What this video covers

A flash flood forced the demolition of a bamboo villa at a rainforest property in Puerto Rico after rising river water reached the structure's deck during a heavy rainstorm. The owners determined the site was unsafe for permanent habitation due to the risk of flooding during hurricane-strength weather. They are now salvaging the lumber for a new, safer construction project. Meanwhile, the property manager successfully maintained the farm's goat herd, implementing a slatted fence design to prevent the animals from getting their horns stuck in previous square-mesh enclosures. The owners also added three ducklings to the farm to assist with garden pest control, noting that ducks cause less damage to vegetation than chickens. Maintenance efforts continue on the property's landscaping and gate systems, with plans to replace a sagging, heavy-duty hinged gate with a lighter sliding design. The owners are currently balancing farm management with the challenges of living in a small RV with a newborn.
