[@jja2085]

The right couple ended up owning this property,you have done a remarkable job.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Evan and Rebecca thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

You and Rebekah have done a great job! You have a beautiful homestead!

[@TKCL]

We've looked at property that had multiple abandoned mobile homes and several huge trash piles on it that would require thousands to remove and dispose of properly. We totally understand how that should all factor into the asking price for the property. It's a lot of work and money to remove all that and dispose of legally.

[@ACO-Amy]

Me too Andrew. They've done a phenomenal job with this property.

[@JamesCouch777]

We've cleaned up several properties over the years and we always came out ahead. It's a good feeling to clean a place up.

[@Kyle-bb9zp]

Lot of work did a good job. I wish people would clean up there property before they pass on.

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

You and Rebekah must be very proud of what you have accomplished on that property. You have turned it into a beautiful homestead, and I look forward to following your continuing adventure.

[@Marcus1954s]

And added considerable value.

[@terrycrowell1981]

Great job. You guys have come a long way. should be proud.

[@sams568]

Farm/Ranch life, metal is a premium commodity, especially steel. If you can't afford to buy and item, you make it.

[@lynnparis5506]

Wow !! I'm glad that here we have a metal recycling center that buys aluminum . Old Mobile homes make a lot of money here.

[@ithacacomments4811]

Usually a local Volunteer Fire Department will do practice burns to bring down unwanted buildings.

[@LorraineDennison1960]

Goodness me, so much work and money to clean that all up. ❤

[@terrycastor8299]

You definitely bought aess, but you and Rebekah have turned it into a paradise in a relatively short amount of time.

[@mikefisher1231]

You may want to start making trips over there or set up some game cameras to watch that part of your property cause you are right about the meth problem

[@lukestockelmusic]

Thank you for sharing all of this with us! Your property looks amazing now and it’s a testament to your hard work!

[@4knanapapa]

Been watching since the beginning so I did get to see all the houses and barns removed, lots of sweat equity.

[@thomtleonard46.]

I remember when you. Started cleaning up.

[@dantheman6931]

I’m looking forward to a 500 gallon smoker build!!!

[@jonhoskins5596]

For a dead end lane like that you can always use a trail camera or hunting camera with cellular access to know exactly who is doing what on your property.

[@StephenCarroll-bn3od]

Thank you for sharing your adventures 🙏.

[@howdyshaun6139]

The not-so-pretty side of buying neglected property. What an achievement to turn it into what you have, not just the house and pond, but clearing, grass, fencing etc.

[@ItsEricSmart]

The Horse Statue was worth some money LOL

[@cgjamma]

The property is looking better and better. Keep working at it!

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Hello Evan and Rebecca

[@157-40_T]

The people that were their before…. Wow! Less than human! You took on a massive project and have done very well with it.

[@DanKlein_1]

we tore down a single wide trailer on our farm. You did it the right way. It took us pretty much an entire summer of our free time to take off the aluminum, all the paneling and insulation and then cut up the frame into pieces to haul away. Rented a cut saw to cut the frame. cost me 204 bucks. we got 195 dollars in scrap. So, lost 9 bucks on that clean up. I enjoy your channel because I thought I had a similar situation where we live.... a farm that had lots of clean up to do. But, after this video, I see I was lucky. haha. I give you sooo much credit because I know what it is like to do just 50 percent of what you have done. Keep up the good work.

[@chaunceypullman3380]

Yeah Evan. You and Rebekah brought hillbilly heaven. You would had to have paid me to buy it at my age. 20 years younger I might have bit my tongue and cussed along before I handed over that check. But all in all the correct new overlords of the property moved in. Mine I got, I looked long time, but did take a 2 week camping trip on place to see exactly what all I purchased. Enjoyed boyscouting for those 17 days.

[@roberto.peterson9917]

Frames ,axels could make hell of haying trailer or even chicken coop some homesteaders make mobile chicken coop tractor Propane tank is not pass pressure test make fantastic wood heater or possibly covert into smoker/ bbq

[@momstrublue]

Wow, you’ve come a long ways! You’ve put in so much work and your property looks so nice now.

[@wolcottfamilyworks]

I'm so glad your amazing property has such a dedicated couple rejuvenating it. I have some work ahead of me to rejuvenate mine.

[@katieallen3927]

I had no idea how awful the property was when you purchased it. Makes what you've done even more impressive. I'm glad that removing the double wide is the last of the structures that needs to come down.

[@johnwayman2256]

I bought 40 acres similar to yours. There were piles of trash all over. I also had tons of tires to haul off. The EPA had a tire drive and I took them to that. The EPA guy started to lecture me on hoarding tires. I stopped him right there and explain the situation. There was old cars and farm equipment everywhere. Looked a lot like yours. My wife said we were the only ones fool enough to buy it. I feel your pain. Good job.

[@rt3box6tx74]

I remember seeing pics of an old green house at the beginning of your channel.

[@kurtbrown9618]

Way to go - worth every penny to get that place cleaned up - have done same on our land, so much satisfaction - making your land look great and helping to keep America looking great! 🇺🇸

[@harleythrelkeld7587]

thank goodness my abandoned farm just had some trash piles and scarp heaps, ive managed to save the buildings quite inexpensively

[@mariesheppard3750]

Thanks for sharing and yes you need to make sure no drugs done on your place, Now you got another part of your land to do some thing to work with

[@Golden_SnowFlake]

Better to solve a problem early, than to have to fix several problems down the line. You did good, as when rumors start, its to test the waters, nothing changes, then they know its out of sight out of mind, as you said , that's when they start doing shady shit.

[@johnsandell4501]

Outstanding reclamation!

[@charminghollowforge1109]

Tank Would make an awesome offset smoker if it doesn’t hold air

[@lear31awalker48]

growing up in rural Illionois in the 70s and early 80s. I total understand what you have found and have had to clean up on the property. good job and please keep up on the good work.

[@tedduke1699]

You can always make a rain barrel out of that propane tank on split it and make to colossal water troughs!

[@paulcochran1721]

Wow! Just wow. Looking tons better now though.

[@jacksanders7018]

You have come far pilgrim. thanks for sharing.

[@mellodhillcountryliving]

I thought I had to get rid of lot of junk in my place. But I think you'll win the prize. Your hard work pays off. You all have a good- looking place and it just gets better with time.

[@michaelmason2128]

Great Job with the property. Getting rid of a trailer can be costly. I would of done a deconstuction and taking any metal to the scrap yard.

[@paulodonohue8253]

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and spend the money now. Don't fret over it it's done so there. Look forward, now you can reclaim that area at your leisure without having to spend a lot of cash later you can just rearrange the area as you see fit, just as you're doing now. Great job

[@stephencudaback4548]

Grate for you guys it is whatever it is love it see in the next one

[@daleredmond6449]

Great video Evan, can't wait to see how the hay cutting and round bailing goes.

[@bevnelson3678]

Wow that was a surprise Even. It’s good it’s gone now. No one can trespass and camp up in the back property. Looking forward to the next video. I see the duck weed is thinning out. ❤

[@sameaston1301]

"There goes that beautiful couch." 😂

[@dalelusk622]

Your done real good cleaning up, very nice place

[@allenferry9632]

In our area of west Tennessee when a building gets that dilapidated they generally just set it on fire and clean up what's left. That saves on the hauling and dump fees and gives the volunteers fire station something to do.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

That is a lot of money, not only for what was torn down in the past, but this mobile that is being torn down now. Wise decision, especially if the rumors are true. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have good weather for the cutting of the hay. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@MattWilson801]

that tank looks like a great smoker...

[@tomhall7250]

You are doing awesome

[@leol1682]

Enjoy the video Evan on one building to tear down .

[@ianhaggart1438]

Just goes to show what can be done in what I think is a short space of time 😊 8 years.. 😮.. I'd be needing about 15 ... . Cracking video and thank you for sharing it with us.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@rickpetrie3119]

Hi from Vancouver Island, love your channel. I saw one where you listed a few channels with farmimg that you like to watch, could you again list some,I also watch Just a Few Acres thanks for quality videos

[@csnanny1882]

What a surprise, a big surprise. And you didn’t even say anything about it. Another big job for you. God bless. ❤be safe.

[@CountryViewAcres]

40 x 60 with 12 foot lean-to on side and the back. Total foot print is 52x76. Garage Doors are 10x12.

[@markpriddy1]

Thanks for sharing. 😎

[@stevengunter2843]

You did the right thing looks great !

[@douglaspeck8535]

keep up the good work

[@jamesdwyer5050]

You should keep those frames of the house trailers and cut them shorter and make a trailer to haul round bales out of the field, you could move alot at one time.

[@CountryViewAcres]

That's a good idea. I will keep that in mind.

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Really have done a great job. ❤

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Wow, hoarding… 😵‍💫 How wonderful that the old cemetery is next to your property 🕊️

[@Iamkcs2c]

Very interested in seeing you pressure test that tank. I guess they fill it with water and pressurize that so it is safer if it fails?

[@bryanfunk4548]

Called hydrostatic testing and yes much safer than air mediums .

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks Evan

[@malamberson]

I know what you mean. My wife and I bought the property that sits in from ours. Our property sits back in a corner with a 75 yard drive. The couple had lived there where hoarders and their daughter lived there a couples years after they had both passed away, and she was just as bad as they were. The daughter decide to move back to Washington state and with several months of talking we were able to purchase the property and like you we got the junk as well took us a little over a year to get it cleaned up to where I can keep it mowed, still some work to be done on the back tree line, and to cut down all the pine trees broader the front and side that next to our property. 27 pine trees in all.

[@sandratalbert9578]

Yikes…that is quite a mess that was left for you to clean up. Sorry for cost of huge expensive cleanup that was not part of your annual goals but understand the necessity of the expense. Hoping all goes well and that the propane tank and braces turn out to be useful additions to the homestead. Will take some of the sting out of the demolition. Good luck with the haying!!!

[@firsttimefarmer]

Taking over country properties is harder than many think. My wife and I took over her mother's property. Old barn, old mink sheds, a couple of old cars, and several just piles of junk from multiple owners. We also had acres of fields overgrown with willow brush. The work we are doing is why I started my KZbin channel. Keeping my kids up to date.

[@matt.matt4]

Its crazy how two people who actually care for their land can turn that property into what is has become.

[@JustinTurner000]

better to be safe then sorry! glad you got rid of it before anything happened! if anything

[@russellpetrie119]

a lick of paint new curtain s ready to rent lol

[@robingreene8167]

Wow .that's all I got

[@markglonek490]

Wow what a change great job

[@richarddecker555]

Evan you have done a great job cleaning up this property.

[@toddcaskey9984]

Great job

[@FieldstonefarmOH]

If the propane tank can’t be certified, maybe a good tank for diesel

[@Sword-Shield]

Or a huge BBQ grill /smoker combo 👍💯✌

[@ZrubekFamily]

Can also cut the ends off and make a couple really nice fire pits.

[@karenspeer7378]

Wow!! Lots of Work and $! But look what you guys have done!! You should be Proud of Yourselves!! God Bless and have a Wonderful Evening! ❤🌻

[@timothymcguirk4633]

Nice 👍

[@JoshFletcher-q5n]

Hey Evan really like your videos this one hits close to home for my wife and I we bought a small property (21 acres) and it had several buildings we had to clean out and two we had to tear down we kept braco ( a local dumpster company) on speed dial the first four months, and we were doing by hand instead of machinery 😂it's very gratifying to see what ya started with to what ya have when the work is done keep up the great work.

[@charlenethomas9966]

Hey 👋 Evan you and Rebecca are doing a great job with your property it's beautiful. ❤

[@dans9206]

Dang! A double-wide guesthouse, fully furnished, and you didn't invite a single subscriber to hang out for a weekend with free accomodations. I'm terribly shocked!😅

[@bay9876]

Nothing like cleaning up other peoples messes. It would feel like a huge weight lifted from your shoulders when those buildings were gone. Nice video of huge land improvements.

[@johnbargiel9358]

Great job to you and Rebecca! You guys have come a long way and should be proud.

[@joec3393]

Evan and Rebecca have the best channels on you tube for real life country living in my opinion. Y’all never preach to your viewer like a lot of others do and you always show your mistakes. I’ve learned so much from y’all and really appreciate you and wish you the best.

[@jerrycopley9325]

Can't wait for the bridge :) I was thinking watching those clips at the end I am glad you guys ended up with it and cleaning it up and putting it back to work :) God bless always enjoy your videos

[@88ranchok]

Put a gate up to lock up the cemetery. Put a sign up with your number on it.

[@jadr3123]

Hi Evan. Can you take pictures in the same spot as the last you’ve shown us? to see a before and after.

[@jamesbarry4324]

Thank you for sharing that about the double wide. You should be very proud of what you have done with your property, it looks so good.

[@rrmolzen]

with a little modification that propane tank would make one he'll of a smoker

[@mattbuser4176]

It's pretty sad how people dont appreciate and take care of their things. But it's good you and your wife came along because you have improved that property's value by so much. Good job!!!

[@bigtime37ja]

Man, the work never ends. You have turned that place around and looks great now. Great work sir.

[@jasoncorreal8810]

Ok that was kinda cool seeing the demolition

[@teenagefarmer]

Wow, very cool!! Glad you guys got a good little Start on that project. Things have come a long way. Keep up the good work

[@EC4400]

Wow Evan, country view acres is a large homestead You guys have accomplished so much 🎉

[@oldthudman]

To bent metal (as automobile panel beaters do) one tool you need is a bag of course sand....Plus....2 or 3 metal working hammers.........With these you could re-sculpt the top cover your propane tank....

[@miguelavelasquez8056]

Hay Evan you have done a great job on your property it looks amazing you have to be proud of what you have done in your farm question is what is your plan for the area the mobile home was maybe an area to raise a bunch of pigs well im sure you will think of something thank you for sharing Evan

[@Kyle-bb9zp]

Caterpillar awesome excavator

[@chloesmom412]

Evan, I think you and Rebekah have done a great job building a homestead. I know it wasn't in the plans, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Now, the last building is gone, and you can breathe a sigh of relief. Just a little longer, and you can get a new car. I am so glad we got to witness 1 of the buildings being removed. Have a great weekend!
