Great video Max, I really enjoyed it 👍 Kudos to you for finding the motivation when you're alone to keep working as hard as you do, it's not an easy thing! Can't wait for next week❣Take care- Deanna from Meriden, CT USA
Can't wait for the merch drop, just in time for Christmas! I'm not sure I could live with all the dangerous snakes and spiders. I hope you have a good 1st aid kit. Hugs from Canada
Max this is a hard start to your off grid journey but don't get discouraged. It will get better. The bones of the house are not glorious to fix but there is an incredible reward to making them come back to life again. Also remember you are saving tens of thousands of dollars by doing all this work yourself. It's time consuming, dirty, and labor intensive but you are making it happen. You are doing all of this on your own so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Don't forget to reach out to your friends for support. I'm sure the VanWives would love to offer advice especially about living without indoor plumbing. We all want you to succeed. You got this. Keep going buddy!
@@MaxandOccyIt be like that. Luckily, your house isn't big and old. My parent's old brick and plaster house in northeast Missouri was built in the 1850s and definitely in disrepair, plus the freezing cold winters mean heating the house to 55°F, about 12.8°C, and heating my room to 65°F cost about $550 USD in the winter. By comparison, it's about $200 to heat my mom's 1970s house last year.
Hi Max! Dog groomer here. Not trying to overstep, I love your channel, but if you have the chance to give Occy a proper shave down now that the weather is warming up, I can’t recommend it enough. Senior dogs have bad troubles with their mobility and their joints which only gets worse with time. Occy is glorious with all of his floof but he could have upwards of 10lbs of fur on him right now. Having that weight taken off is an incredible preventative measure for your pup’s mobility and strength moving forward. He will thank you for it. Just a suggestion ❤❤❤
Max - seeing behind the scenes was so interesting. Snakes, spiders, leeches are so important. The birds and little paddy melons are beautiful. :) Love your piece of paradise.
I loved seeing all the wildlife in the video today! So much of our lives are not glamorous so I appreciate the behind the scenes perspective. You are such a hard worker and Occy is always there to lend a paw. 🐶Have a wonderful week. And everyone, let’s continue to prioritize our mental health.
I discovered your channel recently and I'm absolutely in love. Between the beautiful area you live in, the positive attitude you have, and the great cinematography this has quickly become one of my favorite channels to watch. Ironically, I both wish you made more videos and am glad you're not letting content creation rule your life like some other channels do.
Have you seen his video on his tribute to his x-girlfriend Lee? It’s a tear jerker but shows his true self. I haven’t stopped watching him since! He’s an amazing human being!
Great video Max! Hi Occy!! 🥰 The subtle “shoutout/dig” at Eamon had my laughing out loud! 🤣 Love the banter and friendship YALL have! Can’t wait to see the shower next week! Lots of love! ❤️
A week ago we had to send our Chow Chow Max (Maximus Cinnamus) over the rainbow bridge. Watching your dear Occy is a healing balm to my wounded soul. Happy tears shed during your video while also enjoying the build and organization process. How do you eat an elephant? One. Bite. At. A. Time. :D
For me it's all about the balance you try to maintain in life. Meditation, workouts, walks, good food, rest, friends, family, renovating, social outings, therapy etc. Keep it up & life will flow BB 🐝
This was a great video Max. Seeing you and Occy doing other things on your land is just part of your life. I think the previous owner gave food to that bird, he’s always around you. Keep up the good work. Love and be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪
This was great content. Frankly it's what alot of us who are currently working on builds or striving/dreaming of off grid renovation need to see...this kind of presentation pulls back the glossy insta perfection depicted on social media...we appreciate the reality check and transparency thank you max
Several years ago, I decided that every day that I'm healthy, even if not perfectly happy, I take just a single minute to acknowledge that. Just a minute to breathe in, breathe out. Every day you live in paradise, even if every day is not perfect, and I hope you always take a minute to acknowledge that. Have a great week! ~ Maarten
I dont think any off grid journey is easy unless you have a tonne of money. Its tough doing it alone too. Awesome job so far, Occy is the best apprentice 😊
Hi Max, we're doing something similar here in southern Mexico, building off grid in a cloud forest. We run into tarantulas, scorpions and an abundance of insect and bird life. Additionally we've had our share of roofing troubles/challenges and at the end of the day we're so very grateful for this life. 😃
I know EXACTLY what you mean about finishing big projects. I recently built a cabinet that took 3 episodes and I still didn't show the final staining (the 5 percent you mentioned). And then my neighbor said: "It looked pretty easy from the video" She hadn't even thought about all the editing I had to do to get it down to a reasonable viewing length. But, I guess it comes with the territory. You're doing a great job on your projects!!
I am deathly afraid of snakes and spiders let alone I didn’t realize you also have spotted a boa. Oohh, no thank you. I love seeing Occy and the progress you are making on your home.
So grand to see you and Occy today. Missed y’all and the beautiful rainforests around you, oh so blessed. Looking great Max! Sending much love and excitement for what’s to come for you🎉🎉🥰🐾
So glad to see you back on TH-cam. You always give such good content and seeing how you deal with spiders and leeches, not sure I could be so calm. look forward to next Sunday x
weekends are hard for me. big chunks of time alone. having your videos on sunday has been a relief for me for a long time. so thank you. went for an 11 mile run/hike this morning. thats what it takes to be level headed 😅 somehow, someway, someday, my soul needs to come to australia. maybe even move there for awhile. growing up i wanted to be steve irwin lol pennsylvania winter are long and cold ☁️ anyway i wanted to say your older videos and the ones now have made a big impact so thank you. maybe see hi someday. thank you for being a light. peace and love, rock n roll 🌻🌻🌻
Getting and staying organized is such a total challenge when construction is ongoing, but it really is satisfying. I struggle with organization, honestly. If I weren’t so frugal, I’d consider hiring someone to hold me accountable. It’s really a challenge for me. 🙄
Love that you got some family time! I wish I had that myself! I know you've been thru alot but I'm so happy for you nd always praying for you and Occy! What a beautiful life you have created and continue to add to
Awe young man, so proud of your accomplishments on your beautiful land. I love Occy, he has his own personality doesn’t he. Glad your mom and sister got to come. Hope you are taking time to make great friends in your new community. I hate spiders and snakes😮
Good morning Max and Ozzy. You have a bit of paradise. Glad your mom and sis came for a visit. It is great to have an animal to keep you company. You r leaving off grid. Something I did alittle bit of years ago. Spiders I can deal with. Not snakes.
Loved this video. Suggestion: you know you can shave Occy. We did that to our Aussie late in life. It took off extra pounds, helped with her arthritis and she felt like a puppy again. She was a little more mobile and comfortable. Love you both❤❤
That Snake warning was definitely needed the phobia is real 😱😱😱. Looking forward to seeing and buying the merch Max …. you know I love my Occy fix. Sending you and Occy love from the UK 🧡🧡🧡
@@MaxandOccycan’t wait Max “ I’m just here for Occy” appeals to my sense of humour I love it…. I need my Occy fix on a Sunday morning he just brings me joy 🧡🧡
Max, you've become my favourite videos. Dear little Occy is slowing down, God bless you for giving him paradise with Paddymelons to enjoy, please give him a hug from me, Lynda, and tell him he has been the most amazingly adventurous pup on TH-cam 😘
Hi Max and Occy, always love to see you two and your beautiful slice of paradise, but very happy you prioritized your mum! You are such a gentle soul. So impressed at what you are accomplishing! Your fitness challenge with Eamon.....I'm putting my money on you! LOL
I'm mostly here for the friendly digs at Eamon, but the Tiger King costume was a bonus! I'm wondering if the snakes and spiders will be welcome in the guest suite ???
I think it’s great that you showed the day to day behind the scenes Max, as that’s what life evolves around. You should definitely do more of this. Really loved watching this video on you tackling all the jobs that need to doing around your place. It’s a lot of work maintaining a properly like yours and on top of that the significant work your doing on your house. All the best, Gray Box 😊
The little things make the life so much better for you and Occy. Please continue to share them. As for the outdoor shower suggestions that you solicited, a towel/ robe hook, a door (not a curtain), terrific shower head, and great drainage so those pesky nature friends stay in nature. All the best!
I needed the real laugh at Eamon!! Great example of your point! So much work you guys do!! I’ve enjoyed the beautiful property and all of the improvements. Always love seeing Occy!
You two are great . I'm an Ozzie too so I identify with you You are so honest and genuine.It's makes your videos so easy to watch and enjoy,not least of which is your relationship with Occy. Thankyou for allowing us all to follow your journey.I'm a grandmother of three young men and a great Nanna of one little boy.They are all as lovely as you. ❤😊
Stillsons was the exact tool for the job! Love ur camp mate. I’ve been off grid for 23 years. You will never look back. Great content, great dog, great bloke.👍🍻🎯🇦🇺
Kookaburra’s name at first I thought it’s Eamon def. But burro “Bec”! More accurate if you don’t name the bird Fitz! Lol. Hey Tiger King! Btw was my idea! Haha ! Hug Occy! Loved seeing your Mum! Take good care of yourself! Thank you for our enjoyment watching!
I enjoy these less glamorous videos just as much as the hero shots, because it helps when I'm elbow deep in my own DIY adventure and nothing is going to plan - or way over plan! That I'm not the only one 😅
Kookie the Kookaburra seems to love your slice of paradise too! I enjoyed your bit of real life footage....we all gotta do it to keep things moving along ❤️🙌💚 Good luck with the H2o pump, and more importantly the septic😳😳 See ya next time👏👋👋👋
Organizing is kind of my thing, been doing it since I was a toddler. If I was in Australia I’d organize your tool patio and everything for you. No outdoor shower needed.
Thanks for sharing! I had my Australian shepherd for close to 15 years and I can sense his presence sometimes. I hope you have occupied with you much longer
We had to replace the septic system at our house last year for the same issues. Good luck! It’s a long and expensive process at least in the US but worth it 😊
Keep up the great work; I’ve been following you for a few years now and have really enjoyed your journey. Happy to see your new home and am eager to see where this takes you. My Sundays get better when I see a new video posted, thank you for that!!
Max, I really enjoyed this behind the scenes look at your life. It's wonderful to see you being extra-real. And may this 63 year old lady say, that extra-real version of you is so cute and lovable. Blessings on all your endeavours from American Grace living in India 🦚🦚🦚
Thank you for this video! I am always so happy and excited when I see the notification. Big hugs to you and Occy from the opposite side of the world, Croatia in Europe! 💗👋🐶
I love that you said the discount code for "those of you who need it"... somehow I never thought of it that way. Why not purchase at full price if you can, and help out who you're supporting ❤❤❤ 😁👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the snake warning Max, appriciate it!! I have an insane fear of snakes even ones through my tv. I always cuddle a pillow when I watch your videos, in case there is a snake on screen 😂 Love what you're doing with the place!
Max such a beautiful setting yes you do have a piece of paradise with all its challenges totally agree with your guest room perfect 👍 so good to see you and Ocky enjoy your time with Mum and your sister. Much respect to you enjoy your time building your dream you are worth it, loved your visit to Eamon and Bec’s cabin you did a great job with Eamon. You can keep the leeches lol 🥰🥰🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍❤️❤️
OhmyGAWD. need that Green and Grey sweatshirt for my 31 yr old son! I didn't even get past that part of the video before making the comment! Ok off to watch your film. ❤️ ❤❤ you 2.....
Note to self - Don't eat your dinner whilst watching Max's videos. 😮 Good to see behind the scenes and that things don't always go smoothly like in real life.
What a blessing to have such beauty around you. Nature is so healimg. Im so glad to have found your channel. You inspire me to work on my mental health. On a side note, how is Occy's weight loss going?
One of my dreams was to visit you but after watching this…..I’ll just be friends with you through your videos! I still ADORE you and am a die hard fan no matter what!!!! Those leaches were very cute, I must admit. YIKES! Moving on…. How about the name Moccy or Maxcy, combined names of you and Occy…..for the birdie( I forget his type). Take care, stay safe and oh…. And THANK YOU for the MUSIC! I’ve been wanting to know who he was for sooooo long! Thanks for the video!
Being a homeowner is so much fun😊😊! Love your video today..you still have a beautiful place, animals bugs etc. with your vision and hard work you will have a home that you can be proud of..and we get to cheer you on!
Reggie or Jerry the Kookaburra 😁. Love your videos and please do not feel stressed for being late or missing a wk sharing a new update. Your personal health and family is more important. So very glad you enjoyed your visit with your mom and sister.
Thank you for sharing with us Max. Nice to see that you did not forget about the main cabin, at least some of it Glad about the behind of scenes Enjoy your paradise :-)
Wonderful to see behind scenes. This makes it more real for those who have experienced the same "perfect purchases" and gives insight to those who are dreaming of the same lifestyle. It always costs more, takes more time and effort than imagined. So just think that you bought it for the property and wonderful vegetation. Then as you get discouraged you can rationalize that all these issues can be fixed, but you will never be able to duplicate the property. For the outside shower... what about making it yourself with copper piping and a bit of lumber to support it. Also with guests you will want either a wooden blind or a piece of cloth hung between two posts for some privacy. Don't forget a hook for clothes and dry towel. Glad to see your family was able to visit.
We just bought three quarters of an acre in the country Katanning W.A and now I'm freaked out about snakes, so been googling natural snake repellent, you was so brave. 😊
⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is so wonderful to see you & Occy. Max, you have truly done a great job with the place and it only gets better cause you're where you want to be in life. Sending you only the very best wishes for years to come, as we all witness your growth as Occy cheers on... Abrazos
A warm climate really changes the degree of effort in house construction. The outdoor well pump with hand connections just makes me smile. I need a well crane to get at mine, and the plumbing is a big job.
You probably can't imagine how much I enjoy your shares....my Dad was always good at making and fixing stuff, and I got to help a lot or at least watch. He could do anything...if he didn't already know how, he would figure out how.
Max, thanks for sharing and it's really nice to get a behind the scenes look at your property and what goes on there. I'd suggest paying a professional to sort your septic tank, as well as you not having to do it, they should be up to date with all the local rules and regulations. Take care ❤
Family time is most important 💗. give them tons of attention, we will wait here! Occy is like my Zana, aging fast. The place will come together faster than you think, just stay positive day by day! Id love to have a male and female of those tiny cute animals just as pets. I'd let them and their babes take over my land. Way cuter than the groundhogs I have! Spiders, I have Tn.grass spiders. They get inch larger than wolf spider. Not deadly but the bite is very painful. Huge bodies, long long legs, hairy spiders. I dont mind them as long as its not a surprise. Which with spiders and snakes,, its always a surprise. Much love to you both from Tennessee 💗🐾🐾🕷🕸 Yukie!!!!!!/

Max this is a hard start to your off grid journey but don't get discouraged. It will get better. The bones of the house are not glorious to fix but there is an incredible reward to making them come back to life again. Also remember you are saving tens of thousands of dollars by doing all this work yourself. It's time consuming, dirty, and labor intensive but you are making it happen. You are doing all of this on your own so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Don't forget to reach out to your friends for support. I'm sure the VanWives would love to offer advice especially about living without indoor plumbing. We all want you to succeed. You got this. Keep going buddy!
You're right, thank you so much Corrie 💛
Max has had help from friends & family to help with the jobs on the property. So he is very lucky to have had help.

Hi Max! Dog groomer here. Not trying to overstep, I love your channel, but if you have the chance to give Occy a proper shave down now that the weather is warming up, I can’t recommend it enough. Senior dogs have bad troubles with their mobility and their joints which only gets worse with time. Occy is glorious with all of his floof but he could have upwards of 10lbs of fur on him right now. Having that weight taken off is an incredible preventative measure for your pup’s mobility and strength moving forward. He will thank you for it. Just a suggestion ❤❤❤
You're not late making your video! You're on time. Don't worry about sticking to a specific timeline! We're all here.
Max - seeing behind the scenes was so interesting. Snakes, spiders, leeches are so important. The birds and little paddy melons are beautiful. :) Love your piece of paradise.
Glad you enjoyed it! 💛
I agree it IS paradise.. but after seeing the snakes please make a platform for the guest bed 🥹
Oh, there is spiders? 😢
@@gustavmielke777we have spiders the size of wall clocks.
That’s pademelons actually. Paddy melons are wild fruits that lie on the ground on a vine. You’re right, they are really cute. 🦋
The shot of the slatter bug unfurling was epic! So sorry to hear the previous owner did more shitty things for you to discover!
Ha thank you! 💛😅
Love seeing Occy. He reminds me of my Aussie girl Mollie I lost to cancer two weeks ago. Give him a big hug.
So sorry for your loss. They touch our hearts forever.
Sorry for your loss 💛
It seems like the previous owner wasn't honest about some serious things regarding the property. Such a shame, but you're doing amazing!
I’ve got my boyfriend hooked on watching Occy and you. We make it a Sunday evening watching all three Eamon and Bec Van Wives and Occy and you.
I loved seeing all the wildlife in the video today! So much of our lives are not glamorous so I appreciate the behind the scenes perspective. You are such a hard worker and Occy is always there to lend a paw. 🐶Have a wonderful week. And everyone, let’s continue to prioritize our mental health.

If you’re going to feed birds meat, please dont buy it from the shops. It will not have enough calcium in it. Pal dog food would be better . 💓

Occy is a beautiful dog. That little kangaroo is sweet too. The snakes? Not so much. Your property has so many possibilities. Have fun.
personally, i love what you call behind the scenes. its all part of living in paradise. gives more of a complete story. thanks for the video
Great video! Am so amazed at the beauty of your property. I live in the Uk and we just don’t have the vastness that you have. Truly beautiful ❤
Bed would have to be off the floor because of snakes and a suspended bug net for the bed to keep spiders off. Love the keeping it real video! ❤ 😊
More videos like this one please - it’s all behind the scenes for a vlog viewer - living vicariously
I love seeing how happy your little piece of Heaven makes you. I can feel it all the way here! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

Stillsons was the exact tool for the job! Love ur camp mate. I’ve been off grid for 23 years. You will never look back.
Great content, great dog, great bloke.👍🍻🎯🇦🇺
Kookaburra’s name at first I thought it’s Eamon def. But burro “Bec”! More accurate if you don’t name the bird Fitz! Lol. Hey Tiger King! Btw was my idea! Haha ! Hug Occy! Loved seeing your Mum! Take good care of yourself! Thank you for our enjoyment watching!
Always great to see you and Occy doing your thing, Max. Love to you and your best friend 😘💛
Thank you so much 💛
I enjoy these less glamorous videos just as much as the hero shots, because it helps when I'm elbow deep in my own DIY adventure and nothing is going to plan - or way over plan! That I'm not the only one 😅
I love the glorious shots of the beauty everywhere but also the behind the scenes so we can learn basic skills for common problems too ❤
Always enjoy seeing the reality of it Max. Looking forward to the merch.
Thanks Beth! 💛
Must say I find you so refreshingly different and Occy is adorable
Kookie the Kookaburra seems to love your slice of paradise too! I enjoyed your bit of real life footage....we all gotta do it to keep things moving along ❤️🙌💚 Good luck with the H2o pump, and more importantly the septic😳😳 See ya next time👏👋👋👋
Organizing is kind of my thing, been doing it since I was a toddler. If I was in Australia I’d organize your tool patio and everything for you. No outdoor shower needed.
Max, thanks so much for the spider warning!!!! Cause I literally will have a heart attack 😬😬😬
Great video as always ❤❤
Oh dear. I couldn't handle the leaches. You are so brave Max. Beautiful video. You live in an incredibly beautiful world.
Thanks for sharing! I had my Australian shepherd for close to 15 years and I can sense his presence sometimes. I hope you have occupied with you much longer
The drone in the tree is one of your best intros ever 🤣 Occy’s doing well with the hill intervals too! Looking forward to the merch drop 💛
We had to replace the septic system at our house last year for the same issues. Good luck! It’s a long and expensive process at least in the US but worth it 😊
This WILL be a million subscriber channel. You have limitless content!
Keep up the great work; I’ve been following you for a few years now and have really enjoyed your journey. Happy to see your new home and am eager to see where this takes you. My Sundays get better when I see a new video posted, thank you for that!!
Max, I really enjoyed this behind the scenes look at your life. It's wonderful to see you being extra-real. And may this 63 year old lady say, that extra-real version of you is so cute and lovable. Blessings on all your endeavours from American Grace living in India 🦚🦚🦚
Thank you for this video! I am always so happy and excited when I see the notification. Big hugs to you and Occy from the opposite side of the world, Croatia in Europe! 💗👋🐶
12:52 omg,!! Rolly pollies! You unlocked a core memory of mine
Great vid, Max. Snakes are a no from me too. Can’t wait for the merch drop. Give Oc a hug and some pets from me.
A very fair no in my opinion.
So excited to potentially see someone rocking my merch!
Consider Occy pat 💛
I love that you said the discount code for "those of you who need it"... somehow I never thought of it that way. Why not purchase at full price if you can, and help out who you're supporting ❤❤❤ 😁👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the snake warning Max, appriciate it!! I have an insane fear of snakes even ones through my tv. I always cuddle a pillow when I watch your videos, in case there is a snake on screen 😂 Love what you're doing with the place!
Max such a beautiful setting yes you do have a piece of paradise with all its challenges totally agree with your guest room perfect 👍 so good to see you and Ocky enjoy your time with Mum and your sister. Much respect to you enjoy your time building your dream you are worth it, loved your visit to Eamon and Bec’s cabin you did a great job with Eamon. You can keep the leeches lol 🥰🥰🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍❤️❤️
Great seeing you and Occy this morning. I have been waiting for you to start on the cabin again. Enjoyed this video ❤.
OhmyGAWD. need that Green and Grey sweatshirt for my 31 yr old son! I didn't even get past that part of the video before making the comment! Ok off to watch your film. ❤️ ❤❤ you 2.....
It surly takes a special person to live where you do. Congrats on your merch!! 😊❤
Thank you! 💛
Note to self - Don't eat your dinner whilst watching Max's videos. 😮
Good to see behind the scenes and that things don't always go smoothly like in real life.
😂
What a blessing to have such beauty around you. Nature is so healimg. Im so glad to have found your channel. You inspire me to work on my mental health.
On a side note, how is Occy's weight loss going?
One of my dreams was to visit you but after watching this…..I’ll just be friends with you through your videos! I still ADORE you and am a die hard fan no matter what!!!! Those leaches were very cute, I must admit. YIKES! Moving on….
How about the name Moccy or Maxcy, combined names of you and Occy…..for the birdie( I forget his type). Take care, stay safe and oh…. And THANK YOU for the MUSIC! I’ve been wanting to know who he was for sooooo long! Thanks for the video!
Being a homeowner is so much fun😊😊! Love your video today..you still have a beautiful place, animals bugs etc. with your vision and hard work you will have a home that you can be proud of..and we get to cheer you on!
Thank you so much Connie! 💛
Reggie or Jerry the Kookaburra 😁. Love your videos and please do not feel stressed for being late or missing a wk sharing a new update. Your personal health and family is more important. So very glad you enjoyed your visit with your mom and sister.
Thank you for sharing with us Max.
Nice to see that you did not forget about the main cabin, at least some of it
Glad about the behind of scenes
Enjoy your paradise :-)
Definitely haven’t forgotten about the cabin! Renovations (& permits) take time 😊
I think all the work is worth the beauty you get to wake up to each day what a blessing see you next week 😊
Nice to see behind the scenes of you and Occy! Things are progressing nicely. Happy to see you had some family time. Snakes and spiders oh my
Thanks for sharing your beautiful land with us . Occy love the paddy melons. Your doing great work .
Love the videos so much thank you for making us smile
Love that! Thank you for being part of the adventure 💛
Wonderful to see behind scenes. This makes it more real for those who have experienced the same "perfect purchases" and gives insight to those who are dreaming of the same lifestyle. It always costs more, takes more time and effort than imagined. So just think that you bought it for the property and wonderful vegetation. Then as you get discouraged you can rationalize that all these issues can be fixed, but you will never be able to duplicate the property.
For the outside shower... what about making it yourself with copper piping and a bit of lumber to support it. Also with guests you will want either a wooden blind or a piece of cloth hung between two posts for some privacy. Don't forget a hook for clothes and dry towel. Glad to see your family was able to visit.
We just bought three quarters of an acre in the country Katanning W.A and now I'm freaked out about snakes, so been googling natural snake repellent, you was so brave. 😊
Love and peace as always 🦘😘😘
⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is so wonderful to see you & Occy. Max, you have truly done a great job with the place and it only gets better cause you're where you want to be in life. Sending you only the very best wishes for years to come, as we all witness your growth as Occy cheers on... Abrazos
A warm climate really changes the degree of effort in house construction. The outdoor well pump with hand connections just makes me smile. I need a well crane to get at mine, and the plumbing is a big job.
Love watching you and Occy , your place is so amazing and beautiful. Your doing amazing work building your dream location
You probably can't imagine how much I enjoy your shares....my Dad was always good at making and fixing stuff, and I got to help a lot or at least watch. He could do anything...if he didn't already know how, he would figure out how.
Max, thanks for sharing and it's really nice to get a behind the scenes look at your property and what goes on there. I'd suggest paying a professional to sort your septic tank, as well as you not having to do it, they should be up to date with all the local rules and regulations. Take care ❤
From the States: I love all the wildlife you show us!
Family time is most important 💗. give them tons of attention, we will wait here!
Occy is like my Zana, aging fast. The place will come together faster than you think, just stay positive day by day!
Id love to have a male and female of those tiny cute animals just as pets. I'd let them and their babes take over my land. Way cuter than the groundhogs I have! Spiders, I have Tn.grass spiders. They get inch larger than wolf spider. Not deadly but the bite is very painful. Huge bodies, long long legs, hairy spiders. I dont mind them as long as its not a surprise. Which with spiders and snakes,, its always a surprise. Much love to you both from Tennessee 💗🐾🐾🕷🕸 Yukie!!!!!!/
