Wow! The new propane tank and all of the rock is so nice. Makes me want to do raking of it but I think my back would give out pretty quick. Where there is a will, there is not always a way. Looks like a real homestead property now to keep trespassers away. I wouldn't want to go on someone's property and now there can be no mistakes. The trash incident makes me feel angry. Whatever happened to 'The customer is always right.'. I think it was to keep and grow their business and to stay out of trouble with the law. Maybe there are no trash competitors out there. Lying to steal gripes my soul. I am glad that you know how to set up and operate the cameras that you have. I saw the pen for baby Tid to go out and get some fresh air. Looking forward to seeing more of him in the future. I have to get out more so don't feel like taking on another company. Face Book and You Tube keep me busy enough. Wow! I think that was a good price for all of that rock. Boy, you sure do gave a lot of work to do now with thst, but little by little and it will be done.
I certainly understand that first part of your video I decided to put out a garden for exercise, and that's exactly what I'm getting. It was I thought was a tomato plants but finally the cherry tomatoes and some other small tomato plants are doing okay and producing tomatoes, did I say small little tomatoes cherry tomatoes to be exact.beans because they weren't really coming up, same with the okra and the sunflowers. Are these little shorts stepping things I may or may not even see sunflower, I got three Cosmo blooms and zinnin bloom. where that one zenith plant is was a bunch of other ready to blossom, but oh no the blossom rotted. So I just pulled (.Zinnia) them up. , I am not expecting anyting from the yellow neck squash. I could go on and on what I have got set out and still in there baby stage, I don't know what I did any different then several years back I had two successful back-to-back gardens. Well any way Eric, say Hi Obei and Tara.....exercising basically that is what I'm getting.
Thanks for another cool video Eric. Say, If you find a nice sized piece of chain link fence. Lay it out flat and tow it behind something ( maybe tater tot)? to flatten out the cinders. It's called a "poor mans drag" it will make the driveway look really good and much easier on the back. I used a five foot fence post and tied the chain link to it and then attached it to my trailer hitch. You can place a couple concrete blocks on it closest to the hitch to weigh the drag down for more effect.

Maybe a lawn roller to tamp the rock into the clay a bit.
I admire your skills Eric! Especially setting up your security cameras that have proven to be priceless too many times! May God continue blessings 🙏 Sending grandma ❌⭕❌⭕ , Iris 👋

Oh! I almost forgot to send love to the "Tiny TOTs" Tara Opie Tig 😘🥰🤗
Love this new chapter of your life, Eric! You really seem happy ❤
Wow great deal on huge propane tank, only $5 rental fee a month worth it! And rock was cheap too. PS- drill a small hole in bbq grill lid and add a lid thermometer thet selp for bbqs for just that purpose. Has a lil wingnut on backside. 1 minute install 👍
Cool to see them spread the rock. Some hard work to take out but little by little it will be done and great fix when the rain comes. Need some helpers to come and come and visit. Or an ATV and drag a section of chain link. Make it look more and more like home base. Big propane ! Good idea and comfort! Dang …good handling of the crane and no dents in the RV. Looking forward to updates.
You talk about getting things done in a small town ... Well I wanted a shed built, talked to a lot of guys that build sheds ... they never call back..... so after about a year of that, I built the shed. Then I wanted 120 feet of fence built, same thing, I waited around, a few months went by ..... so I just got done building the fence. So, for now on I will just do it myself. My next thing is more solar. Rock is hard work spreading it around .... Yep ... did that too.
Pour cement dust on rocks it will set after rain . Should harden without ruts
That rock is fabulous.. Love the color... Can't wait to see it all spread out and leveled...
Welcome to home ownership.

Dude, you are now a property owner. You have to learn how to bribe the garbageman once in a while with $10 or 20 bucks. That’s just the way it works.

@@jamesscott1932ya, they like putting the cans in right front of my garage door!
Hey Eric I never said anything bad about it all but this is my opinion... make sure you put some rock under the RV. Be safe and thanks for sharing! You know you can rent a tractor for a week for about 1k. It'll be worth it next time you get gravel for the camp area. You get alot of stuff done and if you play video games you can surely figure out the functions. Its nothing to it. Good luck and keep up the great work on your property. It looks great I have 3 acres here in GA and enjoy it daily as a hobby farmer.
We have the same size propane tank, and it lasts, on average, four to five months before our provider does an "auto-refill" at around thirty gallons. One driver even services/checks every tank when he works the two (rather rural) counties that make up the provider's service/coverage area. By the way, our tank provides for all the hot water we use as well as for our kitchen range.
Good move with the huge propane tank! What about installing an RV sewer dump station? You need a nice metal rake and a wheelbarrow! Good luck Eric.
That rock looks good , if you can rent a skid steer for a day or two may make sense for them to bring more yardage then you can spread it faster and compress it a little
Eric, same here in SC... Waste management doesn't always pick up my trash and when I call to report it, they say they did... So why is my can still full?? Yeah right. My local propane delivery also charged me $60 a year to rent the tank so that's not unusual but sure wish they would tell you up front. Also, darlin, the thing you assembled and cooked your burger in is a "grill" ... "Barbecue" is what you eat! 😉 Can't wait to meet your new pup. So you have Tara, Opie, and Tig ... I know they are characters from SoA, but do ya realize their names spell TOT? 😂
When building my tiny, I had gravel and concrete dust hauled and it dressed everything up! Thats very satisfying. Good to see you happy!!
Good Cat Day!
Regarding propane, you can also buy an adapter to refill the little propane tanks, from the big one, yourself.
Please be sure to keep the hummingbird food really fresh!! Research please.
Have a VAN TASTIC DAY
You'll slay it with that rake!! 👍Now get a wheel barrow or yard wagon.
What you are experiencing, is what I've put up with all of my life, trying to get things done as a female. I tried to buy belt dressing and the clerk argued with me, that I didn't need it, and wouldn't show me where it was on the shelf. Got it from another source and it's just what I needed! I've tried to build a house, clear the property, etc and everything has been a fight, with no shows, or those that showed didn't bring tools or came drunk, or told I didn't know what I was talking about, or wouldn't follow my directions. You have it rough but, you don't know anything about what could be for you in a different body. I would put up more than one trail cam, I would also put up a chain across the road to keep out invaders. But, that's just me speaking from my life experiences
I really like the gray/black rock you got for your driveway. Things are coming together at your homestead. The propane tank was an awesome idea.
Was gonna say " put up another camera"! This happens in Williams too!!
Yeah, you got the rock, propane and even had the garage picked up!
Great video. Your property is looking great
The black rock looks awesome, great choice. You certainly have this coming together nicely! Thank you for sharing the costs.
Boom Truck. A crane operates with cable/pully system.
In regards to the rocks...they are exactly the same...but different lol...glad to see all the progress...kinda neat to see how all this kinds of stuff is done and loved the opening with the kitties!
You can always drill a small hole in the lid of you bbq and put in your own thermometer. Love the rock.
Lots of projects getting done. Cool.
Come monsoon season those cinders will be worth thier weight in gold.
I've been debating whether I should heat my future cabin with propane or diesel.
The rock is def on my 2do list, and a bridge tile so I can cross the creek to get access to my land. Now I'm saving up for a new zero turn mower. The Toro 75734- 34" cut
Eric that was a great video 👍🏻 you’re base camp is coming along nicely.
Looks great with the added rock, little shoveling but worth the results. You headed up to Wash st this year?
Can you fill your propane tank in the RV from the 120 pounder before you roll out?
Eric is very sentimental which is endearing. Names for things, firsts, etc. Very cute.
Love the progress eric
That rock really ties the camp together.
You need to to do drone aerial views of this progression , think that would be cool to see,
You rock Eric! Enjoying the homestead videos.
a landscaping rake would make short work of that
What you really could have used was a Bobcat. It would make quick work out of spreading and leveling out those piles.
Lots of scooping and raking to a nice drveway.
Just chill buddy. You had an awesome day after all. Looks really nice.
It's nice to see you so authentically happy. You keep us entertained and we look forward to all your videos. Following you on Patron also.
Build a "CATIO" ( patio ) for your cats. Enclose an entire tree ( sides and top ) for your kitties to play on. ERIC'S EPIC CATIO VIDEO.
I like your rock. I hope you have gloves for all the shoveling and raking ahead of you. Enjoy 😊
Wish you could launch your drone and show us a view of the layout
happy fourth of july...enjoy!
are you able to fill the RV propane tank from the large tank?
I would highly suggest you go rent, a bobcat, or somebody who owns a bobcat to level it out and compact it too. I’m only mentioning all this stuff because of life experiences myself.
Eric, pour hot water down the side of your propane tank (the hotter the better) and it will frees to the top of the gas. Just like freon it gets colder when it gets hot or the closer to atmospheric pressure. 👍👍 looking good. They can't fill the tank all the way because you need compressed air to move the gas out of the tank. (Pressure)

Ours in the area is either 72 or 78 percent.
As for garbage pickup, my favorite convenience. I could use a bit of gravel, though. It gets slick after rain or snow melt. I like your new digs.
Driveway came out really nice your property is looking great. Your happiness surely does show.
Looks great, id devise a drag to pull behind the smart car, i use a stripped down old box spring mattress, all thats left is the crossbars. Keep up the good work.
I love how the rock looks.
The annual fee is on all tanks. I have a 500 gallon at my home.
Yaya! A new video!
Ur place is going to look awesome see yah Eric an Tara an Opie hugs always
you need a skid steer or small tractor. for endless usefulness in developing your land.
Drone shot of the new rock drive would be cool !!
Might be hotter, but I dig the grizzly rock driveway. Looks nice!
I bought a small vevor driveway drag for my gravel project, can get for under 100 on sale.
Welcome to home ownership. Wait till you call the cable guy!! Have fun.
Love your property, Eric!! It is really beautiful!! You are a lucky man!! Nothing like owning your own property!!! Always camp for FREE on your property!!
Property is a better investment than fuel to drive around. Looks great!
I love it when a plan comes together buddy
Your setup is pretty cool Eric
Good show. I missed the reno days :)
Also do not have anything hanging out of the can, like even the ties of a bag and make sure your lid closes, they will charge you for an extra can! I started taking pictures of my can. That's good you have cameras. Same here and no problems since. I love the black rock. Buy a tractor!
Great vid Eric. Customer service like that, seems to be the norm everywhere now.🤔😊👍.
You must see that smile as you edit. Totally happy. Good on ya.
Should get 2-3 years from that propane tank.
Now the work starts. And doesn't end. Question. All the power stations you have had what's your favorite?
Jax is looking down with a huge smile.
Eric, You need a Kubota bx2300 D.
I just did the same gravel work at my house last fall, so I know how much work it is😅
I’m way behind in videos and trying to get caught up! I love that your channel is aways changing and different. Never be afraid to live differently year by year. I’ve watched you from the very beginning and it’s really cool to see the man you have grown to be. I know you get down sometimes but that’s completely normal. It happens to us all. Some of us like the honesty of you sharing that part of your life. Every day can’t be roses and butterflies. So for those that say you complain to much I say piss on them. It’s real life here on this channel. ❤ well enough talking I got videos to watch 😂 c-ya!
Taking care of Business! I Love IT!
Driveway looking good
You need a float tractor !
It's so cool and coming together.
The driveway looks awesome.
Only turn your grill bottle valve about a half turn open. More is not needed and if something goes wrong you don't want your hand under there shutting it off for any more time than necessary.
I oil the grill before cooking on it. The rock looks great.
We have rock in our driveway on our rural property. I hate it. My tires are constantly throwing rocks as I drive down the highway.
The rock looks great
I like the black rock. Looks great.
Hey Eric, While you are working on the property, you might want to catch the vids up to current. Everyone else who visits and blogs has already shown this stuff. I understand that while traveling , it made since to buffer vids for safety. However, when everyone else is current and you are behind, it is kind of silly!!! You are one of the few KZreadrs I could watch daily and did during your 25 days of vlogmas!!! Just my 2 cents!!! Keep up the great vids!!!
that's road gradings what they tear out when they repave a parking lot or road.
What a smile! It's good to see you so happy. Thanks for another great video.
What about renting a small compactor for a day to finish the gravel
Would be cool to see some drone shots of your lot, get an idea of the whole picture! Happy for you man, very satisfying to have your own place like this!
yo eric you the bomb! Glad to see the property comin along!!
I like the gravel, it's a great idea in this country to have it. Those little cactus are cute, but I recommend not to put them outside unless you put them in bigger pots that you can bring inside. They don't actually like too much sun, and will die pretty easy in those small pots. You can plant them all in one big container, that you bring in for the winter, cuz they will freeze up there.
I personally like the black rock better, it reminds me of asphalt and looks like a driveway. Glad this really worked out for you. Stay Unique and Stay Feisty!
Love the set up wow From Huntington Beach California
