  • I live with my family on a 2 ha (~5 acre) homestead in Southern Finland. Our home is over 300-year old heritage house and we are learning the skills necessary to restore and maintain it. When we moved here from the city, we fell in love not only with the house but with the overgrown, wild remnants of a garden. We are building the garden up again and making it an edible, flowering garden with lots of space for wildlife.

    I grew up in Northern Minnesota, USA. My Daddy is Finnish and my Grandparents were born in Finland. Our little town is mostly Finnish, then Swedish, then some Europeans. The school offered to teach Finnish to it’s students just recently. When Daddy went to school, you had to speak English only, no Finnish allowed! The pendulum has swung back again.

    All eight of my great-grandparents came to Michigan in the USA from Finland. Some of their original log buildings still exist, including a savu sauna built in 1894. I will be visiting Finland for the first time this year to study weaving and will bring my Fiskars scissors with me:) Love what you are doing, excellent presentation, and I enjoy seeing your kissa too!

    Hellow Nina, its odd but you'll understand. My name is kim, my mother was born in Finland her name is Aune. Whenever l meet a Finnish person l
    always feel a warm connection with them. My mother dyed two years ago, at 82. I am 56 and l miss her so much.
    She was not allowed to raise me her only daughter nor my three older brothers with any Finnish culture. I came across your channel for the frist time this morning and again felt the kindness of Finnish culture. You speak English so well and so much of what you said reminded me of mom. Your home is waiting to be able to tell a story of life long ago. My
    first name was planned to be Lilja Aune. Forgive me Nina, talking so much of my-self. I feel l was meant to meet you and learn about Finland. Thank you

    Hi Nina, Very interesting for me personally. All 4 of my grandparents immigrated to the US from Finland in the late 1890s. To see your beautiful heritage house brought back memories of my grandma’s house, and my mother’s design sensibility as both created very Finnish homes in their new country. I hope you continue to make your videos, you have a very easy to listen to voice. Cheers from the US.

      Indeed! Newer homes could (and should) combine the best of two worlds, and not just rely on the modern elements of building houses. Old does not mean outdated, there are many good technical aspects of really old houses that would work great in present time as well, like having wood heating at least as an backup. 🔥👍

    • @ninasointu
      @ninasointu  Год назад

      Unfortunately here in Finland most of old houses have been destroyed too and only about 5% of all houses are 100 years or older. And to find houses over 200 or 300 years is very rare. Thus it's really important to preserve and protect all of the few houses still left standing. Places like Fiskars and other similar iron works villages and few old towns are the places where you can find a concentraded areas of really old houses.

    Love that you shared your house in the winter, although as a southern Canadian, not sure I could handle swimming in a frozen lake. The house is amazing! Would like to learn more about your culture/region.

      Many of my friends or family would not go ice swimming either, but my godmother took me to swim and I immediately fell in love with it. 🏊‍♀️

    Hello Nina, your property and home are truly beautiful and unique. Thank you for shareing. It is special to be able to own a property with a history.

      How amazing to live in a house that has so long history within your family 😍 and 1886 is already quite an age for house at least in from a Finnish point of view. In Finland there are only few percentage of houses that are even hundred years old.

    Asua vuosisadan vanhassa talossa voi olla ainutlaatuinen ja jännittävä kokemus. Nämä talot historia ja arkkitehtuuri voivat herättää tunteita nostalgiaa, uteliaisuutta ja ihailua. On yleistä kuvitella ihmiset, jotka asuivat näissä taloissa ja millaista elämä oli siihen aikaan. Nämä pohdinnat voivat antaa sielun rakennuksille ja herättää sanoin kuvaamattomia tunteita, erityisesti pitkien öiden hiljaisuudessa. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷☀️☀️☀️☀️🎶🎶🎶🎉🎊🎉🎊🌴🌴🌴🌴

    Still looks pretty chilly in the house. I live in the northern US, it’s about 0 degree Fahrenheit outside in the winter and 72 degrees inside, so lots of time we just wear t-shirt and shorts inside. We heat our house with propane. I am about 20% Finnish and 80% Norwegian so I find this very interesting.

    • @ninasointu
      @ninasointu  Год назад +1

      Yes, rarely in Finland we keep even modern houses that warm due to ecological and energy saving reasons. Top indoor temperature for a modern house is probably at 69F and old wooden houses generally stay at 66F. The part we heat up is around 64F, so it is much coooler here. 😅🤭
