Các bạn thật tuyệt vời
You where so much on my mind lately, I looked at the older video's of your van build. I bought a Berlingo1 1/2 year ago because of your traveling with Odie and almost copied your build. Although I dare not make a hole in my roof yet🤭. I want to make some changes in the van but got the blues. Hence I always find your video's the best way to motivate me. I am a pensionado now, and a solo female traveller almost for 50 years, and the luxury of taking my small home from home is lovely.
You'll have a great time with the sweet puppies and spring in the mountains. Smell the air of weather changing.
As a mechanic of 35 years…when you learn something new, it opens doors to new parts of yourself…best way to explain the process 😂…you will find this out by repossessing your drain water and building an ecosystem pond …also trapping rain water can assist in the detoxification process, ciao 👍💪✌️
Welcome back Marina 😆🎉, you've been missed!❤️
Yup I understand what you mean by saying if you learn how something works , you hate doing it less. 😁
Your terracotta looks so cute, can't wait to see it baked.
Congrats on one more adoption, you're a great foster mom. Awwww two adorable puppies are coming!!!?
Please don't let us another 2 months waiting to see them 🙏😂🐾❣️
Good to see you Marina. The pottery was so pretty and it looks like lots of fun making it. You are the queen of crafts, I swear - so talented❣
Love that bird bowl, ❤.
😊❤❤❤❤😊I've been wondering and praying that you're alright, Marina.I always miss your videos. As always, you amaze us all with your caring, free spirit, and your super talents. Much love from Sweet Home Alabama.😊🏡 ❤️❤❤❤😊
You’re so artistically talented it’s amazing! So happy to hear Zuka found a great home. Can’t wait to meet your foster puppies❣️❣️
Hi Marina,
Definitely warm the engine BEFORE draining the oil. There are tools available for extracting threaded bolts, but its likely to need re-threading and an oversize bolt. It was probably over-tightened last time. A little copper ring washer should be used on the bolt, which is tightened just enough to squash the copper and seal it. I recommend you get a local garage to do all this, because the van needs to be raised on a lift to give good access.
RE: kitchen waste 'grey' water. You could safely use it in the garden, but it may smell and attract vermin.
Chapeau Marina! Jerry
Happy to see you, Marina! Spring is just around the corner 🌱 I hope you'll get the water leak fixed soon. I know how annoying that is.
I used to hate writing job applications. Really really hated it. Then I got mad at myself and learned everything about it, how to make everything look good, phrases… everything. Then people came to me to help them with their applications and I had so much fun doing it.
Marina you are absolutely correct about having a bit of knowledge about your own vehicle. Also, speaking for myself now...I am alone like you and have to figure things out sometimes. Once I do, it also relieves a great amount of stress about it, because you know what's causing the problem and now you can fix it, or have it fixed. It can be overwhelming when something goes wrong and our brains tend to over exaggerate issues automatically. This takes the fear away. I hope I made sense. Welcome back. We missed you. ♥️
making your own plates and bowls is so cool. I live in one of the biggest "pottery town" in italy and never learnt anything 😂
Running the engine to heat the oil (in my experience normal before an oil change) may have helped the pump get the oil out by lowering its viscosity -- sounds like the oil pan nut is stripped, not sure how that could have happened -- ? -- if you can get the nut out somehow, you may be able to re-thread the pan and find a new nut -- an annoying problem for sure
Yes! I thought about that when I was half way in 🤦🏻♀️ I think the thread in the plug or hole is "unthreaded" the plan is to temove the oil tank and get the hole rethreaded and install a new plug 🚙
There’s a slight chance you might be able to get vice grips on the sump bolt and pull on it as your unscrewing it & get it out, if it’s just the threads on the bottom of the bolt that’s stripped & the threads in the sump are ok you could be lucky & just replace the bolt? Re threading the actual sump would mean removing the whole sump as you said so there’s 2 ways of sorting that, either get it rethreaded to take the next size bolt or get a helicoil insert fitted to take an OEM bolt, whatever way it’s done it’ll probably be costly removing the sump etc but that’s what it’ll take because you don’t want metal swarf or fragments inside the sump due to the cutting of the threads, sorry for the ramble but I’m a rambling man lol, you can always hammer a wooden peg in it or plug it with clay lol 😝
@eah8101 the sump bolts been over tightened that’s why it’s stripped I’m surprised it’s not been leaking oil, people are ham fisted sometimes & over do things that don’t need to be tightened like lug nuts etc, that’s a tin sump( we call them sump pans), some cars have alloy sumps and they fracture if they’re over tightened leading to whole sump replacement or refurbishment, proper torque settings are the way to go & you don’t even need a manual these days you can just google them 👍
@@mikeyyoyo6464 Assuming it's stripped, yes that (overdoing it, i.e. too many turns when putting the oil pan plug back in) is probably the most likely explanation for how it happened -- normally you just need to snug it up, that's enough -- also the engine really should be run for a few minutes first, this helps mobilize a lot of the dirt so it flows out with the oil
@@eah8101 definitely! I always run my engine for at least 5 minutes before draining the oil it’s a well educated bolt removal to save getting scalded lol I’m old school & don’t wear gloves, also I change my oil every year when my road test is due regardless of what anyone says about mileage intervals etc, it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind, maintenance is key & it’s my property so why should I neglect it, I’m an old nuts & bolts guy I just love a sweet sounding engine 😬👍
Your slab work is amazing and i can't wait to see it fired. You will absolutely love throwing pottery on the wheel once you get the hang of it. Centering is the hardest so you are well on your way. Have fun!!
You such an incredible woman!
The pottery looks absolutely stunning, keep going! Maybe a little tip- when you rolling clay, put a piece of dump fabrics- it prevents clay from drying up, makes easier to remove from the surface and also gives extra texture, depending on the fabrics. Cannot wait to see the pups!
That's a great tip thank you!!
Great Video all around! I had a slight heart attack when you showed the palette after drying 😬
😎 the chicken is adorable 😂 may you have many delightful moments to come with your Upcoming fostering journey!
😂 nearly crashed it
At my age (80) I watch you for entertainment but do wish a lot of what a person can learn is so readily available. I love the fact, although you don't like everything you have to do, you do learn and that helps with independence. This I really like, you are so willing to learn and now have a vast range of knowledge. You occasionally reach out for help which is good because we do need one another.
I think you have carved out a wonderful life for yourself AND you love animals.
Take care, best of luck with future endeavours.
Thank you Judith
You seriously are one of my favourite RUclipsrs Marina (for many years now). So kind and down to earth and talented and intelligent. Love from Australia 🩷
♥️♥️♥️♥️ makes my day
So pleased for Zucca, hope it was a gentle transition for him and for you 🐾
Would it help to dig an inspection pit to make it easier to get under your van ? The danger would be the sides collapsing so just a shallow one 1ft deep with 45° sides and as wide as possible, so you have a little more room to move. Drainage to stop it becoming a pond. Lay a big sheet of plastic in it when you need to use it to make it easy to get in and wiggle around.
Good idea on the water filtration 👍
oh boy it would definitely help! not sure I'm so committed to mechanical work to dig that though 😂
Omg! I love, love, love all your art pieces in this video! That berry bowl is so adorable and the bird bowl is stunning! I think you should keep that one inside for yourself and one day make a bigger one for the birds 😉.
And that chicken!!!! So darn cute! That’s a lucky baby who gets that for a gift. 🥰
Thank you so much (as always) for sharing a slice of life with us ❤
I agree, the birds ain't getting that bowl
I missed you! So happy to see you back! Glad to see you’re not sad anymore. Best wishes getting your water problem fixed.
2 pups, you'll enjoy watching them play. 🙂
I appreciate you and your honesty about difficulty tackling chores that elicit fear in us!
OMG I just love, love, love, watching you and your fantastic ideas. Your heart must be pure gold and I am glad you share your life with us.
Bet your Dad is very proud of you.
I really love how you'll always try and fix things yourself. You remind me so much of me when I was young ❤
0:07 sublime intro!!! ❤
YES!!😍
Great to see you 😊, ugh mechanics is even less attractive in the cold weather brrr..glad you managed to get it done.
Haha Mrs chuck looks brilliant, you should call her Happy feet, because you have been taking her outside to make in the small amount of sun you've gotten, and it's your happy time in nature, enjoying the daylight & fresh air 😀.
You are a special person to keep giving those fur babies a wonderful halfway home to save them from going into kennels while awaiting a forever home.
You literally dent your heart to give love & light to those precious pooches.
❤.
You will definitely be meeting yourself coming back with 8 little paws 😂 Bless you..
It's a year today since I lost my baby boy 😢 my heart is still raw.
Take care and looking forward to seeing those 🐕🐕🐾🐾🐾🐾.
Sending you lots of love ❤❤❤ Thank you for such kind words!
I do make the same at home : waiting for issues to fix themselves ! But even if they don't fix themselves, it gives you time to think about it and be creative, find alternatives and new solutions.
The crochet chicken is cute ! (As your jewelery ❤)
I really love how you will have a go at anything, even if it's hard ❤
I forgot to mention that the sealant you used around the faulty drain bolt won't hold back hot engine oil for very long. So do keep an eye out for drips and check the dip stick before any significant journeys. Jerry
i had to learn how to change my headlight.. terrified to do it! and fix the rust spots on my car that was more fun
Puppies! Watch your shoes. Puppies love chewing shoes.
What you say about hating a task you don’t know how to do is so true. Two years ago I told people that I won’t do drywall or painting. Now that’s a huge part of what I do.
Your bird bath is adorable as is the colander. Can’t wait to see them finished.
Regarding the grey water treatment plan, look into building a little wetland ecosystem to cleanse the water. I read a book years ago about a couple in Texas (I think) who built a little wetlands and pond to treat their grey water system and it apparently worked brilliantly. Even the local ducks approved of the water in the pond after it filtered through the wetlands. I believe they used cattails and some other wetland plants. I wish I could remember the book.
Great tip! I love cattails!
Good to see you again! I love seeing you busy and being creative. Makes me feel that I can do stuff too 😊 Sometimes it even gets me going😅
I fostered a lot of kittens for a few years. Some were really hard to let go, but the thought that you can open your house to new kitties that needed care more kept me from keeping them all. Can't wait to see how you will get along with 2 puppies!🥰
Hi Marina, amazing l had been thinking of you, and there you are, never underestimate the power of thought. Im so glad you are ok. As the video began l thought wheres Luca.lm so happy he has his forever home, and glad he had part of his life with you. Your pots are delightful, cant wait to see the next lot fired. Haha bring on those puppers, that should be fun. Thank you for sharing a wee bit of your life, its always so interesting and inspiring. Much love ......Alioban ❤
Very much missed you.
Look up reed beds and sand filtration, similar to a septic tank leech field.
Definitely missed you.
Will do thank you!!
Good luck with the puppies ! Hope the leak got fixed ok xx
You are so meticulously talented
..congrats.
such a creative soul you are ❤ 👌
Gorgeous pottery and cute baby gift
Love seeing a video from you! ❤ it's so true that our brain converts not knowing into not liking 😮
Reeds (plants) can clean water.
Good to see you back, Marina. and doing various things. So much talent :)
I have missed you! Can't wait for puppy updates!
Marina! I'm so glad you are back! I really haven't been watching YT so it's been a while since I've watched you, but it looks like you took a break, too! I took about a six month break myself. Sometimes you just need to, you know? Hope you are well! Looks like spring 💐is upon you! 🥰 I love all your little pottery pieces! I've been trying to do a different type of craft every month. I'm currently trying to learn how to use water colors correctly. I love your paint tray idea! Good luck with the plant and fish garden! I wish I could give you some tips, but I don't know much about that stuff. 🙃 Looking forward to your new adventures at home and out on the road! 🤩
When you’re building anything large with clay and with joints make sure you wrap them up and dry them slowly, sometimes it may take a few weeks! other thing that might cause a piece to break apart in kiln if the clay wasn’t wedged enough to get all the air pockets out. 😻
Thank you!!! there is SO much to learn!
I cannot wait to see your completed pottery and meet the new puppies. It's always fun to see what you're up to !
You're so creative and talented for your years, it's quite amazing really. Before long we'll be looking at your beautiful gardens again and that is always a pleasant example for all of us who have a garden 🍃🌱. Love and Blessings from the Arizona desert. 💜
the bowls are soooooo cute!! i loved the one for crochet and knitting
That chicken is so pretty/I love it!
The chicken is sooooo adorable!❤
I just saw your new foster puppies...they're not what I thought. Those are big babies! Sweet! Can't wait to meet them in a video =)
They are big puppies 😂
So true Marina ! As soon as my sister and I got our first car, my brother (a keen mechanic) taught us how to change a wheel, brake pads and oil. And every Christmas and birthday, he gave us tools to do it. And when a mechanic thinks I'm ignorant, I can tell him off! It's so rewarding to know how things work.
That's such a fantastic gift! Both the tools and the gift of knowledge
I love your pottery designs! Makes me want to take pottery class. Thank you Marina ❤
Lovely to see you back - i definately have a hibernate winter mode too - looking forward to seeing your bulbs in flower!
it is a delight to watch your videos...
Hi Marina, its very nice to see another video from you : ) With you doing lots of different crafts and practical things i was wondering if you paint pictures as well. If so could you show us some of your paintings and maybe do a video on you doing some. Hope your house is warmer than it was last winter , best wishes from North East England
In Southern Africa we surround a soak away pit with banana trees. Then put all vegetable waste in the pit. The trees filter the water and the waste makes excellent compost. I guess bananas won’t do well in your climate, they need much warmer weather.
Missed your videos Welcome Back ❤
Reed beds are very efficient at cleaning water. You could look into those, although they may not be possible. Good luck and thanks for another great video
I love all the pottery you’re making especially the yarn bowl and the container for teas! I hope to try pottery when I’m no longer living in my campervan. 😊 In the meantime I’m just learning crochet but I almost gave up because I couldn’t figure it out - I was so angry with it and had to pull it out at least 20 times! Finally it made sense and I am now a third of the way to making my first string of bunting. 🎉
Ahh I get you, it's so frustrating at the start! Especially when they say things like "insert the hook in the next v shaped stich" and hour like "THEY ALL LOOK LIKE V TO ME"
There you are, good to see you. 😊
happy new year marina and gang...may 2024 be a peaceful productive year xxxxx n
PS...the oil was COLD and THICK,,,so poor little pump did a not bad job...lol
Mi piacciono i tuoi video! mi incoraggi a fare cose nuove!!!
Thank you Marina, we have missed you. And you are so right about making yourself do things to really learn how things work. Happy New Year from the Isle of Man.
Happy New Year to you too Tim!
Congratulations to Zuka! 🤗 His cheerful goofy ways will be missed here, too!
🤗² Glad to see you only have a minor water issue there, when seeing the amount of rain that hit northern Italy, I got a little worried for you.
With the oil it might have been helpful to let the engine run a bit to warm it up. On a day as cold as it obviously was, the oil must have been thick and viscous like honey! It sounds like you should get prepared to pay a new sump for the little van (Febi-Bilstein seem to make them for a reasonable price, I bet you will also have a good chance of finding one in a scrapyard). It's very unusual to not be able to get the screw out and still have no oil leak. I think there may be a threaded insert in the sump that came lose. Taking it off and trying to drill out the old screw will be the first thing to attempt. Maybe the original part can be spared. A new plug would cost next to nothing. Hopefully that will do the trick! As the sump is steel sheet and a potential threaded insert would be, too, a spot of weld may help to keep it in place and working. But that's a bridge to cross when you get there. ☺
Oh, and I have no actual knowledge of what plants will be good for breaking down any substances in waste water ponds, I just learnt that in northern Germany, they had reeds growing around their sewage ponds which apparently even neutralised the smell of poop. That may be a starting point for researching the matter.
Anyhoo: Glad to hear from you again! 🤩🤗
Thank you for all those precious info about the oil tank, really helpful! Hopefully i can get it fixed soon enough
@@WildSheGoes It looks like it will be okay until the weather gets warm again. When you get at the problem then, you'll have two eager helpers removing all sweat from your face the second it breaks! 😄
Reed beds are used effectively in filtering waste water, look up earth ships homes for information 👍
Nice! I have been waiting for a mew video, thanks for the post! 😊
Hi Marina, I like that you take the trouble to learn how to do the maintenance on your vehicles. A suggestion. Doing a job the first time is always the hardest. When you do it a second time it is much easier. Third time... easy like a walk in the park. So why not continue to do the routine maintenance on the car and bike? The longer you keep a vehicle, the easier it gets. And if you do it yourself you know it is done well. Also, maybe the car/bike feels the love and responds better!
I agree, that's what I'm trying to do although I do find it very frustrating!
Your industriousness and creativity always amazes me. Happy new year and rabbits!🐇🐓and cool chicken.
Looking forward to see the puppies that you're going to foster 😊.
Always amazing!
Gosh darn-it you're cute and adorable! And inspiring! Keep it up! You are headed towards good things!
Love all your creations!!!! 🤩 Hope the leak is not too bad to fix 🤞🏼
Ooft! It’s happened again! The video finished & I realised I have a big stupid involuntary grin on my face 🙈😂, puppies!! You won’t be able to part with puppies it’ll be too much surely? I need to lie down with a brown paper bag lol
😂🐕😂
You’re so creative and handy! ❤
Just getting caught up, I love your pottery, the berry bowl is going to be so pretty and I bet you'll use it lots in summer! I look forward to 'meeting' your new fosters, I hope you're settling in well to puppy life, I bet they're keeping you busy! Good luck sorting out the leak, I hope it's not too complicated or expensive to fix.
Thank you 🥰
I love the gift you’re making for your pregnant friend. I’m not gonna say what it is.
I have done pottery for a long time now. Your handpieces are beautiful. Give yourself time on the wheel, you will either feel it or you won’t. That’s what one of my teachers told me. I was lucky enough to feel it. He said have fun with your clay. I really enjoyed this video very much and I look forward to watching your other videos. I will probably find out where you live as I keep watching. Thank you for letting us peek into your world. Kathy.
Thank you Kathy 🤗
Like a prescindere subito!! ❤Finisco di guardarlo stasera
Good Evening Marina. Long time no see! Hope you had a wonderful festive time and a Great New Year...Apart from water leaks and dreaded oil changes!! Your pottery works look fantastic, can't wait to see the finished product. Some baby is going to be very clucking happy with their new toy...looks brilliant. Roll on the spring to see the fruits of your labour bear its fruit or petals should I say! Until next time, health@happiness to you.
You are great! You give me power to do some things at my house which I realy don`t like.
Yaayy😊😂, use bin missed 🙋♂️🙋♂️🍻
Another great video! 🥰 So happy to hear your sweet foster has a wonderful home!
It’s end of January, and here in New Mexico, it feels more like late March.
Es un placer volver a verte en un video inspirado. ❤🔥
I love watching your videos Marina, they always make me feel happy and calm. Thank you for sharing snippets of your life with us, its very good to see you 🙂I'm always amazed by your ability to come up with creative projects and always wanted to learn how to make pottery myself, maybe that's my sign now😀 Have fun with the two forster puppies, I'm very excited to see them in the next vid (and the finished ceramic pieces). ❤
Great video! I always enjoyed it. There is a great book called, creating an oasis with grey water. I think that would be very helpful to you. Good luck.
Happy New Year Marina. I think it is so important to "move" your brain learn new things that way you keep healthy. Loved the potteries. I use to do them when I lived in the big city. So looking forward to two puppy. 🎉🎉🎉🫂🫂🫂 keep warm. 🦘🐨
The clay work is stunning!!
❤️🐾⭐️❤️🐾⭐️❤️🐾⭐️❤️🐾⭐️
Thank you Marina, I really needed that video. Glad to see you're doing well. Glad to hear your fostering 2 puppies. I lost my 17 yr old Golden Retriever, Rusty, in the fall. It broke my heart. Ive told myself I'll never get another dog, he was a big part of our family for all those years, but you never know. Loved your video! ❤❤
Sending you a warm hug, it's so hard when they leave us!!!
@@WildSheGoes thank you! ❤️
You are so extraordinary and excellent at what you do!!! The views around you are awesome 👍 God bless you!!!💖💝💋👍
Interesting thoughts about how we think about what we don't want to do because we are uncertain about how we can do it or whether we can do it. Thanks.
Two puppies???? Hahah I can’t wait
Arrgh the old night time mechanics, been there too 😅
😂
Bord bowl looks awesome! Can't wait to see it finished.
For your Sump Plug (oil drain screw) you need to find a garage that can do a "Helicoil" repair on it. You'll find a video showing how it's done. If that doesn't work, ie you cant get the old one out, you can either get the sump plug fully welded and continue to do your oil changes through the top, or get the sump pan replaced. Hope that helps 😊
Thank you thank you! I was thinking of removing the old oil tank and see what can be done but it might just be worth putting a new one due to rust
You'll be welding next Marina!
@@WildSheGoesif it has lots of rust on it then you are probably best replacing it. It's usually not a difficult job. They're held in place will small bolts and so long as there is no vehicle structure underneath it to get in the way. You need to drop them down a bit to clear the pipe inside that picks up the oil to cycle it through the engine. Sometimes they are stuck on too with silicon and need a razor blade run round them to split that but, you'll be able to see if there is silicon in the joint. Otherwise they have a rubber/paper/Cork gasket to seal it to the engine.
I'm sure you'll manage to change it 😊
After my last comment I got to wondering why there was no oil dripping from the drain plug. A threaded bolt would leak. I think the grommet into which the bolt fits must be like a rivet with a threaded centre hole. It is pressed into the sump after the sump has been pressed into shape. This would mean that severely over tightening the drain bolt might force the grommet to twist in the sump. But it might still be a tight-enough fit to stop oil leaking. This all means that it should be possible to drill out the grommet without enlarging its hole in the sump. With the sump off the vehicle, a new grommet could be inserted and hey presto! This could be the cheapest option. Of course, even simpler would be to simply fit a new drain grommet alongside the faulty one! I could be completely wrong about all this, in which case your mechanic will give you a funny look😂 Still, I hope this helps your understanding. It may be that a whole new sump (or secondhand from a scrap yard) is the easiest route. Jerry
Thank you Jerry this all makes sense and is precious info!!
PUPPIES!!!
OMG, two puppies after Zucca.... all hell is going to break lose! p.s Just wait your turn for summer, it's not finished here yet!
Love your videos and the pottery! Free tips if you need😊hope papa can fix the leak💪🏼I wanted to get another jewelry piece but it was sold out, sea glass ring, making more?❤ great talents dear💐
Hi! Yes I will be making more rings. I also make custom ones (your size, you choose the glass). You can reach me directly on Etsy ❤
