 Good morning everybody today Taking a little bit of maintenance or doing a little bit of maintenance on the camper before we Set it up for winter. I just came here. I added a little bit of air pressure to the tires They were a little low. I don't think they're leaking, but it's just been a while since I've topped them up I'm gonna set them up Set the trailer up on This wood and bring it up to our land We don't get to use it much this year, but it has come in very handy in the past when we have been moving and Who knows when we start building our house We may have to live in that for a little while while our house gets positioned and set up and gets everything hooked up I'm hoping maybe next year we can take it out on a long weekend or something, but For now, I've got to get it ready for winter. That's what we're doing today. I Get comments every now and then asking about our land We have been there this year I don't always film when we go there because there's not always a lot to do right or not not a lot to show you There's nothing there yet But we're going there today anyway, so if you haven't seen my videos at the land throughout the summer You'll see that it still exists and it's still sitting there today waiting for our house Can't wait till we can finally finally build our house and put it on the land What a day that will be Okay, so this way Got everything I need Let's head out Britt's cousin had borrowed our trailer for their wedding this summer and that's why we had pulled it out of its usual storage spot there and Ensured it so that they could use it and now Better bring it back Brought a long mama bear This is our baby's first visit to our land This will be home sweet home It's a little bit windy out here, but I'll show you what we do It's obvious so we brought our camper back out here positioned it a little bit differently this year It'll be a little bit out of the way of where we want to start working The wind is going to catch me right away We put up stakes now where the front of the house and garage and shop are going to be I don't know if you can see them or not These two stakes here. This will be the front corner of the house Here you see that stake over there And am I pointing in the right spot right there that'll be the the other corner of the house This will be the front of the house And that'll be our front yard all of this And then this is the start of the possible start of where the garage will be It'll be set back a little bit so the corner of the house will come here And then the garage will be just set back a little bit It'll go across to that pin right there So this will all be the garage here This would be us walking right out front of the garage doors Here to there And all of this is going to have to be cleared down The garage is going to come all the way along here This is going to be the back corner of the garage Garage all will go here and then straight that way This here is going to be an opening. It's going to be a gate We're going to have our fence fenced in dog area back here behind the garage and the house So I've got to be cleared. This is where the shop is going to start so there'll be The garage wall here that way Fence gate into the yard and front of the shop Here from this stake here to I don't know if you can see the stake over there right beside that tree right there This will be the front of the shop right now. We measured it out to 35 feet wide May want to go smaller we may want to go bigger, but it's a rough estimate And then I have the stakes In the bush Can't see him from here. I didn't put any red tags on them. I need to come back and do that But it is staked out all of this here is going to be shop It's got to be cleared down. We did 35 feet across 50 or 60 feet 60 feet long 35 by 60 Again, we're going to see if that's too much but Little better to have a little too much than too little And then yeah the back of the house will be over here Remember the front of the house is over there Probably hard to picture this in your head just by my camera here This will be the back of the house From here going that way And so this side will be garage this side will be house be an attached garage And then out this way so all of these trees will be in our house. We're gonna have to take them down I don't want them in the house They can come into the house as firewood though And then our backyard here We're gonna pick the the best trees that are strong enough to stay here But mostly these will come down because we don't want them to eventually fall on the house, right? and probably about another 40 feet back That'll be our backyard And then we'll still have lots of forest behind that yet That's our our general plan anyways, and I know it's very hard to show you Just walking through here on camera. We're slowly starting to get a vision of where everything's going to be And uh Next spring we can come here. Well next spring we're going to have a baby. So We'll uh see much time I have but next spring I'll spend some time here next summer clearing Cutting all these trees down cutting them up Setting them out somewhere to dry as firewood And then we'll have our trailer here for a little uh place to cool down Relax I'm making sure that you got the measurements right Because that was going off memory and Really not all that reliable at the moment for memory. Oh your memory is pretty good. She's way better than mine We said 40 feet long No 40 feet deep 56 feet long 56 feet long 40 feet deep with the sun room But only 28 feet deep without it because it's a 12 by 12 sun room Okay, so this side of the house will be 28 feet Yeah from those pins that way and then on the far end of the house There's going to be a a sun room off the master bedroom a four-season sun room And that'll be so that far wall will be 40 feet Gotcha I can't turn it off. No, that's too small to be it At least now we sort of have an idea of where everything's going to be sitting A lot of work to be done yet. I'm going to have to rent an excavator a mini excavator get all these uh bushes out of our front yard here Come on here with my chainsaw start cutting down trees like crazy pulling them out of here cutting them up There it is 1554 I keep saying 1545 it's 1554. That's how big our house is going to be square feet But also with the sun room and that'll count the square feet because that's four-season Which is 12 by 12 So it's not a crazy big house It's not the modest house. Yeah for a family. It's it's not bad We're not going crazy The floor plan is very similar to our house where we got married in one that I lived Ow you just punched the roof. I was trying to do a victory fist pump. Oh She's doing like pernittle No 56 by 28. I remembered. Whoo. See I told you you got a good memory Yeah, so that'll be It'll be good. That's the floor plan, but it's going to be reversed And then with the sun room off the back there It's very similar to what we've chosen a couple modifications, but three bedroom Three bedroom two and a half bath. No basement. It'll be about a three foot crawl space beneath there And uh, it's very uh, high water table here low lying land If it does it does sometimes get a little soggy here in spring And if it does if we do have a really wet spring like we had this past year Our house will be three feet off the ground the Steinback will pretty much have to be flooded before it hits our floorboards Yeah, so it'll Lift the house up a bit plus the foundation will be built up a couple of feet too. I'm pretty sure We'll see what the contractor advises Yes, we'll trust the professionals because we're definitely not those we couldn't even get the pegs straight We tried we tried we gave it an honest A college try good old college try I was gonna show them what it looked like from back here, but that sun is really she's bright giving quite the glare Yeah, the front of the house will be way up there And when you come down the driveway to the shop will be straight ahead So that when I come in here with the with the big truck it'll be easy to back down the driveway and just back straight in And then this I'd really like to save as much as this here as possible Yeah, let's still let all this grow Grow higher they must have had it cleared at some point because it's a lot shorter right here and a majority of the Not that you can see right now because holy smokes that sun's bright The majority of the trees that way will be saved as well as well as the front ones We're gonna save as many as possible. We're only cutting down what we absolutely have to And what's too close to the house because these are poplars, right? I think they're poplars and poplars grow really fast But they also die really fast and they tend to fall over so we'll have to be very vigilant about dead trees in our yard or bent trees It's gonna be home Can't wait so sick of living in a town. No offense time back. You're okay for a small city, but I'm a country girl at heart and this is where baby's gonna grow up Yippers for a little rough and tumble country girl or boy
