Wow, what a week. Monday started off with text messages from my dozer guy saying he was getting started and the electric company was already rolling along. The majority of the pad work was done on day 1 and it was finished up on day 2. It still needs to be finessed. I have a concrete guy lined up to come take a look and bid on the concrete pad for the shop. The electric run was completed on Thursday. Extra conduit was run for fiber internet as well. The tractor repair was quick. When I dropped it off for a warranty repair I was told 2-3 weeks. They got it done one day shy of a week and I picked it up on the one week mark. I'm very pleased with the folks at Oktibbeha County Co-Op for getting this done quickly. The problem ended up being a blown cylinder inside the power steering, causing too much pressure on a fitting that wasn't designed for it.
Nice to see this coming along. And to answer your insect question.....Dasymutilla occidentalis (red velvet ant, eastern velvet ant, cow ant or cow killer) it is a species of parasitoid wasp. Females have no wings and the males have translucent wings but no stinger by what I've found. Females do have stingers and are best known for their extremely painful sting, ranked 3 out of 4 on the Schmidt's sting pain index, earning them the nickname of "cow killer". So be careful with the wingless ones especially if you have any allergies from the venom they secrete. Hope this helps.
As my then 5 year old (now 16) grandson once said when asked to rate a particular experience, "I don't have enough thumbs!!" Seeing your daughter park the tractor, I know how he felt! You are giving her roots and wings.
I'm really excited for your daughter to get a chance to live such an adventure! She will know that she can do anything if she puts her mind to it! I look foward to seeing your progress every week, thanks for taking us all on your adventure as well!
Wow looking great can’t wait to see it finished. So cool seeing your Daughter driving the big tractor and you taking the time to teach her these kinda things. Great job Dad and Mom 👏👏👏
I love that you’re teaching your daughter to drive the tractor. It’s such an important lesson for kids on property. My old man taught me at a young age in case we needed to use the tractor to lift something off someone injured or someone was caught in a PTO
Making great progress. Well done. Having multiple “cache” boxes makes a lot of sense. Do not make the design difficult. Standardize. And do not let it distract you from getting your shop weathered in. I love seeing your daughter drive the various things. She will grow up confident and capable. What more could you ask for. Great parenting.
Your daughter did a great job with the tractor. It was great that she was aware of the mulcher on the tractor's rear. I let my 7 year grandson drive my tractor too, teach them young so they will know. You have accomplished so much in the past 126 days, it is looking great!! Thanks again for bringing us along. That is a Red Velvet Ant or “Cow Killer” with a 3 out of 4 on the scale of pain from its sting so be aware.
Locally called a "Cow Killer". They are actually a wasp that identifies as both an ant and a serial killer. The sting is VERY painful. Avoid these b******s!
You two are raising her well. And she’s pretty darn good and safe driver for five. You wouldn’t even want to see me driving a tractor at five. And that’s just cutting or bailing hay in an open field. Still started driving on the road vehicles with hay on the back by 12. Love country life.
Love the cache box idea. I think if you do one big door to enclose it you should have it hinge downward into a fold out table so you have the built-in workspace.
We're actually getting fiber optic installed in our neighborhood right now in Illinois. However, it's not thru the power company it's thru a local internet provider. Can't wait to see the difference in quality over our cable provider.
She needs to grow a bit so that she can sit in the seat and still reach the gas pedal, but she is doing great. It is very nice to see her getting to grips with the equipment. I hope you are going to get her interested in woodwork when you get your shop built.
Your little lady is growing up!. I learnt to drive a Massey Fergusson when I was about 8, helping my uncle feed out on his farm. Didn't get my car license till 15!
You nailed it. Large fiber box (hand hole) is for splice can from the road. Orange conduit (innerduct) is pulled from road to large hand hole, spliced, then to small hand hole which will connect to the shop and eventually house. If you want to connect the house and shop, you can use some fiber you can pickup online. Let me know if you need help/advice when you get to that stage. Have helped other with this same thing.
Jay, what a difference a week makes? The tractor is back. The pad foundation is ready, The electrical is ready. Septic next, after the pad and water then you can be on your own. Hopefully she stays eager to learn and help! Yayyyyyy!
A thought; do you want an electric gate, lights or security camera by the property entrance? Maybe it would be a good idea to put a conduit or two of your own while the trench is open. No?
@@JayBates I was going to suggest you have them drop a separate metered service up front for a gate, but then remembered you were being charged commercial rates. I had a friend do this. You could drop a conduit in the water trench to run fiber up there for camera/gate system. Sounds like it may be too far to run a power circuit from the shop.
You can adjust the rate of decent on your 3 link depending on what implement you have attached. If it’s something heavy like your chipper, you can lower it slowly to avoid the clunk! There’s usually a knob located under the seat for that. I’m sure you knew that, but just in case you didn’t!
Indeed. I have had it set slow for a long time. Turned it wide open when I was running a box blade last week. Forgot to slow it down with the heavier chipper.
Hey Jay Please be careful with running Ethernet cable. The maximum distance of Cat5e or cat6 is 328’ between powered devices. If the distance from your shop network devices to the network devices in your house is over 300’ run fiber between the devices (a switch on both ends). You don’t need the electrical company to run it in the conduit but terminating fiber requires special tools which they will have.
your cache box idea reminds me of the storage crate we had out at my grandparents lake cottage. it was a bin 3x6x3tall ish, sloped roof/lid out of a single sheet of ply covered in granular roll roofing to keep the rain out, hinged on the back with some prop bars you could lift to hold it open. throw a pad lock on it to keep curious minds out.
Great progress, and a few wins on the conduit runs. Take the day off tomorrow Jay, let the little lady do the tractor work. She has the hang of it now LOL
Brought me back to the farm when I was a kid and my grandfather was teaching me to drive the tractors. She's proud as can be up there on that thing.... LOL. I remember that feeling. Also I couldn't help but laugh cause I see your mangled ladder is still up against the tree in the background.
I thought about finding a cheap trailer to build a box on. But it will be much cheaper to just build an elevated box on skids. Then use the tractor to move it with pallet forks. Not sure how much I'm valuing mobility with it. Maybe one of each style. Mobile for side by side delivery for stuff like trail cutting and the stationary box for areas like the creek where we visit routinely.
I've been enjoying living vicariously through you. You're living the dream I've had for a while! For the cache boxes.. remember the KISS principle. Go 4x8 to minimize cuts and simplify materials. That is a Dasymutilla occidentalis, or "velvet ant". In reality, a wasp, and the females are wingless.
Great video and awesome progress! I looked around for that insect you asked about at 19:20 in the video. It looks like it is an Eastern Velvet Ant aka the Cow Killer. Its not actually an ant but looks like one, its a wingless wasp that have a nasty sting and should never be handled.
Not sure if you’ve already thought about it, when they run the fiber from the street have them run an ethernet cable as well so you can run a poe camera near your entrance.
That is going to be way past the length limit of ethernet and especially the POE. He could have them run fiber and then at the end do a fiber to ethernet converter along with a POE injector. He could power that with a solar panel and a battery for when the sun isn't shinning. I know Unifi has an outdoor box that comes with a power injector for a POE switch where all he would need to supply is +/- to it and strap it on a pole with the camera.
You can adjust how fast the 3 point goes down. Usually a valve below seat. That will set things down as fast or slow as you want. Lot easier on equipment.
Regarding your little girl, I am reminded of a cartoon. The first frame has a little girl asking dad if she can use his tools. His buddy standing next to him says, "That's not going to end well." Dad replies, "I disagree. It might not start well." The final frame is an older dad sitting at the kitchen table reading the newspaper and a young woman standing behind him with a tool belt on, saying, "Ok Dad, I fixed the roof."
G'day y'all, greetings from down under. 🦘 Tyler, you did a great job driving the tractor. When I was about your age, about 65 years ago my dad taught me how to drive a tractor. You did better then I did.😊❤
Don't worry too much about your daughter driving. Old 'Country Cop' story from Australia - he was out on patrol, came across a herd of sheep on the road being herded by a truck - but the truck looked to be empty. He pulled over and had a look inside the cab - two small boys were 'sharing' the driving, one was on the floor pushing the brake, clutch or accelerator on instructions from his brother, who was standing on the seat, working the steering wheel and gear lever. They were so young neither of them could sit down and see through the windscreen. Also - a lot of that dumped junk looks to be copper and aluminum, so you could sort it into bins and get some $$ for your trouble.
It is a type of wasp, called a Velvet Ant, it is the female and cannot fly. It can sting and if it does it is really painful, because of this it is also known as the "Cow Killer"
That is a velvet ant. It's actually a wingless wasp that also goes by the name of "cow killer". I've never been stung by one but heard they are a pretty awful experience.
Not sure if you got an answer on your insect yet. Looks like a female wingless wasp. The males actually have wings. They give a really nasty sting and here in South Africa they parasitize masonary wasps. Sometimes also referred to as a velvet ant. Enjoying following you on your build adventure, thanks for sharing.
if your gonna be on a septic, will you be on city water or well water? if your on well water once its all together you'll have to see if you have hard or soft water and that filtration system can be quite expensive.
Ah. Your saying cache box not cash box. I say it same way but kept trying to figure out where’s the Cash part made sense. American English is a tough language. Even for an born and raised Mo guy
you ought to get you a steel Gang Box from one of the big box stores that way you could lock things up you can store tools and such like that down at the property and don't worry about people stealing them their watertight they come with casters you can change it to a tree and be very comfortable with your stuff there and they come in all sizes I have one is 5'w X3'D and4' T you can put just about and very hard to break in To
@@JayBates I would highly recommend running fiber between the 2 buildings. If the networking equipment you use doesn't work with fiber, you can get fiber to ethernet converters once you are inside of the buildings.
In regards to running ethernet from the shop to the house. Make sure you know the distance for the run and what your CAT cable is rated to. Cat 5 is like 300ft. You shouldnt be using cat 5 in that case though.
I have. But the creek cache will be almost permanent, as we spend a lot of time down there with friends. I'll likely build a sledded version for the creek and make a portable version for the side by side.
Don’t to over 300’ with Ethernet. Your loss will be too high. You could have someone run private fiber through the loop, but that may get pricy. You can also look into point to point wireless. I would recommend the service be in the house and the extension to the shop. Never leave mama with poor service. 😂
The insect you're asking about is something I always grew up calling "cow killers," but they're harmless if you leave them alone. Big if in that sentence. The sting hurts like crazy, but they keep to themselves. As an adult I discovered the large red ones are female wingless wasps. Their scientific name is Dasymutilla occidentalis.
19:39 That chunk of glass looks it is from the back of a cathode ray tube, like someone cut one to keep the front, and trashed the back, in the woods. Is that black thing an electrical cable? It's worth $ at a scrapyard. When you do property cleanup, save and recycle any metal. Only exception is small bits of steel. Not worth the time other than to throw away.
Your electric company is awesome that would have easily cost 60k to get electric underground that far and there would not have been any fiber in it and past the transformer in my area is on you so you have to hire an electrician to do that part
the part of video at day 128. do you think over the years before you got to your property someone used it as a dumping grounds or its not that bad? I live in long island and after rains, the ground percolates all this shit up. like bolts car parts, glass, you name it. I heard from someone years ago that the person that owned the house used to bury car parts.
It's mainly on the main trail and around the adjacent property lot lines. I'm not too worried about it. I can't change the past but I sure can clean it up for the future.
So when you build the house will that get it's own septic system, or do you plan to share the system between both structures? I ask because I can just imagine the bureaucrats saying "sorry, can't do another septic so close to an existing one". I'm pretty sure "Murphey's law" originated with a government official.
Any idea how many feet of electrical was laid and what the cost was on a per foot (or any other length) basis? Just curious what Mississippi charges for that. Your daughter looked like a real natural behind the wheel of that tractor.
1250' of underground, plus whatever was needed to go up the pole at the road. I was never told a price per foot from this electric company. The neighboring electric company, which is who we are using for our camper spot, charges $10 per foot underground. I spoke a friend who works at the electric company where we previously lived and they provide the first 500' free then $12 per foot afterwards.
As an adult without kids and remembering what I was like at an older age than her, I would be too worried to allow this. This is more of a comment on me than a criticism of you. I hope she is having a blast with this whole process.

That darn ladder...
What about a cache box wagon or trailer to pull behind the sxs? It can be taken anywhere you want on the property,
I thought about finding a cheap trailer to build a box on. But it will be much cheaper to just build an elevated box on skids. Then use the tractor to move it with pallet forks. Not sure how much I'm valuing mobility with it. Maybe one of each style. Mobile for side by side delivery for stuff like trail cutting and the stationary box for areas like the creek where we visit routinely.

That is a Dasymutilla occidentalis, or "velvet ant". In reality, a wasp, and the females are wingless.
We call them cow ants. Hard to kill, very painful. They typically run away though.

When you do your shop slab will you run any dust collection, electrical or floor drains in the slab?
No. I've never been fond of anything in the slab. Too permanent.

Red Velvet Ant indeed. ‘Cow Killer’
She's gonna need her own go-kart track jay.
Red Velvet Ant AKA Cow killer?! Google just told me. Look and sounds fun 🙄. The shop is going to be awesome!!

We called them Velvet wasps or cow killers. Painful sting and they are really tough
I think you will throttle your internet speed if you go CAT6 from the shop to the house. Stay fiber the whole run? You are a good dad!
Might want to make the garage door big enough to build tiny homes inside
Great series! Not sure if anyone else has chimed in but I'm pretty sure it was a bug.
A bug!
That was a red velvet ant AKA "cow killer" ant (although it is actually a wasp). You don't want to get stung by it.
Ethernet usually has a max distance of 300’.

Red velvet ant. Stings are pretty bad. I know the feeling of working outside in the Mississippi summer! I have 21 acres outside Oxford!
Hey you're not too far, neighbor.
You need contractor "gang boxes" to store your things in!
She’s going to have her own farm by the time she is ten!

Idea for the cache box. Make the doors open vertically. Then they could be propped open to function as a table and/or a small awning.
I like the table idea. Haven't thought of that. Maybe the long front flips up and the short sides flip down for tables. Thanks for the idea!

If that bug you were making a clip of was fuzzy red / orange and you want to know more about look up cow killer bug.
you ought to get you a steel Gang Box from one of the big box stores that way you could lock things up you can store tools and such like that down at the property and don't worry about people stealing them their watertight they come with casters you can change it to a tree and be very comfortable with your stuff there and they come in all sizes I have one is 5'w X3'D and4' T you can put just about and very hard to break in To
Red Velvet ant, also know has cow killer. Extremely painful!
Keep in mind that if you are going to run ethernet from the shop to the house, the maximum run (without a switch) is around 328ft.
Good to know. The shop and house will each be around 100' from the junction box.
@@JayBates I would highly recommend running fiber between the 2 buildings. If the networking equipment you use doesn't work with fiber, you can get fiber to ethernet converters once you are inside of the buildings.
Red Velvet Ant or "Cow Killer" It's actually in the wasp family. VERY painful sting.
It's a Red Velvet Ant also named 'Cow Killer'. Scientific name is Dasymutilla occidentalis
In regards to running ethernet from the shop to the house. Make sure you know the distance for the run and what your CAT cable is rated to. Cat 5 is like 300ft. You shouldnt be using cat 5 in that case though.
For your “Cache” have you considered a small trailer that you can move around where/when needed and require one instead of multiple?
I have. But the creek cache will be almost permanent, as we spend a lot of time down there with friends. I'll likely build a sledded version for the creek and make a portable version for the side by side.

The sting hurts like crazy, but they keep to themselves. As an adult I discovered the large red ones are female wingless wasps. Their scientific name is Dasymutilla occidentalis.
👍👍👍
19:39 That chunk of glass looks it is from the back of a cathode ray tube, like someone cut one to keep the front, and trashed the back, in the woods.
Is that black thing an electrical cable? It's worth $ at a scrapyard. When you do property cleanup, save and recycle any metal. Only exception is small bits of steel. Not worth the time other than to throw away.
Yes. There are two scrap yards right down the road from us. Everyone scraps stuff around here. I'll definitely be sorting piles.
Do you think the small box might be the grounding bar? The copper rod... Also, it's a Velvet Ant, I think.
It does have a grounding rod in it. But why not put the grounding rod in the other boxes?
Guess who is going to be telling her school friends what she has just done! 🙂
Red velvet ants I think they also called them cow killers
Your electric company is awesome that would have easily cost 60k to get electric underground that far and there would not have been any fiber in it and past the transformer in my area is on you so you have to hire an electrician to do that part
the part of video at day 128. do you think over the years before you got to your property someone used it as a dumping grounds or its not that bad? I live in long island and after rains, the ground percolates all this shit up. like bolts car parts, glass, you name it. I heard from someone years ago that the person that owned the house used to bury car parts.
It's mainly on the main trail and around the adjacent property lot lines. I'm not too worried about it. I can't change the past but I sure can clean it up for the future.
@JayBates Maybe check for the existence of asbestos amongst that buried refuse. Don't want to breathe up the fibres.
I'd call them loot boxes.
So when you build the house will that get it's own septic system, or do you plan to share the system between both structures? I ask because I can just imagine the bureaucrats saying "sorry, can't do another septic so close to an existing one". I'm pretty sure "Murphey's law" originated with a government official.
House will have it's own.
Dozer in a hole and he put all the dirt in it's place. I've been in the sun, now my ears are burnt, and my face.
The bug is a velvet ant, it’s a type of wasp with a bad sting. 19:10
Any idea how many feet of electrical was laid and what the cost was on a per foot (or any other length) basis? Just curious what Mississippi charges for that. Your daughter looked like a real natural behind the wheel of that tractor.
1250' of underground, plus whatever was needed to go up the pole at the road. I was never told a price per foot from this electric company. The neighboring electric company, which is who we are using for our camper spot, charges $10 per foot underground. I spoke a friend who works at the electric company where we previously lived and they provide the first 500' free then $12 per foot afterwards.
@@JayBates Thanks Jay. Much appreciated.
Just remember Ethernet is only good for 320 ft approximately.
As an adult without kids and remembering what I was like at an older age than her, I would be too worried to allow this. This is more of a comment on me than a criticism of you. I hope she is having a blast with this whole process.
