Bloody irritating music
Bloody irritating musiv
What a great transformation! Love the calming colour palette, all blends so nicely a real cosy feeling about the whole house. Great compilation video!❤
Its always nice to renovate a old house even if its a lot of work but you can give it your own style, best regards from Northern Norway 🇳🇴 renovated a junk home in the Arctic North
Jag hoppas att du inte betalade för mycket
You two are amazing! Great job.
I enjoyed watching your new journey. If you don't already, you must view "Simple Living Alaska" on RUclips. They live in Zone 2 and are living with moose and other wild animals. You can learn a lot from them. Living in the forest is quite different. I would kill that snake if allowed. A bite from him might kill a small child. Also when there is one there are always 2. I grew up in rattlesnake country in Texas. Only God's protection kept me from being bitten many times. They will kill you and if not they can maim you for life. Also your trees may not grow back the same if they were grafted. And never plant a walnut tree close to your garden. Vegetables will not grow close to them. Blessings on you and your wife as you build your home. You are both quite skilled and young enough to accomplish a wonderful homestead. ☺
Can you share the price?
It looks amazing! And it's really a joy to follow along, as you're building your home in the Swedish forest. Thank you for letting us ☺
How would you find out if a forest will be cut around the house?
You can, if you know how owns the land and if they remember to tell you. We know people who came home one day and the forest was gone because it was decided it was time. And there is nothing you can do about it, because it's just somebody else's property.
I personally love the old wood features, I don't really understand why you took those all out and stripped it of so much character (maybe I'm missing something?)
A lot of the "wood" features in the kitchen were fake and made out of some sort of vinyl. All the cabinets were broken and ceiling had to go, because it was only about 2 meters high and we were going to live there and not use it as a summerhouse. So we needed some more space.
Erg mooi dat je met de berkenstammetjes zo'n mooi hek kan maken. Goedkoop en veel mooier! (gaas zal wel kostbaar zijn, maar toch)
Bedankt! Vinden wij ook. Het gaas was inderdaad niet heel goedkoop, maar als we daar bovenop ook nog hout hadden moeten kopen was het echt te gek geworden. Ook vinden we dit veel mooier dan hele strakke en rechte balken en palen..
Great job with the garden! Looking nice!💚
Thanks!
...or maybe you will have to fence the whole fruit garden. Trust me, the deer and moose are difficult to keep out 😅. Hugs.
Wow, a white moose! I am Swedish and I have never seen one. Congratulations, it must mean good luck! 🙂By the way, I suspect that it is not only deer that eat your trees but also moose. Maybe you will have to put up a higher fence around the trees and also make the fenced circle wider. But that is just a thought, maybe your fencing is perfect :-).
We think the fence needs to get bigger in the future indeed. For now, the trees are very little again, since they are eaten..
Great progress on the garden - the fencing is great but I expect that the rabbits will find their way through the lower mesh. If it can be afforded, a second mes of chicken wire would be a better barrier for the rabbits - it will be worth it because they are voracious eaters of gardens! I know you'll want to see how things go and I really hope the the garden pays off and you get an abundant harvest! Very good cross bracing at the corner posts of the garden fence too! You may also want to consider - longer term - hedge planting around the outside of the perimeter fence - fruit bearing hedging such as blackthorn. Well done on the progress so far.
You are correct. We have put up an extra mesh on the bottom. Thanks for the tip!
Beautiful garden! 🪴 ❤
Thanks!
mooi hoor. En..ook al wat kunnen oosten??
Zeker! Dit jaar was een test wat zou lukken en wat niet. Sommige dingen gingen zeer goed, zoals de courgettes, sommige dingen helemaal niet. Volgend jaar (nog) beter!
Well done! It's big and beautifully organised!
Thank you!
Proper preparation prevent poor performance. That's a decent size garden. Well done😊
Thanks!
Smart, neither deer nor moose can jump over a two meter high fence. But birds, squirrels, etc. will also be attracted to your "set table" with lots of yum yum. Have fenced off a small area myself. There I also have a small mini-pond with water lilies in a large tub which has attracted wonderful little frogs that have become semi-tame (a little tip).
Yes. One problem solved and another emerges. But, we'll tackle that problem when we get there. We were thinking about a little pond somewhere, but it's also already quite wet in our area, and we don't want a lot of mosquitos. So we're still thinking about that one...
Fantastic job on your garden, very whimsical and pretty much from what you had laying around.
Thanks! We only had to buy some oil, screws and soil up until now!
It looks verk nice! 😊👍💕
Thank you!
What a beautiful garden you have there. I love the fence, too.
Thanks!
no dig
Sometimes. Some of the beds we did do a little digging. It is a test of what method is best or us
I’m really enjoying your channel. Your video style is very nice too. Best.
Thank you very much! Good to have you here!
Where is it in Sweden? And how much did you pay for it? Really like the outlay off the buildings and the big garden 😊
Hi, it is on the line of Oslo and Stockholm. We paid about 1.000.000 SEK.
Are you both ambidextrous 😮
Well, sometimes. Not with writing, then we are both lefties. But when it comes to using tools, yes, we are. Interesting that you noticed!
🎉🎉bravo c est magnifique...j ’adore la couleur vert d eau ? Vert pale 🤩 vous êtes tout les deux de bons bricoleurs
Merci beaucoup!
Oh wow a white moose 🫎 how exciting, your garden is looking amazing 😻
Very exciting indeed! Thanks for the compliment!
Mhmmm… you don’t store firewood in your living room. If the wood gets warmed up all the little crawler will come out. Fire wood can be stored outside, just cover it with a metal sheets or use the barn as firewood storage. It’s a tiny house, it would be a real waste of room.
We only use the inhouse storage for our daily need of wood. The rest is stored in the barn indeed.
Why would take the cabin down?? It‘s still good.
It will be to close to the big house. So, we will move it into the forest for guests.
Dear guys , your tree cages will fail because deer are tall with long necks . The cage must be 6 feet high and about 2 feet out from the tree and the wire should be rigid since they will just lean in and bend the wire down to eat the leaves 😢
Hi! The fences are a least 2 meters high and the wire is quite rigid. Also, the trees were eaten in the winter and therefore really small this year.
Chainsaw master!
Thanks! But not really yet. I'm learning a lot though, with all these fences and trees needing to be cut.
@@buildaway Yes you are and life is ( fortunately) a forever process of learning!

So impressed with everything you two do ! All the animals around the place is amazing - wow, you catch the white moose! 👍💚
Thanks! We love all the animals we see daily!
predictable difficulties with rabbits if you don't dig ! don't you think ?
Funny thing is that, since we put the fences up. They're not coming near our trees or garden. There's more than enough food all around!
You both have done a wonderful job of this renovation.. Well done.
Thanks!
Мої вітання👋🇺🇦 Гарний краєвид, чудове місце для тихого та спокійного життя🤩🥰
Thank you very much!
I love your fence--totally better than some store bought wood or metal fencing! There's something so therapeutic about starting a garden, too!
Thanks! We love it as well! Therapeutic it is! Very relaxing.
Tip! Watch out for the invasive Arion vulgaris, they are voracious and quickly eat plants of all kinds. They have now adapted to our colder climate and are spreading further north in Sweden. They are a great scourge to all growers. Good luck with your crops.
Thanks! For now, we haven't seen ANY snails or slugs. Fingers crossed 🤞.
WOW, totally impressed with all the work and order you are putting into a veggie garden! The animals, although a big nuisance, are amazing and a great thing to have around.
Thanks! The fact that we love all the animals we see here, definitely makes up for the nuisance!
Wow! A bunch of nice animals. So lucky to see the white moose also. Garden looking great already. Love to see more 😊
We definitely felt lucky to see the white moose! Thanks for your message!
Heel gaaf! Hard gewerkt! 🤩
Dank!
I’m loving your channel. I like how calm and relaxing your presentation style is. Just one small point, to make it easier for new comers to watch from the beginning, it would help if your playlist went from 1 at the top, down to the latest, so the ‘play all’ feature can be selected. Thank you!
Thanks for your kind message and the tip! Very helpful!
What an amazing transformation. Super job. Enjoyed every minute of it. Cheers. Look forward to work on the Big House.
Thank you very much!
Wow. So well you did🎊♥️
Thanks! 👍
It looks so cozy. Good job and enjoy your new addition.
Thanks, we are enjoying it!
