Pressing pause on the house build...

  • We are by no means stopping work on our 1000 sq/ft mortgage free house. But...we've decided to wait a month or two and see how things pan out before spending the $7-8,000 dollars on concrete that was planned next month.
    To be clear, the economy/housing market doesn't really affect our build. We're building the house for as little money out of pocket as possible, so it's not like it doesn't make financial sense moving forward. We just want to stockpile a little extra cash in these uncertain times.

    0:40 - "I accidentally bought two backhoes" That's a phrase you don't hear very often.

    I should have made this more clear in the video: This is NOT pressing pause on making new videos! Just on pouring concrete next month. We're very much enjoying getting back on RUclips :)
    Edit: I should also add this probably seems weird to post a video about slowing things down right after “getting started.” To us this was a big decision because we’ve been working out on the property for the last 2 months.

    Appreciate the updates and your focus on the goal. When i was younger many told me my plans would fail when i got married, had kid &/or got older. Well been married 25 year, unsuccessful with having kids and well, i am middle aged now and the naysayers were wrong. The current unfortunate situation will pass. They always do. Keep up the good work.

    i got $50 says there's going to be a shipping container behind the house for your offices within a month of you moving in. lolz. Why not negotiate with the tennants a little? Unless there's ones you want out. Give them time to get the loans from the govt, and then slowly move the rent payments back to the first. The insulator guy doesn't need any help because housing construction is essential apparently.
    Also, if the land is low, don't just raise up an area for your house. make sure you plan for a skunky water pool and make sure water has a path from the house to the pool.

    As someone that has cleaned a few acres of brush much like you are doing, might I suggest you take a look at the Ratchet Rake for a possible solution. After seeing it, I built my own and it was very useful to drag that small stuff together without piling up a ton of dirt with it.

    Can we get an update on how things have gone with the warehouse?

  • @troutjunkie7330
    @troutjunkie7330 4 года назад +2

    Smart moves. I would hold too. Plus you can get better deals on everything if the economy really tanks. Small house, large lot. That is the only way we live. Every house we owned was tiny on large acreage.

    I've been looking for a property to build on in Florida similar to what you are doing. Curious what county you're in?

  • @12vLife
    @12vLife 2 года назад

    Anybody know, In most Florida counties away from the city (unincorporated in my case) what's usually the law about storing stuff on a vacant residential lots? Say you left that equipment on your lot that you own and pay taxes on, can somebody file a complaint? Can you get a citation? I'm asking for myself. I am sure if I ask the county they will give the textbook answer of you can do absolutely nothing with your vacant lot until you build and get occupancy... and btw, taxes are due.

    Have you thought about mulching all the greenery instead of burning, then either keep it for your own landscaping purposes, or sell it

    Just be careful with your trees, I'm sure you've done the research, but piling dirt around trees is not healthy. Like I said , with all you research you probably have all you trees planned out but I would hate to see you lose more.. Thanks for the update!

      ​@MikoWorldwide No, they started a family. They have 2 babies now, so give them time to adjust to their new life. I believe they are still active on instagram, though.
