Herb - a production note... introduce every video as if whoever clicked on it doesnt know whats going on. And, every video should have a narrative, people should know its part of a story. "This is our abandoned air ranch, we bought it using our whole life savings on almost no noticez and we're going to fix it up. In todays episode we've only been here 2 days and we're continuing the tour just to take stock of what we have." Also, a roadmap of the project, like a do to list, where you show it, and then point to the part that this particular video is about. That way the scale of the project and content to come is known, and it feels like the audience is along for the journey.

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is a rare infectious disease that begins with flu-like symptoms and progresses rapidly to more severe disease. It can lead to life-threatening lung and heart problems. The disease is also called hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome. Several strains of the hantavirus can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. They are carried by different types of rodents. The most common carrier in North America is the deer mouse. Infection is usually caused by inhaling hantaviruses that have become airborne from rodent urine, droppings or saliva. Because treatment options are limited, the best protection against hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is to avoid contact with rodents and safely clean up rodent habitats.

I would see if camper will come out of tent, in the video it’s hard to tell if it’s up against the conex boxes, if it will see if camper has a generator or use the one from the barn with all the tools, test the fridge, cooker, microwave, and shower. If all ok use what ever you can find to make camper weather tight , deep clean camper and tow it down to the ranch. Hook up power and water. Now you have somewhere to live while you work on the ranch. Good luck eagerly awaiting the opening of the conex boxes.

[@donnytucker]

That camper isn't too bad, at least cosmetically. Just needs a super thorough cleaning or two and she's good as new. I'm curious as to future plans. Will you first start renovating the house first, or something else? Maybe you can try doing a dry pour concrete strip for the roller doors, and other areas.

[@CGT80]

Dry pour is a gimick, especially for something that will see some use. It isn't that hard to finish a strip of concrete and it doesn't have to be perfect for that use. Using steel angle or tube and different wheels with anchors driven into the ground might also work, if they don't get much rain to make the ground shift.

[@donnytucker]

@@CGT80 Dry pour with rebar works great for heavy weight usage. It's been done many times and holds up well after years without any issues. But a small strip can easily be poured wet as well.
