Homestead Project

[Raven]

Yah id love to have one. Maybe I'll trade one of my trucks for a used one someday lol

Think "multi purpose"

We use our tracked loader for pretty much everything, if it’s too big we use a Toro Dingo. I would say a skid steer would be a necessity for the homestead, with the mini ex just behind.

Almost done with pier holes. This week get to pay the government to build on my property.

 

[LarryCastle]

So I figured I'd start a thread with progress and questions here.

Property:
14.5 Acres
Pond, about half an acre
Cliff for gun range backstop
Creek runs through after storms. Dries when no rain.

I looking into either a 40x60 pole barn single story or a 30x40 2 story Arch Cabin from Texas.

You might think about using shipping containers. I bought a new one and total price on the ground on my property was 3100.00 that is 8' x 20'

Just remember, we already "own nothing and are happy". You may hold the deed to that land but try not paying your taxes (rent to the government) and see what happens government men with guns show up and take what's actually theirs away from you
