As thorough and meticulous the previous owner was, I'd check thru as much documentation as I could locate in the property. Because I'd bet there is plans, layout, schematics to that house, etc in there somewhere.

I started watching this when you bought the place stumbled onto it whoever owned it put an insane amount of work into it absolutely wonderful and I see now why things are being cleared out my dad who was born and raised in the UB tells me all the time never to let trees grow by the camp because they come down in a Storm

Use an induction tone generator and wand pick-up to locate your power lines. Check with your local power company. Even though this is a private power system, they usually will help you. There is also a local cable contractor that has the same equipment that may do it for a fee.

Why do people not see all the trees that are still there? It is always better to keep huge trees away from your house. I have seen houses ruined by trees that fall on houses during bad storms. Had them fall on a house we were renting before. Thankfully we were not hurt. I think it is looking better all the time. When it is clear and grass is growing it will be beautiful. 😊👍

I would LOVE to see a Lighthouse 🙂I am amazed at the amount of work you have been doing there, much more open than last video I saw. The cable was very unfortunate but suppose that is a difficulty with places where you are not sure about previous works. Fixed now and another step forward. It will look fantastic once everything has settled down. I would be doing the same as you, given the equipment you have. Clearing most stuff away that could fall on any of the buildings. Opening it up to help dry it out and then grassing or smaller plantings. Benefitting from the more open views as well.

I'm trying not to laugh 😂 I feel your pain. We run into the same crap. You never know where sh*t is buried. Ask the homeowner they think it's over here. When you need to find the utilities the whole yard torn up. When you don't need to find it, is that a root..... **** it's not a root 🤬

Just a thought on the odd direction on the wire going to the the genny building. Is it possible that the genny shed may have been moved or relocated from another position more in the direction where the wire was headed. Nice progress on the yard clearing. Great to hear that you will keep the property and take up residence. Have a nice day. Tom at the NB-NS border.

Hopefully the electrician can trace all the cables for you then you can see what goes where and if need be relocate into a better more logical format. Make sure you have it drawn up in some form so that if repairs or digging up you know where is clear.

@dalegereaux1863 Жыл бұрын

Here's a dumb question. When your cabin was built, did the original owners have to have the electrical connections inspected ? If they did would there still be a plan somewhere with the city or county or whoever it is that inspected ? It might be worth checking into just so nothing else gets dug up accidentally.

The amount of clear felling in this is now ridiculous. Way way way beyond necessary. Every episode is now more tree removal. I used to be a fire fighter and this place is going up if there is a fire. But it hasnt done. There is no need for stump removal. This has all just developed into boys with toys using them because they can.

Lol oh my. Everyone with common sense knows that’s clearing away from Your house helps in the case of a fire. No need to continue to watch and wait till the outcome. Thanks for watching while you did

@pipwood2172 Жыл бұрын

Replying to the reply to mine. As a past Canadian and Australian firefighter the answer is no. The amount of heat that travels ahead of a fire would take your place out even if you hadnt dried all the area around it. What goes up in a bushfire is often not caused by flames. Your other property is open enough it seems from film to have a go a defending it but what was selective pruning has now gotten to clear felling. The more you expose a log cabin to sun and heat the less heat in the air is needed in a bushfire for the whole thing to explode. Visions evolve, yes but if you go back to your first dozen episodes you will see that things have changed radically. Its no longer a remote log cabin in the bush. I hope you are planning on hauling in many tons of topsoil for all that grass

@workplaytv Жыл бұрын

@@pipwood2172 absolutely we will be hauling in a lot of top soil. The idea is at the cabin you will have a treed/open grass area with a nice breeze and If you want deep forest you walk out the driveway 2 minutes and enjoy the other 30 acres
