I told my husband other day that if we were younger, we'd sure be in this homesteading thing!

I am so happy for you! God bless and give you the strength needed for what's ahead. I'll be 89 soon and watching all you homesteaders working your land makes for such an exciting adventure for me!

For me as well, I've been where they are right now, but I was a lot younger. There is nothing that comes close to the homestead life, except doing it with God's help. Without Jesus it's just another place to live out your life.

Can't believe it has been nearly 3 years since you found tour ideal home...God is so good and when you see He cares about the small things too is absolutely heartwarming!!!

It’s really fun going back and watching this video to see how far you’ve come. Great job! Especially adding Buggy!❤️

Twenty-eight years ago we moved our family to the farm that had been in my husband's family since the 1840's. The house (built in the 1890's) had never been plumbed and the electric was knob and tube. The structure was sound so we gutted it and completely rebuilt it. If your farmhouse is structurally sound, I promise you will never regret rebuilding it. We don't. You remind me of us 28 years ago. Thank you for sharing your story.

yoou are absolutely brillant people. How do I know that? You had sense enough to leave california.

We sold our 4000 sqft expensive home and bought a beautiful double wide on a basement, with an amazing 3.5 acres. Debt was a huge motivator for us too. It's been almost a year and I could not be happier. We just got chicks and are starting to fix up our out buildings. So excited to watch you aventure!

i started watching your videos today and cried through most of it. Not because it was sad but because your family reminded me of mine. Forty years ago we did pretty much what you two have done or have begun to do. We bought a farm house on 8 acres and cleaned it up. Best thing we ever did. Cow and pigs will take care of the huge Japanese vine. They love it and will grow fat and healthy from it. It took us awhile to figure this out and we lost many of our fruit trees and other things because of it. The vines grew as large as our arms and the leaves smothered everything we tried to plant. The previous owners had planted it to cover a red clay embankment, I think. Huge mistake. I love your videos and am hooked on them now. I just adore your sweet story and the way you two communicate.

Many I am sure view that property as a land fill. Like you I view it as a piece of coal. With time, heat, and pressure it will become a diamond in the rough. Then with steady work and commitment the shine and cut will appear. When that happens it will be the envy of many. Congratulations, now, get to work!

It's awesome and I can't say how much I love that it's debt free!! On to part 2 of the journey.

When rebuilding start with the roof make sure there are no leaks. Check foundation or relevel pylons. Remove any damaged exterior siding and replace sheathing if necessary. Use house wrap then exterior siding. Thermal windows and exterior doors next. Any new additions should be done before adding new electrical plumbing and hvac systems. Now the fun begins of refinishing the interior. Take your time and do it right the first time to save time and money.

I found your channel a few months ago and I truly enjoy watching all you do. I hadn't seen when you got the property. WOW! You have done so much with it!! If I had seen inside the buildings and what was to be my "home", I would have probably run, but it is obvious the main thing you were looking for was the land and you definitely found it. Now I've got to start watching them from this one until current to see what you ran into. You should be so proud of yourself because I know what you have created is fabulous!!

So cool for you. We bought 6 acres with the original dog trot, 19th century farmhouse on it as well as a stick built 15 x 30 foot shed, a pump house for the cistern that was once plumbed to a ram pump that supplied the house and, two single wide trailers, one a 1960s single wide (tore it down, too far gone) and the other a 1989 16 x 80 foot Fleetwood mobile home in grossly nasty but, solid shape . Spent $2000 on bringing the 1989 one up to livable and lived in it for two years while we got the garden and chickens set up and restored the farm house. We have now been in the house for 7 years so, basically we are on the other side of where you are heading. Those two years in the mobile home were long and hard. At times I despaired of ever getting the house done so we could move into it but, we stuck with it and are so glad we did. Congratulations and good luck with your new adventure, it IS worth the hard work you have just gotten yourselves into I promise.

When we bought our homestead a neighbor came over with his excavator and brush hogged the entire thing. It cost something but it was worth so much more - we could see everything, access everything etc. In our case we also had the 3 generations of dumping to clean up (where do they think it goes?!?!) as well as literally hundreds of blackberry crowns to dig out. We wouldn't have even known where to start without it. We've estimated we made over $2000 on scrap alone. Can't wait to watch you on this journey! We are 10 years in and it brings back so many memories!!!

Tip: Look into shipping containers. They helped us out tremendously for storage while we built our homestead, and now we use them as haymows for our horses. Eventually we will convert them to storage again and one will be a guest quarters for the hunters we host every year (and other visitors). They are awesome as they are water tight, and can adapt as you plans do. Good luck folks!
