Day 237 - Welcome Home
We've waited eight months for this day. Finally, we can park the camper on the land, specifically in the shop. This day happened on December 1st. I'm typing this on the morning of December 11th, and we still do not have electricity. We've been powering the camper off a generator, which isn't a huge burden, but we will be glad when we don't have to listen to it nonstop. In real-time, electricity is scheduled to be installed tomorrow or the next day if it's dry enough.
Since moving into the shop, we've had one night when the outside temperature dropped to 19 degrees, but it stayed about 40 degrees inside. Even on the coldest winter days here in Mississippi, I don't see a scenario where it gets below freezing inside.
The current plan (which changes almost daily) is to keep the camper parked in the shop through the cold of winter. Once it starts to warm up, the camper will be moved to behind the shop, and we will work on our second-story lofted apartment inside the shop.
The woodworking side of the shop will be a slow setup process. Of course, we still need electricity. First, I need to figure out a scissor lift situation to install lighting. Then, I could use the lift to collect the dust and electrical drops. At that point, I can move the machines into position.

Day 230 - Mud and Water to The Shop
Переглядів 6 тис.7 годин тому
The clay dirt around the shop is such an annoyance. It looks like I'll be working on it weekly over the winter. We are in the beginning of our rainy season here in Mississippi and the days between the rain just don't allow enough time for the gumbo to dry out completely. I need to keep doing what I can with it and slowly make the situation better. If I could get to a point where standing water ...
Day 228 - Final Shop Build Day + Septic Install
Переглядів 7 тис.День тому
Five guys can build more than a yummy burger. It took this team of five seven working days to build my 40x60x14 shop with a 20x60 lean-to. That's seven days to prep, cut, weld, and assemble the entire structure. No kit to assemble. This was an on-site fabrication job created from just a top-down dimensioned SketchUp drawing. While the shop itself is built, it's far from complete. I had the crew...

THE DAYS OF TARPING ALL OF OUR TOOLS AT THE LAND ARE OVER!!! YESSSSSSS! The roof has been installed, and an empty shell of potential has never looked so good. Soooo good! While the shop builder has one more day to button up the lean-to and trim around the roof, having a dry space to store stuff is a super big deal for us. 226 days of working around the weather where every time we stop we have t...

For the past 7 months, my tractor has been my MVP. Hands down, without question. I bought it new and have 297 hours on it now. It's a Jack of All Trades. I've used it to do pallet fork work, digging, piranha bar digging and tree removal, grapple work, pulling work, wood chipping, stump grinding, trimming lanes with the LaneShark, box blade work, spreading material, and on and on and on. For wha...

Day 2 of the shop build went by fast. Time flies when you're having fun, right?! Man, what a day! The crew worked nonstop and accomplished quite a bit. The roof trusses, roof purlins, and wall gerts went up. While all of this was going on, I further processed the downed pines from previous videos. I still haven't had a chance to move the logs much due to muddy egress paths and giving right of w...
Day 214 - Shop Build Day 1

Finally. Finally!! One more time....After 214 days we have FINALLY reached the 40x60 shop construction phase. The shop is an on-site fabbed red iron welded steel building. This type of structure is extremely common where I live. On day one the crew was able to secure all of the column base plates, cut and weld 7/8 of the main frame columns in place, and assemble the four I beam trusses. Day 1 o...
Day 212, 214 - Driveway Expansion & Seat Time
Переглядів 4,8 тис.Місяць тому
A few little things add up to a lot. As we leave our drought season and enter our usually wet winter, some much-needed attention needs to be paid to the parking area of the driveway. Concrete washout is my next most excellent find. This stuff is relatively inexpensive and GREAT for driveway base material. I think so, anyway. We don't have any major slopes to worry about washing away. It packs l...

A tweaked neck has slowed me down considerably since mid-October. It's the morning of November 7, and as I type this, the neck situation is finally resolving itself. I'm feeling much better and getting antsy about big progress being made. The shop materials have been delivered. However, we've exited our second drought of the summer months and are now at the beginning of our usually wet fall and...

Day 3 or 4 or 16 thousand of working on this space. I have no concept of time anymore. But life is great and they say time flies when you're having fun. Taking down big trees with one of my best friends for the past couple of decades made for such a fun day. If I recall correctly, the final tally was 17 trees. My neck was still killing me from previously stressing it on the tractor with 3-point...
Day 199 - Tree Work Makes the Dream Work

One of my favorite sayings is, "Nothing works unless you do!" Not a single time has my wife complained about this big land adventure being too much work. She never complains. Head down, move forward, and make it work. This day was no exception. Dirty, sap-stained hands are a good indicator of a productive day. We were able to get most of the tree tops chipped and most of the trunks cut into saw...
