  • 2022 was a big year and 2023 is set to be even bigger! In this video we'll show you everything we did in 2022: one year of work in 45mins (ish).
    Get ready for some epic timelapse, and a whole lot of making, doing, growing, digging, clearing, harvesting, preserving, chickening, home brewing - and of course a healthy dose of undoing and redoing!

    I have no doubts your will eventually reach your objectives. You already have done an amazing amount of hard work. It may sound a bit cliché or jaded to say this. But the fact is that you have . Looking back at this condensed version of your hard work... it is amazing. And you both always seem to present a happy disposition. Your individual sense of humour complements each other. Your slightly dry remarks and your wife's genuine short bursts of laughter making light of a serious situation... and both of u plodding determinedly on. You have my admiration for your determination and hard work. Have no doubts you will continue to flourish in your adopted country and life style. Thanks for making a window into your life. It is educative and a lot more interesting and wholesome to watch than modern tv. I look forward to your next video . I vicariously partake of your satisfaction with your life there.

    You have no idea how much I appreciate your attention to detail and your aim and fastidiousness to get things right (and all the understandable gruntings that go along with it ha) the first time or rectify things as soon as you learn how to do things better. I'm glad you have the "push" to do most of the work yourselves because it's just awful to contract work to someone else who mostly operate on minimally acceptable standards as opposed to highest. Sharing you vision, pain and anticipation of the finished product!

    • @MAKEDOGROW
      @MAKEDOGROW  Год назад +8

      Attention to detail and wanting to get it done right are both a blessing and a curse 😂
      But 100% doing it yourself is more likely to result in a better job than a contractor ... even if you do have to undo/redo many times!

You had the resources to purchase the equipment and materials you needed. You did a hellava lot of hard manual labor. You have realistic goals, and though there will always be improvement projects, you can make this your "forever home". Your video diary will be very useful for others who aspire to do the same.

    How about some beets root port?
    1 kg of beetroot, brushed and sliced, is boiled for two hours in 2 liters of water.
    Strain the spade, pour it into a clean container and add 2 kg of sugar
    1 pkt raisins (250 g)
    3 liters of water
    Stir so that the sugar dissolves. Let cool.
    Spread 5-6 slices of hard bread with 150g of normal fresh baking yeast. Place the slices on top of the liquid with the yeast facing down. Cover with gladpack or a lid and leave at room temperature for one month.
    Strain the liquid from leftover bread and raisins - avoid getting to the bottom sediment - and leave for another month with air holes in the plastic or the lid ajar this time.
    Pour into bottles - preferably with a strainer to avoid sediment. Done!
    The wine will be quite strong, not so sweet and fully comparable to finer port, but will definitely be even better after aging if you can hold on. Great as a gift with homemade labels.
    With yellow beets you of course get sherry …

    I have a pretty small garden, that I have grown food on. The best advice I was given by an elderly gent was, always use the companion growing method as it reduces the amount of work you have to do. e.g. Grow corn with green beans or peas, as the corn provides upright growth space for the green beans/peas to grow up and they provide nitrogen for the corn at it's roots. Carrots should be grown with strong smelling plants as the scent of, for example garlic or marigolds, covers up the smell of the carrots, so the carrot fly are less likely to find the carrots to lay its eggs on. It's worked well for me.

    As with anything, there are good quality plumbing fixtures and those that are not so good. With all the work you have put into your floor, it would definitely make sense to install something that you trust to do the job and that will last for years. This is where the old adage "You get what you pay for" comes in. Good luck with your project.
