    I think I heard, “done is better than perfect” on the Holler Homestead. As a perfectionist, I struggle with this, but I am getting better at it!

      I believe that quote actually originated in a translation of Voltaire. But, it is a Life Lesson type of quote. (Unless you are constructing a bridge or performing brain surgery. 🤪). I am so enjoying your channel!!!!

    You guys are great storytellers, that unfolded beautifully in this episode. But Aust, just make sure you don’t miss some of the moments yourself while you’re busy sharing them with us! That look K gave you when you made the decision, wow, and you nearly missed it!
    By the way, I bet your dad’s happy now, he looked so despondent in the last episode! Good luck, I can’t wait to see how this evolves!

    I was one of the many who chose Crawdad Creek, but I understand why it wasn’t a viable choice due to the infrastructure cost.
    With that said, I’m not going anywhere. I’m actually even more excited to see what you and your families can do. Anyone can make things happen when they have an unlimited budget. The real excitement is when you are able to overcome those budgetary constraints through the properly application of years of accrued experience..and you folks seem quite capable.

    I'm glad you're glad, with the final decision. I was always going to be satisfied with your choice. Because I'm not watching for the property you're on. I'm watching for what you DO, on the property you're on.

    First it doesn't really matter what we think 🤣 it's your back sweat tears and money that is gonna go into this and you know more about what your doing than the majority of us 🤣🤣 I'm excited to watch y'all turn another property into a home! I first watched y'all in squash hallow then when you moved to Kay's parents and you lived in the apt. And then when you moved into the house! And I will be watching when y'all build this one to!! Thanks so much for the content y'all put out and I can't wait for more cow videos!!!!

    I'm so glad that you choose the property you have peace about! I was one who voted for the creek because of the water. But it seems like that problem has been solved! I'm excited to see what's in store for the future!

  • @deniseellenburg649
    @deniseellenburg649 2 роки тому

    ONWARD AND UPWARD!! Two people working hard together to achieve a goal are UNSTOPPABLE and anything is possible for those willing to make the sacrifice to get it done. The mountain is BEAUTIFUL!! I suggest you look into the possibility of scouring the property for a natural spring. With the areas holding water like that, its likely you have one or more there. Get yourself someone local, familiar with the territory who has the skill to search it out, to come scout your property for a spring. That would be a fantastic find to spur the building of your future homestead. Worth a look for sure. Blessings and can't wait to see what you folks create there!!

    This is so awesome! I think you guys made the right choice. When you guys initially asked which property we thought would be best I’d initially thought crawdad creek, was typing up my response and everything and just… stopped, because I had this funny feeling that my initial response wasn’t really right. With all the facts on the table and what everything would cost, this choice makes a lot of sense and the view. Is. Stunning.

    We moved to our homestead property several years ago (Missouri). No it was not our dream property but, like you, we saw the potential for what we wanted to do.
    Every year we look back and see how much closer it is getting to our dream property.
    Prayers for you and your family and this beautiful new homestead.

    It's a restoration project. You will be building your home, and your family, on this piece of land. You will breathe life back into this piece of land. And my God, what a beautiful blessing. To your family and the Earth. :)

    @annburge291 2 роки тому +1

    I'm so happy for you for picking beautiful sunny mountain. It will be quicker than five years if you can afford an excavator....dig the swales, catchment ponds, form terraces really quickly. Bring in fodder, water, shelter, electric moveable fencing and put your cows to work gleeing the ponds, breaking up the compacted dirt with their hooves. Put up some shelters with rain water harvesting tanks. Make some Johnson Su bioreactor compost (use weeds if that's all you have), some other biofertilisers. Seed some multi species pasture crops when it rains and pre coat the seeds with biofertilisers. When you have cows, you can turn around really degraded sites in one year if you get rain.

  • @delana6463
    @delana6463 2 роки тому +7

    I'll keep watching. Looking forward to seeing your dreams come true. You might want to look into putting in some water storage tanks along with the pond, should you have a long hot dry spell. Following your heart is never a mistake, what's wrong for someone else, could be just perfect for you and that's the only way to know that.

    I don't think you're being foolishly impatient. I think your intuition is telling you so clearly that NOW is the time to do this. I'm so glad you're not ignoring it. Go for it. This is perfect, all things considered. I bet you'll look back in two years, five years, ten years, etc and be so glad you made this move exactly when you did.

    I think I’d follow your parents for their knowledge as well as seeing the kids play and their happiness. Mom needs sunshine and that’s something you can try to capture at the new home in the way of a sun room or something but the kids playing in the little creek will give her some peace and happiness too.

    No, look- I wish I had that beautiful property right *now*, not just in five years! I love a beautiful hill, and I love how it's not impossibly steep, it's just so gorgeous all around. And what a nice little creek down by the road! It ain't my business really, nobody else's either, but I would 100% have gone with the mountain myself. I just can't get over the combination of nice, clear woods, and pasture-to-be!

The Old Oak Keep build a Nice Kitchen Table or what you like. I'm both Excited and Happy. For You Yes !! But also for the Hope you have Renewed In Me. Your Family and The Lord Have Renewed Me. We will find The not so Perfect Land. The Lord and our Hard work will Bless. Be Thankful !! Be Blessed !!!

    Yay! I'm excited for you all! I voted for crawdad creek but after the last video explaining the cost of the drive way it definitely wasn't the right choice for your goals. For the cost of getting the driveway in you can have a few wells drilled. We priced one out in CO and it would have started at $12k, but I know things are cheaper out east. It definitely wouldn't hurt to price it out. You can see if you can find information about wells in your area to see the average depth. It's easy to look up in CO as they are permitted through the waterboard of the state so you can see the depth and general locations of all the wells.

    I'm envious in the best way. I don't have the finances for property in the states I would like to live in (or my current one), my family doesn't have any background that could lend expertise to building structures, choosing land, or farming, and even if I get land, my husband has zero interest in construction or homesteading. I'm a decent self-taught carpenter but the task ahead of me is nothing short of overwhelming and lonely.
