Looks great. You did a great job.
Thank you so much for the support.
The property looks really good Andrew, that was a bunch of work. Hope y'all had a very Merry Christmas with family.
Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Just a tip and someting to take into consideration. When securing a machine on a trailer, I always learned that securing for the forward and backward movement needs to be done with separate chains or ratchet straps, one on each side. This is to ensure that in the event of one of the tie-down points fails from a broken strap or chain or ratchet, or when it simply was not secured well (which happens more often than you expect) there is always the other tie-down point to keep the machine from moving in the direction you don't want. The way you tie down your machines with a chain over or through the machine, if the chain fails, or the hook/d-ring on the trailer or the ratched, now the machine is no longer secured in that direction.
This is extra important for the tie-downs in the rear because these endure the biggest forces in case of an emergency stop or even a crash into a car or obstacle as these are there to stop your machine from carrying on its forward motion and crashing into your truck. I would not like to see the cabin crushed with the bucket of the excavator as it barrels forward in case of a crash.
That's a good point and valid, but not required on any machine under 10,000lbs per DOT regulations. With that said, it doesn't hurt to practice overdoing.
Love it! Merry Christmas and thanks for the content
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Looking good, Andrew. That was a heap of work. The equipment pays for itself with every job and makes it look east, which I know it's not. I'm excited to see things come along.
I am so thankful to have this equipment for the jobs couldn't imagine hiring all this out for the labor prices. We are getting exicted to get everything going.
Merry Christmas and God’s blessings for you and Tiffany! Wishing you guys a wonderful holiday season and continued growth and prosperity in the upcoming year!🎉
Merry Christmas to you as well. Thank you for the support it means so much to us!
I could watch you do this all day. I watched you get some of the tractors, buckets, etc and I love how much your skills have grown over time. Good job! There isn't anything you can't drive, run, etc. Merry Christmas.
Thank you for watching and the support. Merry Christmas
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. Mine will be much better since Dad got to come back to the care center today so prayers were answered! Still not 100% but happy to have him home.
So happy to hear this, Merry Christmas Crystal!
Merry Christmas!!! Right tools for the job makes it so much easier. The property is looking better day by day.
Thanks for watching, Merry Christmas!
Looking great!!!
Thanks
Top trailer!
impossible to find in France! hello from France Good luck
I totally love what you’ve done bro,that’s why I just subscribed to your channel because I can’t wait to see your upcoming projects!
Welcome. Thanks for the support!
Merry Christmas Andrew and Tiffany. Thanks for all the great content. Looking forward to seeing your channel continue to grow in the new year.
Thank you for the support, Merry Christmas!
Hi Andrew, Great work on the property cleanup. I just purchased the GMC AT4 version of your Chevrolet pickup and want to put a tonneau cover on it. I see you have one on yours and I like the looks of it. Do you like yours and would you recommend it to me? Would you tell me the manufacturer and model if it is a good one? I trust your opinion on what I should purchase. Thanks brother, I love your videos and learn so much. I have been a KCL fan since the ice machine videos. Merry Christmas to you and your bride.
I’m interested to know too. Have a 2019 GMC 3500HD that we tow a 5th with and I’ve been keeping my eye out for one that won’t interfere with turning the beast because my wife does most of the driving (I’m disabled) and refused to get a long bed dually so with the standard 6.5’ bed, turning gets awful tight when backing it up.
OMG.. that was to cool the way you turned the implement around and used it in a different manner.
Awesome job!!!
It definitely made the job go faster and works awesome.
I love these long form videos! Merry Christmas Andrew and Tiffany!
Thank you for watching, Merry Christmas to you too!
Hello Andrew what a huge Different you have done over a few days work great video thanks for documenting this change
It definetly looks better.
Looks great Andrew. I hope you and your family have a great Merry Christmas and a Happy 🎊
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well.
Great job having the right tools for the job !!!!
Makes things possible
It makes a world of difference!
@@TKCL Yeah!!! I'm starting on 3 acres old mobile homestead just outside of N.Mytrle Beach SC.
Good thing all utilities in place and flat, high just trees on perimeter took me years to find the right property.
I just bought 7 ton excavator I'll get alot done in my off season this Spring and summer!!!!
That's a very capable size excavator. Enjoy developing the property.
Merry Christmas Andrew and Tiffany.
Those annoying palmettos that's growing back where you're going to put the camper can be easily taken care of by drilling a hole and pouring regular salt into it.
Great information, those things are tough to kill. Merry Christmas
@@TKCL Indeed they are and I can tell you from experience the salt works.
Merry Christmas to you and Tiffany. Hope it’s a Great Day for ya’ll. Ya’ll deserve it.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too.
The way that root base came up at 26:04 , I think ya'll made the right choice taking that tree. Better safe than sorry for sure. Merry Christmas!
I'm shocked it didn't blow down in the last few hurricanes.
@TKCL it always seems like hurricanes leave the dead ones and destroy what seems to be the healthier ones
True
Looking good. Lots of fun projects to come. You definitely have the equipment for it. A grapple will be a nice addition. I love mine. Good stuff.
Yes I'm working hard on a grapple.
Heck yea! I learned SO much from you building your last house. Can't wait to watch and learn on this one. Happy to be here for it!
Thank you, I'm glad you found the last one helpful! Looking forward to the new build.
So many questions going through my head right now! First off, merry Christmas to you and your family! When you were taking down that big tree around that 22 minute mark, why did you decide to take it up by the roots instead of using the chain saw to cut it down and then dealing with digging up the root ball after? Was it for ease of taking it down and then cutting it up? Also, great job on getting that dirt filled root ball into the trailer! Ha!
Video suggestion since you mentioned how much mileage you were going to be putting on the trailer, how often do you check over your trailers and what do you do to service them to get ready for a job like this! Would love to see how you maintain your trailering equipment!
Can’t wait to see this property spring to life as you make a nice little get away area! Keep up the amazing and informative videos! Love you guys!
I took that stump out because it's going to be in the general area we will be setting a barn post. I might as well get it all gone. As for the trailers, I don't have a set schedule and I should. After several hundred miles or sitting for months I like to go over tire pressures and check the axle grease. I don't pump more in until I see open pockets or voids needing a grease fill. That or after a couple thousand miles I'll pump in regardless.
@@TKCLIf you haven’t done it since buying it, now that you need to retorque the lug nuts. It’s crazy how much they loosen up after the first couple hundred miles.
Looking good , Andrew! That was alot of work, but it was definitely worth it!
It definitely was!
Merry Christmas TKCL! Great video! I’m right there with you on having a smaller 25hp 4x4 tractor. What a versatile piece of equipment! Oh and that landscape rake is the cat’s meow!
Love that rake and tractor combo! Merry Christmas
Awesome video. Love the channel and content. Merry Christmas. 🫠
Thanks for watching, Merry Christmas!
That property definitely has the old Florida feel with all of the saw palmetto bushes, pines and oak trees. It’s close to what it all looked like all over back when Ponce De Leon first stepped foot into Florida back in 1513. There is a formula you can use to gauge the age of the palmettos by the root length. Do a google search for the age of saw palmettos and you will find some interesting information. You likely have some on your property well over 100 old or greater. Some across the state are thought to be well over 800 years old. Y’all are blessed to have been able to get beautiful property.
I agree, it's old Florida for sure. Nice and quiet, just the way we like it.
This area looks very much like my 3 acres in Ocala. That will be a beautiful setting for a home. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! It's all old school Florida trees and shrubs in places. Sounds like you have an amazing place.
Great progress! Caint wait for future videos
Thanks! Lots more to come.
Hello from the Northeast here! Those logs look like good saw mill length 🤔😉
They are! Maybe one day
ripper tooth should do a good job on your stubborn rocks Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
And help bust roots. I plan to get one eventually. Merry Christmas
Looks great Andrew! Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you both!
It looks great! I'd like to know how long it takes you to drive from the main house to the river property. I noticed your signature Oak tree looks good, and I hope it overcomes the damage caused when the trunk split.
Oak it OK at the moment, time will tell. There are a couple of ways to drive to the new property, it's roughly 30 minutes or less depending on the route.
You have to get Tiffany on the machinery the job will go twice as fast. My wife and I built a house together she would run and have my tools and machines except the chainsaw lol Merry Christmas to you and your family keep up the great videos.
I'm sure we will be doing some of that. Merry Christmas
Nice job.
Thanks!
💪
Merry Christmas Kelley family!

Merry Christmas!
No, it's not because of us, but because God has tailored a plan for you ( including all your viewers). From wishing you had a grapple, to every single piece of equipment, all makes sense now! Thank God for His care !
Christ is born, Merry Christmas to you and your families:)))
Merry Christmas, I appreciate that, thank you.
nice work Boss!
I'm trying!
@@TKCL you should of had tiffany take red and bring the camper down so you could of stayed and camped out for that night!
Dang you were bright orange 🫣🫣🫣 lol. Your getting better on that mini excavator 👍🏽
Yea I wore my gear this time LOL! Getting lots of practice in.

Nice and fulling work it seems. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too!
I may try removing every other tine from my landscaping rake. Neat idea. Thank you Andrew
It definitely helps to not remove your dirt.
That rake was originally made by the York Company. Thus it is known as a York rake. 😊
Thanks for sharing, I had no idea!
Looking forward to the burn pit.
Coming soon as I have a mountain of wood to burn.
@TKCL Sounds epic!
Looking good.u
Thanks for watching!
Happy to see you wearing the safety attire.
About how many miles apart are your properties?
It;s really taking shape. Love it!
Merry Christmas!
@@kim.in.nature. Merry Christmas Kim
Merry Christmas! Depending on the route, it's 20 ish miles away.
Merry Christmas to ALL!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all wish you all a happy and good 2025
A very Merry Christmas to you too.

I notice that nobody uses Pine as firewood. No even for burning in a fire pit. Why not? Sounds like a good experiment for you to take on.
Several reasons, I have an abundance of oak, pine is sticky to work with, gunks up my saw, splitter ect. It also burns quick being a soft wood and the bark goes everywhere making a mess when dry. It's OK for a fire pit as it burns hot, but I prefer oak or cherry for all the other reasons.
What river are y’all on?
You have to apply for a permit to burn fallen trees on your own property?
Yep, sadly. The rule use to be any pile over 10x10 size.
How many rpm’s are you turning on the stump grinder. It looks like it’s moving slow.
540 RPM as designed. Your perception is skewed by camera frame rate. I can record a helicopter and almost make the blades look still with certain frame rates.
Merry Christmas :)
Merry Christmas
Just wondering why didn't you burn the trees at the lot ?
Too dry, too many surrounding trees and neighbors. Too much risk.
Who is the Guy dressed bin all orange
I wanted you to notice me 🤣
@@chrisavila2073 Merry Christmas Chris!
@@AdamDeal-KF0PRI thank you and you too
Permit for power on the shop? How dare you not do a solar setup. 🤣
Welcome to Florida, grid tied is required by law for homes regardless of solar or not. I can assure you that I'll be attempting solar for full off grid potential.
@TKCL I was assuming full off grid.
@@adamchandler9260 I can't legally, but I can... I must be grid tied and pay a fee each month for grid upkeep, which hasn't been overhauled since the 70s. It's basically a tax we can't avoid. I'll do my best to get everything on solar once the house is started. It's going to be tough since it's wooded, but I'm going to try.
Didn't you just build your house are you going to be moving to this new property.
We built our home over 2 years ago. This will be strictly for creating new and better house building content, rental income and a weekend getaway.
