Hey folks is the visual quality good?
No complaints here 👍🏼
@@CCscott ok great I was worried
Visual quality is good 😀
Looks great to me!
Yep all good in australia🤣🤣🤣😉
Even though certain things may have sentimental value to the previous owners, I'm sure they are very happy that you are taking care of the place and doing your best to return it to its original glory.
Having a cabin in the forest is a never ending battle with maintenance. Every time you leave the forest tries to take back its land.
You are fortunate to have all the equipment and the knowledge to keep up with the forest.
Is the video quality good. Doesn’t seem the best on my phone
Quality is good. You are doing a fantastic job I like the other gentleman said..d having a house with lots of trees and on the water dealing with that kind of weather in the winter time it’s a never ending battle.. you just have done a fantastic job.. So knowledgeable.. I am so glad I found this channel it’s so interesting and your attitude and positivity is incredible.. your parents must be so proud of you.
At least remove the stumps when you take out all those trees
Many abandoned homes were people's, families dreams that have became broken
dreams this says a lot about whats going on in America. Right, left, black, white,
straight, gay and everything else you better unite cause they are coming for all
of you. A people divided is easy to conquer but a people united here and around
the world is a force to be reckoned with just keep and hold on to that thought.
You have really done a lot of work on this property. It is really looking good. Would just love to sit on the deck and look at the water.
So hard to get all you want to do finished when you are running a busy business full time, plus being a Dad. You are doing great, it just takes time with a large piece of property. Proud of you my friend.
When you live in places like this, or the Pacific Northwest where I live, you learn to listen for cracking of trees during storms. It happens, no matter how pretty they are, they can be dangerous. People who don't live in these places can't speak from experience. You live and learn. It's looking really good!
I'm so glad this wonderful cottage got a new family that can love it back to life ❤️. It'll be a terrific vacation rental.
Not everyone understands tree life or lives there... Chop down what you need to! There's plenty more lol.
You can't please everyone! It's great to see a video on this cottage again. Stay safe and God Bless!!!
Trees also have a lifespan. When they've reached their end, they start dying. Too bad you don't have a sawmill where you can utilize your own trees to refurbish the place.
The place looks great. You are doing good, hard work.
I think it looks so much better, brighter, more inviting! Yes, lots of work to do. Glad it's you doing it and not me! LOL.
I love how it looks without the trees. You can grow hardwood trees later down the road. I say keep cutting until you're happy that the widow makers are gone. This is your property and you have a family to keep safe from old rotten trees. Don't listen to others and think about what's right for you and yours. 💖
Thank you for maintaining the forest. Remove dead and dangerous trees, making room for new growth. Fire danger is also helped. USA
You are doing a fantastic job! I love how you explain your thought process on what your detailed plan is. You are such a hard worker with an exciting vision! Good luck!!
I’m glad to see you found your GoPro charger!!
Good video brother. Man it looks awesome so far. Select cutting is good for the growth of newer and younger trees. The other property is looking good also especially since the deck is coming along, I like seeing updates on both properties.
The moment you handed over the cheque it became your property, the previous owner started your new adventure but it is now up to you to complete your vision for you and your own. I am sure it will be a magical place where fabulous memories are going to be created- best wishes (and perhaps a jealous twinge) from the uk.
You’re doing such a good job and removing trees is important. Blessings
It really looks nice there. I can't wait to see it after your done with it cause it will be a beautiful place
Hook up to the grid. One time and be done with it. Your generator will make a great back up system. Just my opinion.
You inspired people as far away as me in London to look at such investments . I hope I can do it someday
Do solar on a free standing frame behind the house, so that you can keep some trees between the house and the water
I don't have mixed feeling's. Your the expert. You know what your doing. What I would do. Cut the tree you have to cut. Then replant with tree's.
Please Be very careful at the shore edge with what you clear. Erosion and rising water tables love cleared land.
In the old days we charred the bottoms of tree posts to prevent insect and water rot.
If you had to hire this work done...you'd have broke the bank to get to this point!! And that's not the finished project...it's looking beautiful...and in order to preserve the integrity of all the buildings the trees have to go...I understand...37 fish and all where bass!!! WOW... How many houses are around this lake...?? What a special day for you and your Dad...
Looking forward to seeing more renovations...it all takes just time!!! It's beautiful 🥰
I believe there’s roughly 8-10 on the whole lake. I can only see one.
Hi! I haven't seen a vid of yours in a bit. Love what you've done so far!! Ignore what others say about the trees! I love trees just like the next person, but sometimes, there is no way around the removal AND you can always replant! You're amazing!!! Again, thanks for sharing with us!!! 😊
I believe that things Look a lot Better and Safer, Don’t Worry About what Other People Think!
You don’t have to put solar panels on the roof. You can clear some ground near the house, install your panels at or near ground level. Then run the cables to the cottage. That’ll save you from cutting so many trees down in front of the cottage.
What a beautiful place congratulations on all the hard work . You're a man with the plan . Trying to build a future for your family . 🌲🌲🌲😊👍
If you don't want to cut some of the trees close to the cabin, you could top them so they wouldn't touch the ca in if it should fall. Love what your doing.
Absolutely loving watching your videos. Only found your channel yesterday and have watched 5 or 6 videos so far... The cottage is absolutely lovely. And, what makes me smile most is the effort and hard work you put into all this for your family and you. Reminds me of how hard my own dad worked for us all, and it is a great thing to see. You really are building a wonderful life. Amazing to see 🙂👍
Safety is always the priority. Smart man.😊
Very nice place, and nice to relax... Good job and blessed day to you....
I respect what you are doing to clean up the property and maintaining the trees that you can. I don’t agree with all the negative comments about the trees that you are removing. There are reasons why you need to ignore what people with little knowledge about tree safety have to say. As an electrical employee we had to trim back trees in a neighborhood in order to keep the branches away from the power lines. The residents of the neighborhood raised a stink over having their trees cut back. The leadership and our engineers had to have a town hall meeting to convince people why the work had to be done with no avail. That spring we had an ice storm and most of the trees were lost due to ice weighing down on the limbs . Had we cut back the longer branches as intended most of the trees would have been saved from the ice storm and saved the neighborhood days of power outage.
Looks so much better!! Can't wait to see the finished results!!
I think you did a wonderful job taking some trees down. The place still looks fabulous.
This cottage takes my breath away ♥️
I get the Respect you have for the beauty and age on trees, but truth is, no apologies needed, cause your removals of the old tree near the water is for safety as you said, but it will be beautiful when your done. Bravo
12 years in solar, I would get someone else to come out. I would never I'm my life , suggest to cut all those trees down. With the new high efficiency panels on the market today , we have installed panels in houses with alot more trees than this. Yes some will need to be cut down in the back, but all those trees? No.
It's great what you're doing with the lake house. Looking forward to seeing your progress with the property
Nice to have u back absolutely luv the work on the cottage take care
It’s gonna be a beautiful place when you’re done❤️❤️
I love that you are keeping it as natural as possible!!. Beautiful property 👌
Just a beautiful place, so glad to see you happy and enjoying the natural setting and keeping it for the family. Makes me think about finding a get away place too.
Such a unique piece of property & so beautiful. Wow you have done a lot of work.
Glad to see you back on your channel. Amazing property but you are realistic about a timeline and improvements. Be safe and enjoy it.
Looks way better. Shade promotes mold and fungus growth. Good sun helps keep everything dry and clean...🙂
If that tree fell, it would fall in the water. It’s already leaning out over the water. Such a cool tree.
I’m
Worried about the dead limbs not the tree.
Make sure u check out all the trees trunk that surrounding the cottage.Hit the trees trunk with a solid small wood/branch n hear *the sound it made* .If the sound with *long hollow loud eco* that mean the trunk is rotten beneath n inside the trunk too .U have to *take down that tree* b4 it falling apart.Sharing is caring ✌️
It's strange to me that people think every single tree needs to be saved.
If you ever owned property in this type of area you would understand.
You're right about removing any trees that could damage the house at some point.
As for those two trees next to the one that was already rotten and cut down, did you ever think about cutting them off about a couple of feet above the ground and then making a giant tabletop between them ?
That could be a nice feature when a large group of people is there and want to eat outdoors.
Great idea
Beautiful place you owe no one an explanation that is your property! Be well 🙏☮️🇺🇸
Beautiful Property but a lot of work in the end it will be well worth it
Trees are beautiful but can cause great damage if to close to a building . I love the open view .
Thanks for the update.
Your a smart young man . With the high water table trees do go unsafe and better to take down then have them fall and cost money . Like i have said before do the work now so you and your family can enjoy the place latter ! With the place empty for so long it was unloved now it is starting to look loved and care for. It is had to enjoy the place when you know there is work to be done. Thank for showing us the place , i can see the work and your plains !!!
I think it looks better than it did with all of those trees in front. I wonder if you are planning a children's playground anywhere around the cabin. Swing set, jungle gym, etc. It really opened up the view of the lake.
Sir! You have heaven and to see all the view the love will bring enjoy. You have done so much already and wish you muchlove and blessing on this awesome beautiful land. Fishing for your daily meal.
Hi from New Zealand, where we also say Eh a lot. The people who sold the 'cottage' will be absolutely stoked at how their baby is again being showed some Love, and that must be gratifying cos they obv had shown the place the love it deserves. I trust you have got to know them, or have they commented here as you do your 'progress reports?' I hope the guys health has stabilised too, what a kick in the gut it musta been when they had the long soul search when Dad was initially diagnosed, and eventually reaching the awful conclusion was no doubt a real blow. On the bright side, Dad is still alive so thats something out of the wreck for him and his mrs id imagine. Dad, should by fluke you read my comment, this owner must be just what you hoped for in a successionist to the lovely hide away you and her got up and cracking. Skills to the pair of you, perhaps when its completed and rentable, you and the wifey might like to go stay for a month or so. One just never knows whats around the corner in this dear wee thing we call Life. God Bless to all involved.
I absolutely love this property. All the best to you. 🦋
That first video of this property gave me permanent jake leg. It was that good.
You are so lucky to have found such a beautiful property. Love it.
CLEANED OUT AND DRYING UP SO THINGS WILL NOT ROT, YOU JUSTCLEANEDOUT THE MOSQUITOES CLUB HOUSE. ONE POINT TO CONSIDER, SLIDING THAT BOAT LAUNCH TO THE FAR RIGHT. AWAY FROM THE PORCH LEST SOMEONE LESS EDUCATED MAY TEAR OUT THE CORNER OF YOUR PORCH. YOUR HARD LABOR IS LOOKING SO NICE! GREAT JOB! 😉😊
Ended abruptly. Had me wanting more!
The property looks totally amazing, you have done a fantastic job, congratulations 😊👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hi, bud,
It's been a while yet what a great job!!
Thanks for the sharing.
Oh, and I can see your vision... you're a hard worker! It will get done... I'm sure your family sees the vision too! 😊
Thanks for the update man I was started to wonder where you were.
You have to create some chaos to find the beauty. I am a tree hugger having said that I can see where you've put so much thought into what ,where ,and why you are cutting and it looks beautiful.
The road much applause for as wel
When you do the drive way in front will you replant theb7shes somewhere else. Thankyou. Blessings ✨️ to you 🙏 ✨️ and yours 💕
Well keep up the good work and it will be what you want it to be. Looks good for the amount of time you have spent on it so far.
You’re doing a phenomenal job. I live by myself in my house in Florida and there’s always something, always! I pride myself that I can do most of the small stuff but I just can’t do the big stuff anymore. The last thing I want to happen is for it to start falling apart. I noticed some of my facia when I was weed eating the other day it’s starting to droop like there might be something in there making a nest. yikes!
It’s been awhile since I have seen you. I lost your station. God bless you and all the work you have done🥰😍🇺🇸😎😘 I have subscribed,
Just a thought. I am a huge fan of the composite deck boards. I lived with them for 2 years, and they are so much nicer to walk on and remove snow from. I would also say go with the clips to secure the boards to the deck (instead of just screwing thru the board).
They do not splinter, rot or need staining or painting.
You were the right guy to buy this beautiful land & 'cabin'. I can see your vision as you explain it. It will be beautiful!
It’s a big difference. There’s always debris before the beauty. But I love how the trees around the cabin are gone. Like the metal roof. It’s coming along. Cheers🍻
Get electric, I like see the trees thinned, Especially around the living areas. Close to the river. I’d like to have a little bench or chairs and table to be able to sit right by the water.
I live in southeast Louisiana. I showed no mercy getting trees taken out; anything that could touch the house if came down in a hurricane. After the last couple of years we had, especially with Ida last year, I’m glad I did. We still have plenty of woods on the property.
Sir.your family and home comes first.you do what you have to do.stay safe.
This reminds me of our house in Maine. Every time you turned around a new project would come up. Never ending battle haha place looks great
You have a great cabin! Your vision is great!.
I like trees, too. Though not the dead ones or those too close to the house. Thennnn, there are those trees that must be thinned to allow the roots of the good older trees to obsorb the rain water. No competition.
He will do well, for his land. And us.
I agree! Take your time with this gem of a property!! Its such a beautiful property!! Dont go Solar it's been proven that those panels end up being toxic to the earth because you cant recycle the panels. You have made alot of progress!! Looking Great!!! Looking forward to watching your progress and transformation of this property!!! ❤❤❤❤
Take the time to get it done the way you want, don’t worry about anyone else! It belongs to your family and you are the one! Enjoy the beautiful place ! Stay Safe
You are doing really well considering full time work and the other properties that need “stuff” done…..fishing sounded like you needed that time out for some fun with your dad too. ❤️🇦🇺🇨🇦
Just spent the morning getting "future problem trees". One of my maples next to the driveway had the core rotted out of it. And the one next to the house had a "V" in it, and the crack from the "V" had doubled in the last 7 years, so it had to go. But yeah, it is amazing how different a yard looks when you remove a few trees.
I would lay brick or railroad ties where you plan to put gravel right next to the grassy area going down to the proposed boat ramp. Will help keep the gravel from spreading out. Will keep rocks out of the grass so you aren't shooting stones all over whenever you mow the grass. I dearly wish I had that house. I remember seeing videos before anything was done. I would be in paradise out there. Build a nice pier with a medium size platform to fish from and to tie a boat to when you don't want to take it out of the water yet. Just an overall gem of a property.
Looks great. You should really sweep all those pine needles / leaves off that deck. So much work needed on that property but I can see it also and I’ld love to be the owner!
The trees near the lake are v beautiful, keep them, trees prevent soil erosion too
Wouldn’t electricity poles ruin the natural beauty of the property? Those poles are ugly and will bring in the outside world into a lakeside oasis. The land is beautiful and feels like a rustic getaway from the rest of the city life. Even if you painted the poles colors to blend in with the other trees there would still be those ugly power lines running to the cottage. The charm of the property is that it can be self reliant and not dependent on the outside world. You could stock up on food and supplies and stay there for weeks and not need to leave or engage with anyone or anywhere else. Just my thoughts. Thank you for sharing your prosperity and property journey! I think that property was waiting for you. I can’t imagine there is anyone else that could appreciate it more and have the skills and resources as you do. I think the previous owner chose not to have electricity poles and lines put in for good reason.
Looking good. As a fellow small business owner, you need to remember how to take a day off of work! Cabin is coming along nicely 👍
With the price of power going the way it is, Solar is the wise choice, If your adding a boat launch maybe add a dock and use bi-facial solar panels as a roof? at least check with other solar installers about what tree's need to go... or other options such as ground mount solar away from the house.
Nice job it’s looking good you’re such a hard worker smart man
Hello, I do understand busy !! gotta make hay while the sun shines we say around here :) you know...you don't have to have all the solar on the house! you can have your solar on a satellite station ! then run your cable(s) to the house. C can with all your tech in it and panels on the outside of it at a placement away from the house, self heated panels for snow clearing and a wind mill for back up during low light days. Seen them set up around here actually. just an idea... anyways... wish you and family all the best!
Be well ! thanks for the vid.
this is a beautiful property. If you get this for sale let many know, this would be the ideal place for someone to retire at. Bought a house years ago, and same as this property, lots of dead bad trees due to wind storms, cut them down. Used the wood for fire wood.
I think it looks great opened up. Like you said it will be a lot safer. Boy what a difference it made.
You so lucky you can do stuff like this. And it's really nice to follow. Thumbs up from Denmark 😉
Another great video full of quality work and common sense
Looks really good
this cottage is the reason I subscribed
Looking better all the time 💐
Going to be such a beautiful place when it’s all done!
I was shocked when you kicked the poles holding up the porch and they crumbled. Since I have no building experience, I would not have thought to do that. You are pretty conscientious. Anyway, recently I started watching videos of young people making videos of abandoned homes, as old as 200 years old, but those videos make me real sad because the people filming are not there to do repairs. They are there to show the history and the decay that's happened to a once beautiful home. Most of the homes they show are totally rotted with many belongings left inside and trash everywhere, which makes me sad. So it's nice to watch a restoration video for a change, like this one I stumbled onto today.
Esa cabaña esta muy bonita y con los arreglos que pretendes hacer se vera mejor, que no daría uno por tener una propiedad asi con esa hermosa vista al lago, como para hacer una plataforma y ponerse a pescar en ese lugar, felicidades y saludos desde Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.
Glad to see the cottage again.
