Cannot explain to you how fun it is to be back working on the property! I can't decide if that's more exciting or the fact that the shipping container will be out of our immediate backyard soon! Hope you enjoy this week's video :)
You have a lot of land there, and you are working hard to get it the way you want it. That is a wonderful thing for two people who are still young. Keep up the good work, keep safe, and I wish you both good health.

We've had really good luck with plastic wedges when it comes to eliminating back pressure. No expert here, just someone who has cut big tree's on a property we own.
Lots more good work going on there. I'm looking forward to watching the container move and what the setup looks like. Also, just curious what you guys do with all the brush and debris, do you haul off or burn
Molly, how many times did it take Dillon to say Harbor Freight chainsaw chain sharpener. Would (excuse the pun) we by any chance be seeing a scarf joint or two?
I'm really psyched-up to see this project come together. I do think that eventually you will bite the bullet and run power to your shop. Just saying . . .
Love y'all's videos. While that electric cooler is a "cool" idea (see what I did there?), at $500...I'd have had to buy a LOT of ice to make that worth it. That'd be well over 100 bags of ice. And I'm not sure I've bought that many in my entire life.
Yea definitely not for everyone, but someone like a full time camper, landscaper or contractor who uses ice daily would love one of these. The biggest plus for me is it’s ability to be a freezer and it’s ability to store lots of food without getting wet. Awesome for camping and road trips.
I am a little confused on this whole thing you are doing. I see you coming out of that beautiful house. That is extremely nice and then I see you grubbing outside. So which is the real thing? That's my point, which is the real thing. Trying to Homestead outside or living in this big, nice, fancy house.
You should watch some of their other videos and it will see it is just how they live, inside and outside, plus you can not take a saw mill into the front room (sorry Dillon)
What? They're trying to move their shipping container to a further piece of the property to set up their mobile sawmill. This was a prep video for that move.
I’m not sure how a nice house makes someone not able to also enjoy the outdoors and doing “homesteading”. I also think it may appear that we have some crazy expensive house, but the reality is we live in one of the lowest income states in the country and real estate is “cheap”. We also moved away from town to be able to afford what we have.
If you own a saw mill and cut down trees, you have to live with dirt floors and only talk in cave man speak, ooga booga, lean to porch, ooga booga *hits shipping container with stick*

you should seal the ends of the logs. prevents checking.

Thanks so much!
That looks like a lot of fun!
So much fun!! Anything where we can be outside, especially in the coming months, we are down for🤗

Great video can’t wait to see it when it’s finished
Thanks!
Good job guys. Keep being safe

Yup! We ordered some probably 2 years ago and ever since we cut down our first “batch” of trees, we can’t find them😅 Need to order more though!

Us too! We plan to burn it, but it’s all in many many piles right now😅
Have you guys thought of putting weed mats and gravel down before the sawmill so it doesn’t get overgrown like last time.
Yep! We mostly likely will when we move everything!

Haha he got it first try, but I could not have🤣

We will most likely just have a big battery. We don’t plan on running many plugged in things back here
Is that Molly in charge of the drone footage?
Yup😁

@@Woodbrew - Well, like I said...it is certainly a nifty device. I just dunno if it is $500 worth of nifty. If it is to some folks, then great!

Can’t one do both?

You really, really, really need to talk to somebody. You're gonna get yourself hurt or killed.
