GETTING STARTED ON THE WORK AT THE COTTAGE & FIXING ISSUES

This place certainly is a beautiful spot but it does require a large amount of work to get ready on the inside but mainly on the outside. Time is ticking!

You’re a prime example for working hard & building the best life for you & your family. I applaud you. It’s refreshing to see you instead of all the craziness going on in the world today. Take care. Stay safe

Hi, Bear Hill (thats the official name) was always a challenge! I got another surprise for you! Do you remember the bad hurricane Juan? Hi hit in September 2003 as a hurricane category 3. He split the nicest Pine Tree around the lake in front of the Log Home! We didn’t wanted to loose them. So I got way high up in the tree and fastened him together again. And find out; 19 years later it still holds after many, many storms and tons of snow!😁 Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪☘️ Bobby

[@workplaytv]

Hahaha oh yeah I seen the strap there the first day we looked at the place. It’s still holding strong!

At your house, at the cottage or at a cell tower site. It makes great entertainment and the difference between start to finish is always amazing. Thank you for sharing it all with us.

[@Dave.C937]

Watching all the way from Australia, i can"t fathom how you guys handle all of that snow & ice. I just never see it here. I suppose we have massive bushfires to deal with instead. Love you're videos. Keep them coming. Best wishes from down under.

You are amazing. I see why some people were afraid of the work the property needs. You were Born to Own the land. It's just so exciting to see it come into it's own. And Opinion"s are like Ass Holes, everyone has One!! I now can't wait for your Videos!! They are EPIC. OH YOUR DOG'S ARE SO INCREDIBLE 😍 My girl friend and I were laughing about how they match the Cottage! Those dog's are in Heaven being able to run around there. I crack up when you call Tony.

Great equipment. Makes the job a little easier. Thanks for taking us along. Take care. Stay safe😄

[@livefreeordie5534]

Clean your woodstove flues or pipes yet ? I did that for 5 years. Learned from the best. Usually no need to disconnect them inside the cottage. Take the cap off the top above the roof if possible and sweep it down into the stoves with the air intakes closed. Wrap the "cold" stove with an old blanket to hold the very fine ash down, assuming you don't have a professional vacuum. If you have a pro vac, you can sweep upward then clean the soot and ash from inside the stove. Hopefully the baffles are easily removed to gain access to the pipes from the inside of the stoves. KZbin may show you how to remove your baffles. You could also hire a pro chimney sweep of course since good brushes and rods are kind of expensive, unless you already have them. Good luck.👍👍

[@sharonmiller6436]

The plan was to clean the chimneys before lighting the fires on the first day at the cottage.

[@auntielyn]

As you’re working your magic with that machine, the saying/song that ran thru my head was “Shave and a haircut… two bits’”. Lol great job!

[@rustyramblings5807]

The machines are awesome.Plus your skill in sing them.Going to be beautiful .

[@CCscott]

The mulching to the music was very calming! Good touch! 👍🏼 Can’t get over the amount of groundwater! I’d think that helped with the stump ripping.

[@sharonmiller6436]

I think it was primarily rain just running downhill over the frozen ground. That's the problem with lots of rain when the ground is frozen. Things flood that might never in warmer weather.

[@darlaballenger2357]

Seems like that property has some secrets you haven't found yet.... Maybe underground cave with water. There is a lot more there then rain and snow. Time will tell. I love watching you run the weed eater. You and yours be safe.

[@lynnesherwood3748]

My thinking is that you need to move to the cottage and rent out the homestead, make it a bnb. I love the cottage and the grounds.

[@IndigenousIndianLady65]

Having a cabin off grid is a blessing! That steel pipe might be blocked up.... Thanks for showing us!

[@sharonmiller6436]

Having the right equipment to hand and knowing how to use it is a definite bonus. It sure beats having to hire someone to do the job. 🙂

Howdy ! Looks like you should scope out the auction for a small 14 , 6 wheel drive with back rippers. It wouldn't take long shaping that road with that. Great for snow too ! Lots of work you have ahead of you. It's been raining and snowing over here also. Roads are like skating rinks. I had to chain up 3 times in one day. Thanks for the vid! Be well.

watching this again.. haha, even shook the dirt off after you got it out : )

[@pvjohnson52]

Good job.

[@tabriff3832]

Don’t know if you have a stand alone shredder? You could shred branches and brush, and spread it over the ground you’ve been stumping and working on. I think there’s a ‘feel good’ factor to it. Shows you the progress you’re making, and you don’t have to wait for nature to do its bit. Loving the cottage. Takes me back to when I was maybe 10. Family friends had a cottage on a lake in Halliburton Ontario. The best spot on the lake, without a doubt.

[@wiebkescantick947]

This is exactly the type of property my son and I want. You are so blessed.

It is so satisfying to watch the changes made with fun machines!! It HAS to be 1000 times more satisfying to actually be planning on the fly’ and making the changes. It would be very hard to move slower for any reason when you can visualize and know what the end result will be. Also it is a big deal knowing you have your friends and experienced teams who can help if you find yourself in a ‘pickle. 😉

[@neilthompson9270]

Wow, anything is possible with the correct machinery. 👍🏻 You make it look so easy?? One question, what do you do with the stump waste once it’s up out of the ground? Do you burn it, or cut it up with a chainsaw? Very intrigued to know? Here is Scotland, on Estate Landrover roads, we put in wooden u-shapes storm drains, which run across the roads at intervals, and this helps to drain water off our roads, and prevents water from simply running down the roads, washing out the gravel/hardcore surfaces. A friend of mine, refuses to do this, and their road, regularly gets washed out on one side every winter. It is a nightmare and makes visiting them with a normal car, very difficult. They share the road with two other property owners! Guess that, getting them to share the cost is the real problem? However, if they were not so stingy, and counted up the cost of repairing large sections of their road yearly, the storm drain option would be cost effective. As the old saying goes, “you can take a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink?” Great to watch you doing stuff around your property. Keep up the good work and take care 👍🏻😁

[@workplaytv]

Hahaha that’s all true. I will bring in a tandem and we haul away to a dump site. Typically someone who has a section of low land they are looking to build up.

I know things are done differently depending on location and equipment but if you are going to remove the trees and stumps then why not push the trees before cutting?... that way you have the leverage of the tree to to help remove your stumps.

Great vid. You at least show the reality of living in a wood. Controlling nature is something most dont even think about. It's coffee overlooking the lake never the road being washed away or needing to cut trees. Not even mentioning the cost as most definitely won't have the heavy equipment you already have.
