hey folks I'm gonna take you back in talking on the day we purchase pine Meadows hobby farm I
want to show you in the raw video footage of what it looked like the day we bought it and
then this is what it looks like today so stay tuned welcome back to pine Meadows hobby for
him hey I wanted to show you guys the day we step through it on the property for the first
time and this is the video footage we took we explored around the property we decided
to buy it we went ahead and made arrangements to purchase it and try to get really creative
with us being able to buy it so this video is just showing you what we saw on our very first
day here as you can see there's a fifth others a big ol RV that was just trashed in middle of
a driveway here the septic system was torn up the mobile home that was here was just trashed
there was trash everywhere the well was in disrepair it was a mess took a lot of clean
cat tails I can clean that out and make a nice little pond for
the duck looks like plenty of places for the goat
there's debris everywhere because of the you know the county will definitely have to get
that out of there and those two cars and then the mobile home you could burn most of it and
what metal we can get out of there take it to the recyclers yeah wood stove may be able to
be salvaged there's a few items here to salvage but not much but the home site would be right
here it does have it has a faucet so I have it I haven't located the well yet there's the
faucet this is the well yeah this is the well right here don't get just don't get too close
I don't know if you can collapse the well or it up come this way here's also a am yeah there's
plugs right there it oh I could be wrong I thought that was well because that box I don't know where
the well is uh well I see kind of a trench dug along here so oh there's the well up there Wow
there's the well well hug me off the bridge yeah well hope to go up there and look at it
okay we identified the well and here's the power still has the meter and they cut the phone lines
and so the main pole over there is where the phone line ends but there's no problem getting
phone lines into here into this box we just have to put a guy wire on here's the service
there's the power okay we got to probably replace this whole box here's the end of
the sewer pipe right underneath where the mobile is you follow it down there is to
clean it right there and it goes down and there's a cement collar right there in the
bushes and that cement color is the clean-out for the septic the drain field I have no idea
where it's at unless it's downhill from that in that area right there they're way up there
in the hill honey there's that okay and there's the well all right cool we just I want to build
a new wheel house though yeah this has to be fixed oh yeah yeah so I'm videotaping
okay
you
there's a gray squirrel up there ah chewing us out for being here okay there's a level
spot right there and look at this view back up here in the back part of the property
good you they had a fire over there some years back about 12 years ago here's the back of the
property fence line goes down there back up in the woods right at the top of this this
mountain is the back of the property line and there's the property line right there that fit
that's the property and that's somebody else property over there unless that's BLM
and here's the highest point of the property right there
I'll have to look on the map to see what the elevation is of this point this would be kind
of cool to put a little cabin or a yurt in up here it looks like somebody started putting a
fence in there it started to build something here look at the structure and of course we
replaced that dilapidated old torn apart mobile home with this this mobile home this cost me
$10,000 check out those videos of course you can see here where we occupied the space with
the new mobile home the old ones gone now my confusion was getting the best of me with this
valve I thought was near the well because we saw some debris in the tall grass around here with a
plug and I thought maybe that was the electrical form of the well but with the squatters being on
the land and destroying everything I thought maybe they completely destroyed the well but to my luck
the well was still intact and still functioning and the power was still on but anyway here is
the new valve I put in on the same spot where that old valve was and up there is the new well
you might want to check out that video series on building that little well house that structure is
4 foot by 4 foot by 4 foot and there's reasons why I met it so small so check out those videos
and then Becky and I spent a couple of days clearing out all the cattails and making the
pond nice and now we have waterfowl to enjoy the pond and we can enjoy the ambiance of the pond and
then since I've been adding the outbuildings and making it a functional homestead now I
did get my greenhouse and that was courtesy of the good folks at Discovery Channel's homestead
rescue when Marty Raney Matt Raney his son and his daughter misty Randy came down and helped
build that I had stockpiled a bunch of windows they took those windows and made this oh man we
love this and of course I did plant my garden there where I had originally planned and I got
an apple tree right here this apple tree is gonna bear five variety of apples for us well that's it
on the tour on what the property look like five years ago when we first stepped foot on it and
what it looks like today with a lot of hard work a lot of sweat and a lot of testosterone yeah God
