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. 😅
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).
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 👍😊
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!
@@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
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. 🤷♂️😟
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 😊🏡
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!
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 ☺️👍
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 ?
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
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 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 🎉, 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 😊
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
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 👍
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 .

Of course I could be wrong and I can be concrete but the molding and weaving pattern makes me believe it is asbestos fibers

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?
