ABOUT US: We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our 20s who are currently living on the 3-acre farm in southern Pennsylvania where Alex grew up. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby.
Something that differentiates us from other channels is our transparency on the cost of our projects - there is usually a breakdown right in the description!
We upload a UA-cam video every Saturday night at 7pm EST, and post daily on Instagram and Facebook!

Packer sound effect after about 18mins is classic!
lol glad someone caught that 😆
Love the reverse slow motion on the dozer and dirt.
😂
$10k skiddy is best deal I ever seen
Looks like a nice property, Thumbs up
Thank you!
Nice work. We're in the same boat, had a grader shoot the land and had about a 3ft-4ft drop to the rear of the property. Since our driveway is the high side, we're getting 15 loads brought in to bring up the slope to the driveway. Also have a huge stump/ brush pile hahaha
Wow sounds like you ran into the same problem as us! The 15 loads of dirt will really help. We are still considering potentially bringing in some more dirt to decrease the slope near our future parking pad. I'm guessing your lot is wooded as well?
We had to dig more than 10 septic test pits until we found an area that was suitable.
Wow! Glad you were able to find an area that was suitable! Did you also have a lot of rocks?
You guys should definitely have more subs. Good content. Wish I could buy a skid steer for that much in Aus they are over $50K
Thank you! New ones here are that much too, this one is 15 years old and it’s also a smaller model. Plus it helps that we are friends with the previous owner!
Great job guys! That was a huge stump... How do you have time for all this?? Lol
Thanks so much! It can be hard with working full-time but we’ve been splitting up our tasks after work. Alex typically works on the house project site prep and design work while I manage our chickens, gardens, and house chores. We work a 9/80 schedule at work and the every other Friday off really helps!
