Very nice - but maybe a bit dangerous. Please check your roof if the Eternit contains Asbest. Asbest => cancer. As long you do not move the plates or they are not destroid, there is no problem. But better you replace the Eternit roof of your living house (very carefully).
Congratulations 🎉, house has good ‘bone structure’. You both look so happy and excited that makes me even happier for both of you. I respect your privacy would be grateful however if you could say where approximately or which ‘pagasta’ the house is located, is it far from the sea….I am in awe of you both - determined and know where you want to be in life that is so inspirational. I guess you are not turning back to nine to five jobs any time soon or perhaps never. Do you think life on the land will be enough? Are you planning to work remotely? It would be interesting if you can share your future vision…anyway good luck in all your future endeavours with your house and life, greetings from Australia. I cannot wait for summer, when it will be all lusciously green….
Hi, wow thank you very much for the nice comment and wishes 😊 there are so many interesting questions in this comment that if you don't mind waiting we would love to make a whole video soon just replying to the questions 😊
@@WeAreHarvestingdreams many thanks and will be patiently waiting….
Congratulations! You guys seems like a great team. From your previous videos this property and home seems exactly like what you were aspiring to buy. I came across your channel because my wife and I are moving to Latvia (Daugavpils) next September because I have accepted a job to teach English at that city's university. So, I am spending my spare time learning about Latvia, the culture and geography. Most Americans are aware of the so-called "Baltic States" but few know the details of any of the countries and life there. Good luck to you and your plans for making your new place your "home." 👍
Thank you for the nice comment! We truly believe that we finally found our place to call home! We hope that you will enjoy your stay in Latvia , because our country could really use someone who teaches English with American accent. 😅 For most generations expect gen z English in Latvia was thought by teachers who have never spoken to a native English speaker so most of Latvians have a very distinctive accent when speaking English. 😅
Amaizing house well done even i know Omg this video is 1 year old thats my plan for futer
Hi and thank you! We were dreaming of having a place we could call our own for quite a while so we are pleased that we finally have this place 😊
If is is asbestos please get out of there immediately and do not attempt to remove it or fix it
Almost every country house in Latvia is covered with asbestos roofing and people also work themselves at fixing it and replacing it ...people just panic about everything nowadays .
It is the blue asbestos that is the most deadly causing cancers.
Can the sheeting be sprayed with a sealing polymer?
Of course I could be wrong and I can be concrete but the molding and weaving pattern makes me believe it is asbestos fibers
Hi, thanks for watching and your comment and concern. Yes we are aware that the roof tiles are made of asbestos, however you probably would not be very happy to hear that in Latvia almost 80% oh houses are still covered with asbestos tiles and the switch to more healthy materials is incredibly expensive and slow here. 🤷♂️😟
Hi, thats a great Bargain. GOOD LUCK with your new home. Very keen to see you guys settling in over time and watching all that you do there. How far is closest shops etc etc?
Hey dude 😎 thanks for watching and the nice wishes 😊 it's quite a remote place and is about 8 km from nearest small city 👍
Just subbed what website do you find house like this on to buy thanks
Thanks for watching and subbing! Check out our video about buying a house on auction we talk quite detail about it 😉
There’s a lot of work!!! More than you can imagine. So guys where you work now, if you’re working ? Cause you will need money for new 🏡 And please, i want to be clear, how much money you menage to save in Malta 🇲🇹 Cause melany people think that you saved bunches of money 💰 due to your last video. I don’t think so, so please tell me, at least proximate. I wish you a very good luck! 🍀 Country life is amazing! Even we in Serbia 🇷🇸 we all imagined our lives somewhere in a country side. I have piece of land some i don’t know maybe 20 minutes far away with the car. Pure clear mountains 🏔️ it’s so nice 👍
Hey, came acros this video. I'm a fellow latvian. Sugest you to plant some birch tres. In 15 20 years it's going to be well worth investment.
I would buy a metal detector if i were you, you will find out alot about your houses history
I had 5 chickens and my family of 3 could never eat all the eggs we collected. Here in Texas people pay 6 dollars a dozen for free range eggand don't forget to get a rooster they will protect the flock from pesky preditors like foxes! Also you can make great compost for your vegatables!
Hi, thanks for sharing your knowledge! We were thinking about max 3 chickens as we probably couldn't eat all the eggs ourselves. 😊 the compost idea also sounds great and would help us be more sustainable and share the vegetables with chickens to reduce any foodwaste 😊🏡
i'm sooo happy for you guys! the house has a potential! also excited to see how garden will turn out
Thank you very much for the nice wishes 😊 we are also very excited to see how it turns out and happy to share it with you ☺️
Thanks for making video. Good job 👍🏾
Are Non EU Citizens allowed to buy House 🏠 in Estonia?
Congratulations! Can't wait to see you guys start to work on it!
Hey dude 😎 thank you very much! We can't wait ourselves to start sharing more about moving in and making the place ours 😊
I’m also moving in riga next year I’m nervous a little bit and idk from where I should start . And congratulations for you guys 🙂
Hey dude 😎 thank you very much! We hope you enjoy your experience in Riga and Latvia! ☺️
Congratulations, please have your chimney/fireplace thoroughly inspected before use.
Thank you and thanks for the tip! 😊
Apsveicu!! Very excited to follow your journey. You’re living my dream!
Thank you very much 😊 we are very excited to start sharing more about our new country side life 🏡😊
Sounds cool guys looks so peacefull there would love to move there from Malta.
Thank you for watching! Yes it's been quite the difference for us as well moving to such different environments 😊
Prieks par Jums! Tiešām skaists īpašums!
Cik tālu no Rīgas šis atrodas? Jā ar citām komunikācijām-vannasistaba, elektrība, vai tas viss jums ir? Pats arī sapņoju par īpašumu, bet nekad tik lēti neko neesmu redzējis, kur Jūs šo atradāt?Noteikti gaidīšu update!
Paldies par komentāru un vēlējumiem 😊 ir diezgan tālu no Rīgas. Daļa komunikācijas jau ir un daļu paši izveidosim 👍 novēlu tev arī meklēt un atrast savu īsto vietu 😊 par to mēs stāstīsim vairāk nākošajos video, bet šo piedāvājumu atradām izsolēs 😊
Congrats on closing on the country ranch house. How many acres? A steal at such a low price.
Hey dude 😎 thanks for checking in! Yes we also think we got a pretty good deal for it. Regarding the acres and many more questions we made a whole video on Patreon if you are interested to check it out 😊
Congratulations from Miramar Florida 🎊🎉🎈🍾
Thank you very much 🥳
Well done guys, you finally bought the house. At the start of the video I thought the barn was the actual house so was relieved to find that it was just the barn haha. Looking forward to see the transformation of the house. It certainly is cheap considering all that land that comes with it.
Hey dude 😎 haha yes now looking back at the video I know what you mean 🤣 yes we are very happy about the price and what we got for it. Can't wait to start working on it and sharing the process ☺️👍
I love it!
Congratulations on the house and looking forward to seeing more videos of the house and land
Hey dude 😎 thanks for the comment 😊 there is a lot more videos coming so stay tuned 😊
Just like to say we are pleased for you and wish you good luck in your new venture, look forward to see your progress. 😊👍
Hey dude 😎 thank you very much we appreciate it a lot 😊 we are very happy and excited to start sharing more about our new journey 👍😊
Congrats guys! Well done. I hope in the future you could explain more in detail LV tax system in regards to properties - from buying it from auction sites to running yearly costs/ housing/council taxes/ lawyer costs/ stamp duty, legal process etc. Also could you talk more about the geography of your property, land structure/quality/elevation, options for going self sufficient from very essential amenities - water, electricity(solar?), Sewage, fire cost vs gas etc, Latvian house quality for heat retention, how deep are foundation and how old is this house, has it historic value? etc.
And how easy it is to settle in a new community in LV? Is your village/town open to visitors or it's a struggle to find/ make friends?
I also saw you are planning for garden - is there plan for outdoor cellar?
What is your ambition in regards to going green/eco/ living off land and how LV market ( in regards to building materials/ skilled workforce/ labour cost) can help you/make easy to achieve this?
In anticipation and best wishes,
Rita
Hi and thanks for you comment and questions 😊 we just released a video about the auction site and if you have more questions we also uploaded a Q&A video about the house on Patreon channel 👍😊
Wow guys!
Curious to know what's your connection to Malta, since I live there. Enjoying watching your journey 👍🏻
Hi and thanks for watching! Our only connection to Malta was that we moved there and loved there for 2 years 😊
@@WeAreHarvestingdreams How lovely, and what a coincidence 😊
MALTA to LATVIA ! What a culture shock in life !
Glad you are happy in your new house but I am betting you will be anxious to go back to Malta at some point or some other highly developed place
I would go crazy out in the country with nothing and nobody nearby
SEE you in Malta next year !
It actually was quite the culture shock but we are now used to it. I guess we might have different personalities as we actually get more anxious around people and more peaceful alone 😅 you never know what's going to happen in the future, but at least to come and enjoy the Maltese beaches and pastizzi we will come over for sure 😃
@@WeAreHarvestingdreams CAN'T be BAD thing to GO BACK HOME !
I am in Brasil now from Florida, miss some things in the US but not a LOT OF THEM
I ACTUALLY like the agitation of cities otherwise I get bored.
I commend you on your excellent english too ! Did you learn in Latvia or after going to Malta ?
Congratulations 🎉 so beautiful house 🏡
Hey dude 😎 thank you very much 🥳
Just ran across your channel recently and it is so interesting! Your new property is great. My husband was born in Latvia and we went back to visit a few years ago. His father is from the Cesis area. Keep up the good work and enjoy your new home!
Hi and thank you very much for the nice comment 😊 Cēsis is a very nice city! Hope you enjoyed your visit in Latvia 😊
@@WeAreHarvestingdreams Latvia was amazing! I could see myself living there. But with family commitments, that probably won't happen. So I'll live vicariously through you two. Take care
It looks like it is in a good condition for what it is ♥️♥️
Thanks and it will only get better each day 😊
congratulations! it's beautiful!
Hey dude 😎 thanks a lot 😌🏡
Congrats guys! Amazing achievment! I feel you really found the house u talked about and dreamed off! Can't wait to see this in it's final form, keep us updated
Hey dude 😎 thank you very much its appreciated! 😊 Yes we also feel like even though we waited couple of months more we got exactly the house we were looking for and couldn't be more pleased 😊 will start updating in couple of days 🎉👍
@@WeAreHarvestingdreams yesss, can't wait. Actually, if you will be able to make it, what you dreamed of-and why wouldnt you-then it will be an awesome content on youtube, like living in a farm, grow your own veggies, self sustainability, animals, living away from people. It's amazing, can't wait to see where will this channel go-it's already great tho!
Are you guys near Do and Be Different? They bought an old property in Latvia. I like to watch their yt channel.
Hi, not sure if we are near as we don't know their location, but we also watched them as inspiration when we planned our move back to Latvia 😊
@@WeAreHarvestingdreams It is an excellent channel. I am in Australia.
It looks great! Good luck :)
Hey dude 😎 thank you very much for nice wishes 😊
im sooo happy for you 💕😃
Thank you very much for your support 😊🏡
Wow. I thought that type of houses just for several summer days not fro everyday life. It necessary to invest so much in repairs to make it comfortable... Interesting how it will be
Hey dude, you'd be surprised how many people live their whole lives in houses like these. It's true that this house needs a lot of repairs to make it nice and comfortable for living here and that's the reason we could afford it. But we are also excited to try and renovate it the best we can, as we are also not sure how it's going to be in the colder season, but I guess we will find out so stay tuned 👍😊
@@WeAreHarvestingdreams yes. Since that comment i already have watched other videos. For person like me who invite specialist to change a light bulb it is very interesting to watch.
@@Евгения-ы6л3ю hey dude thanks for watching more of the videos! :D it will be very interesting for us as well since neither of us have much knowledge or experience in renovations so we will have to learn a lot :D
Yay, congratulations.....
Hey dude 😎 thanks a lot!😊
@@WeAreHarvestingdreams Although the wife was disappointed you didn't show the bathroom or say when you were moving in.....
@@Stebs_Paintings haha we gotta keep something for the next videos 😅
wow, you bought it and wanna become a farmer?
Hi yes we did 👍 not sure if actually starting a farm but definitely will try to do as much as we can to be as self sufficient as possible 😊
Your videos are so wholesome - Congratulations to your house :)
Hey dude 😎 thanks a lot for nice comment and wishes 😊🏡
