That place is just frikkin gorgeous, Chris. You have such a wonderful eye for transforming the land into a place of natural beauty. When you walked this part of the property after purchasing it and laid out what you wanted to do, I was lost because I couldn't see it. I'm so glad you've brought us along for the journey and it has been a fun ride. Thank you for sharing it.

You think that muddy pond looks good…..is that something people swim in down there….doesn’t that standing stagnant water produce that brain eating amoeba?

Is he really going to rent it?…..why would you buy a farm if your not a farmer and then buy the neighbors farm so no one would build houses near you and then build a cabin on it to rent to nitwits to bug you and ruin your privacy….and your cabin!

[@ronaldharmon9891]

The cabin🏚is BEAUTIFUL the tile work is excellent.🤗

[@TgWags69]

Even though you have not "disturbed" the roots. The natural forest floor mulch has been removed and stone and driveway compaction has probably been pretty detrimental. . I would outline a good area for the tree, add some landscaping timbers around it and add a good 6" layer of aged compost as well as a soaker hose for awhile. Trees depend on the mycelium and rich biological activity in the soil, they aren't happy with dry compacted soil getting their toes run over.

[@donnamullins2089]

I vote mulch! As usual the dirt work is top notch. Such a beautiful setting to spend some time resetting your internal clock. Thank you Chris. Love the hum of the mini. Good video. If you do any stained concrete outside and want it to look natural try a light dusting of rock salt while it is curing. Makes a beautiful somewhat natural stone look then stain in a color that compliments your soil. Trust the process 19 years and holding. Thanks for the rain. Nice peaceful rain since 4am and most of the day. Another round starting later tonight. Texas needs every drop.

[@GailBrum]

Chris, I continue to be amazed at how you manage to put every grain of dirt exactly where you want it. About the patch in front of the deck; how about some stepping stones or pavers with some small ground covering plants. The kind that doesn't need trimming but spreads out nicely around the stepping stones?

[@rozmoran1840]

Enjoyed the update, thank you Chris

The concrete work is going to really set the cabin off. Nice work on cabin. You sir are an operating KING.

[@ronaldheit196]

Cabin is looking absolutely amazing Chris. I'd suggest grass where you put the top soil. Mulch will float and spread in the direction of water flow then require to be racked or shoveled back in place. Plus grass doesn't derade over time and have to be replaced. An rechargeable mini mower would be all you'd need to mow that small an area.

Your Cabin, on the Pond go in the Finish Time. In the Cabin is the Furniture and Outfit to make. On the outside have You round the Cabin to work. The Side to the Pond to Arrange You the Place to Gadering. You will all have first Class. On the Way side is the End not ready in the next Days. You have again a great Purchase to reach. Congratulation 👌

[@ricktomlin5529]

You should mulch that area right by the deck at the back of the cabin. Then just plant some bushes or other plants / flowers. Less maintenance that way but still looks good.

[@nickchannel5364]

That area is reserved for the Airbnb customers' dogs to poop in. Chris needs to supply a pole with a doggie bag box as a hint.

[@ricktomlin5529]

@@nickchannel5364 in that case he needs to put down Astro turf also known as fake grass. No mowing and easier to remove poop and once sprayed with water there’s no mess. We used to have an area like that for our dogs and it was so much better than proper grass.

[@charlessmyth]

Unlike in Scotland where they sweep out a disused cow house, hang a door and market it is a bothy for a holiday let, building holiday lets in North Carolina is a serious undertaking :-)

[@markpashia7067]

Chris that oak tree probably does not like the compaction of traffic after all it's life in the woods. Maybe put up some blockers to keep traffic off so it can recover for a while and pump some water up from the lake to it on occasion til it gets back to healthy. I know it rained but we have had a really dry year this summer. Your idea of a cabin is ten times nicer than any place I ever lived.

[@Sean-i4r]

Because of blowing grass clippings up under the deck or down on the lower part. I switched around put colored Stone. Of your choice where you had put the top soil and put the top soil down on the lower part and make most of that grass with a small center section for a fireplace and a small patio with the outskirts of the lower section, a couple more widths wide of grass.

[@roseyborg1177]

Cabin is beautiful, love the color choices and tile work. How about some "steppable" plants instead of mulch or grass, low growth and hardly any maintenance, same as creeping thyme ☺️🌻

[@karlmckinney8469]

You have a great amount of patience that’s for sure

[@johnpyle8027]

I'm not an arborist by any means, but you can probably buy some type of fertilizer and put around the base of that tree as a precaution. My driveway is lined with PinnOak trees and back in 2008 I had some sort of a hornet looking things drill into two of them and I had to remove the trees and the soil so they would not hurt the other trees. I was sick! Those trees were thousands of dollars to get replaced to be similar size since they were planted in 1990. A guy gave me something to settle the rest of the trees. Basically I have been no help! lol

[@Bigjoe29]

Beautiful cabin. I wonder what the ceiling in the living room and kitchen would look if were blue like the kitchen cabinets. The weather is definitely a mystery, we desperately need rain here in Grafton West Virginia.
