You’re a prime example for working hard & building the best life for you & your family. I applaud you. It’s refreshing to see you instead of all the craziness going on in the world today. Take care. Stay safe
Hi, Bear Hill (thats the official name) was always a challenge! I got another surprise for you! Do you remember the bad hurricane Juan? Hi hit in September 2003 as a hurricane category 3. He split the nicest Pine Tree around the lake in front of the Log Home! We didn’t wanted to loose them. So I got way high up in the tree and fastened him together again. And find out; 19 years later it still holds after many, many storms and tons of snow!😁 Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪☘️ Bobby
Amazing the skill level you have with that huge machine. You work it like it's an extension of your own hand. Thanks for bringing us along on this adventure.
I love watching your progress and determination to better you and your family. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you for allowing us to have a window to your life.
That Mulcher works great ! I love it but I don't think you went far enough. You need to work further to the south and don't stop until you pass Washington DC ! 👍🇺🇸👍 Great video ! Stay safe & warm.
I can’t say it enough. Love your videos. You’re a hard worker in everything you do and have earned it all. I really enjoy watching the transformation of the areas that you work. At your house, at the cottage or at a cell tower site. It makes great entertainment and the difference between start to finish is always amazing. Thank you for sharing it all with us.
Watching all the way from Australia, i can"t fathom how you guys handle all of that snow & ice. I just never see it here. I suppose we have massive bushfires to deal with instead. Love you're videos. Keep them coming. Best wishes from down under.
We have had dome weird storms lately to had a bad ice event then this past weekend they said an inch of snow we ended up with 3 to 5 never a dull moment
Clean your woodstove flues or pipes yet ? I did that for 5 years. Learned from the best. Usually no need to disconnect them inside the cottage. Take the cap off the top above the roof if possible and sweep it down into the stoves with the air intakes closed. Wrap the "cold" stove with an old blanket to hold the very fine ash down, assuming you don't have a professional vacuum. If you have a pro vac, you can sweep upward then clean the soot and ash from inside the stove. Hopefully the baffles are easily removed to gain access to the pipes from the inside of the stoves. RUclips may show you how to remove your baffles. You could also hire a pro chimney sweep of course since good brushes and rods are kind of expensive, unless you already have them. Good luck.👍👍
Seems like that property has some secrets you haven't found yet.... Maybe underground cave with water. There is a lot more there then rain and snow. Time will tell. I love watching you run the weed eater. You and yours be safe.
You are amazing. I see why some people were afraid of the work the property needs. You were Born to Own the land. It's just so exciting to see it come into it's own. And Opinion"s are like Ass Holes, everyone has One!! I now can't wait for your Videos!! They are EPIC. OH YOUR DOG'S ARE SO INCREDIBLE 😍 My girl friend and I were laughing about how they match the Cottage! Those dog's are in Heaven being able to run around there. I crack up when you call Tony. My brother his name is Tony and I know he can definitely be a DOG. Great name. So until next video, take care and be safe. 🐕🪶🥶🥷⛄🌧️🌩️🐩🚜🎥🥾🛠️🔁🦺🐿️🦨🌲🌳🍁🌿☘️🍀🌳🌡️🌤️⛅🌲🌥️⛰️
Great video to show folks, that while the cottage and property are very beautiful, there is a lot of work involved in maintaining a remote homestead. Great work, stay safe my friend.
I think it was primarily rain just running downhill over the frozen ground. That's the problem with lots of rain when the ground is frozen. Things flood that might never in warmer weather.
You make me so glad that I live in Toronto Ontario Canada and don't have to fight the weather anymore!😍 I used to be in Nova Scotia and I left there year ago ! I even have lived in the Valley for a short period of time! (Aylesford area )
We are your neighbours across the lake.. We kayaked to your new cottage when it was for sale this past summer. Nice spot... It's been interesting watching "our" lake on RUclips.
Don’t know if you have a stand alone shredder? You could shred branches and brush, and spread it over the ground you’ve been stumping and working on. I think there’s a ‘feel good’ factor to it. Shows you the progress you’re making, and you don’t have to wait for nature to do its bit. Loving the cottage. Takes me back to when I was maybe 10. Family friends had a cottage on a lake in Halliburton Ontario. The best spot on the lake, without a doubt.
Howdy ! Looks like you should scope out the auction for a small 14 , 6 wheel drive with back rippers. It wouldn't take long shaping that road with that. Great for snow too ! Lots of work you have ahead of you. It's been raining and snowing over here also. Roads are like skating rinks. I had to chain up 3 times in one day. Thanks for the vid! Be well.
I wouldn't have went to the Daycare... The weather could of gotten worst not worth it. Just started watching you... Hard work and knowledge that your Dad instilled in you is paying off 👍🏻😁. Congrats...
It is so satisfying to watch the changes made with fun machines!! It HAS to be 1000 times more satisfying to actually be planning on the fly’ and making the changes. It would be very hard to move slower for any reason when you can visualize and know what the end result will be. Also it is a big deal knowing you have your friends and experienced teams who can help if you find yourself in a ‘pickle. 😉
We have a ‘cottage’ too and often feel a bit overwhelmed by the work that needs doing on it but then I look at your videos …….. love ‘em. Keep up the good work.
We had a blizzard here where I live in Nevada City California last February and we got about four feet of snow in a period of eighteen hours. Almost our entire county had no power. At my house no power for thirteen days and thirteen nights. All I have is a 2000-watt Honda generator. You know I got used to it after a few days. I spent most of that time helping my neighbors!! thanks for the videos I love you kids already God Bless and stay safe!!
I still think you got a gem yes you got and was very lucky to get it yeah you got some repairs to do something that are gonna take a while in that but oh my God what a beautiful gorgeous place right on the water. Amazing just totally amazing
Really great video!!!! Love watching your progress coming along. Can't wait till your next video. Keep them coming!!! I'll be watching them all. Great job. 😊
btw...what was under the stump at 31:01 (odd shape shooting out from stump)? I feel guilty "watching" you work, but know that we are all cheering you on as you "get 'er done" 😉 Amazed at all you do, but it will be so nice and enjoyable soon.
Wow, anything is possible with the correct machinery. 👍🏻 You make it look so easy?? One question, what do you do with the stump waste once it’s up out of the ground? Do you burn it, or cut it up with a chainsaw? Very intrigued to know? Here is Scotland, on Estate Landrover roads, we put in wooden u-shapes storm drains, which run across the roads at intervals, and this helps to drain water off our roads, and prevents water from simply running down the roads, washing out the gravel/hardcore surfaces. A friend of mine, refuses to do this, and their road, regularly gets washed out on one side every winter. It is a nightmare and makes visiting them with a normal car, very difficult. They share the road with two other property owners! Guess that, getting them to share the cost is the real problem? However, if they were not so stingy, and counted up the cost of repairing large sections of their road yearly, the storm drain option would be cost effective. As the old saying goes, “you can take a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink?” Great to watch you doing stuff around your property. Keep up the good work and take care 👍🏻😁
Hahaha that’s all true. I will bring in a tandem and we haul away to a dump site. Typically someone who has a section of low land they are looking to build up.
Dude, any chance you found photo albums or cassette tape footage of this place in its former glory? Really great great property, but WOW the Swiss guy you said lived there before.....what a guy! His skill set, the buildings construction all to the highest possible standard, fishing, hunting, outdoor cooking....what a guy! Any back story on him?
I know things are done differently depending on location and equipment but if you are going to remove the trees and stumps then why not push the trees before cutting?... that way you have the leverage of the tree to to help remove your stumps. That how we do things were I live as long as there's room.
Amazing videos! You're a hard worker! 💪 For the filming, it would help the viewer if you had a gimbal, as it prevents the shakiness of the videos. Also a tripod for stationary jobs with the digger would be great! (But who am I to ask ... :D ) Anyway, thanks for sharing these in this beautiful part of the world!
I know you feel lucky to have gotten this property ,it has so much potential. I can only imagine the previous owners are happy to watch your progress on RUclips . They sold to someone who is going to care for ,maintain and improve what they started, probably with a lot lease powerful equipment at the time. Looking forward to watching the beautification .
Excavators are awesome. Haha. Great work bro. Can't wait to see the progress. 👌 Kinda lame the 1m+ viewers from the first video didn't follow the rest of the process. Oh well. :/
Quick question ❓ Have you thought about getting a jaw crusher to get rid of the bigger rock's and get something out the pile and any others you find and get some gravel IDK if it would be worth while you'd know better than me. As always good luck and God bless and stay positive and safe out there.
Great vid. You at least show the reality of living in a wood. Controlling nature is something most dont even think about. It's coffee overlooking the lake never the road being washed away or needing to cut trees. Not even mentioning the cost as most definitely won't have the heavy equipment you already have.
You’re a prime example for working hard & building the best life for you & your family. I applaud you. It’s refreshing to see you instead of all the craziness going on in the world today. Take care. Stay safe
Your cabin videos are my very favorite!

Hahaha oh yeah I seen the strap there the first day we looked at the place. It’s still holding strong!
@@workplaytv this was a piece of art and super strong 😂 , but I was quite a way up there 😰
WOWOWOWOWOW BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! THAT STUMP REMOVAL WAS AWESOME TO WATCH I'VE NEVER SEEN IT DONE LIKE THAT B4 SO THANKS, F.M.V.
Amazing the skill level you have with that huge machine. You work it like it's an extension of your own hand. Thanks for bringing us along on this adventure.
LOVE that Mulcher! Serious equipment and does great job clearing the area of overgrowth. Really enjoy watching this cottage adventure :)
That is some bad ass machinery.
I love watching your progress and determination to better you and your family. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you for allowing us to have a window to your life.
Wow! Love watching this, the machinery is fascinating! You definitely do a good job handling the machinery!👌
I really like your videos 😍 and your a good person with a big kind humble heart
There is something strangely satisfying about you pulling those stumps
Wow, pulling up that stump was cool to watch. That root system was impressive!
That Mulcher works great !
I love it but I don't think you went far enough.
You need to work further to the south and don't stop until you pass Washington DC !
👍🇺🇸👍
Great video ! Stay safe & warm.
I was totally mesmerised by the machinery! Amazing. Gee that water under the road was something else. Thank you ❤️🇦🇺🇨🇦

Whoa! Winter made you a whole lot of work, that is an awesome machine pulling those stumps. Gorgeous paradise you have there.
awesome job mr. plus 9 here today and rain overnight. minus 20 tomorrow overnight. gonna get nasty. be safe. Mark in ontario
Watching all the way from Australia, i can"t fathom how you guys handle all of that snow & ice. I just never see it here.

I'm a big fan of your video's
Great video as always, the cottage is totally amazing 😊👍🌹
Pretty amazing, lots of hard work . 👍🏼
I live in Florida and enjoy all your videos !!!!
I am from upstate NY but have lived in FL for 43 years! I absolutely love his videos, especially ones at the cabin ❤️
Wow! You make this look so cool! And you actually have graceful movement taking out the stumps! Amazing work! Liz
Still cannot get over the virtual wood shop that came with the cabin.. lol great buy
You have the coolest stump pulling toys !
We have had dome weird storms lately to had a bad ice event then this past weekend they said an inch of snow we ended up with 3 to 5 never a dull moment
You are a hardworking individual. I love your shows.
That property is such a gem. Can't wait to you make it a diamond.
The roads looking nice and wide now.
Clean your woodstove flues or pipes yet ? I did that for 5 years. Learned from the best.
Usually no need to disconnect them inside the cottage.
Take the cap off the top above the roof if possible and sweep it down into the stoves with the air intakes closed.
Wrap the "cold" stove with an old blanket to hold the very fine ash down, assuming you don't have a professional vacuum.
If you have a pro vac, you can sweep upward then clean the soot and ash from inside the stove.
Hopefully the baffles are easily removed to gain access to the pipes from the inside of the stoves.
RUclips may show you how to remove your baffles. You could also hire a pro chimney sweep of course since good brushes and rods are kind of expensive, unless you already have them.
Good luck.👍👍
The plan was to clean the chimneys before lighting the fires on the first day at the cottage.
The machines are awesome.Plus your skill in sing them.Going to be beautiful .

Having a cabin off grid is a blessing! That steel pipe might be blocked up.... Thanks for showing us!
Having the right equipment to hand and knowing how to use it is a definite bonus. It sure beats having to hire someone to do the job. 🙂
Thank God, you bought that cottage!!
Stay safe and God bless!!
You’ve got a lot of work to do, but you’re getting there.
Great equipment. Makes the job a little easier. Thanks for taking us along. Take care. Stay safe😄
My thinking is that you need to move to the cottage and rent out the homestead, make it a bnb.
I love the cottage and the grounds.
I really enjoy your videos. From buildings you bought, fixing, equipment, dogs, family. Dont listen to the negative comments. Your doing a great job..
I haven't seen negative comments. Weekdays to be negative about? I know there's always some negative nellies.
Great video to show folks, that while the cottage and property are very beautiful, there is a lot of work involved in maintaining a remote homestead. Great work, stay safe my friend.
As you’re working your magic with that machine, the saying/song that ran thru my head was “Shave and a haircut… two bits’”. Lol great job!
Love watching the machines work
Same here, plus snow and ice
The mulching to the music was very calming! Good touch! 👍🏼
Can’t get over the amount of groundwater! I’d think that helped with the stump ripping.
I think it was primarily rain just running downhill over the frozen ground. That's the problem with lots of rain when the ground is frozen. Things flood that might never in warmer weather.
This is a wonderful place for camping with tent pitches, cabins, motorhomes, boat rental. campfires and a small shop with selected items.etc
Looking good! It’s fun to watch! Keep it up!
You make me so glad that I live in Toronto Ontario Canada and don't have to fight the weather anymore!😍 I used to be in Nova Scotia and I left there year ago ! I even have lived in the Valley for a short period of time! (Aylesford area )
This is exactly the type of property my son and I want. You are so blessed.
We are your neighbours across the lake.. We kayaked to your new cottage when it was for sale this past summer. Nice spot... It's been interesting watching "our" lake on RUclips.
Are you the ones with the dock in the water I can see from the cottage
@@workplaytv No- we are 4 lots past those Can Docks you can see. You wouldn’t be able to see ours from your lot since we’re in a bit of a cove.
Doing an amazing job with what you totally have to do on this project and away from this cottage project 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just love watching these videos! Especially you playing with those huge toys!

Good video brother. Looks good so far. A few loads of gravel would definitely help
First blimey! Best wishes from 🇬🇧
We have a ‘cottage’ too and often feel a bit overwhelmed by the work that needs doing on it but then I look at your videos …….. love ‘em. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for an awesome update on the cabin. As always the cabin videos are my favorite!
watching this again.. haha, even shook the dirt off after you got it out : )

Taming the land. That going to make a huge difference.
Hi Bud,
Keep up the nice work.
Good luck what a fantastic place you have bought keep up the good work.
I still think you got a gem yes you got and was very lucky to get it yeah you got some repairs to do something that are gonna take a while in that but oh my God what a beautiful gorgeous place right on the water. Amazing just totally amazing
Looking good will have no issues with getting our Metal Roofing trailer in….
She will be ready for ya buddy
Fantastic place.
Best wishes.
Really great video!!!! Love watching your progress coming along. Can't wait till your next video. Keep them coming!!! I'll be watching them all. Great job. 😊
Great job today well done.
I was sorry to hear about the accident and your tragic loss. My condolences

That’s a lot of work WOW 😮
Have a landscaping expert look at rain water drainage. They should be able to alleviate or end the problem with it.
I actually do exactly that work. Lol. I can take care of that.
@@workplaytv I'm a new subscriber so I didn't know. Do you have a topography map of your property ?
Workplaytv I like your utube videos 📹
Wow, I love it!! You took those trees down like they were nothing 😳🥰🥰 it was so satisfying 😍
I know things are done differently depending on location and equipment but if you are going to remove the trees and stumps then why not push the trees before cutting?... that way you have the leverage of the tree to to help remove your stumps.
That how we do things were I live as long as there's room.

I understand progress but it kind of hurts to see these beautiful trees come down.

Hello Have a good day
Excavators are awesome. Haha. Great work bro. Can't wait to see the progress. 👌 Kinda lame the 1m+ viewers from the first video didn't follow the rest of the process. Oh well. :/
What kind of pine trees do you have on your property?

Got my wife to watch this video so she could see some real gardening tools .
Haha
Did you get many wash outs from all that rain? Debris stopping the culvert from doing it's job
We made out ok for the most part
The culvert must be full of debris we have them here in Florida too they get clogged up with leaves and branches and stuff
You need post 10 he’s great with water problems
I think I can handle it. It’s what I do. He is good though
@@workplaytv he gets lots of views
Great vid. You at least show the reality of living in a wood. Controlling nature is something most dont even think about.

Hey fella, enjoyed all the videos. Amazing place. Why have the videos stopped? Hope all well with you and family
Tons of videos after this
Just curious, but would it be worth your while to trench the power line in rather than poles. No downed trees to worry about.
Good JOB , BRAVO!!! Bon courage et lâche pas :)
Have you considered a circle drive?
