It's a slow process, working for the first time with natural building materials, using hand tools only. But the result is all the more satisfying. Putting in my stone floor ha been a interesting learning process. I've seen people doing it before, and helped out a few times with flooring. The big difference Is that I'm using lime I stead of portland cement, needing to sort out the ratios while I...

    Hello my friend, great to see that you can get back to your place. I can imagine that you don't like to be working on someone else's place but need to. You don't seem as happy as you always are, hopefully that will change being home. Maybe you could do with a really good rest from hard work and the Xmas season is a good opportunity. I also hope that your girlfriend is going to be able to spend time there for Xmas. The buymeacoffee link isn't on your video but I went to the previous one and found it there. Take care and enjoy some downtime too. Hope that all is good. ❤️ from Cape Town.

    There is nothing easy about harvesting olives, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to have access to any of those trees. For someone like yourself it's a great way of making some money to help your life out there. I hope that you have a really successful season and make enough to make a difference. I did wonder about your video, good to see you haven't had any problems, other than running after lambs.😜❤️

      Yeah it's a hard job. But it's nothing you will have a good income. As a helper for others you can make more money. If you care about the trees all year long and do the harvest yourself, you can make 80ct /hour. If you drop all the good means and go for industrial farmed olives, then you can make a living from it. Just at the cost of mother nature 🙄 in addition you need to have a business and a lot of regularites to be allowed to sell oil in the EU. Imagine you want a bio or alt. certificate, which costs you a good thousand every year. It's a big hassle and easily not worth it. It's a friendship product.

    Sself-sufficient? It is an amusing goal. I see iron, steel, wire, plastics, fabrics. Do you mine, weave, make glass and pottery? Who makes paper for you so that you knowledge is not word of mouth? Where do your tools come from? Nice looking shoes. When you have a bad crop year and you lose a complete species, can you get it back? My point is, individuals are reliant on others. Not even a village is typically self sufficient, all must trade for something.

      @@leavingbabylonfamily Oh, I agree, we have a huge garden, 20 berry bushes in various stages, 14 fruit trees in various stages.Close to 600 canning jars in the house, most filled with food, some with herbs. A compost pile actively fermenting even in the cold. We also fish quite a bit and have panfish in the freezer. For now we have ruled out rabbits and chickens because we sometimes leave town for a week or more. We are influencing our neighbors and friends to garden so that we are not the only ones.I've bought fruit trees and berry bushes from our DNR nursery here in Iowa. $45 for 25 bare root saplings delivered. I've shared more than half and many of the give aways are still alive. I've also tilled gardens for some neighbors and family. But we don't have a "prepping group". We're not ready to lead or follow. We do have contacts for eggs and even goats. We have many other skills that we continue to practice. But we know we are so far from self sufficient.
