hey everybody sam here and angela and welcome to our channel so today's video
is not a project it is an update video it is a life update we finally signed the contract
to what to move our house so for anyone who doesn't follow our channel super close
or honestly since it's been about six months since we got our new property and you know we
all have lives we've probably forgotten we'll do a short little recap on what exactly we are doing
and what we mean by sign the contract we have been in the process of getting our land ready to move
our mobile home over there it has been a very long process it takes a very long time to get a
hold of people to move a mobile home to get quotes for septic tanks and all kinds of stuff yeah but
truth be told the longest process has been us saving money it has if we had a million dollars
we would have been there already we would so yes we have finally gotten to the point that we could
sign the contract to go ahead and say we are doing this come on put us on the books we're
ready to move yep are we ready to move though no no there's still a lot of stuff left to do
so there is a lot of packing we have been here six years and we thought we were going to be
here for a very long time and so we've put down roots and so now we're kind of having to
ourselves up again uproot us yeah that's pretty cool yeah so this property was
bare ground when we got here so not just the house but every single outbuilding
workshop soap shed greenhouse everything we've added it all and we're taking it all except for
the workshop right right which again all that's covered in other videos i don't want to rehash
too much yeah too much repeat so there you are caught up with what we mean by the contract
yes it is time it is move time so let's go and talk about the timelines of that time
so much words so much words we are looking at okay with this house move everything is going
to be weather dependent and not so much freezing cold permafrost we don't have
that where we live but more so rain and mud the rough estimated timeline is about two months the
house will be over on the new property given things could happen we are ballparking around
two months truth be told the contract was signed three weeks ago so less than two months
but right now is kind of the rainy season for us and in tennessee it has to be dry because
with how that mud is out there you sink yeah and a mobile home would definitely sink yes especially
because the land has been tilled up and it was cropland and it's not had cattle running hard
yeah it's very fluffy very fluffy out there so as far as timelines in that two months um estimated
we're going to have the house site and footers done probably within about a month and whenever
that's done the mobile home mover said they don't want that property or the ground sitting
open for more than a month so that's where we get our two-month timeline but in the meantime we have
lots to do and a lot of a list of things to get done so what is our list to get done our list
oh boy okay so we have house stuff to do um we are responsible for making sure our mobile home is 100
ready to be pulled off the property that means unhooking or getting unhooked our mini split
ac system unhooking all electrical plumbing drains the underpinning of the home has to be
done anything inside has the porches yeah and the porches have to be removed anything that
makes this thing non-mobile has to be taken away so it can be mobile again and of course it has to
be totally empty yes absolutely empty especially since we added the roof over which is additional
weight on the home i'm going to go overboard i'm going to try and take the appliances out
i'm going to try and take anything heavy out of that house because
i'm concerned about the move honestly i mean this is literally our house so i personally know
if i didn't remove the appliances and something happened i would kind of always be wondering so
that's the house part now that's a huge list that is just the house outside of
the house what else have we got in store for ourselves well um i have to say i'm very much
looking forward to spring and looking forward to gardening season yes and this just happens to be
happening like right as we're getting ready to start seeds and stuff like that so one
of our top priorities is going to be moving the greenhouse we have gone through so many different
scenarios with that greenhouse and getting a different one and what are we going to do that
with prices and stuff like that we just decided hey we're gonna disassemble this one and we're
gonna put it back up on our new property yeah that is hands down the best way we can get the
biggest bang for our buck and we know it's quality because we built it it's not going to be like a
a portable structure that'll blow away in the wind yeah because we have a lot of heavy wind out there
so yeah so moving the greenhouse is probably pretty soon pretty high up on your list in
addition to that we have the barn our old chicken coop and our outdoor kitchen
we have plans for at least the metal roofing that's another thing to come on later but
we're definitely taking all the lumber with us as well since again prices are so high
we will find something to make with it oh yeah if it's not right now it'll be in the
near future absolutely and again this would sound weird to anyone who doesn't know our story so
there's a video to link down below to really explain why we're taking things off a property
it's really weird situation so just click down there if you don't know the story
so outside of salvaging greenhouse outdoor kitchen sheep barn chicken coop and all that
what else we got to do it's over there to your left move the soap shack yeah but that'll be
honestly the soap shed like easiest part that we do yep so she had the cool idea
to call a local shed manufacturer that we actually see on our way back and forth to the property
called them up said hey i've got a storage building and they moved
they quoted like 450 bucks like take it down move it over set it back up for 450 bucks compared
to the move for our mobile home that's like whoa okay hey i'm just thinking well that's what i told
you i said wow that's cheap i don't know that i would want to do that even if i had the equipment
i mean we're talking like 80 plus mile move take it down so cool so in addition to that we've got
i mean various other things we want to take down our fencing and stuff we're going to repurpose
take with us you have a lot of plants and flowers and it seems like this is actually the best time
of year to take up most of those because right now they're all dormant it's not started budding
like leafing out or anything yet so that is actually kind of high up on my priority list
to go ahead and get those put into transplant pots and hopefully the greenhouse will get put up
quick that we can go ahead and put them in the greenhouse just so the roots don't freeze yeah
no that's a good idea it's um quite a bit of money and plants and flowers and stuff so yeah might as
well try and save it right yep so while this video is dropping mid well towards the end of building
my workshop on the new property we did at least want to make this as a current real life update
today is february 7th 2022 yeah so to at least let you know because i know a lot of times
youtube versus reality there's a lot of things kind of you don't know what's what or wins when
so within that two-month timeline we are planning and and thinking that are probably early march
that we'll be over on tennessee lane tennessee land oh goodness yeah it's a big project
it is a huge project but one that we still continue to think will be worth it in the end
like three months when the worst of it's over okay yeah yeah we both we'll have to give an update on
how our stress has been how much hair have we lost how much grayer okay this is sam's beard now and
we'll see how gray i go here so we just wanted to make that quick update video for you guys i
know a lot of people or at least we feel like a lot of people out there are probably excited
um yeah should be excited about our move okay hopefully you are if nothing else you're tired
of seeing sam build his workshop well now we can share with you guys something else demolition
no demolition the greenhouse not demo demo we are carefully taking apart so we don't have to
replace any i totally thought you would jump on that you were like the demolition person i
know but i want to keep my this one nice and neat this doesn't take a sledgehammer to it
all right well disassembly-ish missions there you go trademark well guys stay tuned there is
going to be a lot of different stuff coming up taking stuff apart putting stuff together moving
so thanks for coming along if you have any questions or comments leave them
below otherwise we'll see you guys next time on one of our homesteads see ya bye
so yeah get you guys uh caught up with the bread the basket the bread basket and
should i say about the greenhouse yeah i gotta wipe my eyes i'm crying because that wind
i was gonna say something else man i had it it was gonna be good and i lost it okay i don't
