You will start lose if tree soon due to new soil covering the roots. Any more than 2 to four inches of soil added will suffocate your trees. And then you also need to worry about coming in with excavators or bobcats, and then it causes soil compaction, which will also kill your trees. You can use the rocks and stack them up as fences or rock walls like up in the north east but your main thing right now you need to save your trees and you have a lot of mudslide that are choking out the oxygento the roots
1:05 I've been looking at properties I can afford and as soon as they say the word "easement" Im done.... my daddy always said to NEVER buy land you have to get, ask, buy permission from another man to enter.. AVOID AND KEEP LOOKING- gets frustrating and takes a while... but easements put you at their mercy and mood. best of luck!
First, I'd like to see y'all have the shed lifted onto blocks. Hopfully there's a group that may do that quickly as well as work on your shed. You're in a washout now, and water is going to go directly into that door once a drop of rain falls. Until then, trench deep and wide a gully to direct the water coming from the driveway into your shed area and down to the creek. Ask for simone to send out a small back hoe You do not want it to flood after you missed it by a hair! Then, fix up the shed as a she shack. Build a closet for the equipment you have in there, insulate it, and fix it up a bit. Again, ask for this help if available. Y'all can still go there and enjoy the place that God has blessed you with and have a place to sleep. Add in a composting toilet and some heating that works til the power and water are back on. Then, add a little kitchen later. A small grill with a side burner will help Iou do most cooking. And, you may ycarry your own drinking and washing up water with you until you know the creek is safe. I don't know how you were using the property before. But, that's what I would do to be able to get a decent sleep and awake to that beautiful, still, place. I love the idea of a bathhouse and store. I know it's not the usual, but I am disabled, and I need a bathtub for pain. Also, anyone hiking might appreciate it, too. A small campsite is a great place to see the site living and moving. Y'all need a win, and I see y'all are building elsewhere. But, you bought this land to enjoy it. You need to begin living with the mess and remember why you bought there in the first place... I presume to get away and enjoy the great outdoors. You can still do that. Don't think of only going there to be heartbroken and overwhelmed each visit. Go and sit and enjoy the beauty still there. You have what's left of the bridge over the water, and that has got to be a wonderful spot to relax and hear the water and observe Gods beauty. Go back to what you did there before. Live! Look past the ugly, get tasks knocked out as you have help, and enjoy that place that is still your home away from home. Be blessed! Still praying for you!
