    The workshop series was my favourite. Couldn't understand why you built it so small. Possibly the weight of the logs. Be interesting how you develope it.

    • @dper1112
      @dper1112 6 місяців тому +2

      My understanding is that he built the workshop right before he moved up there from the old property. So presumably he needed that space to be done relatively quickly, to give him a covered building before he started on the other structures.

    • @MJGruskin
      @MJGruskin 6 місяців тому

      Agree, I thought he was going to build work much larger than what is essentially a shed. He mentioned a bushcraft school. He should also build a 3 space garage.

    And here I thought you were running out of things to build, shawn, haha
    You could really use a track loader, alot more power and huge bucket to move material and easy times spreading all that gravel and dirt.
    But alot more expensive than that tractor I'm sure.
    Can't wait to see your visions of that area around the workshop come together and being built. Even the new fire pit for cooking.
    Cali you quit being lazy and retrieve 😂

    @Esoj. 6 місяців тому +2

    I had guessed that the gravel was for a garage but a workshop extension makes sense. Oh man you’ve gotten so much done without one so far, so with a proper workshop you’re going to be unstoppable 😅. And if, you know, by chance the workshop ends up organically evolving into a man cave as time goes by that would just be a coincidence 🤷🏻‍♂️ and not a part of the plan all along 😉😂

    Do a lot of trees fall near your Cabin and other buildings?....I am planning a new home in Maine and was considering removing all trees within 60 ft of my House for safety reasons. I had a med size pine fall in my yard at my present home and it made me a little paranoid about some of the 50 and 60 ft Oaks surrounding my Home....Love the shade and Birds trees provide but they are unforgiving when their time is up....Any experience you can share?...Thank you.

I've watched your content long enough to know you carefully plan everything, and probably change your mind about the plan. I'm waiting with baited breath. lol

    the ridge line looks like an awesome place for all the berries you can handle ... as a hedgerow to make a living fence of prickly fruits
    Figured you were working on the main workshop area to make the other builds faster because everything they require will get done in the same location and can be doe in bulk for more than one project at a time

  • @SWAMPHUNTER644
    @SWAMPHUNTER644 6 місяців тому

    My experience with gravel haulers is they are reluctant to go too far off the main road, even if they have a 4WD dump truck. I've been waiting for a decade to get some gravel for trails because it has simply been too wet. There may be short windows during a dry spell in the summer where it might be possible. If you can get a delivery next to a main road, you might be able to haul gravel in with your tractor and a cart with a HD axle. The cart can't be too large or you will get stuck. I have ruined some carts and I have gotten some stuck.
