Glad to hear it worked for you! Thanks for watching.

Man, that hurts to hear. My experience is definitely not the norm. Thanks for watching.

It probably would have worked. Im not sure why I used the yardsticks. As it turned out, the epoxy gave out during the second summer of use. The ceiling gets extremely hot during the summer. We put out an updated video where we attached donut-shaped magnets with screws. That has held up perfectly.

Thanks, Suzy! We're still working on it, and thoroughly loving the work! We've planted over 50 trees in our new orchard, six are apple trees and the rest are chestnut trees. We now have three food plots, which are currently growing a mix of winter rye and oats, with some turnips and radishes mixed in. These food plots are for the deer, as are the trees we planted. The trees should hopefully start producing in 6-7 years. During the non-summer months, we work on adding ATV trails to make more areas of the property accessible. We've added a large (to us) rainwater harvesting system, which really helped us make it through the latest drought. It captures 260 gallons for every 1 inch of rain. We have storage capacity for 1100 gallons, but we need to increase that a bit. We do need to build a solar-powered watering system to get that water to the trees this summer. Thanks for watching!

@@OurNewLand Thanks for the update!

Hey George. I drilled a hole right below the top square tubing. I used a rubber grommet within the hole to protect the wire from the solar panel as it passed through the siding. Don't worry about moisture, as no rain enters the hole, but I still put in a drip loop on the inside portion of the wiring. As for moisture, on warm mornings following a cold night, condensation accumulates on the ceiling of the shipping container. This happened on many occasions before we drilled the hole for the wire. You can combat this by spraying foam on the ceiling, but that is costly. Make sure you cover your displays to protect from the dripping. I don't have a video on our solar setup, I can send you pictures. Just shoot me an email. Our email address is in our About tab on the channel description. Thanks for watching!

Hey there, Ben! I hope you're doing well. Ryan and I keep saying we need to put out an Update video, but it never seems to come together. Our father will be moving to to area early next year, so we are hopeful to have a video with him and our sister soon. I spent Thanksgiving with my siblings, mother and father -- the first holiday I've spent with both birth parents! It was surreal. Please shoot me an email with your contact info (if you'd like). I'd enjoy discussing our situation with you. Just hit "More" at the channel description, then tap View Email Address. Thanks again for your continued encouragement and support!

@@OurNewLand Hi Devon, I was accidentally on another channel when I clicked more to get an email address and apparently they only allow that once a day. When I tried to get yours it said email address hidden because of access limits. What a crazy rule but I guess they have their reasons. I will try again tomorrow and send you an email then.

Excellent!! I, too, have had to do the Mississippi count a few times, usually when I'm using a less-than-full battery to jump the expended one. I'm glad it worked for you!

Thank you so much, Catherine!

It's been great! One tip: When you receive it, check to make sure EVERY bolt is on tight. We had a couple of bolts that backed off, causing the belt to come off. Once we tightened those down, everything ran like clockwork. Thanks for watching!

@ ok sounds good. I appreciate it

I did the same thing before I learned of the jump starting trick. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, Dave!

Wow, quite a story you have! Congrats on finding your half sister and learning about your birth mother. It's awesome that you two have grown so close. I love seeing pictures of my birth family and hearing the stories of the members I wasn't able to meet. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a ton!

Heck yeah! I'm glad it saved your dust fan!

Hey there! Such a great question! The glue wouldn't "grab" onto the slick backing of the lights. We tried it and it held for a short while, but soon failed. The glue held on to the magnets a bit better, lasting over a year. But it, too, failed during the second summer. The sun beating on the roof of the shipping container makes the metal too hot to touch. We ended up putting out another video where we screwed donut-shaped magnets to the lights, and they have held up for several years now. Thanks for watching!

Thanks a ton! I left you a rambling VM the other day. Merry Christmas!

You rock!

Thank you, Danielle! Small world, right?

@@OurNewLand Just great to have the internet. We haven’t seen each other in person yet since we live a few thousand miles apart. Her biological father died years ago and her biological mother unfortunately died just a few months before she started her biological family tracking which she soon found out so she tracked down the graves of her biological mother’s parents to search for more who are related to them and was able to find me and my father who is the brother of her biological mother since we only live a few miles away from the cemetery their graves are located.

@@DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY So great! I hope you get to meet her soon!

Thanks for watching! The trench was on the high side of the road, at our steepest corner. So water flows down into the ditch, and the berm is between the ditch and the road. Thanks again!

Excellent! I'm glad it helped you.

Thank you, Colleen. She's lost in the wind right now. She is 50 years old, and has no contact with us. She and I have the same birthday, so she would occasionally reach out to me on that day, but it's been a long time since that last happened. Thanks again.

Thank you so much, Colleen! It has been an amazing experience.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

We have the exact same 4wheeler as yours. Ours looks really, really rough, but it runs like a top. We just recently swapped out the starter, and now it is very dependable. It didn't have brakes when we bought it, but that was an easy fix. Our fan is now hardwired so it automatically turns on when the Honda is running. We were super fortunate to find this property when we did. Land values started to take off right after we closed on the deal. So lucky. The shipping containers have been perfect for us. We keep our machines and tools in them. Thanks a ton for watching!

Yeah, sorry about that. This was an early video for us, and we've improved our filming technique since then. Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped!

Excellent! I’m glad it worked for you!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Good point, Richard!

It is a 20’. Thanks for watching!

Wow, that is a lot to unpack! Thank you for sharing, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

I've seen videos where it works with tool batteries, but I've never had success with it. I think I need to keep the tool batteries connect to each for several minutes instead of a few seconds. I'll try that next time, and if it works for me, I'll post a video of it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for thinking of us! We're doing great, thanks. We spent this past weekend with our sister and father, and had a great time. Our land is progressing, though our food plots got totally fried over the summer. We need rain! Our 45 chestnuts are doing well in their grow tubes. We are looking forward to planting those at the property in a few months. I hope you guys are doing well!

@@OurNewLand we are doing well, have not been spending a lot of time on our farm, just to many other things going on to get there.

Sound like a great idea, Richard! Thanks for sharing.

I get it! Thanks for watching!

That is awesome! I'm glad you've made connections, and I hope you stay in contact with them. I'm sure it feels great knowing your family history on your father's side. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching!

That's a great idea, Ben! Please send us some questions to tackle. Ryan and I spent last weekend with our brother-in-law and had a blast! We discussed getting back to making videos, and we will this fall. We hope all is well with you!

@@OurNewLand A couple questions I would have are: Were you able to get new Tents setup at your property and the highlights and struggles with that? Where are you with the Shipping Container sheds and are you both happy with the final outcome if done? How did the Summer season treat you both and your families and some highlights of your Summer vacations together? General update on the property as far as Tree planting, Food plots and any other interesting facts since your last video. A Live might be a good opportunity to have your cousin on to talk and compare stories between the 3 of you. I'm sure plenty of the viewers that can attend the Livestream will have many more in the Live comment section as well.

@@benburns5995 All are great questions! I discussed it with Ryan, and we will plan to do a live the evening of Sept 30th. We will post about it next week, and I will probably do a practice pop-up Live before then so I can make sure I remember how to do it. Thanks again for your interest and support!

@@OurNewLand Thanks, looking forward to the Livestream. Will try to catch the practice stream if I can.

@@benburns5995 We've had to delay our Live session. Our stepmother died in a car accident a few days ago, so we are focused on our father's wellbeing. We still plan to do a Live, but it'll be later next month now. Our father and stepmother were engaged when we found each other 25 years ago, so I've known her as long as I've known him.

Congrats on getting a shipping container! I’m on my phone so I can’t easily search our videos, but it’s in our Shipping Container playlist. We need to do a video on how we made our shipping container doors function better. We will do that soon. Feel free to ping us with any questions you have. We’ve added a solar system to our first SC, and we will be expanding it to the second SC and to the covered area we have between the two. You’re going to love your container!

Our grass gets torched in the summer, so we won't be cutting it again until next spring. In the past, we have used it to cut winter wheat that was over 4-foot tall, and it did a great job! It never bogged down, though we did slow our driving speed a bit to make sure ever stalk was cut. We are still very pleased with the mower. Thanks for watching.

Thanks again, Michelle!!!

Thanks, Michelle! I think that is my favorite video on our channel. It felt great talking about it. Take care!
