A major clean up around your house costs nothing and will give focus and a roadmap to the future plans which are great. Happy New Year.

Love to see your vision for the place. Amazing plans folks - looking forward to following along and watch it evolve and come together. Happy new year folks x

❤🎉 Like your plans very much. Start the clean-up ASAP. Clearing up trees and getting your electrical and plumbing buried and in, consider placement of the electrical and plumbing for tiny homes along the way. Anything that involves digging get er done, less mess once done. Driveways, too. I guess that would be called foundation projects? Then, since its of no monetary costs, dig up and move the old cottage soil n plants into place and put up the windows for the conservatory. A small win to keep you motivated. In-between the solar. Another foundation project. That's nuff for know! Lol best of the New Year to you all!❤🎉

When I think of a party barn I am reminded of a great barn party I went to that had a giant swing that you could jump from into a giant pile of hay. That was spectacular. Great work guys.

Such exciting times for you all! Great plans ahead! It’s really smart to go over these plans with all of us! Looking forward to seeing all of this happen!!

Wow what great plans! I think its the 25yr plan 😂 We moved into our house 29yrs ago working on the 25yr plan Guess what ? We are still at it😂😂😂 Good luck to you all You will have an amazing family home if it doesn't kill you first Its a hard slog ❤

As a landscaper would label 2 or more sticks with 1ft or 30 cm measurements up the whole lenght, so you can work out how great your fall is from the driveway. Unless you get lots of free soil, building anything against the shed is a no, no, as your land slopes into the front of the shed/workshop.
Water flows, wind, sun direction, and children growing up and leaving home, all have to be considered.
Personally would get a professional to design your drainage from driveway, live on top of a slope, in heavy down pours rain would gouge out the shingle on the driveway, put in a swale which most people don't see, because they don't see the finer details.

I like what you're going to do, but Happy new year to you and your family

[BlueBird-nfgp]

Excellent plans! Love the inspiration photos too. Could you put a gym for your son near the pool? It would be cool to look out at the pool while working out. Maybe build the tiny homes and party barn/event space and rent out all of those spaces for income? No matter what you decide, I’m sure it will be beautiful! Best of luck! 😊❤🍀

[maeveskelly]

Wow- what plans! The tiny homes are a good idea for sure. You will need something to deaden the traffic sounds in time for them but that’s a challenge for down the road. I enjoyed hearing your ideas for the whole property. And Rob, I’m with you on the raspberries. I buy and freeze mine but I will have a garden when my house is finished this year and there will deffo be razzers planted.

[Debbie-ktck]

Great plans, love the visuals, I saw the tree trunks and thought they’d make great table tops and then you said it😁 you’ve achieved a huge amount this year, wishing you a very Happy New Year, look forward to 2025 ❤

[jacquipettitt]

Oooh...all very exciting people. I'm looking forward to seeing these plans of yours unfold. Happy New Year 🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈🥂🥂

[sharonpettman]

Can't wait for 2025 to watch the progress you are going to make, I never really realised how much land you have wow. Your ideas sound amazing. Happy New Year to you all ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[ellenchapman]

Once you focus your efforts on making the clearance, the place itself will tell you which project comes next. The idea of creating an income from holiday lets would seem to be an important step in the right direction, so even if you don't have the finances in place to get those completed, doing the groundwork around that area would make it easier to bring that into being. It will be fun to follow the journey, whatever you decide to focus on, it looks like there are a few years of videos ahead :)

[donlynefullofpeace]

Hello, Hope your Christmas was wonderful, and I pray your New Year will be prosperous for you all. The plans for the land sounds amazing. First step would be clearing the land, All stones in one area, rent a wood chipper, that can also help you for around the plants or parking with the gravel stones. then rent a bobcat the dig, carry and push heavy boulders or tree stomps. Looking forward to see the plans come into fruition. Blessings to you all, from NY

[deborahmapps]

So many plans can't wait. A good clean up and wood chopping to get you started and yes definitely get going on the rentals to help pay for the upkeep and future projects, it's all so exciting for us but so much hard work for you both so don't burn yourself out ❤

[EnglishMadeleine]

Whatever you decide to do next, one thing you can be sure of is - we’ll all come along for the ride 😀
Happy New Year to you and yours 🥳🍾🥂
