I love how humble you are. Most people want a big house they can't afford. You don't want a house you want a home ❤️
What truly sets her apart - with god and family as your highest priorities, you can do no wrong ❤
(It’s a saying obviously you can still do wrong)

I’m a home designer. During a new build, right as the framing was almost complete a bald eagle decided to nest in the rafters. The construction immediately stopped. We had to wait for the eggs to hatch and the babies had to learn how to fly. Once they were off to do whatever bald eagles do, we had to get permission to complete from the environmental agency. They said that we had two weeks to complete the exterior, because the eagles will return to the same place to nest.
We got it done. But, I’ll never forget going to check a bald eagle’s nest every day for three months 😂
Yikes! I’ve never heard of this before or with Christina. I wonder if the eagle would nest somewhere else close by if she couldn’t go back to her original spot
@@elexis3728 The house is a lakefront in the mountains of western Maryland. There are tons of trees for them to choose, and she will likely come back, get all mad, and ask for a manager. Then she will likely pick a beautiful tree that happens to be over the walkway to the lake in the back yard, so she can poop all over the walkway 😂
An eagle is smarter than we think, and is an arrogant, beautiful creature.
I’ve walked into a home built with an owl on the framing of the fireplace. Scared the beejus out of me and just stared into my soul. I said, “Sorry Mr Owl, didn’t mean to intrude” and get the heck outta there. He just said “who” repeatedly while I ran out. I went back to my office and declared that the initial walk through can wait 😂
I’ve walked in on a black bear in the basement 😳
These animals are wild!
@@stacyjane8014 your reply was so cute!
@@elexis3728 oh, thank you!
My grandpa built a entire house by himself! It was a small 2-bedroom house but still he built it by himself! I remember going to see him, he was alone building! In entire house. I will respect him forever for that!
My husband’s grandpa did also. He had passed, but grandma still lives there ❤
I’m genuinely just so happy for Christina! Truly deserving. She’s authentic, transparent and pure. She hasn’t lost herself along the way, which I notice happens often with many RUclipsrs.
She has come such a long way and truly inspires me 🥹❤❤
Omg my 9 year old son is OBSESSED with dinosaurs and has been since he was like 2. He would be so excited if we could have dinosaur bones on our property 😂
We have 13 acres that we bought in 2015 and moved a trailer on a year or so later. Now we’re finally planning to build our “forever home” within the next year!
Omgosh yayyyyyy that’s so exciting!!!!
Im sure something is on your land
Very happy for you Christina. You have come from so far. You should be so proud. That little girl, she made it and then some. Even dinosaurs couldn't stop her. 🧡
Love this! So true! ❤
Awe, you said it Moontan!!! 🦖🏡
Yes!!
I'm creek from north Florida. That is my tribe. We tried to make the panhandle the state of mvskoke and the US invaded. A lot of that land in the panhandle was stollen from us and a lot of our families even only a few generations ago(my great grandmother's sister) were forcibly removed from there. Often to be murdered in residential schools. Those schools were only outlawed in 1989. Often the tribe will come in and excavate if let happen and remove and relocate artefacts. I know that the band of the tribe in Atmore which would have rights over your land and the tribe a lot of my family is from frequently does this. We just want to preserve our history and families. 😢
YES THIS- she is acting like it’s such an inconvenience and completely disregarding the indigenous history of the land…. How do you think we felt as people native to the land?!
I am 54 years old and I have never heard of such a thing. I sure pray for smooth sailing for y’all here on out. Thank you for keeping us posted. We love your stories!❤
We built our home from ground up. I understand the stress level for sure! It was five years total from vision to finish. 2 yrs of building ! I pray it goes smoothly for you guys from now on.
This is definitely a story of " IF anything can happen, it's gonna happen to me". That is crazy how they allowed you to dig up the ground for the wells you put in. That's the really confusing part. But I can definitely say, I've never heard of anything like this happening before. It's gotta be very stressful. Hopefully it all works out for you in the end. I can't wait to see the end result once the house is finished. It's certainly gonna be a memorable family experience for all of you. 😊❤🤞🙏
Omg of all the things to happen!! Thank God it's turned out for the best.
I was thinking this the whole time, this would be my luck!
The Well thing,might have depended on the size pipe. I think you only need a permit for a well in florida, is if its bigger than a couple inches. I could be wrong though. Its just a guess from me, living in florida all my life. My Step dad was creek indian. I heard him mention similar things. Where some his friends couldn't build on the property because of tribal land. Definitely a crappy situation for the land owner.
I understand every bit of this! This happened to me, except the way they “settled” the digging problem and just said as a compromise you can build a house but it has to be slab on grade…meaning the bottom level has to sit 12 inches above the grade level. We lost sooooo much money and time. We walked away as it was too much. I stopped looking for houses cause I was so depressed. We ended up finding a better lot with an amazing view a year later. This was 15 years ago. Now, there is a freaking freeway 2 houses from this old lot. Man, I am grateful it worked out how it did. I was honestly mad at God for a bit but I also had faith that what was coming was better. It stang but was true. Congrats on the move forward till next hiccup! Lol
Whew!!! I’m so glad you found the property you love 🥹💙
@@casuallychristina636 thanks Christina but I literally thank God. This was in 2007 when prices were at the very tip top. I was looking and I remember driving by thinking to myself….that is the perfect lot. However it was double our price range. Between that time and the time the original lot fell through things had shifted and I happened upon our lot but now it was in our range. 😀😀
BTW….I am so excited for you and your family! God is taken care of you one hiccup at a time!
Look into having the land blessed. I am so happy for you!

Christina,
You really have a gift of storytelling. Your videos are always like just chatting with your best friend, but the content of you just telling your own stories about things are the best! My favorite is when you say, "Ya'llllllll when I tell YOU!" Here comes the tea! :) Love you!
I bet your youngest son thought the thought of Dino’s and artifacts was SOOOO cool 😂 Soooo glad it worked out for y’all
I live in a small town in Missouri. In 2008 someone was excavating down the road from us to make a pond and found a small mastodon skeleton. My kids wanted to dig up our yard too lol.
@@raimeyewens7518 that’s awesome! I’m in Lee’s Summit. Where are you?
@@loriloo1039 very close. Grain Valley
I’ve heard this from everyone that has built their home it’s so stressful my parents 35 years ago when they did it said it was awful they just wanted to give up picking out every little detail for the inside. It’s a lot I don’t think it’s something I ever would do. I couldn’t handle it
@Christina Randall, hi there a couple of cheap ideas about the house you are going with:
1. Get a side by side with a winch dont waste money on a golf cart that will get stuck.
2. Sounds like you have a 2 storey house. Have them build the garage to match up with the house. I say this because its super cheap to build up, then it is to go wider.
Also the second storey in the garage would make room for your gym, xmas decore, or whatever you guys may have.
3. Ask for higher ceilings. I know it sounds silly but by asking for higher ceilings you can add more cupboards, more cupboards in the kitchen and the pantry. Im talking 3 ft higher just enough for a second set of cabinets. You can even have them set a second set of cabinets in the garage, above the first set for more pantry space.
Also by doing this in a house, you can have privacy windows, what i mean is the windows in certain areas may be a higher so pple cant see in but you still get all that natural sun light.
4. Also this will increase your floor plan on the main floor of your garage. Id also put in huge garage doors atleast 1 maybe 2. You never know future wise if an rv or truck may not fit in the smaller bays. Why do things twice. Plus Jeremy may want a little bay to himself to work on cars, bikes etc until you can get a shop or pole barn built for him.
5. Look at Brad the builders youtube channel. Heck reach out to him and tell him Ryan sent you. Hes got some excellent ideas that wont break the bank. And he LOVES pantries and may even be able to find a way to sneak yours back in there for you. He also loves pole barns etc for tinkering.
6. Dont forget, getting a bigger property, that you will definitely need more equipment, like these for instance, a side by side, atvs, riding lawn mower, stuff for hurricaneseason etc. You may eventually want a boat or rv for camping and water days.
7. Just remember building up is always cheaper then building outwards. You can always build a pole barn for all the toys and shop for the bigger stuff.
8. A studio and office just for you with extra insulationing that sound deadens. This could even go above the garage on that second floor i was talking about, and if its near a water pipe you could even put a powder room there for pretty cheap.
9. You may also want to make sure you are clear from all trees hitting your home, but also from their roots getting in your plumbing. Also drainage, you may want to put drainage all the way around your house that way it stands the best chance in a flood/hurticane.
10. Also you may want to think about an extra room. I say this because we all have family members who age and their partners pass away and they just cant be alone due to sadness or just medical issues. I strongly urge door ways wide enough for wheelchairs/walkers and bathrooms and other common areas having wide doorways or open floor plans.
Enjoy the small things in life, the things that dont cost money like friends and family and making memories. Those are what truly matters.
I love your channel and love what you are about, thank you for just keeping things real and being yourself. Always remember to love yourself, its not selfish or wrong, but loving yourself and who you are, enables you to be there for everyone you choose to love you. Dont let anyone get that twisted lol.
Keep up the fantastic and hard work and check out brads youtube channel hes got a lot of tips for building. Take care and I'll catch you on your next video.
I'm so excited for you!! I'm in a similar "happy new home" kinda mood, but for a different reason- we just got confirmation that our 3 bedroom military housing home is available, after being in an 1,100 sq ft apartment with 2 kids and 4 pets for 5 months! 🥳
It took us 2 years to find our ranch. We looked at around 30 in our budget. We found a great home on 22 acres in 2018. Granted, we dumped in a ton of $ on repairs and upgrades, but was so worth it! Congrats to you guys!
Dang, this almost turned into Casually Jurassic. Great Story.
So happy that you’ve had the go ahead to build your dream home, nobody deserve it more than you xx
Always love a video from you!! I might have said it on the previous video but more people should be smart when buying/building and not thinking about what they can afford right now BUT what they can afford or want to spend over the course of their life. Property taxes have tripled in my area (right outside of Charlotte NC) within the past few years and that’s a huge factor in home expenses that will affect you every single year. Couldn’t love you and the message you send more!! At the end of the day, you’ll have a nice roof over your head and family to share it with but I know this process has been hard. We also planned to build on family land but ended up buying a house instead. Maybe one day 😊
It took us a few years to find the property we loved. It wasn’t all the acres we wanted but is in the country and we love it. Went with a custom builder and designed our forever home. We had to go a little smaller and didn’t add all the fancy things but made sure we put the most expensive items like wood floors/tile, granite and high (ada) toilets!! Metal roof is a must in Florida!! The information in your property needed to be disclosed before purchase. Best of luck. It will be worth it in the long run!!
Oh! I would’ve been “wait a minute, no way! I’m taking y’all to court on this!” So excited for you all!!
May God continue to bless you and you entire family!! May God continue covering this entire process and new home! In Jesus name!
🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Loool glad there wasn't a prehistoric museum in the ground!
Looks like a beauty property! Congratulations Christina! 🥳
Finally. So glad and happy you all got everything figured out. God's timing is always perfect. Keep praying and stay faithful to God. Can't wait for the tour. Love you so much girl.
@Christina Randall, I totally know your stress and anxiety of home building!! Many times we were ready to throw in the towel and walk. One day you will chuckle and be so happy you stuck it out
Praying for you and your family,,God got this,I believe that 🙏
Honestly, these types of things happen all of the time with land. Someone’s great great grandpa could have written deed restrictions that are bizarre as hell, but they aren’t removable. It’s up to the buyer to do their due diligence by contacting the county to reveal everything about the land. I’ve always felt it is a really rocky experience buying land, specifically, for these reasons. A lot of people buy land and then find out about the restrictions and ultimately give up and put it back on the market. I’m glad you stuck with it and were able to move forward with your dream home. Congrats!! I can’t wait to see the end result!
What a crazy story! I’m so happy it worked out and you’re on your way to getting your home. Congratulations and I wish you all the luck during the build and in the future! ❤❤
ur storytelling is always second to none!
GREAT story to go along with your forever home.
Just imagine telling “the stories behind our home build.”
Stressful now but will make for great memories in the future.
Just found your site but you appear to be such a lovely woman
filled with joy and brightness.
Wishing you a wonderful future with your family
I don't think there have ever been dinosaurs found in Florida. I am so happy you got through this.
Honestly that’s crazy interesting that that is the history of the land. Everything works out in time, just keep pushing
Congratulations on Finally being able to move forward with the building of your New Forever Home and Family Compound !!
Much love from my family to yours!
🙏❤️😘
That’s insane! 🦕🦖 So glad you got past it. Stay strong. 🙏🏻
so glad you guys got through "phase 1" 🥰. Hope you will do a whole video on the whole process when building starts, I know it's going to be a long wait but it's always interesting to see such beautiful event taking place and taking into form (the house 😉) . Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey with us and we love you too!🥰💜
Girl,
You got me shedding tears for you, but guess what? YOU'RE GLOWING 😂😂😂 Congrats that everything is back on track!! I'm super excited for your family ❤️❤️❤️!!
I CANNOT imagine the stress. omg. only you Christina. only you girl. lol. I'm so happy for you though! I've been watching you for years now and although I don't comment much, I've been silently rooting for you the whole time. You're inspiring, honestly. And you deserve the best life has to offer. Can't wait to watch you build your new home! I hope to do the same one day myself and it's great to see someone else with the same goal and motivation, succeeding!
❤❤ You deserve all the blessings that are coming your way. Love ya girl
You can never expect an exact time frame or budget for major renovations. This way when there are problems, you don’t get disappointed or frustrated. But ancient artifacts on your property is wiled 😅
Wow Christina! What a CRAY CRAY situation girl! I pray everything else goes smoothly sis!
This is my dream!!! I’m so happy and excited for y’all!!!! I can’t wait to see your dream home! I’m tuning in and waiting patiently!💛
watching videos completely out of order just saw an update on your house currently and I just wanted to say IM SO VERY HAPPY FOR YALL
Totally get what you are going through. We built our house 3 years ago and jumped through sooo many hoops and soooo many delays. Just stay positive.....this too shall pass
You are the sweetest! Praying everything is smooth sailing from here on out and you’ll be Christmas decorating in your new home next Christmas!
I loved how its all working out for you all. So happy for you and your family. 🥰
I did read somewhere that if you disrupt native grounds it could cause hauntings on your land.... Do a really good cleansing!
Can’t wait for that content! May God bless y’all through the rest of the process!
Off topic but I'm so glad you have your regular outro music here 😍 I really miss it from your main channel!
that's crazy! so glad it worked out though! We bought property with a house and just built a shop and barn, that was stressful enough with permits, hydro, water etc. I LOVE your property, the tree spacing is beautiful.
Omg that’s crazy!! I’m glad it all worked out for you Christina ♥️♥️ love you !!!
It’ll be so amazing when it’s done you all will appreciate it that much more❤️
I’ve been watching u for so long & I just love u. Ur just about the only RUclipsr I watch religiously. So proud of u. You inspire me 🥹❤️
Please please put more you and the grandma videos. So precious🥳🥳🥳
We had a lot of issues with our small 2acres. After we bought our land and we found out that it was in the "city" and the city didn't even know they owned our property. After all that we find out that 3/4 of it was residential and the other 1/4 was agricultural. So we had to have it all rezoned. Thennnnn come to find out that we were in a "100 year flood zone" so our home had to be 9ft off the ground. Mind you we had already bought our modular and had a delivery date set. I'll tell you. Sometimes when it rains it daggon pours. Good luck you you and yours on the home front.
Normally when I see videos like this I give a big eye roll like what an issue to be upset about right but since I know you've come from nothing I love watching this process from you because you've worked so hard to get here! Congrats Christina can't wait to watch the process!!
Thanks Rosie 🥺🙏🏻💙
You'd be happier if you weren't so quick to dismiss the struggles of others as "that's not that big a deal." It is though. To that person, at that time in their life, it's a challenge for them.think about what you want people to think when you feel upset enough to voice your own obstacles.
Back in 2006 we built our own home and I 💯 agree with you - it was one of the MOST stressful things I have ever done in my adult life.
Love how you tell your stories.
Thanks for sharing. Y’all are building! YAY!!!
Girl I feel your pain. We bought land and built a house on it 18 years ago and I was like never again. What a pain. We had to move where we were putting the house on 3 separate times. It took forever. I hope things go smoothly for you and your family. Goo luck.
I am so excited too! I’m excited to see the progress and for you to finally be in your home living out your dream!
I would never have believed this until hearing it from Christina! OMG! 🥰🙏
Christina, this is a sign!! The ground is holy!! It's a SIGN for you and your family
Wow girl talk about crazy news!!! That's def not something I would've even considered worrying about!!! 😬 I'm so happy it all worked out and will most definitely be keeping you and your family in my prayers!! ✌🏼💛🙏🏼
I totally understand Christina! We have been working on our house since 2021. I watched your latest video and can't believe how quickly they got you to drywall! We are our own contractor and it is so incredibly stressful, esp. working directly with contractors. Ugh!
Sorry to hear about your building “hiccup” but glad you’re clear to progress! I live in the panhandle too! 🌲🦴
I can't believe they didn't reveal all of the information to you before y'all
put in two wells and electricity! Oh my gosh! I built a house in 2002 and it was soooooo hard. I had that soil sample taken for the building of the house as well. I had to stay on top of the subcontractors because I caught them installing the bathroom tile on the kitchen floor! I am praying for you and please check on them regularly. Love y'all!
My husband & I just bought more property & are thinking about building so Thank You for such an informative video!!!! Lotta things to keep in mind! God Bless you & yours!
❤❤❤
I can’t wait to see the foundation be poured!!!
AGREED! We just moved into our house back in September after building it last year. We went through four builders before we actually decided on someone. Then it was during covid so there were supply issues and everything was so expensive. 30 feet of conduit for our electrical lines was just under $1,000! This was also after our county told us we couldn't build a certain size home and have another home for my in-laws. So be sure you can have your home there and your in-law's home there. Our county had restrictions on their size home and our size home.
I totally understand. I live about 200 yds from my mom. It’s nice. We’re out enough to not be in town so it feels secluded. Praying it happens for y’all.
Girl, I agree. We bought land 7 years ago and it has just be sitting waiting forus to build. My husband job at the time required us to move around. Rigjt now we are saving up money to make it happen. Land was paid off over a year ago but just have to save now. Also land prices are insane. Thankfully we bought when we did. We have land in the TN mountains. 55.5 acres we paid 80,000. Has a creek, a well half forest half pasture land. In the country. We love it!
Make sure you get a schedule with estimated durations for each step before they start!
Oh my goodness my heart was racing while you were telling the story!!!! Thank God it had a happy ending!!!! That’s insane!!!! So happy for you Christina! May God give you the strength, the provisions and open doors to fulfill your dream! You deserve it!!!! ❤
Christina!!!!!!!! I do this for a living (the last 9 years) and this is INSANE! Im so glad y’all got clearance. The ground work you guys did was the most expensive stuff you have to do. Im soooooo happy you guys are able to move forward, that would have been awful! Permit offices are going to be the death of me. As sad as it is I’ve had clients in the same boat as y’all. Well let me say never w 🦖 🤣. Excited to follow along on your journey💜💜💜
Wildest story ever!! So happy it worked out for your family!
I'm an archaeologist here in Florida. Usually when there is a site the government will pay you through a cultural resource management company. The CRM company will go out and dig and clear it.
Christina, good luck to you and your family 👪 🏠
Sooo happy it worked out in the end ❤️❤️❤️ I hope everything else goes smoothly for you guys!!! 🫶
Thank goodness girl!! You earned this win❤️❤️❤️ Love you so much! God bless you and your family on this wonderful adventure 🤗🥳
I was JUST thinking about yalls house updates the other day!! Like you always say- The Lord’s timing is the best timing! And I’ve really loved following this bc I never thought about the property taxes forever!!!
Never clicked so fast!! I’m coming to Florida soon for my sons 5th birthday ransom but we’re going to Legoland any recommendations?! Love you!!!
Praying for your mental and physical health for your family building a HOME is SO STRESSFUL
My husband and I have the same goals. We want to have property where our parents can move on so we can care for them when needed. We searched and searched and couldn't find anything in our price range. Our friends decided they wanted to build a house and said they would sell us theirs! They just signed a contract to start building so we should be moved in within a year. And the plus side of this house is a 5 bedroom house, we have 4 kids! And there's already a platform for a trailer with water and electricity hooked up for one of our parents! And land with the option of possibly buying more land in the future!
I'm so happy for you and your family that everything is working out in your favor for your forever home! What a beautiful blessing! ❤️🙏
I just found your casual channel... so exciting to see you out in the World with your Family! LOVE IT 🐞
That I have to say is a new one.
I’m glad it all worked out. You and your family deserve the best! Congratulations!🎉
Yes Christina I feel you! My parents are in Port Saint Lucie, Florida and they have told me about all the permits you have to have in Florida. You have to have a permit for a front door, a fence, a hot tub, pool..you name it. NOTHING like where my parents moved from here in Tennessee where I still reside. I’m so glad you got it approved and the train is back on the track so to speak. 😊 Can’t wait to see your beautiful forever home! 🎉
So good to hear from you! I’m sorry for all you went through, but so glad you’re able to move forward! Congratulations! God never said it would be easy, but promised He’d be there with us. May He guide this entire process, He’s with you all. 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
That is unreal. I am so happy things are progressing for y'all. Building a house is one of the most stressful things you'll ever go through. Remember it is a material object that can be changed or upgraded at any time in the future, so while it's in the construction process don't sweat the small stuff.
Love you Sister! God will get you your house !
That's so exciting. I know you guys have had a lot of problems with this. Yay! Can't wait to see your new house. What a load of stress off of you now that y'all can go forward. Congrats!! 🎉🎊🏠👍
I have been WORRIED SICK over you getting your pantry!!!!! It WILL HAPPEN!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Very relatable , we are building in Florida too!!!
That’s so crazy & pretty cool history about your land! Your land is amazing! I have the same dream. So happy for you!
Love you Christina! You’re such an inspiration!
It's INSANE that the county wouldn't let the potential buyer know about the problem on the property, but have no shame to sell it anyway. I heard similar stories about military structures being spread between parcels and dead bodies found that stopped the building, but never about individual residence powers that shelved crucial info like this about the sacred place underground... makes me wanna reconsider building and settle for a fixer-upper instead
Very glad you got your permit though. Godspeed Christina!
Omg I’ve never heard of this!! But I’m so glad everything worked out I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and your family 🙏🏻❤️
Wow! That is crazy!! I'm glad it all worked out but that definitely had to be so stressful. 😬
we need the video with grandma !! don’t gatekeeper christina !! 😂❤️❤️
sounds stressful... glad things are finally going your way.
