Homestead Project

That was my first option, but I'm over 1000 ft from the road. Also don't want to depend on the government for water in case something happens like this: https://darktrace.com/blog/the-flor...era-of-digital-warfare-its-time-to-fight-back

Been doing more clearing. Electric chainsaw! Trimming limbs so we can bush hog without getting our heads knocked off

and Clearcuting underbrush. Most of the property will be left wild. Been thinking about a pond.

Been clearing trees for the power. I hate cutting these down but we need AC lol
The dead tree pictured...part of the long tan limb came back on me and I barely got outta the way. It hit the tractor and dented the hood. My head was in that same spot before I started backing up and raising my bucket to stop it.
My angels were busy Saturday for sure.

Trees are terrible drivers. Get ya one of those fancy dash cams before one decides to lawyer up lol

Yeah that fell from 30f feet up and skeered me pretty good. I decided to call it a day after that big rotten pine

Did I see you have your property for sale?

Did I see you have your property for sale?

Yes you did. Escambia county has effectively shut down my DIY building project and I cant afford to build.

 

[Stevenattsu]

I still haven't had any issues with building

Oh, man that's terrible.

The last thing I tried to do was get a simple temp pole, they wouldn't let me put it up without having an approved building permit. I couldn't get a building permit because my engineers designed the drawings incorrectly. Because of that I can also not find anyone who knows how to re-engineer them.
It all comes down to the fact that Florida requires drawings And permits. That's why I'm selling hopefully moving Alabama. Florida 's welcome sign might say "free state", but in my opinion That's a bunch of bull crap on multiple levels.

If I see anything up by me, I'll let ya know.

Getting a temp pole was easy and I hadn't even decided to build yet. I stuck it in the ground and went down, payed a few bucks and they came out and stuck a sticker on the meter. Few days later the power company came out and hooked it up. Now the camper has power now I can run power the barn and do as I please

You need to pull permits under ag exemptions. You are going to store food for animals and equipment in the barn you are building

Thanks
