    We timed this perfectly! - Life under our off grid barn whilst restoring old cottage.
    This week we are making some modifications to our new off grid living space under our old abandoned barn.
    Whilst we renovate our really old cottage in Ireland we are living off the grid on our land, taking our time to figure out what to do with our wonky stone walls doesn't matter, there is always a small project to be getting along with here on the abandoned farm.
    Lessons learnt this week.. listen to your wife, it would have saved me having to correct this mistake on this DIY carpentry project.

    AJ is telling you he's home. He's done walking. He's found his happy place and wants to guard it for you, and only wants an odd trip to the beach to jump the waves from now on. He knows you guys have work to do and he's freeing you up to get on with it. He just knows. This is why all dogs go to Heaven! They suss our needs before we do. Just like he'll know the optimum time to leave ye. He's just happy to see ye settled and happy. 😅❤

    Honestly, no matter what you two are up to, I’m pretty confident you’ll have a loyal following. I’m madly jealous of the skill with a hand saw, to produce those beautiful mitres. I’m super proud of myself if I can get 90 degrees in two planes, with minimal chipping. But those shallow angles, practically on the rip, with a cross cut hand saw, are a whole other level.
    I’m green with envy.
    Apart from anything else, I’d be exhausted after doing the first one, (rough, crooked and twisted!), so trying to do the second would require a rest and a cuppa. By the time I’d failed at that one too, I’d be fit for bed.
    Power tools are the only way I ever achieve a decent finish.
    All of that said, tge chemistry between you two is an absolute joy to watch and I never get tired of it. Every single one of your videos has made me smile and, trust me, there have been times when that was virtually impossible.
    Thank you both.
    Can’t wait for the next one, already!

    It's a beautiful thing, to get to care for a dog in their elder years, make their life comfortable with little adjustments. You just reminded me of carrying my sweet old husky up and down stairs when she was 15/16 years old... when she was younger she used to drag me up entire mountains and still want to keep going. That's her in my TH-cam thumbnail, her name was Uisce which I am sure you know is Irish for water, I bet her and AJ would have gotten on like a house on fire.

    • @KevinCullen
      @KevinCullen วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      @@alidabotes6264 I always thought of her as some mythical creature come to life, so graceful and elegant looking. Hmmm... high maintenance only that she had unending energy until she was maybe 15 years old, so huskies average around 12 years lifespans. If you can manage multiple long walks per day or a large fenced-in yard so your husky could burn off some of it that would help there. They are very intelligent and renowned to be escape artists, can jump over 6 feet from standing position so if you have low walls that would be a problem. When their winter coat is being shed, they need such a thorough brushing, do find some videos of what that looks like, and outside of those times of year, regular brushing but nothing excessive compared to any other longer furred breed I have had the fortune to share time with. Uisce (pronounced Ish-ka) was very affectionate, she always had to have me within her line of sight when she took her naps.
      She knew words, understood their meanings, would talk back in that husky howl speak, understood hand gestures for sit, stay, lay down, wait, come, drop it, you name it. The intelligence was part of the charm. I was lucky in that I always had more than one dog so she always had a play partner which was very helpful in burning off energy. Don't think that would be an issue so long as you had time to walk your husky with decent walks. While every dog is has unique personalities, she very much had breed characteristics. Out of all the dogs I have had, she was my favorite, still dream about her 5 years later.
      Do some research on their behavior, plenty of videos of them being somewhat crazy energized and bouncing off walls when they get zoomies indoors. Uisce never chewed furniture and somehow never damaged any while getting zoomies in the house but I have seen videos of huskies chewing up an entire sofa when left home alone all day. Watching a video like that, my thoughts go to things like, maybe that dog wasn't being catered to sufficiently, too much energy, boredom, loneliness, not enough walks. A breed bred to pull sleds for entire days, that is a lot of energy ;) I am no huge energetic person but she taught me to be healthier. Uisce got left at home all day and never destroyed anything so... take from that what you will. She was quite loopy as a puppy but for me that was adorable. If I were not looking after my elderly father as I am doing currently, I would have another one already. My next dog will also be a husky. For me, the perfect balance of temperament, affection, companionship, smarts.
      Apologies for the novel. You asked about one of my favorite things from my entire life so far.

    Our dog is 5.5yrs old , called Stanley and is a lazy git, we have a large garden and that’s all he needs or so he thinks, he refuses point blank to go on more than one walk a day with my husband and he puts his paw on the lead and forces it to the ground and he just says nope! My sister in laws dog did the same but he also liked to lie in the middle of their tiny cul de sac and he wouldn’t move for any car and the neighbours were made to drive around him, he was a giant labradoodle and we lost him 2 years ago. He was so placid , lazy and our Stanley drove him nuts as a puppy wanting him to play all the time and hanging from his ears etc. I love the ramp you have made for him & girls you can see just how much you love each other and the unconditional love for your 2 fur babies. A- J is a handsome looking boy and Summer is a beautiful girl who is adamant she is going to make Louise run daily 😂 I love watching you both & the other van wow is it beautiful 😮😃 whomever wins it will be one lucky happy being.

    I laughed so much at Summer hopping over that fence then racing off just in case Louise hadn't done enough physical labour already! AJ wandering around and watching progress from his bed was just perfect, keeping an eye on proceedings to make sure his ramp was up to standard. Our dog Molly is still fairly young but it is a breed that can have issues with hips and she has one leg slightly shorter than the others, so we have soft ramps for her for things like the sofa and stuff because she LOVES jumping 😭. It took her ages to use it properly even with training and not just leap over it from another angle, it's so funny how such clever animals can be so bemused by a ramp. I love all the things you are doing to make sure AJ and Summer have the best home and I am sure all your work will just make it even more perfect for you both too.

She was having knee problem the past few years.I would lift her up & down into the car and into my bed. My sunken living room became a problem for her so I bought a hard foamy angled similar to the ramp you built. I held her and guided her up the 1st few days.It took her about 4 days before she realized the ramp was there to help her go up & down the stair.

    Fab video, just echoing what has been said about AJ. We have a very disturbed rescue boxer who we have been working with now for 3.5 years. She didn't go out for about 6 months until she had built a tiny bond with us. People think we have to walk our dogs daily because that is what we have always done. All a dog wants is food, shelter and love. Dogs in the wild will only walk for food and shelter they don't just go for a stroll around. AJ is happy and content so please don't worry about taking him out, you only end up getting stressed and worry yourself. Grab an Emily snack and enjoy your wonderful home.

    Oh Louise. You ARE my hero! I never knew could use the handsaw as a right angle guide. I haven't used hand tools in decades. Nice job on the ramp. The "landing" was an excellent touch. So nice to see people who take proper care of their fur babies.

    My thumbs and wrists have been talking to me after years of carrying stepping stones and lumber. You do have power tools but rock that hand saw like an old world crafter. Impressive. “Snacks!”You Can teach an old dog new tricks. Watching as ramp will stand alone up to threshold. He’s got his stairway to Heaven. Reminds me of when horses are ready to race back to their barn. Sometimes a thrill ride. Free Louise to buy a circular saw at least. Old Emily and Louise will be glad you did. Consider the dog’s situation as your own when you reach his age. (X7) You are all dear to each other and all of us ‘spying “ on you. Cheers till next time.

    To save you keep moving the ramp, get a couple of hinges and fasten a couple of boards together. Fasten the hinges to the top flat board and the couple of boards then you can just fold it over when you go out in the van

AJ remknds me of my Brandy Girl in her last few years. She would stop just like AJ and as soon as I asked do you want to go home, she would just turn around and head for home. As someone once said to me, she was only interested in checking her pee-mails, not in walking!😊 😊😊

It is great that Emily enjoys doing the shopping. Loved watching you chase after Summer trying to run away. It was good that you took a few days off so you don't wear youselves out.

Not saying Emily's not helping, as she is very much.... carrying all those snacks from bag to cupboard and from cupboard to mouth is heavy work too. 😅
    Beautiful ramp for AJ, bless him, that is luxury access alright.
    And that camper.... what a beauty! ❤ A camper is a dream of mine now, sadly it's the stuff of dreams at this moment + was made redundant last week so even more than ever just a dream. But I challenged Lady Luck and bought 4 tickets for this beauty. Lady Luck hates me, but I challenge her all the same because that Camper is everything I'd love.... and there's even a little cubby for Loki cat to come along. ❤

    Nothing better than relaxing on a pleasant Sunday and watching someone else's hard graft 😊. Well done on the ramp for AJ. You are terrific pet Moms. I find it hilarious and not at all surprising that AJ now prefers to amble about his own yard to going out on walkies. Dude knows how to move at his own pace, and I respect that. Very curious to see how the next project shapes up. That's the outbuilding office, right? Have you been able to get a pro to weigh in on the house walls yet? Just wondering. Good to hear you had some time off recently, from a mental and physical standpoint. Stay safe and happy everyone!
