May I just say: you are incredible! Every Sunday, I’m excited for your videos. They calm me and give me a feeling of peace and happiness in a world that I find increasingly frightening and unsettling. Thank you, Rosie!
I love your mum's solution for the brick step at the bottom of your beautiful entryway. You keep saying 'This doesn't look like much...', but you worked on 3 projects major projects, saved frogs, baked a gorgeous pie, and encouraged trees to bear fruit. Really, Rosie, you might want to reconsider your expectations. 😊💕

Hi Rosie. I've learnt so much watching your projects. I'm 78, female, and have a similar selection of tools, although my mitre saw is pretty basic. I even bought a Japanese saw recently after watching you and I love it. I've just completed building a storage unit in an alcove off my front hall. I was just going to make shelves for the big plastic storage boxes I have, but after watching you, decided top have a go at drawers. It took me ages to design and two weeks to make. I used your method to attach the drawer fronts. I'm very pleased with the result, it looks really great and very functional. Next I'm going to make an extending bed, also inspired by yours, but mine will have to extend lengthways, rather than sideways. I also cook in a small oven and I've found I can prevent the top of cakes burning by putting a piece of aluminium foil over the top for most of the bake, and then removing it for for the the last 10-15 minutes to allow the top to brown. Greetings from Australia
How wonderful! You sound so brave and adventurous. I don’t want to sound ageist, but doing all these new things is challenging even for the youngsters. You’re my mum’s age and, though she is extremely fit and able bodied, I can’t imagine her building a storage unit, let alone me (53) doing that. It’s so satisfying to me that Rosie’s videos and life inspires countless people to make things and seek new challenges.
I live on a small Mediterranean island and I recently went to my hardware merchants to buy a Japanese saw and they didn't know what I meant 😮 I'm nearly 68 and just finished designing a garden pergola and am about to make a deck out of recycled wooden pallets
What an excellently creative week you’ve had. Fresh air, homemade food, a new project to plan and work on. Thanks for sharing your good life with us Rosie.
It doesn't matter if it's not 100% perfect or that you might approach things differently than a seasoned builder, the fact that you have so much tenacity to keep going with your vision is inspiring. I love how dedicated you are and your willingness to try new things you haven't done before. You'll be proud to show off your work to friends and family who come visit you for years to come.
Själv är jag orolig för att hon får en tråkig vinter 😞 Hon struntar totalt i hur man hanterar veden som den ligger nu så kommer den att sugga in all nederbörd och bli dyngsur , Försök elda med den veden 😞
For future reference to you or others the roofing material you laid under the tiles was upside down. The darker part melts a little and sticks to the surface when the sun gets hot enough beating down on the roof. Secondly (brilliant you're building decking (altan), You don't need concrete plinths for decking close to the ground, a patching stone or two will do as weight and gravity holds the decking in place. If higher then yes a stable concrete plinths is perfect. Love what you're doing and love your work with wood. Just remembered, saw horses will make your life easier both in cutting anywhere and using them to dry wood painted etc. You can build them yourself quite easily. So impressed how you have jumped in the deep end and can now build with the best of them.
Come on people, surely we can do better for Rosie! How can over 3500 people watch this and only six hundred odd give it a like. Rosie deserves many many more likes. Rosie you are an inspiration! Take care and go steady ❤❤❤
This is what I hate about audience. This girl is not pressuring her audience but then the audience starts pressuring other people to do more. Im subscribed, Im watching, I like her content in general but thats it. She is not my idol or part of my life. This girl is living nice, not only living but also renovating her own home from her social media income. She is healthy, she is handy. Stop making victim out of her.
A little unsolicited advice, that is kindly meant: You should turn some of those apples into apple butter or apple sauce and can it so that you have a small stockpile for the winter. As you don't have to pressure can apple products due to their high acidity you can just water bath can them. And store them in a dry spot for the winter. I would also recommend making yourself some sort of root cellar that you can start stock piling winter goods as it seemed like you ran out of food last year during the snow. Carrots and root vegs store well in root cellars.
You've moved from necessity to amenity in the years I've been following you, Rosie. All those tasks that had you worried have slowly been worked behind you. Now you're able to whittle away at those one by one while incorporating the things you want such as a lovely deck. How cool is that. 👍👍
Rosie, maybe you could find a countertop, round, stackable tray, food dehydrator, and make crunchy dried apple rings, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. They could be stored in a large (gallon size?) glass jar with a lid, with a dessicant package inside it. That would keep moisture out, and they would last through the next season. Great, healthy snack in Winter!! I have several food dehydrators of various sizes, so I can use them according to how much produce I need to process. I use them to dry everything imaginable...various berries, pears, apples, peaches, tomatoes, peppers, onions, grapes, chives, etc. And dried, they take up way less space when stored. I use tightly sealable glass jars stored on shelves. They all look so pretty, sitting side by side!!🥰🥰 Right now, I have cayenne peppers drying. Yesterday, I used the dehydrator to make salted cucumber ring chips. Yummy!! The one I'm using right now is a Nesco brand, and I have twelve trays. YOURE DOING A GREAT JOB!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
I’ve built 2 decks in the last 6 years, neither of which could come close to the exquisite workmanship that you have put into this deck. You give me something to aspire to Rosie.
This is my Sunday morning happy place, a cup of coffie and a visit to Sweden starts off my day. I love it all; the inspration for building something, the music, the creativity, even the comment section. Rosie I hope we bless you as much as you bless us.
Agreed, tiny slope and metal flashing tucked behind the siding where the deck meets the house. Oh, she can pinch out the fruit sets on the apple tree so more energy goes into each remaining apple. Less cleanup next summer too.
I never baked a cake in my life, but after watching one of your videos, I made a yogurt cake with berries and apples. Great work with the house and excellent content for youtube.
Rosie, I think it’s time for a wheelbarrow. ❤️ Great episode. Your mum is an amazing lady. She supports you so much, and that is everything. Thank you for sharing.
Many people are injured, and some even accidentally die, whilst moving heavy/unbalanced loads with a wheelbarrow. When one is, or lives, alone it is even more dangerous. Pushing or pulling a wheelbarrow on uneven ground, or 'rocking' one to get it to move up a hill, or having it - or it's load - tip over sideways, etc., are just a few common ways to break bones or be pinned underneath. Tarp is a safer, if more temporary, solution, unless you always only fill the wheelbarrow to significantly less what you feel you can move.
To stop your pies burn in the oven: have a lid or foil over it for half the time, then it gets the time it needs to bake until it’s ready to be brown❤️ I love your videos and I’m so thankful that I found you early last year (if I remember correctly) You and your mom is amazing❤️❤️❤️
The optimism involved in attempting to cut a 4x4 with a Japanese pull saw and the subsequent wisdom of switching to a circular saw are two of the reasons I love watching you take on projects like this. You are a model of patience, determination, creativity, and optimism. (And if you're thinking that you don't fully possess any of those virtues, then you're perhaps correct. But the fact that you continually work to cultivate them is what's so commendable!) Stay wild!
Your mother is sooo amazing. I truly enjoy watching the two of you. You are so methodical on how you build thing and go about things. It is encouraging.
The brick walk added even more charm to the porch area ! I think you are right in saying your fruit trees are coming back to life because they feel your love ! I love your videos and look forward to them . I'm glad you took time for yourself this summer .
Thanks for sharing your mom with us. Mine passed away last year and I miss her. She lived with me and a few years before she died she repurposed old flagstone on my property and built a walkway. I will cherish it forever.
The bricks are that extra touch to your back entrance. Your mom’s strength is amazing. Your building on the deck looks strong and will give you another outdoor space. Have a great week ahead look forward for your next video.
Watching you attach that wooden plank to the existing concrete slab of the porch at 32:50 was very satisfying. It took seconds in the video but it must have taken ages to measure, drill and prepare.
Your Mom is amazing…easy to see where you get your work ethic and “can do” spirit. What a happy, memorable visit. Lucky mother & daughter to spend such time together.
I am blown away by the creativity and the vision that you have displayed in restoring and improving this property. I am continually impressed with each new project you take on and your willingness to try different paths to create something you have visualized into reality. The ability to grow much of your food is something many of us envy. Look forward to new videos every fortnight. ❤
You actually set the tone for the week ahead. David Whyte, the poet, writes a beautiful poem about taking the first step. You present the encouragement about doing that. Thank you
I love your videos so much. I’m always amazed at your talents and resourcefulness. You seem so delicate and fairylike but you’re strong and determined. 💪👏👏💪

My daughter is going to Sweden tomorrow for a vacation. She lives in Northern Wisconsin on 65 acres of forest and it is very similar to Sweden. Actually a lot of people from your part of the world settled in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Your home is looking so beautiful, you should be very proud of everything you've achieved. I think you're right about the fruit trees needing someone around to care for them, they look very happy this year. And it's so lovely seeing you and your mum together ❤
Experience, trial, and error. You have excellent problem solving skills and always come out with a success. Well done. I think the deck will be perfect!
You’re an inspiration, and although you may not see it or hear of it, it has profound resonance on many people of many generations! As we used to stay in the 60s, keep on keeping on Rosie! You’re doing great things whether you know or not. 🙏💞💃🏻😊
Dear Rosie, I have watched from the beginning and have so enjoyed the content, the filming and your natural and honest style. It's always an uplifting break from my own adventures. You have inspired me with your approach to design and your own sense of style. Thank you for these bundles of beautiful respite for so long. Clearly you have gradually made better and better video over time and I appreciate that because these excerpts have become even more entertaining, funny and thoughtful without being slick. Bless you and your mum and all the projects.
I so respect the quality of your renovations. Your parents are surely proud of the peaceful quality of life you have created for yourself. You’re very inspiring for this 73 y/o renovator.🙏🏻
Rosie I cannot say enough of how inspirational you are! I love the fact that you take on every project with an “I can Do That” attitude and always figure it out! Your mechanical mind is amazing to watch, I can almost hear your wheels turning on each project. I congratulate you on all the accomplishments so far and look forward to every Sunday morning to see what is next! You seem to be a Master at everything👍
You will enjoy relaxing on your new deck once it is completed, with the satisfaction that it has been created with your hands. I love your grass pathways in the yard! Thank you for sharing.
The bricks were a perfect addition to your little porch deck...oh that pie, food for the Gods...the new deck will be amazing and such a useful area to your cottage, I see much tea and pie had out there...love your drone views of the cottage, how fun, love the work you and your mum do together...now I'll watch the video again to see what I've missed, you do inspire and get me out of my chair...THANKS Rosie...!
Don't lose hope with your self builds, you will figure them out as they happen. Stop doubting yourself. You have built so many things already and they have been good so that will continue for you.❤❤
BEAUTIFUL !!! FUNCTIONAL !!! And so filled the CARE AND CONSIDERATION that the fruit trees are Cheering you on. In my experience, plants are rather competitive creatures. They do best in proximity to others who spur them on. Not so different from us human folk. Thank you, Rosie, for sharing such incredible work with us. 💚+💎, -V
When I was a girl, we had a couple of huge pear trees in the backyard. They were more like apples, round, and had more of an apple taste, but the old man across the road from us said he and his brothers had planted those trees when they were boys over 50 years before. Anyway, every fall we had tons of pears. Mom canned a lot of them, but she needed a way to keep the ones she didn't can. Someone told her to wrap each individual pear in newspaper, then put them into a cardboard box and store in a dark, cool place. She tried it, and lordy, we had so many!! But the cool thing was, it worked, and we had pears to eat all winter long. We'd just go down, grab one, unwrap it, and eat it. She also cooked with them all winter long as well. You might try that with your excess apples and see if it works for you. I also agree with you, I think the fruit trees just needed some positive, caring energy. I think you make them happy!
Oh we had Asian pears (edit: i think that is what you’re describing) in our backyard growing up and I LOVED and still love them. Thank you for sharing your memories
Hi Rosie, I am a bit slow to your story and what you have done to that house from scratch with no experience, you are fantastic with every task you tackle, you go girl
Seeing you wisely drag the plinth on the tarp reminded me of the saying-Work smarter, not harder. 😊 You’re doing so great on these projects. I can’t wait to see the deck once it’s finished. Thank you for sharing the learning with us. Blessings!
Good Sunday morning to you Rosie I was scrolling down for my Bible study and I found you and I am so excited I hope you have a blessed day. I really can watch you all the time I love your content so much I am learning to from you I hope to see you soon❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉💐💐💐🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
You might consider pruning your fruit trees in winter and controlling the number of growing canes to limit fruit production. You'll end up with better quality fruit that way. A tree's root and stem system can only provide a fixed amount of water and nutrition to the fruit so limiting the number of fruit on the tree will give better results. Love your work, by the way. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Hello Rosie, may I suggest filling up the spaces around the concrete posts with gravel or small rocks. This is to prevent them moving...... Your porch will add so much to the house. Looking forward to next episode. Best wishes from Canada
Hi Rosie, like you two of my Apple trees are ready to harvest. Half I wrap in newspaper and pack in apple trays and store in a cold concrete based shed until needed the worst of the harvest, I peel chop and make apple pie filling by adding a little sugar and vanilla. Once cooked and cooled, I put in freezer bags in pie size batches and freeze. Dated and identified, of course. Can do the same with plums de-stoned. It's lovely having fruit pies in Dec or January from your own harvest of homegrown fruit. We love your You tube videos and are very impressed with your skills and knowledge, on renevations and with a sewing machine. You are lovely to watch. Good luck and best wishes Kim x
I for one will give Rosie a like I thik she is an amazing talent woman, I wish I had half her skills!! Carry on with your videos Rosie to show us your latest projects.
YASS! A pie-baking moment! Your pies look so good. It was lovely that your mum was in more of the stories this summer and we got to "know" her a bit better. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so the saying goes - you're a lot like her. I really love how you were so measured and cautious before putting those plinths in the ground because there was never going to be an easy way to recover them. And I've been looking forward to seeing a wood storage update - the roof looks great :) You're blessed with an abundance of apples this year! I usually end up with loads and tend to cook them down, then freeze the puree. I think you're right about the fruit trees producing because you've been there a while. Do you think the apple needs pruning? It was awesome binge-watching your stories, but I find I'm enjoying the gentle rhythm of your fortnightly uploads and being relatively up to date. Your channel is my absolute favourite.
Oh my goodness as I watch you I can’t help thinking about how far you have come in terms of your level of skill all beautifully and sometimes painfully documented for your yt channel. It has been one hell of a journey thus far and as we know the absolute time consuming interruptions to the flow of working just to set up shots for filming and the fact that there is only you doing everything is often gobsmacking. It was not hard to see where you have gotten your work ethics from your Mum is wonderful getting stuck in to the work cycling with you. Thank you Rosie for all the inspiration but I have one thing to say please don’t ever let it become a burden to you don’t let us get too much in the way if that makes sense. 😊
Dear Rosie, I love your videos! After showing them to my husband, he loves them too. Now I am not "allowed" to watch them without him 😂. He even asks me every Sunday if a new video has been released. You are doing such a good job with your house, your ideas, your determination and of course your videos. Thank you sooooo much for sharing with us. (Btw I love watching your videos since you released your journey of finding your little sweet treasure).
I was told that RUclips even keeps track of how soon you hit the like button, so I always start off with a like. I mean after all this time what do we ever see that we don’t love. Your work ethic is incredible, I’m not sure if I lived alone in the forest I would work this hard with every new project.
What an amazing job you did! I admire how you are starting one project after the other and you learn so much through your approach. What a joy to have fruit that you can use this summer and the fact that your mom was able to visit and help you. That is a blessing. Thanks for the video! 🙂
Wonderful new addition to your sweet cabin! Thank you Rosie for sharing with us all. You are lifting our world during a very dark time in history. Your hard work with such grace blesses us all. Sending love to you sweet lady🥰💕👍❤️
My good man and I have been following you this year and we've been so impressed by both your willingness to do difficult projects and your skills in putting them together. My other half had a stroke a couple of months ago and he is the builder to my ideas while I am the landscaper and gardener. Several projects had been put on hold on our homestead because of his inability to do the labor part until the times were desperate to have them done. So, tools in hand I started poultry doors, raised beds, new cat quarters, gates, greenhouse shelving, etc. I have a new appreciation for your incredible skills, Rosie! It takes foresight to get those angle cuts right and sequencing a project is really, really HARD! Finally he came out with his walker and cut wood while directing what to do next. What a relief that was and how much faster the project went with his direction to my "grunt" work! So, Rosie, kudos to you! Brava! You are remarkable! (btw, if you haven't done it, make applesauce. The acid in those apples should allow you to water bath a few jars in your deepest pot. Cover the filled pint jars with an inch of water and bring the pot to a boil for 20 minutes. A cloth on the bottom of your pot will keep the jars from breaking. Surely you can find pint jars, lids, and rings where you live or definitely from Amazon. You could can the plums as well. Happy eating and God's blessings on your homestead!)
You & your ‘good man’ sound like you’re quite a great team. I’m sorry about his health. I hope that he’s healing & getting stronger all the time. Good for you, using Rosie for inspiration & ploughing on. Good luck with everything. Thinking of the two of you, from Canada 🙏🏻🍀🇨🇦
Great seeing your mom. By the way, how’s your dad doing? Please give him our warmest regards. I love watching you & your mom together on this project.😊 With regards to your fruit trees, they love it when people pluck their fruits. It’s gives them purpose and fulfillment 😊
Rose I can give you a tip to prevent burning the top of your pies: use aluminum foil on top of the pie when you see it getting too dark (so around the last ten minutes of baking). Hope that helps! And about the apples being not too tasty when eating as is, maybe they are 'moesappels' in Dutch, which are favorable for pie and apple sauce. If you have kilo's of apples, you could even make apple butter ('appelstroop').
May I just say: you are incredible!
Every Sunday, I’m excited for your videos. They calm me and give me a feeling of peace and happiness in a world that I find increasingly frightening and unsettling. Thank you, Rosie!
I love your mum's solution for the brick step at the bottom of your beautiful entryway. You keep saying 'This doesn't look like much...', but you worked on 3 projects major projects, saved frogs, baked a gorgeous pie, and encouraged trees to bear fruit. Really, Rosie, you might want to reconsider your expectations. 😊💕
Looking nice, but red bricks destroy from heavy moisture, i. e. rain water and melting snow, so it will last for couple of years only
De tråkiga med Entrén va att Entré dörren togs bort och ersattes med ett fönster , Så Entrén är plattformen är egentligen bortkastad . Taket behövs inte heller som vi ser det så är det i dåligt skick . Men som Uteplats duger det
To stop your pie tops burning just put a piece of baking paper over the cake when a nice brown colour, keep baking but it won t burn .
Love your program.
The frogs were definitely worth the effort!
Hi Rosie. I've learnt so much watching your projects. I'm 78, female, and have a similar selection of tools, although my mitre saw is pretty basic. I even bought a Japanese saw recently after watching you and I love it. I've just completed building a storage unit in an alcove off my front hall.

@user-uq6gl5nw7b you are my hero! I am 63 and only dream of trying carpentry. and here you are doing it!
I live on a small Mediterranean island and I recently went to my hardware merchants to buy a Japanese saw and they didn't know what I meant 😮
I'm nearly 68 and just finished designing a garden pergola and am about to make a deck out of recycled wooden pallets
I bought that saw too!!!!
Good for you, I like to hear from people that don’t let their age stop them from doing what they want todo…
Your Mom is amazing! We now know where you get your ingenuity
and work ethic!
Rosie you should get a wheelbarrow ❤️😉👍🏼🇨🇦
The beautiful shot of the mom daughter giggles in the orchard. ❤
What an excellently creative week you’ve had. Fresh air, homemade food, a new project to plan and work on. Thanks for sharing your good life with us Rosie.

I was just thinking the same thing! that & perhaps some apple cider &/or apple jelly, so yummy on breads & buns :)
I’ve built 2 decks in the last 6 years, neither of which could come close to the exquisite workmanship that you have put into this deck. You give me something to aspire to Rosie.
This is my Sunday morning happy place, a cup of coffie and a visit to Sweden starts off my day. I love it all; the inspration for building something, the music, the creativity, even the comment section. Rosie I hope we bless you as much as you bless us.
Beautiful - but please make sure that the deck has a tiny slope away from the house so water can't collect and (worst case) get into the walls
Agreed, tiny slope and metal flashing tucked behind the siding where the deck meets the house. Oh, she can pinch out the fruit sets on the apple tree so more energy goes into each remaining apple. Less cleanup next summer too.
It's on a slope and also won't really touch the house either :)
I never baked a cake in my life, but after watching one of your videos, I made a yogurt cake with berries and apples. Great work with the house and excellent content for youtube.

Rosie & Mom.....what a wonderful team❤❤❤❤ Many hugs from Germany❤
And from Poland 😘
And the United States! 😁
And Québec, gros câlins 😊 ! 😊! 😊!
En uit de Betuwe in Nederland, top team ❤
Try putting foil ontop of the pie crust same as some do on the sides to keep it from burning!
Yes! Thanks, completely forgot about that option :)
They also have pie toppers in Aluminum And silicon on line if not thirft it.
To stop your pies burn in the oven: have a lid or foil over it for half the time, then it gets the time it needs to bake until it’s ready to be brown❤️
I love your videos and I’m so thankful that I found you early last year (if I remember correctly) You and your mom is amazing❤️❤️❤️
Also, if you skip the egg wash and sugar topping or hold off on doing it until the last 5 minutes it will be much less likely to burn
I enjoy watching other people who live life exclusively on their own terms, like I do. Well done, Rosie, you’re a joy.
The optimism involved in attempting to cut a 4x4 with a Japanese pull saw and the subsequent wisdom of switching to a circular saw are two of the reasons I love watching you take on projects like this.

You are so methodical on how you build thing and go about things. It is encouraging.
This year has been extremly good for fruits and berries here in Sweden
also here in New York State
very jealous here in great white north🥺short growing season pretty wonky this year... 😞😖🤞
Good morning Rosie , you and your mother do beautiful work together, have a bless day.
You are a wonderful film maker too, I particularly enjoy all the angles you think off to give us the best experience with you. Well done 👏
The brick walk added even more charm to the porch area ! I think you are right in saying your fruit trees are coming back to life because they feel your love ! I love your videos and look forward to them . I'm glad you took time for yourself this summer .
Thanks for sharing your mom with us. Mine passed away last year and I miss her. She lived with me and a few years before she died she repurposed old flagstone on my property and built a walkway. I will cherish it forever.
Just made myself a big cup of Sunday coffee, what a timing :)
Yaaaassss!
It is so nice to see the two of you spending time together. Wonderful times ❤
The bricks are that extra touch to your back entrance. Your mom’s strength is amazing. Your building on the deck looks strong and will give you another outdoor space. Have a great week ahead look forward for your next video.
Watching you attach that wooden plank to the existing concrete slab of the porch at 32:50 was very satisfying. It took seconds in the video but it must have taken ages to measure, drill and prepare.
I love the sound of peeling apples. Reminds me of my grandmother baking apple crumble.
Your Mom is amazing…easy to see where you get your work ethic and “can do” spirit. What a happy, memorable visit. Lucky mother & daughter to spend such time together.
Love when your Mother comes to stay with you. You are such a clever woodworker, from paper plans to finish. My sister now follows you too❤x
I am blown away by the creativity and the vision that you have displayed in restoring and improving this property. I am continually impressed with each new project you take on and your willingness to try different paths to create something you have visualized into reality.
The ability to grow much of your food is something many of us envy.
Look forward to new videos every fortnight. ❤
You actually set the tone for the week ahead. David Whyte, the poet, writes a beautiful poem about taking the first step. You present the encouragement about doing that. Thank you
Do you recall the name of it? I am not familiar with his work. Thank you!
I love your videos so much. I’m always amazed at your talents and resourcefulness. You seem so delicate and fairylike but you’re strong and determined. 💪👏👏💪
@@johnlorrieboskovic2836 The name of the poem by David Whyte is, “Start Close In”.
@@johnlorrieboskovic2836 Start Close In by David White “Start right now take a small step you can call your own don't follow someone else's heroics, be humble and focused, start close in, don't mistake that other for your own. Start close in, don't take the second step or the third, start with the first thing close in, the step you don't want to take.”
My daughter is going to Sweden tomorrow for a vacation. She lives in Northern Wisconsin on 65 acres of forest and it is very similar to Sweden. Actually a lot of people from your part of the world settled in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Yes, dear fellow followers - let's hit that like button! Rosie so deserves it! 🤗
❤ wonderful been able to spend time with your Mother...I miss mine so much 💗
Your home is looking so beautiful, you should be very proud of everything you've achieved. I think you're right about the fruit trees needing someone around to care for them, they look very happy this year. And it's so lovely seeing you and your mum together ❤
Experience, trial, and error. You have excellent problem solving skills and always come out with a success. Well done. I think the deck will be perfect!
The things that take time, planning and work are the most soul satisfying to complete. You're making your home beautiful.
Its amazing all the work you done on your house rather it's cooking, sewing, gardening or a new adventure... ❤ it all, keep up the good work
You’re an inspiration, and although you may not see it or hear of it, it has profound resonance on many people of many generations! As we used to stay in the 60s, keep on keeping on Rosie! You’re doing great things whether you know or not. 🙏💞💃🏻😊
You have a amazing mom, what a great blessing she is! Love the brick
👏👍🤗(Standing ovation) You astound me!! A woman making it happen!! Excellent video!!
Rosie you are so inspiring!
So lucky to have Damson plums ! If you don’t have a freezer, just start learning how to dry them outside in the sun.
Dear Rosie i wish you could post every week rather than every 2. I have to entertain nyself by rewatching your old videos 😊
I feel the same but she’s got so much work she has to do and then all the filming, editing so guess it’s not possible.
Also her editing is so on point. That alone probably takes hours
Dear Rosie,
I have watched from the beginning and have so enjoyed the content, the filming and your natural and honest style. It's always an uplifting break from my own adventures. You have inspired me with your approach to design and your own sense of style. Thank you for these bundles of beautiful respite for so long. Clearly you have gradually made better and better video over time and I appreciate that because these excerpts have become even more entertaining, funny and thoughtful without being slick. Bless you and your mum and all the projects.
Perfect; Rosie and my morning tea! Please do yourself a favor and get a dolly for moving heavy things and a wheelbarrow too. You amaze me Rosie.
What a lovely video. The photography is brilliant. The apple tree is stunning. Your hard work is paying off. Thank you.
Your mom is so amazing...I love seeing her during your visits together.
I so respect the quality of your renovations. Your parents are surely proud of the peaceful quality of life you have created for yourself. You’re very inspiring for this 73 y/o renovator.🙏🏻
Watching my favorite life journey! Your mom is precious! ❤
Rosie you are amazing, you slowly but surely transforms this old cottage to something special 👍
Rosie I cannot say enough of how inspirational you are! I love the fact that you take on every project with an “I can Do That” attitude and always figure it out! Your mechanical mind is amazing to watch, I can almost hear your wheels turning on each project. I congratulate you on all the accomplishments so far and look forward to every Sunday morning to see what is next! You seem to be a Master at everything👍
You will enjoy relaxing on your new deck once it is completed, with the satisfaction that it has been created with your hands. I love your grass pathways in the yard! Thank you for sharing.
The bricks were a perfect addition to your little porch deck...oh that pie, food for the Gods...the new deck will be amazing and such a useful area to your cottage, I see much tea and pie had out there...love your drone views of the cottage, how fun, love the work you and your mum do together...now I'll watch the video again to see what I've missed, you do inspire and get me out of my chair...THANKS Rosie...!
Don't lose hope with your self builds, you will figure them out as they happen. Stop doubting yourself. You have built so many things already and they have been good so that will continue for you.❤❤
also here in New York State
Great work Rosie, the pioneer spirit is strong in this one...... :-) your approach to your decking project is thoughtful, resourceful and inspiring.
What a life. Hard work, good food and at the end of the day...satisfaction with your accomplishments.
I am just so happy that I found your channel. ❤
There’s nothing on RUclips I enjoy more than your videos, you’re my absolute favourite😊
I concur!
Hi Rosie! Some wonderful moments and memories in life with your Mum...priceless😊
Selective smart pruning is encouraging the trees to bear bigger fruit. 😁. I absolutely adore your videos. Thank you very much for such inspirations.
I was going to say something similar, it looks like the apple tree would benefit from pruning, to produce healthy apples.
BEAUTIFUL !!! FUNCTIONAL !!! And so filled the CARE AND CONSIDERATION that the fruit trees are Cheering you on. In my experience, plants are rather competitive creatures. They do best in proximity to others who spur them on. Not so different from us human folk. Thank you, Rosie, for sharing such incredible work with us. 💚+💎, -V
Attaching that wood piece to that concrete was impressive. I admire your ability to keep things organized even though it makes much more work for you.
When I was a girl, we had a couple of huge pear trees in the backyard. They were more like apples, round, and had more of an apple taste, but the old man across the road from us said he and his brothers had planted those trees when they were boys over 50 years before. Anyway, every fall we had tons of pears. Mom canned a lot of them, but she needed a way to keep the ones she didn't can. Someone told her to wrap each individual pear in newspaper, then put them into a cardboard box and store in a dark, cool place. She tried it, and lordy, we had so many!! But the cool thing was, it worked, and we had pears to eat all winter long. We'd just go down, grab one, unwrap it, and eat it. She also cooked with them all winter long as well. You might try that with your excess apples and see if it works for you. I also agree with you, I think the fruit trees just needed some positive, caring energy. I think you make them happy!
Thanks for sharing your pear memory. I could picture it!
Oh we had Asian pears (edit: i think that is what you’re describing) in our backyard growing up and I LOVED and still love them. Thank you for sharing your memories
Very sweet video . ❤ The music score is absolutely heavenly . 🌹
Hi Rosie, I am a bit slow to your story and what you have done to that house from scratch with no experience, you are fantastic with every task you tackle, you go girl
Seeing you wisely drag the plinth on the tarp reminded me of the saying-Work smarter, not harder. 😊 You’re doing so great on these projects. I can’t wait to see the deck once it’s finished. Thank you for sharing the learning with us. Blessings!
That was an epic achievement is there nothing you can’t do 👏🤩
The skeleton is almost there though! it looks great already!
Good Sunday morning to you Rosie I was scrolling down for my Bible study and I found you and I am so excited I hope you have a blessed day. I really can watch you all the time I love your content so much I am learning to from you I hope to see you soon❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉💐💐💐🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
I am always amazed at how talented you are. You could build anything.
Love watching you work and create beautiful, livable spaces!
Rosie, I see you have passed the 200,000 subscriber mark. Congratulations!
You and your mom are amazing! Greetings from Frankfurt Germany. ☺
I love it when your mom comes to visit ❤
I canned apple pie filling with our apples back n the day. Loved opening a jar n the middle of winter n making a fresh pie!!
You might consider pruning your fruit trees in winter and controlling the number of growing canes to limit fruit production. You'll end up with better quality fruit that way. A tree's root and stem system can only provide a fixed amount of water and nutrition to the fruit so limiting the number of fruit on the tree will give better results. Love your work, by the way. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Hello Rosie, may I suggest filling up the spaces around the concrete posts with gravel or small rocks. This is to prevent them moving......
Your porch will add so much to the house. Looking forward to next episode. Best wishes from Canada
You should dubble up the horizontal beam. That’s why the metal holders are so much wider.
Hi Rosie, like you two of my Apple trees are ready to harvest. Half I wrap in newspaper and pack in apple trays and store in a cold concrete based shed until needed the worst of the harvest, I peel chop and make apple pie filling by adding a little sugar and vanilla. Once cooked and cooled, I put in freezer bags in pie size batches and freeze. Dated and identified, of course. Can do the same with plums de-stoned. It's lovely having fruit pies in Dec or January from your own harvest of homegrown fruit.
We love your
You tube videos and are very impressed with your skills and knowledge, on renevations and with a sewing machine. You are lovely to watch. Good luck and best wishes Kim x
I'm so invested in your house. I've watched every episode so far!! Can't wait to watch new ones with you!!!
I for one will give Rosie a like I thik she is an amazing talent woman, I wish I had half her skills!! Carry on with your videos Rosie to show us your latest projects.
YASS! A pie-baking moment! Your pies look so good. It was lovely that your mum was in more of the stories this summer and we got to "know" her a bit better. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so the saying goes - you're a lot like her.
I really love how you were so measured and cautious before putting those plinths in the ground because there was never going to be an easy way to recover them. And I've been looking forward to seeing a wood storage update - the roof looks great :)
You're blessed with an abundance of apples this year! I usually end up with loads and tend to cook them down, then freeze the puree. I think you're right about the fruit trees producing because you've been there a while. Do you think the apple needs pruning?
It was awesome binge-watching your stories, but I find I'm enjoying the gentle rhythm of your fortnightly uploads and being relatively up to date. Your channel is my absolute favourite.
Oh my goodness as I watch you I can’t help thinking about how far you have come in terms of your level of skill all beautifully and sometimes painfully documented for your yt channel. It has been one hell of a journey thus far and as we know the absolute time consuming interruptions to the flow of working just to set up shots for filming and the fact that there is only you doing everything is often gobsmacking. It was not hard to see where you have gotten your work ethics from your Mum is wonderful getting stuck in to the work cycling with you. Thank you Rosie for all the inspiration but I have one thing to say please don’t ever let it become a burden to you don’t let us get too much in the way if that makes sense. 😊
Dear Rosie, I love your videos! After showing them to my husband, he loves them too. Now I am not "allowed" to watch them without him 😂. He even asks me every Sunday if a new video has been released.
You are doing such a good job with your house, your ideas, your determination and of course your videos. Thank you sooooo much for sharing with us. (Btw I love watching your videos since you released your journey of finding your little sweet treasure).
I was told that RUclips even keeps track of how soon you hit the like button, so I always start off with a like. I mean after all this time what do we ever see that we don’t love. Your work ethic is incredible, I’m not sure if I lived alone in the forest I would work this hard with every new project.
Yes treasurer times with your mum we love in your vlogs too ❤
You are an incredible human Rosie. My absolute favorite you tuber!!
What an amazing job you did! I admire how you are starting one project after the other and you learn so much through your approach. What a joy to have fruit that you can use this summer and the fact that your mom was able to visit and help you. That is a blessing. Thanks for the video! 🙂
Wonderful new addition to your sweet cabin! Thank you Rosie for sharing with us all. You are lifting our world during a very dark time in history. Your hard work with such grace blesses us all. Sending love to you sweet lady🥰💕👍❤️
We really have been looking forward to this video! Blessings 🌱
Ingenuity at its best! Just goes to show, if there’s a will, there’s a way 😊 Excellent job Rosie!
My good man and I have been following you this year and we've been so impressed by both your willingness to do difficult projects and your skills in putting them together. My other half had a stroke a couple of months ago and he is the builder to my ideas while I am the landscaper and gardener. Several projects had been put on hold on our homestead because of his inability to do the labor part until the times were desperate to have them done. So, tools in hand I started poultry doors, raised beds, new cat quarters, gates, greenhouse shelving, etc. I have a new appreciation for your incredible skills, Rosie! It takes foresight to get those angle cuts right and sequencing a project is really, really HARD! Finally he came out with his walker and cut wood while directing what to do next. What a relief that was and how much faster the project went with his direction to my "grunt" work! So, Rosie, kudos to you! Brava! You are remarkable! (btw, if you haven't done it, make applesauce. The acid in those apples should allow you to water bath a few jars in your deepest pot. Cover the filled pint jars with an inch of water and bring the pot to a boil for 20 minutes. A cloth on the bottom of your pot will keep the jars from breaking. Surely you can find pint jars, lids, and rings where you live or definitely from Amazon. You could can the plums as well. Happy eating and God's blessings on your homestead!)
You & your ‘good man’ sound like you’re quite a great team. I’m sorry about his health. I hope that he’s healing & getting stronger all the time. Good for you, using Rosie for inspiration & ploughing on. Good luck with everything. Thinking of the two of you, from Canada 🙏🏻🍀🇨🇦
@@pdq5465 That is so sweet of you! Thank you!
Great seeing your mom.
By the way, how’s your dad doing?
Please give him our warmest regards.
I love watching you & your mom together on this project.😊
With regards to your fruit trees, they love it when people pluck their fruits. It’s gives them purpose and fulfillment 😊
Very sweet comment! ☺
Rose I can give you a tip to prevent burning the top of your pies: use aluminum foil on top of the pie when you see it getting too dark (so around the last ten minutes of baking). Hope that helps! And about the apples being not too tasty when eating as is, maybe they are 'moesappels' in Dutch, which are favorable for pie and apple sauce. If you have kilo's of apples, you could even make apple butter ('appelstroop').
