Freedom Acres
United States
Приєднався 13 лют 2023
I'm Kym, the Rebel, & with my sidekick, Gracie the Yorkie, we are on an extraordinary journey to create a life of freedom & sovereignty on raw land in the heart of Florida. During the pandemic I intuitively knew it was time for a change, so I traded my ocean front condo life for a 4x4 Jeep, raw land & an adventure like no other.
Follow along as I share my very real story from a cushy condo to 10 acres of undeveloped land. It includes clearing wooded land, navigating permits, figuring out utilities, a tiny house, and overcoming challenges I never imagined. My journey is nothing short of remarkable & blessed.
Welcome to my world, featuring Loren the Garden Guru, Birdie the Drone, & Athie the JEEP Gladiator! My lifelong vision is to create a safe, sacred space for a community of creative women, We Artistic Women. At 65+, I’m committed to making this dream a reality.

Investigating the Other 7 Acres of Undeveloped Land After the Hurricanes - I Love this Property
Oct 27, 2024. I am taking you on a walking trip with me to wander down the windy paths in the 7 acres, out of the 10, that haven't been developed so we can see what damage might be there from the hurricanes. Things are pretty grown up from no attention but no real damage. I am blessed! I love this land so much!

Exciting End of Day Report 10-27-24 - Lots of Hand Clearing Today and Updates on Movement Happening

Oct 27, 2024. I was clearing clearing clearing today with my hand brush cutter. Just trying to get all the Summer growth managed along my paths. Whats happening next: We finally have everything needed to go back to the county with the architect's certification to try to avoid ripping down sheet rock throughout my shipping container home. We also have a date when the siding, decking, etc. will b...
Exciting End of Day Report 10-20-24 - Finished Getting Wood & Siding Inside Container & Hope to Move
Переглядів 13814 днів тому
Oct 20, 2024. Today was just a continuation of the lifting and hauling I began on Wednesday with the siding & wood for the siding frame. The wood was not a problem, just tedious a piece at a time. The fiber cement siding was heavy & awkward beyond me so today my friend & GC, Nair, came up & we tackled it together until we got it in the storage shipping container. Now it is ready when it is time...
The Fiasco of Getting the Wood & Fiber Cement Siding into the Storage Shipping Container
Переглядів 25014 днів тому
Oct 16, 2024. So my deliveries of wood for the framing for my siding & the siding was delayed by Hurricane MIlton. I ran up here mid-week to receive the deliveries - at least that is all I thought I was going to be doing. What a FIASCO! Neither company would deliver their loads into the storage shipping container (which they both said they would & we paid for). That left me to try to do it myse...
Florida Post Hurricane Milton Update Complete with Some Opinions & Tons of Gratitude & Prayers

Oct 13, 2024. Just an update, after Hurricane Milton, from where I currently live in Saint Petersburg, Fl & the property 100 miles north. I am feeling so blessed & grateful as both of these locations are without any real damage ... trees down and just minor inconveniences like a lack of electricity. Funny how these kind of disasters really gives us an opportunity to check our priorities in life...

Good morning, you have some wonderful property. I hope you get to do all you want with it. You must have some fun wildlife there.
Thanks, Jake ... I bet I do have some fun wildlife in here :-)
@@freedom-acres Just keep an eye on Gracie as you walk around.
Hello Kym. It is so good to see and hear from you today about how things are coming along. Lets hope the county come though for you in a week of so. I love following your progress. Gracie is looking good and so are you. Always thinking about you two and the good progress you are making for your dream.
@jake52072552 - Thanks, Jake - You never fail to cheer me onward! I really appreciate it! Hope you are well as the weather shifts up there in NY :-)
Good morning, so good to see you and that all is well after the storms came through. How nice it was your friend could help you get the siding panels into the storage container. I know you are stronger than you look but don't hurt yourself lifting. I love how you are looking. Good luck with the permits this week.
@jake52072552 - Thank you, Jake! Yes, it was so great to get some help for sure! I am pretty strong but I am also pretty small so I try hard to be mindful not to push the envelope too far LOL
@@freedom-acres Hi yes please be careful when you are there working. I can see you are in wonderful shape.
Absolutely adorable ❤
@SomeGuyThatLikesManga - Heyyyyy ... Thanks ... I let Gracie know you thought so :-)
Wow that was some hard work. You are in such good shape, but please be careful lifting those big sheets. Love seeing how things are coming along.
Thanks Jake! I had to finally leave it for another day! I do have limits LOL.
What a wonderful video and sentiment you put fourth.
@jake52072552 - Thank you so much, Jake.
I'm so glad that you are okay. It is nice to hear about how people have come together in your area. Looking forward to hearing more about your trials with Freedom acres.
@jake52072552 - It has been very moving. I willl be back at Freedom Acres this week :-)
Shes so cute!
@Nvstsvsds - Right??? LOL. I'll let Gracie know you said so! She loves when she is noticed!
The brush sure grows fast.
@jake52072552 - So fast. A brush hog mower is on the wish list so I can get it cut done faster & more frequently once I live there LOL
So glad you are okay after the storm. Gracie will get you home.
@jake52072552 - Thank you so much, Jake! She did LOL
So glad to see that your area made it through the storm. Gracie is looking so good. Yeah the strike can be very bad. Keep being positive
@jake52072552 - Staying positive for sure! Life will keep Life-ing. We get to keep living while it keeps Life-ing. The strike is officially on. We bought all the lumber & materials, for the rest of the projects for permitting, to be delivered this Sunday ... hopefully we beat the crunch that might happen! WhoooooooooHooooooo!
@jake52072552 - I let Gracie know you thought she looked good! She appreciated that :-)
@@freedom-acres Yes who knows how long it could last.
Your smile eyes perks 😍 look great for your age
@aaronjames5423 - Thanks ... I think LOL
Honey bees 🐝 look good😊
@aaronjames5423 - Honey bees are on the "in the future" list!
Cute little yorkie
@DaleWells-d6q - Thanks for that, Dale! I'll let her know you said so :-) She is quite the amazing creature!
Wow that was a lot of work. And it does look very hot. You need an out door shower.
@jake52072552 - LOL ... that outdoor shower is going to be the first thing I build once I get there!
I sure hope that things come together for you this week. It is always nice to see you. I hope the new storm stays away from your area.
@jake52072552 - Thanks, Jake! I sure hope it does too!
As an Alaskan with a well I can guarantee you that bald eagle taste more like spotted owl than chicken.
@nosoupforyou4307 - Thanks for letting me know ... now I will never need to question that! LOL. Must be amazing in wild Alaska!! Love your doggies!
@@freedom-acres Definitely love it here, and the dogs make it all that much better 👍🏾🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Good luck and be careful.
@jake52072552 - Thank you, Jake! I appreciate your well wishes!
Hi and good morning. Even getting little things done is a good day. Keep pushing buttons it could be the only way to get things done on time. Gracie looks like she is having a nice time. I will keep following your progress. See you again next week.
@jake52072552 - Thanks, Jake! One great thing about getting older is that we learn that the only way to go is forward LOL. Take care!
@@freedom-acres I agree. Like you I do speak up more now that I'm older....lol
@jake52072552 - LOL, Good for you! Yep, there is something to this "getting wiser" that is very true!
Progress Baby! Freedom Progress! Steps…. You look so relaxed…
@HeatherHavenwood - Thanks, Heather!!! YES, Progress!
You are making great progress. Woooo baby. I wish you the very best with your work on the PHD. I'm sure this will come to be very soon. I send you love and light. Looking forward to your next video.
@jake52072552 - Thanks, Jake! LOL about the PHD! I always appreciate your on-going support and grateful for the love & light!
You’re so much like me😊
@suecleveland3226 - Hi Sue, from what I've seen in your comments I suspect you are correct ... kindred spirits!
Ahhhh so sweet!
@suecleveland3226 - Thanks, Sue ... I was soooo thrilled to spot her little wings sticking out of the sand. I had been worried about what the heck had happened to her! LOL Crazy!
Who delivered your container
Hi @dylandedmon5743 - I bought the container from from Eveon, it came from Tampa, Fl & they used a transport company named D&L Transport.
@@freedom-acres thanks I'm just wondering because I have sandy soil. Doesn't look like these guys had an issue with yours
@dylandedmon5743 - Hi Dylan - OMG this sandy soil is a pain!!! Here is a number for D& L Transport - 888-222-8960 - I do not know if they only do contract work for Eveon but, they were great! On time, did the job & the guy was amazing & made it work "no-matter-what". Hope that helps you :-)
@@freedom-acres thank you! I will see
I can’t wait to see what you do with it! Will you move in after you finish or work on it while living in it?
@suecleveland3226 - Hi! Sue, I can't move in until after I finally get a Certificate of Occupancy - I WILL be in it as soon as I have that CO. LOLOLOL. I think it will be almost done enough to be livable by then??? Then I can continue to fine tune & do finishing pieces ...We'll see ...
Should have just called it a chicken coup then the county doesn't care what you do with it
@anthonyrodrigues5032 - Thank YOU, Anthony, laughed til I cried on this ... particularly since it is not much bigger than a chicken coop LOLOLOL.
Heck yeah
@Ryan_Songs - Thanks for cheering her on! I agree! :-)
Awesome 👏
@jillcohen544 - Thanks, Jill! Piece at a time it's happening!
That is cool
@HeatherHavenwood - Right??? I love being able to peek at the property at any time!
You are loving there already. Your heart is there. Your body willl be.
@HeatherHavenwood - YES! Soon (I keep telling myself as I keep visualizing it and feeling it)
Wow! That is beautiful 😊
@HeatherHavenwood - Imagine how much can get created still :-)
Love you ❤
@HeatherHavenwood - Thank you for that love! I love you!
If it doesn't leak, I wouldn't seal it. A little air could be a good thing. Although bugs might get in 🤷♀️
@davisbrooks6903 - Thanks so much, Davis! I got that. I will be installing some vents for air flow & to reduce condensation inside. Will know more when I can investigate more! Definitely do not have a fondness for buggies getting in LOL
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now you know the look! LOL
She is the Queen
Absolutely! No question about it!
❤❤❤
Gracie appreciates the love! Thanks!
Whoooo🎉
Indeed!!!! Cheering it on!
Soak it in! You did it
I AM still soaking it in ... & each new small movement now along with it!
Yeah
Thank YOU! Right????
That is a bad ass fan! Love how Gracie is hogging it all
IT IS a BIG A$$ fan & much needed! Thank YOUUUUUUUU! & She is a very smart child!
That is high!
Yep, & I am low ... LOL
Smart 😊 I would have done the same
Well .. that makes me feel better - Thanks!
Ugh 😮
LOL ... Right!
Just use actual ratchet straps and hooks inside the bed like you're supposed to. This is just as bad as not securing your load at all.
@victorandrade7940 - HI! Thanks so much!!! I am learning EVERYTHING as I go & really appreciate any suggestions that come my way! I will take a look & do it like I am suppose to do next time!

@@freedom-acres Thank you
Sending out a path clearing vibe. Surrounding you in light.
@jillcohen544 - Thank you, Jill! That is some powerful vibe & light! I really appreciate it!
Big white letters on the side of that monster! Just a thought, when you paint it, leave some letters, modify some of them, and add where needed to make it say something like "FR ACRES" ❤
@davisbrooks6903 - Davissssss ... You are always thinking creatively, Grrrrl!!! I LOVE IT! Thank YOU!
Keep going! Sending you good vibes. I command and demand what is blocking the completion of Kym’s home
