Ansel is feeling better! Goat Update From Justin! Alright so we're back here with Ansel. We went into town and got some stuff, he's feeling a lot better, he's acting better. We did get some medicated feed just in case, we just gave him some now. He's definitely acting better though, earlier he was just kind of standing over there by the goat thing, he was just jumping on me a minute ago. We also did get some dewormer, this is the dewormer we got right here. We've had them for about a month so we're gonna give him the first dose of dewormer, we have the chickens we followed them out today to free range so they're over here. Okay so Ansel's doing better! https://barefootlighting.com/?p=1831

Grab a bite, a beer, and see the lights dance! Ralphs on Central Ave. Captain Matt out at Ralph's Italian Tavern you know it right on Central Ave checking out the Gemstones at night. Here's the nice warm white, that's what we've been seeing every night. Good thing we're here, we're gonna go through some colors here little toffee sparkle, obviously my favorite look at that. It's hard to tell in the video how nice it looks but man it looks great in person. There's a bunch of ambient light right over here and it still looks great. Alright here's something else to switch it up got a little Minnie Mouse, a little pink and white. What else we’ve got?

Trading hats! Sonoran Lighting Sent me a Badass Hat! Captain Matt here, just got a Sonoran camo hat here. Sonoran Lighting Supply they're out in Arizona, and what's really cool is I've never actually ordered anything from these guys, we're just  social media followers of each other. He saw my hat so I'm sending him one, he sent me one. It's pretty cool man I like the logo, I love the hat itself and you should definitely check these guys out, obviously they're looking to support the industry. We've had our talks about how there's so many politics in landscape lighting. There is a big old world out here and you know for all the guys putting in the work and trying hard: Everyone can succeed, there can be more than one supplier, there can be more than one installer. Anyways check them out, order a hat if you want to be cool like this and have a great weekend! https://barefootlighting.com/?p=1824

Ansel is feeling a little under the weather. Goat update. Hey guys, I’m out in the goat barn today. I haven't been able to do much work on it lately so it's got the goats but I want to get the hay feeder built today. I'm not sure what I’ve got so far I gotta go into town today and get some supplies, Tractor Supply for the goats. Ansel is not feeling 100%, he's a little out of it today. We think it might be just the heat because we had good cooler weather, I should say a lot of rain, and then it's hot again today. His poop's a little soft, so you know we are new to being goat owners, so it might mean that his tummy is upset, or he could be really overheated. He is drinking water we're gonna get some- Willow’s eating my shorts- we're gonna get some electrolytes and things like that for him, some stuff for his belly in town. Right now he's hanging out in the hay feeder, so all I did was just make it, I gotta hang it.  -Okay, okay that's enough of m...

Talk to your landscapers about your landscape lighting. Why Do Landscapers Hate Lighting Guys...? Hey guys, I'm out here at a client's property in Vermont, beautiful property. We've now done  three phases for him for landscape lighting, and I'm out here checking some things. He had a light that I needed to adjust correctly because of the Wi-Fi issues. We've tested out a new Wi-Fi setup with some new controllers that allow us to actually split the power after the transformer, so we can actually have as many zones we want that are controlled separately from a Smart Life app. So, I'm here messing with that. Got to the manufacturer because the app's acting weird, um so do the support team on that, just wanted to show this one thing here quickly. When you have landscapers tell them to be more careful with the landscape lighting, you're paying a lot of premium money here to light up your property and they're hitting these things with lawn equipment, right...

Here's a glimpse of ours. Whats Your Job Prep Look Like? Captain Matt I'm gonna hear him talking about Barefoot lighting processes. Some guys are asking so this is pack out staging, everything is labeled, case three, case four. So, we have these Milwaukee cases they all get loaded up. On top is paperwork, this one's just waiting, there's a couple light bulbs that we got in it for that. We got the paperwork that's in each one which tells them exactly where all the lights are going which lights are going where, and this has been really great because you can just give it to the guys they can wheel it out, they know it's all packed in there. They have a bucket they can carry around, they also have their own pack out kits. This has been really a good way for us to streamline it in terms of everyone knows where all the lights are going and they have an easy to grab thing knowing that everything is in there. I’m curious, what do you guys do on your landscape lighting ...
