I'd make it so it blends in with the land as much as possible. I'd also keep the old stones, etc to repurpose them in other projects. Good luck! Can't wait to follow your journey.

Your problem with the water hose has a simple answer. (The guy who brought the canister showed it to you.) To stop the water, you just have to raise the hose end above the water level in the cannister. In order to "start" the water again, lower the hose end level below the water level in the canister. No need to pinch and tie the hose like you do, just hang it somwehere higher. Gravity will do that for you. Also, i saw you tried to use the smaller and longer hose. It won't work with a hose that is not straight, and has loops on it. I really appreciate the courage you have to start this project all alone, off grid, in the middle of nowhere. Please keep posting vids!

What you are trying to do is very difficult. Get some power tools and vehicles t work the land if yo can afford the latter. Never wear black. Get some help and know - how from the locals. Maybe hire some hands, dont don't do it alone. Climate in Greece is difficult now, especially in the summer. Your first priority is water supply. You need to change a few things in your approach, or you can easily become disheartened. Eat well not just vegetables but meat as well, you need all the strength you can get. Sleep well. Watch out fo snakes, some are poisonous and deadly. Get a first aid kit. You call 199 for an ambulance. Ground clearance is a must, not only for snakes but for fire prevention too. Good luck, wish you all te best.

Good Job Casey. A few tips. 1. Buy a straw hat. You 're exposing yourself a lot to the summer sun. 2. Use the derelict stone house as a tool shed. With all these olive trees you 're gonna need a place for the harvesting equipment and you don't want all this stuff inside your house. 3. Wear garden boots. Vipers are rare but they are a thing, especially close to water and/or stone walls. 4. Make sure you put some effort in draining ditches. It can rain a lot in Pilion and you don't want streams appearing suddenly near your house. 5. The place is excellent for bee keeping. Maybe you wanna give it a try, especially if you plant fruit trees. 6. Plant a few plane trees. Pilion is full of them, they become huge and their shade (and sound) is amazing. 7. Collect rain water for watering but also as a readily reservoir against forest fires - they can be really nasty. Overall, congrats on your vision, effort and respect for the place. Pilion is one of the most beautiful places in Greece.

Solids tips @archimedesnation! Vipers and scorpions may nest under stockpiles of wood or rocks, so please beware if you are about to move something and always use gloves. You can recognize vipers by the horn on their forehead and their fat short body that leads to a thin tail, or the zig zag patter on the body (not all vipers have the zig zag pattern though). As for the water tank, you have to move the trapped air out of the hose by using water gravity and at the same time suck the trapped air out. As soon as the air is out, it is easy to use. You don't have to tie the hose tightly for leaks as soon as you keep the hose tip above the water level in the tank. Also please use a suncream along with the straw hat archimdesnation mentioned. You may also use a camouflage shading net for extra shadow (for you and your car). One last thing is that concrete and heat don't work together. Make sure you moist the concrete surface regularly for the first days and not let it dry to the environment temperature. This way it will get stronger than it would if it dried out.

A new lamborghini tractor, that neighbor is doing pretty well financially :-) Agree with him to consider buying as large a tank as you can house, it'll be useful in any case, perhaps even put a small roof over it to protect it a bit from the sun and channel the rain water you capture on that roof to help keep the tank topped off in the long run.I would also look into buying a Silky Forester saw, you would be able to easily prune branches from the ground rather than having to climb into the tree which is a health and safety concern but also harmful to the tree. Lastly, I probably would have left the branches on there until later in the year because a lot more energy is currently stored in the branches and leaves than in the dormant winter period. We're also contemplating moving 3 or 4 olive trees so i'm particularly intrigued how that will turn out. We live in Italy and olive trees are protected so you need permit to move trees, even if within the same parcel or grove.

That is, in the case where there are sick citrus fruits trees and they must be removed from the rest of the healthy ones. However, olive trees do not produce fruit every year. If they are pruned in the summer and because the summer in Greece in the last decade reaches October, the new young shoots will be burned by the strong sun, as they are tender and sensitive to weather conditions. This has a high chance of happening. So we gain nothing, as we will have to wait next spring for new shoots.

Mann, dir zuzusehen bereitet mir Kopfschmerzen. Das zaghafte Gefummel, die Keucherei. Hättest mal lieber im gut klimatisierten Fotostudio in deiner stylishen Comfort-Bubble bleiben sollen 😜
Beautiful view! For the love of God get a post hole digger. It’s painful watching you use handfuls to get the dirt out. Hang in there!
Buy a good pickup truck and a shit load of good tools. You'll need it. You can't make those wholes by hand. There is no time for that.
The water is gorgeous!!!
