 I've got a dentist appointment in 15 minutes guess I better get going. I take care of this smile somehow, right? It's a windy day again It's always either cold or windy I love this province So you remember that old green riding more we used to have but we still have it its own dad's Utility trailer behind the pickup right now. I got the big guys diesel and Chevy Dad fixed up more a little bit for us. I really appreciate that. Thanks dad. He's super good with small engines and stuff He actually has a business that he does on the side where he fix fixes small engines He used to be a little bit more busy with that, but He's still it's one of his many talents fixes anything something's broken you bring it to dad You blink and he fixes it just like that anyways We got it on the trailer behind us, and I'm taking it out to our land And I'll let the big guys run around a little bit get some energy out I want to test it out today because tomorrow. We're going back there me and Brett both today is Sunday when I'm filming this and She's at work, so I'm just gonna go out there make sure that Everything is tip-top working as it should so that we can go there tomorrow and spend a good part of the day just clearing and You know getting it ready a little bit spending some time out in the Sun. It's a little bit rainy out here today Or it looks like it might rain We may be rained out We'll see So yeah, let's head out there and do some mowing. I have to keep up with it Otherwise it overgrows during the summer so quickly and I don't want to have to clear it all again I want to clear it once and just keep it clear so that when we're ready to build That at least we don't got to worry about that right? And also I'd like to go there with the big guys more often and let them run around in a nice like a nice Area get a nice lawn seated just so that they They have that area we can we have a barbecue out there We're gonna set up a nice screen didn't gazebo eventually my phone's going nuts right now Of course because I'm driving that's when everyone wants to talk to me. Everyone wants to talk to me when I'm driving I mean I stopped the car my phone never goes off as soon as I put it in gear ding ding ding Phone always goes off. Does that happen to you guys, too? You know you're in spring time and you know it's coming around the time We're all the guys are pulling out their lawnmowers and comparing the size of their motors and blades and stuff I Pull over for five minutes for this in a parking lot with this motor on the trailer behind me I have two guys come up to me. Hey, that thing for sale. What what you got there? You've got a craftsman, man, you can't even get a whole nose anymore. I had a craftsman mostly goes on this lawn Sorry, but it's craftsman more and it was interesting. I was interested. He's a good guy. I Had to tell him sorry. No, it's not for sale right now, but it is my craftsman. Absolutely. Well, I've had her for at least ten years She's always done the job Taking her out to the bush right now do some bushwhacking. Oh, yeah You know, that's what it's like to be an adult male in springtime in Canada All you got to do show up with a lawnmower and you'll have all the other guys come to you. You'll have instant friends just friends You guys what a difference it makes when everything turns green Look at this. Oh, it's like a whole new property and Everything hasn't even completely turned yet. It's still turning more green Over the next few weeks, it'll get even more Wow This is like a whole new plot of land Diesel Chevy look at this That's amazing Look at this Chevy Look at this. Of course now the raindrops are starting to fall But if you look at the sky, it's not gonna they're not gonna be falling for long They're probably falling from that cloud over there and they're just reaching the ground right now All the clouds are moving this way. So that is what's in our future And a little bit wet See, there's the Sun Come on Chevy diesel. Come on. Come check this out, man Come check this out. Look at this Like I said, these are just starting to bud So it's gonna get a lot greener in here yet a lot greener. Look at this All these bushes here haven't even turned green yet. This is just a little bit, but look at the difference already Wow And if I could transfer that smell to you right now, it's the smell of a fresh rainfall Out in the woods. That's good. That's good I might have to go into the truck and wait out this this rain though Like I said, it shouldn't rain for too long probably just like five ten minutes Here's the old beast We're ready to party. She needed a bath. Anyway, she's dirty This is here just to hold the seat down because the seat was bouncing like ping ping ping in the wind That's just holding it against the front there and gravity is doing the rest So I do have to Man when you're bald you really feel every single raindrop every single one Actually We still have to clear a little bit more here yet. I think this is where we were at here Don't go too far diesel We're gonna go straight through here. So all of that It's to come down Guys, come here. I don't go don't go that way Diesel Chevy. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey Come here The neighbors across the street have this massive black dog looks like a big bear It's probably like a big teddy bear. It's probably a really nice dog, but I've never met it yet And my dogs haven't met that dog yet either and I want to make sure that their first impression of each other is controlled and positive and So that they feel comfortable and safe with each other so that their dog stays on their property My dogs stay on our property and we don't have issues in the future when we build I Heard the the neighbors over there calling their dog back to their property right away So obviously, it's not something that they allow their dogs to do. I hope not anyways Because that's gonna be a problem if you have a neighbor who just lets their dog just wander through the neighborhood There's a deer right here. There's a deer. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Who is that? That was Bambi's cousin. Okay. Hey guys guys guys guys Guys remember we're the new people here. Okay. We're the intruders right now. Okay that deer probably lives here We're gonna have to make sure that everybody gets introduced properly That's exactly why you move into the bush. We do have neighbors like I was talking about they have dogs And they sounded like responsible dog owners. I'm not worried about them really right now We got deer walking through the property here just came right out into the open almost right up to the pickup truck here so it's gonna take a little while for a Everybody who lives in the general area and also for the wildlife that live here to get used to our Presence here as well. We're gonna be building our house here and we're gonna have to coexist Obviously, I'm not gonna hunt on my own Property here. I'm not allowed to anyways So this will be like I guess a safe haven for the for the wildlife that don't destroy my property and don't attack my dogs But a few minutes out here if we do want to go hunting you can just go a few minutes further that way and you can go hunting all you want, but That's besides the point though. That was interesting as you see that What do you mean? Did we see that? Oh, yeah, dude. That was a funny looking dog, man I don't know what a deer is. He's a dog. He's a dog, right? Sure looks like a dog. I think it was a dog I think it was a deer It was a baby deer guys. It's not a dog. Don't chase it, please. I Don't really care if my dogs chase the deer. I care if they chase them off my property and onto the neighbor's property That's where I draw the line They don't know the property lines here yet Well, I'm glad I brought a sweater just in case It looks like the rainfall past us just like I thought You see you live out here in Manitoba long enough you get to know the weather patterns See that's south so the weather always comes from the west So if you're wondering huh wonder what the weather is gonna be like today look to the west doesn't look too promising but I Think that's a rain cloud, but that's over there and the wind is going this way so the the rain will fall Probably about like I don't know 30 to 50 miles that way in about half an hour It's always behind because it's falling right now, right by the time it hits the ground that cloud Will be over there Weatherman Josh here coming at you live What do I know, right? I Just know how how weather reacts I know how the weather reacts around here. Okay, I'm 33 years old. I'm not the oldest guy out there I'm not the youngest guy out there, but I have a little bit of experience and I pay attention Okay, I pay attention. I'd like to know what's coming That's what's coming I had to use the power of the Chevy to get her going Had to give her a little boost there, but they're off over there searching for deer poop Well just a couple of hours probably with two hours to spend here today Nothing too big. We're gonna be here tomorrow most of the day. So it's got a little head start on tomorrow We got the driveway mode in here that main area over there mode and all of this needs to be done I started cutting down more trees here. Remember, this is our line We'll go straight through there the big trees back there and then along there So we got a little bit of cutting to do tomorrow yet And then gathering these sticks and we'll start digging out these roots I don't have a excavator yet. So we'll probably start digging them out by hand for now You know because we're men We'll see what happens But we're gonna come spend most of the day or most the afternoon here anyways tomorrow and see how far we can get on this I'd like to get this level as possible and Maybe we'll bring some food along. We'll have a little barbecue in the camper there It's gonna be fun But for now today the day the day's work is done Just an hour or two Got the a seat cranked in here Time to go home Brits gonna be off work in a little over an hour. Actually, no in ten minutes Shoot, I thought she worked all six. She works till five, but she worked on six. No, she works till six. I Think she works till six and it's 50 right now. Hey 450 can you see it? So we have an hour and ten minutes to get back Feels good being out here though. What do you guys think? And then you guys like it out here. They had a blast All right, let's go home into our tiny little temporary house. Shall we? Buckle myself in so I don't fall out Quickly Came past here to mom and dad's property Around the corner and even hit their little Fence here. Just check in on their property. They got a big piece of land out in here There's dad's dozer See a lot of you have said that it maybe I should bring this over to our land to help clear our land That would be fantastic and I totally agree with you. However, it's not legal We can't take that down the roads around the corner to my land and we don't have a trailer that's heavy-duty enough To haul that over there. Now I could obviously borrow one of works trailers But that would be a big hassle We may do it yet. We may not I don't know but for now dad needs to do a little bit of work on this I know he just installed a new muffler on it You can see it poking up right here Brand new muffler on there. He's got to do a little bit of work to it yet for it to work properly But like I said earlier dad is capable of fixing absolutely anything You challenge him he will come through he will fix anything so their land here is a little bit low Unfortunately, this is their driveway coming in here. They still got water in here. It did just rain. So there's that but Our land doesn't have any water like this. Our land is a little bit higher So this is going to be something that they're gonna have to deal with Probably bring in some Some fill like look at this here just complete standing water This is the first time we've actually seen this land Not in winter. I kind of figured it'd be a little bit low in here But you know they'll have to bring in some fill build a driveway in here The good news is that it's just the driveway in here I Think what the previous owners did was they used that bulldozer and they bulldozed a driveway in here But they didn't fill it up afterwards. So they dug out In the area here for you to go in for the driveway But they made that land lower than the rest of the land around it because you go over here Look at this. There's there's no water over here. No flooding whatsoever over there on the other side No flooding at all. It's only in the driveway here. So I'm thinking they dug out the driveway and just left it Whereas, you know, you're supposed to dig out the driveway and then put in foundation Rocks gravel The whole bit to lift it back up to a normal level otherwise the water's just gonna pool there obviously like this So they got a little bit of work ahead of them, but you know all the big trees way back there That's all their land way back there. They got a they got a much bigger piece than we do and I'd like to go in here and check it out but I Don't want to get wet either. I don't want to get poison ivy looking over here totally dry So he was telling me the other day that there's a lot of water on the property We're gonna have to walk in there and actually check but from what I can see here It's just in the driveway, which is a good sign lift up the driveway Drain the water properly out to the road into the ditches And you'll be fine It's gonna be a beautiful property once they once they do build here, you know once the price of lumber comes back down to earth Nobody's gonna be doing any building I mean, maybe they will but Worse, you're not gonna be doing any building until that happens. It's uh pretty crazy out there right now the price of materials But we're no rush either because we want to wait what five years at least So hopefully by the time we're ready to build hopefully Hopefully we can have more affordable Materials to build with this is gonna be mom and dad's plot and we're uh Or about two minutes just around the corner over there not too far away All right, I just wanted to come and check on this here We're coming back here tomorrow. Maybe I'll go further back in there tomorrow We'll see lots of work to do tomorrow. Can't promise anything I got the boys with me now too Chevy You ready to go home? Are we you diesel? You ready to go home? Mom's gonna be home soon. We return dad's trailer Thank you very much dad for letting us use your trailer We're all set I feel like we got something done today That's always it that's always a good feeling Oh, these little guys these little guys you make me feel important sometimes Let me feel important you y'all all excited like you were excited to see me No, they're just excited that I'm home not necessarily that I'm home.
