- Buying Cheap Houses- Boring perhaps, but here's my thoughts about what I think I may do with the property I own. Also, check out my latest tiny house video...another talker but I'm back on the project.
Square Inch Tiny House channel- / @squareinch4877 - Навчання та стиль
Your rambling videos make me feel like you are having a conversation with me. Very chill and enjoyable.
Same
"Probably a bad idea, but I think I'll do it." Quote I'll now live by.
Lol yeah classic
I first met you through your tiny house videos. Gradually I found your other interests. I am not a TV watcher and when I come in from my daily chores I love to rest/relax by watching UA-cam. You are on my list of top ten channels to watch and I don't find you boring at all.
Those of us who are of a certain age can tell you that you can go to bed young one night, and wake up old the next. The important thing is to do what you enjoy doing. You seem to have a pretty good grip on that.
this is true but I will add that if you are lucky you are old for a good third of your life so you have to plan for it early... keep it in the back of your mind.. notice what other older people do... don't laugh when you see an older person give up on something because its too much for them now... better that you realize you will be in that position some day... don't be distracted by dreams if you haven't dealt with reality
I think it's so neat that you have returned this land to the family.
I don't mind your rambling. I just like all your video's . I think they are entertaining. To me at least! So thank you for sharing your stuff with us. 👍😁
I have been binge-watching your renovations channel for nearly a year now, and I didn't know until last night that this channel existed. While I enjoy watching the house renos, I am absolutely enthralled with your 'rambling' homestead videos. You make it feel like we're all hanging out. Plus, I just bought my dream homestead, so I am doing some of the same types of projects. You're definitely quite a few levels above me in expertise, but I really enjoy your content, I always learn new things from you, and it's nice to find a kindred spirit on UA-cam without all of the fluff and nonsense. I decided last night to start watching this channel from the beginning, and I have to say, it's pretty cool to see your online progression as a builder/homesteader/human being.
It's really interesting hearing you think out loud, and hearing about your ideas and plans for the future. The courses idea sounds cool, definitely worth looking in to!
Good ideas. I agree w/ your friend as far as tiny house location. Cabin idea is great @ 12'x15' with solar/wind turbine --> run off battery when needed (better than 12/3 extension cord).
Cut the pine trees and plant some maple/walnut saplings and when you reach 70s, still be watching you, turn it into tables!! 👍
Not many of us have the courage of showing our skeleton room/unfinished projets. Thank you for sharing
"If you're not into this, just do somethin' different". Love it. That's why I watch you. Matter of fact and don't care. Hope your table business hasn't been negatively impacted. Hoping your tenants are paying too. An air bnb for your guests! Can't wait for the tiny house and anything else you do. Takes me away from what's really going on. Never been on a tractor, love the outdoors, never seen poison ivy so Thank you!!!
Yes! I laughed at that....'just do something different ' seemed loaded 😂😂👍🏽
I enjoy hearing your vision of some things you would like to do.
I'm glad you were able to buy back the family land.
Roots and a sense of belonging is so important.
I enjoyed your rambling. ☺
"if you're not into this.. just do something different"
I love it
Seems like a genre “conversational” or “a day in the life” very authentic & inspirational. Reminds me of a less distracted generation. Yes you remind my of my grandfather, but in a good way! Thanks for sharing 👍
A nice size property. I am glad that you were able to secure the property and keep it in the family line. As I grow older having "elbow room" and out in the country is the way to go. Property prices near Raleigh and Wake County NC are going through the roof. Yes getting rid of poison plants with any means possible is the way to go. I am allergic to them all. I had a terrible bout with them as a young teen and I never want to go through that again. About every inch of skin was eaten up. My cousin and I decided we would play in the woods shirtless and just wearing shorts and sandals. We had a few cuts and abrasions. I was a city boy and he was a country boy. He said that "this plant" was good for treating cuts. "This plant" ended up being poison sumac!
Thanks for the update! Truth that time flies by and makes you realize what is important.
"I basically just have one friend" lol. Quality over quantity, right?
You have more than one friend you have all of us. Thanks for all your hard work I look forward to seeing your videos.
I really enjoyed your video. It is nice to visit your property and see your tractor. Nothing runs like a Deere! 🚜👍❤️
Hey thanks for the update will be great to see the jeep up and running
Another really nice video. I enjoy hearing about all the projects you have going. Looking forward to seeing how your new shops turn out! Keep the good videos coming our way!
Aye 33 a lifetime ago. I hit 65 next month. You are right. Time to get your projects done now.
I really like how you emphasize getting things going in order to prevent them staying a phantasy, being afraid to fall short of perfection!
Reclaimed ownership of the family land. What a blessing to come full circle.
Still my favorite channels on all of UA-cam are yours. Dude, I am obsessed with those jeeps of yours and can't wait to see what you have planned for them. Keep em coming bud, we'll keep watching.
it's always a joy seeing what you're up to. Burning that rubbish pile during the full moon period will make short work of it.
Your real property is just amazing !
Love these videos. I remember trying to locate our tiny house on our property and there is a lot to consider. My wife convinced me to tuck it into a nook I had to cut into the side of one of our fields and it turned out to be a great decision (although tons more work). Keep up the good work, one day at a time.
Beautiful video of beautiful property..
Love this video! You work for fun 😉 and love life! Beautiful ❤️🦋✝️
I remember wanting to be 21, well i got there , blinked a few times and now im 41. Nice video as always , i enjoy seeing even the simple day to day things you're up to.
So nice to see a video of yours going up.... gosh we miss seeing you.
All of your content is really fun to watch!
"Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly.
" ~Robert H. Schuller
Another person said it this way: A done something is better than a perfect nothing.
Great vision! I like these kind of videos keep them coming....
What a random video... A hodge podge of this & that!! Enjoyed every minute of it!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey Mike G out!!
My father in law had one of those jeep trailers in his yard. We had to clean the house and yard out in such a short time after he passed away that it was one of the things that went for scrap.
Very nice videos! I am following your channels quite a time now and I love watching them. Always motivates me on doing more. Keep on going. Greetings from Bavaria Germany.
Hell yeah any videos of yours we love! Just throwem up on UA-cam, we miss you when youre gone 🥺👉👈
Beautiful !!
You don't ramble. I can't wait to see all the things you want to do and all the things you don't want to do. Boy I understand how you feel when things get in your way. I love watching you work and over the years you have taught me so much , and I can't thank you enough. It's a beautiful property and a beautiful dream I know will come true because you love your family and you love your dreams. It will happen ! Love the slabs of oak and all the pine you processed. Wow that's allot of wood. I have never seen poison ivy before and in Australia we don't have it, thank God so thanks for showing it to me. It really needs to be poisoned for sure. Specially for the kids playing around it and if you want to have some animals or vegie gardens e,or go for walks in the beautiful Field it need to go. I love your tractor it's so nice and you got me on the Jeep wow it's amazing I would love to see videos of you working on that one for sure. I am now 58 year old grandmother and I think the older I get the quicker the time goes, it's scary to think that my heart is still of a twenty years old but my body is feeling the age. I love to do wood work and machanics so love that the pine is taken on the old bard look wow and those slabs are just beautiful ❤️. Thankyou for all the videos we want more the more the better. I am a fan that lives the futherest away so keep them coming . Gilly b
The rambling posts are always the best!
Glad you like them!
I'm really excited. Feels like I'm starting the projects lol. Best wishes from across the pond in the UK
I love the tiny house movement and some of the ideas are amazing. With your skills I would suggest you build an old English style Shepherd’s hut. Not sure if they ever came to America but in UK they are much sought after especially as garden buildings and for occasional off-griders. Well made ones go for Uber money: real silly money in the 10s of 000s of £UK. It would be a great quirk in the US if they’re not commonplace and I’ve no doubt they’d prove immensely popular. Good luck with whatever you do. PS you ramble all you like, your videos are absolutely top-rate: interesting, inspiring and educational . 🍻👍🏻
I just came over here from your other channel-I'm pleased to see you are a flatfender guy,too! I have a '46 CJ2A that started out looking like yours, but is a nice driver now.
It sounded like your tractor lost fuel prime from sitting. If it has an electronic lift pump, just letting it run with the key on before starting will refill the fuel system. If it has a mechanical lift pump, there should be a way too manually pump it prior to starting.
That metal building with the chimney out the back might work for a wood drying kiln.
With that much land would be a great place to have saw mill classes and demonstrations on building.Could be like the home stead get togethers.
I really like your videos. Much love from Sweden!
Thank you
16:16 Lol when you were trying to start the ole tractor....sounded like she was laughing at ya.....lol! Hreat video my friend! If you are ever near Crossville, TN give me a hollar would love to buy you lunch my friend!
The older you get, the faster the years go by.
I really enjoy your videos. Do what you can while you can. It seems like just yesterday I was 33. Trust me. You'll be 50 before you know it.
Its a “I think I’ll set that on fire” kinda month, isn’t it? haha. Hope you and your family are doing well - thanks for sharing!
Back in the 70’s I used to spray 2,4D / 2,4,5T but that turned out to be agent orange but it did do a great job on the broad leafs
I found your homemade home channel and binged every episode in like ...2 days in April. I’m dying for an update to the $9000 house! Have you had a chance to get anything more done on it lately? 🤞
I think you're doing really well for yourself and your family.. Id like to encourage you to pursue the more "fun" ideas you talked about. Believe it or not some people become very wealthy just by following their passion and excitement. So your attitude of working hard on serious projects instead of having fun may be holding you back. Whatever you choose, good luck. I love your videos.
You have so much room in your attic, you can make a 2cd story....was watching the kitchen island video, wasn’t sure if you’ll see this....It would give you a whole other set of viewers.
Love all your ideas. It is so inspiring to look to future projects. I'm sure you have more than one friend. 😁 You can count me as another friend. 💗 Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.
I had a Mimosa tree & the ants 🐜 love it. It was covered with them. I eventually killed it.
I’ve never seen poison ivy out in the field before, only around trees.
You are a jack of all trades.
I live in the east too!
I understand what you mean as I am mid 50's and I had a small chance back in my early 40's to start a homestead (had a dream about a camp/commune type off grid and self sufficient farm), I had a small but significant financial boost but at the time it wasn't what I was aiming for. Now....in hindsight it is exactly what I should have done.... Alas we can't redo so no point in regrets but 12yrs later I am now fixed in place in a way that is not good for me and I struggle to see any way out. I do try to keep positive (my daughter who is around your age want's this too which helps) that a way for us to get to the homestead idea and make it real is still there. We just have to be patient and let the universe push up where we need to be and be PREPARED to do what we need to to make it all happen.
Dude... I'm also 33, from Alabama, and have a rotting WIlly's ('46 CJ-2A) sitting in my yard I bought a decade ago, haha. I joined the Navy and had to forget about it. I SWEAR i'll get to it one day! haha
I always say ..you are funny ..
I think your little.cabin could be an A frame style ...I love to see them .. and I agree about the poison ivy ....get rid of it ....no point in people and especially children having to be hurt by it.... .and agree again .. NO NONE need to know where you live ...I think that is just rude..
Love the rambling ..
Be well Be safe 💞💕🙏🏿💕💞
Lol. Funny video. Great land. Love your ideas. Should do a live-edge, oak workshop! Ok, so I guess my guess as to where you are was too far West. I don't see mountains. Oh lord don't tell me it's SC. Hahaha. Either way, I'm probably 10-12 hour drive, away. Pretty far. But I used to spend summers there.
you may want to look into a swingblade sawmill. Many of the ones on the market are quite portable and also have attachments to use a chainsaw to allow for wider cuts
everything you do is a little closer to the end... you are right about how your thoughts on projects and things change dramatically from decade to decade.. I suggest that you start planning for that time when you are older and can't manage all the crap you have going... having that one ranch house single level where you can get around easy once your bones are tired... if you plan now a little bit it will make a big difference later. yeah don't mind at all about videos like this but do something more than just getting the tractor started... I would go for that broad leaf herbicide.. might as well get it done now before you move the house there and people are around getting itchy. :o)
We are all your friends, I am a Canadian friend.
I have a large field loaded with poison ivy,too. I have to wear a full set of coveralls, and a respirator when I mow it-very uncomfortable in the summer. It seems like I always get some poison ivy on my neck each time,though.
Diesels use glow plugs when first starting. So you turn the key on, then the glow plugs heat the cylinder, then you crank it. A good working diesel will fire right up after the glow plug cycle. There's usually a glow plug light on the dash that goes off when it's ready to crank over.
When we had to bend things back on one of our dozers, we would use a torch to heat the spot where we wanted it to bend, like if you could imagine where a hinge would go, and then when you bend it, it stays
I really wish you still made videos. I always enjoyed your content. I hope you are doing well.
Had to come to your other Chanel to see how your doing ..
Wise beyond yours years young man😃
Please do some videos on the jeep resto of you are able, I'd interested. Thanks!
I live in Canada, so I don't think we're that close. 😄
Would love to see more jeep content!
Must be part of the out liers, west coast. Crazy how similar but different. Would be nice to have a fire pit/social area in the middle of the cabin, tiny and camper.
Who the hell downvotes a video like this? What is there to dislike?
Very cool place. Love mimosa trees. They smell like honey but a bit messy. How about building yourself a lumber dryer?
Some forks for that tractor on the front and you’ll be set up for full lumber production. Easily the best tool you can get for a loader.
I have forks, Id like a grapple next
"Once I finish up all my projects I have so many other projects to start." lol 25:00
Maybe a cedar steam/bath house in which to relax ??
Nice! The only thing you don't have is a lake or stream. May I suggest a small play area with a simple swing and something to climb on for the kid(s)? I watch Garden Answer channel. They purchased land next to their home. A neighbor who was a fireman did a controlled burn for them to clear their land. If I find the vid, I'll post the link in the comments.
There is a pond and several creeks, the land continues in the other side of the road.
Pretty sure the tobacco dryer will be turned into a lumber kiln. 🤪
I think a lot of your Homemade Home fans are unaware of your other channels and would enjoy them just as much as we do. I don't think any would object if you posted a plug for your other channels over at Homemade Home.
Yeah don’t wait to long with stuff you want to do because you don’t know what the future brings, just do some things at least in between like you said, I would love it if you started on that jeep tomorrow. 😁
Oh an you can say to people that you have at least 2 friends now, I will volunteer as the other, i’m on the other side of the globe tho but that’s ok (otherwise I would be bothering you all the time). 😂
Have you considered vrbo or home rentals as a source of income? A small cabin in that area would probably be a great vacation spot!
Design your tiny house with extensions in mind.
I learned the hard way if you run it out of fuel. You will need to bleed the lines like you would bleed your breaks.
The rambling vid is fine ,, better than Klanky music and fast forward,,
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Watch out for critters when lighting that fire.
That place would make a good hay field, you could let somebody cut it and get some use out of it
That's what I'm thinking
you should mob graze cattle, goats, and sheep on the feild. Each species likes different plants. they will take out the poison ivy.
when you gonna do the jeeps!!!!!
Would a small herd of wild goats be any good on your property? Just to help keep the land reasonably clear....and fertilised to a degree.... said she thinking out loud🤔😉😁. I enjoy listening to your
' thinking out loud scenarios'. Bless you, thanks.
But how would I kill the goats once they are done?
@@thehomesteadcraftsman8975 Hahaha😂😂😂😂 Swine what you are!
👍☺️
Again no notifictation from youtube of you posting this in the 5th....who did you upset at you tube :DDDD
Spray that field with garlon - you need to get it back to just grass.
$800 for a bush hog is a score!
Are you thinking of making this property your homestead?
