These are some pictures of our lot. My husband started out clearing all of the under-brush by hand and ax.. d* Time consuming! So we invested in a weed eater with attachments and a good chainsaw. This is what we came out with! The tub was free and we are refinishing it with a kit from home depot. Hope it turns out. We plan on putting a larger house in the front of the lot later on down the line. We love the plans we bought from here and can not wait to get this thing up!! :)

Those are some good pictures, pretty corner of the world. Is that Mississipi?
Good luck to you, I am on a similar path. For what it's worth I found a few things that also help if your doing it by hand.
Good loppers. I had a corona that died after a dozen or so trips and just recently picked up an all steel sears model. Got gifted a wood chipper, had no idea how useful that thing is until I used it. Brush piles into mulch, off the tree and into the ground, no messy brushpile to drag and burn.
Also a decent cart, when I got the loppers at sears I saw an 800 pound rated cart for 59 bucks and picked it up. Its an oversized wagon, http://www.gorillaladders.net/pc-34-15-800-lb-utility-cart-with-convertible-d-handle.aspx very handy for moving piles .. and in my case a large deer feeder and corn.
Lastly a good machete helps, skip the flimsy ones from coleman. I got a cold steel kukri from africa, hefty but not heavy. I think I paid 12 and its been worth every penny. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cold+steel+kukri&btnG=Google+Search
Good luck again, that tub needs some love.
yeah, we got the tub for free.. I like free.. ;D we bought a kit from home depot and plan on refinishing it. Hope it works. We are moving from Florida, so we are trying to buy everything in MS. That way it does not cost us an arm and leg to move. Thanks for the advice Muldoon!! I will tell my husband!

Ah, another Florida escapee. Much cheaper to move to Mississippi than to Washington State!
Nice pix, Natasha. Looks like you are started on a great adventure.
