And 'Letsdig18' had got the skill and kit to do driveway, pad and pond the creek a bit. With 'Out of the Woods' and 'Bus Grease Monkey' plus many more to advise along the way! 👍😄😎🇬🇧
The 7 thumbs down were those who didn't get the winning bid..... Great for you two! This is awesome! I am probably speaking for many to tell you I humbled that you chose to share your joy with us.
It's really hard to tell that your wife is excited. You will love living in the country. There's nothing better than the stars at night and the only sound is the bugs. Congratulations.
Backhoe a deeper hole for swimming.... put in a small dam on the output of the swimming hole, then put a water turbine on that output to provide a little power for lights and other things. Run the turbine into a small bank of LiPO4 batteries and you could even run an inverter for a short time with 120VAC power. Good luck with the property!
That hole will fill up with sand, plus DEP would not like the wetlands disturbed, but move 50’ away and dig a hole and pump water into it, use a pond liner so it don’t cloud up real bad
I can see a nice area cleared off near the creek with a rustic shelter set up, with a picnic table set up, a nice stone fire pit, bbq grill and Adirondack chairs set up
I was born and raised and still live in the Wisconsin countryside and that is were I will stay. No way could I stand the city or even a town. Most people don't realize the serenity and the smell of the woods and that's why I love bowhunting.
I’m so excited for you guys! My wife and I just purchased 10 acres on a creek too. We know the excitement! I can’t wait to see the Abom Grillin and Chillin Pad down by the creek!
Congratulations guys, looks a great place👏👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧🍺🍺 You need Chris and Uncle John from Letsdig18, he’s on RUclips ( I’ve been watching him for about four years), he’s very good at building, building plots and excellent at making ponds , drains, driveways and walkways through woods, with his Skid-steer,Volvo 220E excavator. I think he’s from South Carolina. He might be near you, I believe he is very competitive with his job rates. Well done 😎😎🥰
Congratulations Adam and Abby! My wife and I are so happy for you! I can't wait for the video series to follow on this property. My wife likes "Abom Compound", but I like "Abom Acres". Still trying to understand why you engaged in leasing new shop space in addition to shop space on the 10 acres. Please further clarify in a future video update. Again, very excited for you both!
We put a trail camera in at our property and it was the best thing. We picked a spot with a lot of tracks and we get a ton of deer pictures and raccoons and stuff. It is a lot of fun.
Get a decent size skid steer, you will thank me. The wide variety of attachments covers just about anything you will want or need to do. Including brushcutters, backhoes, forks, etc. Trust me, once you have one, you'll never be without one.
Thats going to have so much potential.... Great choice Adam!... you can make deeper pools in the creek...Dang there's a lot of work to do.... I'm just about excited as Abby is LOL... Cheers Blessings Eh!
Turtle SOUP....and BBQ...down by the creek....snake boots and DEET ... NICE TURF...GOOD FLORA ....HOPE IT ISN'T IN HURRICANE ALLEY....GOOD LUCK WITH THE HOUSE...
Congratulations to you both. Your excitement is infectious and will patiently wait to see what comes next. No advice just a piece of wisdom learned along the way nothing ever happens in the time predicted double it and add 20%.
Awesome! One thing I'll say is that 10 acres sounds big until someone buys 10 or 20 right next to you and doesn't share your love of quiet. Do what you can to put your buildings as near to the middle of the property as possible. Good luck with everything!
Eastern box turtles have strict territories and never choose floody land. Golden garden spiders are very docile and harmless to people. Wow, your creek is awesome.
Hi from the UK. All i can say to you is WOW. You have a fantastic journey ahead of you. I hope it all goes into video's for us to see it progress. The best of luck.
Dude, I had a smile on my face from ear to ear seeing how excited you and Abby are! My wife is in the bathroom doing her hair and chimed in and said, “whoever you’re watching, they sound so sweet.” She’s not wrong! Y’all are awesome. Congratulations! Couldn’t have happened to better people. Cheers!
Congratulations to both of you guys! So glad to see you found a piece of land that you like. That stream is crystal clear! Good luck in your new adventure!
Wonderful! And the advice to you has already started! Let me join in. As a Forest Ranger, that looks quite burnable to me. May I suggest you get a local Ranger to advise you on fire prevention and defense measures you can take. The skid steer muncher is a good start.
I am really happy for both of you!! The hard work and the patience was worth it, I can't wait to see how it all turns out!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and take care!!
I don't know that I have ever seen two happier people. You have quite the adventure ahead of you both. It will be fun to watch your progress. (Just keep a close watch on those mean spiders).
Congrats guys. Lots of fun work ahead. You might even be able to get building materials sponsored if you make a video series about it. I have followed the Essential Craftsman house build and also Matt Risinger building his own house. There’s a lot of awesome things you can do to make a new house very efficient, comfortable and nice looking these days.
Good for you guys!! Now you need to get yourself a bandsaw mill and start selectively clearing some of those tall straight pines. That new shop could be a timber frame masterpiece ;-) Again, congrats and all the best!
Since it's Florida all I can think of is building a concrete home. Maybe even ICF (insulated concrete form) building. Termites can't eat concrete. You can make them where they don't look like concrete. Some hurricane proof homes even have concrete roofs I believe.
You don't cut it all down, you selectively clean out the good timbers so that the woods can continue to grow and be healthy. There's nothing wrong with that.
Woohoo! So happy for you two! This is one of my dreams as well. To do exactly as you guys are. Congrats on the first milestone.Now if we could only get Andrew Camarata and his machines down there to prep the property.
14:36 That’s a female Golden Silk Orb Weaver. When the sun shines on their webs, the silk looks yellow, hence the name. Edit: 14:53 You can see the yellow color briefly.
Thats good news to hear Happy for you. I will suggest you get some water samples from that creek and have it tested before you decide to play in it. Safety first!!
Make sure you put the shop and house and the Highest Ground. When you’re just walking through the woods, pick up a stick a few feet long to clear away the spider webs.
Congrats on the property purchase, now the hard work starts. Where to put the house and the orientation, E, W, N, S, the route of the driveway, how lawn to have with rest natural. Have fun guys, it's a once in a lifetime experience. My biggest worry is that with the new shop space and this property and the maintenance on you existing place that you aren't over extending yourselves. You also have the responsibility of maintaining a free unobstructed flow of that creek to preclude flooding.
First building I would suggest is an open style carport to park the Kodiak under so you have a base of operations. You can incorporate it into your house plans & protect the trailer from the elements.
Those Turtles are actually Gopher Tortoises that love sandy habitats, they are a keystone species. Fantastic to have them thriving on your property. What a gift. Congratulations to both of you.
Congratulations Adam and Abby! My wife and I bought 10 acres of Texas 3 years ago...it is such a blessing to be in the country! My neighbor has 30 head of longhorns...it's so peaceful to watch the cows and calves...and the stars at night look like metalflake paint. We've built a big shop and are planning on build an apartment in it to live in while we build our house...I'm sure you will love your new place..it's tons of work but the rewards will be reaped far into the future!
Turtle symbolism and meaning includes longevity, perseverance, steadfastness, protection, retreat, healing, tranquility, the Earth, and transformation. ... In addition, the turtle spirit animal is an important figure to many people around the world who feel a kinship with turtles as well as sea turtles
Adam and Abby welcome to the neighborhood. We're just up the street and have had to clear our lot down by the creeks. Come by sometime and we can give you some ideas and several referrals. We're the house with the solar panels on your way down the street. Hopefully you'll love this neighborhood as much as we do.
We closed on about 7 acres right before the pandemic hit. We love it. So much to do but I can't wait to really start working on it (we've done some but much more to do!). Grats on the land! Have fun and stay safe out there!
Looks awesome. Make sure you leave a bit of your property wild. Fallen trees and underbrush provide protection and food for the smaller animals. But i understand the need to clear up the undergrowth for your enjoyment and protection from fires etc. Good going guys, looking forward to seeing what you do with the place.
Looked like american box turtles. They make great pets. My mom has had one sneaking around her house for 20 years. The males you can tell because they have red eyes. They tend to migrate in the spring of the year. People on the roads just make sport of running them over. I've stopped in the middle of the highway to rescue a few. Just plain gentle creatures, they're pretty cool. Snappers now, those feisty buggers are a different story lol.
Hey my freind .I'm new to your channel but I'm enjoying what I have watched. Congrats on being landowners! I did the same thing 4 years ago and I've never been happier and I'm sure you and your family will feel the same . Thank you for the projects and education . Take care .
Yo disfruto de su trabajo de metalistería viendo los videos, desde Colombia, y me alegro de que hayan adquirido tan hermosa propiedad. El disfrute es complemento de su arduo trabajo.
You have purchased a truly magnificent property the best of luck developing it I wil follow your adventure, with great enthusiasm so please keep us viewers in formed
Beautiful. That environment was my back yard when I was about ten years old. We'd find a three foot slender twig with a curve to it's tip - the Spider Stick: hold it front with the tip pointing up like a ship's bow and move it gently left and right and you'll take care of any webs. You don't need to take a tool just to walk around :)
Keith has cats, Steve has squirrels Adam will have turtles. Beautiful property.
🤣🤣🤣🥰👍🇬🇧
Adam appears to have more spiders than he would like.😜
And 'Letsdig18' had got the skill and kit to do driveway, pad and pond the creek a bit. With 'Out of the Woods' and 'Bus Grease Monkey' plus many more to advise along the way! 👍😄😎🇬🇧
The 7 thumbs down were those who didn't get the winning bid..... Great for you two! This is awesome! I am probably speaking for many to tell you I humbled that you chose to share your joy with us.
first thing I would do after a driveway is an rv pad to be able to spend the night on the new property lol.
It's really hard to tell that your wife is excited. You will love living in the country. There's nothing better than the stars at night and the only sound is the bugs. Congratulations.

Absolutely!
Adam, the property looks awesome! A great mix of oaks, magnolia's and long leaf pine. We look forward to working with you on this project.
Thank you. We're excited to get started on this! looking forward to working with you to see what all we can do.

I was going to say the first instalment of "Abom Acres", but Abbie beat me to it. It's cool that the Turtles came to say congratulations and welcome.

He do a fantastic job putting in the driveway and building site.
And he can build you a pond too!
Or Dirt Perfect :-)
Or Andrew Camarata.
@@djamelhamdia134 not Andrew! I like his energy, but he's not professional enough for proper bulding.
Congratulations on your new property. Now your can get your barndominium .
I love how you can immediately tell how excited Abby is, I'm super happy for your family Adam! Owning your own 10 acres must really feel great.
Get a decent size skid steer, you will thank me. The wide variety of attachments covers just about anything you will want or need to do. Including brushcutters, backhoes, forks, etc. Trust me, once you have one, you'll never be without one.

Congratulations to you both. Your excitement is infectious and will patiently wait to see what comes next. No advice just a piece of wisdom learned along the way nothing ever happens in the time predicted double it and add 20%.
Now you can build a nice 50,000 square feet shop for everything~~~~~ Cheers and Wish you much Happiness .....
Awesome! One thing I'll say is that 10 acres sounds big until someone buys 10 or 20 right next to you and doesn't share your love of quiet. Do what you can to put your buildings as near to the middle of the property as possible.
Good luck with everything!
Awesome. ‘Mercian dream, live it!
Congratulations glad to hear that you guys are having so much great things coming your way
Significance of fish in creek means the creek never goes dry. If you do get a skid steer, make sure it has tracks. Tires will bury in the sand.
Congratulations! Can't wait for the home and shop video series!
Eastern box turtles have strict territories and never choose floody land. Golden garden spiders are very docile and harmless to people. Wow, your creek is awesome.
I love how excited Abby is! Now, I just have three words of advice for y'all: Water Powered Shaper.
Hi from the UK. All i can say to you is WOW. You have a fantastic journey ahead of you. I hope it all goes into video's for us to see it progress. The best of luck.

Cheers Eric
Congratulations to both of you guys! So glad to see you found a piece of land that you like. That stream is crystal clear! Good luck in your new adventure!
Major congratulations, y'all. Owning property is THE best place to put your capital! Have fun!

Did you check to see if the property will pass a PERC test? Really important!
You probably already checked into it but just reminding you if you haven't.
The palmettos remind me of when I was a kid living in Florida in the 1950s.
I am really happy for both of you!! The hard work and the patience was worth it, I can't wait to see how it all turns out!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and take care!!
I don't know that I have ever seen two happier people. You have quite the adventure ahead of you both. It will be fun to watch your progress. (Just keep a close watch on those mean spiders).
Congratulations, it will be exciting to follow your development of the property 10 acres with a stream, as far as I can see it is virgin land
Always awesome when good things happen to good people.

Mmm, start making Moonshine :-). Good luck with your new homestead.
Yay congrats! Damn, Andrew Camarata is not down there to mow your land.
I would immediately put up fencing to keep people out. For privacy reasons. Congratulations guys!
Good for you guys!! Now you need to get yourself a bandsaw mill and start selectively clearing some of those tall straight pines. That new shop could be a timber frame masterpiece ;-) Again, congrats and all the best!

@@The_Osprey ICF makes the most sense due to hurricanes.
American buys a plot of land with trees. First thought: “let’s get a bandsaw mill”…..
It's sooo beautiful.....let's cut it down!
You don't cut it all down, you selectively clean out the good timbers so that the woods can continue to grow and be healthy. There's nothing wrong with that.
Just found your channel and been catching up mostly focusing on the "new" shop now. Great property. Congratulations to you and your wife.
Woohoo! So happy for you two! This is one of my dreams as well. To do exactly as you guys are. Congrats on the first milestone.Now if we could only get Andrew Camarata and his machines down there to prep the property.
Abby has some sharp eyes! Congrats on your land purchase.
This all looks great, Adam. I'm happy for you, and look forward to years of vicarious enjoyment as you develop it. And Water Power, too!
