>> Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. So, we just bought this property here. Everything was built in the mid70s except this garage here. It's about 20 years old and it's been overgrown and neglected for a very long time. The house about 5 years of vacancy. The rest of the land around it really hasn't been maintained in 15 or 20. A lot of these trees were never supposed to be here. I looked at historic aerials like Google Earth of this place. Everything in here where you see these pallets of bricks was part of the yard and it will be that way again. That's what we're going to work on today. As you can see, I got a little carried away last night and just started knocking stuff over because I was having fun. And I found another small pile of bricks that I didn't know about before. And I went on the internet and I looked up what is the most powerful leaf blower and did some research and I bought one. So, we're going to use that, too. Now, before I get to cutting down anything else, I should probably drag out of here what I had fun doing yesterday. Um, cuz cutting it down is the fun part. Getting it out of there is the not so fun part. [music] >> Apple beans [music] where the rips taste so good from the track to the booth. He's calling the shots on a cold connecting the dots. [music] Yeah, he's a racing machine. Well, I'd say that's pretty
