Caught some tree limbs but otherwise, nice time. Archer seemed to walk me verses me walking Archer. Was a great fishing tail...

This storm that finally passed through has been said to be the worst snow storm in the past 30 years here in North Eastern Tennessee. I believe it. We use propane to heat our home here on the mountain. The bill I just got was over 500.00 for 170 gallons fill up. Yikes perhaps we need to consider a woodburning stove later this year. We have a wood burning fireplace but it only heats the immediate area and cannot reach the entire home with heat.
This storm was truly an eye opener. We were stuck on our property for almost a week before my son's honda pilot was usable and the van I own could move on the ice beneath the snow. Even the creek that flows our entire property was frozen over and if you had ice skates, you could ice skate on the creek. Seriously, it was simply a frozen wonderland. Our prepping in the past year was awesome and we were never without heat, water or electric. And when the grid went down, our homestead preparedness with a solar generator was there to keep power in the home. The entire storm opened our eyes to what could have been.
Thanks for watching this brief clip. I hope to have the video regarding the creation of the cement footer and delivery of the custorm shed that was built to house the well pump and all, uploaded very soon. Blessings, Wayne

This irrigation controller disaster hit us on July 9th or at least that's when I discovered that something terrible is wrong here. We have been experiencing a major heat wave here in North Texas and with all of our berries bushes and fruit trees, watering is an absolute must. Plus we have a large amount of sod in our front and back side of our homestead here. The good news is that we have a well, so water is not an issue but it is an issue when you have to manually do the entire acreage.Greg is an awesome neighbor and he could actually do his own TV series as a fix it man. Lol... He just knows how to get things done. A handyman he is. I am having to learn later in life to do these repairs and upkeep but by God's grace and such an awesome neighbor, I am learning. Please join me as Aida and I push forward here to grow our homestead with great neighbors, family and friends. Blessings, Wayne and Aida

Here is part 2 of 3 that I'm sharing here both on utube and SparkyforChrist, Rumble channel.
I go into detail why Aida and I backed out of the recent land acquisition for 5 acres here in Chuckey Tennessee. Everything is stated why you need to research what you are buying before you make any type of commitment. I was slack in that endeavor and almost made the biggest financial mistake of my life.
This video is only 8 minutes long but hopefully will explain why we backed out of the deal and will continue to be more cautious on our journey to find more land in the next year or so.
Hope you enjoy this and be Blessed...?
