- After a few days it finally stopped raining and the sun came out. I moved around some fencing and then sat down to give some updates on the progress towards moving to my new homestead. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

Consider the mulcher for just one day to clear the area for your shed-to-house, so that part of your plan can get under way.
I would but they can't get there until the end of May at the earliest.
@@BobbleheadHomestead Won't it take that long if you do it with the dozer or tractors or how ever ways there are? Mulcher wont' take that long to do the job. This is a tough decision Jeff and we are all behind you 100%. God bless
That was what I was going to suggest. They can get a lot done in one day

Get some drone footage of your land. A Birdseye view will give you a different perspective of the layout of your land and viable usage
Purple for the property marker! Purple means no trespassing so it serves double purpose.
Yep, this is definitely your best property yet. And no rocks and trash. It's going to look so different once it's opened up more. :D
Yes I am glad for Jeff. It was good to see you putting your blueberry bushes in. Life is full of changes.
Forestry mulcher does cost more than equivalent time with the bulldozer, but as you mentioned, the bull dozer is not hauling away the stuff it knocks over, or removing stumps. The mulcher leaves the cleared space empty and ready to use, nothing to haul, cut or burn, and no stumps. If you can find a way to do even one days worth of forestry mulching, just to clear space for your shed to house, I promise it is worth it. It is a game changer because its does so much so fast, and there's no follow up activity needed before you can use the space. They can eat through those piles of trees, too. I know they're scheduled out a bit, but its only a few weeks, and you can still work on other prep until then, including using chain saw/etc to down larger trees before they come, and then they can chew them up on the ground. Even if you can only do a portion that way, it will get you ahead by a lot, and save you so much time and labor. Sending you all the good vibes for a quick and successful site prep!
Clear enough area for your cabin and immediate needs for chickens. Then rent goats or get a few to clear the land for you. They will eat everything they can reach. Cheap labor. Plant wildflower meadow under the power lines.
Yep clearing enough to get started ASAP is what I'm trying to achieve. I'm not a fan of goats, they aren't as cheap as people seem to think. A bulldozer for one day would be cheaper than getting everything needed to keep goats. $800 for temporary fencing right off the bat if there was anybody who rented goats. I really like the wildflower meadow idea. Thank you!
jeff cut some them smaller trees with your chainsaw and keep them for posts will help cut cost later down the road too. cant wait to see how you do it all. temp fence and a few goats will clear out some land fast as well.. just thoughts that may work for ya bro good luck and god speed bro.
All the wood chips stay on your land and you don't have giant piles of soil mixed with huge roots of trees. Watch Sow the Land to see it in action
Yep, I talked about Sow The Land in this video.
Sorry I wrote it before watching the video
Once you get moved over there, don't go too fast with getting new critters. Little by little so you don't over tax yourself.
Remind me of this every so often. I've been biting off more than I can chew way too much :)
@@BobbleheadHomestead channel your inner sloth. 🙂
Check with local friends, but to my knowledge purple is used to mark your property lines. Great video and love your enthusiasm!
Purple paint on trees and posts signifies No Hunting on this land. These are just temporary ribbons used while clearing land.
Purple is no hinting
Maybe just get the wood chipper mulcher thing for just one day to get yourself a good start then work on the rest yourself?? ❤
Yes, if they could do it before the end of May I'd consider that but I need to get started before then. Thanks!
In the end I’m sure you are totally going to work everything out. ❤
I know this is over a year old but, we have had no problem with taking down trees well over 6” the amount of hand labor or mess to deal with after a dozer is well worth the production amount a mulcher on a skid can do. The amount of land that is clearable in a day is very dependent on what your clearing, piles usually take an extra skid and a lot more time when it’s already on the ground vs. standing brush. It’s expensive no matter how you look at it maybe. Usually it ends up being more going the cheapest route
Have you considered contacting Rooster - The guy that cleared SLR and CRC building sites- He built roads too- They seemed very pleased with him👍👍
Good idea to go after rain to see where the water is going. I’m excited to join you on another adventure 😁
Sounds like the service would be well worth it. Thank you and have a great day. ❤
It probably is worth it, but I've got a budget.
@@BobbleheadHomestead add memberships to your Channel how collect a few more dollars nothing wrong with it most channels seem to be adding it for the extra Revenue you might as well get on board
@@BobbleheadHomestead Hi, Jeff. I realize budget is King. But, I was also factoring in your health and well being. And, in my mind, you can't put a price tag on that. Watching the anguish of you losing your flocks hit you in the heart AND the pocketbook, no doubt. But, what good is a new location if your health declines before you get things going again? I know that no matter what, the best outcome will work it's way out, Jeff. I believe that. You take care. 🍀🌻🌷🪻
@@BobbleheadHomestead Just one day with the mulcher would develop enough area to perfection for your homesite and the chickens to start, wouldn't it? Then, perhaps the mulcher could be reserved once a year for the next three years to fully develop the remainder of your land. Small steps make a distance. ❤ I know you can do this!
Looks like beautiful property 🌳 lots of work ahead - one day at a time😉 take care 🙏🇺🇲
Mulch, 1 days worth, put ribbons on trees you want saved. Do the perimeter and across the front as deep as you can go in 1 day, couple hours for a few paths to interesting areas in the woods. Then do a day each year or so. Mulcher is much easier to clean up than after a cat, but, you have to watch for suckers. Pieces to pick up are much smaller with mulcher to pile on small burn piles. No big dirt/slash piles. Chainsaw will grow a lot of suckers. Stumps really need sprayed to stop that....James
I hope you can invest in making the shed-to-house comfortable as part of the move, Bob is going to miss the cabin comforts.
It will be so nice when you can have your flocks out on land that is not full of rocks. Good luck with figuring out how to get the new property cleared so you can move in. I can't wait to see what you will do there! 🥰
Thank you!
I think the money you spend on the mulcher would be worth it, you can not do the job lets face it and the bull dozer won't do what the mulcher can. The investment is great, good money spent the first time and not on so many different ways one shot, done. God bless
But what if I spend all the budget on clearing land and don't have enough left over to move the shed to house and get it hooked up? You're right, it would be a great investment to get started. Maybe I'll get a video go viral with a million views :)
@@BobbleheadHomestead I was just thinking about the money that could be spent on many other ways to clear than you end up spending more. That was how I was thinking. Only YOU know what your budget is so I know it will be a hard one to decide but in the long run your new place will be wonderful. God bless
Nice big piece of land for you to develop your way. It will take years. I'd plant myself right in the middle. The east side looks the most elevated so no flood worry. Just clear what you can, when you can and pile it up front. You or someone else will want some firewood by Christmas. I know it is exciting but force yourself to pace it out. I remember when you had over done it once before and crashed and burned. I'd hate for that to happen to you again. Everyday is a new day and full of friends that will help you. Your Blessed with many. I am so happy you are nearer to many young people who have become like family to you. Carry on.
👍🏻👍🏻❤️🇺🇸glad you are getting on your feet again! Bless those who helped!👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Holy Chickens! $2000 a day!!! That's so expensive. I missed my calling, I should have bought a forestry mulcher and moved to Arkansas. Once you fine tune the property, it's going to be perfect for you and the chickens. Hugs to Y'all Ü
No kidding. Go tell Drew to buy a bulldozer and skid steer, he won't listen to me :)
Have the forestry mulcher come out for a day and clear out a driveway and 1 acre or more. You’ll still have to have a dozer come in and cut in a driveway and a level area to put the shed to house.
Start taking out the small stuff first so you can have a driveway and house pad. Hopefully you can get some sort of equipment, even for one day sooner than the end of May. Hiring some local help for a short time to cut brush and trees will keep you from overdoing it. Don't forget to rest. Would love to see lots of flowers and maybe some berry bushes between the power lines.
That’s awesome Jeff, I look forward to seeing the journey.
Hey Bobblehead, I’ve got a forestry mulcher booked for June and they’re $1500 a day for a 10 hour day. Email me if you would like their contact info. I don’t think you’re too far from us. Take care.
Perhaps investigate the power company cleaning up the mess from when they cleared the right-of-way. Then just left the debris for someone else to cleanup.
The piles look like they have been there a few years.
I love your property Jeff I’m glad your chickens will be safe and you can have more areas to do things with
Very happy for you and happiness is very obvious
We hired a mulcher for a day, and he did right at an acre. Ours looked a lot like what you are dealing with. That could be an option for your driveway path and shed to house. So proud you are getting to live out your dreams. Blessing to you and your fur babies and feathered friends.
You can permanently fence the power right of way if you allow access, which usually means a 10-12 foot gate. Over the summer you can order tree seedlings, dogwood, redbud, persimmon, etc to fill in under the taller trees from the forestry services. Here in Georgia, for 50 they are $1.10 apiece. 🙂 🌳
I would go for something with thorns like a hedging of Rosa Rugosa (grow to about 4ft) or similar. Not many unwanted animals want to come through something like that. Worked for me when I had a huge garden and didn’t want to be trimming a hedge a couple of times a year.
Consider growiing a cover crop that you can cut by hand and feed to your chickens a little each day
So so happy for you Jeff. Can't wait to see progress😊
That sure is expensive but sooooooo worth it, IF one could afford it. Love your new property! What an amazing adventure you are having, Jeff!
leave the trees and clean out the underbrush and make it look park-like, maybe dig a small pond while the dozer is there
I hope you can take some of the plants that you moved from your first homestead. A plant legacy!
The trees that I see sticking out if the pile of brush you could take them out use them for fencing or building tables or benches etc etc
I imagine there's someone out there who would cut them down for free for the firewood. The season is ending but it's best dried out so would be great for next year. Just make sure they don't touch what you want to keep!
I'm happy for you and excited to see how all the work and property evolves
Purple is for marking property line.
Be careful out there.
Take care
We use purple paint to signify No Hunting on that land. I'm just using temporary ribbon while clearing land.
@@BobbleheadHomestead we used the paint now. I was talking about when we first bought our property. But we did our clearing, so we knew what purposes different colors were for 😀 and by no means am I saying we were right 🤣the only thing I know we right about back then was to put a barrier between land and creek 😀that kept us out of trouble with the county.
Whatever you decide to do on your own, just take the time to watch every step and be careful to avoid injury to yourself 👍
Not getting out over your skis will be your most important part of your journey. That balancing act is always what’s most difficult for we dreamers. I wish you the best of luck.
Nice property Mike and Lisa were looking at it will make a great place for you and your flock..
Bring a chair to sit in the woods and take breaks, so you dont have to walk back to car to rest. Love the colored tapes!!!! It will help to visualize it.
Keep Dreaming Jeff!! You'll get started Soon.. I look forward to ALL THAT'S AHEAD!!
Love your new land yes keep the trees
You can not do it all in a day! I think it will be a great farm for you!
Excited for your journey
We are excited for you.
Howdy Jeff- it’s good to see you excited about your new property. Wishing you the very best with it. God bless
I hope you can get a helper out with you to fell the trees. Always good to have a partner around when doing that kind of work. Very exciting! Stay safe.
You really do think things through, Jeff.
Hey Jeff, I would use the purple tape for the property boundery. Purple is the color for no tresspassind.
YOUR PROPERTY IS BEAUTIFUL JEFF GOD BLESS HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
CONGRATS ON THE PROPERTY BROTHER LOOKS GREAT
The bulldozer you will end up with piles of brush you have to burn and bare dirt that can errode, so it's less money, but there are trade-offs.
🐣🐔 each day each step gets you a little closer. Good thinking makes a plan.
Loving the excitement Jeff. Excitement can also be exhausting so those naps are important for you too.
Assessing everything against immediate needs, availability and cost is definitely hard on the brain and sometimes irritating as well. So much potential with that lovely property. 😊
We wish you all the luck with your property.
Talk to drew. He has a friend named russell who has a bulldozer and other equipment. Maybe he will cut you a deal.
I know him, he's a neighbor, but I don't think he has an operational bulldozer.
I hope you find your property high and dry!
Have you considered renting a bulldozer and getting David from C'Mon or someone else operate the dozer? Up until last summer, I had never operated any heavy equipment but I rented a bulldozer and cleared the overburden on my property.
Super exciting! All the dreams! So cool. Yep looks like our land around the edges.
Good morning, I like the way you think. I think you have a great plan, I can feel your excitement. So happy for your new journey. Cannot wait to see the progress.😊 Good to hear you are napping and slowing down . You have to listen to your body. Love to see the feathered babies and the kitties. ❤
Man right before the ravine was a tree that looked like a horse head. That’s horse-head ravine lol
maybe you could have a few bon fires before summer dryness to get rid of those piles.
That’s what I did. Burned it until I got it under control. Then distributed the dirt on my land.
Greetings from Northeast Ohio. Seriously, it is a no-brainer. All you need is a day. Watch Sow the Land or Outdoors with the Morgans to see it in action
If it was only one day and they could do it sooner I'd be more tempted but they said 3 days, 2 days if we're lucky. I've gotta have funds leftover to move the shed to house and get it hooked up.
Don't plant things that will create more work, you will get older... Can you burn those piles?
Maybe consider using the forestry mulcher for clearing one days worth of land/work so you can put up chicken pens in that area faster. And use the bulldozer to clear your home site since you need bigger trees removed for that.
That way you can get moved sooner at less cost and not so much mess from the bulldozer to clean up afterwards which you'll have to pay to get it all done & hauled away. And where the chickens go the ground will not be bare dirt/mud and the chickens can eat the greenery to help lower food budget which pays back towards the more expensive mulcher.
Then when your house sells you can use some of that money to clear more land. I understand from the companies I have checked into while making payments you can only clear up to 1/10th of the land for your home site but until land is paid in full you cannot clear anymore trees than that. Maybe check your contract to see if your land company has the same restrictions. Good luck Jeff!
Purple is no hunting
Lots of free wood for bonfires keep toasty warm =)
You'll choose the best thing. I was wondering...How much does it cost to BUY a forestry mulcher? Surely, with the community y'all have just in that area, you could all pay into buying one & then pass it around as needed with a, "You break it, you pay to fix it," clause in the group contract, with everyone paying monthly toward the purchase, if thats necessary. And, that way, you could ALL learn to use it & be available for earning income with it for outside community. Just a thought.
Take the tree out n a front line of flowers.
That was my first thought on what to do by the driveway too. Thank you!
That’s not a bad price, we just paid $3500.00 to trim 2 big pine trees in our backyard! Took them from 6:30am to about 4:00pm to get both trees trimmed and clean up all the branches and needles! They were excellent! The yard looked better than when they started!
So excited for you!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Congratulations & so excited to watch you & your new adventure!!🐓🐓🐓
Hope you decide on the mulcher. It is more but a better clearing than a dozer. Good luck✌️🇺🇸❤️
They can't schedule me until the end of May and if I spend all my funds on land clearing I won't have any left to move the shed to house and get it hooked up and ready to live in. Gotta stick to the budget.
@@BobbleheadHomestead you do what is right for you. Good luck. Keep us posted ✌️🇺🇸❤️
glad you got your property and to bad david, gary, anthony and mike could help you
Low growing or dwarf fruit trees under the lines.
Glad you’re making a comeback!
Did you contact Rooster who did CRC and SLR?
Great suggestion, I asked them first, but he's no longer in this area.
Possibly to save money clear for driveway and power together. But then I guess you would need to call electric to find out where they would want to come through. And don’t forget to place the home where you can get as much winter sun as possible .
The front trees could come out and make a rose garden and orchard?
Maybe you can get some of your homestead buddies to come out there with their chainsaws n bulldozer man can come do some too. No matter how I'm positive it'll all get done in His timing. Look what He's done for you so far n making your dream come true.(turned tragedy into triumph)(that's a great t-shirt for you.,....He turned my tragedy into triumph.(on front)..then put homestead name on the back of tshirt Remember to take care of your health tho in all this. Blessings♥️🙏
How far away is your new place from your old place?
I sure hope my letting your 1000 videos run in the background for 3 days (not much RAM & slow computer) helps your U-Tube income next month. In between projects on the other tab I went over and liked the ones I could. For the perimeter fence will you bulldoze any of the property line to make it easier for the permanent fencing you will eventually get?
It's customary to mark trees with red for cutting. No other marking is needed.
Man you are going to miss your rocks.
Have a great day 🇺🇸
You can rent a wood chipper. Typically it would be a pull behind style. Home depot has one and so does United rental.
Good video Jeff u will get it done.👍👋👍
You will have to get some wild animals in there to chew those trees down for ya lol,and maybe even borrow somebody's pigs 🐖🐖to clean everything else out😉lol👍😊...
🥰🥰
They aren't cheap for sure!
Good luck with your property
Talk to common mountain about useing Urber
He should reach out to slr,crc,Ridgeline, c'mon,drew,an everyonelse an do land clearing party
Couldn’t you get a bunch of the framily together and knock it out? I’d be willing to help and I don’t even know you, but I watch all of y’all just a suggestion as I’m watching this.
Very nice video and narration.
