Electricity
- Underground $14,899.81
- Above ground will be a lot less (estimated 4k) but trees come down.
- Fiber internet will be ran at the same time

Water plan
- A) 4k-ish we go with city water
- B) Well would be about 20k
- Rainwater harvesting for sure eventually. Maybe up front..

2 acre status
- Delays: broken dozer and excavator
- back to work now. Done at the time of publishing this video :)

I've been working on trails
- Perimeter trail is about 50% done
- New trails everywhere
- Rotary cutter and grapple are my favorite combo
- Lane Shark incoming
- No map sharing?? Maybe a raffle fund raiser to name the trails, thoughts?

Fruit orchard
- Slow process, long term goal
- HUGE experiment, wood chips and ground cover
- Back to Eden Documentary    • Back To Eden Gardening Documentary Fi...  

Shop notes
- 40x60 red iron building with basic insulation
- 12x60 leanto (16 or 20???)
- One water in, one sewer out
- Concrete inside, gravel under the lean

Attack on my skin
- Poison ivy at the start, my fault
- Chiggers
- Inadvertently burning with hot water for relief
- Second round of poison ivy from rotary cutter + heat rash
- Burns on my thigh from tractor time, need to buy canopy
- Fire ants while cooking
Something to look back on and laugh in a few years.

Shop timeline
- Our goal was always to be in the camper inside the new shop by winter.
- As soon as we have septic and power we move. We are OK with bringing in water if the water is in portable tanks if the situation isn't figured out by then.

Equipment
- You need to buy a D4 dozer...
- You need to buy a mini excavator...
- You need to buy a skid steer...

Why I went with a tractor
- BUDGET!!
- All other equipment is more costly and more costly to repair
- Less expensive implements
- Local tractor ecosystem via family for implement sharing, help, and repair knowledge.

Big Business vs Big Life
- Are you going to get 3 phase power? Why all the trails? Why do you want so much land?
- I grew up outside as a kid. Boy Scouts, camping, outdoor sports (last generation before internet and screen addiction)
- Spent the last two years camping a lot and re-kindled my love of the outdoors. I want this life.
If not now, when? Zach's slide: “One year from now, your life could look completely different. Put in the work.”
