Very nice, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your time and kind words!
Hello boy, if i may tell you... You start too much behind your right foot. Start where your right foot is and close the circle where you left foot stays... Much easier and quicker... Cheers
Hey Carlo, thanks for the advice. Pleased to say, I've greatly improved my technique further for myself (and this specific hill too) and another full season underway the belt. Just over 5 acres done alone last year 24. Also with a new lighter and slightly smaller in length 6cm. Has helped my flow/motion. Thank you! Take care
I came across your channel today and have watched all your videos in one sitting (with a brew or two). So inspiring to see and such great progress on the land 💪🏻 Always willing to lend a hand and learn new skills myself. To really push myself out of my comfort zone in 2025! Here if you need any support 😊
Thank you for your time and such kind words! I do really appreciate it 🙏. You'll achieve such greatness this year. Putting your thoughts out like that to the world means it's on for you. Good luck!
Superb. How beautiful to see the stream water being naturally used.. well impressed.. thanks for updating my knowledge on solar.... ya live and learn.. Supe4b
Thanks again Peter. It's highly appreciated, your time and your words. Diolch
Sound quality is as be. Stream flow echos of nature .... amazing.. I will be watching all your vids... emailed you on sheepfloof .. Namaste. Peter n Lisa.

Defo gonna use this on my log shed! Thanks for the class idea!
@tomdobbins6882 Thank you 😊 💙. My new wood/waste are definitely the same size as pallets slats. Always cool to save more money 💰
As others have said, it's good to see you back! Things are looking great, keep going 🙏
Very kind of you, thank you 😁🙏👊
pmsl just found your part 1 on the bridge project , great watch bud well enjoy ya vids , im planning the same life style aswell , a few acres and log cabin with animals
Haha brilliant! Welcome to the mad house Gary 😆👏. I really appreciate that, thank you 👊. Count me in for your videos when ever it's started 🫡😊
Oo, made me think of what I could do with all the old pallet wood in the garage I horded years ago ! 😁
Haha yes! Go get a making Richard 😁 thank you for watching and commenting 😊
Great use of off cut wood, looks good we look forward to your next video.
Thanks guys :D <3
That's a gleaming idea mate
Thank you Tony!!
@@offthegridwales no problem mate, I reckon a nail G u n might come in handy
Haha as if. I edited out a huge talk section about how much I see videos in US using nails guns and I wish I had one 😂😂👏. wish I had the money buy one, I'll definitely need one for the agri shed and house builds in the future!
grear idea that mate love it you can never have enough wood , great watch
Cheers Gary! Haha you're right there :D, thanks a lot, I'm glad you liked it.
It's going to be as cute as heck when it's finished.x
Aww Thank you Lindsey, I think so too! :D
Da iawn callum!!
@@tomdobbins6882 Diolch man🙏💙
It is looking good 👍
@1-life-2-live. thank you Ed 😊 🙏
Good to see you back.
Thank you very much 😁
Great video again mate, love seeing the progress.
@Will-Denver Will! Cheers man 👌. Everyone's great comments have made me rematch my first videos. Mind blown on what I've done, alone and by hand tbf 😂. Thanks for the continued support 👊
Your new bridge looks very smart and professional. The fence is also. Shouldn't worry too much about the wobble in the fence, it adds a certain charm.
@adel3529 thanks Adel! Honestly I am loving the bridge. It sits perfectly over the water and looks/feels so idyllic from the foot bridge 😁. Agreed, sometimes i say certain things too much out aloud. But the post and rail also looks awesome 👌 and it's for a purpose too, not for looks 😁. Cheers for sticking around and your time!
Looking good Callum. Great idea with the edge kick board. Don’t be so hard on yourself bud. Keep up the epic work and yes, all you can do is try! Best wishes, Paul
Hey Paul, great to see you still with me! A massive thank you 😊. Mich appreciated and very kind of you. Don't worry, I'm always my worst critic 😂🥲. Thanks for your time Paul 😁
Great bridge. Fencing looks lovely, has character which blends perfectly with the not dead straight trees and wonderful natural surroundings. Time lapse bits were useful and good to watch to show your method and progress without making similar activities too drawn out. Thanks for video, we look forward to the next one.
Amazing feedback thanks a million!! The brudge task (especially for my outward self talking waffle) was tricky to make a video. I can understand if anyone's like meh, with these ones. Appreciate you 🙏
Very interesting. What is the history of the small holding? Have you filmed inside the building yet, or did I miss it? The hay making taught me far more than I thought I knew.
Hey Sally, thank you for your comment and your time!! Oooo that deserves its own video if I'm honest 😅. I have been working on a new seperate series for the house stuff. But that'll be waaaaay in the future. It's a process this place and best leaving some videos, for the right time. I'm thrilled to read this about the hay making 😍😍😍. Thanks again!
@@offthegridwales Thanks for your response, have subscribed looking forward to your next vids. Good luck😀
My husband is a very good DIY man. . . You know how he got to be so good. ? He made quite a few mistakes over 50 years . Give yourself a break lad. Take it from me, you're doing amazing. It's wood, it'll be fine.👍
As always Lindsey, thank you 🥰🙏! Haha I let put to me vocals from my thoughts in these videos. I will be kinder on myself. Diolch yn fawr 😁😁😁
bang on matey looking great
Thanks Gary, highly appreciated the kind words and your time 🙏👊
Looking good.
@richard5652 Thanks Richard! Much appreciated 👏 😁
Nice to see what you've been up to. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Richard, I really appreciate your time and comment 🙏 👍
Post more often, and regularly. It’s good to see the journey. A 5 minute video every week is just fine!
Hey where have you been all this time. I did so enjoy seeing your old vids ages ago. I kept looking for you, but nothing. Glad you are back. Your steam hedge does look good so far.
Thanks Adel!! Still going strong. I find it tricky to film some of the work I do, well nearly all of the work I do. I've had a rough few months personally, it doesn't help my discipline to film, edit and go. Hopefully more frequent this winter for you all, I appreciate your time, thank you!
Thanks for the video, you have a beautiful place there, it is relaxing to see your views and your lovely sheep, seeing you working on something to improve your situation is interesting and gives context to what is happening now. It is good to see your progress and have you talk to us makes it feel like we could be there with you enjoying the escapism of sharing with you a wonderful bit of Wales countryside that it is managed carefully to let nature thrive. We look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you very much, not just for watching and commenting. For the actual substance of your words 🙏👊. They do honestly keep me going. There will be more frequent videos during winter, regardless of my winter markets coming up. Take care and thanks again 🥰.
WOW, it's amazing how much that hedge has grown ❤ you're doing a grand job. Just remember, even if you don't feel as though you're achieving much, every little bit moves you forward. Nice to see you back😊
Ah Lindsey, you're absolute gem 💎 thank you so so much! My friend said it in a cool way last week...In the inward looking way of when someone tries to gain muscles, or loose weight in the gym. It takes yourself 6months-year to see any difference whatsoever. But for those who don't see you for a while can see it immediately. Stay happy! 😄🥰
Totally agree with this comment. Even if you feel we might not like the post or you find boring let us decide we want to support you and envy your little paradise.
@Dannyp8038 well that's pretty damn cool reading after a long day. Cheers Danny!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
That’s an impressive improvement to your land. I’m really enjoying watching your progress.
Diolch yn fawr!!
Good grief, there's some work in that lot. ! ❤ Well done.
Thank you!! 😀 Yes it was a ridiculous amount of work but that's how it goes for this lifestyle and my wool work 🐑🥰
Congratulations!
Thank you very much!!
Maybe extend your arms out a little when u begin the stroke. That should allow to catch more grass. Thanks for the video
Thanks Jon
