I bought a piece of land close to the aegean sea 

I think you mean 'holy' trees lol

Exactly my thoughts. maybe later he could fix the old cabin for the production of his olive oil. What a gift!

He has to go traditional if he's building new, the nomarchia has this requirement, thank God! Ceramic roof, wooden window-frames, plakes Piliou etc. I think building permits are not issued at the moment in Magnisia, however, due to previous irregularities, so maybe things will have to change before that can happen.

its a law to preserve the architectural type of pelion that's why you don't see modern houses etc

I hope you listen to excellent advice .

True, they are a gift, never destroy olive trees.

that size Olivetrees 200 - 300 y ! And in a very good shape...no reason to cut them off, one must be glad to have sthg. like that.....

If he puts those trees into production they have to be pruned ...I'm no expert but I've been watching Sarah & Luca & baby Luce in Sicily (LEAW) and that is what they did with help from friends. He looks too old frankly to be scrambling up high into the trees to gather olives, maybe he can get some help. Honestly, they look prettier unpruned, and natural & I'm not sure there are machines in Greece that shake the trees that are employed on some farms. Besides, he wants a view ...and he said he would relocate a few of those trees to obtain the view he desires. @@031doolittle

Hi from turkey, Other Side of agea sea, (assos)it is difficult to live in here anymore,climate change makes everything different, I hope you made your plan considering the new sitations which climate change will bring.

Thank you very much, and yes there is a lot of improvement and things needs to be upgraded.

​@@caseybachmeyerho w much money you payed for the land?

60 euro for 1000l of water 🤯

How you use rainwater It is not good for drinking

@@zaklinakovace6792 the water required for drinking can be easily obtained from markets. you can use rainwater for household needs such as laundry, dishes, bathing, cleaning and regular watering of trees and plants.

@@zaklinakovace6792 If treated properly, rain water is potable.

@@beakerhashing How you will store 60 tons of water? 😂 Not to mention its hard to collect that amount? From where he will collect that amounts of rainwater?

@@giannispets plastic water storage containers. They come in 10 ton, 20 ton, and 30 ton. You can catch water off your house. From the months of November to May there is plenty of rainfall to collect what you need for personal consumption and farming.

Olive trees handle relocation very well, due to their unique root system. Just watched a video from Portugal. A family relocated old, abandoned olive trees from a neglected Forrest to their farm. The trees are doing very well 2 months later.

@@iu.5146 Ty for reply, the more you learn i guess, had no clue olives handle relocation well.

@@tolgaucar-gl1vm ty!

@@iu.5146yes I saw that vid as well (thenewbys) and they also visited an olive tree nursery where they showed how they move these old big trees.

​@@iu.5146it depends, th criterion is the summer months. If they survive their first summer in the new location, then yes the have made it...

thats what i am thinking about, but first i have to make a road and a plattform for this...the excavator will come in the next days hopefully

​​@@caseybachmeyeryou are lucky enough.... However ,be in a harry! Very soon, situation globally will change Please be prepered (food,cash money, bottles of drinking water, medicine,radio,all type of amenities,tools not electric, fuel,some lighters using the sun power and a lot of matches... Energy from solar panels. God bless you!

@@caseybachmeyer The Greek way is as follows: Buy an old caravan, no need to be able to move, just ensure is it weather proof and have them sent it over. As long as it has wheels it is not a building therefore you have established a roof over your head without messing with the bureaucracy. Even when you built etc it is going to be useful for storage or accommodate friends etc. Round two, figure out what is happening with the water in the area, if are You allowed to drill and what are the chances. Best way to find out is by searching what is happening to the properties around as well as by asking the locals. Be discreet, don’t reveal much just gain infos. Entering a local society and making them trust you and accept you gonna take years. Next round is electric power acquisition gonna be needed for the pump etc etc. if the existing building even as is has been declared in the property most possibly gonna be easy to get it. Finally ask the locals bout the sewage how it works etc. they usually build tanks. All the above are based on minimum expenses, getting to know the locals will help as they are aware of all the loopholes. Notice : the Greek National land registry is a service getting digital for some years now, ensure your property is registered to you correctly. Any questions feel free to ask.

thanks a lot! My greek needs to be better...so i will keep on learning

Thanks a lot for your comment! Yes, its a lot of fun and i love it. The trees will be relocated in december or january. I think everybody who owns a land knows about that. This is just the beginning and there will come a lot of equipment the next weeks and month...

thanks a lot!

that sounds really nice! I think this is a big chance to create something wonderful. I try my best...

@@caseybachmeyer May I join you☺️ My dream was Italy however, nothing is set in stone… except those stunning olive trees😂

Thank you very much! Yes, thats what i was also thinking.

Watching him drag that ladder to the olive tree, completely out of breath, makes me wonder how the heck he's going to build a whole house.

Thank you very much Alberto!

Thanks a lot for your advice, have a great day!

Hello neighbor, thanks a lot!

Hi you are already in the Greek culture ,you speak Greek well enough, Greek salad on the menu , for your works to clear some trees for better view ok but for treaming the branches get an expert opinion for those olive trees.Good luck on your adventure.

Perhaps do the ruin up to a shed for tools etc. Build a new house on a hight, so you overlook the trees and don't have to transplant or damage them. The view is everything!

Yes man.I m sure that the help he will need Hellenes will provide him,at a point if not already he enjoys Hellenic hospitality.

thanks a lot!

when its done? It is already breathtaking beautiful..

@@caseybachmeyer Yes, the land is. I was talking about your self-sufficient house & garden.

Hello Joanna and thanks a lot! I will keep all trees because i need every single one of them..I move about 15 - 20 trees to another position on the land...there is a lot of space

Thank you very much! Yes there are many Olive trees...150 maybe

thanks a lot! Mizzouri Ozarks very beautiful place! Ready for landscape photography!

Hi Frank, tausend Dank! Das war eine schwere Geburt, aber hat dann plötzlich doch noch geklappt. Das ist noch Supermarktware...aber bald gibts eigenes...aus dem eigenen, mediterranen Garten, hoff ich

interessant auch, dass wir zur selben Zeit das Makro-Objektiv rausholen 😃

@@caseybachmeyer das macht auch ab und an so richtig Spaß, aber wir haben dieses Jahr, so schlechtes und kaltes Wetter wie lange nicht mehr. Wenn ich dann deine Bilder und das Video von deinen herrlichen Grundstück sehe, und auch noch einen schönen Tomaten Salat in freier Natur essen. Da muss ich sagen alles richtig gemacht 👍

that true, its an amazing place

Thanks a lot Michelle!

Thank you very much Angelika! Yes, with the size we are very lucky..nothern greece? Chalkidiki?

thank you very much! And you are right, of course. There will be a better solution for this, maybe a small wooden cabin or a bigger tent.

Good Morning! Thank you very much! Yes, there are many ideas and lots of works
