Hey folks is the visual quality good?

Even though certain things may have sentimental value to the previous owners, I'm sure they are very happy that you are taking care of the place and doing your best to return it to its original glory.

Having a cabin in the forest is a never ending battle with maintenance. Every time you leave the forest tries to take back its land. You are fortunate to have all the equipment and the knowledge to keep up with the forest.

You have really done a lot of work on this property. It is really looking good. Would just love to sit on the deck and look at the water.

So hard to get all you want to do finished when you are running a busy business full time, plus being a Dad. You are doing great, it just takes time with a large piece of property. Proud of you my friend.

When you live in places like this, or the Pacific Northwest where I live, you learn to listen for cracking of trees during storms. It happens, no matter how pretty they are, they can be dangerous. People who don't live in these places can't speak from experience. You live and learn. It's looking really good!

Trees also have a lifespan. When they've reached their end, they start dying. Too bad you don't have a sawmill where you can utilize your own trees to refurbish the place. The place looks great. You are doing good, hard work.

You can't please everyone! It's great to see a video on this cottage again. Stay safe and God Bless!!!

Thank you for maintaining the forest. Remove dead and dangerous trees, making room for new growth. Fire danger is also helped. USA

I believe that things Look a lot Better and Safer, Don’t Worry About what Other People Think!

I think it looks so much better, brighter, more inviting! Yes, lots of work to do. Glad it's you doing it and not me! LOL.

I'm so glad this wonderful cottage got a new family that can love it back to life ❤️. It'll be a terrific vacation rental. Not everyone understands tree life or lives there... Chop down what you need to! There's plenty more lol.

You are doing a fantastic job! I love how you explain your thought process on what your detailed plan is. You are such a hard worker with an exciting vision! Good luck!!

Good video brother. Man it looks awesome so far. Select cutting is good for the growth of newer and younger trees. The other property is looking good also especially since the deck is coming along, I like seeing updates on both properties.

I love how it looks without the trees. You can grow hardwood trees later down the road. I say keep cutting until you're happy that the widow makers are gone. This is your property and you have a family to keep safe from old rotten trees. Don't listen to others and think about what's right for you and yours. 💖

Hook up to the grid. One time and be done with it. Your generator will make a great back up system. Just my opinion.

It really looks nice there. I can't wait to see it after your done with it cause it will be a beautiful place

I’m glad to see you found your GoPro charger!!

You’re doing such a good job and removing trees is important. Blessings

I don't have mixed feeling's. Your the expert. You know what your doing. What I would do. Cut the tree you have to cut. Then replant with tree's.

The moment you handed over the cheque it became your property, the previous owner started your new adventure but it is now up to you to complete your vision for you and your own. I am sure it will be a magical place where fabulous memories are going to be created- best wishes (and perhaps a jealous twinge) from the uk.

You inspired people as far away as me in London to look at such investments . I hope I can do it someday

Do solar on a free standing frame behind the house, so that you can keep some trees between the house and the water

Nice to have u back absolutely luv the work on the cottage take care

It's great what you're doing with the lake house. Looking forward to seeing your progress with the property

Thanks for the update.

Looks so much better!! Can't wait to see the finished results!!

You are so lucky to have found such a beautiful property. Love it.

Hi! I haven't seen a vid of yours in a bit. Love what you've done so far!! Ignore what others say about the trees! I love trees just like the next person, but sometimes, there is no way around the removal AND you can always replant! You're amazing!!! Again, thanks for sharing with us!!! 😊

Such a unique piece of property & so beautiful. Wow you have done a lot of work.

I love that you are keeping it as natural as possible!!. Beautiful property 👌

Hi, bud, It's been a while yet what a great job!! Thanks for the sharing.

I absolutely love this property. All the best to you. 🦋

Thanks for the update man I was started to wonder where you were.

Just a beautiful place, so glad to see you happy and enjoying the natural setting and keeping it for the family. Makes me think about finding a get away place too.

If you had to hire this work done...you'd have broke the bank to get to this point!! And that's not the finished project...it's looking beautiful...and in order to preserve the integrity of all the buildings the trees have to go...I understand...37 fish and all where bass!!! WOW... How many houses are around this lake...?? What a special day for you and your Dad... Looking forward to seeing more renovations...it all takes just time!!! It's beautiful 🥰

Glad to see you back on your channel. Amazing property but you are realistic about a timeline and improvements. Be safe and enjoy it.

You have a great cabin! Your vision is great!.

The property looks totally amazing, you have done a fantastic job, congratulations 😊👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Safety is always the priority. Smart man.😊

Please Be very careful at the shore edge with what you clear. Erosion and rising water tables love cleared land. In the old days we charred the bottoms of tree posts to prevent insect and water rot.

Very nice place, and nice to relax... Good job and blessed day to you....

What a beautiful place congratulations on all the hard work . You're a man with the plan . Trying to build a future for your family . 🌲🌲🌲😊👍

Well keep up the good work and it will be what you want it to be. Looks good for the amount of time you have spent on it so far.

Absolutely loving watching your videos. Only found your channel yesterday and have watched 5 or 6 videos so far... The cottage is absolutely lovely. And, what makes me smile most is the effort and hard work you put into all this for your family and you. Reminds me of how hard my own dad worked for us all, and it is a great thing to see. You really are building a wonderful life. Amazing to see 🙂👍

I think you did a wonderful job taking some trees down. The place still looks fabulous.

Sir! You have heaven and to see all the view the love will bring enjoy. You have done so much already and wish you muchlove and blessing on this awesome beautiful land. Fishing for your daily meal.

This reminds me of our house in Maine. Every time you turned around a new project would come up. Never ending battle haha place looks great

Looking good. As a fellow small business owner, you need to remember how to take a day off of work! Cabin is coming along nicely 👍

It’s been awhile since I have seen you. I lost your station. God bless you and all the work you have done🥰😍🇺🇸😎😘 I have subscribed,

It’s gonna be a beautiful place when you’re done❤️❤️

You are doing really well considering full time work and the other properties that need “stuff” done…..fishing sounded like you needed that time out for some fun with your dad too. ❤️🇦🇺🇨🇦

This cottage takes my breath away ♥️

If you don't want to cut some of the trees close to the cabin, you could top them so they wouldn't touch the ca in if it should fall. Love what your doing.

Looks great. You should really sweep all those pine needles / leaves off that deck. So much work needed on that property but I can see it also and I’ld love to be the owner!

You so lucky you can do stuff like this. And it's really nice to follow. Thumbs up from Denmark 😉

Looking good. Good luck👍

You’re doing a phenomenal job. I live by myself in my house in Florida and there’s always something, always! I pride myself that I can do most of the small stuff but I just can’t do the big stuff anymore. The last thing I want to happen is for it to start falling apart. I noticed some of my facia when I was weed eating the other day it’s starting to droop like there might be something in there making a nest. yikes!

Looking better all the time 💐

Esa cabaña esta muy bonita y con los arreglos que pretendes hacer se vera mejor, que no daría uno por tener una propiedad asi con esa hermosa vista al lago, como para hacer una plataforma y ponerse a pescar en ese lugar, felicidades y saludos desde Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.

Just spent the morning getting "future problem trees". One of my maples next to the driveway had the core rotted out of it. And the one next to the house had a "V" in it, and the crack from the "V" had doubled in the last 7 years, so it had to go. But yeah, it is amazing how different a yard looks when you remove a few trees.

Looks way better. Shade promotes mold and fungus growth. Good sun helps keep everything dry and clean...🙂

Glad to see the cottage again.

Another great video full of quality work and common sense Looks really good

12 years in solar, I would get someone else to come out. I would never I'm my life , suggest to cut all those trees down. With the new high efficiency panels on the market today , we have installed panels in houses with alot more trees than this. Yes some will need to be cut down in the back, but all those trees? No.

Take the time to get it done the way you want, don’t worry about anyone else! It belongs to your family and you are the one! Enjoy the beautiful place ! Stay Safe

Beautiful place you owe no one an explanation that is your property! Be well 🙏☮️🇺🇸

Going to be such a beautiful place when it’s all done!

You were the right guy to buy this beautiful land & 'cabin'. I can see your vision as you explain it. It will be beautiful!

Amazing work. Please let me know when you are ready to rent. Suggest a drive way going to the right of the tree so driver can circle around tree words lake and face opposite lake to back boat in

I think it looks great opened up. Like you said it will be a lot safer. Boy what a difference it made.

Nice job it’s looking good you’re such a hard worker smart man

Your a smart young man . With the high water table trees do go unsafe and better to take down then have them fall and cost money . Like i have said before do the work now so you and your family can enjoy the place latter ! With the place empty for so long it was unloved now it is starting to look loved and care for. It is had to enjoy the place when you know there is work to be done. Thank for showing us the place , i can see the work and your plains !!!

I get the Respect you have for the beauty and age on trees, but truth is, no apologies needed, cause your removals of the old tree near the water is for safety as you said, but it will be beautiful when your done. Bravo

Missed your videos. Keep up the great work, looking amazing across the lake.

Beautiful Property but a lot of work in the end it will be well worth it

I would lay brick or railroad ties where you plan to put gravel right next to the grassy area going down to the proposed boat ramp. Will help keep the gravel from spreading out. Will keep rocks out of the grass so you aren't shooting stones all over whenever you mow the grass. I dearly wish I had that house. I remember seeing videos before anything was done. I would be in paradise out there. Build a nice pier with a medium size platform to fish from and to tie a boat to when you don't want to take it out of the water yet. Just an overall gem of a property.

I agree! Take your time with this gem of a property!! Its such a beautiful property!! Dont go Solar it's been proven that those panels end up being toxic to the earth because you cant recycle the panels. You have made alot of progress!! Looking Great!!! Looking forward to watching your progress and transformation of this property!!! ❤❤❤❤

I respect what you are doing to clean up the property and maintaining the trees that you can. I don’t agree with all the negative comments about the trees that you are removing. There are reasons why you need to ignore what people with little knowledge about tree safety have to say. As an electrical employee we had to trim back trees in a neighborhood in order to keep the branches away from the power lines. The residents of the neighborhood raised a stink over having their trees cut back. The leadership and our engineers had to have a town hall meeting to convince people why the work had to be done with no avail. That spring we had an ice storm and most of the trees were lost due to ice weighing down on the limbs . Had we cut back the longer branches as intended most of the trees would have been saved from the ice storm and saved the neighborhood days of power outage.

I found your channel and subbed bc of this cabin. Looking good.

Hello, I do understand busy !! gotta make hay while the sun shines we say around here :) you know...you don't have to have all the solar on the house! you can have your solar on a satellite station ! then run your cable(s) to the house. C can with all your tech in it and panels on the outside of it at a placement away from the house, self heated panels for snow clearing and a wind mill for back up during low light days. Seen them set up around here actually. just an idea... anyways... wish you and family all the best! Be well ! thanks for the vid.

Trees are beautiful but can cause great damage if to close to a building . I love the open view .

Sir.your family and home comes first.you do what you have to do.stay safe.

Thanks I've been wanting to see an update You might could do a remote solar panel array

Ended abruptly. Had me wanting more!

Oh, and I can see your vision... you're a hard worker! It will get done... I'm sure your family sees the vision too! 😊

Missaed Ya...what a gorgeous piece of property

Looking really nice!!! Its gonna be paradise when your done

this is a beautiful property. If you get this for sale let many know, this would be the ideal place for someone to retire at. Bought a house years ago, and same as this property, lots of dead bad trees due to wind storms, cut them down. Used the wood for fire wood.

You don’t have to put solar panels on the roof. You can clear some ground near the house, install your panels at or near ground level. Then run the cables to the cottage. That’ll save you from cutting so many trees down in front of the cottage.

The trees near the lake are v beautiful, keep them, trees prevent soil erosion too

Love the property, love the video.. Watching from Jamaica. Will you be listening on Airbnb.. My family and I will be the first to visit. Hopefully be ready by summer 2023

Hi from New Zealand, where we also say Eh a lot. The people who sold the 'cottage' will be absolutely stoked at how their baby is again being showed some Love, and that must be gratifying cos they obv had shown the place the love it deserves. I trust you have got to know them, or have they commented here as you do your 'progress reports?' I hope the guys health has stabilised too, what a kick in the gut it musta been when they had the long soul search when Dad was initially diagnosed, and eventually reaching the awful conclusion was no doubt a real blow. On the bright side, Dad is still alive so thats something out of the wreck for him and his mrs id imagine. Dad, should by fluke you read my comment, this owner must be just what you hoped for in a successionist to the lovely hide away you and her got up and cracking. Skills to the pair of you, perhaps when its completed and rentable, you and the wifey might like to go stay for a month or so. One just never knows whats around the corner in this dear wee thing we call Life. God Bless to all involved.

Hey buddy its your friend Rocco from Connecticut its looking good my friend there's alot of work there I know that well be good my friend stay safe thanks

You have to create some chaos to find the beauty. I am a tree hugger having said that I can see where you've put so much thought into what ,where ,and why you are cutting and it looks beautiful. The road much applause for as wel When you do the drive way in front will you replant theb7shes somewhere else. Thankyou. Blessings ✨️ to you 🙏 ✨️ and yours 💕

I would love to spend Christmas 🎄 with my family great place I've bin following the cabin from the first 📽🎬you posted

We pressure washed our decking and it wrecked it. It removes something from between the grain. If you can clean it without pressure washing the decking might last longer. Good luck, looks great so far and interesting to see how you are working on it.

Wow,The property is looking good can’t wait to see more.Don’t know if you know about it but there’s a company that deals with solar called 4 Patriots might be something to look into.

Make sure u check out all the trees trunk that surrounding the cottage.Hit the trees trunk with a solid small wood/branch n hear *the sound it made* .If the sound with *long hollow loud eco* that mean the trunk is rotten beneath n inside the trunk too .U have to *take down that tree* b4 it falling apart.Sharing is caring ✌️

I live in southeast Louisiana. I showed no mercy getting trees taken out; anything that could touch the house if came down in a hurricane. After the last couple of years we had, especially with Ida last year, I’m glad I did. We still have plenty of woods on the property.
