The Acreage Build Starts Now! | Yard Geek Episode 1

The acreage build starts NOW!
It's time for me to get to work as the house is under construction! Over 1,700 yards of fill dirt were brought in, over 4 kilometres of wire run and I finally got my Bobcat and Tractor. The work officially begins!
Subscribe and come along for the ride as I show you every satisfying detail of the construction of my acreage! From building a custom detailing studio and shop, to building a new house...that's just the beginning! The projects only get bigger as I build one of the most beautiful, unique and epic acreages around!

    It’s obvious you’ve put many hours of observation and planning into your property. I wish we’d had that opportunity when we built our house. We’d have brought in a lot more fill to cut down on water erosion. Great job Mitch, can’t wait to see more!

    Only 58 feet. I wish😂 my granary bought land in Arizona up north. He had a well drilled. It was 740ft deep. Then he hit an aquifer. Best water I've ever drank. Still runs to this day. Can fill a 4000gal water tank in 2hrs. Good luck to you Mitch.

    Mitch, this is awesome! This is the start of an amazing homestead channel if you so desire. The potential of the leftover land is huge! Get yourself some goats, pigs, cows, chickens or a combination of all four, and start your own self sufficient home! I'll get a passport and come help if you want! lol. This is the start of a great channel if you continue it! Show us the whole journey and progress of the new land! I'll be here every step of the way!

    Mr. Mitch, truly a testament to hard work and planning and the blessings that come from it. It was interesting to see the neighbors have flooding issues on their properties well. I am guessing they have probably become used to flooding on their own land. ;-) That was pretty wild. I am looking forward to seeing your progress. Prayers for your safety, discernment, and joy with all you do! God bless! ~John

    I love clean looking plots. on a funny note, Europe is kinda going the other way. they're more and more listing to environmentalists and push for not cutting back overgrow. they say, this is like a hotel for insects and such and can help with-I dunno; nothing I'm an expect at, but has to do with the environment, as I got it. so, about four or five years ago, they pretty much stopped mowing the grass on the side of the road. and actually ask land owners to leave the grass higher (or at least to create "islands" of uncultivated patches. I dislike it, but that's where things developed towards. so, I wouldn't be too surprised for such bylaws to change again at one point.

    I strongly recommend rain water collecting, maybe in just a few small rain barrels or even a underground cistern. For the size of the land i recommend you 10-50 m³ (353-1756 cubic feet) of volume and also a dripping system of slow but not so much evaporating water distribution.

    from what I can tell, this is about the best kept secret on this channel. no sight of anyone aside Mitch; well, his lazy twin Mike; but he doesn't really count, lol. there's not even a subtle hint. which means, this is by design! which further means, it's nothing he wants to share and we probably need to accept and respect this. also watching him for dunno, a year or so, the enormous size of his newly built house is the first somewhat harder evidence that it's highly unlikely, he built this all for himself alone, lol. I mean, he built an entire house right next to his studio without anyone noticing anything: *that's* how good he's with hiding stuff.
