What happens here

Standing by a large brush pile, the creator explains the specific location for the future permanent home. He emphasizes the importance of selecting a building site with good drainage and mentions lessons learned about not building on a steep hill. The current location is described as a 'knoll,' allowing water to naturally flow away from the foundation. The segment also includes drone footage of already cleared areas around a pond, showcasing past efforts in smoothing out rough spots inaccessible to a tractor.

Goal: Identify and explain the rationale behind the chosen home site and initial land improvements.

Tools and materials

  • Drone — Capturing aerial footage to assess land and show progress
  • Brush Pile N/A — Marking the proposed location for the permanent home

looking good and running good so here's why we're building here where this brush pile is is where the house is going to be the land slopes off in every direction so something we've learned something I've learned here is don't build your house on a hill if you can help it and always think water water water I want to get water away from your home away from your foundation so the better draining soil and the faster you can get water to shed off the better off you'll be so build your house on a knoll and let that water fall away from it up here and you'll see on the drone footage is another hillside that we're going to be clearing off in the next year or two and over the next few days over the next few vlogs we'll get your progress of all the stuff that's going on back over here and this corner of the field we'll fly over all this when we get done talking over in that field is another area that he's gonna clear and this go around so in other words we're probably going to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of three to five thousand dollars to get a few more places cleared out he's stumping right now digging out the stumps let's get the drone I'll fly you around and I'll show you how we're planning all this out well let's take off right from the front porch here this just is an awesome perspective of your farm if you guys are thinking about getting a drone I recommend this DJI Mavic Pro I'll post a link down in the video description I think there's a link in every video I just I'm really impressed with this thing so what we're doing or flying from the front porch over to the pond we just passed an area of planted Pines they're about ten inches tall right now this little spot right here was a rough
