We Needed HELP Cleaning Up Our Abandoned Property!! - Scorpions, Bee Stings & CRAZY Texas Heat 🥵

We've got SO MUCH junk on this abandoned property that needs to be cleared out! 😳 We managed to clean out our abandoned house, but there's still a lot of junk on the property, so we've enlisted the help of a big 'ol bobcat to whip our land into shape and make it beautiful once more! That is, if we can survive all the bees, scorpions and heat 🥵

[@Crimedog1286]

Take it from an Arizonan who has been fighting scorpion wars for decades: Get yourself a couple of black lights and a good pest control guy. The exterminator won’t kill the scorpions (they’re armor-plated) but he’ll kill their food so they have to look elsewhere. The black light will help you see them easily at night. They light up like a Vegas strip club under blacklight, then you can squash ‘em.

[@bigeye7480]

I never knew scorpions lit up under blacklight. That's amazing. Thank you for sharing this

[@Thomas-po3by]

Absolutely,! The black lite flashlight works just like advertised. I have to hunt them here in Henderson NV and those little boogers light up and can be seen 6 feet away, and I agree best way to rid yourself of them is to kill all the other insects that’s why they are there. Tc from Nv

[@Theendlessadventure]

We just heard about that black light trick! What a random and cool thing 🦂🔦 And we've seen so many billboards for scorpions exterminators in the area, but we had no idea that they just remove the food source... Those little suckers are so dang tricky!

[@SewFrancine6120]

Listen to Crime dog

[@jj-if6it]

Or maybe leave them alone and don't squash them? geez

[@alanholck7995]

Safety suggestion- when you are carrying stuff in bobcat/skid loader, have the bucket as low to the ground as possible when driving from one place to another. This lowers the center of gravity, and reduces the risk of tipping over. Lifting high at the dumpster is fine, just don’t drive around with bucket up high.

[@mrbuckmeister]

As someone who has tipped one over, I can confirm this is true.

[@ellyntallon2255]

Fyi... yall should get ya some snake boots (tall rubber boots) and tuck your pants into them to protect yourselves from snake bites scorpions ticks and their rubber so your feet won't get wet

[@super10nano1]

I was saying the same thing in my head.

[@chrisk891]

Riding in the bucket isn’t a good idea either

[@chuckgolds7]

If you can, buy yourselves a sub-compact tractor with a mower and loader. For how large your property is and your grand plans, you will get endless usage out of it. From mowing, to hauling, to digging, to grading -- one small tractor with a handful of attachments will take you a long way. You won't have to rent equipment and you can always sell it later. Look at a John Deere 1025r or a Kubota BX23

[@annspires8380]

We have the John Deere. Ours is 10 years old and since then JD has made some changes. Not all of them are positive. So do your homework. They are an investment; but well worth the money. We even got attachments for gardening. We also got the backhoe and that has helped with trenching when we needed to upgrade our gravel driveway. We use the boxgrater after every winter.

[@Alun49]

Things are already looking better! A lot of hard work, but worth it in the end as the beauty of the plot you have bought starts to take shape.

[@krickette5569]

It's looking So much better already! Can't wait to see what is next!

[@MapManLK]

That reveal of the two trees where the "play area" had been was SO amazing! I actually paused the video to see what a great job you two did! Having followed you for a number of years I was initially a little disappointed you were leaving the road for an extended time. But I gotta say that after this video I am hooked. Best of luck!

[@pato6334]

I second the motion of buying the tractor/ front end loader. Also, Spectracide Pro Wasp and Hornet spray has the quickest knockdown time of anything I’ve ever used; it essentially freezes them in place.

[@Naedlj]

I’m always so excited when I pick up my phone and see that y’all have uploaded!!! ❤

[@SweetHooligan1848]

So good to see you guys happy.

[@anne-sophiekuentz6875]

I was gonna comment the exact same thing! Their excitement is so contagious. The last few videos have had me smiling from beginning to end. :)

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thank you! 😭🥰 So far it's been maybe more stressful than any other adventure, but we're absolutely loving having something that's ours and living on our land.

[@SoxRoxBoston]

Enjoy your well deserved beers🍺🍺 Part 2 of the clearing out went relatively smoothly with the Bobcat and Bee Suit. The Dumpster company is loving you especially when you order a 3rd one. Keep up the good work.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh ya... I think we're now on to dumpster number 5?! 🤪 Dumpsters and bobcats are our new best friends!

[@jeffhampton2767]

This property has so much potential. I know you will make it BEAUTIFUL. Put a pond in. ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻

[@kathyscholten5369]

In Texas putting a pond (called a tank in Texas) means an increase on your taxes in the hill country. Check first.

[@kathykeene2092]

Okay, my stress level is normalizing watching your videos. I’m glad the junk is disappearing. Lots of hard work you guys. Great work.

[@pippilongstocking-qs7fm]

Whoever thought homeownership & remodeling was boring, was very mistaken. It's never a dull moment & will give us all years of content & reasons to comment. You two & kicking but & beeeeeeing careful 😉

[@re575817]

It's always an amazing adventure watching the two of you.

[@marieneu264]

12:43 with the scorpions and yellow jackets and probably fire ants and bees, you all should ask your physician to write you a prescription for an epipen.

[@adyferguson3846]

Ohhhhh a yellowjacket is a wasp...they sting for the sake of it.watching you clear your land is exciting.you could have a couple of donkeys and some chickens and build racoon houses.im excited for you.❤❤❤

[@NomadLifeKiwi]

They need some fainting goats too!

[@nicolegodfrey859]

I'm so excited for you two and excited that we get to see you on another adventure.

[@ninaradio]

Y’all have creative ideas for this land! I’m sure you are on top of it, but as the spouse of someone who works for our city’s codes department, I feel like I have to mention that, just in case you haven’t, you should really go into whatever city or county codes and/or zoning office is there and doublecheck what’s allowed. Do not make plans based on what your realtor said is possible. My husband has unfortunately helped way too many people who either assumed or trusted a real estate agent’s assessment and then went ahead and built a big deck or outbuilding that had to come down because it was in the wrong place or wasn’t allowed by the zoning for their lot. And sometimes what’s there when you bought it was allowed because the structures predated a zoning change, but once you tear them down, you are now reset to fall under the newer zoning. The people who sell property rarely keep on top if the little details with that stuff or fully understand how to check into them-they just want to complete the sale. So talk directly to the people who truly know your local code inside and out before you demolish any structures or build new ones!

[@KindCreature1]

There is this guy on KZbin who actually entertains with his Bobcat, doing wheelies on the rear wheels and front too. Even when he works, he has fun!

[@davestevens4263]

Yup ive seen him before & 2,yrs ago he came to help in bigbear ca. with snow removal.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We've done a few wheelies...but totally on accident 🙈 Major props to that guy. Those bobcats are squirrely machines!

[@dorisweems1510]

You guys work so hard, I can't wait until it's all finished. Keep up the good work.

[@carolrosales8382]

Your last statement: "I'm glad we didn't know what we were getting into?" I think you said that on the RV reno! The property looks amazing. Great work!

[@trailingarm63]

Looks beautiful, well done. Nice to see the rain too.

[@sarah-phillips]

Those trees are so gorgeous! I can't get over that tiny house - it looks so wild west-esque. I can't wait to see what you'll do with it, but something themed could be so fun. Like a tiny Victorian cottage.

[@Theendlessadventure]

It's totally like an old, wild west house. We'll likely end up modernizing it, but it could be cool to keep it super rustic. So many decisions to make! Glad you love the trees as much as we do...they're really what sold us on the property 😍

[@exek337]

Keep on keeping on!! Exciting Can't wait to see all you do!!

[@marieneu264]

Oh my goodness, please be careful!!! I know this doesn’t have a blade like a riding lawnmower, but it can still be dangerous. My 2 years old nephew nearly lost his foot last Friday in a freak accident when a riding lawnmower. He was rushed to the hospital and into the operating room. The surgery lasted 7 hours. He had his second surgery on Sunday, his third on Wednesday and his fourth on Thursday. The surgeons agave cleaned out what they could to avoid infection and to prevent amputation, they’ve reconnected every thing they could, they’ve worked on his destroyed Achilles, and so much more. After the Thursday surgery, the surgeons said they are happy with what they’ve repaired and been able to fix so far. The surgical team is now ready to meet with the plastic surgery team to create the best plan for the next steps. They need to take bone and skin grafts from other parts of his tiny two year old body, so they can try to rebuild his ankle and heel. Something life changing can happen in a split second, so always be as safe and responsible as you can.

[@teresarusch9366]

I can’t wait to see what you do with this amazing property. I know you guys will make it look amazing. I am so happy for you. Quick question though. I have been sick and stuck at home and watched a few of your older videos. What ever happened to your friend Matt?

[@jeffhampton2767]

I am proud of both of you! I love this project ❤

[@jeffhampton2767]

The scorpion was great. Very cool 😊

[@MikeDiEva]

Y’all should have kept the bathtub and toilet, filled them with dirt, and planted some flowers 😅

[@CarolPearse-q3w]

Driving that thing looks like a blast! You guys are killin it, great team work, I can see this being gorgeous in the future!

[@robinstroud7941]

I cannot wait to see more.

[@tiffanylyman-olszewski9285]

I give you guys SO much credit--I cannot even fathom taking on that project, LOL! But I know the finished product will be fabulous!! Wondering where Allison's adorbs jumpsuit came from!!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Haha! Like most of our projects, we really don't recommend it - it's been SO MUCH work. But we're suckers for a challenge, so we're excited to see what we can do. And the jumpsuit is from Dickies!

[@tammycruz8189]

It's coming along . And Yes your property is Beautiful... Good Luck My Friends 💓 💗 💖

[@Adventureapproved]

We absolutely love watching you guys settle into Texas! We just did the same thing recently here in the Coastal Bend near Rockport! Really love south Texas!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Well howdy neighbors! We haven't been out that way yet, but we'll have to visit soon. Glad you're loving Texas as much as we are!

[@sharlamccall]

That really looks like a nice “piece of land”. Anxious to follow you on this new adventure.

[@jeffhampton2767]

You are both doing a great job. It is looking more and more beautiful 😊

[@pammicakes41]

You two are super powerhouses! Unbelievable progress. It's going to be fabulous!❤😊

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thank you! Assuming the yellow jackets, scorpions and snakes don't get us, we're really excited to turn this place into something beautiful!

[@theathjr]

Polka and clogs I believe are two different cultures. But nonetheless it was a hilarious bit. You kids are so adventurous and awesome. I cannot wait to see how the place turns out❤️👊

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

You two ROCK! No matter the challenges you face you always succeed! This property when finished is going to look like a cover of Better Homes & Gardens! ~Cara ❤

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thank you!! Honestly, we thought it might have been a lost cause after the first few days of being out there and living amongst all the junk. But now that the land's getting cleared and the house is mostly cleaned out, we're definitely feeling a bit more inspired and seeing the potential with the property.

[@theathjr]

If I had three thumbs they would all be up. Fun video and I wish you the best with all the critters.

[@Theendlessadventure]

👍👍👍

[@sanddollar-ray9125]

Thank you and God Bless

[@badgerpa9]

Finally put that ford to work hauling a real load. Make that truck feel like a real truck. If you tilt the load forward as you lift it will sit level. With snakes in the area you should use the bucket to move things and load not your hands. Get a few cans of wasp spray and some foaming insulation. Spray the wasps and fill their openings with expanding foam. I was stung by the biggest wasp I have ever seen the other day, my hand looked like a basketball. Hope you guys stay safe and healthy.

[@mikemanjo2458]

Yellow Jackets build their nests in the ground (at least the ones near us do). Y'all are really doing a terrific job with the clean up! You are going to have a beautiful property when you are through. You are inspiring me to do some work on our property, too. Can't wait to see what you do with the house! You're great! Thanks for sharing the journey with us! ❤🙏 Jane in SC

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thank you!!!! 🥰 So far we've found 3 different nests in the ground (although we're sure there are plenty more 😅). It's been a crazy learning curve with all the cleanup and creature encounters, but so far we're really enjoying the challenge. Glad we could give you a little inspiration - we just hope your projects aren't quite as harrowing as ours 🤪🦂🐝

[@777Timberwolf]

I live in Alabama and want to give you guys 2 tips... 1. Do you or can you create a safe burning pit? If so, that's how I get rid of unwanted tree branches, leaves and so forth. 2. you know the lubricant stuff to spray on squeaky joints? that lubricant spray can eliminate wasps and their hive home. P.S. wasps are mostly found under ground, but others can be found just under any shade awnings and edges of houses. Keep an eye for them cuz I have to for my wife's sake.

[@anthonyhughes369]

I’m loving this house renovation series….I can’t wait to see what you do with the place…This old House better watch out!!!

[@pmc5431]

Polka? The shoes are Dutch and the polka comes from Poland. Fun tie in though with the sneakers.

[@jamesfleming5875]

It looks so much better already,well done👍🇬🇧

[@joedonbaker1673]

Great job! Hang in there. You got this!

[@rachellewidmann3621]

Hey, you two! So much fun joining you on this adventure. You guys always do hard work and make it look far easier than it would be for me!!! Didn't realize anyone thought wheelbarrow was wheelbarrel, but somehow I get it. There are other words like this that have easily mistaken terms or phrases. Can't think of any at the moment, of course. Must be scary, but also so cool to see a scorpion up close. Great job guys! Looking forward to following along on your epic property adventure! ❤

[@airstreamer]

Scorpions, AHHHH! Good job getting all that cleaned up. - Michelle

[@natalia001]

Good job, Kids!!!

[@dragonmac1234]

You're making a good start with the destruction/renovations, I think clearing the land before tackling the buildings is a good idea. We thankfully don't have scorpions in England, but I've heard the smaller ones are potentially more dangerous than their bigger brothers.

[@Beachenseaglass]

Supremely satisfying!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Miko80]

This is so exciting. You are gonna turn your property to become a dream land

[@stargazer5073]

So proud of you!!!!

[@tikaanderson8186]

You should really consider doing the deck and hot tub first. Having somewhere to relax and unwind each night after all your hard work, will make the projects more rewarding and help keep you recharged. I know from experience.

[@egregory348]

Just a hint about the Texas Hill Country, it is incredibly beautiful, but everything there has either teeth, claws, thorns, or a stinger. I suggest you invest in case of Raid Wasp & Hornet and practice your aim. O’, have the neighbors warned you about chupacabras yet?

[@Mel.H_]

This is so exciting❤❤❤

[@shawnsmith5498]

Thank you Allison 💙❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@waytoson]

I just love you 2... you jump in feet first and GO!!! I can't wait to see next video. ❤❤

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Allison and Eric. I could have done with that lifting power when moving house, but my sack cart just got it done before falling to pieces under the strain. I bought the house opposite the one I rented previously.

[@rileymccoy8040]

get some meerkats!! They love scorpions!!

[@Theendlessadventure]

That would be amazing!!

[@andystreet1479]

you are doing a great job clearing the land, and remember safety first when using any equipment. stay safe

[@ariel_at_home]

This is so much work! I can’t wait to see how far you come!

[@barber0611]

looking so much better!

[@BradC44]

Eric dump a cup or two of Sevin dust in the yellow jacket hole. You can buy the dust a Wally world or any home improvement store.

[@elvisneedsboatsbennett2455]

If it makes you feel better, when I was learning about forestry, I was told the smaller the scorpion, the more venomous it is, so big ones are good to find. Also, never leave your shoes outside, they like to crawl into shoes.

[@mickemike2148]

Hey. Eric! Don't drive around with the bucket up high. You may tip over.

[@katyainslie761]

Being a southerner, it’s WHEUH BURRAH, so the answer is I say neither of those 😂

[@Theendlessadventure]

🤣

[@geoffstainforth352]

Great Video Guys ! Great adventure !

[@angielover100]

We were wondering, did you have anybody come take soil samples from areas around where all of the garbage is dumped? If the disgusting people left all of the garbage strewn about, who’s to say they didn’t dump motor oil, paint, chemicals, herbicides, etc etc etc over the land? I would be super concerned about that.

[@jasonrueschman1590]

Hope you both are having an incredible day I just bought a house get to move in this week I'm so excited💯💯💯💯💯👋😀👍

[@traciannveno]

I thought it was wheel barrel but I say it like wheel barrow. I am so surprised how fast you’re going. Tons of progress!!

[@angiehogan7718]

Amazing work so far I will look forward to the next video 😎😘

[@joedonbaker1673]

That property warrants a sub-compact tractor. I have a JD 1025R with a front end loader (FEL), Backhoe, flail mower, pallet forks, and wood chipper. The things I've accomplished with this tractor is nothing short of amazing.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh boy...we're really considering investing in a big, beefy machine like that. The bobcat was amazing, but having something more versatile with different attachments would be a game-changer! Good to know that tractor's worked well for you.

[@lindashoemaker8940]

Good Morning Eric and Allison have cleaned up after 4 floods stung by swarm of yellow jackets you guys are going strong carry on cheers from New Jersey😘🌿🌸☕️☕️🍺🍺

[@jeanjessup8375]

You are like the "Simple Living Alaska" only in Texas! Congrats on your new home. Looking forward to what it will become.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

My belated father in law wore his clogs all the time when Gardening 😜 Clearing the Ground wauw just how much room you have 😅 eek those wasps,scorpions 😱🫣 Not for me . Looking forward to hearing your plans for the Building , succes take care 🥰

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

LOL to this day I say "wheel-barrah" for some reason🤣 This re-no chapter in your life is so fun and exciting! Already can't wait for your next vid🥰

[@francesca0276]

Well I’m so excited for you!! This is a whole new adventure!!

[@tmc200527]

American hobby collecting half used paint in the cellar. I just spent $37 dollars on those paint solidifying additives so I could get rid of 17 cans of old paint that had accumulated over the years.

[@dianesilverstein6475]

Face of terror!!😅😅😅 A puck of pain!! 😂😂😂 Too funny! You're making so much progress!! Congratulations!❤

[@timworsham2471]

Yeah, I wasn't even scared. That's why I screamed like a little girl.😂😂😂

[@tx914runer]

I was born and raised in Austin. I lived there for 38 years until I moved to the PNW 3 years ago. I can tell you this in Texas what doesn’t kill will continue to try to kill you. Have fun with those yellow jackets.

[@la154]

I love that you are out in Wimberly! It is SO beautiful there! I know I'm going to offend some native Texasans but as far as I'm concerned the hill country is the ONLY place to live there!

[@lonia.5283]

Your videos are way too short.They are so entertaining and funny!😅❤

[@kenmcfeely8953]

You guy’s are having way too much fun there 😅 Love it!

[@82mabli]

Respect that you got Gießwein as a sponsor, didn't think that german companies work with you.

[@Inge.Borthne]

Dry jokes never get old.😂 Looks like you made some progress on the project. I am looking forward to the next update.👍😉

[@cglover1339]

Check with the local vector control in your area. Here, they come out to your property and eliminate ground nests for free

[@cardiac71]

Be careful with the scorpions. Always check your shoes before you put them on.

[@chaebaker3012]

I hope you guys set-up your own power grid because in the winter lately, Texas as not been able to provide utilities during winter storms.

[@kathyscholten5369]

And water lines aren’t put in deep enough to avoid freezing. We use rainwater catchment and when all our neighbors water lines were cracked and water turned off, we still had water. We were prepared. Waterlines went across driveways and people were driving over them to leave their property. Crystal Clear has been a nightmare. Not far from you.

[@p3147-u9d]

Bees = Useful little critters we all love / Wasps = Pointless angry teenagers

Exactly!!!! 😡

[@gailstanley7375]

i love that allison isn't afraid to do pretty much anything

why because she's a woman?

[@suemeyer7551]

Pro tip for flying stingy things....super strong hairspray...preferably aerosol.

[@AFluidRealiTea]

You could conceivably have a wheel barrel carried inside of a wheelbarrow, but make sure there is no scorpion on the handle or we'll really have a wheal barrow.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Niceeeee 🤣

[@andreagoodman1636]

😂 to yellow jacket run! I really hope y’all got a really good deal on that property because man!

[@moonpie1616]

Shame that Bobcat did not come with a grapple on it... I think y'all are doing really well...😅😊😅
