As someone who's just moved into my Tiny House, the excitement of finding some land to park is next level!! I'm always so impressed by your determination and your motivation to just get things done - what I wouldn't do for a Stephen!! I love his carport!!

Couldn't your neighbour at least have moved Steven out of the shed? 😮

Hurray, they are moving on your property. Cheers 🍻 to that. 😊 More fun memories are coming up with all of you.

Love your new friend Steven happy you won't be alone will have people staying with you can't wait for next video ❤

"Happiness is meant to be shared" love that thought.

Good lol

Where is the instruction manual. Be careful on the turns, dont. Tip over Please

I just said the same thing :-)

My thought too 😂

Ha! Came here to say the same thing.

What an awesome story! Love it! thanks for getting it lol

I grew up the same way. Dad and Grandad had a business together. ❤

Well done Max. That is the only piece of machinery that can get thru our red mud. I'm green with envy. I live near you. I recognise everything and I love your channel. It's nice to see something so familiar on KZfaq and I certainly won't disclose your location. I can't wait to see what you do with the CAT. (they're soooo expensive!)

I’m from West Virginia too! ❤

It has been a long time coming, so excited!

@@MaxandOccy 💪🏼

Max, so excited for you and Occy to have some full time friends close by. The property is plenty big enough for sure. You and they will both benefit from being together. I am sure you have many other projects planned and the man and woman power will be a big plus. Best of luck to you all as you move forward together. Looking forward to seeing Occy romping with his new pal.

I feel and thought the same!

Thanks Susan!!!! I'm really looking forward to seeing what the future brings x

Great call!

@@MaxandOccy I had to use a cement block on mine to get my boat in , PLUS the blocks to hold it down in the winds which I used to tie it down to. And yes I'm jealous of mini Cat Stevens.

I hear ya!

Don't change his name. That was hilarious 😂

I so nearly got a tractor!! But I was told for my place with steep slopes I'd be better with an excavator. I'd love BOTH 👀

Impressive Max how well you work that excavator 💪😜

Great addition to you place , your friends also

@@MaxandOccy I had a Kubota 4 x 4 tractor with diff lock - could go anywhere... but yep can tip if you lose it.

? Unless you have knowledge you care to share you should probably just stuff a sock in it. No need making disparaging remarks about people you do not know! If you have loving concern for a friend , just be careful is sufficient .

Haha, love it!!!

​​@@spongebobsqueeze Steven is the cat machine that Max bought. It's not a person 😂

@@MaxandOccy Yeah don't flick that covered red switch! 😲🫨😉

@@spongebobsqueeze there’s a transformers sticker on the side of the excavator. It’s a pop culture reference.

Couldn't agree more Annie! And yes, so stoked, so many wins 🙌🏼💛

haha thank you!!

I love that idea too!

Thanks Melissa!

Sure is xx

Thanks, busy times ahead!!

Thanks Philippa!!!

Thanks!!

@@MaxandOccy I’m not sure if it’s all magnolias, but I know for sure that some magnolia flowers are edible (for humans). You can add them to salads raw, or pickle them.

Haha I will pass those kind words on to the king!

I know!!! Stoked

I've been watching their KZfaq for ages and they're so down to earth and awesome just like Max, so stoked!

I know, that was awesome that he let Max dry him with the blower! Hilarious.

His favourite bit!

Yes Agree - loved the "hairdryer " ! 🦋

Actually that’s “Yusuf Islam” formerly known as Steven Georgiou aka “Cat Steven”

😂

@@PHN-2024 I am aware. He is a man of peace, by whatever name.

@@goofe.washington953 Did you know His Name was once on a United States Terrorist Watch List and He was Prohibited from entering the Country?

ROTFLOL 😂

EXCELLENT ADVICE

Thanks for the thoughtful advice, Joanne!

Totally agree

Totally agree with this as some of our friends went through a bad situation in Byron and they lost a lot financially, emotionally and lots of time. Some of our other friends are going through this in Coffs Harbour and are having to go through the court process. It all sounds exciting and amazing at the start and you all start out as best friends but as things go on and people decide on different things and dynamics change things can get bad quickly especially when financial things come into play. Good luck! Love your videos and excited for you to have Stephen! 🎉

Yes, I was going to add the same thing. A cohabitation agreement or something like that is important . Also, I imagine you will have looked into necessary permits, etc. Best of luck.

Haha love my boy

Thanks Virginia!!

That thing is a beast! Have fun with it!

So true!

Thanks!!! I'm worried what I will do with So much power haha

​@Max andOccy 😂 Max the first thing I IMMEDIATELY thought was Max is going to build a swimming pool! 😅

And if Max ever wants a side hustle he could hire himself and Cat out 😀

That is a FANTASTIC idea! Such a wonderful song and you are right about symbolism it has for this property and Max and Occy. Oh maybe some wonderful artist that watches could do something that has those words and a sunset... That would be awesome! 😄🥰

Thanks Heather, will do!

Soooo floofy! and wayy less yellow haha. Everytime it makes me think I should bath him a little more often 😅 Thank you and yes welcome crew! 💛

You and me both 😍

I'm grateful it's the same in the UK. I spent a small fortune buying my home, I'd not be pleased with a commune springing up next door. Certainly wouldn't be happy with all that concrete!

@@samanthaw1419 If the commune had awesome people, like Max and his friends, I would be so very happy.

@@samanthaw1419 why would you not be happy with someone putting a floor in their garage/workshop? As for putting tiny homes on a block of land as big as Max and Occy's, he wouldnt be able to do it without planning approval and with the amount of land he has (and trees) he can position a heap of tiny homes there without even being able to see them if he doesnt want to. He's not exactly living in the suburbs.

⁠@@samanthaw1419my closest neighbours are almost a kilometre down the road. I don’t think they’re gonna be too bothered by a couple more people sharing my 5 acres.. And as for the concrete, why would that bother you as a neighbour? You’ll never see it and it wouldn’t be close enough to affect you in any way? Just curious

Already earring his keep!

Haha I only showed the good bits!

The trap has been set 😎

Hahahaha! This excavator is like one giant weed tool ..so satisfying diggin out those stumps, trees & roots! Max & Eamon = tractor digger wars 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

Good call, Pippa!!

Thanks Doreen!

Thanks Lydia!!

Haha fair enough!!

Haha, well it felt like it!

Haha my thoughts exactly!

Interesting....

He really did a great job on that kitchen! I like the booth dinette too.

Thanks Mary!!

Good pick up!

@@MaxandOccy I think Scavenger was the name of the excavator Constructicon. Might have been Scapper though.

Thanks Renee, they are lovely!!

Haha classic

Thank you, such a lovely thing to say!

They sure are!!

Haha he is unique!

Oops! Thanks for the info!

@@MaxandOccy No worries I'm really hoping you succeed with the property and your plans for it. Just another thing I'll mention, is to check and double check what the zoning regs are with your local Council, regarding Tiny Homes, what is allowed and what isn't, access to bring the Tiny Home up the road leading to your property, the need to advise neighbours of any heavy transit trucks trailering a Tiny home to your property, etc. Some Australian states have weird laws regarding putting a tiny Home on your land, on top of that some councils then again also have different requirements compared the state ones as well. Some councils allow you to have a trailable Tiny Home for short stays or for your permanent main accommodation but you have to leave the wheels on the trailer to allow the Tiny Home to be classed as a "Caravan". Other councils require you to put down slabs and piers to sit the Tiny Home on, run water and power to it (again, permits required for that) but then for the permission to put the Tiny Home in, you now have to pay extra council rates on the "dwelling" as it means more revenue to the council, Council Waste Services have to pickup an extra bin on Bin Days, etc!! Not wanting to be a contrarian with this, but I remember the hassles you had with someone dobbing you in a few months ago when you were working on the cabin, and someone had to come out and inspect what you were doing, so you really do need to plan this out before attempting any work as there maybe permits you have to get before doing any remedial work (concrete slab foundations, piers, Trees that are in the road, etc) and of course making sure you don't piss off the neighbours, as the Council will possibly take their point of view over yours as they've been living there longer than you have been. Unfortunately, you buy a property these days and it's still not quite all yours, someone somwhere has a hand out to allow you to do what you want! Fingers crossed this goes well for you and Occy, m8!.

So excited for you! I'm guessing you've run all these plans through your local Council?

@@MaxandOccy Usually in the UK its smaller pea gravel just to stop larger rocks from damaging the water pipes. Nice work though!

Yep, feels good!

How does a community on ones land work? Labor for stay? Contract? I am in new york and anyone staying for 2 weeks or more can take the owner to court and claim to stay and live on property. Even if the owner doesn't agree. Is community different?

@@cutie-44 everything is based on the agreements and they should be in writing and legally binding. Human nature and life circumstances can change things. That’s why agreements are necessary, and even sometimes need to be amended or updated as laws change.

@@MaxandOccy have legal agreements drawn up between you anyway. Seasons change and so can hearts. That’s your investment and you must guard it. I’m optimistic about your friends and plans, but guidelines and guardrails are always wise in this day and age, because the future can be so unpredictable.

​​Thank you so much for sound advice the Lord does give wisdom and knowledge when we ask. GOD bless you in all things!​@@trueloveingod2691

I have to say I am looking forward to having more people around!

Thanks for the support!!!
