned in I might be
answering some questions about the barn about our property perhaps where we're
at with the project and what we're looking to do in the future and I can
certainly do that in future videos right now obviously we want to get this barn
completed we want to get the interior done so that we can have a more
efficient storage in here right now we've just have been bringing things in
and I've chewed up all my floor space but as you can see behind me I've got
plenty of wall space and we will be able to store a lot of things in cabinets and
shelves on the walls you might see straight above me that line going right
above that roll-up door behind me is an area that we will run a loft
side-to-side and end-to-end in the barn I'm not sure if it's going to be an
entire floor loft or if we will leave it open in spaces because we do have in the
roof above we've got clear light panels that allow sunlight to come in and it's
kind of nice during the day right now it's it's illuminated in the barn and
it's a nice workspace but I'm afraid that if I completely loft in that space
that I'll certainly will lose my daylight which I don't want to do it
will for sure make it much easier to heat the barn and make it warm but come
in a sacrifice of light so we'll have to kind of play with that and
see what we do I'm gonna just point out some things that I see in the background
just to kind of explain things those red things right there those go on my table
saw those are infeed and outfeed tables you might have seen those if you follow
my channel for a long time those I had him set up in my shop in our old house
right now they're sitting here on the barn and I'm hoping that this space
right here will be my woodshop and I'll get my table saw set up in there and you
can see my table saw right there we've been using it the last couple of days to
rip trim to fit around the windows we we have our windows all tuned in and
everything looks good then right behind there you'll see some tie back hanging I
actually put that on all four windows those are my temporary screens right now
so that people can't look into the barn but right underneath there you'll see
kind of a blue area right there that's where my brother-in-law is staying right
now on the property and he's hunkered down
there at nighttime and pretty warm we've got some heaters that we use during the
evening hours when we have dinner in the barn and then he likes to turn all the
lights off he has a little reading lamp on the bill of his hat and he's a
voracious reader and he'll read a couple hours and then fall asleep but right now
that's his space we did at one time think that we were going to block that
entire space and so between those posts and then going backwards block in that
space and make it a living quarters which we still may do but we might turn
it into more of a little bunk house so there's bunks in there if we have guests
that are coming and staying on the property but ultimately what we're gonna
do I think this summer Beth has talked me into building a
small well typical of these projects a small bunkhouse that we can use for for
guests certainly when oak comes to visit and he
honestly I could not have built this barn without his help I'd look at all
that stuff behind me and I can think of every day that we worked here hanging
all of that material just the two of us good times no doubt but he'll have a
much more comfortable place to stay when he comes he is a boy he loves coming
here he's an outdoors person and he's got his little routine first thing he
does when he arrives here is tootle around in the Polaris do a little land
survey kind of see how things are going if there's been any changes since he's
been here last and then he'll get his area set up and we just have a great
time so a lot of work to do as you can see and I've got a lot of storage to
work on but this summer I think we're going to be building one more structure
before we build a house and that'll be a little bunkhouse so that we've got
quarters for people to stay when they come and help us or if Beth and I just
come by ourselves if we don't want to bring the camp out here we will we'll
stay in that be turnkey just open the door turn it turn on the solar panels
turn on the gas and you're good to go all right guys well I guess by YouTube's
standards my first my first live stream is a flop although I will say for me
it's not a flop I wanted to see how this works I wanted to get a sense of the
technology and get a sense of if it's something that I can incorporate in my
channel and granted I've got a small channel and
I honestly I I would have been surprised if one person tuned in and and and
watched but I do think it's a fun aspect of YouTube and I've been really enjoying
scouting around different channels and watching either play backs of live
streams or if I catch one from a channel that I like to plug in and participate
in the chat and it's a fun way to really engage the YouTube community so I've
been enjoying that quite a bit all right what else can I say before I think I
will sign off because we have nobody participating more videos coming up this
summer we're gonna be finishing up the barn and then starting some projects
here I might stream some well I won't stream anymore I think I don't know I
will be making some videos from our progress here while we are working this
week I was going to get Beth and oak on this live stream but I don't think
they'll like to participate there's nobody watching so we'll see all right
guys well this was fun it's my first live stream and honestly I was not
expecting a lot but if you're catching this in the reruns don't laugh
alright give me a thumbs up if you can hey listen if you if you stumbled on

unsuccessful livestream and I will do more of these and certainly if you watch
these in in the okay that's fun about live-streaming isn't it it's it's real

youtube and we'll try and make that happen I also post on Instagram
I love taking photos and sharing photos so check out Instagram
USN ER doc on instagram alright guys thanks for watching alright well I don't
know how successful that was but it was fun I'm looking at the little so this is
the first time I played with this technology I'm streaming from an iPad
that actually has if so it's one of the iPads that has phone capabilities in it
and that actually is quite helpful when I'm traveling but that stream was 14
minutes a little more than 14 minutes and we had no no participants which is
okay I don't know it was fun I'm gonna probably do more of that just because I
enjoy the process what I did what I did find fascinating is you know your mind
will stop for a second as you're trying to think of what to say and I wasn't
anticipating that so that was that was pretty fun but yeah that was good I'm
gonna go ahead and post that and one of my one of my viewers I was
catching up on comments and I took this as a compliment but one of the things he
said is one of the aspects that he enjoys about my channel is I post
everything warts and all and and that's true i I could certainly cut and edit
and make things look all nice and fancy and I try not to do that if I make a
mistake I'll leave it in there if I do something stupid I'll leave it in there
because I learn from that and well I enjoy the comments I get so anyway guys
take care and thanks for watching
all right we're posting that epic fail a
lot of fun alright take care from Mountain View Ranch
