You have done a wonderful job on your kitchen at a very minimal cost - well done! I’ve been lucky to find like minded people to share or gift things too. Be it building materials, household goods, or even produce. It’s a wonderful feeling! You have treasures stored away that you may need one day. I took down one of my old raised beds - the wood was starting to rot. A friend is picking the wood up to use in his shop wood burning stove during the winter. I gifted butter milk to another friend and he in turn gave me a jar of homemade apple sauce - sharing is a wonderful thing! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas every week!
Thank you. It is such a heart warming thing to be able to help others without the use of money! Each gift or trade seems so much more special this way I think.
great achievment! You are right - most things are possible if you put your mind to it!! Having bits and pieces - and lovely bits of wood etc - is great when you need to build sometning; Ikeep these sort of things but have to be discerning or end up in a clutter!! Love your lifestyle - at 71 I am selling my house to find something small and simple - but must have a garden; I love building things - so satisfying. MMM - yes - the picture is out of date ! 😂 Blessings x
You had us in suspense 'what's in the box!'😂 I think you should be proud, your hard work has paid off. I feel it's much better use of your space and easier, its fab! Just right for making videos in the short winter nights for cooking with Kev!
I used to struggle to accept things from people then taught myself to not say 'no' and started getting some really useful stuff. Now that I have become mobile I've had to go back to politely say no again. It's surprising what people think I need, smart clothes, fashionable shoes other such things that just can't fit into my lifestyle. The video was unwatchable for me on my phone but I could listen to the audio so didn't losel any of the post.
Hello! I only accept items or the ones I find if I can use them immediately. Otherwise they will not only take up space but annoy the hell out of me staring me in the face 24/7. I'm sure you will do what is best for you Kevin! Just don't let it become a hoarder's paradise of needless things.😃 Nice kitchen setup ... when are you going to bake us an apple pie? 😆
When you try & live more simple it's amazing how much tat you get . that you think will make life a bit simpler than you end up with more work lol . Have fun dude love out 😜🇬🇧

Hi I agree that you should try and save as much as you can to keep a check on expenses. It is difficult for us watching you to really understand what you value and what is not of importance to you. This is your individual, unique life. Just take it slow and enjoy the process. If in doubt, don't, take time to re-plan your ideas. There is no rush. Take care of yourself
Well done.Progress on the cheap .Repurposing makes sense for all of us.
Thank you. I genuinely enjoy making use of what others think is junk!
@@themanofthewoods You are a real modern day Womble.

Haha! But yes the ability to be able to do more cooking etc is exciting for me. Watch this space.
Love your kitchen, you should be very proud and pleased. I’d be chuffed to bits if I’d achieved that.
Thank you! 😊 I actually am quite proud of it.

Wow ! You’ve got a new fridge freezer ? I would never have guessed 😂 We delivered six today including a big American one to a 1st floor flat ☹️.

I sometimes just listen to video's aswell. once i kind of know the channel i am watching i can often just listen like it is a telephone call as such.
best way to do things
Thank you.

You have given me an idea for a coffee with kev episode about values etc. Thank you.
Take it easy and don't stress. Freebies are always welcome, and of course money saving as well as recycling. Take care and stay well.
