Bonne chance pour la suite 💪💪

Thanks very much. Downloaded the PDF. Will definitely make 2 for my workshop.

hey jay, i have a quote for you, ( Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life)!!

Jay, I made one years ago using an old AC blower was happy w/it then saw a video stating these blowers worked better AGAINST restrictions (duct friction) it was hard to believe, I went down to shop & placed a small board partially in front of discharge - - - the fan increased in speed just doing that & now motor does run cooler. FTER TESTING I installed a board partially covering discharge opening - - still using same , works great

Jay, you are truly living the good life and at the end of the day the end results will be well worth the blood, sweat, and tears and "poison ivy". AND, a big caution on the poison ivy that a lot of people don't realize, internal poison ivy from breathing the dust and when you are burning debris, inhaling the smoke. It can damage your lungs for life, be careful my friend. Continue the updates, I always look forward to seeing them. Take care.

Staying debt-free is far more important in the long run. Being debt-free you'll both sleep better.

全是电动工具，够浪费的😂用这些现代工具，这样简单的拼接是个人都可以吧。并没有什么牛逼的地方

haha, yea your right on the Grand River reference, or Telegraph / Van Dyke / Gratiot / Woodward ....

I have just built my first pair after having to resaw some wood using the commercial versions to help hold the stock. I´ll experiment with my brand-new push blocks and push sticks soon. Thanks for the explanations.

You should go get Google Earth and turn back the time on the aerial photos of your property and see what shows up. Maybe you'll see where all your ditched roads are.

Jay, since you’re getting a mill, why don’t you buck those bigger downed trees and stack them to be milled later on? Use the lumber for siding etc. on your property. Eliminates the need to burn them.

I have a 60x40 shop in the middle of Texas. DO NOT skip getting closed-cell spray foam over the whole shop You will NEVER regret it. Mine was sprayed just over a year ago and was right at $10K.

Mate, watching your videos for a very long time: When you just said you‘re „not a big fan of solar“ it reminded me a lot of you saying that you don‘t fancy cnc machining in one of them videos from ages ago…

Honest question. How much weight would this hold? I have a single car garage, so storage is needed.

You should also consider the water bill with supplied water. Where I live it costs me about $1000 per year for water and I also have large rain water containers for watering gardens trees, etc...A well is $20000 now and no future water bills. So $20000 now or $20000 for water bills in the next 20 years (depending of course the cost of water in your area). Both have their pros and cons. I wonder if some of those trails with ditches on both sides are actually tire ruts from heavy use when the property was used for tree farming.

Crap!

On those big hardwoods you want to save, make sure you cut those vines and try to get them out of the canopy. They will eventually kill the trees. Also, can you get someone with a portable sawmill in to your property? All that pine can be sawn into valuable lumber to use for your shop and/or home and save you some money in the future.

I’m a fellow former Michigander, you described very well all of the reasons I would never live in Mississippi. I lived for 3 years just over the line into Louisiana and worked in New Orleans and my brother lives in Mississippi near Poplarville. I find southeast Tennessee to be a good compromise between the north and the south.

lol grand river, awesome. I just celebrated a little “hey that’s us”

get yourself an ebike, mountain bike and have a field day crusin' that property.

Good for you Jay on the “Choices”!

1:24:06 37. Cue that Veritasium video!

Hey Jay …. You can put me down for $20.00 to name one of the trails “Yzerman Lane”!

Yes on city water. You can do a well in the future when finances allow for it. Yes on spray foam insulation and HVAC for the shop. Yes on a 20' deep lean-to. The tours of the trails are very confusing without a map and since you don't want to show the map I'd suggest stopping the trail tours until it's finished and easier to comprehend. Welcome to showering in Arizona. Out here we have the cold water cranked up with just a little bit of hot water and we still have excessively hot showers. And by the way, our annual rainfall is less than 9 inches. Time for some TrueWerks high SPF summer work garments.

It’s the Ron Popeil trail system, 😀! A lot of progress in a short time, great work!

$15k or 18k for underground electric is a great price. My Co-Op in Central TX charges $100-$200 per linear foot for underground vs $8 ft for overhead.

I find your perspectives on solar and rainwater collection a little contradictory--with rain, it's a natural resource falling from the sky that it makes perfect sense to harvest and use, but not so with solar? For the record, issues with recycling panels have already been solved and are scaling up rapidly, and most panels produced nowadays will last 40-50 years before recycling is even a concern.

I am trying to find the project course to purchase, but the links are dead, and I can't find it manually.

I watch your videos here in the UK I am disabled but feels like I’m there with you riding around your property looking forward to the next episode

You’re wise to keep details to yourself. Don’t be like those airhead “influencers” who reveal every detail of their lives. I think deciding names among your family and especially involving your daughter would create meaningful memories and connection with those details. I’m so happy to see your updates. Exciting. Real. You’re living the life. May God continue to bless you. So cool to see and hear. Forgot to mention, make shop have an RV garage door, very useful for many things.

You might get by with no heat or air if it's insulated and hopefully well shaded by those trees. Although where you're at you'd no doubt need a kick butt dehumidifier especially for the summer months.

Do people not drink rainwater where you are?

I hope we get to see a trail map when you finish discovering all the trails. SE Michigan here, so I get the grand river reference. 😀 great job with all the work.

Your property is awesome.

With you being in the boonies, and your Jason in the wood movie set, my city dweller hackles raise. Do you keep a pew pew readily on you?

Have you considered milling your pine trees and using it for the shop/house?

Please keep the trail names related to your family and closest friends. Your sharing of the development progress is enough.

Tough stuff. Hang in there, man. Best of luck.

Have you looked at Google earth? It can go back in time with aerials

I am really sensitive to poison ivy and if I get it as bad as you have it , I don’t mess around with just creams or ointments, I call the doc and get a prescription for Prednisone. Take as directed and it clears right up. The only side effects I get ,is it can make you hungry but a lot of relief from the ivy crap . Good luck ,really looking forward to your journey 😎

Recently I saw this piece of equipment and thought about your property. ruclips.net/video/xY7eXbF-DQI/видео.htmlsi=LXHpzSqRI7dSnnxk This channel has a lot of property management and they love different equipment. Ha. I just finished the WHOLE video, 3 hours later. Love the journey. Thanks for taking us along.

You don't have to utilize the insulation in the shop, but INSULATE IT NOW! For the next 20 years you can keep the doors and windows wide open. But someday you'll want that insulation so add it now while it's a lot easier and cheaper to do. Building now with preparation for A/C down the road will feel much more comfortable in 50 years. If you don't need the lean-to now then just build the shop with the preparation for the lean-to that you really want. There will come a time when then time and cash will match the need. But if you feel you need to do it now then go for it. I would think that a map showing th basics (road, clearing, creek) with "these trails are in this corner of the property" could find a decent balance of public information and privacy, but if you're not comfortable with than then we will survive just fine. You're doing great. Thanks for the entertainment, and good luck!!!

I'm excited for you to create wayfinding signs with all of the trail names on them. It'll be fun when you update the map with all of these new trails and then refer to them by their names once you get around to that. Great progress, Bates fam!

That's an incredible amount of rain. We get 6.5 inches in a year when it's good.

I’m a home builder in Colorado.. 1500’ of underground electrical service in my area would cost $40-50k (Without excavation). I developed a large property with a couple homes, did overhead service. Roughly 2000’ of service lines, poles and three transformers. We have well over $50k into our service. It’s amazing to me, as a builder, how much prices fluctuate compared to different areas of the country. $15k is a lot of money but it’s CHEAP compared to here!!

I recently bought and moved onto a 64 acre lot and hiking it I'm findind old drainage ditches, boulder lanes, clearings and old big apple trees. Watching this reminds me a lot of my property. From the stories I've been told, they were established 2-3 hundred years ago by settlers. Building their water collection and homesteads. Berries and fruit trees all over, old foundation walls, cisterns. Lots to be discovered. Enjoy your land!

check your schreader valve on your tire

Freaking love it! Im jealous of the size you purchased. Im in a similar boat but only 12acres. Its so exciting to see your excitement! Cheers from TX

I got poison ivy before, and I used brake clean to spray all over it, and it did a pretty good job removing it. Use with caution because it has hazards using it as well.

Old logging roads? My thoughts on water mirrors the city, collection combo comments. When you build the fiber, I would keep both runs to buildings, you never know when you need fast internet to structures, and when it is in, you can daisy chain them to 1 provider POP. When you start building structures make sure you put in CAT 6 Everywhere! Wireless limits things like cameras to a server, remote devices like locks and can be unreliable at distance. You can go 320' with CAT 6, but I have gone 400 without issue plugged into a good switch. Plus wire speed is much higher than even the best wireless, distance not withstanding. Having done what you are doing I know a few things and how I had to change things. Take some 2 foot re-bar everywhere the utilities cross a road or trail on each side. In 15 or so years when you want to 'a thing' you can just metal detect and find the 'real' wire and not just use from memory or drawing. Street signs sound cool, but gate EVERY entrance to the property with solar power, PTP control to the central server in the house or shop, and cameras. It is the age we live in now. 20' lean-to for sure, I can't tell you how many times I needed 2 more feet on mine, buy once, cry once. You did good on the choice of tractor, a dozer or skid steer, nope, contract that out; what I would get next? The largest auction dump truck I could afford. It's not like you need to leave the property except to dump trash or pick up stone so a cheap one would work. Then when you are done, sell it. As far as skin problems? Find an Avon person or go online and get Skin So Soft oil. Multi use stuff, it works. Bugs hate it. Great work, I look forward to your progress.
