Restoring Garden Tractor & Homestead Lawn & Garden Day

in #life7 years ago

I got this old Snapper riding lawn mower for $20 and am getting it fixed up. We are on an off grid homestead of 18 acres and trying to become self sufficient and fully off the grid on a budget.

The only thing still fully on the grid right now is our water pump which is 240 volts. I hope to eliminate even that by using rain water collection and 12 volt DC water pumps soon.

I am sharing all of our videos since we moved to our new homestead in Michigan this spring, to the present. When I am caught up, I will continue to share our daily videos and articles as they occur.

Today I want to share two of our videos with you.

This was right after Memorial weekend. We spent quality time with our family.

In the next video I had to mow our entire lawn with a self propelled push mower. It is a HUGE lawn.

I am working on my old Snapper riding mower to help get the job done easier in the future.

Trolls - if you hate me so much and cant stand my videos there is a very simple solution - GO AWAY!!!

There is not need to harass someone constantly and the steemit community does not want your hate on here.

You have to ask yourself why would Reid not want you to go the
http://thedoityourselfworld.sucks/forum/index.php forum
Could it be that he may not want you to know the truth about his evil scamming ways.

Hay man. Sorry to see you going through all these attacks. I love your videos and think you are really doing something important

Thanks. And thanks for watching. For your own protection please do not engage them.

No thanks. I will make up my own mind who and what I want to believe.

Looks like some crazy mad stuff on your site. But I dont see any real, solid evidence against him. Just a lot of hate.

Stop spreading your filthy hate site on my posts. These people are urging others to actually come to our home and cause us harm.

The are constantly attempting to destroy our lives. It is WAY beyond trolling.

Avoid their hate site like the plague. It is not healthy for you.

Where are 3 riding mowers you had in Pine Bush? To hard to load during your Midnight run from the toxic dump?

The moving truck we ordered was supposed to have a lift gate. The one we ended up with did not. It had a walk up ramp. The Snapper was the only one that would fit up that narrow ramp. But you know that since its all in the videos.

Never heard of Planks. Christ you had 5 semi loads of barn wood and hundreds of pallets. Some prepper you are.
Just Sayin.

While this mower was on end for 6 weeks, Troy took advantage of his good natured neighbor to mow his sizeable property twice. Troy takes advantage of all around him. Take, take, take and he never does or gives anything back. Same neighbor has hauled and loaded mulch and many other items for him. Troy does nothing in return. Asking what he does for his neighbor will get you blocked and banned on his youtube channel. One way Troy ==> shitheel taker, never a giver

You have admitted that your trailer and cabin are not hooked up to solar, there is no battery bank or charge controller in them, so why are you still claiming to be off-grid?

More lies...

See http://thedoityourselfworld.sucks/forum for details on this scammer.

STOP SPAMMING MY POSTS WITH YOUR FILTHY STINKING CESSPOOL OF A FORUM!!!!!!!

I have shown again and again how I power things on solar at my property. Everyone can see the videos for themselves.

Poor little man. Ebegging and lying is bad for your health. Should get your blood pressure checked. I think it might be a little high.
Not sure if you noticed but I think your caps lock is stuck on.

The only thing bothering me is nasty trolls harassing me and my family.

Making YouTube videos for a living is a legitimate business. So is selling homemade products.

Go away!!!!

You made your own bed now lie in it.
The grass still does not get 10" tall overnight. Remember banning me now?

I dont even know who you are and I would probably ban you again if you made another channel to harass me with.

I understand it must be difficult to remember all those you have banned for stating fact. How do you keep track of your alt accounts? That would be a large number too.

Yes Folks make sure you check out this forum and make sure you know where your wallet is at all times.
Troy Reid can not be trusted with anything. He is a weasel and a scum sucking con man.

Stop spamming my posts with your hate site. People - the site they are spreading is full of hate and its sole intention is to destroy the lives of our family.

Avoid it for your own health.

Would you not be bothered by a group of hate filled trolls trying to destroy every aspect of your life? I would think so!

Troy, there is no need to lie constantly and the steemit community does not want you peddling your scams on here.

Its just videos of our daily lives. You dont like them - LEAVE. There is no need to harass and attack my family like this. Your wonderful forum spurs people on to come out here and literally harass us in person. Are you proud of that?????

Oh. So are you saying that I did not mow the lawn on this day?

Oh my. What a horrible crime you claim against me.

If you do not believe what we show then LEAVE.

It is YouTube. It is FREE entertainment.

If you dont believe us or dont like us then leave.

Do you ever watch your own videos Troy? This one is 95% you gasbagging and pointing at stuff, with zero footage of you doing anything. That’s why so many subscribers just give up watching your videos. There is a channel called Primitive Technology where he makes very interesting and entertaining videos of himself making things and doing stuff. He doesn’t even say a word in his videos, but he gets millions of views. You are the opposite of him. You still haven’t demonstrated how the trailer and cabin are connected to solar. The fact you had to drag the mini washer out to the shed to get solar kind of proves that your dwellings are close to 100% ON grid.

Then leave!!!!! NOBODY is forcing you to be here. Its YouTube videos of our daily lives. Dont like it then leave us alone. Your hate forum is causing people to come to our house and personally harass us. This has crossed over the line from mere trolling.

LEAVE!!!!!!!!

To stop spreading the truth that Troy Reid thediyworld is a scum sucking scammer would make one an accomplice to your crimes. Hard to prosecute cause money value is low with high volume of victims. No right to tell anyone to leave, scamming piece of :shit:

Its a video. Its entertainment. If you dont like it or dont belive it then leave.

I mean really, you have taken this way too far.

Are you serious? The only one guilty of any crimes is you and that is the crime of harassment.

If you do not like my videos or if you do not believe what we say then LEAVE!!!

Its really simple.

Its called YouTube. Its FREE entertainment.

The only victims are those who your friends are destroying.

The victims are the hundreds of good natured folks conned into sending you money and gifts that are sold on craigslist for cash. Tales of woe from a scumbag scammer for donations. You suck.

All lies. I would never sell anything I received as a gift. Again you try to turn people against me.

Only lies are your tales of woe. Hundreds of gift items vanished after unboxing in your videos. Your videos show what you do. You are not smart enough to con and constantly expose your previous LIES and evidence of your misdeeds.

Oh boy. You are just impossible. Just go away. This cannot be healthy for you.

Get a hobby or something.

More than 5 years living off of others peoples work and money is too far. Get a job and support yourself and your family like the rest of the world. It is video entertainment and also all LIES for DONATIONS scamming people of their hard earned money.

Then leave!!!!! NOBODY is forcing you to be here. Its YouTube videos of our daily lives. Dont like it then leave us alone. Your hate forum is causing people to come to our house and personally harass us. This has crossed over the line from mere trolling.

LEAVE!!!!!!!!

Question ?
Is there a DoItyourself.sucks dedicated forum on this steemit site.
If not there should be to warn all good steemers to stir clear of Troy Reid the professional scumbag scamming con man.

Go away. All we do is make videos of our daily lives. If you dont like it then leave.
