I would park all of the equipment further inside the building and move the camper into the 12 foot door section. That way it's protected from the elements and keeps it cooler (I mean, you ARE in Texas 🙂). Other than that, all I can say is DAMN, I'm jealous. This is almost exactly what I hope to have. I just want more trees (and less neighbors).
It was so sad to watch 50 some odd trees die right after purchasing it! They went through 2 brutal winters, and a horrible drought last summer, along with root rot from sitting in water. They had no chance...but I too love trees and wish we had more, hate seeing them go. But yes. More tree, less neighbors. I learned, at least in my place the same neighbor "issues" follow, they are just more spread out lol. Hell you have have 100 acres and still have those neighbors that complain lol. Luckily people who typically live out here do so to keep to themselves. The camper is toast...its only 4 years old and looks 20 years old from sun damage. That large pad on the side of the end of the building is for the camper, and has plates in the concrete to weld a cover on it in the future. We just needed to "stop" somewhere or your budget will snowball.
I appreciate that! Im trying to build it as money allows, which for most is really hard, we are very fortunate, but it will take time! Likely another year before anything inside is built out.
FYI.....34:29 Weed killer is good if you want to cause a stinky fish kill in the pond. It will deplete the water of oxygen. Why not try stocking the pond with tilapia or carp. You can eat the tilapia and use carp as bait for big catfish.🤠👍 A few Billy goats chained up in strategic areas around the pond will devour all vegetation in days.
Oh yeah. I have no intention on putting any chemicals in that pont unless its 100% safe. We have the ducks and all kinds of wildlife I care for ;) The goats! lol that would do it. This new weed just started this year with all the rains, looks pretty and most likely with this heat hitting, it will start to slow down its growth. Thats interesting about carp and tilapia, I didnt know they were pond week killers.
Yessir. I likely have a few for sure. I have an electrician I'm working with on the meter base termination and wiring the shop out, we'll see if he works out. Are you in the area by chance? I will need help eventually speccing out the minisplit size and head quantity, likely two heads for 600sq ft, but tall ceiling 18ft.
No, its clear from all the rain. Essentially the pond has 4-5ft or fresh water. Its about 10-12 ft in the center. It will get green as the summer get hotter, but I have yet to aerate it, but would be nice, once we get power out there.
I like it...it has an issue where it likes to pop out of gear. Might need to take it in, but the decision was for simplicity and durability....plus only tractors I've even been on were older non-hydrostatic ones. The John Deere 3025 hydrostatic (3025E I think) has an aluminum housing for trans and I think axle, so its a little lighter, but not stronger. The 3025D is all cast steel like a more traditional tractor. That and if something needs fixed hydrostatic is a bit more $$$ too. So nothing wrong it, I just dont mind shifting, and chose the simplicity factor.
Congrats Brother, that looks like a Great setup. I'm glad to see somebody is thriving in this wonderful economy Brandon has created for us all. Can't wait to see it finished.
Not thriving at all. Luckily all this was setup pre brandon. This shop would be half what we paid if Brandonomics wasn’t at play. And why likely we can’t build it out until next few years. Might be a shell for a while. I didn’t get deep into money or funds…maybe I will one day. But it looks better from the outside looking in. Truth is we are scraping by. Biden needs to go. MAGA!
@@Iceberg303 Huh? lol Yeah we bought this 2 years. Yes I didnt tell anyone but close family. Biden has royaly F'd this economy and country. We would be in a much different place right now! No funds are freed up. Were scraping by. This building was build by stock sales not income. Again...maybe one day I'll get into detail.
Love the new place. Looks like paradise.
To me it certainly is, to some it might not be lol
Man liked everything. 😊
Im happy for you and your family, Mike. Very nice place to live and enjoy life. 👈💯
I appreciate that. Everyone is so positive here on the channel. Like one big family!
Congrats brother!! Looks great!!! Awesome job!!!
Congrats! I'm jealous. Looks killer.

@@HOUSEOFDULA I guess you don't fish much Dula. Yeah, tilapia and carp eat algae, grass and aquatic plants.
@@4eyefoxbodyfanclub625 NOPE! Not a huge fisherman. Like it, but never got really big into it.
Good for you Sir Nice setup !
Keep the updates coming
Will do!
La Casa de mi Dula!.....Time to buy a straw hat, you are living the dream 🤠🍻
Congratulations!!
Thank you!
I'm excited for you Mike!!! Good stuff!!!!!!!!!
Living my dream...wish you luck with everything
Congrats man, that is so awesome!
Thank you!
This is awesome congratulations
Congrats Mike!! I’m a hvac contractor and licensed electrician so if you have any questions just ask.
Yessir. I likely have a few for sure. I have an electrician I'm working with on the meter base termination and wiring the shop out, we'll see if he works out. Are you in the area by chance?

@@HOUSEOFDULA I’m not but I can help spec things out. Splits are super simple to install.
Congratulations on the property
Thank you sir!
If you're going to be hanging out in Mineralwells, that will make it that much easier to come down for the Chili Bowl Cookoff.
In Buffalo Gap??
Yes sir.
The Farm of Dula
HA, I like that. Oddly, didn't even cross my mind!
@@HOUSEOFDULA Nothing wrong with keeping it simple. FARMOFDULA!
Hey Mike, very nice piece of land! I love the trees and the pond. Do you need to airate the pond? Looks nice and clear. How deep is it ?
No, its clear from all the rain. Essentially the pond has 4-5ft or fresh water. Its about 10-12 ft in the center. It will get green as the summer get hotter, but I have yet to aerate it, but would be nice, once we get power out there.
I see alot of these going up in texas..unfortunately I want one on the Guadalupe river..$$$$😅😅😅
Oh man, thats prime property! love that area. Floated that river many of times.
Love it! How do you like the manual transmission? What was your decision point on that over the hydrostatic transmission
I like it...it has an issue where it likes to pop out of gear. Might need to take it in, but the decision was for simplicity and durability....plus only tractors I've even been on were older non-hydrostatic ones. The John Deere 3025 hydrostatic (3025E I think) has an aluminum housing for trans and I think axle, so its a little lighter, but not stronger.

@@HOUSEOFDULA Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!! Greatly appreciate! Thanks for all your videos!!
...and someone said Bidens economy was bad. Lol.

@@HOUSEOFDULAmust've made a pretty nice profit off those stock sales? Guess they were up. Say what you want, but MY 401K looks damn good.😐
