    As a Swede I feel proud that You have chosen to live in my country, especially in the nothern part, we need creative people like You. Conserning the firewood, next time, try to get more birchwood, it has a far higher energy content and will therefore last longer than spruce and pinewood. Besides, pinewood also soot your chimeny and can cause something called "soteld" in swedish. Soteld is a house owners nightmare, the chimeny starts to burn inside and can start a fire in the rest of the house. A wise thing to do is get in touch with a "sotare" and let him/her as a professional do the inspection of the "firesystem".

      And it is still incredibly common, and used to be near universal! There's a practical reason for that though, the paint is called "Falu rödfärg", Falun Redpaint. It's oxides from the massive Falu Copper mine that supplied 2/3s of Europe's copper needs for a millenium. It produced absolutely mind boggling amounts of this, which is easy to turn into paint that also works as a preservative. Many of these old buildings are soldier's cottages that are centuries old. They are a *bitch* to remodel, since it's all solid timber. Taking out a wall is not such an easy thing...

    Welcome to Sweden!
    Please, take care of that house. If properly cared for it will likely last you a lifetime. Make sure to paint the house properly with a plastic-free paint, otherwise the wood will just rot. If unsure, ask a craftsman. Many people buy these sort of houses and just let them decay, which is such a shame as they are an iconic part of the land :)

    In the video, it seems that you have quite a bit of firewood on your property. Not sure how big your lot is, but If you're lucky, you have som birch groving on it that you can chop down and use for firewood.
    .
    Now, more importantly, you need to learn how to talk to the squirrels. My grandpa used to do that. He took some bread (usually "tunnbröd") that he could break into small pieces. You can also use spruce cone seeds. Anyway, you sit down and sit still for a while until you can see a squirrel approaching. Make some "tsk, tsk" (sort of, find a sound that works) sounds and (slowly and gently) drop a food offering as far away as you can reach. Repeat with shorter distance until you can feed them from your hand.
    .
    I've never managed this myself, but then I have no patience. Still, I've seen my grandfather do this a lot.
    .
    Also, if you're going touristing, I would recommend a trip up the E12 (Blå vägen = The Blue Road) from Umeå to Mo i Rana in Norway. If you don't have the paperwork to enter Norway (Swedish citizens can go anywhere in Scandinavia) just turn around when you reach Hemavan. It's considered one of the most beautiful roads in Sweden and rightly so.

    Congratulations on buying a house! As you say, houses in the north of Sweden are quite cheap, and the further away they are from the nearest "largish" town, the cheaper they are. And prices can drop unexpectedly fast with distance...
    What you have to do now is a video on handling the Swedish bureaucracy: not everybody like having to do with the Swedish government, and some people cope with it better than others.
    And once you have settled in properly, you also need to keep us up to date with how learning the Swedish language is: for us natives, it's a piece of cake but for foreigners it seems to be anywhere between not particularly hard and virtually impossible. It might not be so much nature photography, but it will likely be an entertaining set of videos.

      When we lived on a remote farm in Scotland, the monthly log delivery was the best hour of the month - chopping and stacking a ton of firewood is wonderfully cheering. It leaves you tired in a good way and you are safe in the knowledge that all your heating, cooking and washing is sorted for the next month.
      And it's cheaper than buying it pre-chopped ;)

    Absolutely beautiful. I’m from the mountains in Northern California where we have grey squirrels. I’ve always loved them. I film them, and often catch one eating a fresh pine cone. You have to watch out or it’ll hit you on the way down, when they’ve finished what they wanted from it. My parents now live in the Valley where the squirrels are a mix, and these ones are so fun to be around because they’ll come right up to you. I believe it’s my calming, loving energy I put out when around them so they know to trust me. They take peanuts and halved oranges from our tree right out of my hand. They then proceed to eat right in front of me. What a beautiful house, especially buying it somewhat blind. Cheers. 😊

One the other day had their dog running circles around a tree, all while they were just a step ahead running zig zag around the lower half of the tree trunk. Once their dog went in I stayed outside, and just as I had thought this squirrelly squirrel ate seeds on the lawn near me.

I am also a house owner of a old wooden house in Sweden mine is located in Dalecarlia and firewood is the best heat source and much nicer than relying on electric heat, which you will also need! Snow clearing gear is a must during the winter too, not just showels, a some kind of large snow blower as when you get snow, you do get a lot of it. All the best!

I'll give you guys a tip on the way, from living under the same conditions as you, but on the other side of the border for yrs and yrs, when you think you have enough firewood, get some more. :) It's amazing how much one can burn over the duration of a winter. (Stacking it in the cellar is also not a dumb idea, I did see someone suggesting that.. but you don't need to if it's dry when you bring it inside... if it's not dry, you kind of have to). Best of luck with the house, the move, the filming, and everything.

Only problem was the wood we brought into the basement had carpenter ants in the wood. We had to remove the whole load of wood from the house. The wood went into the basement easier than it took to get it out! Good luck with your new home! We have had our first home for 41 years and hope you can too!

  • @onenuttybuddy
    @onenuttybuddy 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi Dani,
    Being in a home that burns firewood to keep warm, please get your chimney inspected and cleaned. Fireplaces that burn softwoods like pine, fir and cedar burn very hot. Because they burn so hot, they increase chimney temperatures rapidly, while also burning down quickly. The quick burn down creates a rapid shift from high to lower flue temperatures, aiding in the formation of creosote. Creosote can build up in the chimney to the point, if it gets hot enough, it can catch fire resulting in a Chimney fire. A chimney fire can easily burn your house to the ground.
    To prevent such a disasters:
    * get your chimney inspected, and cleaned, annually. A year after your first inspection and cleaning, if the chimney inspection comes back creosote free in year two, I would say to can go 2-3 years until your next inspection and cleaning.
    *only burn hardwoods. Hardwoods burn slower therefore your stockpile of wood will last much longer. Hardwoods don't create creosote deposits.
    When buying firewood, use a moisture meter(a gadget that can be purchased a good Ironmongers. In Britain they cost around inc VAT £46.80 ex VAT £39.00. you should buy firewood with a moisture content greater than 15-20%. Any higher and the wood will not burn efficiently. Oh yeah, moisture meters can be used to measure the moisture in walls and floors too.
    Nice place Dani. To reduce static electricity in your home and increase the humidity in the air, place kettles over the heat registers in the floor
    You guys should look around for a couple of used Kayaks for exploring the lake.
    Speaking of "you guys", when are we going to hear more about boyfriend. Nothing to serious though. We don't need to know if he wears briefs or boxers, nothing like that!! Maybe, how did you meet, where is he from, what does he do to make a living? Obviously, he must like the great outdoors just as you do. Does he have any hobbies: fishing, carpentry, maybe a brick mason, restoring antique furniture, is he a writer of trashy paperback novels, maybe a poet? Maybe he works in the fire brigade? Maybe a constable How about a Doctor, a solicitor, or a home builder/developer? Curious subscribers WANT to know.
    Nice bed! Certainly well made.
    Goodness, I have written a novel here. FYI, mice hate the smell of balsam. To prevent the intrusion of mice, purchase some balsam fir essential oil. This aromatic scent kept inside your home, should keep these creatures away. It also works great in storage sheds, garages, and attics.
    Take care!! Have a day!

I did a lot of research and looked at so many houses on the internet, and couldn't believe how big they were for so little money. Three times the size of my house in Grimsby and half the price!! In the end I decided I'd miss the UK (and all its faults) too much, but I still sometimes wish I had gone for it and upped sticks to Sweden..
