  • We bought this old farm in the country. It hasn't been lived at in over 5 years. We have been cleaning up the property getting it ready for our future home. We hope to build a cabin on this property in next couple years.

    I have been watching your videos for a while, and love them. My wife is now enjoying them too. We are starting to take over her fathers farm, and had to laugh enormously at the tires. We are CONSTANTLY cleaning up old tires off every area of the farm.

    So glad you decided to scrap the metal instead of just making a dump behind a shed like many landowners. Old tyres make great playgrounds for goats, if you are getting any to clear the brush and weed.
