My last shop was a 30×40 shop with some outdoor working space on our less than 1-acre property. The new shop will be 40×60, with 2 acres dedicated to indoor and outdoor work on our 101-acre property. The surrounding few acres are also available if we need to expand.

I hired someone to create a driveway and clear these 2 acres to speed things along. I’m a big fan of doing things myself and putting in the sweat equity, but let’s be real here. Clearing this all alone would take months compared to a few working days with heavy equipment.

These two acres will be cleared using a mini excavator and a dozer. On day one of clearing, only the excavator was used. A lot has happened since this video was shot, so stay tuned!
