We bought 44 acres and have done EVERYTHING ourselves. It’s A LOT of work but totally worth it. We aren’t building a house there it’s just a getaway spot. We had to put in a road, we put in a lil cabin (no water or electricity) it isn’t something you do and it’s done it’s a constant process… the trees, weeds and grass are always growing back…. Good luck with all you’re doing… enjoy the process
Jaime! I’m so happy for you, friend! What fun to clear and build from scratch! We have been working on clearing too. Only for our sugar bush. It’s so much fun watching the trees come down but also a bit scary 😅.
and Mrs T How exciting for you all building a new home. Lots of hard work ahead but will all be worth it. Looking forward to regular update on this project
We bought 10 acres with a 1850s farm house barn and milk house and a silo we moved in this passed Dec and we have remodeled every inch of the house and I now have 14 hens 7 ducks and a lion head bunny that was given to me but yes we have at least 8 eggs a day or more and We Love It here
That is a gorgeous property! Hope you are planning to have a fireplace or wood stove because you have plenty of fire wood! Can't wait to see future videos as you progress with this project. ❤❤
Absolutely gorgeous property, but wow... that is a whole lot of hard labor taking all those trees down and out, plus all the stumps! It always is more satisfying when you can do the work yourself, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to hire some help, especially when you are looking at so much hard physical labor. But that's just me... even in our younger days, my hubby and I wouldn't have taken on a project like this. We had our home built way back in 1986 on a lot in Virginia and we tried to keep as many trees as possible, although later discovered that was a mistake. They were already pretty big, and they just get bigger and grow bigger root systems! Live and learn. I wish you guys all the very best. I can't wait to see more updates on how your lovely lot turns into your Shangri-La!
Your property is beautiful. I can see you taking us for walks in your woods. You could cut some wood rounds from your prettiest logs and use in decorating. My Sister has done this and it's gorgeous.
I watched men cutting trees at my sister’s house. It was fascinating. They had to cut it in sections and attach ropes. Trees falling are so loud. Will you be having a fireplace in the house? Next investment: log splitter!
Wonderful piece of property. Excited for you and your family. Are you going to have a source of heat that you could use the fire wood? Otherwise advertise wood for sale - I am sure folks would be happy to take it off your hands.
We will have a wood burning fireplace but this is too much wood to split and stack and keep moving ahead. We will sell the first two clearing of wood off and keep some of the last clearing to split and stack.
Where do you live? We just 2 acres in Tennessee. We have a bunch of trees but it's packed full with brush. I would love to access the woodsy area on our property.
I live in Wisconsin. We have a brush cutter we used. It’s like a weed whip but with a blade at the end instead of a string. It makes quick work of the brush. Like this: amzn.to/4dJTVlv
It’s been too hot for them right now. They’ve been staying underground but in the spring they were fierce. I’m assuming they will be out again in the fall.
We will. We also plan to plant a few blue spruce, fruit and black walnuts. Currently our entire forest is sugar maples outlined with oaks. We have already transplanted a lilac ad well. ❤️

I love working the land. Your property sounds like peace to me.

The sound is overwhelming a bit isn’t it? Eerie!
Looking forward to the process as you go. Love that clearing in the back. Congrats on your new property 💥💥💥
It's beautiful there. Can't wait to see progress as you move along.
It’s slow going but so satisfying knowing that it is all being done with our own two hands. ❤️
That makes you appreciate it even more.
How exciting, lots of work but super satisfying work I am sure! So glad you shaded this with us
It is so satisfying! ❤️

That painting does certainly look like it was painted at your property. How super.
Beautiful spot for a house. Look forward to seeing updates.
Love this! Please continue to to share progress of your property. This is a dream for me and my husband ☺️

It might be a little bit. We are watching the economy right now, just like everyone else. I’m sure.
Very exciting. Thanks for sharing

It is a lot of work but we take enjoyment in it. We get some good family time in as well.
Very exciting!
So happy for you guys !
Thanks, Susan!
You have a beautiful piece of land!

There will be plenty of walks through the woods. We already have ideas for paths and I really want a secret garden. Crossing my fingers in that one.
@@BoredorBananas sounds wonderful
It’s beautiful 🤗
Thank you!
Exciting!!
What an amazing adventure. Is the land very very far from the city? When will you start the building of this house. So happy for you 👍😎👏🤩💕🥳🇨🇦👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
We are watching the economy currently to build when it makes sense. It’s way out in the country. 😉
You should be stacking that hardwood to use for cooking while there or to sell💜
Beautiful💞

Trees falling are so loud.
Will you be having a fireplace in the house? Next investment: log splitter!
Yes, we will have a wood burning fireplace. I want a log splitter! 😂
Beautiful ❤️
We are over the moon excited!
😂😂😂🦋🦋wild violets!!!! Nan from Florida
Yes, and trillium. I actually saw a buttercup too. I haven’t seen them since I lived in NY.
How exciting. Sad to cut down the trees, but absolutely necessary. Lovely piece of land.

@@BoredorBananas thank you for the info!
Need to rent a mulcher
No need. Our hands work just fine. 😉
Dont forget to check for ticks on you and your dog
It’s been too hot for them right now. They’ve been staying underground but in the spring they were fierce. I’m assuming they will be out again in the fall.
Do you have house plans yet?
The final changes are still being drawn.
I have you can save a few trees in your yard.
We will. We also plan to plant a few blue spruce, fruit and black walnuts. Currently our entire forest is sugar maples outlined with oaks. We have already transplanted a lilac ad well. ❤️
That's a lot of work. You shouldn't be there by yourself. The world is to da*n crazy.
I was only alone for 10 minutes or so and Gabe makes sure I have stuff to protect myself. 😃
