Welcome to Tiny Lost Creek (TLC) Homestead where we are trying to make an enjoyable place for for us to work our traditional day jobs remotely using Starlink while enjoying the creations God has provided for us. Taking a piece of neglected land and converting it to something nice is no easy chore and has required everything from both a traditional tractor and a Ventrac, along with all those attachments, through chainsaws and pole saws and other things we simply do not realize we need yet. You can get ideas from us as we clean the land, construct buildings, work the driveways and paths, plant fruit/nut/decorative trees, prepare gardens and get places setup for livestock.
Accomplishing all these tasks has proven to be a challenge and we will share what has worked, what has not worked and what plans we have as we continue the journey we started over a decade ago. This land has come a long way since we started and it has a long way to go before it can provide a sustainable way of life.

that drive way wont be there for long
I am not sure what part you mean but time shall tell. I am taking a guess you mean due to the edges and the drop ... and if that is the case I am not concerned. Not the first time I have had that steep of a bank, all the rocks and clay hold things nicely. Besides, this is not the finished product but nearly a phrase in making drive as wide as possible. Dozer will make edges less steep at the end of all this :)
Tell us what you did with it. How did you get it back to normal
I just let it sit until summer. Sadly the oil was useless for me as I had planned. Lesson learned -- keep a bottle inside the house just incase :)
Things are really going to start moving at a quick pace now. I like the extra T wall and having the retaining walls poured at the beginning of the project not trying to engineer it after the fact. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build.
I am trying to edit more vids to upload. I actually deleted a few days instead of uploading since the changes were not drastic enough for me to think worth while BUT ... I hope walls are poured in 3-4 days! Getting closer.
So much work to get to concrete work. It all looks great and the driveway will be much more accessible not only for the house but for everything that comes after it. Great update.
Thanks! Since we have had this property for 12ish years we drive in and find the changes hard to believe :D
Man oh man, what ton of work on that driveway and it looks amazing! All of the red clay and rocks and explosives?!
I was worried we would need to use explosives, it was listed as a possibility. Thankfully we did not need any as that would ahve raised my costs pretty high.
Hi, i was wondering if you'd recommend that i get a dutch shepherd, i can't choose between dutch shepherd and German shepherd. 😊
wow, that is a hard question :) Yes: if you have time to work with the dog, room for it to run and if you have the patience of Job! I have over 80 ac of land and go to training once a week with Meka. She is the best dog I ever had. If you want to understand why I say what I say watch this video * ua-cam.com/video/Gmdcw2YVoxs/v-deo.html This is a typical day with her. She is akin to drinking a case of sugar infused energy drinks and then trying to sit still to watch a movie! Now, if you can handle all that for the next 10-13 years ... I cannot recommend a duchie enough. This one follows me everywhere, velcro dog is an understatement.
Your video was truly a waste of time you did not show anything. Anybody interested? Do not watch this one on learning how to replace your drive belt on an RZT.
Thank you for documenting the step by step process. This is interesting.
Ours does it too❤
This is a sky trim or a jraff im an operator it's boom goes 75 ft some are smaller 60 57 he's kinda moving slow you can bounce the boom make it swing up and down cuts way faster
Nice. How long did it take. What settings did you have it at.
Have you tried storing it and rehydrating it? Been making freeze dry taco meat, had good luck there, good luck with sour cream, mixed results with shredded cheese. But looking for more things to add to the meat to make a taco bowl to store back for camping or radio trips (put the sour cream and cheese in separate mylar to rehydrate cold or sprinkle on the taco bowl).
Looks like you have a 50/50 mix of rocks and clay. The driver is looks good but it’s literally tons of work! I would be concerned about how rain runs off.
I have many many many rocks, if only there was a way to make money from rocks without destroying my place :) Rain is always something I am dealing with on my driveway. Grand total I have about 1/2 mile of driveway and there are spots where I get ruts over time. Typically I need to touchup about once a year, or two. You are right tho, if left unchecked I will get big tire swallowing ruts in my drive.
That’s not a Dutch shepherd, that’s a tree fairy!!! Too funny, love it!!
She is FULL of energy and even when she is giving me extra work she is fun. I will say this is my first duchie and I think I'll have this breed from here out. They are a TON of work but awesome dogs. I have NOT trained her for bite work but I am pretty confident from how she acts that if someone threatened me she would react. You do need to watch this breed for overworking themselves. Food and water are not the first things on her mind when outside. I am trying to train her to "water" means take a drink. I have hopes that once my house is further along to work with my trainer for search and rescue. My previous dog was SAR but he liked cadavers a bit toooo much so we were never deployed :)
I thought these dogs were used to guard sheep, or other small animals. What are these 2 doing? Dogs bred to work and do not have work get depressed. 😮😮
@lindaarnold5683 these 2 live in a 5ac fence pasture with sheep, goats and pigs. They are young still and their main goal is to make sure the coyotes, bobcats and such stay away from my animals 😀
Great video! For the corner posts they stayed until the concrete guys got there and they asked me to choose the one that would not move, the rest shifted a little to make things square. I appreciate all the work being done on the driveway, there will be a lot of big machines visiting and your work will make things go much more smoothly. Thanks for bringing us along!
You are most likely correct on the pick a corner comment. But, I was not asked, they just dug away.
Good luck man... about to start a similar project at my place.
This is sure turning into a journey. Progress has mov ed along faster than I can edit videos. We get the footers poured in two days! I am excited. I hope yours goes smoothly. Keep an eye on what I am doing and checkout North of 44 Degrees for his build process. Then you can do even better, third time is a charm they say :-)
ah, that was my Dutch Shepherds name Mika, I miss my girl!
Awww, sad when they leave us, for any reason. I wonder, was your Mika as crazy as mine is? :D
Pallets are usually pressure treated and therefore toxic. I don’t think you should let a dog chew on them
I struggle with her chewing everything. The first trip to the vet with her at 10 weeks old my vet said "ohhh, this is a mouthy breed, you better get her good training!" He was spot on. She is not happy unless she is either chewing / destroying something or being worked.
😂😂😂😂
Oh my what big ears you have ......
The better to hear you with 😂
👎🤮
So I'm not alone my Dutch chews on rocks too 😂. Gorgeous dog Sir!
I am trying to break her of that habbit but she is crazy for rocks. Right now I have a house build going on and rocks everywhere as the excavators are digging, she is in hog haven. I am worried about her teeth. My wife has already told she cannot have titanium implants :)
That’s good!
Thanks!
When I see prep work like what you’re doing I understand why my guys where laughing at my install Good sized road in Wide flat driveway that only had 4 small trees to remove and lots of room to park house pieces and a gigantic crane It’s going to look great once it’s done and you’ll get great use out of the driveway too! Looking forward to day 6!!
This is a journey for sure. I need to edit and upload a few more days as we just finished day 15 yesterday. This look way different since day 5 :) I have had this driveway for about 12 years. Over time I have done little things myself to make it better but never even close to all this work. They dug over 2,000 yards of dirt for the house, most went on the entrance -- give you an idea of how drastically different that is now!
@@tlchomestead I have to remember to watch your shorts!!!! 🤔 You do a lot more with the short format videos than I do. I'll get caught up later this evening.
@Northof44Degrees-rj5wt i do more of the shorts because they are easier. I'll get my long vids edited someday soon. I am getting close to where the mad dash will be on hold wai5ing for cement to dry 😅
Must be paying him by the hour and not by the day bc he's slow AF 🫢
I cannot speak to speed of his work, I can say when I dug the existing wallow which is 1/4 the size it took me over an hour, by hand. He dug each of these ones in under 5 minutes, made me happy :)
Does it dissolve as quickly as the baby melt away yogurt they sell for baby first finger foods?
Where did you get this gasket
I was lucky, and careful when taking apart. The gasket was from the initial pump cover. I cleaned it up and re-used. So far no problems doing that for me.
i hate to be one of those guys to talk crap on videos but id like to offer a suggestion. if youre worried about the max lift height of your bucket you could always weld a hook on inside or backside of the bucket so you dont have to lift so high up.
My concern was more about umm ... depth? How far into the bed of my truck my little tractor can reach with the bucket. I could not reach the hitch from install location with my bucket. I have since gotten a pair of forks for my tractor so I'll bet they reach, nto tried yet so who knows :)
Great idea for back up power. Would be interesting to see if some Harbor Freight solar panels would extend the EcoFlow life.
I have a 100w briefcase solar panel I tried. I'll have to post a follow up vid but basically it turns out the EF delta 2 has a minimum required supply of power. My little panel must be right on the edge. Full sun and I got a slow charge, any clouds and it quit charging. My briefcase panel measured at 125w / 4.6amp open load. Now, the EF does state there must be a charge controller between the unit and the panel. I do have 4x 400w panels in storage which last I tested those they are 12amp each. The EF has a max of 15amp so they should be ok. More projects for someday where there is time :)
Definitely feeling the love!!! Thanks TLC, I'll be watching closely to see what I can learn!
It might be the other way around, you re ahead of me in this process so I been trying to learn from you :) I have 3-4 days worth of vids I need to edit but it has been busy with everything going on. I may just skip and have a "here we are now" type of video. Kind of like your Catch Up video. Only issue with that is my wife wants everything documented ... All I need is time!
WAY TOO CROWDED IN THERE, USE COMMON SENSE.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
yup, lessons learned for a first try
Is that a spare metal strip?
Yup! Kind of nice the included a spare. I have not required it yet :)
Use some Ultra Grey automotive silicone on the gas cap. Works Good ,
I'll have to try that. Thanks!
Sooo exciting!
All the changes to driveway and seeing a giant hole in the ground is really getting us excited!
My friend's German Shepherd would carry around a basketball .So much that his K9 teeth were rounded off!
I am always worried about her teeth :(
I'm so jellious, But I'm Soo happy 4 u bro!
Thanks! Lots of progress I have recorded and hope to upload some more videos soon! The driveway looks way different and I have a huge hold on my top pasture.
Nothing you did is wrong if the clips holds the fence. People love acting like what they do is right, and everyone else who does something different is an idiot.
Thanks for that! I have installed many more clips since this video, we will NOT say how many :) Now a days I take the small side of the clip and just use the ranch pliers and crimp it, then wrap the longer tail side like in this video. Saves me some time and so far those clips are holding sooooo ...... **shrug**
Would a donut work? That way she can't bend to reach and lick but she can eat and drink with less mess and her ears will be out too (I have donut shame boys 😂)
I meant to reply sooner but I dont have one to try. She was insane but smart enough to learn I did not want her to lick and amazingly she quit licking.
Wow !!!!!!!!!! Finally, thank you so much for sharing the video !!!!!!
I hope it sparks some ideas for you :)
Typical Dutchie LLLLLOL
She is a handful for sure!
This was our Dutchie welcome home present tok! lol he got bored with it ugh…. Sucks cuz not cheap lol
Yeah, she got tired of it as well so I hid it for a while and tried again. She seems toi really focus on thinghs she can tear up like jute tubs and firehose type toys :)
My new elite 54 has reaper tires. Now I know why😁
I had to look up what repair tires looked like and I like them! I will say that when I am making sharp turns I have to be a bit careful to slow down a bit you I can tear uptime grass with the ones I put on :)
@@tlchomestead yes ZT are new to me and same thing I try to make a sharp turn and think why aren’t I moving and I look back and all the grass is torn up from the tires spinning. Lol. Learning curve. 😁
Bucket is wrong tool for the job. Way too small. You need pallet forks.
Back when I was doing this job all I had was a bucket. I have since bought some forks and love them.
I recently got the 682 with lift kit. although it looks cool, It is a total pain in the rear to hook up. I get that many people tore off their kickstands by forgetting to lift them before operation, but the whole pin dance you have to do with the 682 is an engineering fail in my opinion. cutting performance is the same. I wish I'd kept my 680 toughcut
I love the tough but and never had another model to compare against and since I am new I have to assume my lack of experience causes my slowness. The pin dance as you call it has not bothered me since I have never known another option :) I will say that lifting the deck has come in super handy to get things (barbwire and such) off the spindles.
Bread crumbs yum
😋
Back in the 90s, I used to have a backpack fire torch launcher. It’s sprayed water. I was the coolest Kid on the black.
Sounds fun ... errr, dangerous :D
Why not trickle charge the bed up ?
I was trying o get the battery out to go to town "quickly" and my initial thoughts was this would be a quick video. As long as this took a trickle change would have been just as quick and a lot easier.
Had the same issue. I literally replaced the belt so many times i lost count.t. it was more the smaller belt (pto deck side) I had issues with. The dealer didn't have a belt with that is a bunch of shit. Left me stranded with no belt. Had to go to tractor supply to get a belt.
I will say that this year, 2024, I have not gone through a single belt yet. I'll bet I lose 2 in the next week now. I think the difference is in 2023 I was doing a LOT more clearing of my land. Many 1-2" trees and super thick brush. Later this fall I plan on doing a good re-cut of the areas I cleared back in 2022 when this machine was brand new and I was eating belts like ice cream. That will be a real test.
Unidentified low flying object (ULFO)!
LOL. It does look like a ball of light!
