Massive Front Yard CLEAN UP of abandoned 1908 farm / Satisfying TIMELAPSE PART 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 мар 2021
- This time we spent almost 2 months to clean up the second part of the front yard. It was not easy at all, the whole yard was covered with mud, roots, branches, leaves… Nature definitely took advantage of the farm left abandoned for 10 years. But we managed it and very happy with the result. It is not yet finished-finished, but I can’t stop smiling when I see what we achieved so far. Episode #13. Enjoy! Be our guest, enjoy this video and don't forget to subscribe! :-)

As a professional paver this really warms my heart. I much too often get jobs like these where people just give up and orders it all to get digged away and replaced with concrete tiles :'( as much as I love the look of a new driveway made by our company - as much would I love to see the old guys' job get some well deserved love :)
what and amazing job this is! GOOD WORK!! Hats off from me and the guys that are watching the video after work in the office ;)
It is joyous that this old home has found a young family to bring it back to life and to provide warmth to another generation.
Whomever cobbled that driveway was a master. The bricks are still almost perfectly level even after over 100 years.
I was so surprised at the amount of cobblestone driveway there was. It had so much plant matter covering it. Good job.
@@LordSignur there always has to be one negative Nellie in the crowd. Congratulations.
@@LordSignur 🙄
@@LordSignur Clearly a real shortage of fertile soil around their house too... Go live in a tree ya bum.
Deserts contain millions of species thriving of its minimal resources.
Every part of this planet is full of life.
Not cobblestones, kasseien,(kinderkopjes) Belgian hardstone cut out of rocks.
work was approved by the supervisor Mr. Cat :)
That mailbox!!! OMG, I’m in love. The whole property is stunning.
Ur in love...with a mailbox?
That was a lot of hard work but what a transformation. I never would have guessed at those stones being under there. The sunlight really brings out the colour - it’s beautiful!
Thank you, Ian! Idd, the evening lights are changing the perception of the front yard so much, I love it a lot.
And now everyone will think you have loads of money, but in reality you’v worked hard to get what you have & made it into more than what it was. Funny how many people can’t understand that concept.
Great work family👍🏼❤️
So keep the fence posts and plant your shrubs between them, keep as much of the original past as you can. Love all the cobblestone you uncovered. Just think, this property survived two world wars. - I miss Belgium.
Oh, I agree. It would be a shame to take out those fence posts.
Yes please leave the fence posts! They are a stunning historical part of the charm of the home! Low bushes in between would be lovely!
I agree! Don't remove the fence posts!
@@lauraparsons4584 where will you tie the horses up?
Alternating fruit and flower shrubs would not only be stunning, it can make an effective live boarder for the property. Holly, Hawthorn, blackberry, and roses are all delicious, pretty easy to grow, and have thorns that are wickedly sharp.
What a find under all the debris! Love the cobblestone patio!
WOW.. what a find.. a whole big area with cobblestones... looks fabulous after your hard work... Best wishes from Australia.. Cheers.
I bet the cat thought it was a lot more interesting before! May your family feel safe and secure in this beautiful house. Greetings from Berlin
Thank you very much!
He still has plenty of space for joyful amusements 😂
The cat is helping a lot!
And the kid is glued to his screen.
Is the son autistic? Looked like he had to have his shoes tied at the beginning of the video. If not you need to have his ass working and learning what you are doing and trying to accomplish. Screw that video game.
A catepilar would 😁✊
There's a cat?
All the stuff you scraped up will make some great compost.
Or filler for low spots in the lawn/yard!
It took you as long as it did because you also had other responsibilities. You are deliberate, you take care of not getting injured, this is the correct way to do things. I commend you. Thank you for sharing.
Who would have known those beautiful cobblestones were under all that dirt and overgrowth. It is just stunning!!! The original owners must have been wealthy. You have bought a gem!
Thank you, Sammy 😊 the fence was added later, originally the house had the fence out of green bushes. So removing this one (rather shabby) and planting bushes we are going back to the very origins :-) But we are still thinking of keeping the posts and plant in between.
@@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm well that makes sence. LOL I like the idea of keeping the posts to sort of brak up the bushes. I renovated a cottage back in my youth even putting on a new roof. It is work for the young not a old woman like me now.
Wow...never imagined it would look so beautiful. That’s a lot of effort and justly rewarded.
Wow, how lucky you are to have found all those cobbles, back breaking work clearing all that. Love the old postbox.. So cute.
wow what a beautiful story your sharing thanks joe from California USA
Wow! Just amazing to see all that cobblestone appearing after decades of being hidden under dirt, well done!
You both did an amazing job cleaning up, it looks wonderful. Look forward to watching your new home transform to a beautiful dream home for you and your family.
Gorgeous find under the mud. Property looks like it can breathe! Stunning cobble stones
You have a beautiful home and grounds. The cobblestone shows the house off. Looking forward to watching the property blossom.
A diamond in the rough, transforming into a gem, well done, but OH my back and legs!!!
You two are amazing 👏
At 70 I can handle a couple hours of gardening each day. That was my reason for starting a channel. Work smarter not harder! But you are probably 30 and full of energy. Now is your time to build your dream house. I'm enjoying just watching 👩🌾👍🌿
Who doesn't love a good cleanup! So satisfying to watch
I did a happy dance when the last tree stump was pulled, so rewarding for you. I live in Nebraska USA the heart of farming,, working your property is amazing. Congratulations you are taking one step at a time to eternal peace. Pride is earned, not given.
Many thanks, Diana, for a happy dance :-) I am so glad you enjoyed the video!
Very nice words about pride, and so true.
What a transformation! Beautiful video, thank you.
Wow all of your hard work really paid off. Who would have ever guessed that all of the cobble stone was under all of the growth. Incredible!!!
Wow, could not imagine the cobblestones were under there. Amazing work. I bet a pressure washer would really transform them, and the house as well. :D
Thank you for letting us be a part of this milestone in your lives.
simply amazing watching all that beautiful old stonework being unearthed after decades of neglect. such an astounding transformation, thanks for sharing this!
Warm and sunny? Good thing you didn't wait for my definition of warm and sunny! Great job, beautiful farm!
Love how the child must go to each adult- first for the shoe tying, the jacket adjust, and on to each! Such a nice video!
And then spend the rest of the time playing on a phone??
The house is screaming - THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE!
What beautiful job you did! You’ve uncovered a diamond in the rough.
I think you were smart to do it at a speed that kept you from hurting yourself. It will look great in the end.
Breathing renewed life back into a beautiful building and garden. I look forward to watching with interest.
Cherish it, the times with your family will be precious memories, the feeling of accomplishment will give you a glow whenever you see your front yard, congratulations.
on first sight, the brick the style etc this just screamed Flanders to me.
it's always good to see the beautiful countryside houses we have here being restored
I can imagine driving through the shed in BF1 with a landship
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼.....
The work was amazing, but I must admit the MVP of the video was this adorable cat. :)
I am now addicted to this channel. I can’t wait to see the house completed. It’s beautiful.
That is amazing and speaks of the quality of the stones that were laid so long ago. A good foundation to build on !!
Ленивыми Вас не назовёшь, теперь это большая редкость. Мои поздравления! Желаю долгой счастливой жизни в этом чудесном доме!
Wow - now you know every stone by name and number - must be a project of love - please keep on
Hard work, but worth it. Very nice job. Bruce ..........Dallas, Texas USA
This, is a family. Everyone should know what hard work feels like.
Except the kid that played games on his phone the whole video.
I dunno... seems like the kid got a free ride like no other! As well as the cat!
i admire you dedication and the respel way you treat nature and all plants, wonderful to see the transformation
The person who laid all those cobblestones by hand will be looking down on you and saying thank you for making it look like it was,😘🏴
It’s nice to see people reclaim yesterday’s beautiful past.😃I think you should keep it as original as possible. Keep the fence the way it was - this historic.
Beautiful home in a wonderful setting. Outstanding and a job well done!
Thank you, Hector!
What a wonderful find under the soil. A lot of hard work but very satisfying xxx
Those cobblestones are a treasure from the past 👍🏼
Beautiful natural cobblestones instead of industrial boring concrete titles. Good job and respect for your initiative and work!
That is absolutely wonderfull, such hard working people.
A monumental amount of work with a spectacular outcome.... I can imagine the final product will be just as lovely as the home itself. Well done!
This place is awesome! You have found a jewel there.
Absolutely perfect job. Very nice farmhouse. I love it.
Love the cobbles.
What caught my eye was the kid who looked to be playing on a Switch while parents were working hard. 🤔
So?
Kid should be helping..
The kid helped many times, so it's okay that they gave him free time. Also, not every situation is suited for a little kid that doesn't even know how dangerous for example a little nail is.
Kid is NOT that little, and kids younger then that have worked on farms since God knows when, that's like saying you don't give a kid chores.. hell no...kids need structure.. not saying work him super hard but should have been helping more
@@lordwolve the kid did help and it's still a kid that has moments of silliness. The parents did a great job, better than parents who force their kids to work. Just because something has always been a specific way doesn't mean it'll work out for everyone. Kudos to the parents who look after their kid's needs.
Such potential for a picturesque home 🌸
I really enjoyed the old cobble stone revealed. I also enjoyed seeing the sun move through the shadows in the time-lapse portion of the video. Thank you!
Those cobblestone are fantastic and I am so glad you left them there. They really are wonderful!
Transformed with some weeks of hard work - well done...quite remarkable
You are amazing motivation person who has been to come up with family take care of yourself and wealth of life always goodluck God bless you all 🙏👍 I wish to leave this type of life always very peaceful place
Congratulations on a beautiful clean up. It must be more rewarding to do it yourself.
You indicated your slow pace was why it took two months to clean up. In the American military, we have a motto: “Slow is smooth; smooth is fast.” It implies fewer mistakes, repeated or duplicate processes. I’m amazed by the amount of work y’all accomplished.
Fabulous job, as usual. It's really starting to look like a home.
That property is an absolute gem!
How fortunate to have the cobblestone drive!
Your family worked your tails off, but what a beautiful difference! God bless you all!
I look forward to more videos!
Finally, there are a home. Amazing just by simple usual equipment.👍
Молодцы, вы работяги, пусть трудности вас боятся !👍👍👍
Marvelous paving, good that you restored it. Nice home.
Absolutely amazing! Who would have known that those beautiful cobblestones were underneath all that! 👍🥰
Wow you just brought the value of that place way up. Great video
this hurts my back just watching, it would take me so long to get it done that where I started would be covered over again.
LOL 😂
😂😂😂
Your incredible, great job, love the cobble stone, amazing
thats crazy!!! what a difference 😲 you guys are amazing 💪💪💪
It's hard going clearing all the brick paths when it's got years of soul and weeds intertwined, it looks amazing, well done to you both. 🌺💮🌸🌺💮🌸🌺
Great job and beautiful yard. One little secret - while using this saw just press down on a log, until the stopper rests on it. So this prevents you from holding the saw in the canopy and makes the process much easier.
Isn't it amazing that all of the cobble stone was buried for all of those years. We're you surprised to find this?
Nice timelapse especially with the cat and also the day with the shadows wandering
What a transformation. You all did a fantastic job. My wife and I really miss Europe. We retired and settled down in New Caney, TX doing doberman pinscher rescue. We loved living in Germany. I really miss it. It looks so good doing the restoration. I just can't believe the difference. Like you said, a lot of work, but very satisfying.
I have an old house and a huge garden, when I moved here I was 52 and loved working in the garden.now at 75 I am finding the garden too much for me.
It s beautiful that at 75 you use RUclips and love your garden
Beautiful cobblestone yard, a classic also here in Denmark, on old farms.
Good luck to your family, in the future.
The men who originally layed the cobblestone, long dead I’m sure, would love that you enjoy them.
That cobblestone is amazing!
Imagine what a pressure washer would do to the wood and brickwork of the house.
Especially the wood.
Enjoyed that.
unfortunately, with it being that old, its more like to damage the bricks and strip out the remaining pointing than make it look better >
@@aeilahpi1207 The wood would look awesome especially with a bit of boiled linseed oil and the pointing gets redone with a large cake icing bag/nozzle and lime mortar.
It'll look so nice. Lime mortar dries white.
Edit, the brickwork would be much better if it was dustless sandblasting (water and sand mix)
@@pikethree thats not concrete between the joints. its kinda mud - sandblasting will rinse and destroy it forever.
Hello from Philadelphia, PA in USA. I'm so excited that I have found your channel. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and love seeing how you restore your beautiful old house, grounds and courtyard. Would this be considered a typical farm house? The courtyard looks like a lovely spot to enjoy a dinner in the early evening. Thank you for sharing the journey.
Hi Ann and welcome :-) yes, I would say a typical Belgian farm with a barn attached to it. And it’s our “love at first sight” - both because of the farm itself and its position.
Happy you enjoyed the video, have a nice day ahead!
Such a beautiful home, and so satisfying to see the hard work pay off!
I'm a single mum of. 3 IV transferred my garden from weeds n little grass from broken gates to fences to a patio gravel and artificial grass took a long time and lots of money and still needs more work but I'm inlove with my new garden 😁
Great work. Don't be so hard on yourself if you still think you are all going slow on this project. It is hard work!
Great job and Nice to see yr dreamhouse becoming reality 😄🤛✌️
You all did an amazing job. The cobblestones look beautiful and really suit the house. A lovely home - thanks for sharing.
Wow... just wow! All those beautifull cobblestones, I did not expect that. What an amazing transformation.😊🤩🥰
I wish you the very best with your venture.
Респект!Такую красоту откопали.Брусчатка супер.
Впечатляет, что замощена вся площадка рядом с домом вплоть до сарая. У нас (В Беларуси) подобное было роскошью, и то в западной части страны.
Great job clearing all the dirt off the cobblestones. Love that wheel barrow.. so shiny and cute with the yellow tire. Best of luck restoring the rest of the house.
Absolutely amazing that all that cobblestone was under there!!!!
