Practically Independent

Hello and welcome to our homestead in East Tennessee. Our family of five took a big step, sold everything, and moved from New Hampshire to Tennessee. We hope you will follow in our journey with us as we build out our homestead in the woods and create this new life for our family.

    I really love sharing the videos, but it really slows me down when I make them. Having to reposition the camera a lot while I'm working as well as the time it takes to edit. Maybe I'll do some KZread shorts to at least show what we're doing. At least that doesn't take up too much time. We are doing pretty well and have started work on building the cabin. The foundation is just about finished. How have you been doing?

    Just wondering will your land perk for well and septic? Its my understanding that if these test are not performed or the land wont perk then you cannot build a home on it

  • @practicallyIndependent
    @practicallyIndependent5 ай бұрын

    Depends on the county. Here if you have more than so many acres they do not require a perk test. We are exempt from it due to having 30 acres. The reason we bought this property is we are exempt from most inspections, tests, and permitting due to the location and zoning.

    I as a 79 year old retired carpenter have refurbished several planes in my time. But the hardest part was to sharpen the darn things. I found it was most important to keep your sandpaper VERY flat to the table ( I used the table saw because it was very flat )You used two pieces of sandpaper and they did not sit flat and it caused the corners round a little. I had the same problem with my chisels and plane irons as well but got good at it after a while. Then it got that we sent in our saw blades chisels plane irons and drill bits and the company paid. Needless to say that was the end of most of my sharpening. Just found your channel and checking you out and subscribing. I am in East Tennessee and moved here from Vermont 8 years ago to get away from the snow. Wishing you well.

    I saw this was taken awhile back, but if you are looking for a way to stop your tracks from slipping we use TrackGrips. They are bolt on and do not ruin your tracks. Easy on easy off and made a huge difference plowing our driveway in Colorado. They also help us thru mud season here.

    I may have missed it, but is the 24" or 30" model? Do you have a preference? Our logs are all 16-18" so it sounds like the 24" would be adequate just wondering if there is a reason that the 30" would be preferred. Great video.

    My Woodland Mills HM130 seems to constantly need re-leveling. It’s always noticeable when the head rolls to the center. I have tried the laser but in my opinion the beam is too fat and hard to see in daylight. I now use the string and blocks method.
