    We've looked at property that had multiple abandoned mobile homes and several huge trash piles on it that would require thousands to remove and dispose of properly. We totally understand how that should all factor into the asking price for the property. It's a lot of work and money to remove all that and dispose of legally.

    we tore down a single wide trailer on our farm. You did it the right way. It took us pretty much an entire summer of our free time to take off the aluminum, all the paneling and insulation and then cut up the frame into pieces to haul away. Rented a cut saw to cut the frame. cost me 204 bucks. we got 195 dollars in scrap. So, lost 9 bucks on that clean up. I enjoy your channel because I thought I had a similar situation where we live.... a farm that had lots of clean up to do. But, after this video, I see I was lucky. haha. I give you sooo much credit because I know what it is like to do just 50 percent of what you have done. Keep up the good work.

    Yeah Evan. You and Rebekah brought hillbilly heaven. You would had to have paid me to buy it at my age. 20 years younger I might have bit my tongue and cussed along before I handed over that check. But all in all the correct new overlords of the property moved in. Mine I got, I looked long time, but did take a 2 week camping trip on place to see exactly what all I purchased. Enjoyed boyscouting for those 17 days.

Now, the last building is gone, and you can breathe a sigh of relief. Just a little longer, and you can get a new car. I am so glad we got to witness 1 of the buildings being removed. Have a great weekend!

    I bought 40 acres similar to yours. There were piles of trash all over. I also had tons of tires to haul off. The EPA had a tire drive and I took them to that. The EPA guy started to lecture me on hoarding tires. I stopped him right there and explain the situation. There was old cars and farm equipment everywhere. Looked a lot like yours. My wife said we were the only ones fool enough to buy it. I feel your pain. Good job.

    Taking over country properties is harder than many think. My wife and I took over her mother's property. Old barn, old mink sheds, a couple of old cars, and several just piles of junk from multiple owners. We also had acres of fields overgrown with willow brush. The work we are doing is why I started my RUclips channel. Keeping my kids up to date.

    Can you install a locking gate at the entrance to prevent trash being dumped on your property. I'm still a bit confused where that area is in perspective to your house? Perhaps you can post some drone footage. And finally, is the only way to reach that property via the old road? This video was fun to watch. 👍👍👍

    In our area of west Tennessee when a building gets that dilapidated they generally just set it on fire and clean up what's left. That saves on the hauling and dump fees and gives the volunteers fire station something to do.
