IF I THOUGHT ABOUT LEAVING THE DANGER TREES THIS DETERMINED IT!

[@birdwoman.Birdman]

Hi, thanks for showing us that video! To everybody who read this comment: I am the previous owner of that Property. I know what’s going on there. If a tree has his age, he has to come down. I cut a lot of trees already. In my eyes, silver cleaning would be the right thing. There is also a lot of very, very big Hemlock Trees there. I had to cut about 10 of them. If the inside is rotten, it is time to get him down. And yes, it is his Property now, his decision, his fun and last but not least, his money! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪☘️ Bobby

[@workplaytv]

Hey Bobby! Thank you sir! People love seeing you comment! Please keep watching! Take care

[@margaretporkolab7166]

Thank you Bobby I am from Ontario Canada and I enjoy watching this channel. You have build a wonderful place. You sold to the right person.

[@peanuts1173]

We love your former home so much! You thought of everything to live off the grid! What a great walking path and beautiful property! Your support is so wonderful! Be well.

[@darlaballenger2357]

Thank you Sir for putting so much love in the woods. The love of you both show in this home and grounds and I'm pretty sure it will stay the same. He just has the sound of love in his voice when he talks about the cabin. If no one cares can you tell about the paths you made? I'd love the story behind the cabin.

[@mariosampaio108]

hey Bobby congrats on you and your wife mate for a superior job done there in nova scotia! this place is the perfect example for whatr people need now and that is to become resilient self sufficient off grid dwellers... !

[@kendacornell1046]

I own a tree company here, and let me tell you, trying to convince someone that a dangerous or unstable tree needs to come down is something else. You are right to do what you are doing. Every tree has just a time of life, and when that life is done, you cut it down and then the recycle of life is taking place. Chips for mulch (Yes I own a BC 5000 chipper ) and the use of the logs for fuel. That is the nature of trees. You work hard and I love your visions. Wish I could find a cottage like your have. I would be so happy

[@lloydmullins2117]

Well said, I love what your doing. I live in Ssoutheast Texas in Hurricane alley. I did exactly what you did when I moved and built a new place. Keep your chin up

[@feralflower8724]

I live in the mountains, and some people ( mostly city people ) do not understand that the forest needs thinned out so our houses don’t burn down in a drought. Or because campers are not safe in the summer and put their fires totally out. Not to mention the crazy winds we get that can blow their trees on our house! I’m hoping to someday buy the properties around us, and any tree that is unsafe is coming down! We also get our own fire wood and are very aware of the permits that we need to have! Hoping to bring my family to your air b&b someday! Congrats! Looking forward to watching!

[@Immortal-Headcase]

I know right? In the days of yore I was a groundsman at a manor house here in the UK, think Downton Abbey, I worked on many things including tree surgery. Later I worked for my city council and have had people seriously flip their $hit when we had to top, lop or fell diseased or infested trees or dangerous overhang. A lot of people are all for trees until somebody meets a widow maker, they never realise chopping the trees in areas like this actually helps the enviroment, saplings can be tied together to make future arches or wind breaks to protect other trees.

[@KM00Youtube]

You are funny, loved your realization that there are "Forestry Management Experts" on KZbin! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 We find you to be a most hard working and loving family man with great appreciation for the out doors in Nova Scotia. We can't wait to see the property in spring and your family enjoying the lake! Soldier on! 🥰🥰😎😎

There is really no need to explain yourself. You are doing the right thing. Screw the doubters!

Don't answer them. They want attention and they will never stop if they get attention from you. You are doing the right thing to safeguard your family and your property.

[@jenettes.7961]

Don’t worry about all the negative comments . I commend you for taking care of you family first . Good on you👍

[@ryanthompson2808]

Keeping your structure out of the kill zone is a great idea. Cutting away trees will help get the sun on the cabin and keep it dry. Wet and rotting wood is no good. It's your asset. How you keep it safe is up to you. Keep doing what you're doing. It's obviously in your best interest.

[@marinavamvakos4592]

Ultimately it is your property!! And protecting your home and family is more important than removing a few trees!!! Love this property!!!❤❤❤

[@kennethwalker8681]

The haters and busy bodies just can’t keep themselves from being negative. It’s ridiculous. The property is yours. Do what is right to protect your investment. A tree down on your cottage would forever destroy that beautiful place. Yes it can be rebuilt but it may never look the same. And after the repairs you’re still faced with the same situation as you have now. Dangerous trees near your cabin. After a couple of tree damage repairs I’m willing to bet your insurance will be ridiculously expensive. Love all your videos. And love seeing the updates and changes that you’ve been making with the cabin , your home and with your business. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. God bless you and your family.

[@larryceaser1706]

LMAO My family here in Ontario owned a hardwood bush for 4 generations It was regularly forested (mature trees were removed) every 20 years for as long (3rd generation) as I can remember This allowed the younger trees to grow and mature The funds were put aside to pay the taxes for the next 20 years Any excess was put towards family projects. My parents built a cottage which was enjoyed by both them until they passed away and I enjoyed it for many years after. The farm as we called it was eventually sold but for the time we had it the funds from the mature trees helped support our family Do what you need to do 😊

[@npo1297]

Don't take the risk, cut down what needs to come down for the SAFETY FACTORS of YOUR property, you and family or who ever may be at your PROPERTY.

[@schsch2390]

Anyone who has owned forested property or spent time in forested areas over several decades KNOWS that trees fall down whether living or dead sometimes for no apparent reason. On my forested 2 acres I have had three 24"+ oaks fall over while alive and 4 more 24-32" oaks die over the past 30 years as well as 3 28" pines either die or break off and fall in the same period. Two hit the house, three crossed the driveway. I agree with your plans to protect the house.

[@dalegereaux1863]

I owned a lake house for 14 years and had to remove a couple of trees. The neighbors always helped but there were always others who complained. One of the little old ladies that complained was also the one that came to one of the HOA meetings and asked if the deer crossing sign could be moved to a different location because it was too dangerous for the deer to cross there. I guess the deer must have told her after they read the sign.

[@nanak2025]

Oh my goodness, it's so crazy that anyone would have anything to say aboit what you do or don't do! Some people are so weird! After having a tree hit our house, it is a real concern and the damage and risk is real. Enjoying the videos and would love to rent the cottage some week.

[@loisbecker69]

I love your cabin and trees. I'm in Australia and wish i could live in such a beautiful cabin like yours. Just keep posting all your improvements and bring the cabin back to its glory. Im new to your channel and look forward to your next update...

[@kurtz260]

100% you have the right and even responsibility to make your house safe. It will improve the view of the lake and give a better place for families to play and toss a ball around. Ground cover will protect from erosion if needed. Even thinning the forest areas will help the forest and subflora to grow better and more desirable trees with stronger root systems. You could even add some fruit trees or other edible plants as a treat for yourselves and lucky guests. Tgen theres the fact that you do this for a living lol. We own lots of airbnb properties and youbare 100% on the right track.

[@donaldderrick3639]

The negative commenters must live in apartments or condos. I guess they have never had the home owner insurance audit show up and view your property for risk mitigation. Had to replace the safety net on the kids trampoline, remove two trees, and add exterior lighting before the would renew my coverage for the next year. Love this property, and your channel. Thanks for the videos.

[@darleneherrington1940]

Your property is gorgeous. You found a gem when you found this. The view to the lake could not be more beautiful. It is your property. You are making good decisions for the humans who will be staying there. It's nor necessarily about the trees . It's taking care of those you live and are paying to stay there. Don't worry about those who want to complain. For some, some people believe they have the rightto tell others what to do.

[@lesjay6968]

Ignore the negatively.....don't give them attention ....I enjoy your videos so much ,thank you!!

[@teresapower4428]

I support you completely. I used to live in the mountains surrounded by beautiful trees. However, after having some really frightening experiences with trees coming down, I support cutting down trees that may be a threat to a structure and for fire prevention. Also it's your property, your business, and your choice. Do whatever you want. I'm sorry people are so cruel. I think your home is beautiful!

[@jasondiprose3075]

Love the cabin mate There's a saying we use here in Australia The haters will hate The safety of your family is the utmost responsibility over a few trees As for the power issue it would be great to see you keep it off grid using solar with the generator as backup Keep up the great work mate watching with keen eyes as you improve the property I can only dream of having a property like this Thanks for sharing

[@pattib1914]

I cut down 72 trees on my property! Mostly pines. All of the trees would have or could have gotten my house! I didn’t cut down 2 live oaks down though. I live in Florida and I am not taking any chances, especially with the hurricanes! I totally agree with you.

[@bmaher4882]

Beautiful property you have there, I live in Newfoundland and went through the same thing on our last cottage. We ended up clearing back trees that could potentially blow down and hit the building in some of the storms we have that can have winds up to 120 km/hr. After clearing them back we did some hard scaping, landscaping and planted a mix of small and larger shrubs and annuals (all of it low maintenance of course). Upon selling that property each person that came to view it loved the trees that were left to keep privacy in mind and loved the greenery that we put in. The new property we are in now is on the lakeside and plan to do the same there as well. My advice is that you and your family purchased that property and make it yours as no one else pays your bills, in terms of longevity of your cabin and families/renters safety, two stroke smoke is your best friend! lol Keep up the videos, been watching you for over a year now.

[@brucerichardson8931]

I grew up on a farm in New Hampshire that was also a tree farm. It's so important to do a good job maintain the property. You bought a incredible property. I can't help but be envious as it's so rare to find such a property that's hand built and so attractive.

[@sandie062985]

Do what you think is right for the safety of you and your family. Theirs other people in this world that want to raze hell and can’t make up their own mind . Don’t be leave them do what you have to do for safe . God Bless and be safe and keep the videos coming . I love N S.

[@buildingup]

100% with you on removing the trees. I have always said with previous houses if I have a large tree within falling distance of the house that could do significant damage it will come down. I also live on acreage so i leave the other trees alone and plant a bunch to help with the flow of the property.

[@noah_webb]

Such a beautiful property and I can’t wait to see what you do with the place! Protecting your family and making it safe is #1!

[@nancyjohnson50]

The property is absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to see you do some clean up in the woods and get the house ready for renting. Spring is going to be wonderful, as I’m sure there are a million hidden treasures to discover. I sure hope you fill the flower pots with flowers once again.

[@joeibarra4869]

Great job sir!! Really enjoy your videos!! Glad you said your property, family and decision!!! Keep them coming and stay safe

[@darlaballenger2357]

Keep making the videos you're doing nothing wrong. Clearing some of the bad actually helps the others and you know those flower beds are there the sun's got to get to those and all those pathways that are beautiful need to be protected too. Protect your family protect that house bring the power in in order to get the mortgage or whatever it is you need and don't worry about what others say. I would not even have explained myself you doing a great job keep it up it's a beautiful place I would hesitate to rent thinking somebody might tear it up I like you said it's your property and I can tell that you're not going to do anything that's not absolutely necessary. I'd love to have that place living off grid enjoying the birds the sound of the water fishing. Just keep the videos coming.

[@karenpeterson1882]

People are so naïve when it comes to trees. The smallest tree can cause the biggest damage and kill people. Having lived in Humboldt County the home of the redwoods for 18 years the. destruction a tree can cause is astounding. The worst I’ve seen are the small trees that break off 20 feet up, and go through the roof of the home. Killing the person that was in that room. Just like you need a defendable zone for fire, you need a defendable zone for trees. those people that do not understand that are naïve and need to educate themselves.

[@gayle.hampson]

My son and family live in Stellarton..they moved there December 2019.. they had an old very tall pine tree growing in the front of the property. After the second wind storm watching the movement of this tree and direction of the wind they determined to cut it down to avoid losing the house . The whole town was up in arms especially the neighbours close by. The company hired to take this hazard down informed my son how close they were to this tree going over, the top 30ft was so unstable..

Your right mate your family safty comes first your right about wind I live scotland and the strong wind has picked up the last few years. cabin looks great keep up the good work👍

[@sidneystewart3653]

Pine trees are notorious for snapping in half during high winds. This is because they mostly have a single tap root that goes way down instead of spreading out like other trees. On the other hand, trees that live close to each other protect each other during high winds. This should be taken into consideration when you're taking out trees to not leave a tree to be too exposed and standing alone. I speak from experience on both counts 😳. I think this property is absolutely fabulous and it reminds me of my grandparents cottage where we spent a couple of weeks almost every summer. Those are my best childhood memories! I hope that you will be able to keep this property for many years and create many happy memories with your family. Once your children are up and gone, there's no going back. ❤️

Pine trees with their shallow root system pose a real danger in high winds. We had downed trees up at our cottage.

Hi, first of all like you said it’s your property. There is no disputing that! There are always going to be the negative people and negative comments, my advice is to skim over those and focus on the positive. There are way more positive people commenting than negative, at least I sure hope so! Yes, trees are beautiful and we preserve those that we can. But, it is your decision what trees pose a danger to the house and most importantly your family or anyone that is staying there. I really don’t understand why people think they can tell you what to do with your property. They can buy their own property and do whatever they want to do their property. It’s like you said everybody thinks they’re an expert on everything. Like I said focus on the positive! Take care, stay safe and keep doing what you’re doing.

Absolutely agree about putting safety of family and home over trees. I've never understood why people would choose not cutting a tree over safety. Great videos!

[@sanderslongdrive]

You are doing fabulously! Projects generally take longer than one imagines particularly with family and work obligations running alongside. You remind me of myself 40 years ago, except that you have much more space out in the U.S.A./ Canada, bigger equipment, and are certainly better (more talented) than I had to be. Working on a big scale demands professionalism and speed otherwise projects can go on almost for ever! The big big big thing that is essential when undertaking a home based project is safety. With dogs and children around perfect communication and team understanding with one's wife / other trusted supervisors has to go without saying. One small slip can literally be fatal. You know that but nevertheless ground rules need periodically going over, and giving voice to, again and again. I suspect that you are not given enough praise from those close to you as you seek it here, and being a sensitive fellow are struggling with the knockers and self proclaimed know it alls. "Leave that tree standing as you need maximum cover in order to shoot ever living creature that passes by!" Yanks. (i.e. the majority of KZbin viewers?) are not in the main tree or any other sort of nature lovers! There's almost always a hidden agenda! Don't respect anyone's opinion unless you know and respect them. If they bite you ask yourself 'Would I be angry if a rabid dog bit me?' Or would I simply think, 'That's a very sick mother goose plucker?' Repeat: You are doing FABULOUSLY!

Tyson you are 100% right on what you want to do with the property since you own it. You also got to do to keep the family safe. If it was me I would clear out about 25 to 30 feet off of the house to keep the property and family safe. By the way awesome video

Dont worry about the tree huggers, they have never lived on a large property/farms. From my experience, cut down enough trees to give your house and hydro poles the safety buffer they need. The tree huggers can go back into their concrete homes in the city and plant trees around the concrete mountains they live in.
