hey everybody my name is sam and welcome back to our channel where you just saw was a little bit of
perimeter patrol we were riding the four-wheeler back to our back property line we have a handful
of t-posts some white spray paint and a sledgehammer because the goal for today is to
salvage the survey that was on our property so that it doesn't get overrun or messed up
whenever this whole soybean field gets harvested we are back here at our back property line where
i'm standing from here forward is our property from here back is not whenever this property was
surveyed and we bought this parcel and it was split from a larger tract into what we own now
we had the surveyors do what they called staked for fencing and that's where they put more stakes
and markers than usual along this whole line because we plan to add perimeter fencing to this
property and this property line being the newest not being bordered by a road or an old fence
was the one that would be the most difficult to remember where it is and get everything
lined up when the surveyors did their job they put in normal wooden stakes into the ground
that are about two feet tall the problem with that is it's a giant soybean field the
soybeans are nearing the end of their growth cycle getting closer to harvest so they have actually
started to wilt and be smaller than they were originally however you cannot see the wood stakes
so the goal for today is to take some t-posts and white spray paint drive-in t-posts right next
to the wooden stakes not touching the surveyor markers not moving them just supplementing them
for a visual reference especially for whenever the soybean field gets harvested that the hope
is that the people harvesting this don't run over and we lose our stakes for the fence line
they know that we're going to be staking it so they do know this is going to be out here i'm just
trying to give them a little extra benefit and visual marker as they're running their equipment
and they can see the posts and hopefully we don't have any issues that way so what we're going to do
is rather four wheeler out straight out this way as we find the wooden stakes we'll stop put a t
post in spray paint it go on down the line repeat repeat repeat until we get all the way to the
row that's on the other side of that little null let's go now is the time to put the eye in the sky
granker homestead eye and the sky weather on the eights
now let's go
all right we're here the first little steak we drove to go ahead and drive our post in
i'm gonna put this t-post on my side or our property side of this stake because
i don't own that property i'm not gonna be sticking posts over there there's a look at the
wooden stake i'm just putting mine on this side of it i'll use my sledge hammer and drive it in
thankfully this is cropland so the ground is pretty soft
it's been plowed and planted so that's very very good situation right now
all right with that one in place i'm just going to cut it in some paint
so it's much more visible and we'll move on down the line to the next one
there we go
perfect
let's go find our next one
so
tall man up there hang on i gotta paint it
and then last but not least to round out this is the corner of our property so everything that way
and this way is ours there is a pin an iron pin driven down here there's also an old barbed wire
fence that separates our property from our neighbors and the barbed wire fence is the
line according to the survey it is always great when that works out that way you don't have to
have somebody move their fence you don't have to have them move your fence and it's just great
good fences make good neighbors always so with this corner one done we are done setting t post
on this back line if you bust out the drone one last time if it's got enough juice fly over this
property line let you guys kind of see how it lays and gosh i mean honestly how massive it is
compared to our one acre place we live right now this is huge so we always geek out
well guys by the magic of youtube videos we are now transported back to north carolina which is
our home our little homestead now uh usually what we'll do is we'll travel to our property
for the weekend shoot some clips and then in this case come back home to finish out the
stuff we didn't get shot while we were there so i have my number two helper here and my surveyor
helper of the day what did you think of getting to drive the four-wheeler through all those soybeans
cool and there was a lot of huge grasshoppers about this long there were there are a lot of
grasshoppers on the property in those soybeans and you're right there's some that are that big as we
were driving through they would jump on us and the first couple starterless and then after that it's
like well whatever i guess we got some hitchhikers and they're going to ride with us so what did you
think of being able to have on that back line we could stand here and look out that way and see all
of our property what would you what kind of things are going through your mind or whatever it's very
cool and i'm excited we we got our property you got any ideas or plans to do with all that land
probably build a tree house yes okay that's a great idea i would like a tree house i'm thinking
ewok village perhaps maybe a little miniature indoor you know if you know what that is from
leave a link down below because in that movie star wars the ewoks they had all those tree
houses and rope bridges connecting it that would be cool what about some ideas as far as
what soybeans now but it'll be pasture later any ideas for that um probably have like little
um roads week where you can ride our bikes on maybe little jumps uh i want some sweet jumps
someone has also for a while wanted one but this property we're on here in north carolina
is not conducive to it somebody's been wanting a go-kart and he wants his own four-wheeler but
we're not doing that but a go-kart would be cool you would love a go-kart on that land wouldn't you
yeah yeah he said in the past he wants one with like a dump truck or a truck bed on the back or a
cargo rack or something to haul tools with so who knows we'll have the property we'll have to maybe
see if we can find one yeah that'll be a little bit later down the road but it'll be fun to do
so any other thoughts or ideas from hammering in the posts and spray painting stuff or in general
nope no more all right well tell everybody we'll see them next time see you next time thanks for
watching guys appreciate you as always if you have any questions or comments leave them for us
down below we're not surveyologists but we know a little bit as far as having our property done
and at least supplementing those wooden stakes with the t-posts we appreciate you guys watching
as always take care and we'll see you guys next time on one of the two homesteads i guess
you
