Buy a Trashy Homestead to Live your Dream Life

[@thisorthat7626]

You are right that you lucked out with the small amount of trash on your property. Look at what the Hollars had to deal with on their land. Still no one wants to have to clean up after someone else. Using the outbuilding for a brooder is a great idea. Your property is coming along nicely with all your hard work and vision.

[@nuancematters]

I actually love the idea of buying something old and neglected and making it my own. It seems like a wonderful thing to do.

[@Jesse_was_here]

Man I couldn’t stop laughing at that “it’s either Jesus or Barry Gibbs” both good best friends for “stayin alive”!

[@tbrown2302]

We bought ugly and lived in a habitable tiny apartment over the garage for 16 months while gutting and rehabing the main house. At times it was hard but I would remind myself we had a roof over our heads and food on our table. Now we’re living in the house and starting on the “other” projects, one step at a time. Blessings.

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

We started out in a rundown singlewide mobile home on a 1/4 acre in WA. We fixed it up, started raising livestock and ended up selling for a huge profit. We moved across the country and bought an Amish property on 26 acres in Northeastern KY! Beautiful journey you've had!

[@DrtERotinBasstrd]

Good to see Randy and his wife back. I know they mean so much to you guys.

[@hduddy83]

Yes I can totally relate about the trash. We just acquired or first piece of property that we want to turn into a homestead. The gentleman we purchased from was an older widow that just couldn't manage the property anymore (just under 60acres 😱) he not only left a TON of junk behind but we are finding literal trash piles as we venture the property and try and clear it up. It's been a "fun" time to say the least

[@jeanneshannon5607]

Careful!Careful!! There may be some old cars under the piles

[@keencreek]

This is why we got our homestead for such a great deal! Glad to see we aren't the only crazy homesteaders!

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Love seeing you transforming this farm into an abundant growing space! Thanks for sharing Jason!!

[@bonnieandclydeshomestead2477]

You will love it more because you built it!

[@trudiprigge1883]

"Yard ornaments" 🐽🐽 They seem to LOVE it out there because they grow in width!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Hi Jason and Lorraine 😊 You have a fantastic homestead channel. I admire your work ethic and your ability to inspire others. Take care ♥️

[@denisebozung126]

You're braver than I am about touching all the garbage you found in that outbuilding, but glad you got it done without finding any critters. I think using the building as a brooder will be a great idea.

[@homeandhavenfarms]

You are not kidding. My husband and I just started up our farm in the last year (and our KZbin channel last week), and we have so much trash from the previous owners! I've been debating making a whole video dedicated to just sharing the reality of buying a property. Sometimes trash is there and someone has to deal with it. I love what you all are doing with your new place! I hope you can find some simple and easy solutions for what you all want to fix. ✨

[@UKhomestead]

You guys are doing so well, that window really does make the room. It's so bright since it was painted and a lovely view what more could be asked for.

[@evelyndole4618]

I bought a small farm and the people at our local dump now know me by name I have made so many trips, plus three trips to the metal recycling place.

[@LadysFarm]

Jason I need your energy lol!!! The property is looking amazing ❤

[@shadegarden7375]

When you fix it up, that will be a good and safe brooder space!

[@private15]

That ‘grapple hook’ was to hang bridles while you clean them. Grandpas popcorn could have been a pot for a plant. On a deck or greenhouse.

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

I love seeing how your homestead continues to improve and along with it, your videography skills are becoming so much better. You've come a long way from that cubicle you were confined to so many years back.

[@rebeccamunoz4596]

You guy's are living the dream 🤗 ya so far it's been a lot of hard work. If you were still in the city you couldn't have pigs n chickens and butcher them in the back yard. Maybe in another country....... Trash fun run day🤗❤👍 thanks for sharing

[@claudettehernandez3402]

Concrete floor for rat proofing definitely ✅

[@TiaraPoodles]

We had TWELVE dumptrucks full of trash on our new property removed - trash, downed trees, more trash and voila - a lovely forest! In less than a month, the reason most people would not consider this gorgeous, 22 acre property with the wrap around porch was the lack of care of the forest. Our work is not only enhancing our lives, but increasing the value of this investment.

[@virginiawomack1144]

I love you Jason for saying buy ugly. that is so accurate so true made me laugh too.

[@familydutton6568]

Just a thought... could there be some sort of pump for the water hydrant that will work when the electric is working? What a treat to get two videos in a row! Thank you 😊👍!

[@mio.giardino]

I dig through trash any day of the week to get my dream. Cleaning up a place like that is a cross between archeology and treasure hunting. Can’t wait to see the bullet proof brooder!

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Jason and Lorraine, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐕🐄🐖🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@HomesteadinginIdaho]

Our homestead was an ugly mess when we bought it. We hauled off so much trash! The weeds on the property were taller than my 6'3" husband! And oh my the goatheads! We had to remove nasty fencing, fence a lot of the property. It was so worth it. People cannot believe the low, low price we paid for our property when we bought it. The awesome part is it really made it easier to make it ours.

[@2friesshortofabigmac407]

that grapple hook is for hanging horse bridles from the ceiling

[@kelleymccoy7456]

I use the tool aprons to hang on the wall of the shed and coops to put tools in that are needed frequently

[@mary-i7d9d]

A heads up...... Jason you should always wear a mask. Rat droppings have the potential to cause respiratory infections if inhaled!

[@jaicymelisse5532]

Wow l just realized how much your channel has grown! I'm so proud of you and your little family, congrats on the new land and you're absolutely right, BUY UGLY.

[@u.p.northhomestead484]

👍👍👍 Ive spent 7k on landfill fees,10yrs later and im almost done. Labor of love,gotta be able to picture the end goal. Be proud of what we accomplished and even prounder of what we learn along the way👍👍👍

[@gingerbandy792]

I get the la d fill cost. We bought ugly one year ago exactly. It had about 70 years of neglect but we are making progress! And a lot of our trash is going to the scrap yard instead of the dump. I don't think there was always a landfill in this area because virtually all farm properties around here have pretty hefty junk piles....

[@u.p.northhomestead484]

@@gingerbandy792 There wasnt much in the line of old farm equipment or any real scrap metal here. A few burnt barns,tons of asphalt roofing and enough old tires to repair potholes in the state for yrs. Seems like companies would take or even buy for asphalt or even retreading tires but nope... Still have a few thousand tires,3$ per to get rid of... Gotta love it,lol

[@theIAMofME]

@@gingerbandy792 Yeah, that's what I was thinking. We have been so spoiled with garbage pickup and $35 yearly landfill fees if you need to haul something off. I guess most deposited their trash in the ground. Kinda sad that one day we may be forced to go back to that.

[@tasobouzinelos8027]

You should put a concrete pad in that little shed. It would be a lot easier to clean if you plan to have animals in there

It's Barry Gibb! LMAO 🤣

[@SowtheLand]

🕺

[@jasonlightfoot4145]

This resonates so perfectly with me right now, I just closed on my property here in Southern Colorado and it is exactly what you just talked about. It is going to be one hell of a cleaning and demo project but the price was what I could afford. To be honest I am a bit overwhelmed but I figure I just need to focus on one small project at a time because the totality is just to much to try and tackle all at once.

[@karlaellis663]

When horses chew on wood that’s called “cribbing”. They do it out of boredom

[@Yamahut13]

When you go to put concrete in the brooder, put a good moisture barrier down first. It will help keep moisture from wicking up into the shavings

[@belieftransformation]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful progress! Many blessings to your family & it’s great to see Lorraine’s parents again!🤗💕🇨🇦

[@petiegroll6458]

Hey! We have a hook like that. We tied a rope on it and throw it up in tall trees for leverage to pull the way you want them to fall when cutting them down! Great job on getting the jobs done! :)

[@mccrack77]

Getting REALLY close to 200,000 subscribers!!!

[@bonnieandclydeshomestead2477]

Gonna need a freezer barn soon!

[@roxanasmith7745]

Good to see your in-laws. They look great.

[@lloydcoleman5469]

Probably one of the best videos you've ever put out

[@janetwithers7427]

You got er done with the trash. 😊 Your farm is looking good and you always have something to do. Your pigs are all lively. I love that dining room window too. 💞🎄⛄🎄🎅

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Far as feeder cows remember if you have a dairy close by you can generally pick up the little bulls and heifers cheap.

[@ThePasturedHomestead]

We had the same issue with the Amish property we bought. The last owners were great people but they were in a hurry to leave and decided to also leave behind all the trash... Glad you will get some good use out of that building, brooder is a great idea!

[@ladydragon3648]

That is not a ugly window at all I love it. I love how much sun it lets in the house. I would be keeping it like that.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

This will be a great space for a brooder. If you put in concrete floor, you might give a thought to sealing the concrete with a couple of coats of sealer. I will make it so much easier to clean. I think the up front coast would save money and time in the end. Glad to see your parents are back Lorraine. Y'all have a Blessed week.

[@sandraewers178]

I hope you have power. Concerned for all North Carolines... love from West Virginia

[@JB-pd4ni]

My thanks for reclaiming, and upcycling the farm into a place of healthy food....we all benefit from that.

[@enriquemarino7250]

Hi Jason, absolutely true what you say about trash in old farms, I got one of 7 acres and the barn was full of old rothen furniture that was a home of raccoons, 2 old homes with garages and sheds full of old tires and old widows old clothes etc. But now after 4 years and a lot of effort evening looks ok.

[@echothegoodwolf]

In the age of social media where we can project a curated and picture perfect life on the internet - I think this message is SO important. Nobody’s life is quite as perfect as it looks online. And starting out with something ugly, trashy, and run down can actually be a good thing!

[@bonnied3550]

Great teamwork “Sow the Land”😃👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks 👍

[@shadegarden7375]

Yeah, we missed the other part of the family being with you!! Glad they are back!

thank you!!

[@paulamcdowell2578]

😂😂😂😂oh my gosh🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was 😆 funny 😆 Berry Gibbs😝😝😝

[@estellaknox9285]

Transforming that old building it usable and some of the stuff could be uselize great job.

[@marthabowser501]

It's a Harness hook Jason....very handy to hang lots of farm stuff.

[@SowtheLand]

wonderful! thanks

[@pollenhead]

Nice to see Randy back.

[@martihetrick609]

Horse shed pour concrete on the floor and 10" walls and use the walls

[@roxanasmith7745]

Thankyou gor that advice. I never thought about that.God Bless

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thank you.

[@lindaransom3013]

Your dining room looks so nice with paint and windows!

[@paulat5921]

Good job Jason!

[@alipatepareti2301]

On the bright side, you can re-use a lot of the materials for your farm. You know: One man's trash is another man's treasure.

[@dianebyrum3696]

You have a nice homestead. I am sure you will work harder to make it like it. Your family is not afraid of hard work.

[@TiaraPoodles]

Smart to rat proof....I will be anxious to watch that episode. Actually all your episodes have been very entertaining and informative - thank you.

[@cindyfinn4845]

Ben was saying that bubbles and I cant think the lady pig grew up together so were like siblings and may be why they didnt mate, sould that be issue with your couple but I love them they have personality.

[@bertadelaudebri7179]

Thanks for sharing your personal farming activities...

[@ksay34]

The hook is for cleaning horse tack. You hang your bridle(s) from the hook to clean it.

[@theIAMofME]

I love your sense of humor, Jason!! 😁

[@karionhawkins3091]

Love all the improvements you have done!

[@richardroyles1423]

A diamond in the rough. God bless

[@dianekilbourne5734]

That’s too funny, when you first showed the mug I also thought it looked like Barry Gibb when he was much younger,haha

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Little by little you are making your dream farm

[@heavenboundhomestead126]

It looks like you threw away a Hadley stoneware pot . That would have been worth about $50 or more. Oh well,At least you got everything cleaned up. Blessings to you in your land

[@2ndSprings]

Bro, you MUST auction off that Jesus mug!!!

[@JenniferTingley]

Not a grapple. It's a tack cleaning hook. Hang from the ceiling, and you put your bridles, halters, etc on it. Great job.

[@danielharsh7698]

We are still having turkey. Good work on your place.

[@armidaperez5360]

No matter where you move you Always change things....but some messy people don't care🙈..you'll make it exactly what you need.

[@snyderfamilyutube1121]

We bought our property knowing it was a trash pit. It took us 6 months to haul off about 16 tons of trash, just to get to the point we could live there. After 2 years we have hauled off 21.5 tons. A lot of work buts why we could afford it! We paid about $100,000 less than mark trate.

[@hopehealsinternationalmini4291]

Love your content, always very creative.

[@deannewilliams3321]

I love sweat equity and projects. The window is so nice! And that little shed with utilities is a super cool find!

[@afrlala3593]

Great job. So many spaces and great idea to have it for a brooder Jason.🌺🙏🏻

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Thought you were going to use the big toy truck tires for a chicken tractor, love the humour. Cheers.

[@timmathewson9111]

Your doing good on getting that place like you want it . Lots of work , but it will be worth it. Thanks for taking all of us on your journey .

[@caroleewalker5546]

Well done Jason ❤😊

[@corabankston2244]

Your efforts always comes with great results. A little grease work always has a clean outcome worth its work. I still like the 3 stooges name. They act like them. Loud one male would be curly. Blessing the windows are great.

[@ginagruber1732]

That's definitely a good idea. I have an amazing place but it needed work and was a little peculiar so not suited to a lot of buyers. So I got a great price on it.

[@vmedrano1954]

I love when you refer to the kunes pig yard ornament 🤣🥰🥰🐷🐷hi from Fort Worth Tx Violet Medrano BLESSING.

[@AlmostHomestead]

It's mind boggling to see how much trash is dumped on properties, streams, and rivers on that side of the country. You guys have such a great place.
