  • Our front garden is a disaster and soon we need to install a heat pump in this location. So it's time to reach for the digging and gardening tools for a mini makeover project with less talk and more work.

    You are a hard working couple. Your answers about your work on your home and land were perfect. People sometimes make judgements without the circumstances fully know. Sad that people can be so judgmental and ignorant. Enjoy watching and learning from your videos.

    Excellent video! I have been following you two for about 2 years now and am really excited by all the projects you do. Love the tutorials on lime, lentils, and stonework! Really enjoyed this video about the small garden in front! Do you two have any plans to pressure wash the house's exterior stone walls and the entrance and re-painting? Just love the steps up to the second floor and the concrete arbor and would love to see a video on those!

    • @MAKEDOGROW
      @MAKEDOGROW  Год назад +2

      The exterior of the house needs a lot more work than just a pressure wash and paint unfortunately.
      We need to:
      1. chip away all the cement render (seems to have been used for a lot of patch work),
      2. when we install windows/doors we're going to have to rebuilt parts of the exterior wall
      2. when we replace the roof we suspect there'll also be some rebuilding to do in a couple of the corners
      So, once we've done all the above we'll then do another coat of render on the entire house, and finally paint :)
      For the staircase we also want to remove all the cement render, remove the bannister/railing (because it's built with cheap red brick rather than stone) and put in a new railing. We'll probably point the staircase rather than render, but that depends on how the stone looks once we remove the render.
      Much work to do :)
      We talk a little about the concrete arbours here: ruclips.net/video/-w2CqYjj8W8/видео.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE

    Loved this! When you were shoveling the stone over the wall from the truck in both videos, I kept thinking, I wonder if they could’ve put some sort of board across and filled/dumped buckets of the stone.
    Being an avid gardener, I also enjoy fixing issues first, placing the hardscapes, then enjoying purposefully planning the landscape!
    Great work! Loved this transformation!

    Although I understand your reasons for clearing the area, my gardener‘s heart hurt with every snip. But then I love roses and could see a nice rose arch as an „entrance“ to the vegetable garden.

      @@LaReynedEpee Yes, and perennials even want to be divided and transplanted. And roses sometimes grow from below the graft on their original, unwanted rootstock. And the area is going to be used for much needed infrastructure. And it still hurt.

      @@LCamp-cr7fs To me, that area looked a mess. The plants were sickly and confined to narrow beds in among a lot of concrete in a dank corner, possibly without air circulation, which as you'll know is bad for roses. If left I doubt they would have thrived. Better relocated to where they have room, sun, better earth.

      @@LaReynedEpee It certainly looked a mess. Like I said, I understand the logic of the clearing. I am certain that Guy and Kylie thought about this step since they try to reuse and improve rather than tearing down. They certainly don’t work against Mother Nature unless necessary. But I have seen too many incidents where indiscriminate clearing was undertaken and replaced with English lawns here in the US. All I said was that it made me sad which was the first time since I subscribed early on.

      I reserve judgement until I see the size of the heat pump unit. But it did make me sad to see this corner ruthlessly denuded. Poor roses and other perennials! They did save the dahlias. I hope they find a microclimate on the property where these tubers can survive during winter frosts.

    • @MAKEDOGROW
      @MAKEDOGROW  Год назад +7

      Why would you go and plant a load of greenery when you don’t know yet where the heat pump is going … or for that matter when you know scaffolding has to be erected to replace the roof, render the outside and do repair work to the stairs. That would just be a waste of effort!
