Corporate Gone Country
United States
Registrace 11. 01. 2023
I am a retired corporate VP, having worked in the International Engineering & Construction business for about 4 decades. I'm now able to focus on retirement. During my working life, my wife and I inherited and purchased some country property in Texas. We love being outdoors and doing projects and I'd like to share that passion with others. I 'd also like to share our experiences around making improvements, hunting, fishing, shooting, and cooking. So, Corporate Gone Country is a channel about outdoor projects, maintenance, and activities, as performed by a retired former business person who is NOT a country expert. I try to apply my engineering and corporate experience to whatever I'm doing. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't. Join me as we learn together. I welcome comments on how we could do things better!
Residential bathroom vent fan replacement start to finish
Our master bathroom vent fan for the shower area was simply making a buzzing sound, not turning and simply not evacuating air and humidity. Time for a repair or replacement. The unit was corroded enough that, even though it worked with a little push, I decided to replace it. I found the same unit on Amazon. That was kind of amazing because this fan was installed over 10 years ago. Please watch as I take the old one out and put a replacement in. Very simple, but not without a challenge or two. Thanks for watching.

Hurricane Beryl damage - fallen trees with one miracle tree that landed on top of a fence post
zhlédnutí 16Před 21 dnem
Hurricane Beryl Hit the Houston, Texas Area on Monday July 8, 2024. The eye of the storm passed right over our area. While our damage was minor compared to others, it caused some trees and limbs to fall down at our residence. After the storm I went outside to survey the yard and found a tree had fallen over and miraculously landed softly on top of a fence post and didn’t even damage the fence. ...
Starlink Roam - Unbox, Test, Transport, Set Up and Install at Remote Location -- Mobile Starlink

Starlink was finally available in the location of our Texas Farm situated between Houston and Dallas. We had been using internet service, locally available, that was only performing at 2-5 mbps at best. We ordered a Starlink Roam system so we could move it to multiple locations. We found the set up to be relatively simple and straightforward. This video covers the unboxing, testing in suburbia,...
Annual Restocking of Tilapia in our small Pond for algae control and forage with canine assistance!
zhlédnutí 42Před měsícem
It’s time to restock our small Texas Pond with Tilapia to help control algae and floating vegetation. We stock our pond yearly with Tilapia in the Spring but they typically don’t survive the winter so it is time to stock them again for 2024. Join us as we make a visit to a local fishery to purchase the fish and transport them and reintroduce them into the Pond. Last year’s batch did a good job ...
Tilapia re-stocking in Pond is delayed by alligator infestation & encroachment of maidencane grass
zhlédnutí 22Před 2 měsíci
We stocked our pond with Tilapia in Spring 2023 as they are helpful in controlling algae and other floating vegetation. Well, the tilapia did a good job and all of 2023 the pond was relatively free of those unsightly plants. The tilapia typically don’t survive the winter so it is time to stock them again for 2024. However, we want to control maidencane, an aquatic grass, along the pond shorelin...
Ammonia Vapors drive critters from under our storage shed & modular home - can we keep them out?
zhlédnutí 352Před 2 měsíci
Chasing off rodents and snakes under our storage shed and modular home at our hunting camp is a constant battle. We are not there full time, so the critters have a chance to make a nice home under each of those structures while we're not around. We try to evacuate the space under them by spraying an ammonia solution and placing jars of ammonia in the space under the house. We then use a combina...
Unique Texas Bowhunting Blind redesign and integrated rebuild using both up cycled and new materials
zhlédnutí 337Před 2 měsíci
The bow hunting blind in one of our favorite southwest Texas whitetails spots had been partially destroyed by desert winds three previous times. We decided to make it much sturdier and even more effective by reusing the existing platform, and extending the blind giving the hunter more concealment. We used a combination of new and up cycled materials to integrate the old platform into the new ex...
Golf Cart Head Light Switch Replacement (Club Car Precedent)
zhlédnutí 986Před 3 měsíci
The head lamp switch on our Club Car Precedent golf cart simply broke. So, I put together a simple video to show how to get access to the wiring behind the dash and do a simple replacement of the switch. The part was only about $7 on Amazon and you just remove the old one and plug the new one in and you’re done. The hardest part of this replacement was getting the dash back on. Good luck and hi...
Stump removal by burning results in epic fail -- there's gotta be a better way

It’s not my intention to be known as the stump guy, but after I did a stump removal video, I received comments that I should try stump burning. So this video explores that method of stump removal. Unfortunately, I achieved disappointing results - basically an epic fail. Please help me out in the comments by letting me know how I could have improved this burn. 0:00 Introduction 0:43 Excavation &...
