    Jasmine is making her own channel? I am literally bouncing in my seat. That would be fabulous. She is so talented with the editing. Fixing up the RV/caravan would be a really fun project too. 🧡

    Couldn't agree with you more about those workers who pick the fruits we love. Thank you for acknowledging them. We don't do it enough and take so many things for granted. Also much appreciation to Jack for helping out so often. He and Jaz are vegetarians--another plus!

    OMG can’t believe that you have so much stuff. Must be good to finally have a good clear out and general tidy up. Get rid of the rubbish. There’s recycling and then there’s rubbish. Good luck Sam. And thank goodness for Jack well done. 😊

    Yes! Progress!
    And a Project for Jasmine!🤗
    I don't think anyone ever "likes" to dive into a mess but, it feels sooo Good after all is done and renewed! The cottage is even more opened up, and I love it!
    🌟Kudos!!😉

    Jack is such a hard working young man. You managed to get an incredible amount of cleanup done with his help! Sometimes we all need someone to give a bit of perspective as to what needs to go to the ‘tip’. Clutter just happens but it feels soooo good to be rid of it! Looking much tidier now and with Jasmine tackling the caravan interior, there is another project that will free you to continue with the cottage. We can’t be everywhere at the same time🤗

Will be fun to see the inside, too. Hope Jasmine does do a channel! And Jack is such an amazing guy. Good work, Jack! Nice to see Sam a bit there.

    My grandfather was a farmer, and he never threw anything away. He always said every time he threw something away, he would need it the following week. Eventually, he would find a new use for most things. Nothing was ever wasted. It was repaired, reused, or recycled. You and he would get on wonderfully!

    Sean, such a lot was done today. Lots of brambles obscuring that lovely cottage. The iron bar work on the window was lovely to see.
    I hope Sam can fashion something yummy from the grapes.
    Jack is a very hard working. So nice for you having his help.
    The cows visiting was a real treat.
    The clean off of the caravan was quite the transformation.
    Love watching your channel.

    The amount of work you & Jack did is impressive!
    Thank you for acknowledging the hard & often dangerous work of those people who work so we can have fruit.
    Our county in Southern California is well known in the US as providing year round growing seasons for fruits & veg.
    Strawberries, MANY varieties, are grown & harvested year round. Our county has several agencies, both county government affiliated & private, non-profit, assisting farm laborers. I worked for 17 years for the county health care agency (I am retired registered nurse). I was & am impressed by the outreach by my agency.
    One "small" but very significant example is that the 1st available Covid vaccine was provided in the community. Housing areas, churches, etc. Our farm laborer family had the highest vaccination rate in the county, matched only by health care workers & those in communal living situations (care homes).
    Blessings, Sean.

  • @mikebeck7263
    @mikebeck7263 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Always interesting to see what people pull out of the barn... I'm in the US and have an RV (actually this is my second one). I'm not by any means an expert but check that roof very closely. I'm going to guess that it's the same rubber type compound that I've had on mine. Usually they are very thin and prone to cracking They usually need to be replaced every 10 years or so. If you push on the walls and feel any give you may have some boards that need to be replaced. Not impossible to do but you'll have to take your time.
    Shoot me a note when you start thinking about solar. I'm a mechanical engineer and converted my fifth wheel a couple of years ago.

    I love that you are making your property neater and more organized. It seems as if it was a tiny village once upon a time and with your time and money it can be more beautiful than it ever was. The caravan project with Jasmine will be fun to watch. Jack isn’t afraid to get right in and clean up the spaces. You’re lucky to have him!!! It would be nice to build a cute pergola outside the front space you were cleaning up. The grapevines will look so pretty growing up the posts. You can use the posts from the area you want to take down. Fun video.

    Sean, your place is starting to look spiffy. Those patio stones add a nice feature.You’re very lucky Jack and Jasmine are willing to give you a hand to get the place looking very cute and charming. Looking forward to seeing you clean up those corrugated roofed “buildings”. I think the hardest thing is organizing what you’re sure to use, and being honest with yourself about what you don’t have the energy ,or time, for so part with it. You could make a nice little gift shop with your newly found cottage!
