Part 3/10:
Upon purchasing the property, Clarkson wasn't content to leave it as he found it. In typical Clarkson fashion, he embarked on a massive renovation, culminating in the destruction of the original farmhouse. This controversial decision sparked animosity among local residents, especially when he named the new establishment "Diddly Squat"—a tongue-in-cheek nod to the perceived lack of productivity. The new farmhouse featured lavish amenities including a basement cinema, gaming room, and upscale horse facilities. Despite his grand plans, the farming venture truly began when Howard Pauling, a local villager and former contractor, retired that same year, prompting Clarkson to take the reins himself.
