    A nice possibility for the bell would be to make a mount for it outside on the property. Imagine a square-ish brick base with the bell and a small peaked roof over it. It could be your door bell!! LOL

    My wife and I also bought a place in Nova Scotia which was close to 100 years old. You are about to start a journey and a half. lol I have been waiting to see your new videos of landscape photography in Nova Scotia. Where our house was, we had quite long drives to even get to interesting places. We were 1 hour from the main highway. There is a price to pay for seclusion. From the map you showed in the video, it looks like you're closer to Halifax than we were. We were on Chedabucto Bay near Canso, in the middle of nowhere. I do envy you having the camper so you will be ably to stay overnight where necessary. Can't wait for the new videos.

    @captain_barnacles 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I knew we’d finally see Gavin’s massive bell, just a matter of time 🤣
    Looks cool though so finding a way to keep it would be awesome.
    Renovation looks fun though, and good luck with it. Top tip for old places: Get yourself a good face mask with proper filters that seal to your face to handle dust (bat crap) etc, not those little paper things, and tough gardening gloves. Number of times I’ve saved my hands from lacerations from old nails or a dose of tetanus while wearing a pair as I fix up and handle old timber is crazy.
    Now I have another channel to follow! 👍

By the way Gav, friend of mine a few years ago started a bit of research around the fact that our Welsh chapels were built using wood shipped from NS. Now that many are being knocked down the wood from the pulpits are being reclaimed and sent back to NS for building projects- now that’s recycling on steroids isn’t it? Brilliant, oh, and your work 😂

    Hi Gavin & Amanda, First of all I agree, you are a Leyend (whatever that is🤔) Congratulations on the new property, my wife is going to love your new channel and who knows I might actually subscribe to that one. I'm sure you know that the infamous Oak Island is just off the coast of Nova Scotia and Rick & Marty Lagina have managed to waste millions of dollars finding no treasure but have dragged out 9 bloody series of the show on Sky! My point being, they are always looking for the slightest link to Oak Island so they can fill an episode with nothing, I'm sure if you trace the history of your new church you will find that the great, great, great, great, great grandson of William Shakespeare, who's sister was Marie Antoinette who was married to Captain Kidd who had a child called Franklin Roosevelt who actually walked past your church on his way to the bakers for a cheese & onion pastie back in 1924. Its these kind of concrete links they look for! On a more serious note, they might be an interesting couple of lads to meet?? Anyway best of luck to both of you its exciting times for Hardcastle Towers. I'm going to DM you on Insta, reply if you want to, your not going to break my heart if you don't🤥 Best Regards Foggy
