Building our Dream Home 4 | The Vision for Our Property
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- Along with building our dream home, we've gotten multiple questions and comments that need to be addressed. So I thought I'd have a talk it out session with you guys and gals, to answer all the questions, and go over our vision for our property as we build our dream home. As you know by now, this isn't just a dream home, but a dream property. The home is just a place to lay our heads. The real fun happens on our property.

I like how your sharing your journey with us.Trees are cut down all the time to build houses and its only 4. And your planting so much more to make it beautiful.
And it's going to be epic! Thanks Henrietta.
You're so kind, Mike. Anyone that needed that explanation clearly doesn't know you well at all. You plant enough to compensate for a few trees.
Keep being you.
They must not. I appreciate your support. By the way, your name sounds like a cool channel for coastal gardening. Love it.
@@MikeKincaid79 I wish!
hey Mike, if people want to unsub, let them. i love your plant vids, and i love to see the progress on your construction, and i hope there are more vids coming. just keep on doing what your doing, everything will work out just fine, and oh yes on the japanese maples! they are my favorite!
Wouldn't that look absolutely amazing if Japanese maples of all colors were just surrounding the house area around the edge of the woods.
I love that you share this journey with your fans. You certainly do deserve this next step. Thanks for sharing .
Thank you. I'm glad I'm sharing it with you guys too.
Thanks for sharing Mike! Excited to watch you on this journey!
Keep doing what you are doing. I think it's great to see your dreams become reality. I'm being pulled 100 ways myself right now, and the garden is suffering, but that's real life.
I hear ya. I don't think there's been a year that my garden has gone smoothly since I began here, but we learn a lot along the journey. I appreciate the support.
Your home is going to look DYNAMITE when you get plants growing around it. Green thumbs up to you Mr Kincaid! PS: Get in contact with Better Homes & Garden for a 5 or 6 page spread.
Oh, that would be really cool. I hadn't even considered that but it would be a really neat thing to have a magazine feature my property in full bloom, especially one so prestigious.
I love your channel and happy to be included in the progress you are making on your property. You are a creative person and my goodness you have propagated many more trees than you ever cut down. People, who are not in action and creating, freak out about destruction because they do not know how or do not have the drive to out create it. I definitely think this is why some react so strongly to the smallest of destruction even if it in the direction of building something wonderful and useful.
I really appreciate that comment, Jonni. Thank you.
My thought exactly!! Don’t worry about what people think, or their reactions, even though it can hurt a bit with nasty comments, but you know, and most of us who follows you know, what kind of person you are and we can see the bigger picture and think, Outside of the glimpses that you share, and you are a garden sowing growing person!! Of course you care about trees, forests, habitat and wildlife so you would never hurt or destroy Mother Nature so, don’t care what " they " think and do you!! Could I suggest a small thing here. Plant some pollinator shade plants and flowers in between your rhododendrons or as undergrowth in your forest area.. 😊 it would look so beautiful and be a gift for wildlife ❤ Love what you do Mike, and thank you for sharing your journey with us 🙏🏽 your house is going to be epic! Looking forward to follow along and see the progress 😊
No Mike you are not destroying M Nature….you put so much beauty in your surroundings. Of course one gasps to see those huge trees come down but to move forward it was necessary. I’m excited to watch your house being built….your family deserves it, you’ve earned it.
I love how you expressed your thoughts on it and appreciate your support.
Hi Mike, how could someone so passionate and caring about plants and flowers as you, not be concerned about mother nature. but what has to be done, has to be done. and I am sure you're going to plant forty instead of those four. I for myself enjoy watching the process of building your home and I am truely happy for you and your family.
Thank you so much Sayeh!
I had to cut down 4 trees last year. Midnight plum, standard apple, maple, and elm. Some were 10 years old, others more than 20. A few weeks after, I planted 18 evergreens and I have at least 6 fruit trees to plant this spring. Sometimes you have to tear things down to rebuild better.
Yes, 100%!
Don't sweat the few that complain Mike. Anyone that has paid any attention to your channel knows how passionate you are about nature and the plants (and your family). You're on a great journey (one I'm certainly a little jealous of). Keep making the videos of your journey and the plants. We're here waiting to see them.
I appreciate you Lance.
I never would have even thought of propagating blueberries or figs if I hadn't come across your channel and videos showing how easy the process can be! You are probably responsible for a 10-fold or higher increase in greenery by regular people. Carry on with your journey and best of luck! I will NOT be leaving your very insightful and easy to watch channel! Thanks for all you do!!
Really appreciate that, Charles. Thank you!
I'm new to the channel, and I'm so glad I found you. I'm in AZ zone 9B, and I love what you're doing. It's amazing to see the gardening in different parts of our UNITED States. Keep up the great work. I spend a good 75% of my day outside, as my hubby says toiling in the soil. I recently expanded my garden area and can't wait for it to mature. You inspired me, so I purchased rooting powder and can't wait to dabble in that. Congrats to you & yours for having a dream, and working to make it come true. God bless ❤
Thank you Cynthia! I really appreciate your support.
I'm a civil engineer and I have to live with knocking down trees every day... bless your heart for feeling grief over 4
Hahahaha
It's not just flowers!!! It's life! It's hope and belief in the future! Its the acknowledgment of the beauty in life that happens even when we don't want to believe in it! It is the essence of life wrapped in aroma. It's life saying hello, I just wanted to see a smile on your face!
You sure did. Thanks for that.
Hi Mike! Congratulations and best wishes to you, Shellie and your sweet girls on building your dream home!! We built our home on 5 acres in 1984, so we know exactly how you are feeling now. It's definitely a very stressful time, but when your home is completed you will almost forget the bad times and just remember all the steps you took to make your dream come true. Please, dont let people's opinions take away from your happiness! You love plants and trees more than anyone I know. Enjoy this journey to make your dream become a reality!! We wish you much happiness and special memoreis now and when you are in your dream home! 💜💙🙏
Thanks Marcia. That means a lot coming from someone I know personally.
Never let the haters get you down. You are exposed to so many people that the odds of pleasing everyone are stacked against you. I'm sure some in the audience are happy when they finally remember to use the recycle bin, but get upset when someone else kills a pest.
I'm personally looking forward to seeing your house plans and feel honored that you are even considering sharing that with us. I hope to see you get further along in your vision of your place. I started that sentence planning of saying when you're done, but realized half way through that you may never quit. As long as you don't forget to show us when everything is in bloom will be ok.
Haha, that's probably true. Sometimes I wish I could shut my brain down for a day but the number of ideas is constantly ahead of what I can get done.
Two weeks ago we enjoyed a road trip vacation and drove through Georgia. We visited Callaway Gardens. It was azalea season and amongst the thousands of acres there is a section called the “azalea bowl”. A small chapel with a lake is settled in the midst of all the azaleas.
So…dream and make your lovely home surrounded by the rhododendrons that you so enjoy! Thanks for the inspiration and education that you are imparting as you work toward your goal😊
Callaway Gardens sounds like a wonderful place. I know it's not stereotypical and I'm not sure what it is that I love so much about these rhododendrons and the forests, but it's just in my DNA. I appreciate you being here and following the journey, Carol.
Azaleas are a staple in the South, we have several old heirloom varieties. Build your dream home the way you see fit. We will continue building our dream garden as well and occasionally we will cut Large pines, not to waste, but make lumber or wood chips for foot paths in our vegetable garden.
Wow. People. I love watching your journey. Your enthusiasm for your land and nature is contagious and inspiring! Keep on keeping on Mike! Oh, and I love the Johnny Rooster Mug!
LOL, glad you like it! Thanks for being here and for your support, Roxanne!
Please continue Mike, and try to ignore the complainers. I am thoroughly enjoying watching the clearing of your property to make room for your new place. The majority of your subscribers are not offended by the cutting down of 4 trees on YOUR property. Haters are going to haters and we can’t change that. Let them leave and hate somewhere else, I say!
I like that. Glad you're enjoying the vids and I'll keep posting as long as you keep watching!
You have created thousands of plants through your own propagation and teaching others how to do it for themselves. Taking down 4 trees that could pose a danger to your family and dream home was the right and safe thing to do. Thank you for your videos love watching!
Thanks, Ried! I appreciate it.
Priorities for Mike everyone!
He only builds a family home (usually) ONCE IN A LIFETIME! He’ll do plenty of plant videos as we say in Medicine: PRN Pro Re Nata or AS NEEDED. It’s not needed right now for Mike’s family. A Real 🏠 Is. 😻
BTW: 😱 Those stumps behind the Rhododendron brought to my mind, an old time Scottish….
“🧚 🧚♀️ 🧚 Fairy Glen”.
I had to look it up and you're absolutely right! That area looks like an old time Scottish Fairy Glen. I love the nursing comparison. Scheduled plants will be back on time, haha. And yes, this house has to get done for my family and my sanity.
@@MikeKincaid79 Bravo 👏 4 the family.
Every home that’s built has had trees removed in order to open the area. Our house was built more than 20 years ago and there were some old White Pines that had to be removed. I had them chipped and we used every bit of those trees to create paths through the woods. Today, there are so many new and self sown White Pines that we share them with other gardeners.
Watching your videos, all of them, is a joy and learning experience. All good.
Thanks, Joan!
I think the writer of the comment was speaking that he didn’t care to witness your anxiety. But wants to enjoy your vast knowledge of plants. That said…as much as I love mature trees… you already said they aren’t that old…you got to do what you got to do. I Enjoy your videos . Thanks for your content .
I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your support. It brings me joy that you enjoy the videos and I love your way of looking at how the commenter was thinking. That's a cup half full kind of thought.
I had a really hard time taking down all the trees I did. The only thing that got me over it anxiety was knowing I would be replacing them with something that has more benefits such as an orchard and vegetable gardens. You give so much back to Mother Nature, I hope you aren’t letting these comments get to you. I love your positivity and the encouragement you’ve shown on your channel. I love watching peoples dreams come true, specially people who are so giving to complete strangers. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for your nice comment. You're not strangers, you're family. I know what you mean though. Yeah, I can't wait to see this place once we get more maples planted here and they get a few years under their belts.
There are always going to be people who complain about cutting down trees. This is your dream home & property. You have put in the labor and time to be able to make this dream come true. Don't let others make you feel bad about it. Man has been shaping nature in one way or another, for 1000's of years, and will continue to do so. All gardeners play God, deciding what will stay and what will go. If done with awareness and sensitivity, that's OK. You can't always create without some destruction.
Love watching your journey!
Thanks for that, Lucy. I appreciate your support. As the old saying goes, "If you want to make an omelette, you gotta break some yolks."
Hi Mike and family! I’m looking forward for your next update.
Thanks again.
And my answer to your poll, no
Trees come down every day just to make the lumber to build a house, so to have to remove a few trees in order to build the house- well, it just has to happen! You'll plant more than enough trees and shrubs to cover any losses. Don't worry about what someone said. My grandmother used to say that in order to make a cake, you have to have to break some eggs. Soon you'll get back to propagation and planting! You'll look back at these comments a couple of years from now, the house will be long finished, your nursery will have grown hugely, and the girls will be a lot bigger with the standard kid issues - and you'll shake your head! Don't stress someone's comments; stress the house and family right now! Keep filming whatever videos you want to, and we'll still be here, cheering you on!! I'm about to move across country to start my own ornamental plant nursery, and I guarantee you that a whole lot of bushes, brush, trees and dirt is going to come out of that land in order to make that happen! I'll film, of course, but I'm not sure I'll post right away. As for your fears over your project - I absolutely get it! Best of luck to you all!
What a cool adventure you're going on. Definitely film what you can so you can look back on it. Thanks for all your positivity and support!
Hey Mike We support you! Enjoy building. We're excited to watch the build and your future plantings!
Thanks David! Appreciate the support.
No Mike… I thank you for sharing your experience… I’m in for the long run 🌿❤️
I really appreciate you, Alicia.
I did exactly what you're doing, as we built our dream home 22 years ago, in the middle of our five acres of mature woods. It's the smartest thing we ever did! And every year, the forest changes and spring growth amazes me. It's a lot of work, which I totally enjoy. But the peace and tranquility, the incredible sunsets, stars at night - it's all far beyond anything we could have hoped for - truly a massive blessing from Above! Hope you'll experience the same.
Oh man, you get me excited just hearing all that! Your place sounds wonderful. This has been a long journey for us but we absolutely love living out on our property and this is the last big hurdle that we need to get over here. I'm looking forward to getting this done and enjoying all of it. Then the real fun begins and I can work on expanding the gardens and growing this place into my own heaven. Thanks for being here with us, Philip!
Mike, I don't know how many years I've been following your channel. I stumbled on to it while searching for how-to videos on propagating azalea & hydrangea cuttings from my great grandparent's near 500 acre homestead in southern Alabama, of which I inherited 45 acres. What I stumbled across while searching was your fig videos & remembered there was still one old fig tree where my grand parents house stood & how my cousins & I loved eating the figs right off the trees, along with all the other fruits & vegetables they grew. This started a new addiction/obsession for me, my first cutting is starting it's 5th season, so I guess I've been following you 6 years. I've rooted dozens of cuttings since, SAVING grandma's one remaining fig tree & taken at least a dozen back to bama, sharing them with my cousins & planting one at my little cabin there. I spend normally 4 to 6 weeks a year there in the Spring & Fall, making the 600 mile, 9.5 hr trip each way to take care of the property. I did my 1st "select" timber cut in 2014 & hopefully will get another one in before I leave this planet, as I'm approaching 70. I was devastated at first, seeing all the damage left by the cut, but even with hurricane Zeta blowing through a few yrs back, I now have a thick, healthy forest again. So you alert your nahsayer's it's called land management. I've learned so much & gotten so many ideas from your channel & Shelly's, I'll be here until the end. Besides the knowledge I've gained, I love the passion you exude in your videos, love & knowledge you share with your "little buddies" & look forward to your new videos every week & share your channel with friends & family. Thanks again. Cheers 🍻
Man, I really appreciate your comment, David. Yep, you've been hear for a very long time and I can't thank you enough for the support. Really cool to hear that you've been able to preserve your family's tree. Thank you for being here and enjoy shaping your own land. 45 acres! Sounds like heaven.
@@MikeKincaid79 & as soon as you get your house finished, I'm going to send you some fresh, thick cuttings from "Grandma's Fig" & see if you can FIGure out what they they are. Thanks for all you do.
Mike you are a whole lot nicer than I would be. You are trying to make a beautiful life for a beautiful Family. I have watched You and shelly bust your humps over the last few years providing for your family. You love plants and nature and it shows. Anyone that has watched four of your videos can see that. You know me well enough to know that I am really holding back right now. I will stop before I really get steamed. I will say only one thing to your detractors: It's called LIFE get over it.
Hahaha, I love ya Paul. I mean it man. Good to have you in my corner.
It’s LIFE… I love Life too…thank you….l am a “tree hugger” and I know they know and embrace the love and joy you have (as a steward of the land ) bring to that area in your assignment
I love how you put that. Thank you, Alicia.
We feel your excitement. Today, even tho’ the bird bath had ice 🧊 in it this a.m., on my 70 year old Azalea 🌺 has 2 Teeney-Tiny opened buds…just 2 but it’s amazingly beautiful. What a year for you! It’s history for you guys AND your girls when they have kids.
No! Trees at times NEED cutting. We cut down hundreds of invasive Pines & within 10 years, a huge bunch Oak, Maples & Walnut trees Sprung up. And that was on OAK & WOODLYN DRIVES. Wasn’t named PINE STREET, so go for it kiddo.
Haha, I love it. Thanks, Deni.
I don't think you're destroying nature...you are the steward of your property and are caring for your land in a way that is best for you and your family. I enjoy following your build videos, Mike...good luck with your build!!
Thanks so much, Mike. I appreciate it.
I would not have given her a response. You don’t have to defend yourself to anyone. We just appreciate your channel. Your the best.
Speaking of trees; we bought a house three years ago. My Mom rented the house for years and the landlady financed the house for us when Mom passed away. Everyone loved my Mom so much and she wanted us to have the house. The minute we signed the papers which we are bound to legally, the sewer broke down. It took us three years to get a grant/loan from the USDA and finally had our sewer replaced by a reputable plumber. The point is we had an old, very large Mulberry in the backyard right by our sewer line. We didn't have the money to cut down the tree but the plumber had to tear out roots just to get to the sewer, and there were roots in the sewer line clear out to the middle of our backyard. There were roots under our sidewalk, and under our house. I know because when the plumber dug up the ground, and went on break, I took a look. I imagine that every inch of our house has Mulberry and Elm tree roots under it. The roots were massive! They had to ground up roots in the sewer line under the house in the pipes leading to the toilet and bathroom with their rooter machine. I love trees in the right place, but not in the backyard corner of our house. You can be sure that I will be extremely careful where I plant any trees, In our yard we will probably grow dwarf trees.
Wow, sounds like a mess. Glad you got all that fixed. I appreciate hearing your experience. I've gone back and forth about planting some fig trees along the side of my shop but maybe that's not a good idea after all.
Build your dream!! I know that when the house is done you'll do some fantastic landscape videos of replanted gardens around the new house
Absolutely!
Hi Mike, I haven't been on here for quite a while. I'm glad you haven't lost your enthusiasm. I'm positive everyone will see through your hard work and love that you put into all of your projects that your love for Mother Nature is in abundance. I wish you all the best for your new home.
I look forward to checking in again to see how things are coming along. Bless you and your family
Regards Aniela, from the UK.
Glad you checked back in, Aniela! Yep, still cranking away here and fulfilling the picture I've had stuck in my head for almost 2 decades now. It's slowly coming along. Thanks for checking in and God bless you as well!
I love your channel Mike, thank you for providing followers with quality content to grow beautiful gardens ourselves. I’m thinking the critics are not actually followers as much as they are narcissistic environmental activists with tunnel vision. I look forward to following your home build.
Haha, love the description of those people. More updates on the way.
They need to remember the purpose God gave is the trees. To use some n save some! Truly you have said many! Congratulations on building your home for your family. Blessed is the man who has his own.
And I feel blessed. Thanks!
Not destroying if replacing it with something more grand. A house on a property like that what you have is amazing. I love everything about your rooting plants (figs :) ), building your house and garden to come. Excited to see what comes next!!
Thanks so much, Alvin! Glad your here enjoying the videos.
Mike, I think that what are doing is great. Thank you for sharing your build with us. I know that you guys are excited about this and you are living the American dream. For all of the people that have complained about the cutting of the trees, let them. You are building your house in the area you want it, sometimes for progress, things have to go. I will truly enjoy watching the progress on your house. I want to thank you for all of the videos you produce, and I have learned a lot from them. Please keep up the good work. I live in south Louisiana and like seeing what others do in other parts of the country.
I appreciate your support, Robert.
It's really strange that anyone would think that THEY aren't living on land that was cleared to make space for where THEY live. My husband and I moved from Northeast Ohio to Coastal South Carolina and I had to put a metal decorative flag at the "driveway" opening so we could find it! We cleared wild wisteria vines, wild grape vines, trees, whatever we had to to create the oasis we love. We plan and build well together but he's the 100 extra nails guy and I like to build things with moving or tweaking them. I like to live with things a little bit and see if they'd work better another way. Drove him nuts at first, but after having him change a few big things up he likes to live with it a little while before making them permanent too. We used tree scraps for creating wooden toothbrush holders, candle holders, end tables, etc. I love seeing them and remembering where we started here and where we are. You'll always have negative Nellie's! Lots of us are loving your excitement and seeing your joy at creating your new home!! You get 1 life. And you, sir, are an inspiration to make your 1 life one you can look back on and be proud of!! Godspeed!
I really appreciate you being here and love the story of your place and how it all came together. God bless you guys and your little piece of heaven!
hubby and I were married 49 years and never made it to the addition we had planned on for our kitchen and dining room, so this is exciting for me to watch because I know you will go full steam ahead with the build you will have it done in months. the ultimate dream of a fabulous gardens will happen, so what a few trees had to be sacrificed, you had very logical reasons for that. good luck and I'm waiting for all the future videos to come
Thank you Nancy! It'll take time and a lot of blood sweat and tears, but I'm determined to see it all happen.......as long as money holds out, LOL.
Hey Mike! I’ve been watching your videos for almost 4 years now. I think It started with the Japanese Maples or Willows because my wife and I moved into our 1/2 acre property in Northeast PA and I wanted to grow some. Cutting down trees or removing/digging soil is a part of change. I’ve been removing a bunch of non-native/not pollinator friendly bushes and grass that were left behind by the previous owners and replacing them with native wildflowers to attract pollinators and bugs that go after aphids/other pests to protect our vegetable garden.
I’ve had neighbours ask me (not in a nasty way, more curious) why I’m cutting down trees and removing grass only to replace them with more trees and “weeds”.
I just explain that I’m replacing them with native (ash, maples, birches, eastern redbuds, wildflowers) or beneficial/ non-invasive trees such as sweet chestnuts, willows, and ginkgo’s. (Plus some tropicals like bananas and canna’s b/c they look great)
I know I’m rambling (sorry haha) but my point is that with what you’re doing to replace and rejuvenate the property is more than enough to offset less than a handful of trees. Plus, it’s not like you’re leveling the entire 10 acres and putting in concrete or decimating the wildlife permanently. You’re an inspiration! You got me into gardening and growing (and figs…thanks haha) and I’ve even made my own Instagram to share with other people my journey and what I’m growing here in Northeast PA. If it weren’t for you Mike, I wouldn’t have known how to germinate Japanese Maples, or how to propagate willow from cuttings, or how to root grapes from cuttings. I appreciate all you do and man, you, your wife, and kids deserve to have a home after all you’ve helped us with. Thank you!!
I can't thank you enough for your support! Your place sounds amazing! Thanks for being here and following our journey. Good luck in your own garden!
Mike, I love your vision and am excited to follow your family’s journey as you work to fulfill it. What a beautiful piece of property your family has. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for being here and following our journey, Judy!
Mike you know as well as I do there is one in every crowd… That one person who just needs something to complain about. We all know you have planted and propagated/grown far more that the 4 trees you cut down. So I say keep on keeping on brother!!!!! Enjoying following your journey!!!!!
Thanks so much, and I'll do exactly that!
I’m sure your journey wasn’t and isn’t easy but I know you’re filled with pride right now. Good luck with all your dreams. Blessings ❤
Thank you!
Haters will always hate.... there will always be someone who will find the fault with everything. Keep on sharing. It's your channel.
Love your support. Thanks!
Trees are cut down every day to build houses…no criticism here!! Love your channel Mike, and enjoy seeing your journey to your forever home and future landscaping!! 😊
Thanks, Dawn!
Dude I love all of your content including your current home project. I don’t think anyone like to see large trees cutdown but it is necessary for what you are doing. Not to mention the amount of trees and plants you’ve grown will counteract anything you have or ever will cut down. Keep up the awesome content!!
Also what jacket are you wearing? It looks awesome I want one haha
Thanks, Zachary! It’s a foul weather jacket that was issued to me in the Navy.
We are really excited about your build series...have been following for a long time using your tips and advice on our tiny homestead and now we are in the middle of our own build, to see your's pop up is a bonus. You have your plan and it will work.....longterm. Keep up the videos on the build , we need all the motivation we can get 👍🏻♥ Julie & Ian
That's so awesome! Well, good luck with your build. There have been some serious downs with the ups but we keep weathering the storm. But your boots on and get ready but enjoy the journey as much as you can, knowing there will be a home in the end. I'll have to check out your channel, thanks.
Hi Mike, I am from South Africa i started a 3 years ago to watch your channel and have watched most of you videos i have become even more of a plant lover and learn a lot form you don't worry about the people that want to un scribed you do have your enough followers i wish i had a big property like you do love those flowers
Thanks, Basil, and enjoy your harvest season coming up!
Thanks for sharing your dreams and journey. Nature was made for man and in return we must just be good stewards. You are and we wish you well. Look forward to seeing the new house rising up!
Absolutely! And I appreciate how you put that.
Your not wrong Mike. Their will always be negative people. We can pray for them and wish them well in their small world
I appreciate you, Lisa.
People lately need to knock down everything.
Pay no attention to the static.
You and your family need to live your lives and that in turn will allow you to replant your world and we will have the honor to tag along with your adventures
Thanks
Thanks Bill, I appreciate your support. Much more to come!
Mr K. Every house every where had trees and plants growing there before the buildings were built
Yourll end up with loads more plants after the house is built. Keep going as you are mate. It's lovely and makes us all like friends and family even if we are tens of thousands of miles apart 👍
I really enjoy the connection I have with everyone here. We are all friends and family on this channel, for sure.
Hey, Mike,
It's been a while. Glad to see you and your family are hangin' in there with your dreams. You really have done a lot with your property and it's looking great! Gonna have to backtrack to your fig trees to see what you've done with them and how they're doing.
[Remember] the fig tree I rooted from 3 root cuttings I took after our landlord decided to cut down the decades old tree on the side of our building? Two didn't make it but one did. Despite an occassional chomp from my cat when I put it in the window for a good sunning, 'Marcus' is a real trooper going on ?5 yrs.? this summer! It will be a looooong time before I ever see a fig on that tree, but I get so much pleasure knowing I saved that tree's lineage. 🌱🌿🌳😺
Just want to add, if certain persons have been following you for a bit they would have known what you had in mind for your family, and maybe should have made the decision whether to stay or not a lot sooner than now. At the same time, no need to unsubscribe. They could easily come and go, on and off, as they're interests guide them__no judgements, right(?).
Like me__I have lots of interests so, I toggle between them. The channels I REALLY find value in, I subscribe. Even if I don't consistently follow along I stay subscribed(and 'like')so they don't 'lose' much from YT. Your channel has been in that category for a little while cuz I live in an upstairs apartment with no yard or balcony to grow anything__I only have several overgrown houseplants that are in need of repotting soon. 😛 But I value your ingenuity when it comes to trying different approaches with the plants you're passionate about, as well as, how you and Shelly care for your family and steward your property. So, I stay suscribed. I'll have to check out how much your girls have grown, too! 😺
I do have a question: Do you have multiple accesses to the crawlspace on the build? I didn't notice any on the left side, looking from the back view. That would be a looong crawl if repairs/maintenance were needed. 😭 Count me as one who would be interested in seeing your house plans, too!
Love, Light, and Blessings for bringing your dreams to fruition. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
That is so cool that you preserved that fig tree. Congrats and good job! You've been here a long time, Debra. If I rmember right, you came in during my finger injury and I enjoyed going back and forth with you on that one. I totally understand moving between interests on UA-cam, I do the same. I appreciate you being here and all your support when you circle around to gardening again. Thanks for the blessings, and same to you!

Wow, good memory! Yes, that was about the time I came on board your channel. It's always nice to see your efforts and progresses pay off in positive energy. Keep up the good work. Love you and your family. 💖🙌😺
PS, thanks for the heart. 💖
Lol.... I can't believe people have an issue with someone cutting down trees on their own property. I live close to you and appreciate all you do. It's interesting and makes me feel happy to see a local boy doing well! I so enjoy your content and have learned a lot. Thanks for keeping things real, Mike
I love hearing from local people. Looks like you're somewhere in the South Sound area. I've seen different parts of the country and even the world, while in the Navy. There are a lot of beautiful places out there and this area is up in the top 5 for sure. Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for sharing the ride with us!
@Mike Kincaid I learned propagation basics from you about 2 or 3 years ago and life has never been the same since! I can literally raise up an army of trees or a valley of food crops and beautiful ornamentals such as roses! It's addicting in the best way
There will always be people not liking what you do, specially on the internet. Opinions are like a*sses: we all got one. Those behinds are wiped with paper made from the trees like the one you felled. ;-)
You are doing great Mike. It's always great to see your enthusiasm and letting us be part of it.
Really appreciate your support, Bert! I'll have your video out soon.
Mike
Your channel is one of the most interesting/ information/ on growing plants, I enjoy you working with your family in different projects.
I have live in southern Oregon where the trees ( as like you put it “ weeds”) we took some out to build or home…as you know building a home take a lot of engineering/ planing/ county approval / and as you know BIG COST/
Mike this is your right for you and for your family…
Continue the great work and a high five to your channel…
Thanks so much! By the way, I fell in love with Southern Oregon last spring when we drove through. There was a little town nestled in the mountains that I absolutely loved. The setting was amazing. Don't know anything about the weather there but I'll bet it's colder than us. The town was Myrtle Creek. I just loved the mountains surrounding it.
Hey you guys, enjoy it! You worked hard and you disserve it! You have my blessings 💕! God bless you!🙏💞💞 Love your vision! I wish I was your neighbor 🤗
You know what, Camelia, I wish that too, and I mean it. Thanks for your blessing!
Thank you Mike! Sure 🙏❤️
I couldn't help it, this was my second comment 😃
Mike !!!!old for new !!! that is what I think I am positive you will do a good job in planting more good trees and you and your family will have many many year's of enjoyment ,Good Luck
That's it, old for new! Good analogy for what is going on around here. Thanks for the support!
Excited to see the build!!😊 my husband and I are building now too! Trees have to come down but more can be planted!!
That's it exactly! Good luck on your build!
PNW neighbor here - there's a fir tree in a neighbor's yard that was planted about 12 feet from our house 28 years ago that is already 70-80 feet tall and 35-40 feet in diameter (covers both houses). Yes, they grow like weeds here.
Yep, they sure do. I just finished planting a few hundred fir saplings along the border of my property and hoping they'll grow fast and provide a nice privacy barrier between us and the neighbor and traffic.
You are not destroying mother nature. The fact that you are putting the trees to use is the cycle of life. Your family is growing and what you are doing is the next phase in the life of your family. It's not like you are plowing over thousands of acres in the rain forest for greedy gain. People are going to jump your case. Just jump out of their way. Looking forward to your next 'home build' video. Love your passion.
Thanks Grammy!
Hiya Mike I like you story and also your gardening information thanks
You are very welcome, and thank you for being here on the channel, Mustafa.
Always love the videos Mike. My wife and I live on Whidbey currently and hope to do something like your family out near Bellingham or wherever works around the pudget sound area, really inspiring stuff. Also, glad to see that old foul weather jacket still in use haha, cheers!
Haha, yep, that thing is about to fall off of me. Not sure how it got in my sea bag upon separation, lol
Mike you are doing a wonderful job, and you are putting back ,and already have put back waaaay more than you have taken out. Keep on the way you are going and you can always count on me to back you up, I love you and Shellie and the girls , and if you ever need me for anything just let me know.And I loved that video too❣️❣️❣️
I feel like I've got a strong mother hen behind be, with you on my side, lol. Thanks, Glenda!
Fireside chats with Mike Kincaid. Or maybe hot air in the hoop house. I dig these videos.
Why do you take the naysayers so personally, brother!? Between what you’ve planted, and the THOUSANDS of others you’ve inspired to plant, I think minus 4 trees from the equation still leaves you with a positive ledger.
I was really diggin the property walk-through. You’ve got a great thing going on, my friend. Very happy for and proud of you, brother.
Man, I appreciate your support. Love the "hot air in the hoop house line". That one gave me a chuckle. I'll be doing more walkthroughs as the blooms being. Thanks for having my 6
I’m Team Mike all day, every day. Can’t wait to see how your plans come together. You do you!
Thanks Joni, I'll keep on truckin as long as you keep on watching.
@@MikeKincaid79 you know I will!
Removed some trees but how many do you start. How many do you plant. How many do you inspire others to plant. I enjoy the plant videos but also watch the other content.
The answer is in the thousands, lol. I appreciate your support, Matthew.
Carry on Mike… thank you so much🎉
Thank you, Alicia!
Mike, My wife and I LOVE You and Your family! Congrats on building your new home.
We Love ALL Your Videos.
To that guy that got butt hurt and unsubsidized, So be it.
There are 1000's of us that Enjoy watching All Your videos!
Keep hitting record Mike!
Love ya brother! Jay and Christa.
Wow, thanks Jay! I appreciate your very supportive comment. Love making these videos for people like you and will keep going as long as you keep watching.
Beautiful . Thank you for the tour. Love it when we have a vison of what we want to do on our property. 👍
Mike it's been, I don't know, a year since I last visited your channel. The dream house project is a wonderful new phase and I'm excited for your family. But you've lost weight. Be sure to take care of yourself as you run with your dream. Eat right and get plenty of sleep!
I was gone for a while but came back to find how to propagate a certain plant. Fortunately it was in time to see the first part of your home build. Love it!! Just a note: we are not here to serve our "stuff." Our stuff is suppose to serve us. It looks to me like you are stewarding your land, and that's its purpose. Care for it and it will provide for you. The trees gave you shade, and now they will keep you warm. Good job all around. Many blessings on this journey for you and Shelly and your sweet girls. I'm praying for you. Hope that's OK.
And just a reminder--there are some who are only happy when they're miserable, so let them be miserable. You're making them happy.
One more thing. Don't buy tickets on guilt trips. They're no vacation. 😉
I love all your advice and thanks for the prayers.
You did the right thing with those trees you have to protect your property and your family last thing you want is invasive roots and trees crashing down on your house
Exactly, and it was Shellie who finally convinced me to take them down for the very reasons you mentioned.
Well done, Mike. You have another fan / supporter of your plans and visions here. A great house goes together with great surrounds, moulded by you and yours. Rhododendrons and Japanese maples are two of my all time favourite beauties. (You could have even more months of flowering - up to 9, with some Camellias, but I'm sure you've weighed that up). Keep all the videos coming - walks, chicken barns, the lot. I can see big trees from an apartment I'm stopping in at the moment. Let's keep planting, and with upkeep and change sadly some trees are out of place. Big vision 👍.
Thanks, Stephen, I appreciate the support! Yes, I've definitely considered camellias and will be planting some eventually. You know how it goes, so much to do and so little time. Thanks for being here and I'll keep posting as long as you keep watching!
Safety first Mike, sometimes trees need to go! But we all do know you and your family will rebuild the gardens and surrounding trees bigger and better than what you started with 👍👍👍
Absolutely! I've already replanted over 100 fir trees on the side of my property in the past week.
Hi Mike
Thanks for the update on everything. Your going to plant more trees than what you have cut down. Trees are cut down all of the time to put buildings up. Keep going and i will look forward to the next videos.
It takes a lot to do your own home and a lot of planning.
Where we live in the UK, not far from us they're building houses close to the busy main road and they cut trees down to do it. Keep going and all the best to you and your family.
Carol
Thank you Carol, and I really appreciate you being here.
@@MikeKincaid79
Your welcome 😁
What a nice virtual tour of your property. So how many trees are left after the four that were taken down? I lost count as you were walking 😂. There is nothing like a custom build where you build exactly what you want. And to do that on this beautiful property makes it even more special. Looking forward to seeing the progress!
Thank you Cindy. Glad you're here for the journey, and yes, many more trees where those 4 came from!
I am enjoying this home build project. Keep up the great work. I can wait for the plant videos. Of all the channels that I watch that center around growing plants and gardens, they have all had a build along the way.
This is a big one for us. I appreciate your patronage and glad you're enjoying the build, Mike!
I am a dedicated butt wiper!
I'm not crying about the trees but it is painful to watch them come down.
That should be enough firewood to get you through next Winter tho.
We have more trees in western Washington than there are people on the planet!👍
Haha, ain't that the truth.
No you are doing a great job with those trees.
You ou are so kind! Thank you for sharing your journey & dreams with the world as well as your expertise. I have learnt so much from you and I wish you great success in providing for your family what they need. 'Rooting' for you from my little neck of the woods 🎉🎉
Thank you so much, Mikro. That means a lot.
no, mike. i do not think there is any problem with taking down the trees. if a plant is in the way, it's a weed. with all the care that you give to your garden, it makes no sense to me for anyone to complain about what you do to your property. good luck. carmine.
Appreciate the up vote, Carmine!
I absolutely love what you are doing! Keep going!
Thanks, Jenny! The ball is in motion now and there's no stopping it. Thanks for being here to share the experience with us!
Nice video and I totally understand your feelings in the end of the video. Yes, you have a greit vision of of your property and future development.
Thanks, Paul 👍
Salute you for building your life together with your wife.
Thanks so much, Fatima!
Excited for you and your family during this special chapter in your lives. Prayers and best wishes to all....
Thank you so much!
Love ALL your videos!!!
Thanks, Joyce!
Preface: I'm watching on our "Smart Tv" with my wife. My wife asked if we could watch the progress on your build, I responded, "Yes I want to see it too".
We like it as much as your plant videos, because you are the host!
I found you because 1 year ago, next month. A guy in an alley offered me a fig... you know how that turns out! 18 fig trees, plus 15 cuttings later I'm not going to rehab. No, no. No!
I'm one of the folks who asked about milling the "Tree". I'm no " Greener" than Ted Nuggent is, trees are here to use, animals are here for sustenance. I love animals in nature and sometimes on my plate.
I'm sorry you are receiving guff. It sounds as though you have the right perspective. We are looking forward to all your future videos. Period.
Now we are going to unpause your video, in Progress.
God Bless you and your family.
What an awesome comment to log in and see. I’m humbled. Thanks for all your support, Lan, and I’m glad you two are enjoying the videos. Sorry to get you hooked on figs 🤣
Oh, my goodness...people are ridiculous. And... nunyabizness. I'm excited for you!!!
LOL, nunya!
Well, four trees are nothing, compared to what some logging companies do. If you used the wood in some way, so much the better. Anyway I wish you and your family good luck with the build, and Happy Easter. Look forward to see progress......
Happy Easter, Kenneth, and thanks for being here to enjoy the videos.
I am surprised that you even give a second of thought to negative comments like that... During the time you have been creating videos, you have propagated so many plants and planting so many new trees that it should not be a concern.
Do what you have been doing and let us enjoy your content and don't even bother with negative comments... 👍🤗
I appreciate that.
So happy for your family on building your dream home! I was taken back at first but I'm so excited to see the build unfold! I'm sorry I haven't watched your videos in a bit but I'm trying to catch up on them but the last several months have been quite eventful for me and things are calming down so I look forward to catching up on your earlier videos. But I just have to watch the house build ones before I do. I never doubted that you would replace those trees one way or another. Looking forward to more guidance on plants and trees and I'm excited that my son in law is also a plant fanatic like me. Because of some of the tips that you helped me with I have passed on to him and he is having great success. I have introduced him to your channel but he is in nursing school and he and my daughter have a new baby girl born February 1st so they are keeping him busy but spring is almost here in Wyoming so we have been talking about plants and gardens. I successfully propagated several rose bushes and they will be planted in his garden this year. I need to find some full sun plants for my garden and look forward to planting each and every one! Plant videos, house videos either way I'm here to stay!
Awesome! Sounds like your plate is full. Well I appreciate you sticking around and enjoy that grandbaby!
I love all your proyects
Thank you Angelica!
